Removal of Raid rule 14.5

[User 12049]

In relation to the op, the whole point of being a criminal is to be inconspicuous - you obviously wouldn't want the law enforcers to have information on your operation, would you?

Your point is valid however, this is not the server you're playing on. This is semi-serious, I don't see you complaining that you can spawn a car from mid-air, you can pull any amount of ammo from your back pocket, that you know how to use a medic kit, that you won't die from being shot in the head etc. Your view contradicts how the server is run and with the point you have made I don't understand why you would be playing on the server considering there are loads of things that are unrealistic.

You wouldn't parade outside of your HQ armed to the teeth with lead propellers in the faces of the government*, because it simply compromises your objective to make a profit out of circumventing the laws of the land. You would want to remain as hidden and covert as possible, which is why this rule is completely justified and prudent.

Who says that we are wanting to make profit? This is a very big assumption and the reason for having guns on display is different depending on the situation. I choose to have my guns on display to defend my profit. How is defending my property unjustified and prudent?

I do accept there have been exceptions in real life, however this is either down to criminal stupidity or extreme mastermind planning, both of which are an outlier on the normal spectrum.

This is yet again your assumptions. Equally, how is it not our mastermind planning? I personally am yet to lose a defense at slums which shows my 'mastermind planning'? Just because something doesn't lie on the normal spectrum doesn't mean that it's unrealistic. This is a game, in real-life I don't own a gas mask, in fact I would say it is 'an outlier[sic] on the normal spectrum.' but yet again you seem perfectly fine with this.

If you consider either of these to be relevant to your roleplay, contact and administrator and they could potentially loosen the rule considering your circumstance and roleplay you were planning on doing.

I would prefer the rule to be removed completely as no paper and infraction would lead to banning and no admin would allow someone to break a rule as that would be improper administration especially for agressiveRP.

As for your claim of this being a 'semi-serious- roleplay server, yes, you are correct. However as stated above in this post, I believe the exclusion of this rule moves us more towards the boundary of non-serious roleplay, as the actions perceived have no justification to the cause of the organisation or any fundamental roleplay value that would enhance the server's objective, unless you actually do.

How does it not? The rule has not been in place for 5 years and yet you haven't cared? How could you even make such a statement? Have you considered FL non-serious roleplay for 5 years then?
