Riveting. Is there a part 2?

While I can understand your sentiment, I can’t fully agree. There are definitely ways to RP while the back-up rule is implemented. If you’re talking about grouping to “defeat a common enemy” per verbatim, at one point while I was in Daichead Gadai, we made a call for all gangs and organisations based in the city as everyone’s turfs were getting sold and dealt on by the Goblins, who historically stayed in Blaine Country areas. Through many discussions, mediating tensions (for example trying to get the Russians and Ballas to set aside their issues for the purpose of one common goal), and teamwork, we were able to deal and sell on all their turfs within a day to send them a message. This did not require any back-up whatsoever, and still accounted for a great deal of RP and development. Yes, while you cannot run labs with other gangs or shoot and kill other gangs in short-lived shoot-ours, I don’t believe it to be depriving of RP. It is also totally counter-productive to have multiple gangs fighting one common enemy in regards to the NLR rule. As it stands, when two organisations get into a large altercation where one group is majority killed, they become John Doe and the “RP” resets so to speak to allow for new escalation. However, if multiple gangs are fighting together to “defeat” a singular organisation, suddenly the NLR rule is very difficult to navigate and will simply spiral and continue until no ends. Regarding realism - I believe someone has already mentioned it under this thread - but as much as it is unrealistic to not be able to join a shootout with allies, it is also unrealistic to be on the same radio frequency with 3, 4 other gangs for the purpose of shoot-outs. Perhaps there can be a consideration for a quantifiable, said limit that you mentioned, but for now, I believe the rule is important for realism and overall the health of the server (particularly for new gangs that want to start up and for people to focus on their own fights, developments, and RP).

There are ways to avoid this, such as going on a different frequency with said gang that you are doing a task with and being sure the only people on the frequency are the people that are physically there together. Alternatively, if you’re suddenly fighting and you notice another faction is involved, you simply tell over the frequency that you and other X faction have it under control and not to come OR someone not involved can say they’ve got help by X faction, they have it under control. At that point, the fault falls on anyone that comes to assist when it’s been made clear not to get involved. Admittedly, it is a difficult rule to get your head around initially but it is fundamentally very simple in practice. I have a copy and paste outline of the rule that I’ve been sharing in announcements since the rule was established which I’m happy to share, feel free to PM if you’d like to have it to share to other respective factions or for your own understanding.

Thank you to Mike_Reggal from Ballas for filming the majority of the event and allowing me to clip it and upload it into different segments, please watch the full clip here.

I remember The Spades tried going down this avenue of RP and turned their RV into a mobile healthcare unit for criminals. You would be able to call them for RP opportunities, which I think was cool. The idea in general is great, but I’d prefer this type of RP created by community members over something that is implemented by script, personally. For that reason, I’m going to -1, respectfully!

Hey! I thought it would be good to clarify a few things on the Jewellery Heist because it was mentioned in the original post. This was an alternative RP request, which means I wrote up a document requesting several things to be approved by SA that would help facilitate the RP opp. Concerning jail times/fines, we asked that the jail fines would be paid because if you successfully rob a jewellery store, you would have enough money to pay back the fines. The charges placed and hours spent in prison did not change. If you’re part of a faction, I definitely recommend speaking to your faction leaders about your ideas and other creative planning if you’d like to do the same because it’s not impossible!

ravyn you never fail to impress, this is fucking amazing!!!!
