Apparation Licenses

What is this?  You suddenly can't apparate to locations/people in mining or towny?

 

We have had issues recently where people have been apparating and killing people by getting positions of them.

 

To negate that, we are making it a license required thing to do so in the towny/mining world.  Main world you has not changed.

 

The rules for apparation are:

 

1. You can't apparate to someone to kill them with coords.

2. However, if they were stupid and left sidealong on, then you may apparate to kil lthem.

 

What to do if you want to prove someone apparated with coords?

 

Provide the exact coordinates you were at when they apparated to you.  We can check recent spell logs to see what they cast which will tell us if they apparated to those coordinates @ your time of death.

 

~ Thank you and hapy applying for apparation licenses !

On that note, now hiring people to test for apparation licenses in the ministry.  All people who apply will get a ministry office and be required to test people.  If they pass & you have informed them of the rules, you will submit a form to someone who can do something about it. XD

Are you able to check if they had sidealong turned on or not?

This sounds great (especially for the Arlington family that can be killed for 1 knut), but how exactly are you going to give your exact death coords, if, well, you're dead? If you die, you get the death screen, and you can't click anything but the buttons. So, if you're 10k blocks out, you get apparated to. and killed with coords off. They get away free!

I think a rule should be made so you can't Apparate within 200 blocks of a person's coordinates to kill them either, as I could easily see people being like, "Oh but I didn't teleport to THEM, I teleported a few blocks away!"

Katna get your facts right before you talk about that Arlington can be killed for 1 knut Andrew yes and no to that rule because if I apparte around and I get within 200 block of a person and I then find them 10m later/or they attack me, them should I get punished for attacking them? And I am allowed to apparate around so if I apparate 200 block from a player I could just use apparate with no coords the last 200 blocks so that won't change anything about it :i

if you apparated to them using the to a person thing, then they have sidealong, if you are forced to use coordinates instead, they don't.  We simply have to check if the person used coords or not.

the point is if you are intent on killing someone and using thier coords to get to them, then apparating to them, thats not allowed.

hmm, true, I think it would be a judgement call.  ie: how far from spawn are they, the likely hood is was an accident.  The only thing I worry about is if we start doing this, it's going to cause a lot of false reports too, which is something that will occupy staff time a lot.

@katna hummm, true, perhaps before we have this i should make something that logs deaths in mining world / towny so we can see how you were killed, and where and possibly record everyone nearby as well.

Or I have a great idea, why don't we just remove /getpos from the mining world? If someone needs to find their friend, they can ask their friend for the coordinates no? The only real thing /getpos is used for is either for raiding or checking if someone is close enough to raid you.

Where/who do you talk to, to get it?

I actually agree with this, I didn't know why /getpos was a command players could use Seems really OP to me.

Where can we apply?

we can always use /near to see if someone isabout to raid us, so /getpos to the general population seems pointless. its only used to attack, as andrew said.
