Completely unbiased portion of the story:

Let's say you're basing and you'd really like to move your printers. So, you go to the car dealer and spawn a ford raptor to transport your printers. As you're transporting your printers, you see this thief walk up to your truck and hop on top of it. He then proceeds to sit in the back of the truck, looking at your printers which are specials or nuclears, doesn't matter. You'd likely assume he collects from them, at least I did. He's just a random thief you've never seen in your time playing before.

After reading that, I want to ask a couple questions:

Would you kill that thief that is sitting there, staring at your printers and probably collecting from them? It's not like you know him, he probably doesn't even know the rules.

Is this car, an entity, considered my base? If you saw a car with specials flying out the back, maybe a couple GPPs in it, would you raid that car? Raiding, as in lockpicking, tgunning, throwing any specials or shooting any guns at it. Do you think it should be allowed to raid that car?

Most important question:

If the thief were killed, would you consider this RDM?


The reason the post is made:

WARNING: Biased story ahead, read the topmost story first!

This exact situation happened last night. An undercover super admin, Overseer Doombringer disguises himself as "Grand Grape". He comes to my base, the apartments in S3 way behind spawn and hops on my truck that is loaded with 2 sets of VIP printers. I tell my friend "hey, some random kid's collecting from our printers, kill him!" so we kill him and I hear him mutter something about us RDMing. Well, no crap I killed you, you were staring at my printers!

Then, a person I believe to be a moderator who's name I won't disclose comes to my car, and shoots it with a TGun. This means, for a fact, that he was raiding, but Doombringer would classify this as a double RDM (my friend and I being in a car - our base, with printers in it.). What about the printers, then? It should be seen as a base, my truck.


I wasn't seeing Doombringer's perspective at all. Any player that comes on the server knows printers are raidable entities and should not be touched with their owners' nearby unless they want to get slaughtered. He makes an example of if I brought a printer to spawn, I should be able to kill everyone that's near me. But no, I had a car. I owned the "door", the car was mine in all prospects. I could have "sold" my "door" with F2 in my car, but it was my car. My truck.

That's the end.

I was warned for RDM. What do you think?
