(7.1.3) Killing someone must be carried out with high quality roleplay, “put your hands up or I will shoot” etc is considered low quality RP and may lead to a ban for RDM/Fail RP. Executing another player must also be carried out with high quality roleplay, the only exception to this rule is if both you and the victim are engaged in a gunfight together.
This particular rule applies in scenarios where high quality roleplay should be present. Running up to someone and shouting "Hands up or die" and then shooting immediately after may be considered a violation of this rule. Not quite RDM but still very poor and unacceptable in a serious roleplay community.
A potentially good example of a roleplay robbery would be to be intimidating and over the top and say more than would I said above what is considered bad roleplay.
Breaking the rule down:
"Killing someone must be carried out with high quality roleplay" so an example of this would be "Move an inch out of line and I'll spray you down so fast I'll paint the Mona Lisa with your blood!" Would be an example of a decent threat to life after previous roleplay had also taken part with the opposition. "Executing another player must also be carried out with high quality roleplay, the only exception to this rule is if both you and the victim are engaged in a gunfight together" This means that when the player is downed and requires resuscitation from a defib or medic you can execute them killing the player and them losing all RP knowledge but to do this you MUST advise that you are killing them for example "Listen here you, you've been a pain in my side for sometime now and I'm tired of listening to your whinging and whining and I've finally got the edge on you and this is where I say good night *Pulls gun out, points at head* any last words? (Reply from downed player) *bang* " HOWEVER the exception to this rule is if you are the opposition are in a gunfight together so for example: a fight breaks out between two gangs, one gang is in the house, the other trying to break in, one of the gang members breaks into the house and runs in with a gun [this is assuming high quality roleplay has taken part already and the gun fight has started bare in mind] and gets sprayed down by the people originally in the house. Like I said this is assuming all the high quality roleplay has taken part already and at this stage is an active firefight. The people in the house may fire a bullet into the downed players head directly and kill them with no RP as it is an active firefight.
I hope that gives you some clarification. If you feel some gangs are not providing you with good RP when getting robbed you can record them with AMD Relive for AMD GPU's, Geforce Experience for Nvidea GPU's, Windows 10 game record [activated with WINDOWS + ALT + R and settings changed with WINDOWS + G] or plays.tv are just a few that a lot of our players use to capture evidence and then you may confront the players asking them to come to TS using OOC (out of character) messages. If they don't you may report them or you can go straight to a report or report them after talking to them if you feel it wasn't resolved. Alternatively if you have no recording you can inform in-game admins via the messaging system about what has happened and what rule you feel has been broken, in which case if we weren't watching already we will certainly try our best to watch the players mentioned should they continue to break rules. NEVER break a rule yourself to counter another rule breaker.
The video from Tadeusz mentions some great points IE:
C : Command
T : Threaten
T : Time
A : Action
But also remember that you need to inform players you have friends in the area when threatening them or counter threatening them for them to be allowed to shoot.
