May 2025 - Gray Area Discussion

[Mighty 1488]

It has been a long time since we last discussed gray areas. I'm sure several people have questions about the new Server Rules Update and More 05/02/2025 post. If you have a strange scenario or are unsure of a rule, post a comment, and we will try to clarify things.

Alternatively, you can submit a General Inquiry ticket to discuss something more privately.

Just one of my own comments: It seems to be ABSOLUTE EXTREME common knowledge forever in the Support Team, and the sRNR that there was an engagement range, but whenever I pressed them on it they were never able to provide the exact place where this mythical engagement range was located. I'm glad you guys are putting the common interpretations into the rules.

@ Mighty  if i have 15 people restrained and one of them wants a lethal can I put him at the opposite end of everyone and lethal all of them until that one guy is dead? Or do i have to use a satchel?

I had a situation i was watching unfold.

 

A new player was warred with a specific group and kept requesting medics nearly 100x in a row and the medic and gang farmed him. 

While i understand war rules say fuck off but something about that situation doesnt seem right. 

They farmed 100's of warpoints of this dude and the medic just kept reviving over and over

at fault for what? his RNR might not cost any money, and then it's generating money for the RNR and generating warpoints and inflated KDs for the killer. This 100% seems against the spirit roleplay, and the purpose of a roleplay server, but I do agree with you there nothing stopping it. If you planned it in advance it would be potentially against the rules for abusing the warpoint system, but because it happened naturally I don't think it's against that rule.

If medic revives were free I'd absolutely start to abuse and fuck with the game mechanics like this more

yeah he could be ruining his own fun in a way, but that's not necessarily where the problem lies. It does seem weird, and it doesn't seem like a roleplay server when that happens, even if there is no rule break.

You can't just blow up an entire group of hostages just because one person is requesting a lethal.

The answer is no -.-

Currently there’s nothing that preventing this unless there was some evidence they were grouped up and intentionally abusing the system. But if it’s just one stubborn dude who thinks he may eventually get the kill and keeps wasting money on a medic.. there’s nothing against this.
