Clarification about the new missions and server rules [20 August 2012]

[Lindsey]

Just read it.

   
• Deathmatching (killing others) is never allowed on server regardless of the situation. Players who abuse the spraycan to defend their armored van will be banned as per usual.
• Carjacking is only allowed for thieves who are attempting to steal the loaded armored vans. Thieves can see loaded armored vans on the map as red icons.
• Armored convoy members cannot ram thieves to help out their convoy or friends, they may only ram the thieves to protect themselves and themselves only. Loaded armored van drivers who are ramming thieves not for their own self-defense will subject to the server rules (intentional ramming).
• Thieves may only ram loaded armored vans in order to attempt to hijack them. Ramming off-duty armored van drivers is still considered intentional ramming.
• Do not restore your armored van until the thief has finished with it, either by completing the mission, failing the mission or leaving the server by any means. The script should now prevent securicars currently being stolen from being restored.
• Thieves have the right to camp in preparation to steal a loaded armored van, providing they are not in armored van unload! Whether it is a tollbooth or fuel stations, they are allowed to camp.
• Cops are allowed to escort armored van driver(s). As quoted from Mick: "If thieves can camp, let money transport be escorted. This should deter thieves."
• Cops however are not allowed to ram or block thieves until they are wanted. You must wait until a thief becomes wanted before ramming or blocking the thief, otherwise your badge will be revoked due to violation of the cop rules.
• Thiefs are not allowed to use aircraft vehicles to stop securicar drivers. Diving into players will lead into a ban of 7 days or more, and using an aircraft to block the road or ramming purposes will lead into a license revoke/warn/ban.
• Securicar drivers are not allowed to /stopwork /cancel /kill or any other command used to fail the mission while being hijacked or attempted to. You chose to do securicar missions , the risk to being robbed is yours, do not cancel missions when being hijacked.

^{'armored van' refers to the vehicle 'Securicar' and vice versa.}

Something that I need to make clear to all players and staff:

I just wanted to clarify, that even though ramming and hijacking is not allowed normally, it is acceptable for hijacking armored vans by thieves, as well as blocking and ramming to stop it.

Also, if someone repeatedly gives up their armored van on purpose to the same thief, it is NOT considered farming. Farming is if his buddy cop follows him and doesnt arrest him.
Having friend start an armored van mission to hijack him is an acceptable way of doing this thief mission.

It is confirmed by Mick himself that it's allowed to give up your armored van repeatedly to a thief and that it is not considering farming as the thief still needs to get away from cops, and still needs to complete the mission.
