I just think it's an unnecessary restriction. . I don't think adding this will diminish baiting. Teachers and counselors are always in other areas too, they aren't stationary in classrooms or at the reception. Other students also aren't stationary in one place. Teenagers are immature beings, I don't think it's out of the ordinary to make silly choices. If people are baiting on purpose AND avoiding FearRP, they should be punished accordingly for that.
If they run away let them. From a past faculty member, if they aren't going to respond just stop responding to them. lol
What’s being restricted is engaging in CombatRP directly in another faculty member’s face or office. That’s something that anyone should have enough common sense to not do. But unfortunately, baiters exist! And baiters do not bait when faculty aren’t around!
It's not like I don't understand the frustration of that, I've been faculty previously and I'm also in KPD. Baiting is always prominent, no matter what. . But that's the point of the rules and staff members, if someone's breaking a rule it's to be reported. Restricting people who actually can SeriousRP from roleplaying in certain areas is really unnecessary.
If people are baiting 1) Report them to staff 2) Ignore them if they continue.
It doesn't stress EVERYONE out, it's literally just a handful of people.
I’d send a screenshot of the faculty chat if I could, everyone was on board and agreed (including Maria) that this was a good idea to implement in order to remedy an ongoing issue while inside school. And, what I suggest does in fact make it easier. It wouldn’t kill anyone to not throw a punch directly in front of a receptionist
You're correct that this would be FailRP, The main point in having this implemented is to avoid FailRP, Calling staff over to a situation can sometimes be time consuming (with staff members being potentially busy etc.) It can be stressful for some people to have to gather a plethra of screenshots from a situation that happened in a high-traffic area with 20-30 other people talking in chat making it difficult to see what happened. This being implemented would stop those instances of this happening, drawing a clear line as to where these situations cannot take place, as they'd make no sense to!
You shouldn't have to ignore situations and other players because of this, reporting to staff, sure- this is making it so there's a clear definition of when they're breaking the rules. Not all fights have to happen behind closed doors, hence why there's the other 90% of the school where you can do them in! (outside classes that aren't actively being used, anywhere in the open) the whole 'RP is more fun with conflict' doesn't have to be the case! RP can be more fun when making solid relationships, things that DON'T involve being at odds with other players
I'm saying ignore situations where it's clear the other person isn't planning to listen and rp- hence why we're calling them baiters. Again, you shouldn't have to limit the majority of the server (WHO DOES PLAN TO RP!!), solely because some players were fucking around & weren't planning to rp in the first place
Receptionists/teachers/professors/other employees can be anywhere at any time, they aren't contained to their classrooms. . What's the point of restricting certain areas when school employees will probably see you either way?
I feel like restricting this wouldn't solve the issue though. It's still going to happen either way, it'll still be FailRP either way, and it'll still have to be dealt with either way. This is like- stacking rules. You already can't FailRP, you already can't bait, and you have to obey FearRP- if none of these rules are preventing them from happening, how is restricting CombatRP in these areas going to do the job? Rulebreaking and baiting are inevitable. From what I understand, this rule would ban CombatRP from taking place in the cafeteria, anywhere near the reception, anywhere near classrooms (that do take up most of the school). . and on top of that, you have to worry about the faculty & Councilors that are patrolling around the entirety of the school. Again, it's unnecessarily restrictive.
It’s not banning conflict, just combatrp. There’s a difference!
Fun fact, combatrp can be a part of conflict
