A Guide to the Types of People in Perpheads
If you're reading this, chances are that you've probably met a whole ton of different people while playing on the server. If not, or if you're just lazy and have nothing else to read, I have comprised a list of the eight different people you will meet on PerpHeads.
The SweatervestIf you're reading this, chances are that you've probably met a whole ton of different people while playing on the server. If not, or if you're just lazy and have nothing else to read, I have comprised a list of the eight different people you will meet on PerpHeads.
The most common, and classic stereotype in Paralake. These newbies originated their name from back in Evocity/Paralake v1, as new players were greeted with a colourful sweater vest over their shirt. Nowadays, these new players are recognised by their classic light grey sweater.
Danger Level: 3/5 These people can be extremely aggressive and tend not to read the rules or roleplay. If they get their hands on a bat or a machete, you can guarantee that they are going to go looking for someone to hit.
Roleplay Level: 1/5 Sweaters will rarely know how to roleplay properly on PerpHeads, which leads to so many sweaters being banned for infringements of the rules. Expect them to not comply with /me commands, and fail to co-operate under gunpoint.
The PassiveRPer
A rare species of player, as most fail to bother to even try PassiveRP. PassiveRP is the act of roleplaying calmly and slowly, using /me commands to your advantage. PassiveRP players have good intentions, but their efforts are commonly destroyed by administrators on the server (@MrLewis no ban plox)
Danger Level: 2/5 PassiveRPers generally have no bad intentions, unless you mess up their RP. The only exception is if the PassiveRP is ERP.
Roleplay Level: 5/5 These guys always find a way to make any stall, from pasta to security selling, their roleplay is outstanding, most of the time.
The Rich Kid
Cruising around in their Lamborghini, these are the ones you need to be afraid of. They have lots of big dosh, and usually have a vehicle which looks good, travels fast and is going to beat your Mini Cooper. They have at least $2M in their bank account, and will generally base at the Regals or the Suburb Houses 1-3. They have access to hundreds of weapons in their storage trunks, making them the vehicles you really don't want to take your road rage out on.
Danger Level: 4/5 No doubt about it, these people are rich as fuck. They are minted with a supply of all types of weapons to make your life harder, so steer clear, and think twice before raiding.
Roleplay Level: 3/5 Rich kids generally have been on the server for a while to get that much money, so they will know how to roleplay properly. Don't expect them to come up and do some PassiveRP though, as they have their focus more towards ActiveRP, which is raiding, mugging and making money.
The Sweatercop
A mutation of the Sweatervest breed, these Sweatercops usually take the form of police officers, never with stripes on their arms for obvious reasons. They will end up breaking the laws, driving around recklessly and getting demoted or arrested by a supervisor. This is a less common breed of Sweatervest, as they usually don't pass the test. Don't be fooled at the word "Sweatercop" being used. It is commonly used as a derogatory term against LEOs - regardless of their competence.
Danger Level: 3/5 Akin to the Sweatervest, these people can be extremely aggressive and tend not to read the rules or roleplay. They already have access to a Beretta M9, and may use it in anxious situations where they are getting arrested/demoted/reprimanded.
Roleplay Level: 2/5 Sweatercops will commonly be told simple things when they make mistakes, and will usually get to understand some of the rules.
The Sweatermedic
Another additional breed of the Sweatervest, although these are found more commonly than the Sweatercop. Sweatermedics have little to no knowledge of the laws, rules and/or the Paralake City map, so be prepared. Their main purpose is to drive around without their headlights running red lights, failing to know where business is and running into people. They will end up breaking the laws, driving around recklessly and getting demoted or arrested by a supervisor, the same fate as the Sweatercop. If you see a Sweatermedic, try and help them with their job. Send them a link to the Paralake City map, notify them about the rules and laws then send them on their way. We all started like the Sweatermedic, and we were all taught how to get around by someone or other.
Danger Level: 2/5 Sweatermedics don't have any weapons, but tend to be atrocious at driving and this can lead to bad accidents on the highway.
Roleplay Level: 1/5 Sweatermedics will tend to just get on with their jobs, or at least try to with officers screaming down their mics "MEDIC RESPOND TO REGALS!!!" and "FOUR CHARGES NOT TWO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING DO YOUR JOB OR GET ARRRESSSTEDDD!!!!!!" Poor Medics.
The Sovereign Citizen
You can tell from the name that these people don't like the law. They are commonly arrested for valid reasons, but still hurl harrasment and threats against the LEO detaining them. This can be quite more intimidating to the new officers (see: sweatercop) and can result in violent outbursts.
Danger Level: 1/5 These pesky citizens won't stop hurling abuse, and when they've been defeated they will commonly get a longer jail sentence. However, the only real danger is hurting your feelings. Deal with these citizens by not responding to their harrasment and don't give them a reaction.
Roleplay Level: 2/5 Their roleplay level can vary. Most sovereign citizens are fairly new to the server, and do everything in their power to prove the officer wrong. Don't expect sovereign citizens to comply with /me commands (e.g. /me forces suspect inside vehicle), so call an administrator if they fail to comply with /mes.
The Helpless Mayor
The Helpless Mayor is formed when a breed of sweatervest comes across someone shouting "Run for mayor at the city hall". The sweatervest instinctively does it for the police slots (see: sweatercop) and get voted for mayor. Sadly, the poor sod has no idea what he is doing so he generally either cranks up the slots and gets arrested for 4.4, or cranks down the slots and gets arrested for 4.4.
Danger Level: 3/5 The Helpless Mayor has up to three SS agents at his disposal, and if confronted by the cops will usually order the SS to shoot at the police.
Roleplay Level: 2/5 He tries his best, but usually fails miserably and this results in an administrative situation.
The Robot
The Robot is a typical staff member who is not allowed to share their opinions on a rule break and allways has to act according to the textbook. These 'robots' generally ruin PassiveRP, or ban rule breakers properly and keep up a good record.
Danger Level: 5/5 These people know their shit. They are almost never wrong and you just can't get around them. They can dish out bans, warnings and blacklists with the smash of a hammer.
Roleplay Level: 4/5 Most staff have access to special props, and they can use these to their RP advantage. They also have a proper physgun, meaning that they can snap things to axis and make something look alot neater. However, some staff members seem to enjoy destroying PassiveRP (@MrLewis plox no warn).
