TOPIC: Is this not allowed

Ok so apparently we cant do /me Takes suicide pill Anymore acorrding to Jordan and trump? And i got banned for a week for doing so

You got banned for a week for mass rulebreaking buddy. Please don't make lies on the forums, and make an unban appeal if you think your treatment was unfair.

To actually answer your question, no, it's not allowed.

if there is no rule you can't punish for it

Using an OOC bind or command to gain an RP advantage is against the rules, and what probably what your were punished for.

Wrong. If Mytic was restrained/held at gunpoint, it would be in total violation of the FearRP rule to do this.. You could classify it as Fail RP as well. It'd be absolutely ludicrous to list all sorts of possible fail RP scenarios in the rules when it's essentially already listed there under rule 2.8. It's a common sense thing.

Just cause you want to minge, claim a hit on yourself, or get to spawn faster does not mean you can.

In RL you cant decide whether you're gonna die of a hearth attack, its not something you decide.

Therefore a /me hearth attack should allow suciding, right?

Unfortunately that isn't the context of this situation. Even if it was, it'd be Fail RP and against the rules simply because he'd be doing to purely to get an advantage rather than actually try to properly role-play something.

Miro wrote: No, even what you said re-enforces what I said.
If you can't decide it then why do you decide it as a player? Clearly that doesn't prove your point

Just saying to all, he did this over 6 times in the corse of just a minuite, saying that he used /me so it was fine.

Im talking generally about suciding not this guy
Soxey, this is SSRP not RLRP. If i want to roleplay a random hearth attack i can RP it to be random.


@Jochs

So if i do it purely to RP with no intent to get an advantage, is it allowed ?

What's RP about having a planned heart attack. Just because you say something is random doesn't make it so. The only acceptable scenario where using a kill bind is acceptable is if you're stuck and an admin doesn't arrive within a reasonable period of time. I don't know why but I've seen a lot of confusion over rules lately and from my experience suicide within RP is against the rules regardless of how it is conducted (This is what I remember from quite a while ago.).

It's just not RP to kill yourself when you feel like it. But it would be nice to get some clarification in the rules for this.

Personally I don't see the issue with it, I mean in real life if you want to take a "suicide" pill and kill yourself you can at any time, any of us can choose to take our own life, so why can we not choose to roleplay taking our own life? A little morbid but still the fact he didn't use it to get out of a situation or gain any kind of advantage, I don't see a problem.

In real life, if you have been kidnapped, i could imagine they would take suicide pills off you so they can sell you/use you as a hostage.

I mean, sure, if you needed to re-spawn for whatever reason, you could do it, i dont see a problem, but in a RP situation, it would just be dumb.

I honestly have no idea why you are insisting on dragging this on.. If you are so dead-set on this, then my only response is that you're going to have to do this traditionally and use the /roll command and actually roleplay the proper way instead of randomly coming up with some scenario that's just happens to be so damn convenient for you to get out of a sticky situation.. otherwise you're essentially just trying to loophole the rules because something some wild scenario isn't listed there, and you know damn-well that's unacceptable. Remember, staff's word is final when it comes to in-game.

There's no rule against it currently, but staff's word is final. This seems quite controvertial amongst the staff so I advise you to bring this up to an Owner and get their opinion on that, that will determine if it's allowed or not.

I'll speak with a few other Lead Team members to get their opinion on this, and bring it up in the meeting to see if a rule can be made for the decision to be set in stone.

Hope this clears it up!
