Smidge Griffkin 154 Posted February 21, 2018 This post is kind of a build on @Vito's post regarding bank robberies etc. I had an idea in bed the other night and since he mentioned the bank/robberies ill put it out there. I was thinking maybe a couple of slots set aside for people to play as Bank security guards would be pretty cool to have, that way there is a first line of defense against bank robberies that isn't a fully armed gung-ho Blufor team. If the security guards fail in eliminating/subduing the threat, then Blufor should be allowed to storm the bank and KOS unless the robbers surrender. As with the checkpoints, sometimes server population and the situation at the time will determine whether or not Blufor can actually maintain a suitable presence in the area to effectively operate. Perhaps some rent-a-cops will take some of the pressure off Blufor at times and provide more RP opportunities for people. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canadianbacon22 32 Posted February 21, 2018 Having security at the bank has already been practiced before. While the idea of having slots for Guards is a good idea, I think it's a bit unrealistic because the entire idea behind robbing is the "shootout" betweens Cops and Robbers. I think the idea of a bank robbery is pretty ridiculous in the current server dynamic. PMC can be contracted to provide security at the bank. Of course, that would require some serious liaison between BLUFOR & the PMCs. I've done it before, and it's worked out pretty well. You just need enough PMCs and static emplacements to provide some decent cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ComradeCorbyn{Socialist} 57 Posted February 21, 2018 +1 PMC's kinda do this. But it should definitely be a thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lex_The_Great 32 Posted February 21, 2018 What is stopping you from being a civ, and guarding something?... RP is to be created by the player, you don't need a slot to be a bank robber do you? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smidge Griffkin 154 Posted February 21, 2018 @ComradeCorbyn{Socialist} More often than not the PMC's are robbing the damn thing or providing overwatch for the civs performing the robbery LOL. ... I don't know about you @canadianbacon22, but if im robbing the bank, im looking to steer clear of a shootout and focus more on getting that money out of Rasman. The loot is my priority as a burglar, not the thrill of the gunfight. There is technically nothing stopping anyone from joining civ and guarding the bank, and as you say @Lex_The_Great, the RP is to be created by the players(when does that happen?), but to be honest I have never witnessed players actively guarding the bank apart from Blufor. If this has been tried and tested in the past then by all means disregard my suggestion. I was unaware its been implemented before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lex_The_Great 32 Posted February 22, 2018 The server/mission/game is a tool. You use the tool to create RP. 1 hour ago, Smidge Griffkin said: the RP is to be created by the players(when does that happen?), I can remember a few times in the past when RP was created. The president was invited down to opfor base for peace talks, it was just a setup. He was corrupt (rp wise). The meeting place was full of IED's when him and his guards where inside we all ran and they exploded. It doesn't happen often, because the tool wasn't designed to enforce RP just promote it. There is nothing stopping you from RP'n as the bank owner though. Could charge people for protection like the mafia. Could ask blufor if they are looking for bank guards maybe they will even pay you?

Im preety sure there will be assholes cops preventing a civ from guarding the bank. Edited February 22, 2018 by Abel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gen Richotvz 25 Posted February 22, 2018 Bank is to be protected by the Blufor, you should be able to choose how you deal with the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
