I don’t see any problem with the rules in their current state. With this rule in place it allows role play negotiations to take place but removing this rule will make it so people take the easy way and just shoot a hostage straight up.

Why not. Cheers, Western.

Addition: Hello again, We missed something small whilst posting which was the actions of @ScarRP. As we can see by the logs, he was kicked from the server 4 minutes subsequently to the situation. Even though it was a kick, we can see no attempt was made to join back. We understand the server was laggy, but crashes happen and you do need to make an effort to join back. In the future, if you keep trying to no avail of joining back, contact a staff member. In this case since no attempt was made, you will be issued a Combat Log punishment. You can see the other party made an effort to try and join back, it's only fair everyone does the same. We apologize for missing this off the main verdict and we will do our best so that it does not occur again. Additional outcome: @ScarRP | Combat Logging | 3 Day Ban, 1 Banstrike Signed by @Sleepyhead & @Descendants.

Hi everyone, We've decided to issue a verdict for this report. We've reviewed the footage and all the POVs involved. Summing up the situation briefly, the OP came across the accused in Vybor Industrial. Some interaction occurred and we start from where the video picks off. The OP is supposedly talking in a foreign language and is then initiated on by the accused. They transport him down and receive shots, they then execute the hostage for non-compliance. The Accused: You took Onion hostage which is completely fine. You were transporting him down and requested he runs faster, which he replied with he can't due to carrying capabilities preventing him from doing so. You then tell him to drop his armour in which he did so. You say that he wasn't compliant but we see the hostage being fully compliant throughout the situation. The reasoning for you to execute him was based off the fact you were taking shots. Multiple of you in Teamspeak/Discord state "Shoot the hostage" when the shots endured. This is a rulebreak. You then tell Onion to tell them to stop shooting otherwise he would die, when you took his radio. Unless he developed the skill of telepathic communication, he isn't able to. It's your responsibility to get him to a semi secure area so that you can either fend out and kill the assailants or take his radio and do hostage negotiations. He was fully compliant and it was not a valid reason for killing him. @Challenger It was you that decided to blast him away at (03:19) of the video. You were told by your allies to execute him so they are partially to blame for, but you committed the actions. Had you been aware of the rules in the first place, you would have known that your actions were wrong and you would not have committed the rulebreak. You will be receiving a 3 day ban and 1 banstrike. A verbal warning extends to the rest of your group too due to the terrible organization and general rule knowledge. We hope you learn from this and do not want to see actions like this again. The OP: Looking at the start of the video, your actions were questionable to say the least. The accused is attempting to communicate you and you're literally spewing out gibberish, preventing any development to occur. Had there have been an actual reason for this, may it be that you were mocking them or something along the lines, we may have been more tolerable towards it. But the fact remains in your POV you stated the following: It wasn't a foreign language at all. Your actions were borderline trolly and the reasoning for it was poor as anything. You knew you weren't speaking a foreign language and had you actually had a better reasoning for it, then we could of perhaps seen the reasoning for it. But, for the reasons stated above, you will be receiving a BadRP punishment. We'd suggest to you to use the chat to portray an Armenian character like the following: Jesus: *Speaks in Armenian* You are a fat dick. *He would glance towards them.* This is a better way of following it out. Please don't act like that again. Outcome: @OnionRP | BadRP | Guilty - 5 Day Ban, 1 Banstrike @Challenger | Invalid Kill - Roleplayed | Guilty - 3 Day Ban, 1 Banstrike Signed off by @Sleepyhead, @DrMax & @Descendants.

You’ve recently just had a group archived, you’ll have to wait unfortunately. /Archived.

It’s a game mechanic, and I don’t see why it should be removed. No from me.

Logs will be posted shortly, but just wanted to ask a few things. @Nightwing How long was it prior that you were supposedly with your allies IG? @Ron @ScarRP Do you have any more video evidence which extends prior to this situation? Thanks.

I'll put this in a safe place for you guys, sad to see this shelved. If you want it back, you know what to do. /Places on shelf.

Hi all, A team of staff have reviewed this case and have come to a suitable conclusion regarding it. To summarize the situation concisely, the OP was met with a car driving along the road. They pulled over to the side, combat rolled out and initiated on the OP's party. They decided not to comply which resulted in their swift defeat. We don't see anything wrong with this encounter. There are accusations for BadRP against the accused, but there was no chance for them to preform since their initiation resulted in non-compliance. Had the OP's side complied, you would be able to judge their roleplay far better. @BudFather If you had been taken hostage by them and they decided to make deer noises and run around in the nude, then that'd be BadRP. You were quick to say that their actions were poor when you restricted them with the chance to properly interact with you. We're not having a go saying you shouldn't have fought back since everyone has that option to, unless it's NVFL, but you took the risk of getting blown away. For the reasons above, we will not be issuing any punishments to anyone involved. Outcome: No rulebreaks, no action taken. Signed by @Jamie, @Sleepyhead & @Descendants

I disagree on the not moving part. We do the text initiations so that people can hear the initiation, and if they can clearly hear it when the car is turned off, then text shouldn't be required. If the engines on, then I'm fine with both. We've had cases before where people have clearly heard the initiation and decided not to comply, but then make a report afterwards because they died and use the rules against them saying they didn't do a text initiation.

We're on stable and are using our own modpack. Check this out.

As far as I'm aware, we're not doing any backups or anything of the sort. We're advising people to wait until 1.0 to begin building bases since they are very buggy right now. As of this post, you can run through the buildings, some structures get lost of restart etc etc. I'd suggest to wait until 1.0 hits at the end of the week.

It's good to see DayZ leaving early access.

It's up now supposedly.
