Ban Clown RDM

Description: Ban Clown banana RDM

Reasoning:

I don’t think the Clown should be allowed to kill people with bananas for no reason. Even though it’s just a banana and seems funny, it still counts as RDM because the player didn’t do anything to deserve getting killed. If a clown just throws a banana down (on purpose (which is usually the case)) and hopes someone slips and dies, that’s the same as randomly shooting someone. It’s still a kill with no RP reason.

People come to the server to roleplay and have fun, not to be killed out of nowhere by a joke item (banana). It ruins the experience for everyone else who’s trying to play the game the right way. When someone dies for no reason, it messes up the game, makes people mad, and sometimes makes them leave.

 

If I, as a regular player wish to kill someone, I could simply pull out a gun and kill someone. I would then be punished for RDM. If I, as a clown, wish to kill someone, I could simply throw down a banana, push them into said banana, and would never be punished for RDM. The double standard is unfair. The license to RDM is unfair.

 

The Clown is supposed to be a goofy role, and it’s okay to cause some chaos, but that doesn’t mean they should be allowed to break the rules. There’s a line between being funny and just ruining the game for others. If we let the Clown RDM just because it's "silly," then that opens the door for other players to start breaking rules too, using the same excuse.

In the end, it’s still RDM, no matter how it's done. The rules should be the same for everyone, even if your role is meant to be a joke. Let the Clown be fun, but not in a way that ruins the game for others.


Additional Information: In conclusion, Clowns should still follow the RDM rules like everyone else. 9/10 times I have seen a clown throw down a banana is to selectively kill a player. Just because a kill comes from a banana peel doesn’t make it okay. If a Clown wants to mess around, they can do it in ways that don’t hurt other players or break the game. The rules are there for a reason — to keep the game fun and fair for everybody. Getting randomly RDM'd by a banana is not fun or fair to anybody.

 

Course of Action: Make the banana slip non-lethal, instead temporarily stunning the player, rather than killing them thus making them lose their weapons and/or drugs that they may have, and also not invoking their New Life Rule (NLR) for such a silly reason (being RDM'd by a banana peel).

First off it's not RDM.

The basic purpose of the clown.. Is to be a clown. Their job allows them to make people slip on bananas. If this was the case shouldn't Hitman/Assassin/Deadshot be taken off as well? (Not saying it should). Because a lot of people get killed by those jobs for no reason as well (for example the automated hits). To be honest if you dislike like the clown job I suggest just try and avoid clowns.
