I'll admin that when I started playing here months ago, it was the only server/time that I'd ever used fivem. I never really ventured out, but over the last few days I started getting into watching streams, then trying different ones out, and the one thing that stood out to me as the best thing, was not having steam names visible. This makes the way we do a few things difficult, but I noted that if forced me to role play better. If you need ooc documentation, then the steam user code thing should be enough, and the rest should be all in character.

I'd like the immersion of not knowing who's behind a mask, of if we're on a second character, or a cop is under cover.... I really think this will pick up our RP game a huge amount. I know that you shouldn't use meta information, and I could just not look, but if I have the choice to remember a name in writing, or a few pixels of a face, bad habits are going to form.

+1 only allow admins to use it, but only if necessary for an sdmin situation. Alot of people use it, and it does affect the rp even if you claim you act as if you dont know the person, you feel safer because you know who it is

Let me present a counter argument to this; what does a member do when somebody breaks a rule and they want to report it, but can’t get an ID for an admin to use?

wouldn?t this be a easy fix maybe something like cs with the command ?status? it would give all names and steam id for gta if tech team can make a command to show rp name then steam name?

What if you don't know their RP name?

I feel like this is just going to make adminning harder.

Only show an id and not a name,
You (Adam and jolly) have some good points but i feel like if we can find a good systrm for this it could really improve the rp

I like this solution, but tbh if they wanna use it to meta game... the only solution is to remove ids above heads completely

 

[Cryptic Strolski]

I suggested this exact thing months back, for pretty much the same reason/preventing metagaming. It was denied because it makes it too difficult for admins to get ID's from players basically when reporting someone for RDM/VDM or other things.

so you can see the number of what order someone logged in like current, then take a player takes a screen shot, or as admins should be doing, look at the recording and find the number, then put the number to their steamID code thing.

If a player is wronged by someone in a mask, and need to tell admin on them, they are already salty, they learn the name of the player, they then will have a prejudice against them. This could be conscious, or subconscious, if you know them by voice or mannerisms, then that's RP.
