Hello this one guy came on today claiming to be a dev, i am curious to how much freedom the devs have to e.g give out their identity ingame et.c or are they playing just like any other normal players?
Well, for all we know, Garry logs in under dummy stealth accounts to see who's the asshole who thinks the devs aren't looking... but AFAIK they log onto accounts clearly named after them.
However, this is another consequence of the renaming feature. I wonder if Garry/devs think it's a good idea to allow themselves to be impersonated as well (or if this is possible, I'm assuming it is but I haven't seen the code so fuck I know).
If it was a normal player who had a dev's name he will most likely be banned
Well someone logged on claiming to be a dev im curious if they are allowed to tell us that they are ingame.

I'm 99% sure they make it very obvious that they're the devs, and I don't even have a Rust key.
Impersonation is allowed.

[QUOTE]On the one hand it allows you to impersonate other players in game. Especially in chat. This could lead players to give other players a bad reputation etc.
On the other hand it allows you to impersonate other players in game. This give an extra level of emergent gameplay as players impersonate other players to infiltrate groups of friends and ultimately betray them.[/QUOTE]

devs have a white name when you see them in game and when they write something in chat its red :)

can anyone confirm this?
[QUOTE=glitchdetect;42223080]can anyone confirm this?[/QUOTE]
It's not true.
I've seen Garry, Pat & Helk write in chat numorous of times. - Yes the real ones.

funny how a dev teleported to us yesterday, had a white name and red text in chat. he was part of the coder team.

We don't have anything to differentiate ourselves in chat IIRC

maybe somebody figured out color codes for the chat

Yeah, garry looks after the game. I just now realized why 3 servers is enough.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;42223402]We don't have anything to differentiate ourselves in chat IIRC[/QUOTE]
his name was white, his chat was red and he said he was part of the code team so idk
In the US server Pat and Helk said in chat they want to play the game as a "normal" person without Mod powers.. Not sure if they use random names.. not sure if garry did it aswell so :D
[QUOTE=glitchdetect;42223080]can anyone confirm this?[/QUOTE]
I do remember seeing a white name.
But AFAIK if someone is impersonating the devs, they get banned.
I saw someone with a white name and red text yesterday posting on the EU server saying like "Dev here, whats going on?"-something ish..
Helk, Pat, Garri > Look over the names so people can't make code to change color.
[QUOTE]But AFAIK if someone is impersonating the devs, they get banned.[/QUOTE]
- There are no official rules yet, so no reason to get banned.
- Garry said himself that impersonating other people is allowed

Impersonating other players != impersonating the developers to lie to people
I doubt any rules will be set up, or anybody will be banned for anything but hacking/inactivity until the game is closer to release.
Also, nice profile picture
There is a player called Turn (or something like that) that has his name and chat reversed in color. No devs. (glitcher)
Developers are allowed to say their name in-game.
You will be banned for impersonating an administrator, for example when garry :D had garry's name, garry banned him. Leif, don't run your mouth before researching.

You're actually incorrect. You are allowed to impersonate as ANYONE. Including Garry. It's clearly stated in the update. You should do some research.

Then why did Garry ban him for impersonating Garry? Clearly you can't read.

prolly gonna get a ban for this but here we go..
are you fucking retarded? pretending to be the devs would ofc get you in trouble, they added the feature so you could infiltrate groups, not fucking pretend to be someone who actually has a job.

Just because a rule hasn't been updated to include "Don't impersonate devs" doesn't mean that it's allowed.
They said not to impersonate devs.

Since the rule hasn't been updated. No one can actually know until he decides to post something about it. Nowhere does it say it isn't allowed and the option to do so is available. Show me where they said you can't. If not, until Garry or any other dev states so, your argument is invalid.

You're an idiot. He set a precedent by banning garry :D.

Are you mad? Lol how am I an idiot? Where's your proof of this? Prove it and support your argument. You sound unintelligent when you babble about nonsense with no proof besides your own words.

I read that and seemed very interesting but to fix the issue of not wanting some one to trick u just have a code or a sighn with your friends that only they would know
