Clear up

I understood it as if a player is taxed no pirate should tax him in the next 2 hours, if its not in this way it would be nice to clear it up.

Guys, i´m with Huor here.

Our book of Rule interpretations is big enough, i never thought about that someone could think about it in this Way Wolvie.

If it would be that a player taxed by the pirate A couldn´t be taxed by pirate B every player would say "Hey i was taxed before by Pirate A" (which is logged out 5 min ago for example). And pirate B, C, D and so on who would login after A was logged out are not able to tax anymore.

ImO taxing and fining are quite the same things. I can fine Smuggler A, B and C (if they ever would pay of course) and the next Officer (from MN for example) could do the same with the same smuggler. So why shouldn´t different pirates be allowed to tax the same Player more than one time. In my first step on CF MP i was hardly taxed by nearly every LP who was jumping in.

And a last thing: Taxing often is for picking a fight so i could pay 1 time when taxed and never have to fight again in the next 2 hours? lol "nice" idea - i bet many of our X or NB "campers" (no offence) wouldn´t like that.

About the "no pirate should tax this player again", well guys, we are on a RP Server - the question is WHY should a pirate not do his job? We are not working with real money here - noone is harmed when paying a small tax. After the no suiciding Rule (btw. i have the feeling that some NPC´s growth up to the hell in strength lately ^^) did any pirate try to tax a small amount of cash instead of "Hey Kermit 6 Mil. or 3 or 2 Tax"? Tax a Million, i bet some would pay instead of fighting when a full load of Ammo is about 800000 (without any repair costs of course) - the highest repair i payed lately was about 2,5 Mil - thanks Doom And with my Ammo it was 3,3 Mil. so others would have this costs too.

Correct me if im wrong but I just understood this from your words:

The new "no suicide while trading rule" has make players to trade less> Players have less cash> Pirates should tax less amount of cash.

If its like that, we hold the weigth of the new rule over our shoulders...great.

My understanding of this rule is that if you pay tax to a freelancer pirate, then he is not allowed to tax you again for 2 hours. If you pay tax to a pirate in a clan, none of that clan may tax you again for 2 hours.

On the rare occasions I do pay tax, I always grab a sceenine of the chat window showing the transfer to the pirate. I make sure I have used the "/time" command just before so the screenie has the time the transfer was made in it. This way I can always prove who has taxed me and when.

true

okay guys .. lets stop here now, or we'll get in trouble again for making the RP issues again ...

make it simple :
pay tax or die .. if you dont want to make RP, say it in system chat, and pirates/cops gonna let you go (i wont let you go, of course )

Sometimes it can be as simple as Inferno said, and it´s working

we dont have such a feature and its unlikely that we will get such a feature

It is very disappointing that people cant follow the rules as they are written and feel a right to interpretations instead. The RP rule clearly says: a player may not be taxed again for 2 hours after the player pays tax.

Imagine if a player could be taxed over and over. How many players would CF lose? Answer: CF would lose many players.

People had better start thinking about not chasing players off of CF instead of their own greedy little RP's.

the rule is pretty clear. wonder why people try to "understand" the rule.

"If a player has been taxed he may not get taxed again within the next 2 hours."

Anyhow I would agree on Kermit & Hour BUT this requires a change in the written rules which is most likely not going to happen until 1.8.

Its always a back and forth.. Some (authorities) say we shall not interpret the rules, some (authorities) are complaining that we "Now actually do take the rules serious". It is about impossible to play active while not breaking one of the lot contradictory rules here.

@Lucy,
too impatient for it :]

Tito
I will do,

you are wrong.

@OP, Why wouldnt you be trying to make that feature, I am pretty sure many of us could beta test it so the testers are there, sure, 1.8 might be released later then scheduled, but think of it, it fixes one part of RP.

What I forgot to say as a paying tax command /paytax which could be checked if there is a tax on that person....

that would be rather me, who would need to add this console command, and i am packed. i do also remember what happened with the last console command for role play: the bounty system...

the only one who can add such a feature is haegar but i wont ask him to do that since he has enough other stuff to do
not to mention that fact that everytime we add new stuff ppl start to abuse or complain about it and im not really up for this
