[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[Gandalf]

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.

How do people do it in real life ? Think about a solution and see if it works.

[Niall]

Thanks for the answer gandalf. I needed clarification because a new guy pm'd had asked if he could advertise being a hitman i replied that i didn't know because i couldn't remember a post where a founder/server owner actually said it was disallowed. Now it's answered by a server owner (you) i now know what to answer if the issue is ever to arise again.

[Bianconeri]

You could object and ask the cop to call a superior. Expect that it might cost you less money but a lot more time if you want to RP your way out of the ticket.

actually you can just ask for evidence of the speeding, most of time officer wont have evidence of it,
and you can get higher rankeds to make him stop fining, or if not possible threat with taking him to court
also its poor RP if you still know who it is(by looking the name)

There is a difference.
If you are in a fight with a guy, your friend is killed but you kill the attacker, it is a normal fight.
When your friend is killed and you are killing the attacker 5 minutes later, it is impossible for admins to control your reason for killing. If people kill someone because 5 minutes, an hour or a ay earlier they killed a friend it will soon go out of control and in to constant killing wars.

Fine. Now is it something you revoke passport for?

[cDa]

heh.. just to clarify.. revoke was for this pm: "payback for killing jack"  Isnt Payback same as revenge? As regular player he should have known about this,anyway passport was given back the same day although i wanted to give a "passport-less day" as warning

damn, had to quote gandalf again...
so again... im just standing with friend and talking on street, he gets killed by some unknown attacker, i kill the killer. I've obviously revenge killed. Now, are you gonna revoke my passport cDa?

2. Is riding as suspect in passenger counts as a carcount?

2. Yes.

Thanks for ruining criminal chases.
No, really.

By the way, once my 5 cars are up, I'm still riding passenger whatever so...

How is this ruining criminal chases ? A good driver will be able to outrun the cops for about 30 minutes with 5 cars.
The rule was made to stop 'runners' who would keep cops busy for 4-6 hours telling they 'suck' while they would change cars every time they saw a new one.

[Matthew_Cipricla]

I think thats fair. Im a criminal and both a cop alot of times and I see this as fair because you could just run forever if you had a driver or alot of backup. Once youve been in 5 cars your time is up, no matter if your passenger or not. And in new scripts this problem will be solved because you can get away from cops. Like gandalf said if your a good enough driver you can get away as in: keep going to a gas station and filling up or get backup...

[Pandalink]

A good point.

Today Deejay told me i am not allowed to have entrance fee of 1998. He says i am scamming new players. What fee is allowed then and how the heck am i supposed to know what is allowed and what not. I have always thought that i can have whatever fee i want since server has set the max fee of 2000. PLENTY of people have high entrance fee so am i supposed to report everyone who has high fee now? And instead of telling us to change fee coz its "scamming" how about just change max fee then?

This is fine as long as the name is NOT /enter which can scam new players who may not realise by typing that they are force to pay entry fee..

Eug_Bellic's hospital is 1998 fee with a black text. When I went on the $ sign I couldn't even see the text at first. The hospital was called /enter imo. I may be confusing that hospital with some other firm.

[Bilbo]

True I noticed that today too. Also there are some Ammunations with same trick..

[Eric Wright]

They took all took it from my ammunation name
