Lol if you're Donald Trump's kid maybe.

Pretty spot on to be honest. Having played from both perspectives its so easy to rack up punishments doing criminal RP. And people saying it wont happen if you follow the rules its not always that simple. Its up to x admins interpretation of the rules to a certain point. I would also agree with the punishments voided being automatic if it did happen.

As the first -1 just out of curiosity may I ask your thoughts on it? I'm taking that as a +1

Hello Phil McGee here Having played on the server for quite some time and having seen the server population grow from at times where there was only 3 or 4 active players on the server I feel the serverity of the punishments dished out at the moment are too harsh. Having joined the server not knowing much about RP at all I personally racked up quite a few infractions on my record in my initial few months. If I had joined the server since the new server rules changed id be 100% perma banned. At the time I wasn't even aware of the appeal procedure if I felt they were unfair. Personally I think the punishments dished out are far to severe and the fact they are permanently on your record and you might obtain 5 or 6 non RPs over a 3 year period means you could still be permanently banned. This if nothing demotivates people not to play or invest time if all the hours they put in RPing building up relationships can just be whitewashed with a simple mistake or rule break. And I think anyone can make such a mistake, either accidentally or intentionally in the heat of the moment. When the most active parts of the forums seem to be the reports/ appeals section I think people are missing the point of RP. The severity of the ban and the total lack of possibility of coming back leads people to do drastic things as we have seen this week. Obviously certain things like hacking etc should be an instant and perma ban etc. So my solution to the above problem would have a formula that punishments on your panel Expire over a period of time played. For example if you have played X number of hours over X period of weeks /months, you would be eligible for Y infraction to be voided ( Not removed from your panel but made non active). Thats my thoughts on it anyway. Cheers Phil

@alexalex303 1. I'm strawberry blonde 2. I don't recall doing anything of the sort. 3. Cavity search incoming!

Well I'd like to see the setting up of personal drug labs in house's and buildings. Should obviously come with a massive pro/con balancing. For example, yeah you are less likely to be robbed but the expense of running one is quite extreme and if you get caught your equipment gets confiscated. You'd also need to source your own ingredients for RP purposes.

Normally there is a decent visual boundary line that makes sense, small wall or a fence so if you bought an apartment for example then I see no viable option for building besides a light or CCTV on the wall outside your door.

-1 Personally I go somewhere private enough like an alley or something to log off but if I had an emergency Id log in plain view without even considering it. If you want to RP going home and getting into your bed then more power to you.

+1 Turfs were great craic.

-1 And no surprise the suggestion comes from the most trigger happy group on server.

+1

You should have to RP having a paper round on a bmx for a month to get it wiped.

+1 It was recommended a longggggggg time ago in Feb of 2018 but was shut down. https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/5770-binocularstelescope/?tab=comments#comment-25729

-1 Hire a doorman and RP some crowd control.

Huge -1 . Not slagging off the US but most Europeans are Bi-Lingual and its common enough to speak up to 3 different languages. Sure English might not be their native tongue, but I can guarantee you from speaking to some people its not far off and in some cases better than native speakers.

haahh -1 , The poor cadet thats standing in the reception answering questions about tickets would be traumatized.

Ok So it seems a lot of the engagement rules have changed but specifically the KOS 24hr rule seems to have vanished. In the server rules the DM section makes no reference to KOS but the kidnapping section does ie 3 hours. So which is it? Players are allowed to kidnap or to take other players hostage for these specific reasons: • You have to have a roleplay reason to kill the victim in accordance with the KoS rule under DM.\ Personally from a pure reality perspective it would make no sense to be attacked ,then retreat to go get a gun and come back and announce to a group "im going to kill you now, do you hear me via text and voice, please confirm that you have heard me. OK you need to comply, oh look your friends have turned up but you didnt talk on the radio. And now im outnumbered 40 to 1" etc etc etc What kind of RP is that? Why shouldn't I be able to box smart if I am attacked by larger numbers and implement guerrilla warfare tactics, not that I feel it should be war in the city. Also I feel if KOS is removed it will just to lead to a case of who can rob who first. Which is a terrible experience for people who want to play a semi legal lifestyle. So if it is to be removed I think it would be better to revert to the 30 min window of KOS. Thanks Phil

Cracking idea, it would be great to see possible mini games in the stands that can be player owned also. +1. Dibs on being a fortune teller.

That is a waste of resources in my opinion and its just plain lazy. For example I selected a report at random just to see its contents which already had an admin response. In the accusers footage his driver ramps off an upper story stunt jump on his bike. Now obviously whomever the driver is, is committing a rule breach AKA stunt jumps but will he punished, probably not. Sure it happens in some cases, but its not consistent across the board and therefore unfair on the community. https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/15335-id-52-78-combat-and-roleplay-logging/

+1 to this as a underwear billboard of Phil McGee is long overdue. +1 to the original idea.

Well if your not willing to use the tools in place to change the player base you can't really complain. They can check who the player is based off the time.

You need to record your footage and report so. Unless you gifting people KOS with your behaviour by not knowing what does give them KOS etc.

If you are still getting killed even though you comply with the robbery then it's DM. Report them and drain the swamp of players like that.

I have seen a magnitude of examples when reports are made and the evidence supplied portrays the accuser breaching server rules only to not be reprimanded within that report. I feel if the accusers rule breaches are laid out quite clearly for the admin to view ,then they should be punished within the same report. And they should not say" if you feel a rule was broken make a separate report". Some admins punish , some don't. I'd personally like to see this be a bit more consistent across the board The main reason for this is to deter the petty reports that are flooding the report section. As they may think twice about reporting if there is the possibility they will also be punished. But as it stands now it's the same mentality as a gorilla slinging shit against the zoo wall, eventually some will stick but he won't be punished so why wouldn't he.

-1 while I don't personally condone that behaviour it shouldn't be limited just because you don't like it. Yes the game is 18 + but I can guarantee you some of the players are not but that's not going to change anytime soon. And if you are a female player you will unfortunately be on the receiving end of this adolescent behaviour. Personally I'd advise to learn how to give it back if you get offended. Eg. Player 1. " You fucking bitch" You " The only bitch you know is Yo cracked up momma who left you in a plastic bag at MD" Intonation on the YO, apologies for the language. Or just make them buy you stuff.
