    DarkRP General Questions

    • How can you contribute to Aether?:I think I can contribute to aether by trying my best to answer tickets correctly and timely when players make them. Handling sits responsibly and with my best judgement. Answering questions and concerns that players may have. I also will try my best to make players feel welcomed and invited into this community.
    • Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible? (Yes/No)Half of them
    • Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to? (Yes/No):  Yes only if they are the owner
    • Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week? (Yes/No)No

    DarkRP Rule Questions

    • Raids can last how long?:From the time raid is adverted the raiders have 10 minutes to complete the raid.
    • What initiates a raid?:/raid or /pd raid, depending on if the pd is being raided or if you are just raiding a base
    • If the owner of the base is standing outside as you're about to raid, can you kill them?:Yes if they are standing close enough where they can interfere with the raid. 
    • List 3 default Laws of The Land: Shooting in public is illegal, Murder is illegal, and Threats are illegal.
    • How many bases can you own per party?:1
    • A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?:Verbally warn them to cooperate and if that does not work I would make their punishment harsher than originally intended.
    • You see another staff member abusing their power (Give an example of a staff abusing and how you would handle it/who you would contact):If I see a staff member abusing their power I would record the last 20 minutes with shadow play then start recording. I would then message Jouaram on discord with evidence of the abuse. Examples of staff abuse include but are not limited to. Using Noclip to go inside a base and steal money from printers, using god mode during a raid, and teleporting other players inside someone's base.
    • A player is excessively RDMing/RDAing and breaking NLR (What is RDM/RDA and NLR? How do you determine if a player is breaking any of these?):RDM Random Death Match Killing someone without a valid rp reason. I can determine if it was rdm or not by checking if they shot at someone first, checking if they were killed for a hit, and checking if they were warned to stop following someone. RDA Random Arrest is arresting someone without a valid rp reason. I can determine if it was rda or not by checking damage logs to see if they killed someone nearby and checking if they were wanted. NLR New Life Rule is a rule stating that when you are killed you can not go back to that location for 3 minutes and the rp scenario that you and whoever killed you were in ends, there are 2 exceptions to this rule, 1 You can come back to where you were killed if you are 100% sure that you were rdmed, 2 If you were killed in a raid you can come back after 3 minutes and continue defending your base, I can determine if nlr was broken by checking the locations of the player being accused of breaking nlr.

    If Jouaram wants a money making job that is actually fun and not just mindlessly afking or doing the same exact thing for hours on end, he needs to include player interaction in the process.

     

    EX: Hitman, Gun Dealer, and PD are probably the most fun jobs to play. They all make really bad money but what makes them fun is the player interaction involved. You get to RP and have fun with other people.

    Now take the opposite, and the jobs that make the most money have 0 player interaction thus making you miserable if you want to make money.

     

    Solution is combining the two. Add something that entices player interaction and sparks RP scenarios that also provides a decent cash flow intake.

     

    I've also suggested in the past capitalizing on these jobs like Hitman. Such as rewarding additional money/XP if it is a kill from behind, a headshot, ranged kill, ETC.

    For PD, you could get a bonus if there are a low amount of deaths recently committed by non PD. Or you could get a bonus for making 3 arrests within 15 minutes. (Keep that number low around 3 so that people aren't incentivized to RDA. 3 is not hard at all in 15 minutes but encourages police to be out on the streets going for the arrest.)

     

    Not only can we add new jobs that incentivize and reward player interaction, we can adjust the ones that currently don't.

     

    It was a past problem with even RetributionRP, I consider it a cancer to DarkRP. When we're buffing and pushing players into jobs like bitcoin miner where you just afk and don't ever leave your base, that is the most boring garrys mod experience ever. Yesterday we had 40 people on and only had maybe 5-10 people actually out of their bases on the streets. Not because people want to be inside their base instead of having fun interacting with others, but because they NEED to if they wanna make any sort of money whatsoever. 

    I've always encouraged pushing players to get out of their bases and go interact with each other. Right now I'd say people spend 8/10 of their time in their base and 2/10 of it outside before going right back in. Even just rationalizing that number to somewhere around 50/50 would be far better for the server
