Rule Rollback Regarding Gang Classes/DM Zones (posted by congested)
There has been some conflict recently regarding the change in DM zone rules, and though some of us felt changing the rules back and then having them change again in the update would be too confusing we held a little admin vote and the consensus was to revert the rule for a few weeks until the update comes out with the Gang Turfs that BrainToad and Vert developed. - After the update DM Zones will not exist, however their will be turf wars in many areas around the map.
What Does This Mean?
Quite simply it means that if you are gang class in a DM Zone (GANGAREA using /find) then you may shoot at anyone that enters who you feel is definitely there to fight you. Other classes may return fire and kill gang classes (except Police who should always try and arrest people unless they are most wanted.)
However!
Do not just shoot at people who are hanging out doing their own thing. If we see rule-bending of this rule you will get punished! It is up to the Admins to decide if you were rule bending or not and no arguments will be tolerated regarding this. If an admin punishes you the decision is FINAL.
Thank You
Thank you for being vocal about this change on the forums, but remember it is temporary until the next update.

Are the rules of Chillpoint clear and easy to understand? Are you able to understand what you can and can't do with ease, or do they cause confusion for you?

SA:MP Has Returned (posted by BrainToad)
As news has already reached most of the Chillpoint community, the developers of SA:MP have decided to bring it back. We thank the developers for reconsidering their decision and hope SA:MP can continue for a very long time, as well as Chillpoint running under it.

Some Sad News (posted by BrainToad)
Today The San Andreas Multiplayer developers has announced that SA:MP has been shut down.
Because of the actions of hackers and their mission to destroy the program and the SA:MP team's unwillingness to put up with it any longer, they have decided to cease work on the mod.
The main server has been taken down as well as the forums and the IRC channel was shut down.
More information can be found at http://www.sa-mp.com
Today is a very sad day for Chillpoint and the rest of the SA:MP community. We can only hope that one day the devs change their mind.
RIP SA:MP
[EDIT] Good news, sa-mp.com is back online!!

New Gang Class rules (posted by BrainToad)
The Gang Zones are special areas on the map where gang class may freely deathmatch. These areas the entire cities of Los Santos and San Fierro as well as Toreno Ranch in Teirra Robada. You will be notified when you enter a gang zone and your location will be displayed as being in a GANGAREA on /find.
Inside of a gang zone, only the Gangster class may deathmatch and they are limited to only killing other Gangster class users. They may not randomly kill whoever they want for no reason (they are still allowed to revenge kill and defend themselves from hitmen and law enforcement/military ).
If your gang member is gang class and is being shot at by another gang class individual, you may defend them only if you are also gang class. You may not defend them if you are any other class, unless that user has done something to fall into the revenge kill category.
http://www.chillpoint.nl/wiki/index.php/Gang_rules
I know these rules are a rather drastic change, but they are necessary for now. They may be changed at a later date as the script evolves.
These rules will be enforced gradually as players learn them and adjust.
