This all started with a question I had a while ago in regards to facing off against a bounty hunter when you have an active bounty on you. Suggestion: Players who have an active bounty can KOS Bounty Hunters I find it odd how this isn't allowed at all unless the BH has already dealt damage to you. Given that players can KOS the PD if they try to arrest them, I think it's more than reasonable to say that the same logic can be applied to a role who's whole purpose is to kill you rather than arrest you. There are plenty of moments when you go downtown with an active bounty and a BH walks up to you, dlore at the ready. With how the rules are currently, you would be in the wrong and potentially reported for RDM (if the Bounty Hunter so pleases) if you killed them before they can try anything. You know why they're approaching you, yet you can't do anything more than run/jump around, hoping they hit you in a way that doesn't kill you before you're finally allowed to kill them without any consequence. Perhaps implementing the suggested "rule" might break something that would require revamps in ways we've never imagined but in a strategic sense, at the very least, if you know someone is about to kill you, it's only fair that you're allowed to fight back and fire the first shot without being reported for RDM or FailRP, especially when you have the notice on the top middle part of the screen that tells you that Bounty Hunters are out to kill you. Maybe to play it safe, make it so that Players can only KOS Bounty Hunters that are actively pursuing them (For example, running at the bounty target with their gun out.) This way, they can't just shoot a BH that's just standing around, not even knowing where their bounty target is. This is something I only want to suggest for the Bounty Hunter, given that the targets know they're being hunted unlike Hitman/Assassin targets. I did NOT know there was a format I had to follow.

Should have mentioned this but I found out im still VIP. Now how do I go about deleting the post?

Now see I know minge rules exist, but I thought that the cancerous ones were a big no. Making a law that says you have to crouchwalk would be an example of something that shouldnt exist. With a law like No Witchcraft, i would imagine that there could be rp with that if some players form a cult or something to set an rp mood. But yeah, I got you now.

Well that is understandable. From what I have seen on the server, there have been instances where laws like that have been made and stayed there until the mayor died or until people forced them to be removed if they contradicted the first 3 laws or if it was a KOS law or a law that prevented a role from doing their job like a gun dealer. Seeing laws like that being enforced for the first time threw me off a bit.

So I have a hypothetical situation that may or may not be related to what happened on the darkrp server a few minutes ago. So lets say that there was a hypothetical mayor named Lyri who made laws such as "Citizens must always use the streets." Then a staff member comes up to him, we'll call him OldSchool, with a rank of, let's say TRIALMODERATOR, and tells Lyri that that law is unacceptable and makes him remove the law. Lyri removes the law. At the time, there were two staff members online. Oldschool being one of them and the other being Thigh High. Now we fast forwarda few moments later when Lyri has new improved laws that go along the lines of "No Witchcraft," "Being gay is a sin," "No Communism" and other silly laws. Now OldSchool comes back, slightly triggered, and then demands and forces Lyri remove those laws because they are "false laws." Claiming it is false to outlaw Witchcraft since there is no such add-on on the server (He uses the same reasoning for the other laws that are placed). He then tells Lyri that if he has a problem with his "flawless ruling," to make a post on it in the forum. So I guess the question I want to impose on you is: Was it really against the rules to make laws like the ones Lyri made?

Well just now Im hoping on the server to see if im still a user. I should have made this post after I got on and checked for sure.

So a few days ago I got on the server and tried to become a DJ only to find out that I had been demoted to user. I tried looking on the section talking about darkrp updates and found nothing that could explain why this happened.
