Time: 23:20
Summary:
I had earlier stolen a police-cruiser that were unlocked and dumped it at the Motor's-building opposite of bank/firestation.
10 minutes later, I approach Gungranny who was a citizen, asking whats up, and he asked if he could join me if I were going to steal another cop-car.
I said that I could take him to the one that had been dumped at motorstore, and he followed me over there.
He then proceeded with doing a /pm to a police-officer, assuming that he "had my position" and a bunch of cops came to get me.
Gungranny then yelled "It's the man in the black shirt!" as the cops were running after me.
As I ran around the building, I gave up and asked how Gungranny contacted the police, as I did not see him do a /request - he sent a /pm to an officer - as citizen and not "undercover police" or "police informant".
I then asked how that could be legit and not metagaming, and I was told something similar to "This is semi-serious, you don't have to /me things that is a function in-game" or something.
This was Hamsteers words, he might elaborate on that.
Either way, I cannot simply just "accept" that this was not failRP or metagaming, and here is my reasons:
I have always been told that /pm is a OOC-feature, as you should not send "/pm <someone> Help me, I am getting questioned by the police" or share any vital roleplay-information that would result in an unfair result as I think that this is.
I was looking at him the whole time, I expect that he would type /me takes up his phone, or /me sends a text-message, instead of just PM the police-force without giving me any roleplay-insight that could change the roleplay to me freaking out and running away/confronting him.
I would basically say that he took away my chance of expanding/develop the roleplay further with me having a chance aswell, and instead used what I would say is an OOC-feature to call the police "silently".
Evidence:
I only have a one-minute-video of hamsteer stating what I wrote above here and nothing from my interaction with Gungranny.
