Reading some comments here made me chuckle. There's so many positives to this rule yet people are too tunnel-visioned to realize the good it can bring to the server.
You're here to make a story for your character, make an impact on the server, the community and ultimately have fun. How do people make stories for their characters if you're sitting behind a gang with 20 people waiting for something to be initiated by another person? You're gonna roll up to the situation, have nothing to say and pray somebody shoots so you can get involved. Please tell me I'm wrong?
If you're dependent on another person to start something for you because you can't make a story for yourself, you shouldn't be here. This is the mentality across all gangs on the server. There's only a select few people from each gang to actively go out and involve themselves in RP and these are the people that appear on login screens and are known in the community. So many members in gangs however if somebody asked you to name half of the members from the opposing gang, you wouldn't have a clue. You're not gonna get your name out there because you're wearing colors and you took part in a shootout.
The rule of 6 is to incentivize new and existing players to go out and participate in stories that are based around your character, not your gang. With so few people in a party going around with you, you have the opportunity to talk and introduce yourself to the server. You're not in the shadows quietly listening and waiting for the situation to resolve, you're
participating.
Having little parties going around the city, brings life everywhere around to the server, not just your turf. Seeing people log on just for disputes and wars because you have the free pass and the opportunity to RDM someone, please get the fuck out.
Everything else has pretty much been covered already. The rule is not there to punish anybody, it's there to incentivize more quality RP. If there wasn't a problem, this topic would have never exist, but as expressed by some of the members above, there clearly is one. If you're here to just to shit on the idea because it doesn't suit you and you have nothing interesting to add to the conversation to try and find the solution, again, find the door and fuck off
