I would like some clarification on this ruling. I reported this as Fail RP, but the player was only punished for Power Gaming.

I was actively pursuing the suspect when they jumped into the ocean, and I followed them into the water. There was a ladder immediately behind us that they could have used to climb out of the water, but instead they deliberately swam deep underwater until they drowned.

They had a realistic way to get out of the water, continue the RP, and face the consequences of their crime. Instead, they intentionally killed their character to avoid arrest.

I understand the Power Gaming punishment, but I would like to know why deliberately drowning yourself to avoid arrest, when a viable way out was available, was not also considered Fail RP under the server rules.

Hello Ron, hope you're doing good.


I punished the person for PG instead of Fail RP because he first jumped into the water and then drowned himself to get killed.


It's PG because PG means doing something which is not possible in real life but is possible in the game, and taking an unfair advantage from it. That's what PG is. Fail RP means failing to do RP when needed. He jumped into the water and did what is PG.


Else, the decision is up to the higher-ups.

Not trying to argue but you're saying its not possible for me to jump into water and drown myself in real life?

Sorry for interrupting but i want to say smth that was actually Power Gaming not Fail RP cuz it's unrealistic actions happened jump in the water to get an advantage to die under the water to evade arrest!
