These are PSA regarding the server.

Trying to unstick an aerial vehicle is not counted as VDM / RVD if the vehicle blows up as long as there was clear intent to not VDM / RVD the vehicle on purpose.

NLR (RNR)

All members of the R&R are required to know New Life Rule (NLR) for medics. Please revisit the handbook and review all information regarding NLR and when it applies.

Not only is NLR a handbook rule but it is a server rule as well.

The purpose of this PSA is to make clear to all R&R members that breaking NLR is unacceptable and will be met with administrative action.

Seniors are cracking down on medics breaking NLR. Seniors have been instructed to issue a Letter of Reprimand to any medic whom breaks NLR.

Ignorance or forgetfulness do not make you exempt or give you a free pass.

Thank you for your time.

R&R Tips (RNR)

R&R Tips

Some Tips from the Senior R&R, based on some observations on current medics and complaints

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

- Time Management: Time Management is very important whilst playing medic, especially if there are many calls. As a medic, it’s best if you respond to calls in the order that they requested revive in order to guarantee that all the civilians will get revived instead of just responding to revives in terms of proximity of the revive to the medic’s location.


- Awareness: Being an aware medic is essential. An aware medic can spot out situations in which they can get taken hostage and will respond to revives faster. Is there a group of rebels running around Kavala Square messing with everyone or collecting people to do a hostage situation with the police later? Are you at Athira hospital and a bunch of rebels are headed towards you from Athira rebel’s direction? Are you responding to a call at the salt flats and there are 20 rebels waiting to pull cars from the garage there? These are situations in which you can definitely be taken hostage – and an attempt at being taken hostage here could be avoided. Being an aware medic also involves being aware about revives or calls for service and when they’re being called in. If you see a revive pop up on your screen and you’re goofing around in Kavala Square, react quickly to go ahead and get that revive so the person requesting isn’t stuck waiting for so many minutes. If there aren’t any revives on the dispatch menu, and you haven’t seen any pop up, make sure to check the dispatch menu once in a while to make sure you haven’t missed any that popped up in the meantime.


- Denial: As a medic, you are given 3 denial options: Deny Bug, Deny RnR, and Deny by 3rd party. If a 3rd party does come and deny the person you’re trying to revive – and it’s clear that they will stay there for a while, DENY the person and leave if there are other calls. It’s important to deny in these scenarios so you don't waste the person’s time who requested, once denied, they can choose on their own if they want to respawn at that point or if they want to wait you out. You can come back later to that revive if the person requesting has not respawned. If someone denies you a revive and you don’t have any more revives to attend to, there’s no harm in hanging around away from the area to see when the people that denied you clear out, make sure not to stick yourself right in the middle of an ongoing situation.


- On-Route: Marking people On-Route is beneficial to every party involved during a revive call, it notifies the civilian that you’re aware of their revive and you’re on your way, and it also allows medics to coordinate revives if there are a bunch of you on a single server. It’s also important not to overuse the mechanic, use it when you’re actually on your way to a revive, NOT if you’ll be there within 5 minutes and aren’t actually on your way.


- Spreading out Medics: Medics spreading out on a single server between cities is great for a couple reasons: reducing response time and keeping multiple medics from becoming hostages. It reduces response time because medics don’t have to go all the way to a hospital and redeploy if there’s a call for service - they should already be stationed near the calls. It also helps at keeping multiple medics from becoming hostages, because, if medics are not all bunched up in an area, then they can’t take all the medics on the server hostage too easily.


- Hostage: As a medic it’s important to make sure that you’re difficult to take hostage by civilians, you can avoid being taken hostage by always being on the move, generally, a stationary medic is a very vulnerable medic. Also, going back to awareness – watch what’s around you, if you see some sketchy stuff, take steps to avoid it. If you are taken hostage however, it’s not the end of the world, do your best to enjoy the situation, take part in some nice RP, do whatever’s necessary.


- NLR: A quick tip for NLR, if you have any doubt that something is NLR at all, the best thing to do is just abide by the NLR (this will not land you in any trouble). If a medic is caught breaking NLR they will be punished accordingly. If you have a question about a certain scenario being NLR, please go ahead and contact one of the Senior Medics with anything (That’s what we’re here for!).


- Unlocking Vehicles: Another tip for unlocking medic vehicles. Usually, as a medic, you don’t have to unlock any medic vehicles to get in the driver’s/passenger seats. If you want to give a someone a ride, make sure that during the time the vehicle is unlocked that you’re sitting in the pilot/driver’s seat to give no room for someone to steal your vehicle. In other words, make sure that your vehicle is locked whenever you need to step out of the driver’s/pilot seats.

Server Rule / AAN

PSA:

Here's a quick explainer on the new update and how they affect certain rules:

AAN Broadcasts: Since you have to hike all the way to Kavala and pay 250k to broadcast a message to the server, it makes sense that those messages could contain situational information. This is not the same as a player abruptly posting that information in side chat. APD Warrants Engagement: Engagement for APD Warrants works similar to how stealing/lockpicking a vehicle works without any prior engagement, in a vehicle theft scenario, a person can lockpick a vehicle and not be allowed to shoot the owner of the vehicle solely from lockpicking the vehicle, however, the owner of the vehicle is allowed to shoot (i.e. engaged to) the person lockpicking their vehicle, it's a one-way engagement. This is similar to APD Warrants: people that currently have a warrant on them are allowed to shoot the APD on-sight, however, the APD have to engage the person with a warrant on them via standard engagement rules. This does not mean that people with the same tags and that are nearby to the person with an active warrant have a one-way engagement with the cops. The person with an active warrant needs to have engaged the APD with standard engagement rules in order for tagged nearby mates to be able to shoot at the APD, this could mean shooting at the police, etc. Probable Cause: I've spoken to Winters, and I don't think this will get an APD Handbook update, but, due to the active warrant zone being so ridiculously huge, the zone itself cannot be used for probable cause, for example, in order to re-enter red zones before 15 minutes, etc. However, it does give probable cause to enter warzone when it is extremely probable (via where the zone lands) that the person with an active warrant is currently in the warzone. Combat Logging: Leaving the server whilst having an active warrant on your person is not considered combat logging, we are not trying to keep people hostage to the server for 30 minutes time, that's ridiculous. Chapter 1: No Random Death Match [RDM]

1. Killing or tazing another player without any role-play will result in administrative action.

         1. If you have been fired at, returning fire is permitted.
         2. If someone commits a direct hostile action to you, you may kill them.
         3. Example: Lockpicking/stealing your vehicle, rotor tapping, bolt cutting, active APD warrants, APD house raids/searches, shooting you with a flare gun, attempting to escort hostages
         4. Example: Being armed/pointing a gun in your general direction and/or verbally insulting are NOT considered hostile actions, neither is ramming/running over someone whether or not you believe it is intentional.

Chapter 17: Meta-Gaming

5. Do not post situational information about other players in side/gang chat.

         1. Exception: AAN news broadcasts can contain situational information.
