You misunderstand me. Those suggestions, along with balas and everyone elses i feel are really good. But there are already plenty of suggestions based around rpg elements/rankings/reworks for freelance jobs. This isnt that. This thread is a suggestion for a rulechange. Nothing more. This isnt a discussion of why people feel the need to be gangsta working at burgershot, merely the wish to have it written into the ruleset as not allowed. That said the admins have done a really good job of checking in on burgershot more and more so now its maybe only 60% of the shitshow it used to be.

shopping/cooking/foodbuffs would be alot of fun +1

+1. if i have a gun to someones head i should be able to yknow, pull the trigger.

+1 if it assists MD rp.

i would love this to become a thing. Primarily for creativity reasons, but also to reduce the ammount of clipping issues. current Building rules are that additions should be realistic as possible and clipping should be kept to a minimum. however if my entire plan for a property is based on a chair, i would like to be able to declare that that chair, that i didnt place, can get fucked.

The next gen of PD.

as for the undercover cars complaint: See what @Cup says, there's a difference between unmarked and undercover and are checks to make sure theres a good ratio of all. As for the rest of the post its basically a bit of a salt mine. clearly you are not happy with playing crim right now but your post isnt helping. break down why you feel this way into individual issues, come up with ways to fix them, organise those thoughts into individual suggestions and throw them back up here. then we can actually discuss them.

If you see this why are you not Reporting/IAing it? people complain about PD/SD pulling all kinds of shit and then when asked cant actually provide any evidence to support it just smacks of rumor mill and is really fucking weak sauce. If you are not reporting this kind of behaviour then you are just as much the problem as the cop you alleged was doing it.

Cool idea. wont happen tho. It would undermine the current paid VIP system. which is the servers primary source of income. maybe if this was purely for people who already paid for VIP. that might fly. cant see it happening otherwise tho.

I still think the best way to make JB relevant again is to cut the wait times, allow more agency, give JB employees more reasons to stay clocked on and allow trials to be more interactive. any suggestions that enable this i am 100% behind.

Its so...hard to make that work. because the lawyer has to be clocked on and available right during the arrest. at any rate ive never personally seen LEOs radio for a lawyer on an active scene, and i dont think its viable.

I mean this threads kinda expanded onto how to fix JB. if it so offends you im sorry.

Maybe if JB had the ability to investigate NPC cases, iunno like consider mini events like how roadworkers works, where you drive to a location, take interviews, investigate stuff, have actual stuff to do it might motivate JB members to stay clocked on and become a playable faction. then people would stay clocked on and be more available to move cases forward. I don't know Im just spitballing here because I do have very fond memories of JB and they have/had some really dedicated players. Colt, Judy, Robert, Hugh, Shaun, Hope, Tony but to name a few and I don't wanna see the faction fold.

The civil court would provide a lot of variety to the RP ops and give JB more agency. it was in the works for a long time but, again, very few people want to play as JB in its current state. Colt stepped down among others and the rest of JB seem to be in a barely functional holding pattern because JB is not fun, its an obligation. I really feel the minute to minute gameplay needs to be looked at. currently they have nothing to do but set up and wait for court dates, which is an IRL day job, not a fun RP experience. Court days are held as events, one offs like club gigs or races or other things, and they are a lot of fun, but between that, JB have nothing to do besides answering emails, amending dockets and other paperwork. they have very little to do that could be considered fun consistent RP. I Imagine the initial idea was that through working with either LEOs or defendants, the RP would create itself and JB would have more interactive activities. but that hasn't happened. LEOs have their own thing to do and don't want to devote time or energy to a separate branch and your average crim has their own plans for their playtime which doesn't involve going to city hall and sitting down with a lawyer. JB are the ones left holding the bag on this which is unfair, but the reality.

-1. I feel like the current method of having to appeal a perma ban after a period of time is good for a reason you give. some people will change their attitude and some people will not. having to demonstrate your attitude change in writing to the guy that banned you sounds like a much more secure way to stop asshole reinfection rates than your irl jtime just being up and no check on weather or not you actually learned your lesson or took on board the punishment being made.

Honestly ill go out on a limb and say that it was inevitable that this was gonna turn into yet another LEO v Crim Debate. Which is unfortunate because this distracts from the actual points I was trying to make earlier on how to fix JB. I do not think its possible for JB to operate as an IC actual justice system in the current state of the server. all it would serve up is OOC drama. it wouldn't fix anything. JBs strength lies in its ability to produce RP Ops quite unlike anything else you'll see on the server. Trials can be extremely fun and the fallout of them can create really cool Ops. One of the biggest issues we are encountering is that most people seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of JBs purpose in the server: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AVENUE TO CORRECT AN INJUSTICE DONE ONTO YOU BY AN LEO, THATS WHAT THE IA SYSTEM IS FOR. The IA system is designed to investigate and resolve an issue in a matter of days. JB has never been designed to do that. IAs can handle both IC and OOC grievances and can be used in conjunction with the reports system for rule breaks. it is completely separate to JB. if you are a criminal and you feel you have been fucked over by an over reaching LEO. that is where you should be directing your concern. not to JB. JB should be an avenue for facilitating RP ops involving a legal system. and i think it can do this alot better if we massively cut out the realistic clutter and just speed the whole process up. ive already outlined what i think we need to do to accomplish that above. But the current biggest issue remains peoples misconceptions regarding the branches role on the server.

+1 i always thought it was ass backwards that we tried to push through life invader, a social media platform, before we had a phone with the UI to make the most of it.

id rather there was a way to resist being tackled, like we have a way to resist being cuffed.

This is my biggest problem with the suggestion. itll just turn Cayo into the domination map for the biggest group, and the winner will gain an incredible market share.

I can ofcourse get behind all of those suggestions. i have a crim, a civ, and an LEO character at this point. i'm just happy the server is getting constant development that all can get behind.

Maybe half and half? If we can agree that cops need crims to exist and vice versa, dosent it makes sense to crack both sides evenly? I totally get that crims want crim updates and LEOs want LEO updates. thats natural. so lets split the difference and prioritise for both. Surely you cant be suggesting that one side deserves more attention than another.

This list is excellent, but also extensive. perhaps if we wanted to put to votes what the community felt were the most important issues we could better prioritise.

With that in mind, a money transporter would have intimate knowlege of the inner working of an atm, so if you frequently do that job you should also smash ATMs faster

+1 I think RPG style skills has been an idea floated around a lot since the drug rework and im a big fan of it. I like the idea of jobs/roles having specialist traits, which make total sense from an RP perspective. ofcourse an experienced angler is gonna catch way more fish than a novice. i also like the idea of freelance and crim jobs becoming interlinked. something like "Jims such a good fisherman, his keen eye and stready hands also means hes exceptional at lockpicking." not the best example but you get the idea. Alot of people find alot of the freelance jobs to be unfulfilling and not worth. if there was a reason to grind them besides the mostly mediocre money more people might do them in more variety.
