How can a  cuffed suspect use a cb radio ?

headset lol, or an augmentation if he's playing a character from Deus Ex

I think you're over-doing realism in the game. /cb is a CHAT. If you want to lock someone out from using a /cb, make him join a channel where you or your friend can watch for his presence there.

Is it giving you an advantage? Yes.
Is it therefor allowed? No.

Not to be rude, but no one asked you. You're not a dev'.

How can a  cuffed suspect use a cb radio ?

Since this is a free rp server it is possible ofcource. Maybe he got a cb radio talk chip implemented in his brains? 

I don't have a problem with it that much. But the weird thing is that the group that criminal belongs to got powergaming and metagaming rules... Sometimes they even almost force me to use them.

As said, I don't find it a problem that much. Using a cb radio to communicate, even when you are cuffed is ok, but using it to let the cop now he got 30 seconds to leave is kinda weird.

Anyway, that had nothing to do with my question.

Ah of course! How could I be so naive

Question: Is it allowed to use the Joypad control option and, or an Auto-aim MOD?
Ex: GTA San Andreas how to auto aim (PC)

I think it is, alot of players with no skill at all already use it ...

BUT it's only useful in single player , cause there is no lag. You can't hit a moving target with it on Argonath.

Well, it has nothing to do with skill. Infact, more people show skill when they drive using a joypad than with the keyboard. It has better response overall, and smaller movements can be made, and with the model I have, you can limit button presses so you can drive within the speed limit.

As for autoaim - it is a function in the game, therefore it is allowed to be used. Although, like you said above, it is pointless due to lag. Just use the mouse and keyboard for shooting anyway, you can aim alot easier.


May I also ask, what skill are you refering to? RP skill? Oh, wait, of course! Deathmatching and shooting skill which is actually not required on an RP server.

Question: Is money scamming against server rules? If yes, what punishment? Forced removal of the money, ban, etc?

[Bilbo]

Scamming is a bannable offense, and often the scammed money do get removed as well. Mainly it depends of the administrator though to ban or not.

Nanocommunications.

See "Metal Gear Solid" series.

[Leon.]

Perhaps in the USA that is possible

You're right, which shouldn't be the case, seeing as our country is actually a form of "mutated capitalism."

Let's pretend this little scenario is happening presently in the server. A comment with a star means a narration of some sort, or third person. Names besides mine and Gandalf are completely fake, and the events are not based off of any past events.
Leon Gvardia: /cb Hi guys!
Bob Gvardia: /cb Sup Leon
*Bunch of hi's, no important crap
John Gvardia: /cb Hey guys, let's go slap Gandalf in the face in front of his girl friend, just for a little lulz.
Leon Gvardia: /cb You guys have fun, I'm going bye bye
*Leon logs out for some food
*John and his crew go and slap Gandalf in the face, and a cop happens to see them
*John and his crew begin running
*John and his crew get completely destroyed by the police force, after being named legal murders
*John and his crew are feeling rather pissed that they got destroyed, and take out their anger out while Gandalf suddenly goes offline for work
John Gvardia: MAN FUCK you fucking idiotic cops, ruining fucking RP 24/7 stupid fucking noobs
Bob Gvardia: yeah seriously ur all fags
[POLICE]Junior: Gvardia, stop flaming and provoking us cops.
*Argument goes on and on, calms down a bit, until...
*Leon logs in
*Leon gets spammed with pms like "FUCKING JOHN AND BOB WERE FLAMING US LIKE CRAZY"
*Leon replies "Do you have any evidence that I can see of him doing so?"
*Reporters say, "...No..."
*Leon says "Then I regretfully cannot help you. I'll talk to them."
Leon Gvardia: /cb Hey guys, I got word of you guys flaming all of the cops and shit. Tell me what happened
Bob Gvardia: /cb We didn't really flame anyone, we just got a little mad, that's all
John Gvardia: /cb Yeah, cops kinda ruined a little rp.
*As you can see, Bob and John are completely lying to Leon. Such a disgrace, but Leon has no proof of them doing so.
QUESTIONS:
1) Can I just, out of the blue, request a log check of this particular situation if I wanted to? Without a time frame or anything?
2) With permission, could any person who is not an admin have an under cover account, with the sole purpose of, for example, watching over members (like admins do sometimes) of a group, to make sure they're not acting goodie goodie two shoes in front of their authority?

I have a question on how it works with the rule about not being allowed to shoot at cops to aid friends.

I would like a specific explenaition about that, before someone bans me.

Let's say I am player_1 and my friend, who I know for quite a long time on Argonath, Player_2 (good guy), is in trouble and he is chased by 2 cops. He asks me in /PM to help him, so I grab a car, go after him and catch up with him in my brand new pumped up shining, highly modified, $55,000 Green/Orange Elegy and start shooting at the cops with my Combat. Is this allowed?

When can I aid a friend, when he is in the same group as me? When I am standing next to him? When I am personally involved in the situation? Etc.

He isn't a good guy if he's chased by cops  :razz:
If you are personally involved, then yes I believe. Because at that instant you will react by shooting or taking cover. This will lead into a possible suspect for aiding/assisting a suspected person.(Example 1). The second example with brandish, and well taken care of "Elegy", I suggest you don't try it. Not allowed I believe = some sort of DM?

[Cero]

Cops are allowed to jump on a suspect's car and shoot. Cops can't jump on their own car and shoot suspects that's disallowed. Cops can jump on the suspect's car and shoot while the suspect is driving. Criminals are not allowed to do it in both ways.

This true? Quoted from ARPD forums by Ben Samiir.

[Pandalink]

Cops are allowed to jump on a suspect's car and shoot.

Gandalf said otherwise, but I can't be bothered to go through this topic right now.
But.. I'm pretty sure you can't.

Right?

[Ted]

That is correct and i have quoted Gandalfs posts below for you

Because of the possibility to surf the car, shooting while surfing the car would allow for a mass-driveby and/or better aiming as a usual driveby. This goes beyond the limits of ths singple layer game, and can be used for DM.
There for with the introduction of SA:MP 0.3 the shooting while surfing any vehicle is counted as DM.

Situation: Criminal runs to the nearest sport car and gets inside, cop jumps on top of the car.

Is it allowed for the cop to shoot the criminal's car while on top of it?

As this is (ab)using the carsurfing of SA:MP 0.3, it is not allowed, just as criminals are not allowed to stand on moving vehicles while shooting.
