[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[James_Alterlis]

IMO,

You will get suspected for aiding, even if u don't know, they will have to arrest u and investigate later in PD
You still guilty coz u "aiding by accident". Know what I mean, right?

You will have to surrender, and investigate, if it's true that u didn't know, u will get unsuspected

If someone advertises the next: "Selling Elvis Powder and Tea Herbs || Ganton" and by "Elvis Powder" he means Cocaine and "Tea Herbs" is Weed, then it is punishable?

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.

/ad is for making advertising as you would do in a newspaper.

Basicly it would be ok to advertide the above things. But....... if cops react to an ad by suspecting the advertiser they are immediately accused of abusing.
In real life, if you advertise to be a hitman in the newspaper or on ebay, expect the cops at your door arresting you.

So to stop the moaning about abusing cops from people advertising illegal things, we have decided that /ad should be used only for legal things, and if someone tries to circumvent it by advertising 'grass' they also can be warned, as they would fight investigation by cops in to their 'grass'.
also can be warned, as they would fight investigation by cops in to their 'grass'.

Search before you post.

Situation:

You pick up your friend from lspd who is suspect and evading. You see him, tell him: Hey, Sup? , Get in .(( You dont metagame and you dont know that your friend is suspect )). You start driving away slowly and you get suspected for aiding. Police officer dosnt yell to stop or something.


Would ive been able to get unsuspected?
( Sorry for bad english )

I would like to remind you that the developers have stated on numerous occasions that although they allow it, they do not support the meta-gaming/OOC/IC distinctions and this is reflected in the server rules.

No you wont get unsuspected, its your problem your friend havent stated that his a sus. (Showing an example of un-metagaming).

The buddy can give information such as location of cops, or can DB.

Situation: Player A places his car on auction. Player B buys the vehicle by bidding the buy-out price. A few days later, player B purchases a different vehicle. Player A complains because player B placed the buy-out bid, promising to buy the vehicle.

My question: Is this allowed; bidding the buy-out price, then withdrawing the bid after a few days?

So you say players should just play and ignore others?

A criminal is driving down the road. He has almost escaped via the escape script.
There are no police vehicles on the ground chasing him, or anywhere nearby. There is a police helicopter some distance away, it has a distant visual, but is not on the map blip range. The criminal escapes via the script.
The cop then abuses by resuspecting the criminal even though they already escaped.

I'm not gonna name names, this isn't the place, but I've seen this cop do this a lot of times, and never any other police units abuse in such a way.
My question is, did they abuse?

Is this ad considered as illegal and could be punished?
How does this admin knows that I am nor or selling water guns?, I thought that the fact Argonath did not force ANYONE to RP a special character, so I am not allowed too make these advertises?
