Right so that's a problem that's on you, the players, not us. We're not forcing you to make shallow characters.

Yes, I agree actually. However, if you look back at cw and its rebels, they had harry who used to lead a couple of groups. With that he had many strong OOC allies, all which had something that interests new players, gear.
I might be wrong or not, after all this is just my personal opinion, not complaint. As much as I wish to speak more about this stuff, I am not sure if anyone is interested anyway...

Hey pal, it’s on you that the rulesets don’t allow long living characters unless you just flagged on the best times and were oocly aware of who’s shotcopping and bombings

w/o nlr or safezones, how else do you propose for characters to live long enough to attain gear?
PilotBland
PilotBland
Don’t hate Brano, the player for playing the game. You set the rules and allowed this stupid script bullshit where a characters worth is their items attained; instead of a worthwhile story.

It’s your garbage fuck rules that don’t allow long existing characters on the rebel scene, that’s final.

Rewrite em, send em my way Pilot and we'll review them

I mean a safezone deal was mentioned by BQ in private idk if he’s actually made details about it

preservation of character seems the least likely thing cause it feels like once you got a gun you might as well use it or you’re “misusing it and hoarding” like you shat on brano for

Pilotbland, I don't think you should be so focused on PKs either. If you think about it, when was the last time you heard of an 'innocent' rebel getting PKed by a sweep?
PilotBland
PilotBland
I don’t know! I just know it happens, I can cite a few friends who were just in the wrong place wrong time and got gatted for trying a slice of rebel life rp

I am sorry, Pilotbland. But this is not how it goes these days. I can assure you that sweeps are far more lenient then what they use to be, and you are safe to passiveRP with your friends. And this is one of the things I have been talking about, even a player like yourself, is too focused on OOC stuff like PKs, then focusing on your character.

One of the main things I pushed for when creating the new rebel system was ensuring that CPs and such didn't kill people who weren't threats so we didn't have this huge collateral every time a sweep happened. It's super leinient.
Brano
Brano
Pilotbland, can I ask you for genuine answer. Would you be more friendly to passiveRP if there was no risk to your character, thus no PKs at all?

I just like this discussion and I agree with some points so I'll just leave the comment to get notifications

@alex yes, I think that's great. But one catch that this might have is that people won't be walking around with their weapons, which might result into new players not being interested in the rebelRP/server.

We had a lot of goals when we switched to Helix but we left a lot of the decisions to the players, if you think more people should be passive then that's what you should push for because nothing is preventing that type of play. Same went for rebel faction, nothing stops a non-agression pact but people didn't want it.

The power for gameplay direction is in your hands.

No. It isn’t.

The rules aren’t ‘set’, it takes one instance of a over belligerent cop or a rebel abusing lenient sweeps- I get the headcop intentions and all but we can’t rely on good conduct alone and hope for it to stay well, that’s been proven multiple times.

oh wow my post was late sorry I was busy

and no I don’t wanna flag on and be swept regardless that’s my main point. I don’t want no pks, it’s the situation pks for s2k is shit
