  • Considerations of RDM restrictions? Take a gander.

Alright so something is bothering me extremely. I can understand if you kill someone in a raid, or you are mugging them or whatever. But when I just want to go to the bank to deposit the little bit of cash I made and then get killed for no reason, it seems unjust and unfair. I have thought of two possible choices to consider:

  1. Make a !friendly system
  2. Make rdming against the rules

I will now talk about both:

1.Make a !friendly system:
I have seen this system all across the board on rp servers. Heck, on Grand Theft Auto there is passive mode. I am not sure whether or not a !friendly script exists out there but at the same time I assume with the dev team you got here, it should be no problem making one. There is also hiring someone to make the script as an option. I suggest looking for people on scriptfodder. This passive "!friendly" system would make it so you may not kill other people, and other people cannot kill you. What if all I wanted was to buy large french fries? I walk to the store and get stabbed 5 times before hand and lose cash/drugs. What I am trying to bring across is that it should not take me 2 hours to do one benign thing. What if I made some good cash from selling something as a salesmen? Not many people play banker, so I would most likely have to commute to the bank. So on my way what happens most likely? I am sniped, gunned, mowed, or stabbed to death. Well that sure as heck made that whole thing a waste of time didn't it? Looking at the devils advocate side of things, yes it would be a wee bit imbalanced to allow drug growing and counterfeiting while being in this passive mode. I completely agree that is something that can be exploited and I know that is not what is best for the server. The best solution I can come up with for right now is to limit passive mode. Make it so it cannot be spammed. Its quite a big sounding project, I am aware but I feel that the no rdm rule can be an alternative, which is where I am headed next.

2,.Make rdming against the rules:
Looking at this side of the spectrum, it would logistically make more sense to consider/implicate this feature instead. Most servers on Garry's Mod DarkRP run on this policy and run fairly well. Admins manage the servers decently and rdms get reported. The way that makes sense and the way that seems fair to users all around, is that killing should only be done on raids, in self-defense, robberies/muggings, and any other justifiable circumstance that can be fairly handled if admin personnel get involved. It would be more work for the admins yes, but work keeps you guys entertained right? I know it certainly did for me when I had admined servers and owned servers in the past. The side seems to make a lot more sense and saves the task of doing heavy maintenance by adding a whole new script in to make it work properly.

Conclusion:
Do I believe one of these options should be considered for implication? Absolutely. With the amount of time sitting on the server waiting patiently for money to print, drugs to grow, or simply your daily pay per hour to come in, I do not believe it is worth being killed by some inconsiderate person for no apparent reason. I am not asking you to make these rules, I am simply asking you to consider them.

Any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to respond. I want to hear feedback positive or negative.

Thanks for reading!

lol no screw that, thats what makes moonshade fun, its not fun to just sit around and do nothing, or plant drugs, it adds fun to the game and keeps you going.

People are already bashing us for our current rule on killing.

i think what hes saying about a passive mode could be fun but if that happened you couldnt be able to pick up guns cause that would just be well retarted cant be killed but killing makes no sense but defenitely some good ideas

I am not trying to bash. I am just simply offering something to consider. I just find it frustrating when I spend all my time trying to do grow a drug or wait on money. However, I arrive outside to go to the bank and I get killed. I am just saying that its a little wonky that I get penalized for playing the game. Again, it was a suggestion. I am well informed that it won't happen.

I love this community. I love the people here. I don't want to leave this community. I don't want to be the guy who always complains. However, at the same time, I find it problematic trying to enjoy the server for what it is when I get killed for playing it. Hell, make a new job. A "peace job" where you don't kill anybody. You are a peaceful protester that wants no trouble. A hippy if you will. Just something to throw in the bowl. Regardless I will still play. I will just deal with it until I hit my breaking point. Once again, I got no beef with the staff or the server. I just want a good enjoyable experience like the rest of you guys. It is subjective I know. I could go on for hours and hours with reasoning. It won't help or change anything which I am aware of. Either way, I have given my piece. Give yours if you want.

Also in response to @shiba "It keeps you going"

Buys Cactus plants.

Walks to apartments and gets sniped by an SSG.

Respawns.

Gets stabbed buy some guy who spawned a split second after.

Respawns closer to home.

Finally makes it home.

Waits for drugs to grow.

Collects when done.

Walks out and gets shot by a guy with a glock and loses 800g of drugs.

Frustrated, I walk to the drug dealer.

I get stabbed.

I finally respawn infuriated and sell my drugs.

I deposit at the bank.

Walk out.

Get shot.

Respawn

Rinse and repeat.

No, when I said "bashing" us, I meant:

[spoiler=Careful, Drama ahead!]>!

Didn't mean you, but I meant that above. If we place any further restrictions, we'll just be outlawed any further. However, I will still take your ideas into consideration. Just please keep in mind I have to consider everyone else's ideals with your ideas.

@[deleted] Ah, now I understand. I do like to hear other peoples perspectives on it. I am glad you will take some consideration and one thing I would like to mention surrounding that guy who said the nordm=____ stuff: I do not think he fully understands rdm. Maybe 3/4's? Cause rdm is just randomly killing for no reason. Raiding is a reason. Idk, its a controversial topic. I get you though man, I get you.
