Just to clarify, from an admin's point of view.
There is no requirement to roleplay in the Red Zone. It was created intentionally to allow civilian and rebel people to do what they wanted, without rules. Because they'd asked for this, and because the ruleset was tightening up in the 'lawful west' of the island.
If you don't want to be shot WITHOUT WARNING, WITHOUT ROLEPLAY, WITHOUT A CHANCE.... then don't go into the Red Zone. Anywhere. Anytime.
The Red Zone is a dangerous place. Lunatics live there. Ordinary people struggle there. Rebels try to carve out patches of land there, and sometimes fail, because they die very quickly. Death hurts. Death sucks, some would say. And they'd be right.
But that's the problem with a lawless, uncontrolled, deadly-dangerous frontier like the Red Zone. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
There are, you may have noticed, plenty of military-style encampments available for holing-up in, on the Western side of the map. If there is sufficient demand, I might even be motivated to put the odd rebel shop or garage in some of them. But of course, if I do, then these bases WILL have a roleplay requirement on them. RDM will be a crime there. Large guns WILL be illegal, so the cops might well march in and try to remove them all (but of course, they may end up dead, if the RP goes down that way). But at least those would be 'roleplayed' rebel bases.
The ones you have on the east side Red Zone now, most definitely ARE NOT roleplay-requirement bases. They are intended to sort out the men from the boys; the campers from the RPers, the lunatics from the asylum-runners. They are here - for now - and they may remain, though the size of the Red Zone may change, according to planned events on the server in the future, or the strength of demand for changes, etc.
So please... let's not hear any more 'he camped me' nonsense about the Red Zone. It's what it is *for*.
