Suggestion Topic: 2.1 Play Realistically
Suggestion Description: Checking if a weapon is "warm" is powergaming and unrealistic.
Why should this be added?:
Simply said, in most circumstances, it is not realistic at all. There are exceptions, for example, an assault rifle that has sustained well-over a couple of hundred rounds of sustained automatic fire.
The majority of weapons used that are checked to see if warm are handguns, these typically speaking, would not retain the heat from a spent casing or projectile under a long period of time, or at all for that matter, unless specific circumstances have been met (example being above), however there is literally no realistic circumstance a policeman is going to check somebody's AK47 to establish if it's hot due to the heat of the gas system parts after they've just shot up a load of people at the bank about five minutes ago.
It's stupid, it's dumb, it's unrealistic, and more importantly, is just powergaming, that his or her own action against another player character is successful without giving the other player character the freedom to act on his own prerogative. They may also be a player who tries to force others to participate in role-playing they don't want to engage in.
What negatives could this have?:
-
