If I put GTA SAMP on a hard drive and take it around a few times every week, and play on different IPs such as my friends house or something?

Immediately contact that person and apologize saying it was an accident, and try not to jack choppers while they are taking off that will happen 80% of the time.

It does get auto reported to the admins but as long as it doesn't become a habit one time shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Is it against the rules to get in the driver seat of a car, and smoke pot to heal at the same time in the middle of being shot at? What if the person constantly is getting in/out of the driver seat to smoke pot and heal?

You can kill someone in the driver seat of a car.

If you want to know what is and isn't against the rules, think of it this way.

A. Can you do it in real life.

B. Is what you are doing taking advantage of lag issues/weird game mechanics for your own personal gain.

That is basically what the rules are based around.

He's talking about using pot while one's in the "carjack" animation. You are invincible in these animations which consist of exiting/entering vehicles.

This is why I am asking... A person can smoke pot while opening the door of a car, and never have the /usepot animation then they can get back out and start fighting again. Yes they can be killed if they sit in the car for too long, but if they exit right away it seems like exploiting to me.

Don't log to avoid death from carpark, and be carefull with the /stopani tactic, most of the time it works, but I have experienced situations where the person under my taxi did /stopani, and I couldn't reverse off them, thus making it impossible not to carpark them.

I would say that this is an exploit yes, doing this deliberately and regularly will probably get the person a warning.

I've seen it has been coded in so when there is no driver, you can't smoke neither pot or crack.

Something like - "The driver didn't let a lighter for you in the back" - Appears when there is no driver in the car.
Less exploit now I guess.

It's like that: Middle of a point battle someone is dying. He get into car a passenger and smoke up. Car is taking no damage. So its good option.

Under ten hours played and level one: Free (public) (If the account is an alt account just fuck off and remake the account)
Level 10 or lower or 250 hours played: 500k (public) or 5mil (private)
Level 11 or greater, 250 hours played or greater: 1/3 of cash or 10mil whichever is greater (public only)

Exceptions:
Dumb name to RP name: Always free (public)
Name change for a new gang: 100k (public)
One warning: All prices double
Two or more warnings: No name changes under any circumstances

If an admin bothers to process a namechange please edit the post of the person you processed to avoid wasting time.

For private namechanges PM your favourite admin. Otherwise the most likely people to process your request is Rachael, Ari, Nurgle or Al_Yu, but sometimes Al requires 5 or more PMs sent within 10 minutes of each other before he notices.

If you ask for anything that is not a namechange in this thread we will change your name to something of our choice and charge you for it.

why did the name changes go from 100k to 500k?


is it because the admins felt that 100k was to easy to acquire and they were getting so many name changes that they set it to 500k so the lower levels wouldn't have a fighting chance and would recive less name changing requests? seems kinda harsh....

and I'm not trying to be an ass either I'm just asking, and yes i do understand that admins are humans and they have lives too, but why can't the name changes be at least 300k for the lower levels like level 6 and under?

when the price was 100k I was getting about 5 requests per 5 minutes, and some players have had 5 or more namechanges, when someone changes their name it makes it very difficult to keep track of who is who, and that means more faggots get away with doing faggoty shit.

Can I log to avoid death if I'm being randomly DMed?
I understand why I can't do it in war, it's OOC.
But if I'm in the bank and some civvie I've never seen before runs up to me and opens fire, since he already broke character, can I log?

no. Because then that turd might post a screenshot of you logging. Log to avoid nothing. If he's DMing report it and/or make a complaint thread so his name is out there as a big gay and he'll be dealt with.
