A Short Message to the CPs

[GeneralTrivium]

Not all citizens are mingebags or failrpers. I feel like i'm instantly being labelled every time I try to talk with one for legitimate reasons, only to be met by a spam of the "Move along!" voice clip.

So here's a little guide to tell whether someone isn't a mingebag/failrper.

1. Proper spelling, grammar and punctuation

2. Descriptive use of /me

3. Descriptive use of /physdesc

4. Lack of unholstered fists

5. Proper use of OOC and LOOC

It is really that simple. So before you decide to hit your "Move along." bind or completely ignore someone to simply go and stand in another patrol position, check this list and actually interact with them seriously like you should do.

Thank you.

Yeah... I am sorry if I ever do this to people, just when the server is in full minge mode... I kinda get tired of it. I'll try to be better about it. Sorry!

Did you post this because of the move along's you got a the CHANGE shop clamp? There was a reason.

[GeneralTrivium]

Actually no, mainly from yesterday. However that encounter did remind me.

[Pielolz]

They can do what you want; I'd like to adress being shot for RP running. Its annoying that no CPs will chace you just shoot you.

[BltElite]

During full minge mode we will shoot peoe who do stuff akin to minges like running

[GeneralTrivium]

And yet not interact with honest RPers?

[Vegas]

Trivium, we do what we want, we can tell you to move along if we want to, maybe we don't want to talk at the moment. Alright?

[GeneralTrivium]

So you come to a RP server simply so you can either:

a) Hold down W and move around the plaza until something happens

b) Stand in the plaza and stare at the plaza until something happens

If a CP is clearly busy, I don't interact with them. But if they're just doing one of these things, and I have a reason to, I will.

"We do what we want" isn't really an excuse. I could go out, buy a gun and shoot random people in the face, but I don't, because that would be bad RP. If you're going to occupy a RP server, then make an effort to RP.

Heck, if you're not in the mood to talk, at least make it known.
"Not now citizen."
"Can't talk now citizen."
Or if it's important, get someone else to deal with it. The spamming of "Move along!" simply frustrates players and is a lazy way to avoid RP.

I come to an RP server and go on a CP so I can beat the shit out of citizens and generally be an ass. If you have a problem with CPs being assholes, get off HL2RP. CPs do what they want as long as it isn't clearly contradicting server rules or higher ranks contradict it.

Fuck don't you know what passive is? Obviously civil protection are there to enforce socio-stability, approaching them with stupid questions and or trying to start a conversation with them ( Depending on rank ) is just going to get you in the shit. Maybe try RP with some of the other citizens around, or do something constructive.

Read before you post please.

It would also appear you have the wrong mentalities for a serious RP. Fix this please, or your imperfections will be logged, and will be put against you in your final Aperture Science performance report.

Trivium, most to all CPs tell everyone to move along.

The role of a civil protection unit is to ensure the city is socio-stable, not to be a tour guide for random citizens. The only time you should approach a CP to hold a conversation is when you have information on a AC or something of importance to them. Asking them how their day is, is just going to piss them off.
