"Tipline"

[Kessu]

This idea is basically a copied 911, BUT the sender of the message would be anonymous and untraceable.

Let's take an example:

Hypothetically speaking, if DC and EAF were enemies, we'd obviously want drug deals and such go wrong as often as possible to run the enemy out of business, right?

Well, let's say that I heard a rumour that Nylez is doing a drug deal with say, harryoconnor and I know when it's going to happen and where it's going to happen. Now, I wouldn't want myself to be busted for telling the cops a newsflash like this, since of course it would raise suspicions of where I gathered the info.

Now I would type something along the lines of /c tip Nylez & harry are doing a drug deal near Vice Point Dispensary

Cops would see something along the lines of this: Anonymous tips received: Nylez & harry are doing a drug deal near Vice Point Dispensary

I think it would be a nice addition to create some nice roleplay situations, and of course ARPD can do a /c ad Anonymous tipper will get a reward for doing such act blabla and blabla

Before you think of "what would happen if someone spammed the /c tip all the time?" Press F8, send it to [email protected] or contact an admin in MSN.

Discuss  :cool:

I like the idea.

Because when a neutral player would tell the cops that EAF is doing something illegal and EAF finds out, the person will be shot to death, for sure.

Same goes for DC btw.

And when the tip is correct, people can get arrested or killed.

The tip-giver could get a percentage of the profit made during the moveout of the cops.
Let's say 10 percent.

Anyone giving false tips, could get suspected as well, due to the cops knowing who gave the tip.

Nice idea Kessu, too bad about the example though =D.

That would not be possible, since the call is anonymous and untraceable. Police would need to consider what to check, and what not to check.

This I like, but as the call is untraceable/anonymous... It would be up to cops to share part of the reward.

If it's anonymous, nothing changes compared to /c 911 imo.

You can also use /c 911 anonymously.
If you want to add extra roleplay, these tips OR /c 911 should not work anonymously.

/c 911 gives out your name and location on use AFAIK. /c tip would not give either, only the tip of the crime

/c 911 is not anonymous as it it spams the main chat with the bigass message that says "BLABLA NEEDS EMERGENCY HELP AT CAFE ROBINA" or w/e.

[Nylez]

Oh derp, my bad.

Well let's script it then!

[stormeus]

/c 911 was already converted to an anonymous system. Only emergency service officials (police, firefighters, and medics) would be able to see messages, and the person calling 911 would see a message saying that their call has been processed.

[Klaus]

So anyway back to the actual idea, I think it's pretty good.

Ok, so i suppose you are getting referrence.

Also, i actually like the idea of anonymus calling.

[Huntsman]

I like the idea, but i wouldnt like to see you getting ten percent of the bust ;s

[Nylez]

Thanks for clearing out WHY you wouldn't like it.
A civilian should be rewarded for reporting a criminal to the cops, to make it get easier for those cops.

It's like real life, giving out a specific amount of money for giving the tip that leads the cops straight to a criminal, so why not in Argonath RPG?

Because this is not 911 call. This is anonymous, so how could the cops know who to reward, if they never knew the caller? In the original idea, no payment was supposed to happen to either side, except for cop getting the criminal one way or another.
