Assassins

[Kojak]

If you PM one admin, what about the rest, if there's ten admins online, that'd be a pain in the ass. You COULD abuse /reportm but I don't think you should. :p

My suggestion is not to PM the admin, but to be obliged to tell the admin who hired them and why if the admin asks. If the admin does not ask the assassin who hired them then the assassin does not have to tell anyone.

ok ill solve this.
if its a regular player there most likely gonna say who hired them
as it is not required (but should be) to prevent this whole WHO HIRED YOU YOU DMER
problem most regular players say who hired them

if its a new player tell a admin right away

with this, this is how ive always want it to be done,
Note: this is how i want it to be done!
the person that is going to b killed needs to know about the hit so when the server is full you must announce the hit at least 5 times so that everyone knows about the hit. then you can go about with the hit. if the hit fails(you die) you must not go and try and complete the hit again, other wise announce that it was completed and collect your payment,

heres a step by step process on what should be done.

step 1: announce the hit in the main chat
eg.Main chat: Hit to be made on Nick(ID)
step 2: tell ALL admins about the hit so they know whats happening
step 3: once the hit has been completed announce it, and collect your payment
eg. main chat: Hit completed on Nick(ID)
         --OR--
if the hit fails, announce it and do not go and kill that person
main chat:Hit Failed on nick(ID)

You can not call a hit on the same person if the original hit failed. gangs/mafias don't hire someone in your gang to do the hit, really IRL they have there own hitman that arnt related to the gang/mafia in anyway(stops the cops from linking the two together)
Hits are not to be made when there are:
1. no admins online
2. when there are no ACTIVE admins online
3. when there is an event on, eg. official argonath racing, marathon ext..

remember this is how I believe it should be done

the hitman job needs sum serious work  cause i was a hitman b4 i was hired to kill daaan by mark_est daaan killed me tho  i lost 6k of weps or w/e so i quit the hitman buisness then 30 minutse later i bump into mark_est he suspected me for hitman then killed with-out surrender  i was so annoyed...

Hehe sorry for that. :P

I'm an assassin myself pretty often, together with Daniel ("D&D Assassin Inc! Professional Hitman Services!"), and I think the victims shouldn't know about the hit, else the whole point of hiriing in an assassin is gone.
An assassin has to kill a target fast and with as much stealth as possible, if you announce everyone including the victim himself that you're on your way to kill him, then it isn't fun and realistic any more.
If an admin asks me about the hit or kill I woulnd't mind telling him who hired me then, but I've never been asked and people never were mad at me after a hit. I think it's the 'mafia life', you can always be killed while you're on the street so you should just use your eyes and if possible, be prepared (always carry armour, and a few guns if possible).
I actually wouldn't even WANT to know if a hitman is coming for me, that spoils the fun. I think it's fun if a hitman suddenly comes after me, and I have to escape (when I got no guns / armour) or fight back (when I got guns / armour).

So I do agree with telling an admin IF they ask for it, and if the admin PROMISES he won't tell anyone who hired me. (D&D Assassin Inc is pretty professional, we really don't want to tell who our clients are and who hired us, we do it as professional as possible, we even try to meet with the victim, pretending we are giving him something, most people think of money then)
But I DON'T agree with announcing a hit on a person, so the person knows he is being chased.

Sorry Petey , but anounce it 5 times in advance AND to admins isnt that a bit to much ? I actualy think the anounce it rule would LEAD to dm , Ill explain :I anounce a hit on a gangster from an Rival gang , lets say he stole drugs ; as soon as his homies see he is going to be hit they all gather to protect him (more people with guns more danger of a BIG fight ) , now my version : you get a contract to hit player X , player X is walking around town NOT suspecting anything , you kill him FAST and SILENT .THEN you anounce : player x has been hit for stealing drugs form Corleone this way all know why, its not Dm as there is a reason stated . I realy think his is a better option , I mean we play GTA , killing is part of it even in RP ! Killing somone once for a reason isn't DM , Dm is when people start killing over and over for NO reason...I mean a hitman who tells his target he's comming , I see that as poor RP.

Here is the idea that will be in scripts (under debugging right now)
If you want to put out a contract you announce a hit. Everyone except the victim and cops wil be notified. The money for the hit is taken from your account.
Those who want to be hitman, accept the contract. At this point the victim is notified that someone (no ID or name) is coming after him and he might want to get protection.
If a hitman succeeds he gets the money. If one is killed, the contract ends. In both cases all other hitmen will be notified that the hist finished an continuation is DM.

Now that's something everyone can agree with, the player on hit is not announced and the victam still knows.

the question is are the hitman allowed to act like a bodygaurd inorder to egt close enough to them?
cause at that point its that persons fault for ebing stupid enough to hire bodygaurd

Nice concept Gandalf only one problem , if everyone exept victim and cops see it the fellow gang members will also see it so he will know soon . oh and whats to prevent a citizen that sees it to spawn as cop ?

I like the idea its scripted though , it will make it easier to check for admins (Ive seen this on other servers too)
