He shoots your tire and you shoot back and kill him you win. He shoots your tire and you shoot back but still die by him even after you have shot at him. I ban him. So basically if he skirts rules like that and kills you even after you shoot back I will ban anyways. So it's a win win for you. You either kill him or he gets banned thats great! but since ur an admin i need to ask you, i lost 200 processed oil that i was gonna sell. if i provide proof of him skirting can i get him banned + have him comp me/get comped but the server?

Piner 115 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) That's outrageously dumb that you could get banned for shooting someone's tires out then engaging. Edited April 26, 2018 by Piner Quote Link to comment

Caleb Snackbar 198 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 What if someone continuously vdmd you can you just shoot out their tires so they can’t hit you again or am I gonna be banned Quote Link to comment
Theak 113 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Don't get greedy, turn it in or ask for comp, not both. And you should always engaged first, unless in a red zone. Then shoot out the tires. Someone was camping plat/coke/oil road sitting under the bridge just west of the processes by the bay. Shot my tires out as I drove past, I had no time to do anything, my window go shot out the same time he ran up to engage, then I go tazed pulled out and the one taped leathel. I think I recorded it but didn't turn it in yet. There is someone or a group abusing this. However sounds like you just had bad luck man. This is arma. Join a group team and team up. Or enter my mega lotto tonight, server 2. Edited April 26, 2018 by Theak Quote Link to comment

How does this not make sense... You are shooting someones vehicle in an attempt to disable it, therefore allowing them free fire on you. If they shoot and miss, that seems fair as you are now both engaged. It would be absurd to receive a ban for their non compliance if they don't make a hostile move and you then engage them through normal means. Quote Link to comment

Also you have now stranded someone with little options of escape before you've engaged them... its common sense... in a game where RP and engagement is needed, its should be common sense that you need to engage with someone BEFORE shooting at them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Get out and run away 2. Get out run away to find cover then shoot back when said shooter least expects it. 3. Hands up 4. Hands up and try to roleplay situation 5. Shoot back (engages you to him and risk dying) this is the sketch part, Say he does shoot, if robbers hold fire until Engagement text is sent. can we then shoot him? 6. If you have time, jump out and repair the vehicle 7. Jump out and repair the vehicle or call the cops On 4/25/2018 at 4:50 PM, Metro said: If someone shoots at my vehicle I'm putting a bullet in them, Shooting at someone's vehicle is hostile activity. so they have the right to shoot you back correct me if I am wrong but RDM stands for Random Death Match, and shooting a pair of tires does not involve death, sure it may be skirting rules but look at it like this, this is how I see it You are engaging him to you. so he can kill you but until he shoots back you are not to kill him without engagement 1 1 1 even if he runs away or shoots back you still can't kill him. If the said player chooses to hide behind his truck or go for cover to slowly pick robbers off he can use that to his advantage, since we still can't kill him until text has been sent Quote Link to comment
MAV 1684 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 YOU ARE STILL INITIATING AN ENGAGEMENT WITH BULLETS AND NOT A TEXT OR VC Quote Link to comment

This has been brought up so many times and every time it was always said shooting tires without engagement is not rdm nor bannable and I think a lot of the older players still believe that so if staffs opinion on this has changed can we get it in the rules? Not new. Been like this since I joined staff. If you shoot someone without roleplay and kill them it's RDM.

Hawkons 18 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) So technically, you could shoot out someones tires without engaging, as long as you properly engaged them before killing them, and it would still be within the rules? This is how I've seen it done before, and how I've done it myself. You can shoot out someones tires to prevent escape, but you cannot kill them until you've given them a "hands up or die," even if they're shooting at you.

If you shoot tires out and then engage after and kill them it's RDM. We consider this skirting rules and not within the spirit of the game. Quote Link to comment

You need to make a demand before firing. The only exception to this is warning shots against aerial units. Quote Link to comment

I was just told up above dili, if I shoot out someone's tires without engaging and don't kill the player I can be banned for "skirting" rules like the fuck is that bullshit? I've been doing that since year one and will continue to do it to be honest. If I don't kill the player it's not RDM, if I can get out a text on the individual I would love to, in some cases that ain't the luxury. Quote Link to comment

I'm now going to be banned for RDM even though... technically he is the one who attempted to RDM me but failed? At that point we were both claiming self defense. Quote Link to comment
