  1. Just wedge the jack under the car further and try not to touch the car or handle with your character model when you try to raise it. If it's still bugging on you just place the removed tires on a plane that's slightly elevated to even the height of the car back out. Rotating the jack has never given me an issue. It's only once the first set of wheels have been removed I find.
  2. It's hard to tell players that they should always go for the RP first and learn to take the L but then justify locking them in a cell for hours. Obviously everything is situational but I can totally understand where the frustration sets in for players that primarily play as a criminal and find the mentality very contradicting.
  3. I'm not looking to make a report I just want to know who the idiot is.
  4. So which one of you fucking retards have been approaching me IC talking about cock and AL Qaieda wanting me to give your friend handies? I know you think it's funny. But it's really just fucking weird and definitely a rule break.
  5. I get the impression you may think I was attacking you or your facton Corbyn. I apologize if that is the case. If anyone was throwing around bigoted remarks then they deserve what they got. I have absolutely no idea what the specifics were involving any individuals let go from SD. I was just speaking in general about what free speech is. With that being said.... Every sentence you wrote in the above paragraphs immediately contradicts itself within the next. By and large there seems to be a growing intolerance for opinions that deviate from progressive ones. A large problem is this idea that freedom of speech does not come without consequence. As though if someone holds an opinion that isn't progressive it's completely okay to aggravate, belittle and harass that person as a consequence for their beliefs. This type of behaviour goes completely unpunished and in a lot of cases it's encouraged privately. It's precisely this kind of behaviour that further drives a wedge between progressives and conservatives. Hearts and minds aren't won by shit posting or pretentious sarcasm and if winning the hearts and minds of others isn't their goal then I'm curious to know what their goal is by doing so.
  6. Freedom of speech means having the ability to express yourself and your opinions without consequence. It's precisely what's allowed people to fight ignorant viewpoints that have persisted as social norms for decades. Without it, you wouldn't have progressive movements like the LGBTQ. Saying that freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequence is a fallacy that even you don't believe in. You only believe it in this particular circumstance because it suits punishing those who disagree with you. Imagine having a religious employer that fires you because you're gay and although you have a right to be gay and openly support your lifestyle, this employer would still have the right to fire you because your "beliefs" aren't free from consequences.
  7. Yeah because most players are totally open to the idea of being harassed out of property they've purchased. A simple report can ruin escalation for crims before it even gets off the ground.
  8. Well here's the options: A) They make a late radio call for backup or to warn that they're being arrested and you report them which possibly will result in a banned player. Or B) You radio for backup knowing that the individual just made a radio call and continue on ICly... because 1) there is no RP that would require them to not use their radio barring a major injury and 2) with the exception of not getting their frequency who really cares? You are, of course, role-playing a character who's only intentions should be keeping the peace and maintaining law and order unless you're crooked. This is a dumb conversation that shouldn't even be taking place to begin with.
  9. Unless you're David Blaine, nobody's pulling a .50 out behind their ear. Numerous legals will hit their emergency button whenever they get the chance... because of course they would. It's a dumb rule implemented to ensure LEO's get your freq. Get rid of it. Literally nothing is stopping anyone from using a radio that hasn't been taken from them yet.
  10. +1 Still waiting on group chats.
  11. I don't understand where you got the impression I had a problem with any of this. Anything I said about gang leaders being able to have lysergic readily available in comparison to others that have to wait for it to be dropped is just a comparison I was making in regards to others saying tables "print money". Come out your feelings man or just simply improve your reading comprehension.
  12. what are you on about? I'm talking about having cartel connections and being able to have lysergic readily available instead of needing to pay someone and wait to have it dropped for you. You are not the main character. Everyone will have an opportunity to do the same things everyone else does. This isn't real life. It's a video game.
  13. Can't enter the drug trade without catching a hot one.
  14. Cooking is trash and I refused to do it anymore. But I can see why some players would rather drop a bunch of lysergic and sit in their property for 6 hours cooking. It cuts the grind down or at least allows you to get it over and done with in one shot and gives you the time/money to go and do what you want to do. The only people that were able to sit and "print money" are gang leaders that can drop their own lysergic. All of the buffs to crim activities are small and often include some form of chance. Ie. Randomized items appearing or what time zone you're playing in and how many people are online. The small buffs to crim activities does not make up for gutting the best means of making money crims have. Is this good for getting players out of properties and into the open? Absolutely. ...providing they stick around.
  15. +1 There's no shame in running into unexpected difficulties with the new update and it being delayed. But if it's going to take awhile longer yet just give gangs back attachments until its ready.

  17. That's fair but private labs are incredibly boring. Most people dont even like cooking. It's just the best means of making money. The nerf is essentially punishing people who've invested (a lot) into a system they were forced into because there is no alternative means to making money at that pace anywhere else.
  18. If you want people to do something else then you make the other options more appealing. You dont nerf the fuck out of everyone's most efficient means of making money.
  19. Let the cops keep their stuff for free and just get rid of the no back up rule. This will bring diplomacy back to gangs and even the playing field. The fun part of building comradery is saving your allies from the ops and the cops and dapping each other up afterward. It does not get built on over 10 minute conversations between 6-8 people over whether you're gonna charge someone an extra 3k for .50s or cut then off entirely. It was said that Cops are not your enemy. Wrong. Cops are enemy #1 to every criminal faction on the server. It is quite literally the one thing they all have in common. As far as zerging small gangs go, there are escalation rules and nonrp rules for attacking HQs in place to protect small gangs from getting taxed and waxed. Today's gangs are not as prone to griefing as years past
