10.1) Mugging

[SpartanofSparta]

They removed the cap after they added banking as a feature. If you're carrying cash on you, it's free game as far as I'm concerned. I carry spare change on me if I carry cash at all.

This is why you got security companies, again, people failing to understand to roleplaying in a roleplaying game.

If you win a million dollars then you can probably afford a few thousand dollars to hire a security guard or two to escort you out of the casino to the bank at minimum. It's dumb enough you carry a whole million in cash with you. Rather than limiting what people can rob others for, people should simply be smarter. If anything, ask for a transfer at the casino instead or such. Getting followed from a casino or a bank on your way to home isn't exactly uncommon, as much as I dislike the way robberies go on this server.

10.1) Mugging

It is only permitted to /rob or /mug another player for the items they have on themselves at the current time, this does not require admin permission unless within a Restricted Crime Zone. Players may not rob/force other players to withdraw money from the bank or an ATM. Debit cards/credit cards also fall into this subject.


So I've a friend who was robbed outside of a casino for 1M+ in money and I think there should be some means of getting that money back. Seems silly I can camp outside casino's (apparently not against the rules) and just mug people walking out with loads of money in the first place. Let alone the fact that if, from my understanding, if I was robbed for let's say 1,000,000 after a successful day at the casino; there's nothing I can do to get that money back if they bank it.

I think there should be some possible means of getting back the money so robbers can't just jack thousands if not millions in cash and the only repercussion's is a PK, potentially a CK if you really wanted to spend the time on that. I think you should at the very least be able to force those who stole from you to withdraw from a bank or ATM and pay back what was stolen. Obviously they can just stash the money in a house or give it to a friend or whatever. It just seems incredibly cheesy you can rob someone of 1Mil and if they banked it, it's forever gone and no means of getting it back.

Would like people's thoughts on this or something similar. Or just any means of combatting this, whatever works.
 

I somewhat agree.

 

Don't think people should be limited to taking advantage of those stupid enough to walk out with 1m, but I also think those who steal 1m shouldn't be able to bank it immediately.

 

Obviously in real life this would cause a major red flag in any banking system and a lot of questions would be asked.

 

So forcing the players to store large amounts in safe's or stashes is better in my opinion, gives you the chance to get your money back if smart enough or if they left a trail.

 

I think the server should really be flagging bank transactions more ICly, I'm not sure if there is one, but a department that specialises in banking forensics too, would lead to much more in depth crim RP.

Maybe if the service was of an okay+ quality, I'd consider it.

The IRS faction they tried doing was a complete flop, but I agree that people shouldn't be able to deposit large amounts of money like that, but currently there's really no alternative to it.

Didn't ever see it, is there an archive thread on it or some sort of guide on how it worked?

I don't believe so, it existed for a very short period.

It was a thing for such a short time you might as well claim it didn't exist.

If you win 1 million dollars at a casino you should have people to escort you out to wherever you need to go to deposit it. The problem is people don't see money as a valuable thing until they lose it. Anytime I have to transport anything above 100k with me I have a group of people to protect it, if you don't have a faction there are security companies, hell even the casino staff. You can wait in there until they close up and let their security escort you out, all of that creates more roleplay for everyone involved.
