Happy Birthday to the least bitchiest person on SWAT!

Congrats man! Don't get to fat THAT quickly over here

R.I.P. Angmar Witch-King
It is hard to lose someone who is close to us, especially a family member. I will be praying for the family.

I don't have mush time to get on the server right now, but if you guys organize it, I am more than willing to hop on my EM char to finance it and put it on.

im just brainstorming now: but is it possible to set time limitations on system, lets say arena is opened from 19gmt-22gmt and after "closing" everyone will be send automatically to planet x when they undock from planet issos (here i thought about the "houston"bug some ppl might know)

I don't think that would work, because we have people from many timezones here, and it might be perfect for one, and the middle of work/night for another. I think that GRs should be able to teleport people

The players in the arena are not noobs, they are vets. And thanks for mentionining money because thats another sore spot for me. Those who use the banking system to hide their money to avoid rp or to avoid paying fines / taxes. I can't tell you how many times I have watched a pirate tax someone, who we know has hundreds of millions of credits in the bank, to say: ' You can only fine me 1 mil, since I am only level 54", as an example.

Well it's easy to say, if people want to hide in the arena and not get out there to rp, then we can pack it up and go elsewhere.

I never said that they are noobs...
Anyways I agree with you on the money thing completely. Your level should reflect what you have in the bank too.

I am not saying what they are doing is good for the server, but unless OP or a GR intervenes there isn't really much that can be done.

This is just my opinion, so don't get butthurt.

I am sick and tired of the same players sitting in the arena 24/7 and do nothing but PVP. Most are FL pirates. Their normal activity is to sit in the arena, do pvp and no rp. Unless there are at least 3 cops in X3043, then they will all either invade Tarsus, Custodian or X . Usually it'sX3043 where they dock at the planet and attack the police....thats it. They don't trade, they don't go to other systems to engage pilots in taxing or any sort of roleplay at all.

You people want to know why CF is boring? Because of people like this.

If the Arena can't be closed OR they refuse to leave the Arena and do their RP, then the Arena will become a war-zone and I will lead it. I have plenty of pilots who are willing to do the same as they are sick of this too.

If they have the money to stay in the Arena and PvP all day, that is totally up to them. They will come out to get money some time... Unless they are negatively affecting RP, it doesn't seem like a problem to me. I don't see how it could negatively affect RP. It is one thing to run and hide to Arena to escape RP, it is another entirely to just sit there and PvP.

Quote from Drale

Yeah, that's totally true... CF is becoming PVP server, nothing more...

The server is what the players make of it. The only thing that can change that is OP coming in and changing it forcefully (which I couldn't see him doing).

After talking to some other people, this thread has been cleaned of all off topic posts. Lets keep it that way this time.

Just FYI, I will be going through and deleting clan channels which are never in use. If you still wish to have a channel, please shoot me a PM.If you don't have clan, but believe you have good reason to have a channel, then PM me and convince me

Toast17, Arrow, Griffin, Psyclone, and AbrasDevil currently have admin rights on the CF TS Server

Well, on Disco what you can and can't do is based on your faction more than anything, but here everything is open to all players (if you have your rep right), and locking down a clan station would severely cut competition because all the clans that have a good ship in their stations would lock it down and not let anyone use it, giving them an unfair advantage.

I meant it automatically deducts it if the person getting fined/taxed clicks yes, if not it turns to a fight :p

I should probably make a thread about that...

Anyways, I still like all of them, except the trade calc. Takes the work out of it :p

- tax / fine user command for pirates and coppers
- in game award system
- trade calculator
- online asf/csf score table

I think the fine/tax would be a good idea, but only if it was done right. I would do it like they can set the player and amount, and it is either accepted or denied by the target player, and the amount is automatically deducted if accepted.

I like the awards system system, because it would be a good way for people to show off their accomplishments(and maybe get awards/items for certain awards/multiples of awards?)

Please explain what you mean by trade calculator, I am not exactly sure what you mean.

The ASF/CSF would be a good thing, mainly for bragging rights in my opinion :p

Blanket Warning: Keep it on topic, this is the only warning I will give. Keep the criticizing to a maximum of... none.

Cygna Takes a real man to apologize.

After consideration and discussion with other mods, topic is reopened.

PX got banned, Shockforce got unbanned, Devil and Michael bitched at each other, me and Gunny went at it again.... Same ol same ol

There is no longer such a thing as a private bounty, in whatever name you put it. To many mercs would attack people and just say it was a private bounty, but there is really no way to confirm it. They either have to be through the bounty system, or posted openly here on the forum.

Well, I am back and my EM char is still alive and kicking. Should be back doing that soon.

Quote from Gunny

Michael, it's time for you to put-up or shut-up with AD in a fight or series of fights, either is fine, but it's time to be done with it. A CFPD officer running? Seriously? Meanwhile the remainder of CFPD is in heavy fighting everyday with the Pirates and a couple of Mercs.

Finally something we agree on :p

Quote from Gunny

CFPD invoked a policy of maintaining our RP and not mixing up with other RP's in order to maintain the seperation between all 4 and it has been successful so far. (IOC) lost a great smuggler ( Rex) who was arrested twice in the same week for smuggling and 13th Armored hunted bounties without showing favoritism ( not to mention doing it honorably ), and again so far, all a great success.

I saw that and I was a little leary at first, but it seems to have worked out well.

Quote from Gunny

Edit: Not being able to reply or add to reports in the RP sections is not making things any easier, not to mention having to wait until a mod decides to "approve" a post. I and others , have not bothered posting reports for these very reasons, but instead we have to use other means of getting our information out and we're not doing it in game or in this forum. The idea of not permitting replies ( within rp context ) only slows RP and contrary to belief, it does not force people to get in game.

I don't know why it would be an issue. Most everything is approved. The only reason one would not be allowed is if it was breaking rules for that board.
