I couldn't agree more! However, the rebel roleplay consists of giving short-hand warnings to police to get down or get shot, sometimes they only tell them to get down, then they open fire, as a few members of your gang did a while a go, prompting me and Shepred to speak to one of your gang members that had entered our HQ.
To be honest with you all, it feels as if the RP on the server is dying out, with officers intent on sending as many players as possible to jail and rebels doing anything they can to get an excuse to shoot police officers. Just look at the bank rules! Wilco has said that there are no rules on VDM during bank robberies, and doesn't exactly help the RP at the bank now, does it? Having been in the police force for over three months, I have yet to see ONE bank robbery containing any RP between the robbers and the police, as both parties are too trigger-happy and too eager to rush in and kill/arrest.
I think SOMETHING should be done to keep this server a fun place to RP. Yes, rebels should be able to rob police officers and get away, just like cops should be able to make arrests of rebels without getting ambushed on the way back to HQ by the friends of the rebel getting arrested as they ignored the fact that they were restrained and spoke to their friends on TeamSpeak anyway, but it seems like these types of RP are played out too much.
And what about the MRAPs? The Ifrit for example, is just a trollmobile being used to drive around to cause trouble in towns by honking its horn and popping smoke, and the Hunter is just there to counter it, essentially making it a bad circle of trouble.
I relly hope the admins will take note of this, and change the server rules and restrictions around for the improvement of RP conditions, as both rebels and police officers seem to believe they can have free rein.
I also hope that players will be a lot more more creative in their roleplay, with police officers not making it as straight-forward as "Criminal Activity = Tickets/Jail", and rebels not always having to end things with a gun fight, but instead trying to roleplay their way out of what they've done.
