Right this is more of a calm rant than anything but, Tonight i thought i would log in and have a nice relaxing role play session. But no! Hostage ops, Its getting ridiculous,. Four in the past hour on server two and in what realistic world does a cop get taking hostage four times an hour? I remember why they were removed! they get abused! I don't mind if they are creative maybe ask for a prisoner transport full of berets ect. Not 1Million for a PC i don't see why everybody is so obsessed with money! Remeber this server is about RP not about fecking money! So Please i beg can you calm it down and not abuse taking a cop hostage to get money. I beg xoxoxo

Ill bet that there are more then 4 cops hostage IRL as we speak :p

I do see the problem of this happening on a small island like Altis. But what can I say? Altis is a dangerous place.

If you don't want to get kidnapped then don't arrest people. I have learned this the hard way, been kidnapped trice now and I enjoyed everyone of them.

Police should just patrol with more at the same timeand rebels should just fight their own wars :p

I can see this is a problem if it is the same gang doing it all the time. But its kind of hard for everyone to coordinate this. So if 4 cops are taken hostage and its 4 different gangs doing it. Then there is not much that can be done. 

 
This has been a problem, it's one of the reasons I've haven't played that much this week. Can't even do a traffic stop or help someone in Kavala without getting taken hostage lately.

@puppy1004 We are here to have fun to. And not respond to a hostage op with the same boring "Give me a million or we will kill him" And also their is a big difference between a "Small island" and the World...

I bet there have been more than four rebels in jail at once, what's the difference!? We can pay bail to be released which in essence is the same as cops paying a ransom. We are removed from our friends and loved ones while we re in the pen, which is the same as being in a small room with four guns pointed at you with no coms. You stop and we will follow suit

 
There's a slight problem there buddy..

We're only allowed to request money, It's against the rules for us to ask anything other than that.

As of Saturday 28/02/2015, the temporary 'Police Hostage' rule is being revoked. Once again, members of the police force above the rank of PCSO are free game for Hostage/Kidnap RP. 
 
This was introduced about 6 weeks ago in order to give the police some breathing room at a time when they were under a lot of pressure as a unit, and as players, and I would like to thank the community for going along with what had to be done.
 
I'm happy to say that things have changed since then, with the force really getting back on track with the introduction of new features, roles, abilities, and numbers.
 
Now, before you all go out looking for Maratek, I would like to remind you to please be responsible when getting your toys back. This is AltisLifeUK, and we should be proud when we say we Roleplay Everything. 
 
I love that this has finally been given back to you, I've certainly had a lot of feedback for it, but I implore - be reasonable in the frequency of these situations. Hostage situations all too often are very one sided, and I agree that is kinda the point. But it's a game,  so I beg of you, do your best to keep your hostage engaged, and feel part of the fun that you have when taking them.
 
The only change worth noting with this reintroduction is what you can expect to recieve for your hostage. No longer will the police be exchanging items, be it spike strips, berets, SOS scopes, hunters or other such objects. So be aware when taking a hostage, you will only be trading their life for cash. Sensible rebels will keep an eye on how much they stand to gain, verses how much gear they stand to lose should things turn sour.
 
So, as usual, I'm listening to all comments and feelings below, so long as you keep them clean and constructive.

I would so much prefer crumpets to money. but we cant do that :(

 
It might be prudent to have a 'cooldown' period applied to the gangs after they have taken a police officer hostage. As much as it is fun to take officer hostage for our own RP situations, it takes an awful lot away from the rest of the island RP wise too as a lot of the police are then recalled to the situation. I've had it a quite few times where I've been having a nice RP session with some police when they've had to literally just leave to go and deal with 'another' hostage situation.

I think in this case the lesser the frequency of the hostage taking, the more beneficial it is to everyone. The general populous get to see more of the police in their daily tasks and situations and the hostage takers get a better and fuller RP situation as the police would clearly be more responsive and less fed up that it's happening again.

oh look the tables have turned lets run to the forums  and ask the rebles to stop like puppy said get  the cops to back off and stop powergaming and maybe the rebles will back off a bit

maybe if the cops RPed it and tried to get the amount down rebels may back off but every time i have been involved in a hostage op the cops roll up say no and start shooting. even when the asking amount is lower than the limit.

so al i can say is pay up.

 
@MadGeordieX Nice mature.....

Know i am not here for an argument neither drama, So why try and cause it? its an adult community that is why i asked polity not like a child. Know if you got a complaint about police here is the thread to complain, And not on mine.

@TI Ben

I just realised that D: But i think that rule was placed to stop rebels asking for Armed responses equipment. I personally believe that it should be looked at but we will have to see!

 
I think we need to start hiring PMCs to keep overwatch on us at all times. c:

WE HAVE THE TEC--- MONEY!!
