Gentlemen,
As you may or may not have seen some hotfixes hit the Rules, and I was pretty happy to see [SP] take up the new Bank Declaration. If you haven't seen the changes there in the Rules under Bank Rules, and City Limits has a map for Sydney.
This leads me to my next point. Once a situation has started, I feel like the forces deployed should be it. It shouldn't be a case of people logging on can join in any situations underway, and that doing so straddles a fine line.
A sudden influx is unfair, and when it's players in TS/On Steam/on forums then it ties into using things outside the game world to impact favourably for your team. That's almost the definition of meta gaming, taking things your character should not know and having them affect your actions, logging on, or off, or heading somewhere.
So I wanted to invite discussion on this.
1) When a situation (Bank, Fed, Hostages, whatever) is underway, should it be a breaking of rules and RP to go to it?
2) What constitutes the start? Is it when you hit the Rob Teller? Is it when shots are fired?
Discuss below. Open forum, keep it polite and on topic. Interested in all opinions, Rebel, Cop, EMS, Help Desk, Cartel.
