Tasing players who are actively shooting (Rush Tazing)

[Devin]

Don't think you quite get his point.

Don't worry, Alzheimers and dementia affects many old people.

[Fuzzy]

Fully agree. Less RP is better. oh wait....

More scripts = Less RP? I don't think it quite works like that to be honest.

[McGarrett]

Gandalf..... This is Grand Theft Auto, if you think weapons is in the way of RP, then I recommend creating a community in Habbo Hotel or ClubPenguin.

[taseen11]

We've all seen how much RP there was in RS4, much more than 5.2. 

[Teddy]

It's moments like this I wonder why I stay. I get a lot of shit from players, other developers, admins, and now according to the owner I'm an idiot.

[Luke]

I think we've came to the conclusion that this is a community where there is always something to moan about, myself I simply gave up with moaning, and just take it in my stride and carry on, guessing everyone else needs to do the same, and stop getting so touchy with everything.

[FARQ3X]

No offence to us criminals. But for F*ck sake, Ive never seen a tazer get abused unless you went absolutely apeshit. Seems that you people do not understand the point of them. Yes they are a bit overpowered. They should have a chance to fail. They should have lowered range that is for sure. But otherwise if you RP and not do everything to win you will be ok.

I at least think you're doing it right. There are a lot of improvements in Argonath since last time I played.

As McGarret said, Teddy basiclly has single handley kept Argonath alive. (Obviosuly the whole Dev/Adminstration Team doing their part)

[Ben.]

Gandalf is talking about using /me instead of scripted weaponry. It sounds old-school, but I think he has a point.
Its so easy to just tap away at your commands and not actually engage with anyone, particularly for us cops.
/m1
/s3
/taser
/cuff
/mir
/jail

I think there's some excellent script additions we have that have made RS5.2 good, but it's nice to interact properly with people too. People may be drawn in with fancy scripts, but it's interaction which will make them stay I'd have hoped.


Teddy, there's no doubt that you and the guys have done some excellent work - In fact, I have a PM from Gandalf praising the script. I wouldn't worry too much about it 

[McGarrett]

Sure, you can say that he has a point. But I feel that Gandalf is far older than the rest of us. You have to remember that people are in the age between 10-20 here and maybe a few from 20-25. None wants to do that Ben. It would maybe have worked in 2008 which it did, but it does not work in 2016 which is 8 years later. It is simple. You need to be flexible. If you do one wrong and you learn what you did is wrong, you will not continue to follow that path will you? You need to be flexible and Argonath needs to be flexible. You need to meet the standards of the players and what the players look for the key points of staying in a server instead of telling them "You dont like it here? Bug off". Meet the players standards, it is the players who are shaping this server, not the owner.

I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood him. It's the way you do things that could be considered 'unusual' so we might not actually know what you're up to. As someone has recently said, you've gotten this community back to its feet, even if you didn't script all of it, you had the majority of the leadership of script making.

However, I still continue to believe that it is those who hold the power that are damaging the community the most. It is the corrupt that are f**king up continuously and not anything is being done to them because if we lose that specific person, we could fall back a couple of steps. Some people are just not fit to hold certain power.

Touche sir, touche. We do need some fancy quirks particularly to attract newcomers.

[Devin]

Not the policy, the idiots who did not understand it and still seem not to understand the policies.
And some of those idiots even think that reinventing the old things is progres...

I guess it's easy to call others idiots when one has no idea of what is currently in the server.

11 hours within the server since December 2013.

If you have issues with how things are run then why not show some input in development and changes instead of creating a mess in public again.

no sir, he is playing undercover, he is always watching tee hee just like Sauron.
