Georgeologist 32 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Description: I suggest making an exhaustive list of laws that are acceptable for the Mayor to make, or at least all that you can think of as to not suppress creativity. (partly making this because I have run out of ideas) Reasoning: My creativity has been stifled as Mayor by staff telling me my laws are minge (some were), or that they don't show in logs so I can't make them. Even laws that are RP based where the police must interact with the citizens to find out if they are breaking the law and citizens can make up a story of their own allowing an easy way to avoid being arrested. This clarification will allow an easy reference for staff and players to know if a law is unacceptable. 2 Link to comment
computer 148 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 idrk if I should put a -1 or +1 but I feel like it would be cool to have this, but have a list of laws that you CANT have instead of ones you can, because then people can still be creative without the laws falling under some bullshit like "Hobos = KOS" or "Outside = AOS" 1 Link to comment
Forums Moderator ChrisRid 900 Posted November 27, 2023 Forums Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2023 +1 I think a list of good / bad laws would be helpful as it can be a bit of a grey area, so it can only be positive. I will add though that I don't think it should be conclusive, it's great to allow players some creativity and I'm sure there's people who could think of a ton of better ideas than I could, so I wouldn't want to take that away from them. This is just an example of the kind of list you could make, maybe if the staff team were to brain-storm a load of decent examples: Link to comment
computer 148 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) oh also somethin I forgot to put, make sure to clarify that KOS LAWS ARENT FUCKING ALLOWED, because that shit is mad annoying when a mayor goes on a power trip "Existing = KOS" or smth Edited November 27, 2023 by computer Link to comment
Simon G 64 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Feel like there should definitely be some sort of standard for this. When i played last week one of the laws stated that all eXg members were exempt from the law list which just made absolutely no sense. +1 Edited November 27, 2023 by Simon G 2 Link to comment
DarkRP Administration Team Errol 115 Posted November 28, 2023 DarkRP Administration Team Share Posted November 28, 2023 I agree, +1 Though I think a list of non-applicable laws is probably less time-consuming to write out as opposed to a list of stuff that is okay to do. Either way I would love a list in case I wanted to be a tyrannical Mayor but without breaking some kind of rule. Link to comment
mossly 144 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Hello! As a certified bad mayor, my tip is: if a player can avoid it and it doesn't restrict class choice, it is fine examples (good): weapons/rt aos|ld vapes/poop/boots aos lottery wins AOS Examples (bad): rooftops aos <class> aos selling weapons aos hobos must be below ground adverts aos gravgun aos if a player can avoid breaking the law without undue hardship (for instance, for my grey area lotto law, my argument was entering the lottery is nonessential and completely voluntary) it is fine. if it impedes movement or basic gameplay, it is illegal you will meet some mods who try and tell you that laws are minge when they're not, but as long as you keep the above principles in mind you can succesfully argue for a wide variety of laws the other key is they cannot be too vague for instance, you might be able to get away with "calling mayor's wife ugly AOS", but "disrespecting PD" is not allowed. it is because in the first example it is very clear what you have to avoid whereas with the second pd can use basically anything you say or do to arrest you In conclusion, here are my awful (but all confirmed legal) laws Weapons/RT AOS|LD Boots/vapes/poop AOS|LD 911 CALLS AOS|LD Lotto wins AOS Crime in/near PD=lockdown forgot to add the reason why there is not a "disallowed" list is to allow for new situations if we had a disallowed list and someone came up with a uniquely and clearly mingey law, they'd argue that it was by default it is allowed bc it isn't listed Edited November 28, 2023 by mossly owo 1 Link to comment
