More Faction Membership Back in the day, you could only be part of 1 Faction. The factions were modified so you could be in 2 factions. As I understand, this was done as a test, to see how well it worked, as well as to expand players options to do other things and be part of other factions and it works pretty well now. With the expansion of all types of factions, players, positions and jobs I would like to propose the following. Expand the factions you can be part of to 5. Since the faction membership is based on a 'number' it should be able to be expanded the same way where you can /f # for your factions. At minimum players should have the ability to be in at least 3 factions to have expanded RP options and opportunities to participate in.

Fighting and Knock Out without the risk of death! At this point, all damage done can be considered 'lethal damage' as you could be put into a downed state, and die from that state if not treated. Fist / Blunt weapons, even suggested car accidents should do none or very little to HP and instead issue 'wellness' damage. This would avoid putting someone in a death, or eventual death state but offer more options in the state of wellness. All blunt melee weapons and fists should do very little HP damage, but could do 'wellness' damage. Loosing wellness would eventually put you in a KO state, and/or Skull state, where you would need to recover. Being in a KO state could immobilize and put you in a stable and not bleeding out state, but could recover eventually when Wellness recovers to a certain state, or when you get medical treatment. Medical treatment could come from pain relievers, medics or time at a hospital. The gain? Blunt objects and punching could then be used in a more RP friendly way, that would be less considered considered or lead to DM. You could get into a bar brawl and eventually walk it off, or you could have a fight club, even a prison riot could take place, giving plenty of time for further RP to occur with lockdown and treatment. You could punch another individual without worrying if they've eaten in the last hour, and you'd visibly be able to see, if they're low wellness with limping indicating areas of wellness stages. This would additionally translate to other blunt weapons, all with their own amount of damage they do to both HP and Wellness. Weapons and fists that do HP damage would be smaller then wellness, but would still require additional recover time, and indicate on its own, that it is, in itself a little risky.

With The Diamond Casino & Resort update, we got access to a lot of amazing and beautiful assets that we have yet to really take advantage of, in the Casino space. I would like to suggest and present some great ideas and resources to really open up and centralize an amazing gambling space for the server. Introducing... The Diamond Casino & Resort The Casino has been open and closed in various stages all in all there was some great RP but now, we can experience and offer much more. The floor could be opened to games and gambling, the rooms could be temporarily or even permanently owned. All gambling and the NCZ could be consolidated and moved to the Casino itself and players/staff would be able to focus more on a larger RP scene as most games and activities could be scripted. Freelance jobs could even attach to them where the bank truck would pick up, or drop off money regularly at the garage. We could also use the already, ready interior and fill it as we need from it's available bare state (there is a cleaner one as well). The casino floor could easily house several games and types of games and many scripts related can be found here. Roulette * (another) Lucky Wheel BlackJack Poker Dice Slot Machines With these games, the group and employees that run the Casino, don't have to focus much on running the games themselves, only the operations of the Casino. Making sure games are working, players are engaged, maybe operating a currency/chip exchange, serving drinks, providing entertainment, patrolling the areas, answering questions and overall customer services.

Shadow - Updates Here's a bit of what's going on around the office and in town. With the new office, the Valkyrie was chosen to be sold and another property is ready to sell. Another club was foreclosed due to payment failures and is looking for a new owner! We're often out looking for great properties and homes to offer new and potential owners. The media department assisted and organized with Burnout Nation and our client in hosting an an amazing car show, open for everyone. The office is still undergoing construction, but in its final stages. With all the great work many of our employees have put in, we're soon to open to the public. We've already had several visitors. During an associates 'Birthday Bash', Atomic Auto donated a car to the party in recognition of the positive work they and their friends do in the city! Atomic sold it's 4000th car under the Shadow Corporation and helped a new owner get a car they wanted by offering to make it a unique, one of a kind 'Atomic' vehicle with maximum performance and design at no extra cost.

-1 You can only be in two factions at one time and with several various factions existing and many wanting to be involved in more than two now, it would be difficult to choose. I do believe however, aircraft could be implemented as a very strict licensing process and training, governed by an existing government faction.

+1 Just force a wheel chair for the first 5min after you get out of hospital... make it so you can only get into vans if you're still 'wheelchair bound'.

Tested. Tried: "Passwords must be at least 8 characters long, include one uppercase and one lowercase letter, and include one number or symbol". Password doesn't seem to matter. Tested: New character that does not show in users. From what I understood, in the past, once you attempted to log in, it would create the account for you. However, it only gives an error now, that it doesn't exist. Conclusion: Seems like users are not created on character creation, or .. the credentials are not added/verified on a regular basis.

There's no reason to split licenses up. Especially other driving licenses. These are designated as 'endorsements' anyway and would be part of your standard licensing. It's partially understandable to split the /cwp (concealed weapon permit) kind of licensing. Either way, this suggestion, being under factions, is focused on creating a /badge like display, to show proof you exist in a faction... Business cards would have names, but tats or symbols, probably wouldn't.. could just say "<Player ID/Name (if known)> shows you their <Faction Name> Symbol"
