Adding a proper RP mode for those who want it

Suggestion headline: Add an 'rp session' more solely for those wanting to RP
Picture: Keep the picture in this

Spoiler: show

Importance of suggestion: 7. It would be nice, but it's not really a priority.
Why should it be accepted: So we know that CnR is the main point of the server. We know that TDM has been taking place alot. We know that RP is suffering, but was never a main point either...

Still, when players DO wish to RP, it almost ALWAYS get wrecked by other people who, whether intentionally or not, get involved and ruin it. So, I propose an RP session that can be made between players to do a safe, comfortable RP without issues.

How it would work: The idea is pretty simple. Players get together and agree to an RP. A player then does /Createrp and is made 'gamemaster'. They can then do /inviterp (id) and invite other players. Once enough players are gathered and everyone is ready, the gamemaster does /startrp and the following takes place:

1: Players appear white to anyone outside the RP
2: players are immune from damage from anyone outside the RP, but EVERYONE inside the RP can harm each other
3: commands such as /rob /rape /infect are disabled, as is the ability to rob stores, casinos, ect.
4: LEOs inside the RP can add/remove wanted levels as they see fit within the RP. Arrests would still send the person to jail however if the RP officer deems it part of the RP.
5: everything that happens in the RP is removed after. So if you had a wanted level given by a LEO in the RP, it disappears if the session dies by accident (such as a timeout)
6: you can add or remove as many players from the RP session as you wish. If someone gives you problems (such as not RPing to simply DM) kick them out.

To prevent abuse of the /startrp command, the following can be done:
You CANNOT join if you have a wanted level
You CANNOT join if you have a hit on you.
You CANNOT join if you are spamming 'let me join rp pro pls'

This is a pretty simple idea, and for those who want to RP, it makes a safety bubble. We had an RP session with 6 people today, all in one spot, clearly RPing and such, only to have a LEO come shoot down a player who was wanted, despite an RPing cop being there. Everyone shouted 'ITS AN RP DONT RUIN IT' and the reply we got was 'lol sorry i dont read chat when killing crims' like come on, we were having a blast and I was actually thrilled to see so many of us doing this, only to have it all destroyed by a cop who couldnt see a million "dont ruin RP" messages.

This is pretty neat. +1.

To go on a bit of a tangent, it’s just like whenever you go to the gym and you feel like eating some pastries - usually people would respond “hey this is a gym not a delicatessen shop”. Brainless degenerates. Sure the gyms main purpose is to work out/exercise, but I think that for the people that want to go and have a muffin or so every now and then in between workouts it would be cool! Sure the resources could be spent on a better locker room, better machines/equipment, maybe even an outdoor pool, but frick it, I WANT A MUFFIN!

On a more serious, less ironic note, you (and other players, myself included even) need to think before suggesting something, and try to make sure that it’s not coming from a whim of “I want this now!” vs “ok it actually makes sense to invest in this” or whatever. You remind me a lot of myself - arrogant (showing up and thinking you know more than others after two months than two years), with a lot of free time (to write up these responses), and an inability to genuinely involve others in the discussion (approaching one as a “race” to convince the other side rather than hear them out). I’m still guilty of most if not all of these as well. However, you are well intentioned above all else and I genuinely think that you could be beneficial for the server.

For that to happen though, you need to do something that I was unable to do - STOP BECOMING SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN EVERYTHING, AND AVOID BASING YOUR SELF IMPORTANCE ON THESE THINGS ON THE SERVER. I was unable to do that, always trying to make things my way or the highway, being unable to adapt to the players that Lsrcr has, and in general confusing my role in the server as a dictator rather than another cog in the wheel.

Although it is not my job to decide anything of such nature, with time and patience I think you could become a good suggestions overseer/moderator, an admin or who knows what. But for that to happen, you need to listen more to the players, and not just regurgitate your ideas as you come up with them - chances are someone before you thought of the same, and can offer you more feedback on why something is good or bad.

I appreciate your feedback. You make good points.

You might find it hard to believe, but I have come a long way. I used to be ALOT worse. I have a long list of emotional and mental disabilities. Autism, PTSD, ODD, IED, bi-polar to name a few. I'm seeking treatment, taking the pills, seeing a therapist, and so on. I am working on it, I truly am. But recovery is not an overnight thing and I only started about 4 months ago.

Still, I appreciate your input and will think on it ^-^

It would be a great addition to the server for those players who want to RP, nowadays its nearly impossible to RP, You can't have a wanted level while doing RP, If you do so(in scenario of roleplay), You're just gonna get hunted down by cops even if you have your own Roleplaying LEO with you, Most of the players dont even understand what RP is, they just ruin the roleplay and say "sorry" and leave.
Neither you can peacefully roleplay in a cop skin without getting jumped on by 7+ so called cophunters.
So the last option remains to RP in civil skin which is highly limited because we can't obviously access commands which a specific class can do.

Implementing this would surely cause no Harm to those who are not the member of the rp session,
As soul stated, "You cant enter a rp session with a wanted level, whilst having a hit contract, You cant join without a invite"
This probably covers most of the abusable ways, and even if its get abused in any way, we shall stand together in helping any problems being caused.
Again, it won't affect anyone outside the rp session, since its invite only and private session. And hopefully players can roleplay in peace without getting interrupted in horrible ways.
