Revised Robbery and Scamming rules.

[Bauer]

im confused. am i allowed to forcefully steal someone's car keys and then use the shared key to empty their trunk?

Good question. I've talked to Earl, and decided to add this to the rule:

"You can only steal car keys if the car is near / has just been used."

Then you can do anything you want with the car, and like you said, steal from it's trunk.

What do you mean by "if the car is near"? Does this allow me to rob keys off of someone who just pulled up in his vehicle? If so then it is a good addition as the opportunity cost of carrying illegal stuff in your car increases significantly.

Yes, it means exactly that.

very good, all rules need to be clearly defined like this and not subjective

Hello RC-RP,

I've been listening to feedback from the community and attempted to re-make the rules for robbing and scamming with the rest of the admin team. The main issue players seem to have was the lack of freedom and restrictions they were given by the old rules. We ourselves have noticed that too many rules were made, and Roleplay scenarios that were never restricted before, suddenly became restricted. People started hiding behind those rules, and created annoying situations for both admins and players.

People will be given more freedom now, but that also means players will lose some OOC protection. Driving around in a Sultan filled with drugs and full-automatic weapons will no longer be protected by OOC rules. There are of course still some restrictions that try to make it fair for everyone.

The current rules can be seen here: viewtopic.php?f=10&p=1655183#p1655183

In the following weeks we will be looking at how everything plays out and if the community has any feedback on these rules. The best advice we would like to give everyone: Play it smart.

Here's a short changelog of stuff that has been done:

• Revised the look of the entire topic to try and make it easier to read.
• Edited every tab to make sure certain rules are in their corresponding tab. For example there were general rules about scamming sitting in the money tab. And trunk robberies were sitting in the House burglaries tab.
• Added a legend with more clear uses of terms and used those terms in the entire topic.
• Cleared up a lot of unnecessary text and changed those rules into clear list items.
• Removed unnecessary or doubly rules. For example it is obvious you cannot rob a SPAS 12 because that weapon is SP/Aperture only. Or rules that are already restricted by the script.
• Edited/added rules which were recently discussed about stealing stuff from vehicle trunks etc.
• Added a part about confiscations.
• Removed the mentioning of materials.
• Removed some unnecessary rules for House/Business Burglaries.
• Edited some small stuff to try and make it a bit tighter so people wont try and argue about small gray areas.

Any feedback can also be posted here.

People will be given more freedom now, but that also means players will lose some OOC protection. Driving around in a Sultan filled with drugs and full-automatic weapons will no longer be protected by OOC rules. There are of course still some restrictions that try to make it fair for everyone.

So Bauer does that mean you can rob sultans that have alot of illigeal stuff in them?

Yes I did.

• Items from trunks may be stolen by anyone as long as the trunk is unlocked.
• Items from trunks may be robbed from the owner only when the owner is or recently was inside the vehicle, or when you have robbed their keys. Refer to robbery requirements first.

Did you read this part?

In the interest of fairness it is not allowed to commit a robbery while there's no SP members online (can be checked via /factiononline).

This may be an issue as /factiononline simply shows the online members of the faction, you could have 6 SP members online, but still neither of them may be on-duty, which would be the same as not having any SP on. Maybe suggest editing the /factiononline to only count(For legal factions) on-duty officials, and leave out off-duty members.
