FestiveCowZilla 150 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Description: Allow police department to arrest people who go past the line and upon the stairs Reasoning: The stairs is the way to the mayors office, there is no reason people should be allowed up on the stairs while the doors next to the stairs is AOS inside. They both connect to the jail cells and the stairs connect to the mayors office even faster then the below route. 1 1 1 Link to comment

aidanpoppas123 512 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Neutral If you have one of those -----AOS/KOS----- lines you can enforce it on the stairs, so making an official rule wouldn't make too much sense considering it's already possible Regardless I support having one set rule that states exactly where AOS/KOS can be enforced 1 1 1 Link to comment
FlameSoul 287 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 There's already a rule which allows that but only the Mayor or Police Chief can place it down. That being said, I do agree that it should be automatic. +1 Only the Mayor can create the KOS sign for the PD, if there is no mayor, then the Police Chief, if there is no Police Chief or Mayor, you may not have a KOS sign.

MisterShankie 224 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 -1I personally don't see a problem. I mean, the stairs are part of the lobby which isn't restricted access. I can see people abusing this heavily. At least when it comes down to the rule where "Aos/kos past second doors", if the door is locked then we have lockpicking logs and such to prove they were valid for arrest. Plus, there are two sets of double doors which acts as sort of an air lock. If the police are paying attention then no one should even be able to get to that point before getting arrested/killed. I believe this would just allow for more RDA reports and officers being petty or mingy with the arrests. I especially see hobos or DJ's just hanging out on the steps to stay out of peoples way when the lobby is full, I wouldn't see it fair to arrest them. If anything, just keep it as KOS/AOS past the second doors or picking the doors. It's simple, you know where the line is, the lobby is public space and past the second doors is police only. I know this goes against most of the group here but it just doesn't make any sense to me to extend it or make it any more strict than it already is. 1 hour ago, aidanpoppas123 said: Regardless I support having one set rule that states exactly where AOS/KOS can be enforced There is, it's past the second doors is AOS. Even without an AOS sign. All that changes is that a mayor or police chief can make it KOS. Link to comment

ShankNinja 801 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 -1 It makes some sense but I don't think change is necessary. In order to get past the double-doors mentioned, you have to lockpick it (assuming PD is doing their job) which is already AOS. After that door, there's another door that must be lockpicked. If everyone is following the rules, the raider who is lockpicking would advert raid and it is then up to the PD to respond to the threat within the police department. As such, I think a change such as this would just negatively impact new players who already have a hard time knowing where they can and can't be arrested/killed at will. Standing on the steps isn't malicious, and until someone's attempting to perform a crime - it's totally harmless for them to be there. If the Mayor is hiding out in his office (which I haven't seen but one time since CPs lost prop ability) then the cops should be able to react to this threat long before the doors are all breached. 9 hours ago, aidanpoppas123 said: Regardless I support having one set rule that states exactly where AOS/KOS can be enforced 8 hours ago, MisterShankie said: There is, it's past the second doors is AOS.

To Aidan's point, I think that "The lobby of PD must be accessible at all times" is a pretty solid rule, assuming you know that the lobby is everything before the doors (including the stairs). 3 Link to comment

It's one of the many "Common knowledge" rules we have on the server since the rules are rarely ever updated. It is just known that only a mayor or police chief could put a KOS sign on the PD. That is actually in the rules. Unless that KOS sign is down, then it cannot be enforced. It is ONLY AOS past the second doors unless a valid KOS sign is placed by the designated roles. This is why the rule below says "KOS sign" and not "AOS/KOS sign" because it is referring to the doors already being AOS but not KOS without a valid sign. Only the Mayor can create the KOS sign for the PD, if there is no mayor, then the Police Chief, if there is no Police Chief or Mayor, you may not have a KOS sign. Link to comment
FestiveCowZilla 150 Posted October 25, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 Being on the stairs gives a raider high ground advantage for free, weakening pd even more. Maybe have to put past line is aos instead of doors so new players understand? Unless people already do that. Link to comment
Shin_Tsukimi 2,246 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Denied. The KOS/AOS will remain without a line, it must be only in effect once you are past the lobby. A change is unnecessary and it's pretty clearly outlined the lobby must be accessible to anyone. Thank you for your suggestion. 3 Link to comment
