The server with 100 people right now is more active than when it had 300 with interior cooking. It doesn't matter what the number says, what matters is how many people aren't afk and actually doing stuff.

This is not acceptable within PD GND, if you have evidence of this occurring, please send it to me personally. realAlex on discord, or make a formal internal affairs report; either way, we want to stop this behavior as much as you, but we can not act on rumors.

The last thing we need right now is to segregate people in interiors. -1

We've all seen how CRIM-1 was used by OTF last time criminals had easy access to helicopters. It's restricted for a reason, and that reason is that people are unwilling or unable to moderate themselves.

Because people already shoot cops too much and for little reason. Giving them free loot for it would only further tilt us in a cops and referrers direction. The issue with realism is that you don't really want it, you want it to be realistic for cops only. For example, next time you get arrested with drugs, I get to take away your house and car permanently until you prove that you bought it with legal money and not proceeds from drugs. Would that be fun for criminals?

If legal factions had to fund their own activities, the main crim funding strategy of bennys would close tomorrow, they operate at a huge deficit and are paid with spawned money. You're not gonna cut down on AIR deployments before you stop employing ~80 gang members as mechanics. This is a classic example of wanting a standard set for law enforcement that no one else follows on the server.

What's the actual goal? All you're doing is taking money that is spawned by server staff and removing it with another script. All of the money for legal factions is spawned, does not come from tickets, or taxes, or anything.

Vehicles are chosen for one reason and one reason only, anything else is just fantasy: which vehicle can reach 240 fastest / handle best while also doing 240. There's an epidemic of HSW vehicles, and that's not because of deformation.

Duped items can be tracked and people can be permanently removed from the server. It's not a major concern imo.

This is 100% a real issue, when cops are providing you first-aid you require a quadruple bypass and treatment to fifty seven bullet wounds but when your homie is spamming /cpr after a shootout it "just helps". A scripted medical system would stop this abuse and see all situations treated equally.

Due to inflation, make it stack all the way to $10,000 This would also stop cash from just despawning when you are killed with it, allowing the person that killed you to loot your pocket cash from your body. Can take it out and store it in ATMs just like now, only difference is that it's an item in the inventory compared to a number in /stats.

It's also a matter of perception. It's not that they're not trusted, it's that even if they played it by the book, if John Doe is in empire and also in GND, and he's doing stuff against Empire's enemies, people will make accusations regardless of the facts.

Nothing of value would be lost, I can't think of a single situation that was made better with the use of OOC chat. +1 for removal

Hostages are already treated seriously, the issue is that a number of our players seem to watch streamer content servers where cops will literally fly them to cayo perico while singing songs with the hostage takers, for content. However, ECRP, at the time of writing this, is perceived to be a serious roleplay server. If you a have hostage, you have some power to negociate, however, your demands have to be reasonable and you need to learn how to compromise. That is the missing link between hostage takers and law enforcement and no amount of server rules will fix attitude issues.

It's not the amount they order, it's the reward money; it's set by the business owner manually. They could pay each new player 100k for their car delivery, obviously they will not, but it is not a script limitation. Business owners choose to pay the minimum allowed by the script. They should not have that money supplemented by the server artificially, because that money is used to give priority to their orders, which provide them with in-game currency.

You are not a customer, you're not buying a product. You're meant to be having fun playing a free video game server. VIP/Niobes/etc all of those things are just add-ons. If you don't have fun with the base experience, you should not buy them. If you are having fun and do buy them? It doesn't entitle you to special privileges or consideration.

Can you explain how this hurts new players? I see this a lot in suggestions with players that have been playing here for 8 years requesting things for themselves and going "new players". I think if dealership owners wanted to help new players they'd more in trucker orders.. not have the server give them spawned money to run their business.

It wouldn't be a rugpull, they've been providing a service for nine years now, that thousands of people enjoyed. Nothing lasts forever. GTA VI will be a console exclusive anyway, and there is no evidence of an RP server being available at launch. It'll likely take a year until the PC version gets released. Either way, most people have gotten their fun's worth, calling it a rugpull has negative connotations.

I believe this is firmly in-character actions and repercussions. People have been paying min price for years now, sooner or later they should have to increase them. Desperate players still fill them out, but slower. We shouldn't subsidize businesses that are already doing well enough financially.

Following an incident during the most recent war, this was implemented as a faction rule. If you witness it happening in a future gang war, please submit an OOC Internal Affairs report and it will be dealt with.

It would still take a paragon raffle to get people there. You did a raffle for people to show up at city parking. I don't see what changing the icon on the food item would do to bring people there. Very few people show up to those things for the roleplay or interactions. This ties back to what I said before, this is the wrong player base for that kind of roleplay.

The thing is that we've done this before, with more or less the same community members and your theory did not pan out. It wasn't small gangs rising above the big ones, but big ones holding hands and pushing small gangs off of the server. You seem to be okay with that at the end. "People don't like you, you're not good at diplomacy? time to disband and quit the server" This is meant to help player population how? I feel like it would just hasten our demise if we take any smaller gang that is already struggling at labs and making them feel like they have zero chances when 130 people push them. And they will. No one will self-moderate or think about the roleplay. Why? Look at current examples of gangs self-moderating when it comes to labs.

I don't wanna turn this into a pd vs crim because I think LEOs will be fine but just to clear up some misunderstandings Criminals got access to 200 AP through special imports which meant they had better armor than even SWAT; that was walked back after a few weeks. As far as I am aware every established gang on the server still has access to 150 AP through special imports. That is EQUAL to SWAT and BETTER than most cops that patrol with 100. The recent nerfs to MK2s apply to both crims and cops equally as they are the same guns script-wise. Helicopters have been used when stolen from MD/legal owners with great effect. There was a video of OTF chasing down AIR 1 with their own helicopter. Yes, the cars are bought with real money but they're still better. Banshee has nothing on niobe in terms of performance, and there's dozens of them. Back in the day cops had the best car, the most AP and the best guns. That's not the case anymore, and it's probably a good thing, but what I replied to was someone pretending that PD was weaker then compared to an established gang.

This isn't about council, this is about the current playerbase. The current "meta" at labs is to send one of your guys on a bike and have them bait until they get pointed at and then you all push the lab cause they "gave you a reason". If you remove the alliance rule, one gang will send a guy on a bike then four gangs will push together. This will effectively end any small gang that won't have alliance backing. It will be super popular and fun for 2-3 gangs but kill everything else. I am strongly against.

PD is weaker now compared to then, criminals have access to the exact same armor, exact same guns, even sniper rifles and helicopters now, and better vehicles.
