OOC Name: DJ Brandon
SteamID: STEAM_0:0:22347597
Character Name: T-600.5442
What happened: We were role playing with a group of about five new players, trying to help them out and give them something to do. When out of the blue this patrol of three bots starting to fire at us out of the blue. At first we took it IC and ran from them but when we were able to get away and return we told them what we had been doing and the logs following is what happened. 5442 does mention that I did try to ram them with the car we were in. I did try to ram the bot patrol twice before that which I will take a punishment for if need be.
Unrelated to my own behavior, this attitude that role play should be confined to a base or that we're trying to make some hugbox out of serious role play and catering to new players with a healthy environment is a concerning attitude for a drone to have and, while not a ban, Brandon being stripped of his flags until he can understand why what he thinks isn't how the server works.
Time it happened: A few minutes prior to this.

Tbh for all his shit attitude (which I don't endorse), he has something of a point with some of it.

It'd have been better to get them out of the open into a building even nearby rather than hoping drones ignored you all.

That isn't because I think RP should be in bases but because teaching them a healthy respect of the setting and the Drones is just as important as it is giving them RP full-stop - and part of that is getting into somewhere out-of-view (even if it aint a faction base). The idea that people can stand out in the open and RP consequence-free is going to render the danger of Terminators entirely obsolete.

Or at most it'd have been better to whip the physgun out and explain you had new players rather than take it IC and then get frustrated.

I think there's something to be said for both sides of this, though I feel a lot more sympathy for Benji's side because of the attitude taken. Honestly while this issue needs to be addressed, I don't think any action past talking it over with both parties is necessary, and quiet a few of people's problems could be solved if they just came together and had a civil discussion about things.

inb4 :optimistic:
 
Driving a vehicle in the open should automatically be a dangerous thing to begin with. Discretion and planning should be given when taking out vehicles. If it's true that you guys were engaging the drones from a vehicle, I can understand why the drones involved became irritated; especially if you've used the same vehicle to ram them. Teaching new players shouldn't be an excuse from immunity against drones that spot you out in the open. As mentioned- drones are trying to set the atmosphere, it would be highly beneficial if instead of standing out in the open, or using vehicles, you take the new players to a ruined building, dig in, watch and scout patrols and make RP from that. I've done that before on my TC and never had problems, even had drones ask permission to participate. Now if you guys were in that position, hunkered down, and had every reason to why you wouldn't be spotted, I'd agree about them breaking the rules of engagement, but in this specific scenario, I really can't see it. I think the drones acted accordingly with the Drone ROE. Punishing them wouldn't be very fair, however healthy communication would've prevented all this from occurring. Perhaps addressing that would be a better approach.
 
Don't s2k people who are obviously typing. Don't act invincible just because your character has some rust bucket of a car. Seems like a mutual lack of respect between the parties involved tbh.

Personally I don't think any bans should be handed out for this but if the behavior described above persists there definitely will be.

I don't expect to be ignored, I expect them to role play and not straight up kill multiple people. They can engage us all they like as long as they aren't having a shitty attitude about it and respect the fact we were role playing.

Tbh though you admit yourself you rammed into them twice prior for memes with no RP done. They probably didn't come into it with a good attitude for that very reason (which one of them called you out on).

Two wrongs don't make a right though and I recognize that.

The way you were defending yourselves in that LOOC argument was that the Drones following their ROE was wrong even though you were camped out in the open, simply on the basis you were RPing even though you picked a poor spot to do it in.

It'd be like on HL2 if rebels got mad that cops rolled in on them when they were RPing in plain view on D2 rather than taking the time to step into the basement.
 
hi, just another voice to add here, but:

my game crashed, so i'm running back to where i was roleplaying with my physgun out, his drone walks up and guns me the fuck down for what i can only image was him thinking you're supposed to do that?? tried pming him twice to ask him why and got no response.
 
Hey don't mess with the bull if you're allergic to it's horns. From what I've seen there it's clearly a lack of communication and understanding for both sides, the fault is split equally 50-50. It'd be better to just find common ground and be on with whatever you're planning for the server.

Please to keep in mind that people are bound to get irritated if you mess with them over and over again.
 
rofl i cant go afk on server for half an hour w/out you guys pullin some shit

No action is going to be taken here, you were both being idiots. Keep in mind that we're here to write stories together and have a good time, there's no reason to be arguing over this kind of shit. Don't RDM players that are rping, S2RP them for all I care. Don't abuse the fact cars don't take damage to kill drones over and over. In short, have a nice day.

Locked.
