I am sure that OOC factors were taken into consideration before implementing the recent changes ICly. - Ultimately, any change would have to be implemented with IC reasoning but the OOC argument has it's place too. I agree, there is always a stronger argument for realism from the side it benefits, however in this specific scenario, what negative impact does it have for either side? Anyone using a licence for illegal means would still risk having their licence taken away from them.

I understand your point, but as previously stated, lengthy punishments can cause people to lose interest OOCly. Whilst you might be more than happy to see those players join another server, if it meant the server became a lot quieter and there were less people to interact with, then I feel you might think differently. Right now, the player count is not bad but I would say this suggestion would be helping towards quality of life and either slow the decline of players, maintain player count or increase player count. I don't see this suggestion having a negative impact on the player count and it would still ensure a punishment remained for what is still a lengthy time. I know we don't like to see change but I genuinely feel a suggestion like this is constructive. The implementation and policy itself is IC but there is definitely an OOC aspect to the discussion as there are some OOC arguments for this to change.

+1 - If the wait time is too unrealistic, people will get bored rather than try to reform. Whilst IC actions need IC consequences, these need to not be too harsh because at the end of the day, this is still a game and these wait times restrict some potentially great character developments.

Issue Being Reported: Unable to receive gifted credits. Date and Time of Issue (provide timezone): 18/09/2023 Your characters name: Ed Timpson Other player(s) involved: Name(s) here Evidence and/or notes worth mentioning: My username contains an underscore. I am assuming this is causing the error. Friends are unable to send me credits as it tells them the username does not exist. I have tried sending credits to a friend of mine who also has an underscore and I was not able to either. My account was registered in 2017.

I think Solitary Confinement should be capped at a set time, no more than 30 minutes. To be inside a box where you can not roleplay, interact, earn money, do anything really, seems like more of an OOC punishment than something that promotes RP. Some RP that would get you into Solitary, creates great roleplay for DOC but the punishment for the player can make it not worthwhile. I understand actions have consequences, but this is still a game at the end of the day and if you punish too harshly then the deterrent will only limit RP opportunities rather than enhance it. I am interested in what other people think though, as this is just my opinion on the matter.

I hereby conclude that this contracts time period has come to an end. No money has been claimed by Ted Timpson and the contract ended 2 years ago. Signed, James Williamson

I, James Williamson agree to the terms of the 95K loan.

Completely agree with this. If the rule is in place then it can start being enforced which will allow for greater RP scenarios to take place.

Pepsi Max buddy!
