[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

I think Niall just got a good point, and I think those /ad s he just posted are very good Roleplay!

[Jaaskaa]

/ad was not made to ad illegal stuffs ... /ad is just like a publicity on radio. As soon as the meaning of your message will be to hide sell of illegal stuff, you will have to face punishment. This was discussed before.

I would like Gandalf or Aragorn to reply if you don't mind.

[adam_stevens]

regarding nialls question... so if its not allowed, how should admins "judge" those /ads? Should, for example, /ad Pest control or /ad Cleaning service be considered illegal ads?

[Pandalink]

I take it as allowed, and I always have. I also always will.
Nonetheless, I think we need a developer to say this.

Question: I would like to know what u own when u buy a buisniess or a house, How u know u just own the property and how do u know how much of the area/land around u own.

Exampel: Take Verdan Bluffs for exampel with Corleone Mansion. Do they own the hole hill or do they just own the House and garden and not the land around or parkinglot?
Same with Ocean Docks. Peopel "claimes" there gang/group own the hole docks cos they own a property there, in my view only the proeprty or the door and area inside since there can be several houses/buisness in same building....

[Inkognito]

Pancher, I believe that Docks cannot be owned by anyone, as it's goverment area... Same situation was with San Fierro Ship...

[Pandalink]

I'm pretty sure it was agreed that Corleone have no claim to the entire hill - but need to check that on admin forum.

I tend to lay claim to the AR Complex for the AR Corp because we own every viable door for that area. Similarly for the Araatus HQ, there is a walled area with tables - and only one door leading onto there.

Since this is an question discussed there Panda and no clear answer given i made desicion to ask it here, also to make sure players can get it more clear to

Situation: I'm in a cheetah and speeding in Los Santos. I notice that a cop is after me and I escape and I'm not suspected. I escape from Los Santos to Las Venturas and change my car. 10 minutes later I'm driving (70-75 km/h) around in Los Santos and I get pulled over by the same cop that I escaped from and writes me a ticket for speeding.

So, I changed my car (thus I changed my licence plate) and the cop couldn't have seen me as he was 20m behind me when I sped away. Is he allowed to pull me over and write me a ticket? When I did (( how do you know it's me )) he said that a military brand chopper that doesn't make any sound and is like 10km up in the air saw me.

LOL, i laughed on it.

Actually, it is not allowed cause this is metagaming.
I did it too, when i was newbie.

A Suspect is running, with cops chasing. He/she wants help and asks some friends on a phone/cbradio/PM. The friends, all being non-suspects, accepts and comes with weapons such as AK-47, Uzis and Sawnoffs. When they arrive at the chase, they immediately start shooting the cops without warning, and they kill them.

Some cops regard this as "DM" because the non-suspects just pop out of nowhere and shoot. Other cops even regard of it as unfair, as they are now forced to retreat, to suspect those friends otherwise they will be warned by the scripts for killing non-suspects. However, the "friends" say it's not illegal, because they are helping their friend and so they shoot. So the question is : Is it allowed for non-suspect friend to come help their suspected friend by shooting at the cops?

My View, and I think this is a fair view...
Until the suspect surrenders they can get help...
Once they surrender they have given all right to assistance and ANY engagement from criminals in an attempt to free the suspect would now be considered as DMING.

Timing is important!

This is more of a question as i want to clear something up.

Are players allowed to make illegal ingame adverts? Like selling weed, hitman etc..

If you reply that it is not allowed then it is allowed to make an illegal ad but change it in a way that doesn't look like an illegal advert and less conspicuous, so instead of:

/ad Selling weed, if you want some, come to Gas station 9

it would be

/ad Selling some of that wacky stuff

Or

/ad If you need a hitman to get someone killed, call me

it would be

/ad Want me to tie up your loose ends?


I would like a developer to answer this.

Adverts dealing with anything illegal are not allowed, that has been the case for a number of months and has been said in a number of places including by both Gandalf and Aragorn I beleive.  It does NOT need them to keep on repeating this. Once should be enough!

[Gildor]

So how are people supposed to deal drugs/get odd-jobs?

PMing is not an option, because its OOC. Also, saying it in /l is not a very good idea because most people wont pass by you who are actually interested.
