Enclave Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Talking while in a car to initiate RP is almost impossible, you cannot hear anything people say while they are attempting to talk to you outside their cars, causes a lot of confusion most of the time. Of course if the person you are RPing with is in the car, then you can clearly hear them. But if you're doing a drive by, and "attempting" to yell out your window its almost impossible to hear what they say. Texting while in a car is still RP obviously.

It doesn't happen often, but I have 1400hrs played here and have encountered it a good amount of times (mostly in kavala) Link to comment
Scott Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I've had it happen a few times from people with guns in the back of an offroad. It should be clarified. +1 Enclave likes this Link to comment
Ebola Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 you can hear them clearly if they're in the bed of the offroad I've witnessed many drive-bys in kavala and its loud there 24/7 Link to comment
Buckwalter Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 You know, that's a great point actually. Obviously from a common sense perspective, most people know that this isn't acceptable since most of us know that you can't really communicate in direct when you're in a vehicle, but after looking around, it isn't explicitly stated anywhere. I'll raise that point with the CMs. But in the mean time, everybody should bear in mind that when you initiate with someone, you're responsible for making sure you do so in a way that they're able to understand. So as precautionary measure, never attempt to initiate via direct while you're in a vehicle. Otherwise the other person is likely to have a pretty convincing case for RDM if they decide to report it. So for now, just err on the side of caution. Scott, Enclave and Sneaky like this Link to comment
Sheriff Rick Grimes Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I believe when people are in the back of an offroad, you can hear them clearly. But passenger seat for instance, you can not. All for this for seats where you can't hear them anyways, but don't ruin drive bys! Link to comment

Car to car is very improbable. Link to comment
Jc dock Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I agree but also think that texting to initiate should go with it. Nothing like being in the middle of nowhere just driving around and get a text "get out of the car, hands up or die" with no way of telling where the person is. Link to comment

Well let's be honest, it's highly unlikely that someone could initiate, give adequate response time and then proceed to successfully shoot someone all in one fluid drive-by. I mean, maybe if they were going really slow. But for now, I'd say your better off texting them. Or better still, calling them. Link to comment
JonSnow Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 How about getting rid of texting as a form of RP ? Or maybe when texting someone it has to be you who kills them not your whole gang. Link to comment

I would say yes, but people can ignore your phone call thus making the only way to initiate being text for moving vehicles or helis. Link to comment

Because you are too lazy to do it yourself. IMO asking someone to text for you is failed RP. Texting in general is fail RP really... Link to comment

Understandable, texting for initiation cuts interaction with players in half. And in a RP setting texting is just cutting the corner to RP anyways you can say whatever your little heart desires. But clearly you are not understanding the concept behind it all. Link to comment

If the concept behind texting wasnt to allow players to initiate combat remotely paratus wouldve changed the mechanic a long time ago. Link to comment
