It's impossible to tell the difference between a suicide bomber and someone who got a bomb into his inventory via stealing skill. But beside this, it is already the case that a suicide bomber has a much longer respawn timer.Not always the case. Also, the 24 hour flag does not always work. Abdullah bombed twice on the same day. Some others just bring in grenade alts. It's unbearable, and must be dealt with definitely. They shouldn't even be allowed the time to plant stuff: right at city's entrance, they should be checked for explosives and if positive the result they should be jailed/killed. At least in a legitimate RP town, otherwise this stuff will keep happening and RP will lose all its fun.

I was roleplaying the other day in the Maltese Falcon under the name of Mutated Toe when a suicide bomber came in and blew himself up while i was having a drink at the bar. I thought it was hilarious and roleplayed right along with it. You see just before he blew up I had just asked the barkeep to give me a triple shot of his strongest stuff. He had just handed it over when KABOOOM! I was knocked clear across the room from the bar by the blast! As I layed there recovering from the knock down I exclaimed "What a kick!" and got up went back to the bar and told the barkeep "Man that was some powerful stuff you gave me, hand me over another my good man!" lol. it was great! Out of all my roleplaying experience that is surely going to stick out in my memory forever.
Why not just ban the abusers IPs?
Yeah I see your point, you spent a lot more time in there than I did. I only saw it happen once. So I do sympathize. Why not just ban the abusers IPs?
checkpoint idea: single entrance to the Hub, you get checked for illegal armaments and if you've got them, you're either jailed, banned for a day, killed, IP banned, etc.
maybe anyone who dies marked as a criminal in the hub could "wake up"
to find themselves in jail ;D
As much as i love a good whineeee thread i have a couple of suggestions to protect your precious bar
1) Station a few guards inside the bar, these coupld be epic instakill guards as we saw earlier in the beta with all guards
2 ) station two guys outside the doors to the bar and have them search people entering, this feature is avaliable in tla and is used by the vc guards to search for 'contraband'
situation is anyone tries too enter the bar with bomb (big gun, gernades etc) is either not allowed in or killed, people who attempt to run past guards searching as basically insta killed by guards inside etc
your role play rules shouldnt apply to the whole town, theres alot of facalities in the hub being used for a very long time before you guys called the hub home, but your right the bar was dead and you type of people should have a place you can do you thing without being hassled
EDIT: I just remembered what happened after that. Someone came in saying they were Canadian. The barkeep apparently had a bad experience with Cannadians at some point because he all of a sudden ran amok all over the place like a crazy man screaming "CANADIANS!!! AAAAAGHHHHH!!!!" And finally after settling down he said he was quitting as bartender. So I yelled "FREE BOOZE!" and went behind the counter. Then some rough looking characters came up to the bar asking for a drink. So I started serving the drinks. All of a sudden I was bartender, lol. Then a friend came in and found me behind the bar and said "Damn Toe, I thought you were dead!" I was starting to feel the itch for some action again so I took off my apron and said "I quit too!" and my partner and I took off on another hunting trip in the wasteland. Ah... good times... :)
You're gonna love it when it happens over and over until it's no longer funny. Sure, I had a blast with the first guy, going all like "WHO THE HELL GONNA CLEAN THIS MESS NOW? I HATE MY JOB!" But right now it's lost all the fun, when bombers powergame up to you just ruining the whole roleplaying. I'm gonna continue playing, but let's see how it'll go now. If it reaches the point of being unbearable, I don't see the point of trying a RP town then.
Two bombs in 24 hours and you're already crying.Oh, Lena, you're not aware of it ? Atom solved your problem ! (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=708.msg5514#msg5514)
I got killed 3 times for no reason by admin and his friends in one day.
i saw situation when some guy just been killed by admin absolutely with no reason.
so, i undestand now why that much people just destroying this place.
Name all you chars, say what do you want. And give us screens please. Im really interested.Would be a good beginning.
It's pathetic. Yes everything is logged in, even when there's rollback - wow, so if I didn't get killed, because of rollback - the admin is again without guilt.Didn't understand this.
It has just started and the more people will get shot, the more players will be reporting it. Even those who are so much righteouss now, can get killed.Hum... And you are certainly one of "the most righteous" ? Can we see those screenshots again ? Ah... Anyway, I saw only two people reporting supposed abuses in Hub. You - and Atom pointed out it was a bug, but why would you care, he's lying too ! - and AmneziaHaze, that also PM-harrassed me. Two players inventing facts and being totally wrong, even when the whole community is telling them they're wrong. And also two notorious polish board trolls. Now either you make up your mind, either you change your way of speaking here, because your false accusations are not so good.
Also, you speak about "scum gamblers or traders", but in my opinion too they are welcome.
...Since the hub is by description "a hub of scum gamblers and traders" i see no problem with scum coming and causing trouble
You are very wrong Lexx. From what I know, people just started building against the roleplayers because they got killed by the RP - PKs in Hub.This is the most hillarious thing I saw on these forums. Well, except for the "foking cow".
The last time I entered Hub, some gays were blasting people, I was by, took one of the items from the ground - they blasted me and explained to the admin they killed me for "looting". Like Izual would care... he and that other guy ray fyl or something, they kill because he lets them do it.Thats just a lie. I have nothing more to say. Post some screenshots of that sitiuation or stop accusing me.
Btw, look at the post of rejfyl - perfect exaple of trolling, he is doing it all day on polish forums. Admins of course don't care - guess why? (he is a friend of GM, who supports him on the forum by calling people "trolls") I don't see anyone removing his off-topic posts. Why? Hypocrisy.What do you mean by trolling? Im pretty sure you are calling me a troll because, i said same thing about player, who was defending you: AmneziaHaze. He was making flame war in every topic on polish board. It is very easy to check - just look in junk. There are a lot of his post full of insults and flames. Now after he was banned he is still sending me pm full of rage:)
Thats just a lie. I have nothing more to say. Post some screenshots of that sitiuation or stop accusing me.
You kill people in Hub, together in a group of three. Protecting your items when someone gets shot.You are saying it like it was happening all the time. I was shooting at some thief. I though he was a thief cos there was a flag over his head. It was weird but guards started shooting at me after that, and i was killed. Next part of this story, you can find in Deon's post. So it was only one situation, and i was a victim of a bug:)
Hub lawsAlready approved laws, and already disrespected. We must include new laws here, or scrape these two altogether under the grounds of "unable to comply with". We can't count on the goodwill of the entire playerbase, knowing some of the elements that pester it. I suggest adding to that list explosives and grenades, I suggest entrance checkpoints to reinforce such laws, and with the mainpower maintained by the Hub, it sure is realistic.
These laws have been decided by the project leaders. They are additional laws to the normal guarded towns ones (do not steal/attack someone, or block the path). Police officers (players) have to make them effective... And it can be by killing the outlaw, or escorting him to the jail or out of the city.
* No Big Guns/Energy Weapons (Small Energy Weapons are allowed) in your active hand, except for defending yourself. Showing up with a Minigun, a Light Support Weapon or a Laser Rifle is not a good idea this lawful city.
* Selling or speaking of drugs publicly will make the police officers furious. Try to keep words to a whisper when talking about drugs, or you could be sent to the Hub's jail.
I dont understand this whole thread.Im sorry for anyone who suffers with the senseless bombers but RPing in the HUB doesnt make anyone special.If you want special gaurds then they should be in NCR and every other gaurded town.Fonline is very incomplete right now and i dont think it was meant to be played this way.Maybe its time to turn the gaurded towns into truly safe places meant for trade and role play.No more guns and no more bombs.Anyone who is truly intersted in PvP will just go to the northern towns instead of taking advantage of exploits in the gaurded towns.Lets face it folks,gaurds are meant to protect but more often than not they prevent you from killing the ones you know are about to kill you.Outlaw these tactics in all gaurded towns or leave it alone.the HUB isnt special,these issues apply to any "safe" town.As far as all this admin abuse bullshit is concerned,prove it because saying it over and over doesnt make it truth.I dont even understand why Izual even responds to any of it,your the GM so let them talk because you dont have to answer to any of them,and it only provokes them to post more shit.
Until someone records your actions by film, it is most likely the admins here will still play die hard believers, they just can't believe a GM may be doing anything wrong.You may think you are correct.
and it only provokes them to post more shit.
