Organized vigilantism becoming a thing...

Inspired by a recent recruit post, I find myself wondering how this community considers the ramifications of organized vigilante groups. If players begin to leap from server to server, connected by external communication like teamspeak or a party, determined to quell so called griefers and trolls, does this bode well for free roam death match as it is?

It occurred to me groups who focus on this type of game play, apparently in the name of justice, are in reality simply another gang hiding under a veneer of integrity. However, had production made a better effort to accommodate other styles of play, maybe the idea of vigilante justice would never even occur. It's a topic that interests me, forgive me if it strikes a negative chord.

Doesn't strike a negative chord, it strikes a "it's only a game, who gives a f*ck" chord - think it's an E minor..

Nah, it's more of a "the OP has decided to post the same topic as he did before (i.e. omg, why all the PvP?!!)" chord - I believe it's Bmaj7aug9.

I think you'll find it's a diminished chord. It looks like there's tons of them, but in reality there's only 3.

You've exactly hit what I was getting at in that thread (other than it being an obvious troll thread, probably by the tank run idiot with a new account). They're just another gang. THEY decide who to attack and they justify it. At least with a regular griefer they do it because they want to - end of. These pricks try and explain it away to the point where they picture themselves stood in the wind with a cape on, hands on hips, staring into the sky. I truly hope to see these guys online. I'd enjoy pummelling them, after coordinating it with everyone else in the session.

I love that players are starting to take matters into their own hands to stop griefers. It's a sign that the community is moving forward and trying to become a little more mature and a bit less bitter and spiteful.

I don't care about organized groups (vigilantes) really but you know what group I hate....those fake ass mafia/mob/cartels that keep sending messages about who they killed even though it wasn't you and your not a part of their clique...honestly had one guy message me asking if I was in a crime family...I couldn't stop laughing. He blew me up as I came out of my garage and had the balls to MARP telling them I was assassinated as if anybody other than me had interest in the matter.

I'm going to become a vigilante, but I'm not going to let myself be corrupted by tha powa.

 

I will NOT shoot on sight. First, I will attempt to pull you over and give you a ticket in my cruiser.

 

Failure to pull over/resisting arrest will result in a VERY stern warning...

Who the f*ck uses teamspeak for consoles?

People don't even use it for PC gaming! Most default to Ventrilo, Mumble, or even Skype.

Me and one friend use Google Hangouts when we're playing together. It's a lot clearer than the in-game chat and if we're not actually together then we can see video of each other as well. It made attacking his apartment in my buzzard most amusing, being able to see myself hovering outside his window and shooting rockets at him.

You only get 3 warnings folks, so be afraid. Be VERY afraid...

 

Three strikes, and your ass is going to be bombarded with tear gas.

As always, it depends on the people involved. We only have to look at Scubadave and his tank shifts to know what the bad examples of this look like.

You should try reading someone's post before commenting on it. The chances of you looking stupid diminish, I promise.
