At the begging of this year, we had a cleanup of the codes. This was because new players found it hard to study all codes and remember them.I suppose Code 5 will not be hard to remember, forget the rest.
Hence why the codes list has been shortened, as far as I remember. A few weeks ago someone suggested some codes and they got denied because of the reason I stated above.
I understand.
But I would still like to read your opinions regarding Code 5.
People constantly misuse Code 4. (Matthew :P)
They use Code 4 when reporting a clear area, when it means No further assistance required.
There are not a lot of codes, so I don't see how one additional code will confuse players.
Code 4 means there's no need for units at your location, if you're at some part of city and it's clear, then logically, you don't need any units there since it's clear.http://arpd.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=19454.msg305679#msg305679 (http://arpd.argonathrpg.com/forum/index.php?topic=19454.msg305679#msg305679)
I asked Leon to confirm this, and he agreed, you were there with me and I told you about it, still you wanted to go your way.
The codes are kinda dynamic, for example, many people use C30 just to request C3 backup while the code actually means officer in danger and once you arrive, you just see bunch unarmed civilians nearby..
The codes should be just a little indication of the situation, if you want greater description then you should talk it out with letters and describe it properly like a human being.
"Williams || U1 arrived to the trafficstop, Code 4, over"I understand.

Then tell them in radio what is the correct way to use them..
As i see rusty didnt agreed with you he only agreed on the fact that C4 is misused that has nothing to do with you fact of Code 5These are two different topics.
Indeed and rusty mentioned you that people do not use Code 4 with the right meaning so it's bullshit that you say rusty agreed with me.I only made sure I am right, and he said I am.
Code 5 - 5 characters. Clear - 5 characters.C5
The idea is to shorten things up, therefore using another code is useless. And Code 5 was previously used by DPD so watch out.
Clear.
I acctually prefer using C5 because it fills the emptyness C4 left when we used C4 instead of clear
We are already using C3, C4,10-4,10-8,10-7,207 very often and new players don't have problems learning those, it is just about a matter of time that OLD cops get used of using C5 and not new cops
trust me a few more codes won't change alot on the radio communication, I really support this idea
So you'll be using something which is not officially accepted?Yes.

I will try to explain to officers who ask ,what does the code mean... I am not waiting for the code to become official, although I would love that
I don't really see the need of 'C5', Clear is 3 letters longer, just type it.Again, didn't you read my message above?
You don't have to type 'clear' in the middle of a gunfight, you use it to report a certain location is clear. No offense but it sounds a bit like laziness.

I suggested Code 5 because then people will understand that Code 4 isn't right to use when reporting a clear location.

Using another code to fix misuse is NOT a viable solution, start explaining properly to people on radio when you think they've misused it and TEACH them.

Giving up?Yes.
Because you're tired? What do you think I face every day being in charge of the fire department? Have I given up? No because we all can be higher than kids wailing for change that is not needed. Stand up, this is really just.. low.Giving up?Yes.
Code O - donut time!
