GR's info bulletin

I decided to create this thread to offer you my ideas how can GR support RP.

Police RP support: for each reported successful operation against "experienced" criminal (except those in X-3043 system) you can ask for bonus 1-5M.
Pirates RP support: for each reported successful operation against "experienced" target (except those in X-3043 system) you can ask for bonus 1-5M.

how to do this report will be decided when will be gathered real experience (is possible ask directly in space or use PM). In cases you will saw me in space, I can give you special offer.

... I want to remind all pilots that you can do very good police or pirate career also with minimal or inexistant PvP skills. You ofc will need very good knowledge about crossfire space and clever mind. When you need deal with tough opponent you have wide spectrum of possibilities how to evade such attacks or ask for help. This offer purpose is to help with raise police/pirate role-play across whole Crossfire universe. If you want help with this or offer support ideas you are welcome.

Note: I will not tolerate flame here or offtopic. If you think you can offer good idea or if you have thoughtful reminder please do post. Otherwise forget about click on send button and try to read things more times and thought how you yourself can help raising fun for others in space.

I do not expect most veterans behavior will change. This offer is for new players and RP experienced ppl who migh decide to give a try for something else as PvP fests in X-3043. I see every my playing evening in space new players and I want and will support all those who will want to learn and gain new experience. I do not have magic globe to see how this will work, but imo is better to try something as stay aside

Above this in cases when you will hunt someone (no matter if merc, police or pirates business) and he will hide in a system and will not communicate, will use suicide (NPCs included) or will not communicate and left space: If you will report this, I will support your effort with 3-5M and if will be enough evidence I will fine chased player with the same amount. ... I'm sure that will be complains about this, but imo this is necessary step to wipe away from CF some practices which I noticed during my time in space.

Another things are ASF/CSF licenses. If you will ask me about them, I will assure you will have them as soon as possible.

Bounty and ARENA* (*or another OORP system):

When you have bounty on your head, and you will enter Arena*, you will be FINED (avoiding RP). Can be some circumstances when this can be tolerated or you can be warned first, all cases will be evaluated separately. (priority is not punish ppl, but learn ppl to avoid this situation) (And please ... do not try use "Another player need first want RP with me" ... I'm sure you know very good as I that this is only excuse (especially for experienced players))
When you are in Arena* and someone place on you bounty, you should leave Arena as soon as possible. Not doing so will lead to FINE as described above.
When will be held Event (official) and you cannot use another character (and will lose bounty during this event) .. new bounty (the same price) will be placed on you (or yours another char in some cases).

Arena, Cube Arena & Coloseum
These are event systems and are not part of the role-playing universe. Players can use these systems for training, testing ship configurations and taking part in events. Players should not use these systems to avoid RP or protect stores ships. Players within these systems (eligible to RP) must leave if another player wishes to RP with them. The player must exit in a timely fashion though not necessarily through the nearest exit.

Player can do what he want (under rules) if he don't have bounty on his head. If he have it, he can´t hide in OORP system like Arena is. .. and this is easy to prove.

Quote from Bond

Usually i leave the Arena when i have bounty on my back ...

and this is imo exactly how things should be

... btw WB

Situation1: Player should avoid entering Arena when have bounty on his head (this is imo the best solution to this). But if you are in and event not started yet, you should leave system as requested.

Situation2:

Quote

During Events
Various events are run on the server. While taking part in an event, role-playing rules are suspended.

I think this not need more explanations.

Situation3: And this happen when is ignored answer 1. Player who get bounty not need return it bcs it is not his fault. Player who had the bounty now have few options:
... replace the same bounty on himself (second best solution, no one other need to be involved and its player own fault he come with bounty for event ... it can be also event out of arena like Smuggler hunt or big race)
... EM or GR can replace bounty on player. However this is only additional work for them and imo completely unnecessary. Rules for this do not exist, but for GR it can fall under category "help raise RP" so imo GR should replace bounty on you (and he can also fine you for same amount). You can complain about this, but again imo it is in 1st place your fault that this situation happen.

Two things:

Suiciding: players who will kill each other to be able "rebuy" ammo will be FINED. Last cases solved peacefully by theirs donation to EM. I know exactly why this happen, but guys please try think little in RP ... you will not kill your mate only bcs you want restore ammo (your opponent can do this himself )

Accusations: imo can be acceptable if you told someone that he not play under book in private channel or in system chat using a polite way. There do not exist a way to force someone to play "fair" if he rly do not want. Using rly big hammer will result only in losing player .. and now please all listen: We NEED players who want participate in RP. If will be noticed mistakes (no matter which kind), then you can try politely explain this yourself, or you can forward it to GR so he can try his luck (or he can ask for help ppl using proper language to explain some rules to ppl who are not native English speakers). Worst thing you can do is fight with words by yourself .... this do not have a chance to work succesfully. Last case is also asked for donation to EM ...

Yesterday late evening was launched small RP event containing police VIP transport in Luxury Liner with escort from Omega-3 to New York. Thx for ppl who decided to participate and I hope next time we can have even more fun.

Today is here something about play OORP (out of role play):

Yesterday I saw two players attacking others out of role play and without RP licenses others. Was no reactions when they were few times asked from GR tagged char to stop (in system and also private channel) and no reactions when was first fined for small money amount. Result: both players were bankrupted. One started communicate (his English was only basic, but he tried it and was enough for understanding) and to him was returned majority of his moneys.

It is no excuse that you do not know server rules because you do not know English. Players have many options what to do, here on portal are rules translated to more languages and you can always ask your friend(s) who are able to use English. Part of GR job is assure that server rules are obeyed and RP (role-play) is going on. Role play is not when someone like berserk shot everyone around him ... Basic participation in CF RP is most easiest thing and you need spent max 10 min of your time with reading server rules.

Yes, its true ... but this was not the case I mentioned in my previous post.
