Now that I've thought about this even more, why not simply limit the number of coroners that can be on duty? Limit the size of the hearse trunk or eliminate it and only allow bodies to be stored? Five coroners even at peak times is WAY too many. In a city of 500, one coroner per 100 is already an insane amount. Then, if the number of hearses allowed out is limited, that prevents non-rp players from using the hearse for non-rp, they can't get one.

Sure, I understand that's what the rule says, but it doesn't make any sense for a one size fits all kind of thing. Would it also be against the rules for me to go fishing while I wait for a coroner request? What should I do while waiting? Stare at the ground? Can I talk to other players or is that not included in "doing the job"??? I understand that the intention is to prevent non-rp, but this isn't non-rp. It's very specific RP to take a BAD job for little to no money, and spend most of your time sitting on your thumbs waiting and hoping for some work for that job. I'm not suggesting taking the hearse and going to the mines, that WOULD be non-rp. By that verbatim reading of the rules, I literally shouldn't do ANYTHING but sit in the hearse and wait patiently for a request to come in, is that really the true intention? Can I drive around in the hearse looking for bodies? What if I find a body at a drug lab, can I pick a marijuana plant? What if the body is literally on the plant, should I just ignore it? The coroner is already one of the absolute worst jobs even while being the newest, it's my favorite, but just for the RP. I just don't see how it's non-rp to pass the time waiting for requests doing anything other than playing with myself in the drivers seat of the engine off hearse????

Why does the hearse de-spawn when I play poker? The nature of the coroner job has you waiting around for requests, and it seems very reasonable to sit in the poker game as a way to pass the time between requests. Maybe it's a bug that the hearse de-spawns? Make it so requests can only be picked up by the request acceptor. Random bodies which aren't requested can still be fair game, but it's very frustrating accepting a request just to see another hearse beat you there, because they were able to see the location on their gps. Being able to poach bodies like this feels kind of non-rp, especially when none of the other request based jobs seem to work this way.
