Suggestion Topic: 3.4 Putting your Life at Risk
Suggestion Description: Make mugging more realistic.
We must acknowledge the lack of realism in how mugging puts risks unto the victims when they are in superior numbers and armed, while there might only be a single mugger.
I have gone into conversation with an admin on if and when it is accepted to retaliate when there's a mugging taking place, to my surprise the rule is that if the mugger has a line of sight on any number of victims be it from 1 to 3, the number itself is irrelevant since the mugger holds absolute ruling in the circumstance. While it is understandable that two people can be mugged at the same time since it is easy to keep that number under control so long as both people are in the line of sight and order is given to stay still, when the number people being mugged goes beyond that is where it becomes increasingly unrealistic especially if the people in question are armed.
Inevitably my proposal is that when there are numbers superior at least by two (2) people compared to the mugger and their group, that realistically speaking it is entirely understandable that the group with larger numbers would retaliate in order to keep their possessions instead of conforming to the demands of a group holding smaller threat. It does also beg to question how realistic it can be for a single mugger to in a situation to successfully mug a group of lets say six (6) people within an enclosed space such as the storage, this does not conform with any figure of realism nor the theme of the RP being about hardened criminals.
In which case it can be argued that it is the mugger that is placing their own life and well-being at increased risks rather than the other way around when confronting a group of three or larger while two (2) players are arguably already an admirable mugging endeavor to take on, it is entirely unreasonable for players moving in twos or larger groups to assume they can be at the mercy of a single mugger that can essentially be armed with nothing else than a Walther PPK not to mention how grossly outgunned a lesser number of muggers can be in front of a more well-armed organization group.
I motion that the muggers must follow realistic rules of engagement and that there is no oversight on what is considered realistic and not.
Why should this be added?:
- Increased mugging realism
What negatives could this have?:
- Rule abusers will whine
