Some Rules Don't Seem Necessary

[ksgamer103 15]

I was going over the rules again because I've been off awhile. Some of these seem... frankly rather dumb.

Actually its just one

I cant drive my vehicle into the ocean to stop it from being stolen?

This one is more unrealistic than all of them if you ask me. If the robber can rob me before I drive it into the ocean, then its his fault for being too slow. its not cheating in any way, because in real life, if I drove my truck into the ocean, the rober couldnt rob it. 

What possible good can this rule do?

[Warfare 498]

It's because it's technically combat logging the vehicle. With your logic the same could be said about being able to store it at a garage. 

[ksgamer103 15]

There is a big difference though. if I'm storing it in a garage, it dissapears into cyberspace. this is not physically possible. driving it into an ocean is though. Same effect, but one is realistic.

look at the terror heli rule you'll laugh, because people arent good shots and cant take my heli out i cant have gunners on it during terror.

[ksgamer103 15]

thats too bad... and what does this have to do with the topic?

[Corporal Moob 3316]

Why is this rule even being questioned..?

[Jorbis 327]

The main reason why the rule was added, was because people were constantly ditching their vehicles into water to prevent being robbed/arrested. Which didn't make interactions very enjoyable.

[ksgamer103 15]

But whats wrong with that? it makes the theif's job harder so you put a rule in to make it easier? 

[DyJaLo 0]

Point is - It's a set rule. No reason to change it. 

 

If there's no reason for it to be there, then there's no reason for it NOT to be there... 

[ksgamer103 15]

So in other words, you guys just want rules to have rules? I dont understand this train of thought its a roleplaying game, so should there not be an even balance between necessary rules and a push for realism?

difference is that in real life you don't get your car/truck back after 10 mins

[Dustin87 864]

If you would have played the server several months ago you would know why the rule was implemented. Even if some rules dont make sense trust me there is a reason it was added. The only rule i disagree with is the Heli/Terror rule but its there for a reason and we must follow it.

its not realistic when you drive said vehicle into the water then it despawns and appears in your garage.

[Grandma Gary 10477]

The reason you cant drive your vehicle into the water is because with Arma there is simply no way to get it out.  If you where in a cop chase in real life and decided to ditch in the water they could just call in a tow truck or whatever and pull it out, we dont have anything like that here.

 

As to the no choppers in terror that was added because no matter how good your aim was if there was only 3 deputies on they aren't ever going to stop a chopper and that is exactly the kind of situation we constantly ran into. 

[theycallmepaw 172]

just remember if you rp right any rule can be broken.

Please tell me how a Deputy would not be able to shoot a Hummingbird out the sky O.o

This has already been discussed and decided on, i worked the point viguously when the rule came out to no avail, its not worth re-agruing about. It is what it is cuh.

Wrong. Two guys sank their hemmt and with moonshine in it and i landed, killed them, and pulled it out with slings.

I'm not arguing, I'm simply pointing out the obvious

Some people need to realise not everyone is here to argue their life content out ^^

It wasn't hummingbirds that where causing the problems ;D

and if it was any other big truck?  all of them are beyond the slinging capability of a Taru.

[Lucki 950]

The only way I could see this rule being removed is if you driving the vehicle into the ocean resulted in the vehicle being permanently destroyed, like blowing up after 5 minutes. Otherwise it would be way to easy to abuse.

 

Case in point: Grandma Gary is driving his HEMMT along after refining a bunch of iron (Gary doesn't believe in the illegal drug trade). He starts getting chased by 5 rebels. "Oh, I don't mind losing this iron, as long as I don't lose my $200k HEMMT, lets drive it into the ocean. It'll be back in my garage after 10 or 15 minutes," He does, gets killed by the rebels after he comes up for air. All he loses was his gear, which may have been worth only $10K and some time on making the iron, but otherwise, he comes out in front as he got to keep his truck. Rebels on the other hand get pissed because they just lost the opportunity to make some cash off the iron / chopping the truck.

[Watermelone 168]

add tow trucks

[Warfare 498]

add tow trucks

then the tow truck would get stuck inside the water. 

[Jordan 34]

considering i have a video from august of last year of our group getting someone banned for driving his hemtt into the water

 

ima say this has been the dealio for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGGGGGGGGGGGG time, just not written down

[Dustin87 864]

Got combat stored on last night from someone who has been playing on this server for months, ironic this thread is going on aswell. We also managed to sling the hemtt anyway and it blew up.
