Title: evnts races
Post by: HASEEB1 on July 05, 2010, 09:44:10 AM
Allow some players to use teleport ability.This ability should be given only to some serious members who will not abuse it like Forgive and...........................u know better than me

Advantages
I  have suggested this suggestion because every one knows that teleport is the key to start events.
one more advantage is,distant races now should be played easily.

now events would be successful in LW.and more people to race

Disadvantages
everyone knows that admins are too busy so this ability should be given to some serious people so it should not be abused

thanks

But currently when there is a race, admins are already offering teleports to the start point...

Also, to avoid abuse of this feature (for example someone who is about to die asking for teleport only to save himself), instead of giving this ability to only certain players (as you suggest), you can enable those teleports inside banks and Ammus, because inside them you can't die, so you cannot abuse them to avoid death. This way everyone would be able to use those teleports.

-1, that's what mods are for

You could also get some more mods... But maybe the idea is not that bad. Admins and mods are busy with keeping the server clean. The problem might be solved by hiring a few ppl whose job would be only to organise events. They should also be able to give money prizes (with a special cmd that will say in public chat that who recieved it and for what).

Yeah, so that you can run run run to bank/Ammu and use /teleport? No, thanks.

yeah but if someone is trusted enough to do that, he/she may as well be trusted enough to be mod.

Well, if I want to avoid death by running to bank/Ammu, I can already do it without teleports (I just have to wait inside until the danger passes), so in regards of death avoiding those teleports to race wouldn't make any difference... Also, I said that currently when there is a race, admins are already offering teleports (no matter where you are), so if I want to avoid death in that moment I only have to ask for a tele to race without even entering a bank/Ammu, therefore it's easier to avoid death right now than with my suggestion. The only problem is what Ricky Martin said: there would be no car...

In the first moment ive thought the same, but mods have got more important duties than organising events and they usually dont have time for it.

u always have the same answer scott.understand what miczi saying
have u ever helped in hosting an event as an admin scott?or any admin or mod.
yeah but if someone is trusted enough to do that, he/she may as well be trusted enough to be mod.
Title: Re: evnts races
Post by: AJP on July 05, 2010, 06:15:45 PM
Well yea I understand and I've been mod, and it's pretty easy to host an event + check on reports at the same time once you've learned the cmds.

yeah but the idea is to make real events easier, not only possible. And if it's so easy for mods to make events, why does it happen so rarely? It would be a big improve for the server.

you just need the right people, some mods and admins aren't up for it, or wont be around ingame long enough.
I know if there was some stats page where admins could note which admin hosted a minievent, some of them might care a little more  ::)

it will not help,AJP.u should  give this ability to someone.

-1 This idea is sucks, as far as I know when creating a race of max 13 minutes to reach home to a rate not exceeding 10 minutes and created the races where you can put finish or beginning thus:

1) Write big in orange on the screen how long, where and why the race is

 2) do not need Teleport to get to a race you enough time 13/10 minutes

 3) A race all around San Andreas to make 8.51 a minute and you in 13 minutes for example, you can not get up in LV SF?

this suggestion isnt only about race teleports. when will you people get it? ::)
Title: Re: evnts races
Post by: AJP on July 06, 2010, 05:54:59 PM
given all the people who abuse having the capability of padding their stats, I don't see why people wouldn't abuse teleport commands that they should be using for events. Maybe admins could have a /minimod command where they could make someone a temp mod with those capabilities of organizing minievents. If he were to abuse it in that little bit of time then ban.

Mmmm is an intermediate step for players that are trusted by the admins but that aren't elected for that position. However I don't know if this would work properly...

If the main topic of the thread is about teleporting, why not to put a red checkpoint (similar to those of the race start points) somewhere on the map, and the players who want to be teleported to the race/event have to go there? if the player wants only to avoid death, first he must reach that point (like he can currently do with banks and Ammus, so there would be no more abuse in that).

there is no need for it gryphus. The main problem is the dificulty of orginising events and what we need here are ppl who have abilities to make it.
Scott's idea seems ok to me.
