I mean you are a trained soldier with a good diet - there isn't much any unarmed retard is going to do to you in most circumstances. Proselytes are really only at risk of being mugged in events like the prison anyway.

me thinks though that if someone is trying to mug a proselyte, whilst they are on the catwalks, they are either very stupid, or im very stupid because they are about to idk, pull out an rpg or something

but real shit dont like, discipline people oocly for getting mugged thats a bit gay and I know what is and what isnt gay

compared to civil protection

proselytes are a hell of a lot stronger

that's not to say they can spin around and disarm you but if the mugger is kinda silly he can easily be fucked over

you can't disarm a brick of semtex tied to my chest, pros losers

chez i dont know if you're joking but if you actually tell people off oocly for play to losing thats a bad precedent to take
Chezburger
Chezburger
also id be disciplining oocly because I'd expect a lot better from trained soldiers than thug beat cops, it may be different for CPs but they're a different breed entirely

I'm not punishing you for playing to lose I'm punishing you for either alt tabbing on the catwalks or being a genuine tard

if its otherwise then yeah w/e it slides but if you get mugged or killed out of your own stupidity I'm not gonna just sit there famalam

Maybe take context into account, if a proselyte walks into a catwalk alone and some brave bluesuit monkey hits them with a plank, yeah, maybe they should be good soldiers and just take the injuries and fight back, but if they're unironically in a tight spot where fear rp and fear PKs play a role, then cut some slack

I think what Chez means is, like cops, you need some sort of motivation to play to your strengths. P2L means "don't just shrug everything off", but unlike what some people think it don't mean "Just lose all the time even if you realistically couldn't." - you don't want Proselytes ending up doing what cops used to do and slipping their buddies equipment (not that they would).

If you AFK in a bad spot and get jumped, you deserve punishment. If you get ambushed and have to RP properly then fair play.
Raiden
Raiden
of course but sometimes there are situations even trained soldiers might find themselves in which can ultimately force them to play to lose

I don't think we should be discouraging play to lose - being reasonable with it, sure, outright banning/punishing it is just silly
Rabid
Rabid
I don't think he means "you can't ever P2L", more like "if you end up in a situation you shouldn't have and get mugged like going AFK in the open, you deserve punishment".
Raiden
Raiden
yeah but being afk is different to responding reasonably and truthfully to a situation where realistically your character could be fucked
Raiden
Raiden
yeah thats fair enough I can respect that, just didnt seem like when I read the op LOL

like rabid said im not punishing for p2l

just dont go afk or be a dummy.

If you get mugged and it isn't your fault then that's fine

But if you lose an XM or an MP7 because you were watching youtube videos in overlay, then expect me to excavate your arsehole
Raiden
Raiden
yeah generally it fits in with actively playing the part in the faction, however again we're all human and people make mistakes
