A Salty Subject, Power Gaming

[Sam Jones]

This is a subject im still salty about to this day

Basically in my first week of the server i read all the rules and had an experienced player with me at all times. When being chased one day i drove my HEMMT into the ocean while being shit at. I can to TS spoke out the issues and it was all fine... Untill boom! Out of no where " Ban, reason : Power Gaming" Im salty because this rule wasnot/is not in the rules list and i have never found two people with the same definition. Please can this be added to the rules list so another noob is not banned for something not on the list. I also do not plan for this to be a reddit r/ roast me thread post , please dont bully nooby lil' me

Lets see if we can get some admin advice? @Crumble @BratJaggesVlnd

Powergaming Is a very touchy topic, and although I understand your reasoning for posting here It would be a lot easier to contact an admin directly regarding this as this topic could turn into a shitstorm if your not careful.

^ What he said. 

 I get that yes, it would be unfair if the cops had facial recognition, fingerprints, magic fairy dust or something like that but some people seem to have a bit of a stricter view on this...

Usually power gaming is used as a term for when someone does some unfair roleplay i.e. "I have a magical hamster who can see everything, knows everyone and is telling me you killed someone"

It comes under common sense to be honest!

ACtually never heard of something called power gaming, just heard it described as lack of roleplay.

Example of Powergaming

Cop pulls me over in a sports hatchback as it flags as wanted on the ANPR system.

I pull over and explain that i am a mechanic delivering the car that has been repaired to its owner in Kavala.

Cop doesn't believe me and arrests me insisting i am the owner and he recognises my voice/face from that day he was in McDonalds getting a box of 20 nuggets.

Takes me back to the station, does a dna scan, fingerprints me, retina scan and then throws me to jail.

P.S not that extreme but you can get the jist of what powergaming is.

ACtually never heard of something called power gaming, just heard it described as lack of roleplay.

Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems, particularly video games, boardgames, and role-playing games, with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie.
