Introducing a character system

[JDC]

abusive cuntlords

A worthy addition to my vocabulary.


For someone with my playing style (i.e. actually knows sportsmanship), this is just an extra expense that I don't need to avail of. Interesting to see how this would play out.

What about the possibilities for abuse though? (i.e. people insulting others and using "oh it was not me it was only my character" excuse when confronted after)

I don't really see the named situation as abuse. Stuff you do on one character has consequences for that character, while stuff you do or say on the other has consequences for that other character. Assuming you're talking about RP and not people screwing around with others for non-roleplay reasons.

Question: If I change to a character will my name change temporarily as well?

A quick read through this topic would tell you the answer is no.

This is important. Having "Stivi" above my head but when I speak to someone else he sees "I_Have_Your_TV says: W'sup Mayne?" will create a lot of confusion.

If you buy another Character he can be FLA and not be Julio,  but you still have your other character Julio who can be pimping them hoes instead and you dont lose either.

/character yourself and you'll see. "Julio_Kolta" isn't a character. I don't have any characters. What I'm asking is, if I DO buy a character, it means I will no longer be able to go back to the "Julio_Kolta" entity unless I then buy that AS WELL.

Agreed. What about doing like (for example only), LSRP has the option to buy a mask that will hide your name(nametag) and change it to [mask_84859505]. Isn't it possible to do something like that? If I do /Character Ernst_Svensson my nametag will change to that.

Suggestion:

/Groups requires admin approval to be added, after theyve posted on forums to Groups and Families Board.

Why not require /Characters to be approved the same way, once they are added to @Teddy 's most recent Character board?

How is this exactly going to prevent the abuse you talk about? I can just make a character, get some charges by FBI and then delete it like nothing happened, is this true?

[Mikal]

Would be cool if there was small text floating above the players nickname showing their active character name, could make it optional for players to use I guess.

This creates a trail we can conclusively follow to rid this server of those fucktards. In previous cases, where no real definitive system existed, it would prove rather difficult to trace and disprove.

Yes, I was thinking the same as well.


I CANNOT be any more clear: We are NOT LSPR and we never will be. IF you want that hardcore shit, go for it there. We ARE NOT it. We will NOT hide names. End of the discussion. This is about one thing: minimizing abuse of the character system; in addition its allowing us to track the fuckers abusing it.

Not sure if I'm in the correct post to say this but, I think that would be great if we could save /wear  items, so when we relog we have all items displayed on the character as it was last time we played.

[Kalvin]

1) If only we can get rid of the name tag and replace it with the current character name or something like that, it will be great.
2) On every login session, it will first ask which character to spawn with.
3) Characters may have the ability to have different clothes.

So let's say I wanted to join a gang.

I go and shot at some cops, FBI starts a case on me and some friends in PD tell me about it, I roleplay leaving town IG.
Next day I create a new character and join the same gang and we start everything again.
Can I get punished for this? And if yes, how is HQ going to check everyone using this system?
Because we can simply create a brand new character each week making it hard to bring someone down on the long run, Since one can just RP that character dieing of a heartattack each time someone puts a court case on them and puff character gone.

Say some cops request a lawyer, but I chose to play a mobster on login, I can /q and choose the lawyer char?
