[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[Altair_Carter]

Gandalf, how much kids do you have?
And what if you look at GTA?

The fastest way (though the most risky one) to make money is gambling.

There's another topic for personal questions for owners. See Speakerbox.

Over 8000.... and about 500 stable. 

As for GTA, what changed is the development. Worst disappointment was GTA:IV where they really missed the chance to make somehting unique and instead messed it up completely.

Let's put it this way:

Your a suspect.Your going high speed,running from the cops.And then suddenly....you got to do housework.
Should you just go AFK and risk getting punished,or /q and risk getting punished? Or is there a risk-free way?

first of all, housework usually does not come up as emergency. that means you either promised to do something earlier, or you reached a time limit that you were given. As this is a common problem among teenagers, lets skip the parenting  and go to the problem.
Regardless of what comes up, I doubt things will be so bad that you have to stop playing in a second.
And of course that only happens when you are surrounded by cops and have no way to escape.  :roll:

What you should do:
1. If you have the time, get killed or ask to go to jail fast.
2. If there is no time, let everyone around you know that you have to go and why. Make sure the housework does not happen 5 times daily, as nobody will believe the excuses.

There is nothing that restricts you from exiting the game if you have to. However if admins notice that you are regularly getting housework the moment you are surrounded, the excuse is as believable as that your grany installed the hacking tools...

I got a couple of questions:

I.  Based off the Argonath Vision, it is completely allowed for staff members to take action on using swear words. Can an administrator/moderator warn, kick, temp-ban, or possibly ban someone for saying /p f**k?

II.  Recently, I did the following, /p Quote from Scary Movie, "RUN B!TCH, RUUUUUNNNN". I got warned for using capitals letters. Technically, I did not use the caps, I just quoted from the movie, is the warn reason still valid or am I not allowed to use caps in quotes from movies, speakers, etc.?

III.  Under the Argonath Vision, section IV, it says, "Argonath strives to keep rules simple and understandable. Our community was created as free RP, based on imagination and creativity. We will not ever support it changing in to a jungle of rules that are impossible to understand, follow and adhere to. Our rules will remain the minimal needed to stop players who wish to disturb the fun in playing from doing so, not more and not less." What about rules that are not written there such as the denied right of jailing suspects that you did not cuff? There are plenty of rules that are not written. Should these so-called rules be followed?

Thanks in advance,

In my opinion that is just a kind of rule that can be concluded out of a "Respect every player" rule and/or the "No cheating" rule (you are using powers you should not use in this case). Anyways, that is just my opinion. I am also curious what an owner will answer on this question.

Yes they can.
To be honest I am used to read a lot of text, and if I see a player being killed and type /p f**k, that will not be reason for punishment. However it if seems completely random or based on an argument between players, actions can follow.

II.  Recently, I did the following, /p Quote from Scary Movie, "RUN B!TCH, RUUUUUNNNN". I got warned for using capitals letters. Technically, I did not use the caps, I just quoted from the movie, is the warn reason still valid or am I not allowed to use caps in quotes from movies, speakers, etc.?

We have an intrnational community, and you should understand that not all people will be familiar with the movies you have seen. There for apart from missing the joke, the use of caps might have annoyed someone. If you type in /p you have to understand that it is readable for all, and there for you should refrain from random shoutings.

I have no idea about what rule you are talking.
Remember that on Argonath there are more than one set of rules. The basic server rules are very simple and limited. However if you are part of a group, sometimes the group wishes to create a more complicated code of conduct. If you wish to remain in the gorup, follow the rules. If not, just follow server rules.

A hit was set on Moose. I accepted it and said in public chat: da moose is loose. I became to find Moose and he stopped. I role played a bit (/me pulls out a Combat Shotgun) and killed him. I then said in /p "Sorry moose". Quickly, I was temp-banned for death matching. Is the reason valid if a.)I accepted the hit, b.) I role played instead of just killed him?

Maybe just a misunderstanding.

Admins can not directly see if it is a hitman contract or not, keep that in mind!

And another note, I am not moaning on my temp-ban, nor do I feel the need to insult the administration. This ban will just look bad on my administration application and I want to clear it.

[Gandalf]

This is not a place to complain on actions of admins, but to find clarification on the rules.

As for setting a hit on an admin, this is best avoided. Remember that admins have more chat lines as usual players and there for could overlook the message a hit was set on them.
In this case it seems to have been a tactic from a group to set hits in order to be able to kill another group. This is not allowed as well, and if noticed all hits would have been cancelled. During your tempban this matter was cleared.

Are mild religious discussions disallowed in the SAMP server?
