/c bribe

[Marcell]

Since there were some conflicts about this,
/c bribe ID amount works only if there's no bigger-rank in 800 meter radius

so in case I try to bribe a ARPD cop with FBI agent around, FBI agent will gain notification and the bribe won't do anything...if I bribe FBI agent and he accepts, the bribe works.

@allofpeople
please don't start the SCRIPTABUSEABUSE topic here, thanks

[Verz]

Yeah, an useful idea.

What if /c bribe gave notification to all in said radius (say same as /c l) and then FBI and senior officer+ of ARPD could "re-sus" the criminal so he regains same wanted/heat level and the cop who accepted bribe _could_ be suspected for aiding criminal activity/corruption (again, only by Senior officer+)

Everyone would still be able to accept a bribe, but you'd need to create a situation where other cops don't see the bribe (no more bigass warning text of "no longer wanted") unless bribed infront of 69 officers with donuts but maybe normal "evade" text.

Only if this is possible, of course  :conf:

this + possibility to suspect a cop by vcpd staff

That would remove the purpose of bribe.
Also, radius's cannot be trusted too much. Especially in cases of interiors or walls separating players.

We can also fix this situation by allowing Higher ranks to remove a player from police duty.
It can be an addition to copban.
Once the duty is removed, the player can be suspected with treason.
That would be done only if the senior rank knows and has proof on who accepted the bribe.
Though they will have to figure it out on their own, script should not disclose names of the officer involved in corruption.

Ah yeah, something like that would be cool - linking on to what aXXo said. I remember when cops in some of our old server versions could be wanted, jailed.

It would make sense if the bribe had to be given in hidden view, as it's a little odd if it takes place in an intense chase, surrounded by police, or in an interrogation. Hopefully the criminal would think to continue roleplaying, as it's a roleplay server and all.

Could be very nice.

Disable /c bribe after surrender. The particular case was not script abuse only because he was in our custody, but also because the suspect was surrendered. Thus admins condoning rulebreaking when they supported the usage of scripts to circumvent the server rule which states "No escaping after surrender".

[Marcell]

How about disabling /c bribe after surrendering and adding /c bail to shorten jail time ? (if jail time is 5 minutes you could pay 2500$ to get out...etc)
not like anyone's gonna use /c bail unless they're pretty rich anyways...similar to real life more or less lol

[JDC]

It would be abused like /confess was in SA:MP, which is why they removed it.

Jail is jail.

...if it would only work on officer+ of ARPD

Everything done on freecops are claimed as abusing script that has been on server forever, or that is what it seems to be now a days  :poke:

JDC: Bribing a cop =/= escaping from a cop.

[~Legend~]

Would be cool if people could break others out of jail, once jailed...

Say, if they had a particular tool kit (available from a lesser used melee/tools store perhaps, or an illegal joint if it comes in the form of skeleton keys etc.) and they were next to the busted for x amount of time - although radius controlled things can be a little funny in the server - provided that no police notice, are in the immediate area, and that you are not picked up by whatever security systems, cameras you might be able to make a smooth escape.

That's sort of leading onto another idea, perhaps.

For the more ambiguous situations RP > scripts, right?

[Marcell]

Heh, I used to roleplay a few jail breakouts with Klaus, although it mostly focused on fighting off swarm of cops and not allowing them to get to jail cell before the prisoner gets out, lol

Sounds kinda like deathmatch fest 2012. I like it.

This is being implemented in a much different sense than suggested here.

Bribes would work as they currently do. However, if a bug is planted on the officer and they accept the bribe, this will be visible to whoever planted the bug on them. If a bug is planted on the bribing suspect, they will see that the suspect is attempting to bribe someone.
