This is particularly a big issue and why I'd personally like to see faction management more involved and have more power regarding factions and/or disabling server rules.

There are two farms available. The locations you have to find out IC, but there are two farms.

The highlight is a really nice idea for those big RP situations.

The issue is that you can't really prevent it. Let's say 10 zetas are cooking at LSD. A guy that hates zetas drives by, goes to Sandy MD and calls 911. How do you prevent that?

I'm actually quite fond of this idea. It is too often that people come to shootouts with 5 ammo pistols and just use their cars to do as much damage as possible. It's time to let shooters win shootouts, not drivers. +1

Andre was one of the captured individuals at the Movie Studio Massacre and the police escort was definitively up for the task. Vory was back into town and once again neutral with the Council. We met to see where that would leave us, and we agreed on a common enemy: NLA. A day later, we had a general meeting with most of Vory and WCA, and pledged to see the end of NLA in this city. All other conflicts would be dropped to focus on their end. Vory and Misfits were now neutral again, and they were asked about their feelings towards NLA, which they claimed were mixed at best. There would be no help for NLA. Happy off of two successful meetings, we celebrated by relieving an NLA of her hair, and continued forward unto the next meetings. The weekly meeting was presided over by Brian and Lu because of Bruce's mini-vacation, and they were made aware of the recent developments. Rooks were the final meeting of the night, where they renewed their pledge to end NLA, and made neutrality with Vory towards that goal. There will be no help. There will be no mercy. All they can do now is pray.

The enemies of the organization continue to zerg the motel with five gangs against one as they trip over each-other to claim the elusive victory over WCA. However the Assassins took them up on single combat, and none of them measured up. Especially the friendly Paleto church crew, who had to call upon the services of the church once more.

----- Back on topic. LSPD/SASD having flashlights would not be a big deal, however them having extended mags would be a considerable buff, and would affect balance. Law enforcement mains are also not taking into account the opportunity cost in development time. If development time is put into this (relatively unneeded) suggestion, then criminal suggestions are pushed further back. big -1

It is not at all hard to say who started reporting who, if you actually spend the time to go to the player report archive. They are sorted by oldest post, and the creation date of each thread can be seen. In my point of view, NLA started the reports when they felt that they could no longer RP the same way they could when they were at peace. As in, they had to constantly be ready to get hit, couldn't chill at the hood, etc.. I feel that they took this IC consequence as OOC inconvenience and tried to stop it by any means. Since the war started Carlos (Dylan Ortiz) filed something close to 30 reports, in around 35 days. Tab Yez had a streak in which he filed 8 reports in cca 10 days, out of which 6 were denied and in 2 he was punished himself for breaking rules. Similar numbers were displayed by Joey Poppins at one point. These aren't attacks on these specific people, just stating stats. I for one feel that the OOC situation with NLA calmed down once the reports started getting denied, and they took the new location, and kinda hid from attacks. Not to say that they are hiding, we are still getting attacked, and attacking ICly. All in all, it's calming down, and there's no reason to re-kindle it. I also feel that you're a bit wrong in how you view the player report section, especially after my conversation with the high admin team and handler team. Instead of looking at report simply by "they made a report" or "WCA making reports", you should be looking at which reports get accepted, and which are denied, especially the ones denied for being petty. That would give you a better sense of who's filing valid reports (overall positive action, encouraged by the server rules), and who is filing invalid and/or petty reports.

The issue is that there is legitimate reason to wait 1 minute for a decision when calculating odds and such. Probably not every hand though. I'd say that if the last bet was over 20k, the other players should have a minute to think.

I can confirm we replicated this bug. The house owner put down the door, and set the accessdoortype to 1, then gave me all of the property permissions. I still couldn't see a keypad when typing /accessdoor.

The weekly Triad meeting took place at their new hideout, where we were welcomed by a particularly shirtless high-command. Retreated back to the motel and had a high level discussion about the Oti situation. The blue half of the council was informed, and we settled to hear Oti's side of things. It was very succinct. They like robbing people. They rob us too. No other reason. However, we weren't the only ones being robbed by Oti, and a meeting was called. Just like that, another nail was hammered into the NLA coffin, and the jackboi crew will have to work twice as hard. After being ridden with hospital bills all day, Oti was left heavy-less; All his heavies and machine pistols in green hands, he came at us with a pistol. NLA was having to rely on the services of a priest so often, that they moved into a Church. The SASD is just down the road, therefore their two most used services will be close by: funerals and 911.

It should be noted that /takeguns currently removes the weapon from the server. It would need to be modified to transfer it instead.

It makes sense. +1

WCA does not have an issue with the IC conflict. This is where you're confused @OBESE. I told you this IC, and I'll say it OOC for you as well. We started this conflict in 2019, you kept begging us to end it, we're going to carry it not into 2020, but into 2021. The only issue we've had so far is members of your faction spamming invalid reports. Two members made 12 reports, out of which 11 were rejected. This kind of OOC pressure is what makes you a faction that people are talking about forcefully disbanding.

That does happen. In fact it happened between our organizations twice, and between VICE and Council when it came back. The council was set to fight a war with us, but they still didn't attack us during the meet. There are a lot of issues with diplomacy and criminal roleplay, but for the most part, parlays are respected.

This isn't really about your personal situation, however since you wish to make it about it, I'd say, that in my opinion, you're part of the problem, not the victim of it. In the week prior to your NonRP #6 ban, you made a total of three reports for very minor things and/or containing far flung accusations. All three of them were rejected. Take a hard look at your own conduct, and your contributions to the current illegal faction environment.

I don't like randomness in this. I feel like it's going to turn into the same thing as engine stalls. Sometimes all it takes is one bullet for the engine to go, and other times you'll have 15 cops shooting carbines and it doesn't stall. It's a bit too much RNG into an otherwise skill-based combat system.

Cruising by NLA hood, we found a contender with a few people, just standing, enjoying the protection the cameras afford them. As we made our way up north, we found two NLA outside their hood, and lacking protection, they were promptly put on their knees. Swinging by Grove St, we received the second half of the tribute from Ballas and left on a good note. It was then settled to have an impromptu meeting, where we discussed some issues and ways to avoid them in the future. A more select meeting followed, as more long-term subjects were discussed for the organization. Neutrality was formally established with GD, and Oti in particular seemed very energetic and ready to take on their enemies. We then linked up with the Triads, in what's hopefully the first of many meetings in the new year. They even managed to fulfill a request of Andre, on the spot. The fights and meetings behind them, the whole crew went to the new club, where the VIP section was green and blue only.

Trey met with his counterpart in the Triads for the last payment of the year, and discussed the gang's progress since it's inception to the present, and the future. As the year drew to it's end, the Ballas resurfaced and agreed to pay their dues and make formal peace. Armed and ready, the gang climbs the mountain as they're about to engage in the last great battle of the year.

I can confirm that the plate option does nothing with older vehicles. Tested with Comet Retro.

big -1 There are major sync issues caused by the client (RAGE) and throwing one-shot kills into that mix is a recipe for disaster and a lot of frustration. If RAGE delivers on their miracle patch and greatly improves sync, it might be worth it to re-visit the topic. But as it stands, it would just make all sync issues 10x worse.

The war with NLA continues and they are pursued every time they venture outside the safety of Tequila-la and/or LSB. Their vehicles do no fare any better, constantly finding themselves chopped by the Assassins. We loaded up in vehicles, and went out to the Chumash Plaza to meet the Misfits. The tension was high, as several of their members had issues with the transition from enemies to neutral. Trey decided to lighten up the mood with a joke. Before the night was over, we received word that a lone deputy was about to arrest one of us.
