As SMT said since I was the negoatior first off it is COMMON SENSE as it is in the MOTD. Next you seemed like you were stalling negotiation as staff was there and we waited 5 or so minutes for a clear explanation to it. It just seemed like you wanted to waste everyone's time at the scene, NOW I am not saying you WERE DOING SO I am just saying my thought process during that negotiation.
Phil's Statement on your warn if you have already not read it, it's pretty straight forward
This really falls under Common sense, if during the negations you agreed for money for the hostage you should be letting them go. We don't have every rule written down, but this is a roleplay server and you're meant to act as you would in real life.
Since I didn't also respond to your statement on the player report : It isn't a rule to give over the hostage after I get money, but Mini Epic wanted to argue with me, so I asked a staff member to confirm.
A: No I did not want to argue with you at all, I was just stating "Give me the money, it is common sense since you dropped the money." You didn't follow that simple statement so you proceeded to make a arugement that made JMT get involved.
(Link to your player report) Also to say, metagaming with thirdperson is very common and honestly the entire server would get warned if we did enforce that simple use that was put into the server by SMT. Thank you
