I just witnessed two people mugging others like it's fucking OCRP. I mean come on... why the fuck are we mugging eachother?
-
Because not all characters are morally sound... Just because you escape to the outlands doesn't mean you're a saint.

Like Nikolai said "It's out of the canon" but it isn't against the rules. I mean, once is cool, but i've seen it happen way too many times for srs rp.

Extreme situation with repressed people in it.
Not everyone is going to be cool headed about it.

Another reason why it should be restricted to whitelisted players.

It'll never happen.

fight fight fight!
On a serious note, this is truly FAIL RP at its best, and should never happen. Did gordan freeman ever encounter mugging and shit.
NO!
Everyone is too busy running or hiding from the combine to do that shit, now i hope i never see this shit or have this shit happen to me!
-
Some guys who said they were part of the official rebel group earlier took over an entire part of outlands and started mugging everyone..

NO!
because he was gordon fucking freeman

Well I'm slightly offended by all this commotion caused by simple, very detailed, roleplay. I was one of the muggers that you are attempting to describe and blame for the FailRP, as it seems. I will state that the mugging is fully roleplayed, and very realistic, if you have a problem with it, then it's your own problem. I would refuse to believe that the Outlands at the times in which we play at wouldn't have muggers. There will always be thieves and muggers, anywhere you go. In the Outlands, there is a greater despiration for commodities, as they could be pawned and exchanged for food, and other scenerios like so. I, however, have seen some people FailRP in the mugging scenerio. Upon being held at gunpoint, or surrounded, they refuse to co-operate, and give the "I don't give a fuck if I die" attitude. Or: they just disconnect. I want you to understand, that as muggers we are taking the risk too. We risk being ICly outcasted by the surrounding parties, aswell as risk getting PKed upon RPed death.

Official resistance is organized. They were frauds. There are only 2 members currently ready to play in outlands. They have vests if they're outside the HQ at all times. Otherwse, we don't mug people...

I second this.

Unfortunately crime, even petty muggings, are apart of life. And un-doubtedly apart of canon.
-
If mugging doesn't become a rule, can we atleast have a resistance group where we don't mug nor get mugged.

you can make a group and say "no mugging" any time you wants. but you cant pull "HAHAHAHHA YOU CANT TOUCH ME CAUSE IM IN A GROUP" shit

Right but... heres the thing
I came here to rp as a refugee, searching for things and hiding away from the oh so bad guys named OTA. OTA is the one i'm worried about guys... i am h- oh fuck we got muggers now, time to worry about them. Isn't that just a huge whole ripped right through the rp?
People say mugging is part of the rp, but i came here to rp as a refugee and do what refugee's do and stay away from the Civil Protection and try and survive. "But people mug people to survive also..." That's not the point!
Aside from me thinking that it ruins rp of being a refugee, i think in OOCly it's just bullshit. If you wanna do that, go to a less srs rp. IDC about my ban, i did that to myself as i avoided the Mugging rp having it still not a rule. I just hate people doing this shit to us AGAIN in a way more serious rp.
-
Mugging is just fucking stupid, and totally out of canon.
Nuff said.
-
Mugging is legit, and is part of the risk you take by escaping from the city. Mugging is perfectly in-canon and realistic; desperate people will do whatever it takes to survive. Smart refugees are careful of who they trust. Muggers separate the naive refugees from the savvy.

I even spoke to Roflwaffle about how he thinks about muggers in outlands. He his response... "gay"
-
but issue is muggers come along to ONLY the unarmed and say pretty much "give me your entire inventory, or you die"
they are stealing bleach, with not the purpose to survive, but to cause anger

I steal supplies from houses and such if people leave their stuff behind unguarded. But mugging simply goes way to far. I don't want to lock myself in my house because I'm scared that random lulwebulz come in with their guns stealing my 40k tokens. Your goal in this game is to survive From the combine. Not create new enemies from your own species and cause even more danger for yourself.
-
Your goal is to survive, period, be that from the combine, antlions, zombies, or human thieves and otherwise unsavory characters.

Why the fuck am i having to worry about something that people never did in Half life 2? I worry about Necrotics, antlions, and OTA, thats it!

im camping at spawn with my smg, if youre going to say that

If you say that, then lets not worry about OTA at all then.

Well, that made just about no sense at all... What sort of point were you trying to make there?

He's saying that OTA doesnt seem as much as a threat because all they do is walk down the streets and dont raid as often. Where as muggers just walk around and take everybody elses stuff and can always be on and can go into canals and sewers.

There are prople in the outlands with the goal to kill or do what is nessessary to gain items like guns regardless of that fact that there not nessessary. There is also people in the outlands who are moral character (like my character) and try to lay down the law in the outlands, I have PK'ed before because a guy attempted to mug someone that I didn't know. Mugging comes with possible consequences so I think it's perfectly fine.
-
Yeah, especially now that we're handing out PKs.

Alright, seeming as you're all upset about my roleplaying ways, I will explain them.
First, seeing as you're all butthurt over the mugging, let's relate it to real life, shall we? Roleplay is nothing but a reflection of real life with a fictional character, no? Well, let's discuss reality. Muggers and thieves. What are they? Are they "FailRPers" of the world we live in today? Or are they desperate for money and food so much that they are willing to mug other people to survive? Well, the answer is yes. Muggers and thieves are often stealing from others in order for themselves to survive. Desperation for survival.
Now: let's relate that to the Outlands scenerio which we are all angry about. Outlands: what is it? It's the outskirts, or deserted areas of what once were cities. Who inhabits these areas? People who do not seek the Universal Union's success. They see it as torture, and escaped the heavily guarded cities in order to spend their lives in the ways that they see best to survive. What does this mean? Well, obviously that everyone is striving to survive. Are all people living their lives in a Christ-like way? No. Does everyone have the same morals? No. Is everyone of the same sanity at these times of desperation? No.
So at this point, what we have come to gather in this rage-full thread, is that mugging is "FailRP" and is "un-Canon". So, gentlemen, let me ask you this: are all refugees striving towards the same goal in this roleplay server? Yes, yes, they are. But are they all expected to achieve freedom, peace, and survival through unity? The answer to that is no. As I've stated previously; muggers and thieves only do what they do because they are desperate to survive, and see no other way to go about it. In my mugging RP, my character is desperate for survival, struggling in his habitat, and has been becoming, what some would call, insane. I understand that you all see Outlands as a place of teamwork between the refugees, but that's not it at all. I don't care if there were no mugging scenes in either one of the Half Life games. Mugging is an attempt at survival, as seen through one's state of mind. Surely: Gordon Freeman was never seen being mugged, that would be ridiculous, but not non-Canon.
The next question I must ask: how is this RP, in any way, non-Canon? This is a fantasy world, and a game (keep that in mind). It is also a roleplaying server. My character has laid his hands on a weapon, and is going through a time where the only way for himself to survive is through the mugging of others. As I have seen some ridiculous points being made about us only mugging Bleach, and only un-armed people, I will explain those, because clearly; you have no common sense. Why would you mug a person who could fight back with the same firepower that you are mugging the person with? Un-armed people are weak, and defenseless; thus making them easy targets to pick off and attack. Mugging people with guns would risk the mugger's life to a point where any sudden move can make the mugger fire without a second thought. Now; the next point. Why mug people for Bleach? Well, first of, that is an understatement. We do not mug people for Bleach, but occasionally run across it. What do we do with the goods we mug that cannot be consumed? We sell them in order to aquire currency, so that we can buy the food required for our characters to stay alive, staying within realism.
The fact that you're all upset about simple RP and disconnect to avoid it is insanely immature.
Read over everything I said. It will open your eyes to reality. Welcome.

I hope that Gordan Freemen gets mugged in the next Half Life game, because if he does, I bet Rory Phillips would change his mind completely about this topic.
He seems to believe that just cause it never happened in a game, it will never happen. Fucking. Pathetic.
Fuck.

Not everyone is going to get along. Not everyone is mentally sane. Mugging is in no way 'uncanon' and will remain allowed - however, we will add guidelines to it and doing it without proper IC reasoning and doing it excessively will not be allowed.

Settled, thank you.
