Quote10:32 PM - Kom'??: Candyman is BOL, his description and such is common knowledge, that's how we confirmed it was him.
10:31 PM - Kom'??: And the pictures?10:31 PM - Kom'??: Scanners have the ability to see the name of whoever they are following10:32 PM - Kom'??: Its not metagaming, its how hl2rp is coded10:32 PM - Orange: That's metagaming.
QuoteI did not know at all that Candyman was there until I found out when finding out who I took pictures of.
QuoteI saw a group of citizens near the warehouse and (as explained above) the scanner was able to recognize Candyman as a Priority One BOL after receiving the information earlier.
How in the holy hell would a scanner 10-15 feet above whoever they're trying to snap a picture of manage to get a clear shot of the fingerprints? If you look at your fingerprints right now from head height to keyboard, you can't see them. Yes, we had fingerprints. But it's not like candyman was throwing his hands up and allowing the scanner to observe them.
The fact that two, or three people agree'd that the situation was under role played and it was almost about to be accepted by purple, but it just had the wrong format. Should be enough, you can just read the last denied thread and see for yourself.
If this was to be passed then it would establish a precedent for all future situations which would virtually allow me and other units to basically metagame wanted targets simply by getting a copy of their fingerprints - and ultimately that would create more drama with 'resistance opposition' than what there already is.

When did anyone say that getting a copy of their fingerprints gives you the right to "basically metagame"? Everyone is taking what I said and twisting it. It isn't a hard concept. We have a copy of the Candyman's fingerprints, proving that he's been processed by the combine before. People on the other thread said that the scanner wouldn't be able to positively identify him, which is why I brought up this point. The way I see it, if you've been processed before by the combine (Like all citizens are when they are put into cities), then a scanner could recognize you unless you've somehow reconstructed your face.

All citizens are processed unless otherwise authorized. Scanners can ID a citizen within seconds based upon dozens of body proportions. Technology similar to this already exists in prototype military unmanned base defense devices.Completly ignore the fingerprint thing - He said it to make a point, but few people seem to understand it.

I believe it has been stated before that I wasn't openly waving my hands to the scanner, so there was no way it would've snapped a picture of them.
When I made the finger print point on the other thread, I wasn't saying that the scanner took a picture of his fingers and compared them to fingerprints. What I was saying that the fact that the CCA has a copy of his fingerprints shows that he has in fact been processed by the CCA (Like all citizens are when they are placed in cities), which I would assume means a scanner could figure out who they are.I wasn't in charge of forensics, or even working on that case when it happened, so I can't tell you much about the case; however, I noticed it in our database, and I figured that it made sense.
