Ebola Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Scenario: A helicopter is in a city (landed; Unoccupied) and I ram it with my Offroad. Nobody dies, is this VDM or is it just being a dick? My theory is if nobody dies it is not considered VDM because there was NO DEATH. Link to comment

Gray area 10 minute example. You and your gang get in a fight with the cops. You get downed and restrained pretty quickly into the fight. Does your ten minute timer start then? No. Your timer would not start until the cops had the ability to remove you from the fight scene.So the gray area for this (and why it's hard to determine/ban for and why we require a lengthy video) is well what determines being removed from the scene of the action? As soon as you got put in a car? As soon as they started driving away with you? What happens if a minute later some of your gang members ambush the cops escorting you away. Would that reset the timer? What about if when you are being processed at HQ your gang attacks and gets in a fight with the cops at the HQ. Would that negate your timer? As you can see there are a lot of factors that need to be taken into consideration. Let me explain it like this. The whole reason for the 10 minute timer thing was originally put in place for two reasons. 1. Civs who were in police custody for ridiculous periods of time. Whether it was because you were restrained and left where you were or you were forgotten about for extended periods of time. As you were stuck in permanent restraints. It was not meant to be an excuse to log out after 10 minutes because you were salty that the cops got you or you didn't like the way they got you. 2. Civs or cops who were restrained and being abused by other civs for ridiculous periods of time. There were issues with people being restrained against their will for over an hour and people being downed, over and over again for long periods of time. This 10 minute rule was put in place to help alleviate this issue. It was not meant for civs or cops to declare "you have 10 minutes" immediately after getting downed and restrained by civs and then going AFK for those 10 minutes. Hope this helps.

And these rules goes for the civ restraints also right? I mean like instead of cop it's a bounty hunter taking his time and using me as bait to get the rest of my gang members as they try and Rescue Me. After my friends are restrained and they start taking us to skip tracer it fell over the 10 min mark. Link to comment

That's a obvious no as the restraints will break after 10 minutes and they would no longer be restrained/need to disconnect to free themselves. If you're asking whether you can disconnect, judging by Vols comments its a no as he said its only acceptable during times of abuse, its hardly abuse for them to restrain you, deal with your gang, and then take you to jail.

bigjohn561 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just now, Gnashes said: You being restrained for longer than 10 minutes because your friends are trying to save you is not grounds to disconnect; even if you are downed and re-restrained. 1o minutes essentially starts from the end of whatever engagement is taking place. If you DCing prevents them from being able to arrest you within 10 minutes of defeating your friends who tried and failed to save you, it's safe to say your disconnecting is against what we want the server to be.

Mason Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) If I see a landed helicopter, can I drive into it and blow it up? I would think that if nobody dies it is not VDM.

Question 1 IF ANY loss (life or monetary) is in direct result of any accident you can be banned for VDM. Also with the physics of the Arma engine it is damn near impossible to guarantee no one would die. Question 2 Again, if ANY loss is the direct result of any accident, you can be banned for VDM. Doing exactly what you asked is using your vehicle as an offensive weapon. You are attempting to disable a vehicle by hitting it, thus, being offensive weapon. Also, how many times have you seen a car flipping through the air as a direct result of a low speed collision? NOT recommended. BlackShot, Philv2.0 and Reformed Katheeri like this Link to comment

Enough time passes by that the players names are no longer red to me. Are those said players then allowed to execute me without any further RP? Edit: I was not killed at Skiptracer/an illegal zone to my knowledge. They should give you a RP reason to kill you. Thats the polite thing to do to further RP situations on the server. However, once you are restrained you are at the mercy of your captors. You should RP for your digital life. Maaqs and Google™ like this Link to comment

If so that contradicts the new RP ruling as you comply they have to give you another RP reason as to why they are going to kill you. If they tell you hands up or die, and you put your hands up they need to have an RP reason right then to shoot you in the face yes. But once restrained you are their captive. They can throw you in a fire and sacrifice you to the fire god of Kavala, put you in a car with the windows up on a hot day, etc. You should always give RP though. Thats what makes the server fun.

Assuming no texts have been sent and both parties haven't spoken. 2.If I see a crime being committed, am I aloud to intervene? example: Player 1 tells player 2 to put their hands up in a normal robbery situation. Player 2 complies. Player 3 is not grouped with player 2 or player 1. Can player 3 shoot or down player 1 in an attempt to "save" player 2, assuming they heard the conversation initiating player 1 and 2? Or would player 3 need to still speak to player 1 before engaging? 1.- You will be able engaged with them but them not with you. This means that if your tires get shot, they will turn red fur you, thus making you able to kill them with out saying anything. If they want to kill you as soon as you hop out of the car they need to initiate (text/voice) with you. Keep in mind that at the moment you shoot back to them, both of you are engaged. 2.- You will need to initiate with player 1. If you plan on shooting someone ALWAYS initiate first, unless you are in a Red/Ilegal Zone. Link to comment

Or similarly, is saying you're going to sacrifice someone to the concrete jungle gods or anything like that, make you able to kill someone in restraints. In general, can you kill someone you put in restraints without having to engage at all in rp. When you put people in restraints, they are your hostage and you can kill them anytime you want. When people have their hands up, you need to give a reason or RP with them to be able to kill them. So, them giving a reason like "I need to sacrifice you to the concrete jungle gods so that Altis can live on" is a good enough reason to kill them. You can even say things like "I have been killing people with a green shirt on, you have a green shirt so I am killing you". Edited July 10, 2017 by Reapered BlackShot likes this Link to comment
