>cops metagame a lot thru blips

>"this is no kop vs robber server"

You'd be surprised with how many cops actually support removing blips.

>cries on a dead server with 5 ppl average online

>all of us gets active server goes up to 40 people, moans about the roleplay standards

Skyping lots of your friends to come online to create massive shootouts isn't exactly something to be proud of and to be honest, I'd rather the player count stay low than have all this pretty blatant DM, if you only want to log in to shoot people, you should stay offline.

that's pure rage; So what are you looking for? GTA w/o shootouts? Only friendly Roleplay? Or shootouts only count when you or your m8s win?

An Argonath where people who don't usually play don't just log on with all their friends to stir up lots of shit.

Go play SIMS

Go play COD.

I wonder what actual roleplay reason there was to gather multiple people together from different groups to attack a single groups members.

I wonder why you keep acknowledging and writing about problems, yet do nothing to solve them.

But then again I don't know what you're doing behind the scenes... Nothing personal @Devin I am just trying to understand.

Sounds like a NATO / EU tactic when it comes to defense.
I mean, usually people form such groupings for obvious reasons (being stronger, strategically, politically in numbers)
What else do you expect?
Do you not understand why people form alliances or have I missed something?

Spoiler for Too long / I don't have the capacity to read this / I fear discussion / I generally think you're a snob / Go away all players and leave room for us only:

RE: what chase said .... the following is unscripted, not discussed in skype with anyone -  to calm any anxiety, and not intended to cause personal attack but just a thought from what is now an outsider (outsider by force T_T) 

@Devin You should perhaps be wondering what you wish to consider a "roleplay reason". I suggest the creation of a lengthy rule book with what is regarded as legitimate reason for this, or that, if one can talk to someone with a window still up whilst the command exists of / windows etc... as this is the way Argonath RPG needs to go if it's difficult to determine why someone would do a certain act and it's evident that it will cause a lot of confusion if not done.

Can not simply say there are problems and not work to fix them and just allow them to happen or expect people to know something that is in the  sentiment of another.

 Common sense is not so common it seems and if there really is a consensus of the remaining players and "HQ" and "staff" on what views the server should follow; then the plan should be followed out regardless of Illuminati forces.

No single person can stand before progress so any notion that the owner is holding the team back as it has been put is silly argument as if there is an actual need, then whatever the remedy of the problem that exists, will be used will be applied, will happen. This is shown by many thousands of years of history in the real world.

If it is impossible, then cut your losses & start afresh. This is the mindset of success - instead of investing time and resources in something that people think is beyond fixing. Not asking you to step down but as Chase said, if the "HQ" say there are so many problems but they're lagging behind on change for whatever reason, you re-read the first sentence of this paragraph instead of sending out useless and demotivating comments whilst others are like "why do we bother with you guys"...
It doesn't make sense.

You are the perfect example why some argo players are not moving on... There only two sides, Criminals and Cops. And provoking others players and groups is also not the way to go, just shows how much of a roleplayer you are... WIN MENTALITY FUCK YEAH!!!!!

I bet you are gonna love RS5.2 *

[*Sarcasm]

It's true. People are not moving on. But they are moving away.
Reasoning perhaps may include growth of: Judgmental, condescending behavior to the player base.

In this post you talk of "just shows how much of a roleplayer you are" then complaint about a win mentality?
Are you honestly expecting people to embrace you after you tell them they're essentially a bogey man?

When was the last time you had a hug dude? It seems you need one!

An Argonath where people who don't usually play don't just log on with all their friends to stir up lots of shit.
Go play COD.

An Argonath where people don't play at all* - because there is a "we must prove you guys are bad roleplayers and only here to cause shit mentality.

Work with, not against.

For those who have complaints about the roleplay, I personally challenge each and every one of you to offer specific suggestions as to how those involved can do better in the future. Your secondary challenge is to offer said suggestions in a neutral tone - that means, not portraying a snarky/self-righteous/provocative attitude in your post.

If you have nothing of substance to offer here (ad hominem doesn't count as anything of substance), nor any positivity, I politely ask everyone here to stop shitting on Araatus' topic.

Personally, I had no qualms, aside from the fact that an officer involved with the initial confrontation with cops despite given much opportunity to leave with his life when surrounded by men armed to the teeth (was even given a countdown) chose to stay and get himself killed, solely to have a reason to complain to suit his personal vendetta against the groups involved. Realistically, the officer in question could have left alive, gotten armed better, and requested backup. But then again, I don't think the role of a police officer is his primary role here.

In the future I would suggest to everybody cops and criminals alike that if you are in a situation where you are clearly outnumbered and given a chance to survive, that one should take the more "realistic" route - the route that shows value for one's own life.

Kudos to Tai (aka Rei) for choosing the route that showed his character valued his own life, even if his decision caused some difficulties for my side

I think you're asking a bit much of humanity there chum.

Lol will you piss off with your biased bullshit, you were hilarious at start, now you're just being an embarrassment.

We all joined randomly yesterday, unlike you and your friends, we don't use skype that much.
