Requisitioning of Equipment (Gamemaking Update)

[Lee/Hallow]

This is a thread about what can and cannot be given out during an event.
Not everyone will agree with what is said here, but I can readily assure you this is for the betterment of the server and our events.
----​

To start, I just want to open this post up by saying this: The giving out of weapons and equipments to people who are not 100% authorized to use them has been a lingering problem for the last 2 months or so. While it did not come all at once, it came quickly to my attention that some people were asking for things they hadn't usually gotten in the past. I would never openly call anyone out, as almost everyone is guilty of this. Some may point fingers or place blame, but I just simply want to ask; Do not play the blame game, because this is just as much everyone's fault as it is one group or person's. If arguments break out in the comments, they will simply have to be removed, so as not to waste space.
So with that said, here is the new and standing rule for issueing of weapons, equipment, and vehicles:

• If it does not come in your class or job, you do not get it, with only 2 exceptions.
• If a game maker gave you something for the purposes of an event, you are welcomed to use it as directed.
• If you are MED, MO, MS, Doctor, you are completely eligible to receive medical equipment. You only need to make sure you have one of those four tags previously listed in your name.
• Edit: AI units are entitled and must be given tool guns, if they ask, or they so choose. They need no target.
• Just because you are EOD certified, does not mean you receive an RPG or other explosive. (If it is necessary, you may be provided with these types of weapons.)
• Being certified to use a jet pack is not a thing. You are in a squad that uses them, or you are not in a squad that uses them.
• Having SS, SUPP, etc. does not warrant the giving of weapons. If you want to use those weapons join a regiment that uses them.
• Certain Squads and Regiments do get armor sets, but it is a one time per mission. Dying can get you an armor reset, but it may not happen right away.
• Of course, game makers are not to give themselves weapons, armor, and equipment anyone in that same regiment, company, or squad position would not normally get. Any abuse of powers should be reported to me here on the forums.

These are the rules. I would ask everyone respect and follow them as any other rule.

This next part of this thread will be dedicated to explaining what classes and units I know can receive varying equipment. (I know there will be mistakes. If I messed up anything please comment with proof and this will be edited accordingly.)

1. Authorized to Use Jet Packs: Valkyrie Squad, Prowler, ODST Bullfrog Regiment, Dogma 3-6, Spartan Fireteam Exodus, Spartan Fireteam Eclipse, ONI Spartans, Orion Program Personnel, HoJ Jump Pack Units and HoJ Low CMD+, SoS Sanghelli Ranger Units.
2. Non-Pilot Personnel Authorized to Pilot: Spartan Fireteam Exodus, Spartan Fireteam Eclipse, ONI Spartans, Orion Program Personnel, All HoJ, SoS Sanghelli Ranger Units, SoS Low CMD+
3. Armor Sets: Whiskey 5-4, Rhino 5, Dogma 3-6, Golf 0-4

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THIS CHANGE. NOT EVERYONE CHECKS THE FOURMS REGULARLY, AND YOU WOULD BE DOING A FAVOR TO ANY ONE WHO DOESNT KNOW.
Thank you all for understanding. I know this may seem harsh or unfair, but it really is for the best.

Arbiter also has some special listings so I would talk to him

 

[Aible Reins]

I would request the slight change of the armor sets rules, since they are meant to balance out the shielded players.
typically on a re -pawn basis AT THE DISCRETION OF THE ACTING GM, not on a "I just spawned i need armor I need armor I need armor"

so basically, if a GM happens to see the death in the kill feed, they may just tap the armor bind if they have it.

Also, armor units include Dogma 3-6 (tagged D36 for GMs) with 200 armor. Golf 'should' have it, but they never got a tag assigned. (probably G04 and 180 armor) but thats a topic for another time I guess...

perhaps the armor setter can clear it with the GM pre event?

 

[Veron]

One more thing, ALL SoS Rangers can use Jet Packs. Not Just Sangheili. All Rangers can fly awell @Lee

I mean to be completely honest, armor setting was something that had almost completely slipped my mind when making this thread. I was just so used to those certain squads who do receive armor being under populated or not knowing. Even at the end of my time in Rhino, I found myself hardly setting my armor anymore. It's no excuse, I know, and I will take steps to make sure that those squads are getting the armor they have. Right now, I find that armor was probably being over shadowed by the glaring problem of weapons. Going forward, the GM team will know that there is one more important step in setting up for events.

Obsidian squad for agents are suppose to get saws as default but we don’t have custom jobs in that way so wouldn’t that be another exception? @Lee

Afraid not. Like it says, don't spawn with it, don't get it.

 

[Blaven]

But it is part of our “squad armory” it isn’t just there are squad jobs there’s just 1 agent job and Montana.

I'm sorry brotha that's just how it be.

 

[sullycollins]

@Blaven
The deal made between Montana and Marin on the lines of your specialty weapons (to my understanding) was that you can only get those specialties spawned in IF Montana had talked to the GM before the event and got it approved for use in the event by the GM.

 

[Blaven]

Oh ok, I was told by my squad leader and winter that we should be able to get them if we ask and we are suppose to have them but the job situation but if Montana checked off on it.

All SoS Low Command+ have the ability to fly Phantoms as Sangheili Commandersi if need can fly however if there is a ranger sangheili on they would fly over a normal sangheili but SoS High Command and Senior Command can fly
