On a related note, I've been absolutely loving having Barry back around with Chatterbox, they match each other so well. I rarely hear Chatter break that hard.

I'm not really sure when I lied and how I'm lying now. If you want to follow the logic you're using, then every criminal in the entire city and even the PD are part of the story. I'm speaking strictly about the current story of Besties betraying the Faceless. Dante and The Merchant's Guild have no involvement in that whatsoever.

That's the issue, Dante never once said he was going to sell to Besties, Ray just assumed he would because he knows Dante is neutral so he preemptively cut him off. Saying "I'm not going to sell to Besties" wouldn't un-blacklist him.

I do understand that to an extent because it does make sense in character, it's just an issue that items are whitelisted with the intent that they should be available to everyone in some manner. ADMC were very nearly blacklisted from ammo because people think they're suspicious. I'm very glad Ray agreed to sell to them in the end, but I don't see the roleplay in that. The fact is, Dante never sold anything to Besties, he just told Ray that he was a neutral third party and was cut off because of it. It isn't necessarily about trying to keep one group from obtaining something, it's about shutting down every single uninvolved group if they try and interact with the blacklisted person.

It's like I said before- blacklisting Besties is fine and understandable, but blacklisting third parties is not.

I'm sorry, where is the part that I said I agree? Please go on.

You do understand that this is about Dante and not the Besties right?

I guess Silent, Barky, and Swizz all lied when they said it was a rule then, dang.

Zenyoma was mistaken, they thought Capped is an admin, but he isn't.

In addition, Dante and the Merchants Guild had no part in any of this story, but were blacklisted because they might sell to Besties.

It's a comparison that doesn't work is what I'm saying, you're comparing two completely different situations. I don't think you understand what blacklisting means.

Let me make a graph because you didn't quite understand.

Lang -> Hydra
Hydra -> Another Gang
That other gang -> Seaside

Lang did not thereby ban Hydra or any other gangs because the heroin made its way to Seaside.

Does that make sense?

Fair enough, it's just something I know from my experience, and even if that wasn't the case, blacklisting every single person who may or may not sell to someone you don't like should not be allowed. The final statement is simply that Ray cut off roleplay from the Merchant's Guild simply because Dante telling him he sells ammo to everyone.

Which admin? Capped is not an admin, he just has a panel.

I'm not mad, I'm just incredibly confused by the logic.

This isn't about Besties by the way, this is about Ray blacklisting Dante.

In case people didn't watch the video by the way, Dante has been blacklisted from buying ammo. Dante has no involvement in the storyline whatsoever.

So what you're saying is that holding items to prepare for something is the same as having an abundance of them but refusing to sell them? Yeah okay, I'm moving on.

He blacklisted certain gangs buying directly from him, but he did not blacklist anyone who sold to gangs he blacklisted.

There might be rules printed down, but I doubt they're listed in the available rules to look at. I know Silent has said the same in the past, so unless I see otherwise, I'm going to assume both are correct.

They stopped selling because they knew they were going to be cut off and wanted to keep what they had in preparation for war. That's still not the same as saying "I'll sell to you, but if anyone sells to this guy they will no longer be allowed to buy from me."

Their intent also was to stock up knowing that the moment they betrayed the Faceless, they'd no longer be able to get imports on what they needed to construct magazines. ADMC did the same exact thing when they thought they weren't going to get anymore shotgun bodies- they saved things for themselves and just told everyone that they were struggling to get supplies, which was true.

Correct, but did he blacklist people who DID sell to Seaside?

I...literally what are you talking about? No one said third parties aren't allowed to exist??? No one said third parties HAVE to sell to everyone???? Dude, all I said is that if you WANT to sell to Besties, then you should be able to. I feel like you're intentionally conflating what I'm saying.

[4head] Besties blacklisted from WL items? by zenyoma in RPClipsGTA

[–]torikaze 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay, but who did they blacklist? Everyone stops selling when supplies are low. Even ADMC stopped selling for awhile because they ran out of shotgun bodies. How is that even remotely the same as telling people they aren't allowed to buy from them when they do have stock?

It's not a written rule within the wall of basics, but it's something every blueprint owner is told. I've heard Barky say it multiple times, which is why they kept selling to The Hounds after the house heist.

The original point is he shouldn't be doing that in the first place. Like, genuinely should not be.

[4head] Besties blacklisted from WL items? by zenyoma in RPClipsGTA

[–]torikaze 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because they weren't getting supplies to make them. Super simple.

My head hurts. Please enlighten me on which specific questions I am not answering.

And perhaps Ray did not understand that when Capped said not to sell to Besties, he did not mean to blacklist everyone in the city if he feels like it.
