Well the thing is:
Get experienced roleplayers as a hossie.
I have had fun hossieing people like Mexxo(New player, experienced roleplayer), Jonis, Jotada, Yuskorov, JM42 and Tango.
Bassically what I am saying, Despite being friends with your friends in rea llife. It doesnt hurt to hossie them in game. Roleplayed well adds alot of fun.
I understand that there are many newbys to the server, even minges, that rdm frequently, but the key is to find those roleplaying, stalk them, and snatch them. Thats how I do, I sometimes stand in bank, to see who roleplays or not. I try to kidnap those roleplayers later on.
I have seen you complain about being hossied for 2000 dolalrs.
That is nothign compared to what some do.
2000 dollars is not much at all.
If you want to actually profit on money ,start a shop... dont just stand there doing nothing, or randmly running around.
Also, A mayor, which I consider doing good, gets the mob angry at him(the undergrounds.) That is what often happens because you dont order your cops, let alone demote your cops if they do not follow your orders...
Remember: It goes like this: Commander orders cops: You can deny that order. If you have 10 officers, get two to stay with you, or guard you,
Never ever accepts people as guests without confirming who he is. If he isnt a metagamer, he will be searched for weaponry, and will not be able to kill you. Also, Request a door to be made at the hall way towards the lift, keep garage door always close, and only give out code in secure places.
A limit on hostaging people will RUIN hostaging...
I really dont see your point in that. I really think since you complain about 2000 dollars, ( it isnt much, believe me..) this game istn for you.
This is your quote about complaining bout a 2000 loss... This isnt serious rp as said, and shouldnt be changed.
Ow god.. Really, more hostage siturations happens in VM than on the real earth.. Get a new way of making money for fuck sake .. I'm so darn sick of that i can't walk down the street, or stop my car whitout getting hostaged .. And don't come with the excuse "I RP'd it out" becaouse you know what? You allways fucking role-play on the internet! It's just a matter of how you RP! And i don't care if you RP'd it out well .. then it shuold be really well atleast, and the demand shouldent allways be money .. specially not from the person it self, but from friends or so.
I don't think it had happened once that the hostage taker had other demands than money? Really, no one goes and hostage the mayor with the goal to broadcast a message? No.
No one hostage fx the bank, to you know, spread a gang word to the streets? spread fear? No, everyone hostage for a fucking 2k, and it's fucking annoying!
Sorry for the swearing
