Question about if this bounty hunter option is against the rules

[To Mato]

Sometimes I get the option to restrain my bounty without him putting his hands up. Is this a bug or intended? Is it against the rules to do this?

[Hiraku]

Its intended. You "Tackle" them. Its also allowed and dosent require initiation afaik

[Mr Smirnoff]

its lame but intended for now.

[Satan]

It took me by surprise when I encountered it first, but yeah it's intentional.

[Barry Smith]

This makes bounty hunters a tiny bit more useful, then they were before.

[To Mato]

Good to know it's intentional.

I did it to someone and he went off about how it was against the rules so I wanted to know for sure before I did it again.

Thanks for the information guys!

I recommend against restraining without RP...even if allowed, it's not nice...

I always come up to my bounty like "Hey, hey dude....you into bondage? .... WELL I AM, CMHERE BOY!!!"

[Dredge]

Yea. Please RP it. I have lost count of how many BH'ers that just run up and say "freeze" while they are shooting. I wouldnt mind being "tackled" if there was some RP behind it.

I think this is a crummy mechanic. ...being totally taken by surpise is essentially against the 'RP' everyone desires to fulfill rules.

Walking up to your Bounty without so much as a hi and then slapping the cuffs on.. You better believe there are people out there who'd rdm you if they saw that

Proposed Rule: silently restraining someone initiates everyone within 50m

[Miss Evo]

I just use this to blindfold them and let them go, it's great in agiaa=

[blinky]

if bounty hunters can just walk up and restrain bounties without any type of initiation, then we should be able to blast anyone with a bounty hunter badge if they come closer than 5m with no initiation to counter/balance that stupid implementation.

EDIT: What lame brained justification was used to implement this feature? Doesn't this go against what the server stands for? RP? Isn't that one of the reasons RDM is not allowed? Players must be given a chance? In that case i suggest Bounty badges that can not be hidden, and KOS any BH within 5m.

All these rules lately, stipulations, grey areas. Christ.

Months ago, I had a report video of a guy vdming, I restrained him like this and was told I should have RP before doing it by the person who reviewed the footage (since the guy had run me over he said it was passable, but in the future doing anything that took control of the other person like that needed to be RPed). Just a heads up.
