VDM Rule Change

Title: VDM Rule Change
Links, videos, context (we love more information, media, etc.): Change the following rule:

"Vehicle Deathmatch is not allowed without a proper reason. You may use your vehicle as a weapon if you or a befriended life is in immediate danger."
to
"Vehicle Deathmatch is not allowed without a proper reason. You may use your vehicle as a weapon if your life is in immediate danger."

Being able to VDM someone who poses no threat to you ruins gunfights, I believe this will make it better for all parties.

I say just remove the rule in total, I think it's stupid how sometimes we have to do things "realistically" during gunfights, shootouts, arrests, etc.

In what world is it realistic of the chief of police to VDM someone in a gun fight, it's just irritating when you're in a gun fight with cops because they just fly down the street and VDM you.

Then when Informals and Lucheese fight all they do is run people over and finish them on the ground. There is no countering a vehicle running down the road 100 miles an hour at you in a PD shootout or not.

VDMing during combat situations very enjoyable and funny. Big risk and big reward!

I'm late. I know I'm late. But I feel this is a funny and appropriate response.

From a player's POV, if your org/freq/party member is in danger, I would like to be able to hit them with a vehicle, it is in the defense of another life whom you've befriended in some way. I get it can be frustrating as the attacking player, but you decided to engage in a hostile situation, if you get hit by my BRZ going 110 mph, that's on you at that point

Uh no, sometimes that could simply be the only option. Player would be sitting there like well shit I don't have a gun, guess he'll just die :shrug:
Again, I get the frustration but at the same time, as the instigator, you're liable to get hit by a car if you're shooting someone's "befriended life". That's kind of just how it is. It's one of the many risks involved in initiating a hostile situation.

The server is completely chaotic and unrealistic, someone gets run over every few minutes for a BS reason. I wonder why staff don't see the bigger issue here. The server used to be great back when we had 80+ people on. The thing that kept players coming was good RP. The amount of PVP and violence nowadays is really unappealing and has left me and others to not return to Monolith.

-support you should be allowed to run someone over if the situation calls for it. I don't think it should be what you resort to, but it should be allowed.

Denied, per reaction from the community, we think its best to keep it where its at atm.
