+20 for creativity, -21 because it'd be messy, inconsistent, and assist commands don't have a range limit as far as I know, so every thug could call an assist to drop an entire player's inv. Would lead to players carrying lots of cloth, metal bars, etc to make RNG on their side.

Brilliant idea, but not something we can implement. Maybe a "mob boss" and "godfather" applied role, with the ability to put up a "black mark" on an officer that has killed (more than x criminals in x time) with witnesses for each of them, somewhat like a kill warrant?

Great idea about the mob boss and godfather role, ill add that in asap . but i don't really agree on some parts like "very thug could call an assist to drop an entire player's inv." not everyone will get the role?! You'll have to get 20 up votes to get it also i dont really think everyone would start carrying cloth etc just to not get pickpocketed, humanity today are to lazy to do that.

Also, the role just... doesn't have much good to it.
Like, if someone's about to pickpocket you, you can just look straight down in preparation to pick items back up.
The /assist from anywhere bit IS an issue, because it would result in fail RP whenever it's done that staff DO need to clean up after.
Would YOU like to figure out how to restore someone when you can't tell which items dropped from the illegitimate assists vs. the base pickpocket?

Also, unlike.. literally every other RP scenario in the game.. this is an event that players can't just give in with. with robberies you can comply, with hitmen you can pay it off, with kidnappers you can get the randsom payed, etc etc...

Also, the issue is raised of players other than the pickpocket (mechanics for example) working with them to scoop up the loot (which the victim CAN'T shoot). A naked player could go pickpocket a guy so his buddies can grab the loot without risk.

The only way someone using pickpocket could be reasonably successful is with Fail RP, which is NOT a good direction to be pointing people.

Assisting in a pickpocket when not being face to face it will result in fail rp (as all the other commands), if someone that is NOT pickpocketing is picking up the loot thats dropped its also fail rp and is a bannable offence. I dont think this’ll be a big problem as players dont want to be banned (at least some of them). And if you are pickpocketed everyone can kill the pickpocketer so unless he manages to run away he’s very easy to kill

Sorry, but I don't think it's possible for Mushy to code such a thing.

Sorry, but I don't think it's possible for Mushy to code such a thing.

He probably could but think of it this way. Pick pocketing would be extremely annoying and drive a lot of players away from the server. Also why would you apply for it. Your a criminal there is no sense of hierarchy unless you are in a group. Overall the idea is nice but the main problem would be the fact many players would dislike being pick pocketed.

All were shut down as you can see.
I like your ideas, although I don't necessarily think pickpocket is good, we could just change around /rob to include more or something, bringing less complications if these were to be implemented.

The pick pocketing feature would not drag people away from the server i think it would drag people in the server.
more fun features = more rp
more balanced roles = more fun.

And about the voting thing. I think it's necessary cause atm only law enforcement role has that feature and we don't want 20 thugs on the server pick pocketing people.

The pickpocket command would have a cooldown like any other commands, do you get robbed all of the time? No. Do you get kidnapped all the time? No. Will you get pick pocketed all the time? Probably no. And i dont think it will be even as close as a pain in the ass the other roles are (like kidnapping, getting killed by a hitman etc) , while getting pick pocketed you have the advantage as they can shoot you just run away and shoot back in self defence.
