  15. 15. Player Theft, Prison Breakout, and Kidnapping Discussion

    in Archive

    Posted

    Very interesting discussion to start off with. I've been on both sides, I've played as a regular citizen and as a full time criminal as well, all on the same character may I add. Recently I joined Aztecas, this was right after the new rules got introduced to which I cheered at at first. As a civilian I was quite relieved to know some random on a BF400 with a shitty pistol couldn't rob me of my GPS anymore.

    Whenever I played as a civilian I was looking around while refueling making sure no one would roll up on me etc. Same with clothing stores, hiding in a corner with a drawn gun incase someone tried something on a friend shopping clothes. Or storing all my belongings in my car at bank and run down to the clothing store or barber with an empty inventory. From a civilian stand point I really do think a part of this rule should stay in place as to where clothing stores, gas stations, stores, furniture store, and just heavily populated areas like the pier for example should stay an unrealistic place for a robbery in broad daylight. However to add some realism I do think the rules should alter a bit during night times, perhaps make it so that like less populated areas, stores and gas stations should become a dangerous place for civilians at night where a robbery should be able to take place. As in reality I'm actually afraid to go out by myself or even with a few friends at late hours, however a way for civilians who do want to shop during the nights is perhaps going out with less valuable items on you, because again in reality you wouldn't walk with expensive jewelry or bags on you at 2am in a huge city like Los Angeles.

    Now to move on, from a criminal stand point: like I mentioned earlier I joined Aztecas, this was after the new rule change. So it was the first time for me experiencing the criminal side with the new rules in place. And I don't know how I feel about it to be honest, at all times I'm now recording everything I do, everytime an opportunity arrises I'm thinking "If I do this, will I play by the rules and/or will I get in trouble for this most likely?". I catch myself ruleplaying a lot and I'm disgusted by that, I hate ruleplaying but in some way or another you are just forced to, because you're afraid to get punishments which will result in a ban eventually, which no one wants of course.

    A short example from a day or two ago. A person pulls up to our gang's HQ, this person had been trash talking me personally and I believe also a few others of Aztecas. I can't recall the exact situation so I will keep it short, anyways this person should face consequences for their actions yet they are protected by OOC rules so we can't do anything to them. Literally a person could walk up to our HQ call us a retards 24/7 and we still couldn't teach them any lesson because they are standing on the pavement of a populated area. Now of course you could say move your HQ to a more secluded area, but even there people will jump to /b and say it's a broad daylight robbery because the line is just too vague. And I do agree rules should be interpreted at some point and not all black on white to avoid ruleplay but this rule needs a rework for sure.

    Right now there is not a lot to do for us criminals, the only interesting things happening are around chop shops and drug labs which are almost abandoned anyways. Outside those aforementioned areas it just feels like playing in an NCZ. Whereas earlier you could hope the person being chased would run out of gas is now completely changed. As you can only sit with them and look at them refuel at some remote gas station because it's considered a public area. Eclipse is still fun to play don't get me wrong, but I would prefer to play without having to worry about possibly getting a punishment.
