'Changes' that change nothing.

Not sure where you get this information. /MDC is the only command we have to track criminals, and all it does is show if there's a criminal on duty. Other than that we can only /area them and get a rough location. We then search for criminals but it's not as easy to find them. Especially as they still have a run-how-long. So they can just stand somewhere in red county and it's hard for cops to catch them, especially as they're usually with friends, if we're not blasted dead at GS9 while getting gas, that is.

Since removal of orange dots i was free to move in city even in front of LSPD without being bothered. Also i experienced interactions with cops that made traffic routine check while i was 6 starts. I just paid the ticket and continued free on my road. Another story with FBI in market ammunation, they arrested two guys for murder and left three others free due to lack of informations. All of them suspected for murderer from server.

So, basically , you prefer to be chased everyday by cops? SAPD is using a different approach with suspects because lot of players did not like the orange dot hunting. If you all want to be back with Cops and Robbers situation, it was pointless to remove it. I ain't gonna comment more as now we are derailing

That was the point of changing the way things work, to try and get people to rather roleplay than chase orange dots and have shootouts. Perhaps the cops never even checked the MDC when they pulled you over or didn't want to get involved with that but instead wanted to roleplay a traffic stop and act like they didn't know you were wanted.
As for the ammunation story, perhaps they wanted to have someone report the players for their crimes before they actually pressed charges even though they were wanted by the scripts.

Plans set out by the development team will be kept in due time.

Whilst they work on the scripts, why not just go in-game and roleplay with one another?

Nuff said.
Tired of reading these fucking change,change,change topics. Load'o'crap.

oh damn how dare we do this! How dare we discourage shootouts and encourage RP... HOW DARE WE. WHAT DID WE THINK THIS WAS A RP SERVER? oh wait.

I understand, it's obvious the improvement of the quality, but we are suffering from one downfall of player count now since the ones who exercise this profession are inactive and at this rate we are sterilized.

It's true that the "quality over quantity" but what's the purpose of quality without minimum of quantity, to whom we will show this quality when there's no one to attempt to roleplay with.

Teddy, you know me very well, and you know my style since we had enough interactions with each other enough to realise what kind of players we are. I don't even use guns since first of all i'm not good with and is the easiest way to resolve the things, i need the difficult one always. But i have four years working everyday here and recognizing the mentality and our capacity. Having regular shoutouts according to the rules doesn't makes the server DM. The dynamic economy is based on objectives. Objectives are the only reasons why players get motivated to start projects and do something good or bad. Discouraging the shootouts affected to the main ethnicities of our server: cops and criminals.

[Stivi]

I think we already got shootouts  and why are we even having this discussion?

[Johan_S]

why are we even having this discussion?

To explain to Tiny that going to "strict roleplay server situation" is not good idea.
I think im done here, see you in the next topic.

[Tiny]

Thanks for your reply Rusty, I can at least now understand the reason why this can't take place on the server, but I am glad there are people with the potential to keep roleplay on a high level without the addition of rules. Let's see.

Shootouts and RP are not opposite things, I don't know why people think of it like that. RP that ends in a shootout does not equal to "bad rp".

I hate it when people moan about POOR RP after shootouts they make....
I mean c'mon, who has the time do /me bla bla bla in a shootout full of FBI asspulling M4s and shit?

People asking for orange dots and /area should join Paruni DM server. Argonath might not support IC / OOC, but it is a roleplay server. Don't turn it into a dm fest like it was not a long time ago.
