Bunny Hopping

[Fatboy_Rob]

Well, back when Kaltsu ran the ARPD, he brought up Bunnyhopping/Bunnyjumping as a subject, to stop it, and it worked for a while.
I want to try and re-create the same, and possibly make a rule of it.

I vote - Yes.
Why? Its not that its like a bug, or hack or anything, its just that its extremely lame.
When in life, do you see players jumping every two steps to run from people? (Try and picture it people.)
In life, jumping every two steps would not increase your speed, it would slow you down drastically.

:ps: Could you not play the "Well this isn't RL" card please? We all know its not RL.

I'm just wondering, is there a reason the people are made so slower then in SP, changing that back to normal would solve this whole issue. I don't know if this is true but I heard this slowness thing does not happen in some other servers.

Putting that thought aside, if you can get a rule going so it applied to everyone and not just people who feel like following it, then I would support it.

may i ask how do you suppose to eradicate it?

[Niitro]

OK, I woted ''Other'' becoz ....
Yes it is really bad thing to do, and its really unrealistic, but ...
Imagine you respawning in midlle of a desert or contryside, with NO drivers on and NO cars around, what would you do, slowly run to closest city or car, or try to get there as fast as possible ...

[Goodblue]

Its ment bunnyhopping in RP situatuon, and when no other people around too see then i think its allowed a lil

[NitrOx]

bunnyhopping shouldnt be allowed in roleplay situations, like for example yesterday, I was at the Ocean Docks chased by bunnyhopping swat team.. now that was lame

I agree with that. You can run faster without doing bunnyhop.

[The_Wolf]

Nitrox, there was not either one chase that I haven't seen you bunnyhopping while on-foot. First you should stop doing it, then vote for it's eridication..

And yes, I voted for yes, because it is very stupid ..

[Merc]

People should get admin jailed for Bunnyhopping, it is sooooo lame...

~Rest my case

You mean Admin should jail people for it ?


It's not rule breaking neither good thing actually it depends on your role playing if it's good or bad i don't think it should be against rules and neither it's Something good , if we are going to put all lame things against rules people will leave so for example people get warning for /jail once enter PD,driving Bikes while being suspect , take a car that's not yours without role playing hot wiring it or something like that , think of it .

Good, the non-roleplayers will leave the server, they cant be assed learning roleplay anyway.

That's not correct because there are good role players but not perfect , you know what i mean ? some is still learning .

Well they are very slow at learning, we could do with a "Roleplay Help" thing, where we actually teach them some stuff rather than letting them wonder and be an abusing cadet.

No it won't. If they change us back to the CJ skin, we'll all see two things.
1) Running in circles fast as hell, making it impossible to hit you.
2) People bunny hopping at a faster rate than it is now.

Putting that thought aside, if you can get a rule going so it applied to everyone and not just people who feel like following it, then I would support it.

That's what I want to try and do, thank you.

may i ask how do you suppose to eradicate it?

Well, if we get lots of people agreeing that it should be not-allowed, then there will be punishments for it, and a rule placed on the board (Once they do get updated... if they ever do.)

Well I personally still see it bad cars or no cars around, but I personally would do the same if nobody is around.
Same thing with Roleplaying, I do not spend 5 minutes breaking into, hotwiring, and driving off with the car if nobody is around to respond to it.

what do you mean with eradicate?

1) kill in large numbers; "the plague wiped out an entire population"
2) to destroy or remove a pest or pathogen after disease has become established
3) to remove all traces of; to erase.

Basically to stop everyone from Bunny hopping.

bunnyhopping shouldnt be allowed in roleplay situations, like for example yesterday, I was at the Ocean Docks chased by bunnyhopping swat team.. now that was lame

Yea, that is lame..
And thats exactly what I mean by it, like, look up youtube videos of swat in action, do you see them jumping around?

People should get admin jailed for Bunnyhopping, it is sooooo lame...

Well, I woulden't take it to that much of a degree as a first punishment, as some people will still do it.
I'd say warn them 1st, then let it progress from there.  And Admin Jail/Kick is for our more regular players who do it.
Its just like CAPS or flaming, regulars don't get away with it as we all know the rules.

Well Emilio, about the 'lets throw rules on everything lame' you have a point, though that's not what we're discussing here.
Yes, we all know Argonath isn't all about the Roleplay, and we all (Including yourself) do some of the stuff you stated as lame.
So its honestly not worth discussing now. Also, if the cop chasing me won't break into a car, break the dash and hotwire it, I won't either haha :P

And I might just join up with Merc and his gang, cause they're all cool cats that can RP well. (Different name ofc.)

Well they are very slow at learning, we could do with a "Roleplay Help" thing, where we actually teach them some stuff rather than letting them wonder and be an abusing cadet.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, but I'm not doing a school for it IG.
Take a look at this topic if haven't already.

I personally think it would be extremely cool if there could be a Sub-Forum (Like Child Board) for Roleplaying Class (Like, were we all teach eachother Roleplay stuff)
Maybe an English Class too, since some of us (Maybe lots) don't speak so much well English, the English speakers could teach them a bit and have some tips for them.

Thanks for all who voted and agreed with me.
