Admins took Rand's AK74 for a bad reason.

[Urban]

So I was playing as my Character, Rand Clark,(Texas). I was RP'ing all day in the canals. Around 6:00 I'd say, My Uncle, who lives with me Said the Air Conditioner guy was coming over. Later, the Canals serve crashed, and everyone wasn't really IC once we rejoined, including me. So my Uncle Calls me and says the dude's here, and I say I'll be there in a second. The Combine become IC and start shooting at us, so I go into Station 1, and pull my Physgun, because I didn't want to leave, because people'd think I'm D/C'ing to avoid RP. So eventually several VICE units are surrounding my AFK char when I came back to tell them I had to leave the Computer. I had no idea how long it was gonna be, so I told the VICE units that the AC guy was over, and I was showing him the vents, and the problems and such.

I come back after the AC guy left, and my AK is gone, and I'm in the city. I'd really like Rand's AK back, as it took a lot of work to get it, and I feel there was no reason other than maybe a Misunderstanding for taking it.

Its a script, you can RP having an AK. You only need the script for S2K.

I doubt people will take you serious if you walk up to them pretending to have an AK.

 

[Duaine The Rock]

Well of course, but if they don't that's their problem.
If you RP well i'm sure the opposite party would allow you to have a pistol.
RPing is about two sides working together to write a story.

Because Rebels never get into S2K.

u weren't afk until things escalated, so i evented the units just chucking ur char's knocked out body into the canals after taking away the ak.

If that were the case we wouldn't need SWEPs at all. While no doubt some people would think that'd be a great thing, it's not the case so I don't think it's fair to apply that logic solely to this guy.

Either way it'd be best to hear from the admin that removed your gun first.

As much as I agree with you on this part, I have yet to see any solid examples of it on the server.

It's a damn shame really.

I believe I said that. It was shitty timing, but what were my other options? Tell the Air Conditioner guy he had to wait because I was RP'ing ? D/C and likely get banned because people'd get the wrong impression? Or maybe not pull my Physgun and just sit there AFK and get PK'd by the CP's.

I'm telling the truth. It was a shit situation, and I wouldn't have left had my Uncle not been in my room telling me I had to come at that moment, so I ducked into station 1, and went AFK.

Well of course its true you need some form of regulation of weaponry of who can and can't have seeing as there is a mix of newer and older members within TnB.
I understand the necessity for SWEPs its just my point is I've been able to RP having guns before without having the SWEP.
RP is about the consent of both parties to work towards a better story, but that just my point of view.

Yes, that's very SWEPs come in. If you suit yourself around good roleplayers you practically don't need them.

 

[Fuppy]

it reeks of a makeshift story to save your character's hide in a moment unfit for their continuous life or equipment's safety.

the timing reported to be poor simply feels like an uncanny method to get out of a risky situation, this was simply the route that would've happened regardless of if you went afk or not.

Saying we can just RP guns is like saying we can just RP credits.

 

[Deadmon]

if someone is trusted enough to be able rp a gun why cant they be trusted enough to have the item?

I can see your side of the issue, but I still stick with my story. Sometimes timing is shitty, and now that I think about it you had a good reason to be suspicious. However, I'm still asking you to please consider my side of the story. I'm not one to Make up crap to get out of RP, I've already lost Guns in muggings where I could have made something up to get out of it, but I handed it over. I simply feel this is unjust considering how I know the truth. It took some work for Rand to get that Gun, and I'd like it back because it was simply taken OOCly.

 

[Duaine The Rock]

Well technically you can RP having plenty of credits. There is just a script function there to prevent the less experience and those prone to abusing to limit themselves.
If TnB consisted of 5 people SWEPs would be unnecessary. Its in due to the large amount of people and inabillity to tell if you've not acquired them properly ICLY.

 

[Urban]

Can we keep the thread clean? This is about Rand's gun being Taken OOCly, not if SWEPs should exist. Thanks :)

 

[Fuppy]

If we went back to roleplay the scenario again it'd have the same exact ending, if not even more gruesome if GHOST took an interest.

I'm not so sure. ICly I wouldn't have just sat in the Station.

I just feel like you're putting me in a position that's "Fake" or "Plastic", shall we say?

Rand can very well buy another Gun, it just feels stupid that due to a Real life situation I had no control over, my main RP character has to be majorly inconvenienced, and set back. And What difference would it make to you? If anything, it hurts the RP of my character due to a completely OOC event.

In the End, I wish I didn't have to go AFK, I was nervous as it is, and I really wanted to get back as soon as possible. But, I guess you think I'm lying or something.

There's already enough asspulling as-is.
