Thank you for your report.
Jungle Difference & Mad Yoke - 2.2 - RDM
As rebel gang, initiations must be made for 'friends in the area', if this is not made then any group that joins a gunfight without initiation or high quality role-play is committing RDM.
Under current rules and practices, only white-listed factions are able to join a gunfight if hostilities are witnessed. Regardless of any 'uniform', rebel gangs do not have the ability to group initiate in this way. It is reasonable to expect and assume that all members involved in this report know this.
Whilst both of these involved have bans for RDM in the past, any documented history was at least 6 months ago. In recognition of such they will both be receiving a final warning rather than a ban. Step up and play by the rules or else you will be banned.
Now, its this part i have an issue with:
"Under current rules and practices, only white-listed factions are able to join a gunfight if hostilities are witnessed. Regardless of any 'uniform', rebel gangs do not have the ability to group initiate in this way. It is reasonable to expect and assume that all members involved in this report know this."
My question to staff is, where? or is this another one of those "you just should know" kinda rules? -
Your telling me that if we witness our friend get shot in the face, however they never said the script "I have friends in the area" that this means we are not suppose to care about that persons life?
Then in the same situation, poseidon would be within there right to turn around and shoot a rebel and say "sorry i deemed you involved".
Same situation, if a cop/poseidon sees another cop/poseidon get knocked out they can insta shoot? Why?
Why cant rebels, this makes no sense. At the end of the day its the exact same thing. If they are executing someone/shooting someone they need to be considerate of there actions and think "ooh maybe they do have friends there, lets wait a bit" without just executing someone. Obviously its best if you have time to say "i have friends, or in the course of roleplay make it clear there is more than just 1 however this is not always possible in the heat of the moment for for a possible ban for RDM i think this needs addressing.
I believe that you should either:
- Actually make this a rule, because its not there at the minute and people got a warning for a rule thats not there
- Make it fair for all sides. No reason why rebels cannot do it
The only reason why i think you could be against this would be because if someone is shot or executed then police/poseidon would have to deem every rebel around has "hostile".. which could get messy because they are not wearing uniform. However, its surely there decision and there risk to take. If they want to shoot or execute someone then they should not be immune from hostile action because someone never said "i have friends in the area".
Unless i have missed an important part out i cannot understand why this is not currently within the rules, or why it could not be fair for all.
Could anyone shed a little more light on this please?
