Remove /area already!

[Mister_Me]

/area has been around since forever in Argonath, and with the server being less populated its a good way to find someone and rp with that person.

I agree that commmunication is a way to find someone but only when theres enough players around to help you, which isn't the case right now.
If some group decides to kidnap someone and drive to a house, it would take ages for the police/fbi to find the hostage his captors.
In that time, people get bored, and thats not what you're here for, you're here to have fun, make the most of the situation as it happens and minimize useless waiting time.

Even with /area I recall hostage situations and chases that took over an hour just because everything was RP'd right, nobody (not many) complained about /area because it just helped the players find the crimescene and start off the RP.

Criminals with an rhl of 15 mins are free as a bird without /area , how are 3 cops supposed to find them if they dont know what to look for and not enough people to ask around?

This fucking topic needs locked and removed. Removal of /area will never happen, and will only cause arguments and debates. Not happening, never will be supported, and I feel bad for your ignorance.

I like how you throw a tantrum like this and offer no useful input at all. Of course it will cause arguments and debates. That's the whole fucking point. To figure out what is right for the community. You're the ignorant one just covering your ears and closing your eyes like a fucking child, hoping the "evil" thread goes away. "WAAAH. THEY'RE CHANGING FROM RS4!!!". Try to be useful next time and not act like a fucking baby.

Not a bad point at all. We can argue and bicker about why the player base is low but we'd be here for hours. This is honestly a valid point and a good reason as to why we should keep it.

That's kinda the point. Why work hard at concealing your tracks if your adversaries are just going to get their answers handed to them via non-roleplay ways? For example, a criminal could go through the trouble of driving their victim to an isolated area but it doesn't matter since all of that will just be undone once they /area. Of course, I'm not disagreeing that /area hasn't been drastically nerfed but it's still there and it's honestly not a roleplay command.

Chases being long isn't a bad thing. Better than the constant back and forth pew-pew until dead from both sides. It would give time for criminals to plan their escape routes better while on the movie and for cops to work against them. The only crime scenes I see people arriving to like that are car accident ones. The usual crime "scenes" I see are criminals whom are constantly on the move.

Not disagreeing with you there. Granted that it shouldn't be necessarily easy to find a suspect. RHL should be removed altogether but that's a discussion for another thread. Police have many resources such as aircraft to help scout for people.

Truer words never spoken,  God protect us from haters and moaners.  Amen.

Link9ly or whatever your name is , You still did not get the notion , With The Plucking out of /area function , People will be only eligible to spot targets using SMS , P Calls and such instead of spotting them with the assistance of /area, Therefor , The Removal of /area function is robustly related to RP since /area itself is not affined to RP , I am very sure If /area gets stripped off ,  A day later there would be a topic with the title of "please we need /area back" and Those who were against Its permanence would be supporting the recurrence , So Shut up please.

I am very sure If /area gets stripped off ,  A day later there would be a topic with the title of "please we need /area back"

And that is exactly why people should stop complaining, go ingame and take it for granted.

How exactly is this a bad thing? At least the phone call and SMS methods would be roleplaying.

Therefor , The Removal of /area function is robustly related to RP since /area itself is not affined to RP , I am very sure If /area gets stripped off , 

I'm not sure I understand what the actual fuck you're saying. Please try again.

A day later there would be a topic with the title of "please we need /area back" and Those who were against Its permanence would be supporting the recurrence

Doesn't disprove the fact that /area isn't roleplay. You can try to look past it all you want but it's objectively true.

A day later there would be a topic with the title of "please we need /area back" and Those who were against Its permanence would be supporting the recurrence , So Shut up please.

And? People who want commands that are a detriment to RP shouldn't be part of the server. We're here to RP. If you want to have an easier way to DM people, go the fuck away.

And that is exactly why people should stop complaining, go ingame and take it for granted.

Shouldn't you be stunting in Pershing Square or some shit?

Throwback.

Atleast I am actually ingame and roleplaying when ever there is something popping up like a robbery or when cops pull me over for it. I do not moan about every fucking little thing that does not help me to 'win'.

I'm in the game too. I'm in it right now, as a matter of fact. Also, why are you trying to change this into a cops vs robbers thing? We've already completely destroyed that argument.

Nice reasons listed. Very helpful.

Change it into a cops vs robbers thing? I am showing an example on how I am playing and I am killing the assumptions about my playing. I have never seen any PM or public shoutout to stop doing on how I am doing it right now.

Topics like this with multiple people attacking others without any fucking reason and the constant moaning about every little bullshit thing is the problem in SA:MP. If only the players would suck some shit up and play instead we would not have this low playercount and a much more friendly environment.

And once again:

Enough face to face bullshit, its about the /area command, not my playtime nor your roleplaying.

Then don't fucking imply that I

moan about every fucking little thing that does not help me to 'win'.

because I very clearly didn't.

I've already stated the objective reasons as to why /area is a detriment to roleplay. If people wish to remain ignorant and cling onto old shit for the sake of it being old shit, so be it. I can't fix stupid.

[eymas]

Thought i'd leave this open for people to discuss, but we have our own variant of argumentum ad hominem still lingering about. 

I'll lock this for the safety of others, don't want to keep hostility to each other if the community's already sitting on a ship of rotten woods.
