To simplify it here are the new rules: 1. In order to call thermals you need to a reason, such as you see CI. A CI raid is no longer a reason to activate thermals. 2. Blanket adverts (things such as saying Thermals (MTF/CI/966/etc...)) are no longer allowed. 3. If 1 MTF/CI activate thermals all of them have thermals, conversely if 1 person de-activates thermals (and you have to advert de-activation) all MTF no longer have thermals. 4. You have to de-activate thermals the second that the reason you adverted thermals is over.

The new rule that Rookie just released is much much better than a 3 minute expiration. This suggestion is no longer necessary.

The MOTD already states this. This rule seems unnecessary, -support.

And for MTF stealth ops if the inverse were placed in effect.

This is the current system for O9, and I’d say it works well. I believe it should apply to NU7 as well. +support

Okay, for those unaware, fearRP cannot be put in effect if combat has already started (meaning shots fired). The idea behind the rule for combatants is that if CI/MTF sneak up behind you then you wouldn’t, realistically, have time to turn around and shoot, and you should value your life. -support because you can shoot CI before they’re in fearRP range.

Yea sure. Sadly it’ll never happen, sir.

-support I’d rather see the sniper/SM get a level 3 card because a pro cracker can get through a level 2 door in 10 seconds and that’s fairly strong.

What are you suggesting? - a change to the current rules regarding the timed C4, making it so that you can set it to a minimum of 5 seconds compared to 10. How would this change better the server? - while I understand why it can’t be set to 0, since suicide bombing isn’t allowed, to me it doesn’t make sense why you can’t set it to 5 seconds, especially since this would allow for it to be used in similar fashion to a slam or allow pushes to be made a second quicker if you’re using it to do something like blow up EZ armory and then enter. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - could result in a more offensive use compared to its purpose of being a defense oriented item, or could result in more suicide bombings Who would this change mostly benefit? - MTF Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - N/A

Also John Newman just got banned for an unrelated offense, so I imagine that this post is no longer necessary

DENIED Sorry, but community blacklist's are no longer appealable. You may not attempt to appeal this again!

My dude you were community blacklisted. Those are non-appealable.

I mean why wouldn’t they shoot at you, especially if it’s a gun. -support

Maybe it was an honest mistake, and that’s valid, but the way that you spoke to Blue Bird is, in my eyes, kind of unacceptable for a staff member. You were rude and pushy making comments such as, “don’t tell me what to do, you break the rules all the time,” etc. You shouldn’t do that.

Yea no offense, but this just ain’t it chief.

While I personally believe that Maynard should have a level 4, to quote Igneous, “[Maynard does] not need access to the PK room.” The only level 4 door is the PK room, so you don’t really need one, also other level 4 foundation classes such as RFA don’t get a level 4 because they aren’t allowed in the PK room. It is standard procedure to give MTF officers level 4 keycards (O9 and E11 already gave them), so I don’t believe Nu7 should be left out.

I mean the issue is we already have too many MTF branches, and the stats you gave would make them weaker than d-class so they would get shredded instantly. It would be a cool event, but I don’t think it would work as a full fledged branch

I mean it’s standard procedure for the officer class to get level 4, and it’s a branch heads decision if they give their enlisted cross arm sweps.

The best system, in my opinion, is that if you aren’t under fearRP and someone is threatening you with a weapon (ie a d-class with a knife saying “open this door or I’ll stab you!”) would qualify as a threat. So the rule should be, being shot at, cuffed, or threatened by a weapon (while not under fearRP). Otherwise I’d say +support

First of all you didn’t follow the proper ban format (found here), secondly you have 5 bans on record and a total of 22 warns. (warns/bans here), with multiple player/staff dis warns including telling players to “kill themselves,” or homophobic slurs. I don’t know what happened until @Calamity gives their side, but it looks to me that your ban was deserved.

-support Here’s some context, The pro cracker used to be a flat 15 seconds compared to the regular being 30. Then the system was changed so it’s 5 seconds per clearance level vs 7. 10 seconds to open a level 2 door is very strong. Buffing it any more would make it near impossible to prevent d-class/CI breaching everything. What I would support instead is making it 5 seconds for the pro and 10 for the normal so then we go back to the old numbers of 15 vs. 30 seconds to get through a checkpoint, but I imagine this would be universally hated by those who use keypad crackers. The current system is fine.

+support Aren’t comms taught during training tho? I thought comms and radio were taught at the same time.

For this reason -support
