Main

Is there a way for a player to opt out of this?

The situation comes to mind where a player is already on server, or comes on server just as this "event" starts, and they want to RP as they normaly do, but suddenly they cannot place the dupes they want or RP in the areas they want because of prior "reservations"

I would assume this entire thing is opt in only, and not forced upon people, otherwise it will have a detrimental effect on those who would rather play their normal way.

Main Server

I would hope so, forced events don't always end well, if we all recall the old days forced passive nights, where all guns would be disabled? Police, SWAT, SS, Gun dealers, Corlones, Anarchists, Black market dealers in one instance all became worthless jobs to be in.

Then there are the situations where an admin would announce their holding an RP event on the server, and almost all the servers general RP would die as people flooded to be apart of their RP for the higher chance of earning Reps, main reason I never announced any events I did, people just had to find them.

If this is infact a non-opt out event, what would you do with those who don't want to take part, and just continue on as normal? They cant be punished as they haven't broken any official rules

For jobs that require applying for, warnings will be given. The first being given 4 hours before.

As for those that do not wish to take part, I’ll advise you speak to Bambo.

That kind of sets an odd precedent does it not?

"We want to encourage roleplay"
(Oh boy, i want to be a cop)
"No, you dont get to be one because Bob online reserved that slot"
(But he's not here? And it wasnt like this yesterday?)
"If you go cop, you will be given a warning, do not go cop"
(We'll i wana go cop? Nothing in the rules says i cant?)
"Warning issued, player removed from cop slot"
(Player leaves server and never comes back)

Its this odd situation where you want to encourage RP, but only a specific type of RP, and will warn people off for RPing in a way thats...not? The kind you want to encourage? In the end its all Roleplay so why would it matter?


Edit: Another thought came to mind, by warning 4hrs before hand, do you mean to say that if players are in the slots that are "reserved" before this starts, they will be forced out to make way for the other people? If so that's very unfair and rude to those who we're already enjoying their time on the server.

Forced events that change the way/ restrict one's normal RP (police, fire, EMS) really should be held on the event server.

I disagree 100%, roleplay on the main server is extremely stale at the moment, I would rather get kicked of my position so an event can happen on Live rather than sending people over to another server for the sole purpose of doing a server wide event. It is literally 4 hours, you can do whatever you want before and after. Not to mention the fact this was posted 3 WEEKS before it happens.

(Stale or not, forcing players out of the RP they are already doing in favor of your own on a server wide scale seems selfish, things like this are better kept to the event server to not disturb the regular gameplay.)

It is literally 4 hours, you can do whatever you want before and after. Not to mention the fact this was posted 3 WEEKS before it happens.

(How long it lasts, and how long ago it was announced is irrelevant, by stating this in such a way, your assuming that everyone on the server will have heard of it, new and old players, and your assuming they will be ok with their RP being forced to end, and their dupes being forced to be removed in favor of people who potentialy weeks ago "reserved" the job and land for their RP, while ignoring the fact people are already active doing their own RP which they find fun.

Announced Small scale events are one thing, unnanounced larger events are also another as they are opt in and need to be found, but a serverwide forced participation of an RP and RP style that people may not want, that risks uprooting already in place RP in favor of RP that was "reserved" by people weeks before, ignoring those who are RPing at that very moment? 

I can't agree with that, nor can I support it.

Again I ask, what will you do with those who don't want to participate, who refuse to give up their job slots and land because they are already there, and who are already enjoying their time?)

Like the previous ones we kick etc till everyone is in place

[kian]

Kicking people who already have their spots so you can force what should be on the event server onto the main server.

Decent.

[Soviethooves]

Ight this event just lost any respect I had for its message. If you wanna bave a Serious RP Night. Sure I have no problem with it. But don’t kick people out of slots in the middle of their RP. We have an event server for this very reason. Why ruin some peoples’ day when they just wanna get on a play usual LL?

[bimkx]

It's one night... main is more likely to attract more people to join the event. If you can't survive one evening without being able to play as a police officer then you've got issues.
