[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[Gandalf]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask or anything (and this question is for G).

Why did you open Argonath? Why have put so much effort and money too make this? What do you "get" when you run Argonath?

Why did we open Argonath? Because we were not happy with the direction the community where we played was taking, and we wanted to make things better.

When we opened it I warned everyone that if we were doing this it was going to be a long term project, not something to be abandoned. We put in the effort and money simply because it is our hobby. Many people spend more when they go out to drink in one day, or on any other hobby.

What we 'get' is providing a place for people to meet and make friends from all over the world. People who can practice their skills for later in life, who can make mistakes and learn from them without having the strong consequences they would have in real life.
They imporve their English, learn to discuss and communicate with others, to manage resources and people, to cooperate and follow orders.

And for all this, we are grateful.

A large group of criminals come to you and ask for a large sum of money or otherwise they will kill you? They just start counting till 10 till you give the money and than they kill you, they don't respond anything else during the counting and kill you when it is over. Can this be considered as DM or a forced RP? Would this be acceptable or not?

Well, I don't think anyone can disagree with that.

It really wasn't necessary to post that in all bolded yellow so no one could read it.

It really wasn't necessary to post that in all bolded yellow so no one could read it.

Example:
Situation metagaming.
Four people want to enter the FBI conference. The guard stops them with 'Corleones are not allowed'. They reply with 'How you know who we are ?' and 'something weriddo not metagamesomething weird.
Then they get in to a discussion on this.

[Cyril]

It was readable when the theme was dark, now it's white so it's pointless to write in yellow.

[Abraham]

Agreed, maybe a moderator could change the color on the first post?

I dont get this,

Criminal cant return to RP after got killed, but cops can do this. That is non-rp also not fair :/ So can anyone tell me what the diffrent is? Because this is not balanced.

If cops have rights to return after RP then criminal should have same rights.

We all know cops have /equip so they die and do /equip then return and all day long untill the criminal die.

But the poor criminal only got the equip they bought from ammo store.

Anyone see the point? Like i said not fair system. Just because they are cops........

Did you use search function before asking?

FlameMan punished me as well for the same reason, I was inside the vehicle with 3 suspects, I lost the wanted level a few minutes before them, but I was still a part of the evading, but I've been told that I should have jumped out of the vehicle and head to the other side.

The problem with you was that you lost the wanted level and about 1-2 minutes later, when some cops appeared behind your friends' car, you (already as a civilian) opened fire on the cops.
I think I explained clearly, that you run from the cops (and successfully evade) not to get suspected again, do you? But obviously you forgot to mention that in your situation report above :P

[Radagast]

But once again note that this topic is not meant for specific happenings, but for general explanations.

Keep that in mind, people.

Argonath is a role-play server, which means that it has the elements of an action movie. This includes the element that "good" will prevail over "bad".
Choosing the criminal side in a fight against cops, the best you can hope for is to stay away from them long enough to lose your wanted level.
Equality in fight is something for a TDM or Cops & Robbers server. Do not expect it from us.
