Questions regarding Rules

[Adman]

Alright, here we go.

About the Merchant Jobs & their Contraband in the back room / somewhere else.
Yes, job rules 5 states that they should not lock themselves into a room and contra whore as any of these jobs.

However, what confuses me as a moderator is the situation where dealers own contraband, but are making an effort to sell their goods too.

To put it shot: Is there a 0-tolerance policy with dealers & contra or does it come down to something else?

The rule expressly condemns 'basing' specifically, which I and many others have always categorised as sitting in a room, contrafarming and thus not performing your job. There is also the factor of FailRP, so I think that Gundealers and Black Market Dealers, both of whom are the most closely linked to the underground world, are allowed to possess contraband but are NOT allowed to base. If at any time it affects their ability to perform their job, it causes a problem. Chefs and Chauffeurs should not have contraband at all, they're civilian jobs and having contraband would be FailRP.

I have a few questions concerning police officers and speed/car laws.

If a car is going faster than the speed limit, or go past a red light, generally the police officer will yell stop and get out. If you have a legitimate reason for ignoring the police officer and you continue driving, is the police officer allowed to shoot your car and if so are they allowed to attempt too kill you or do they have too chase you down?

Also, I know you've already said that a vehicle is not a valid way to kill someone but can I ask why can we not have a hit and run? I think if you have a decent RP reason (such as you're part of the Mob, maybe you were betrayed by someone or someone overheard some information and made a quick escape, and you're following them in vehicle) why can't you do a hit and run? I think it could lead to some interesting RP if you are caught by the police.

Edit: I also have a question on hostaging. What would you describe as ideal reasons to hostage someone?

Shooting is a last resort, ever heard of those massive long car chases on American highways? They occur because they don't shoot to kill. Ideally, you would have some sort of car damaging system but we don't currently have that; it is being designed. In short, you do not kill someone who is escaping; you chase them and if you lose them then you should make avid use of your radio or give up - up to you.

No form of using vehicles to kill someone is allowed, at all. This is because of the unbalanced nature it causes, the fact it is entirely aggressive and would simply lead to EVERYONE performing hit and runs. So no, never use your car as a weapon.

The most obvious hostaging scenario would be a Rebellion kidnapping the President, who has made laws that expressly discriminate against the Rebel group, in order to change the law. Apart from that, there shouldn't be many reasons to hostage someone because it is far too common in Fearless compared to real life. Another scenario would be if the Corleone family and the Rebels had gone to war. You may, for example, hostage an opposing team member who has perhaps drifted too nosily towards your base or who has been causing you trouble.
