TOPIC: [SSRP] New Rule Against Miners

Remove auto clickers

Reasonably hard to inforce in my opinion, along with the fact that autoclicking is just another way to make money, i see no valid reason to remove it.

Auto clicking is not the same as afk mining.

Define afk: away from keyboard

When I use my auto clicker I am most likely on edge in case someone placed a hit on me or if I am gonna be rdm'd so I just go on youtube on my phone at my keyboard, I do not want to click mindlessly at 1 stone for hours when I can entertain my self on youtube. Fair enough it takes no skill to mine but it takes hours of grinding even if you use an autoclicker it will still take time...

P.S printing takes no skill just buy a printer and either hide it or place it in your base (both are equally as dangerous)

AFK Mining and using auto clickers instead of really playing the game really doesn't promote the kind of friendly and open community Zarp is supposed to represent. Instead of mining there should be efficient ways to make money that promote teamwork and cooperation.

Viking you just said the dumbest shit I have ever heard...

People normally get more aggressive while basing. While new players sometimes try to mine and I am more than happy to craft them a vip pickaxe if they give me the resources. Now you saying that mining makes zarp "unfriendly" is ver weird since basing people kill you for going in there.

You will use special weapons on what if there are no bases.The point of the server is to be role-playing and not just sit afk and mine.Go enable your autoclicker and play cookie clicker then

Zax The Rhino wrote: Basing and raiding is a big part of what makes DarkRP fun for a lot of people that play the gamemode, and anybody that has played the gamemode before knows what to expect in terms of basing and being killed. How fun are the SSRP servers going to look to new players if everybody is sitting there AFK mining with autoclickers? Some of my most memorable experiences in GMOD are the interactions I had with other players while basing, raiding, etc.

You said afk miners make the community unfriendly. I don't mine its boring but some people do really want money but I don't try and stop them I let them play the game how they want to.

as I said printing takes no skill because you just buy a printer. defending your base on the other hand will most likely be impossible with all the explosives but then again people can be very stupid but it doesn't take a brain to make sure you don't go in tight corridors.

Well. I think that if you take the autoclickers away it would cause more problems because every now and then people place hits on you. Miners will have a chance to lose their pickaxe.

True. ^ auto clicking is also dangerous because people place hits or straight up rdm.

What problems would it cause again?

Lol you lose 500k when you have already gotten a profit of more than 10m

Zax The Rhino wrote: Viking wrote: Did I? I meant exactly what I said, people standing there AFK mining doesn't promote friendliness or player interaction in the slightest. New ways of making money that require players to work together would better give people a sense of community and a need to work together when playing SSRP. Sounds a lot more enjoyable than just leaving my computer running for hours on end to compete with other richer players and gangs.

I don't see how sitting in your base printing is also rp'ing. They are rp'ing as miners right?

Zax The Rhino wrote: Roleplay? This is DarkRP we're talking about, if you're looking for any sense of serious roleplay I'd suggest you look into some Clockwork HL2:RP servers. Semi-serious is arguably a stretch.

Also, I suggested that we look into new ways to make money, maybe even change the way printers and other classic DarkRP items work into a more advanced systems that require planning, constant supervision, and cooperation. For example printers that require paper, cooling, etc. Drug Plants that need pots, soil, water, light source, etc.
