Eliminate the Bandit/PK'r Advantage

[fish911503 136]

Example:

I am killed by another player...I'm prompted on screen...."you were killed by xyz".

Now if I choose to I can go to website and "report" the murder.

Once a murderer gets a certain number of reported murders (negotiable) they are from then on "Identified" in some way as a murderer in game.

This is not the dev's or the game punishing you for how you play it is the community.

This player "rap sheet" could reset itself every 48 hours or so, so a player would have to commit a high number of murders within a short time to be flagged. But once you are flagged it sticks.

You are allowed an appeal (To the community, not the dev's)

I don't see this as putting a bandit at a disadvantage. I see it as removing a bandits advantage.

Its a tool. Just as a sniper rifle is a tool with which you can kill an unarmed, non-aggressive player

from 400 meters (or whatever). This is a tool with which the community, if it so chooses, can punish unethical behavior.

I do not see how this conflicts with the goal of the game....provide the tools and let the players create the world

I do not see how this threatens pvp. It simply balances it

And it fits perfectly with the developers plans to incorporate the website into game play.

I'm open

Punishing someone for playing a certain way is not the way to go

We already have this system and it is annoying as shit to continuously read about people whining that they got killed. I'll pass on making this a key part of the game.

If you don't want to die either run faster or shoot back. It has been said about 50,000,000 times that people will not be punished for how they play. It doesn't matter if that punishment comes from Rocket, or you. It is still punishing people.

OP, don't you think that a public listed kill counter might encourage endless griefing in the name of claiming the "Bandit King" title?

[fish911503 136]

The reading comprehension skills of those who replied (5 people :sigh:) is really discouraging. Basically my suggestion is a watered down bandit skin. I hardly see how this "punishes" wanton murdering. And I don't care if it actually encourages murdering....because contrary to popular (slow witted) belief i am not asking for anyone to to put an end to pvp or murdering. Its just a request to bring back bandit skins but in a slightly more thoughtful way. But as usual its just the obligatory thoughtless accusations of me being a cry baby and sucking at the game :sigh: Its soo pathetic. The PK'rs and bandits in this community always claim they are a tiny minority but it's obvious by the mindless hysterical opposition to any bandit ID system that hey are the majority. I suppose i shouldn't be suprised...something nice was given to the monkees to do with as they pleased and they shit and pissed on it and destroyed it. Nothing new :) Selfish entitled little pricks whith zero regard for anyone outside their little click. Just like real life...disgusting.

Your so full of shit. You(or the people you defend) have no qualms about saying to someone. "Hey if you play passively then you get what you deserve". That is YOU deciding to punish someone for their play style....so fuck off with your fail logic hypocrite bullshit. And my suggestion was not for a place to come and whine about being killed. But maybe you're in like sixth grade and don't have alot of experience with reading comprehension. (Or maybe you're a complete fucking retard :)) Either way. Im not asking for a tool to fix "getting killed" shithead. I'm asking for a tool that will possibly discourage folks from working in teams to camp an area indiscriminately killing every soul they see just for shits and giggles. That's my request OK ALL YOU FUCKING MURDOCH DOUCHBAGS. Not for someone to save me from getting killed. Get it through your thick fucking malformed skulls. You see the problem is...When your arguments are not based in logic, and you just keep talking, eventually you have nothing to stand upon and you fall. So all you imbeciles who accuse me of being a pussy who wants rocket to hold my hand KEEP TALKING. I will take each one of you apart piece by piece and expose you for the fucking idiots you are, Have a nice life

Foul langauge/abusive towards other members.

Whoa calm down dude, i haven't seen a reply with such offensive language in a while.

If you are going to post a suggestion on this bit of the forum then you will have to defend your argument against people making counter arguments.

You have to agree that we are currently getting a large number of new posts about systems against killing. Well the killing is a large part of the game and

probably one of the biggest highlights for people playing it so making a suggestion for a system that (even if you say it doesnt) still creates a sort of penalty for

player killing, people who will respond to that in kind.

Don't get yourself a warning by replying in this matter to a post you yourself started, the forum ops already get this to much and will really laude level headed people.

i don't really understand this :(

[heretic (DayZ) 76]

I think that a "wanted" board would be a good idea. And could be community driven.

The only problem being that a player can change their ARMA2 profile and bam! They've got a new name.

Beanz to you OP.

And don't let the griefers get you down! Either in game or on the forums.

You're right thanks. I am open to suggestions and willing to defend against counter arguments. But there are none. Only ungrounded accusations a complete non-sense. What I am offering a suggestion for is the fact that so many people are now just killing indiscriminately for fun. The replies are in essence...shut up, someones butt hurt, go play an easier game. I am making a suggestion that i havent heard before in the system i laid out. I am trying to something good for the game. I am met with nothing but hostility and trite dismiss. I m so fucking sick of it Sorry. I am not oppposed to killing another player if you need or even want their supplies. But the indiscriminate killing needs to be addressed. As for my rage. there is so much ignorance and hypocracy in the world. I feel the need to rage against it.

What does laude mean? to recognize?

Well nothings perfect......thanks for the beans I was starving

[fish911503 136]

i don't really understand this :(

Its not even a punishment really. I mean it does not effect their ability to kill or adversely change their game at all. If any thing, if im recon'ing an area i can go whoa theres bad peeps down there. Ill wait here till they go. Whats the problem with that? How is that a punishment? seriously? I am not asking rhetorically. Someone who opposes this please answer those questions. How is it punishment inso far as how is it a detriment to your in game experience?

[Badhaggis 40]

People get pissed off if it looks like their playstyle will be nerfed, TBH if you look at Fort Friendly thats a good way of dealing with bandits, survivors need to team up agains bandits.

Thanks looks cool...my internet is too slow to play on that server though. Ill look for something different. I don't play the game alot. A few hours a couple of times a week is all. But a place like this is encouraging.

[fish911503 136]

Thats funny. I haven't started cutting myself yet....mmm that's not funny

[fish911503 136]

Heres another suggestion you will all love. Get rid of all rifles...only handguns.

Dude, half of the suspense of the game is wondering whether the guy across the street will shoot you. If you see they have a bandit skin, then it takes all the mystery out of it. Also, some people got fucked by the bandit skin since they were shot at, the person shooting them missed, and they shot back and didn't. So they got a murder even though it was self-defense. The bandit skin was removed, and rocket said it was the wrong direction since it forced people to play a certain way or become a target.

Plays the intelligence card, can't spell monkeys. Before you criticize anyone about intelligence, go through your post and look for typos and mistakes. That way you look less like an angry twelve-year-old.
