Event chat

[Husky]

Main idea: Adding a /event chat

Description: A different coloured chat (orange in the picture below) to allow for the players to get involved by staff made events, this can range from a variety of things but would only be given to whatever staff rank Senior Administration chooses. It's been on <redacted> since I joined and has been key to roleplay, it alerts players to things going on and a ton more.

Pros:

• More Roleplay
• Better Roleplay

Cons:

• Staff unable to roleplay due to lack of experience actually roleplaying

Would be good if and when there are Roleplay events, but people just want Gungame 247 instead of it being a 'Roleplay' Server.

I believe RP tools are limited, not surprised that RP is all about gunplay when guns are so unique and good.

 

[The HitMan]

They are and having events 247 when no-one asks for them disrupts the server and makes people join and leave once they are finished instead of staying.

@The HitMan Events such as Gun game, bat events etc are dog shit and not roleplay. They should be only scheduled and announced every few weeks or so, this new system allows for more rp.

 

[The HitMan]

@Husky Yet that's all people want, Remember when events were once a month or more, much better than 2 days in a row.

God this idea takes me back to WW3RP. Was great to sit in a guard tower for 10 mins then suddenly see “A presidential helicopter escorted by 2 apaches circles over the NATO base, the black presidential helicopter begins to land on the landing pad” and then see a floating helicopter model being physgunned in noclip flop down onto the base.

Would love to see this, both a “local“ one and entire server wise. (Although local could be done with /desc)

This is something I have wanted for a long time. We tried to run a couple of rp events a while back and it went good and seemed like people enjoyed them.
I think we must stop having gun games everyday... these should be done during the weekend when announced.

I think we should look at adding rp based events like the one @The HitMan suggested, and also add a /event command to be able to just create random rp events when appropriate.

I’ve asked @Madda if this should be added, he was unsure. But I’m moving this to Accepted, if SA are wiling at some point to make up random events I will add the command. Until then I will try to create rp events, so please. Suggest some!
