prior to hl2rp going down for X amount of time there was a rule that specified players couldn't withdraw a weapon and aim it at somebody in a single /me
+Support to the asspulling suggestion, however I do not like the bubble concept. In a realistic situation, when the cp are only 100-200 yards away and they sprint over, they would intervene immediately, I think it will hurt the roleplay. I say this because how realistic is sitting there watching your fellow cp get beat up for 3 /me's while I'm standing here with a gun not able to do anything.(ps this is from my cp characters viewpoint, the example)
I say just leave it as-is but make sure if it directly affects the other person that they have time to react. Ex.GOOD:C18.MPF.RAZOR-DvL.42069 unclips his stunstick from his belt.Bobby Joe looks at the officer's stunstick warily.C18.MPF.RAZOR-DvL.42069 attempts to strike the citizen once in the ribcage.Bobby Joe cries in pain with the baton's impact.BAD:C18.MPF.ECHO-RCT.42069 takes his baton and beats the citizen to death.[LOOC] Bobby Joe: Dude what the fuck
bubble rule/timescale should really be made into an official rulewhile it isn't anything official just now, i've seen people abide by something similar while others just completely disregard it and it stirs up shit in looc when they intervene

Asspulling is pulling out something IC that wasnt there OOC. Example:A: Shit I think we're lostB: Fear not for I have this entire detailed map of the sewers.A: I cant see to read itB: Also fear not for I have this red night reading light in my pocket too.
The situation we have here isn't either. It's unrealistic timing. CP's responding to radio calls faster then the roleplay of the situation is going. There doesnt need to be a rule. Just some common sense on both ends.
