Admins took Rand's AK74 for a bad reason.

[LittleB]

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

 

[Angry Neurotic Catholics]

but if we allow his reason to slide, then anyone else can come up with a reason just as solid on the fly, and they have to be let go as well.

 

[toastmatic]

so he and his character should have been able to avoid all in character consequences by going AFK?

by golly, next time i get in trouble on the server, i think ill just pull out my physgun and alt tab! then everything will be just fine and dandy!

youre operating under the carcinogenic roleplay methodology in which the ends of a scenario are more important than the ROLEPLAY that gets you there

who the fuck cares if he was afk in a raid

ignore him

if someone does it consistently take OOC measures against them; ic punishment for something as innocuous as going afk once at the wrong time is metagaming and antagonistic to the very basis of what it means to play a role.

"b-but how am i supposed to get my dick hard by exerting my meger imaginary power over someone else in order to make them suffer like the fucking schadenfreudian autist i am??"

suck it up buttercup

 

[Angry Neurotic Catholics]

so essentially we should roleplay it again, so we can take his script with the proper roleplay?

 

[Fuppy]

i apologize for letting people godmode themselves upon the units with the simple pull of a physgun when their character is nigh close to an end due to just previously being involved with a group firing at a cp outpost without reason.

clearly the combine admin team knows no end to their vile corruption spreading throughout the land in an intoxicating haze.

 

[Raspberry]

how about you dont roleplay with people who are afk fuppy you fucking dense cretin

but yeah if he wants an ic conclusion let him reroleplay it

you are literally missing the point because your ego is in the way

get fucked and let another admin handle it if you cant take a step back to see how fucking in the wrong you are

 

[LittleB]

ferv your kinda rude

 

[Angry Neurotic Catholics]

no shit sherlock

 

[Welsh]

Just use your mp5, Rand.

Like you don't actually need a huge gun cause the cumbean outnumber us. Without bes, we'd get rekt and you'd lose ur AK like that.

 

[Raspberry]

you have x script item you don't need x script item is not a valid argument sadly

 

[Urban]

Fuck this thread. It's Mutated into some sort of mess. It started as a simple request to know why my AK was taken by admins, and if it was possible to get it back. Then people started concluding that I was some sort of liar, and then some get this idea that the same thing would've happened if it was RP'd out. It's clear this thread is going no where other than pointing fingers and being totally rude.If I'm not getting the unfairly taken Ak back, then there's no sense continuing to point fingers and being Assholes.

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.

If weren't using SWEPS then anyone could "Have" any gun they want and that wouldn't be fun mate.

The fact that you weren't present for the roleplay that has occurred doesn't matter, he can just look through the logs to get the thrill. If he's unhappy with the result they can redo it.

Why aren't 10 people allowed to continue roleplaying when 1 of them decides to go afk?

 

[Fuppy]

ill concede, this was a very sub par and poorly designed band-aid fix to solve a rather minor problem at the time due to people claiming it was an unjustified grace period when cornered and pressuring for a fix by all talking in TS at the same time since the stakes were high (and people were feeling very angst to move on). After hashing it out and fitting myself into the shoes of Wolf - looking back to when i was an inexperienced roleplayer as well - something like this would be very infuriating. Some of the smallest achievements as getting a gun feel like milestones in your character's story, and sometimes it is when you're firstly starting out. There's no impact on a single character because of this happening and is only proving to degenerate our community to a standing of sheer rebel versus CCA out of character power via scripts and positions.

I apologize for the snappy claims on you lying and my bad etiquette in the thread, I'll spawn your AK back. Please warn us in /a and then disconnect next time prior to going AFK in situations like that, especially before roleplay begins at all. It'll avoid confusion and mishaps.

 

[Jeuz]

Personally I'd rather give him the benefit of the doubt. We cannot expect our Garry's Mod roleplaying community to consist only of roleplay purists and I see the OP as a decent example of what the majority of the server should be, somebody who earns scripts through hours of activity (and ideally roleplaying). The units who 'roleplayed' with an AFK guy aren't going to really feel shit if this guy gets his gun back but the OP is just going to feel like shit.

If the OP has consistently done this in the past and is a known liar then that is a different story but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

 

[LandOfTheFree]

I always treat afk people as not being in the scenario. I have to agree that its powergame to assume an out on without rp.

 

[Duaine The Rock]

I'm agreeing with the verdict. Give him his gun back. My previous points were under vauge assumptions with lack of context. I assumed there was some form of abuse happening. However I still believe guns are for the most part irrelevant to a good RP experience. I was previously trying to state that he shouldn't need the gun for a experience as sweps are a mere showing and consent between players that you've acquired said item. From that if both parties consent to your RP, then it is valid. That's RP in essence. I do think the guy should be refunded upon seeing the actions that unfolded. However this could adhere to a dangerous presedence. This allowance of trust should only be given to good role players. Further actions of people claiming they need scripts back for his same reasoning could cause volitile and down right abhorrent squander between players.
