We don't assist with other servers. You're best to ask them within their platform.

I think this would be a great idea, to take one of the existing motels in game, and converting them to a property with a renting script. Instead of something like a daily fee, instead you look to pay like 2-5k a week to rent it out, and you get a 1G room/view. The only issues that I can foresee for devs is: What happens to assets placed inside if you fail rent Should you be allowed to place assets down, like safes/containers, etc Shouldn't be allowed to share these rented properties with other players, but also like also would need to make sure people aren't using it to transfer assets over to their other characters I think overall these minor things can be figured out and this would be something great to implement.

1. 300+ people compared to years ago, we're not in a pandemic where people are at home to play. It's not a valid point to bring up massive numbers like this. 2. The changes to bring players back isn't an instant thing. Takes time. 3. Let's keep this post to the topic of providing and seeing feedback for the LSPD faction. LSPD isn't the sole reason for a decline, and it's not fair to blame a single faction.

Luckily, in FiveM some of the speed advantages are removed, like how FPS is tied to how quick and what your max speed is on a vehicle. Outside that, it's not a bad idea to look into some boosts, on whats doable and not out there.

The wheeling rule only takes place during a chase. If you're getting pulled over for wheeling, decide to not pull over and evade, then I'd urge to not wheelie any further during the pursuit. However, outside of pursuits or chases (from other crims), per our rules you're not allowed to wheelie.

So there are a lot of good points in this topic, and some good responses as well. I want to start with by saying this isn't a PD/SD issue for self-transporting, Does it happen? Yes, it has, however it's an in-character issue, and one that LSEMS High Command have been working with PD and SD's Command+ to resolve. However, I can't fault PD/SD for self-transporting injured patients or injured Officers/Deputies. The reason being is that this is where LSEMS fails; available units. During late nights, between midnight and 04:00am, you will be hard pressed to find Medics on shift. This is where LSEMS takes responsibility and cannot fault PD/SD. We need to look internally why people aren't clocking on during these times. We need to look into why people aren't applying to be a medic to fill in these time slots. The first answer to what I asked is for a bunch of reasons. I clocked on last night as the only unit for an hour. During that time I had 0 911 calls. Now was the server population low? Yes, but I being one out of the 50-60 people on the server, someone had to get hurt. Well, no one did, or if they did, they didn't call 911. Why didn't they call 911? Look back at my first paragraph; there's a pattern of units not around thus conditioning people that if they are playing during late night/early mornings on the server that you're not likely to get an EMS response to your 911 call. Next part is, well the vast majority of our 911 calls come from crims. LEO's will drop a panic and get help from their own units, and potentially MD after a department radio reach out. The rest of the community is statistically crim. Well, you fell down a mountain scouting a lab and you have a kit on you. Do you risk calling 911 and either the call gets intercepted by LEO, a medic who is a straight arrow and won't approach because its a "dangerous area", or will call for PD because they see a gun and that's illegal. So, you have the chance of turning an accident into a 50/50 risk of being arrested, or being saved. So what's the right option? Option 3 of course; sending text messages to your friend to come and trunk you. Less riskier, better chance of surviving with your kit, their friend doesn't need to abide by the rules of the road, so they can 240 on the wrong side of the highway to come and trunk you. To the second question I asked, why aren't people applying? Ignore the current dwindling numbers of people playing late at night as a reason because that's a horse beaten to death that we're all aware of. People aren't applying because of one reason; there's nothing to do. As I said earlier, we'll go hours without a 911 call. People aren't doing roadworker jobs anymore. I think in the last 2 months, I've seen a 911 scripted call for a roadworker scene about 5 times. So we sit in the Ambulance Bay, or drive around the city, sit at Legion Square, go to an event because people get silly when they know a medic is around. There's just nothing for us to do. We have divisions that people can be apart of; AMU, Fire and Rescue, Air and Rescue, Public Relations, Basic Life Support, and the last two RED/Field Training require applicants/EMR's. So, let's take AMU for example, as it is the only one I am qualified to discuss confidently. It's a bleeding division. It's a division that requires in-depth roleplay that furthers character development. As pointed out earlier, this is becoming something less and less these days. Even then, when we do get the rare individual who wants it, we don't have individuals in MD who are interested in doing this in-depth roleplay that often. Even those that are fall victim to player availability; people at work, or busy with real life or they're on-duty at LEO. When the argument comes up about how Black Doctors could be stealing from RP from MD, its possible. However, I looked within the last week, and there were only 268 instances of individuals going to the Black Doctor to get healed. This is not that much, honestly. Looking at stabilize, there were about 180 instances in the last week, and about 110 instances of cpr, give or take for those that mention the commands in OOC chat. Yes, Black Doctors being used are significantly more than /cpr or /stabilize, but at a basic level of context, 268 is not that detrimental to need a Medic. Outside of that, when people DO need or approach a medic for healing, the roleplay we get is "I need a painkiller" or "I need an ice-pack". Now, we cannot deny a player roleplay, but I do like to prompt players to a bit more roleplay by telling them I don't carry painkillers. So I get them to think a little more on their injury and try and give them a little bit more roleplay. However, I agree, MD needs more script support for medical roleplay, but the fact of the matter is, there are systems in place that completely negate needing MD. It's evident now, as MD can just exist as an MLO and people will still persist as normal. Sure those under NLR will increase, but people will still go on with their lives. All in all though, as MD exists as it is needs to be reflected upon internally before we can look to try and point fingers elsewhere. I do like getting public insight and views on the faction. I would like to know why people aren't calling for MD, what people thing MD is lacking to provide them in the server. What MD is doing wrong, and what you think we can do to improve.

10. Non-Roleplay (Non-RP) Non-Roleplay Non-Roleplay behavior is considered as actions that are unrealistic or promote poor quality roleplay. It's difficult to interpret or understand what good roleplay can be sometimes, and we aim to steer players in the direction we want them to go through our server rules. Players are welcome to speak to staff for guidance in regard to roleplay. Some examples (not exhaustive) of Non-RP: Doing wheelies on motorcycles in chases or in other situations where the speed grants an advantage over others. (The speed boost from doing wheelies in GTA 5 is unrealistic; thus, it's not allowed in situations where the speed is an advantage over others.) Leaning forward is fine. Current rules state why, and allowing this just against Law Enforcement makes zero sense. I highlighted specifically in the bullet point why.

Log out if you have to go AFK. Plain and simple.

Support Staff Team Update Dapph has resigned from the support staff team.

Support Staff Team Update Kari has been reinstated to the support staff team as a Senior Support.

You can already buy helmets and gear in the clothing store. Not really a suggestion that was left pending since 2021.

Support Staff Team Update Woodro has been removed from the Support Staff team.

When you break server rules that result in punishments, including bans, this is not a reflection of a character, but the player. This would make no sense to "ban a character".
