Finding cases of irony in SA:MP

[Matthew_Green]

Oh, when you arrived on Argo it was $500 already.
/ad costed $50. Not per line, just $50. And dayum, it was perfect...
But few SHITLOAD-OF-TIME later people still complain 'bout it

First of all, it's cost. Not costed. Grammar Nazi strikes again.

Second of all, this change occured a few months ago. I joined Argo in 2009, and back then it was $50 for /ad.

Third, if you continue thinking that this is a moan topic, it ain't. It is called "Picking out the obvious Literature Element and discussing it" not "moaning".

 

You gave a poor excuse to make ad $500. It's being abused more now.. and I thought administration was supposed to handle abuse

I agree. The role of the scripters/admins is to enforce/make scripts. In short words, play the role of Dr. Haxx

  There is much less /ad abuse now that the fee is $500.

  I have still yet to see players actually trying to RP advertise, cause they are so lazy and unimaginative. /ad is one of the most effective ways to advertise, why should it be cheap? If you cannot afford it, get off your bum and advertise with another method.


  Also, there is much less /ad abuse since the fee became $500.

No, because $500 /ad is completely unacceptable for actual roleplay businesses. I had to stop using it to advertise my food stall because I could only just about break even on $50 /ads.

It is abused much less. I guess you never saw 20 ads flashing per minute, or players using /ad as main chat discussion / to flam other players.

This forum thread was about irony within SA:MP, the only thing I see is a discussion about /ad.

Create a topic about it instead?

The players are not to identify the roles for the administrators. You want $100 /ad back? You must have not been paying attention back in early 2009. The constant /ad spam was notable. Those who try to get around /ad are verbally warned then warned to use /ad. Otherwise, not enough cash for /ad? Ask (don't beg) for $500. There is usually one good Samaritan who can help out.

[TheRock]

Note that using /p, to avoid /ad is a punishable offense! It's in-fact, Script abuse because the /ad(vertisement) exists for only one reason and no other!

[Squeak]

Instead of paying $500 for ads, why not just install a safeguard script that only allows a player to make one ad every minute or so and set the price back down to $50? Admins would only have to worry about offensive content and could pay more attention to things other than spamming or flooding.

make it $100 and per line, with the timer    $50 is too cheap and people would just make huge ads...

ive seen this work in another server ive been to

i know we dont wanna copy servers but a timer on /ad is good stuff

 

as for Irony

RP it.

In-Game

PM to =AV=JDC_Kolta(XX): hey JDC, want to come RP with me and Catzu?
PM from =AV=JDC_Kolta(XX): No.

(i made hisname blue to show he wasnt on red-name)
:3 i was pretty much expecting that but still...

I suppose flooding ad is no different then flooding /p? Players use /ad in main chat now, but they never really did before. Care to prove me wrong?  :pop:

As much as I know SWAT unit's are there to be called out to tame very dangerous suspects/situations.

Yesterday I saw them taking out two unarmed non-hostile balla prank callers.

People are constantly AFK/non-moving/in idle state at GS9, which is located in Idlewood.

A great solution. It's like in 0.2.1, except in those days, ads were one per minute for the whole server.
