Cuffing, Ticketing, then Abandoning the player

In theory, the handcuff lasts for about 10 minutes and then they automatically get uncuffed, I believe.
And yes, it is annoying when the player magically pays his ticket as this almost never happens. Most of the players cannot pay their bounties, so the sheriff can focuss on other rogues / rebel bases / illegal activities.

 

Ok first of all In my defence,
I have only done that once. I ticketed you. Then ran away 20 blocks. Then saw your message 30 blocks away. Then I start running back.
You can't always expect us to wait besides you whilst waiting for you to go to jail or not.The universe Doesn´t erovle around you, Sorry. Especially when there´s a rouge 50 blocks away.
This pisses me off. Whilst I´m trying to do my job players post this and just waste our time with TINY things That aren´t even wrong. You posting this is just a waste of my time and yours.

I get it if this would be a bug report, "after paying the ticket your still in handcuffs" But since your pointing out certain sheriffs. Since I didn´t do anything wrong And I assume they didn´t either. If you have proof please report to roke otherwise drop it.

 

Atleast 3 times*

But yeah this is annoying, it Should auto uncuff when paid

 

1st, I have never done. End of discussion. and 2nd your pretty much tagging sheriffs and saying there doing it wrong.
Not going to argue.

 

I understand how you might see this as an issue, but you have to recognize this. 99% of the time, players can't pay their tickets, so sheriffs are used to not waiting 2 blocks away from a handcuffed player. It's a matter of habit, and if multiple people are telling you this, maybe you should give them a little grace instead of being so adamant with them. Needless to say, we'll do our best to remember that you tend to pay your tickets. Also, I don't think that sheriffs should be required to stand by ticketed players, because oftentimes they take absolutely forever to choose not to pay their bounty and go to jail. Long ones can last anywhere from 5-10 minutes, though in one instance, a person I've ticketed waited over an hour (@Kev917 :v). If you want a change in protocol, sheriffs could wait nearby (not directly next to mind you) players who can pay their bounties until they do so perhaps up to 1.5 minutes, but if the player can't, the sheriff should be able to leave them. Additionally, I'm not certain how legitimate your concerns are considering you blew this very situation out of proportion with me yesterday. When I handcuffed you, I distanced myself about ten blocks from you and you paid your bounty off. There was one other player in the area, but he remained behind me the entire time, yet you lost it. I understand that this might seem frustrating, but I don't think that remaining handcuffed for a few seconds is much of an issue at all. I'm not even sure if the sheriff can be at fault if a person in handcuffs is killed by another player. Please recognize that we currently don't have to defend handcuffed people. Whether we should or not however is open for discussion. :v

The tone of this thread along with this post and your attitude towards most sheriffs in general brings into doubt the legitimacy of your issues. Insulting the people you are trying to get to cooperate with you will get you nowhere. Hopefully this issue will be resolved via an auto-uncuff system eventually.

 

It should be you're unhandcuffed and sent to spawn once you pay off your bounty.

 

The issue is not from the sheriffs but the current handcuffing system. In other words, you really should not be mad towards the sheriffs, and rather to the system. The sheriff almost always goes away to tend to other duties, rather than standing next to a player and wait for them to choose what to do. Also, in times, there are other enemies at the area, and the sheriff can't risk getting killed just waiting for the player. It really should be that when the player pays off their bounty, they should just be automatically released towns or their house if they have one.

 

Just to clarify, sheriffs can't kill anyone in a town if their bounty is lower than 1k. It is theoritically impossible to kill someone that has a bounty lower than 1k.

 

Hihi you did it twice to me yesterday
And yes i reported it to roke

Pyro and me had a blast yesterday about agrueing with you. So lets not do it again.

 

Jaetpack his quote should clarify why this has happend "more than 1 time". It is not illegal for any sheriff to abandone a cuffed player.

This is why we do not answer as nice as you wanted us to Dsawemd.

 

Good idea sir, then why mention it in another thread? And as we already said, abandoning a cuffed player is not illegal for a sheriff to do, so no need for reporting him.
I, myself, have done this quite some times before and uncuffed this player most of the times. Sometimes, I'm just too busy with trying to catch those 10 rogues on my own, which, 1-2 of them might log when I get close.

 

This is even better than sending them to spawn i think.

I waited about 7 min and kept saying once a minute to uncuff me, but he didnt reply or come back. I know that he was chasing pyro but pyro was too fast for him and out of his viewing range. Pyro was in ts with me so yes that is true what i am saying.

 

I never said that what happened wasn't right, but InfiniStus did not have to uncuff you. There is no rule in the sheriff handbook that says that he has to uncuff you, so your report is false.
