Rule Suggestion (5.3 Raiding)

[Cody Sharpe]

Suggestion Topic: 5.3 Raiding
Suggestion Description: A raider (or a raiding PD officer) should NOT be allowed to use the chat box to communicate. It needs to be verbally spoken over in game microphone.

Why should this be added?:
- consider this: you are in your base currently cooking meth. this takes concentration to keep it within the 190-199 threshold in order to maximize speed of production. someone lockpicks your door, the alarm doesn't go off. you are too concentrated to be able to look at the chat box to see either a plpd callout or a raider saying hands up, and suddenly BOOM! dead. it's unfair, not to mention unrealistic. raiders should be required to use voice chat at all times when raiding to give orders.

What negatives could this have?:
-players with no microphone can not raid. already in the rules though that you must have a working microphone.

For the PD side of this as per policy everyone needs to have a working mic when on duty. If they aren't I'd recommend contacting a supervisor and if one isn't able to filing a complaint via PLPD.online I know officers will use their mics and also have a /yell announcement bind ready to go for any situation that its needed which is allowed

As Caveric said, officers are meant to have mics but many have yell binds also. This being said, they still aren’t allowed to shoot you unless you have your gun aimed at them.

On the crim side of things, you also can’t shoot someone unless you’re sure they’re not afk so you need to be moving around and actively ignoring their commands, I really don’t think it’s that hard to see their messages and unless you’re staring into a wall ignoring the world going on around you.

I don’t see why people without mics should be stopped from playing a big part of the game. From your suggestion they would literally only be allowed to grow, craft and do government jobs.

I remember there was no rule requiring users to have a microphone only the requirement to hear others. PD require a working microphone but are not required to use it 24/7. Plus this would stop a large portion of players actually doing anything in perp. Chat is clear enough and not hard to miss if you are actually paying attention

"staring into a wall ignoring the world around you" is exactly what i have to do when cooking meth, in order to keep it within the range that i've found most efficient (192-198). you need to be CONSTANTLY swapping from level 3 to 4 burner and back. i have no time to look away. one misstep and BOOM, my whole table and me goes up in an explosion.
