There is a way to dodge them, don't speed.

They can create a new character in the second character slot. With that they will have four chances.

You roleplay killing your character off in the way of your choosing, then you walk into the precinct and change your name. If you didn't use the name before, your record will be cleared automatically, no admin assistance required.

The max prison time is 2 hours, if you got your tickets wiped every time you went to prison, people would voluntarily go to prison. I don't see what's so unreasonable about having to pay the money you owe to the government.

If someone had a criminal history, and can't obtain a firearm permit because of it, he can decide to kill his character and start fresh. (keeping all of his assets) That is the main avenue, or staying in his gang, and obtaining guns from them. The only different is that a felon can't carry them legally anymore, which is very welcome.

I don't think that it should matter that much to you, there seems to be a specific group of players that respond very rashly to any suggestion that might impact illegal activities, but you also got a lot of reasonable responses, and you should focus on those.

They would if the max sentence was 2 months.

Everyone on this server is equal, no one is nor should be barred to making a suggestion just because they are in a certain faction, that's a great example of attacking the person, rather than the idea. The difference between admin jail and DOC is the fact that you can roleplay. If you get arrested with five other gang members, and you all just say "I'll see you when my time is over", then you're part of the problem, and you're the reason there is "fuckall to do in prison". This is a roleplaying server, and no one should be waiting to be spoon-fed roleplay by DOC.

How do you propose consistent RP will form around prison when most people sit there for an hour and change? (with VIP). Increasing prison sentences will add population, and with it, roleplaying opportunities. I also refuse to believe that most people afk prison, with how often people attempt and succeed prison breaks, prison smuggling, and other prison related activities.

This has been brought up in a lot of different threads, but I think it's time we bring it it's own thread to talk about. The current maximum prison sentence is too short, and it's having a negative impact on the state of the server. If there are no serious consequences for committing serious crimes, then they will be committed at exaggerated rates. This results in people robbing people in the middle of the street, or even people robbing cops for a bag, because they get a chase and even if they're caught? Release is a Netflix show away. The very exaggerated amount of crime also means that the LSPD is not free to deal with non-emergency stuff like the Impound Lot. @Kai There is also another problem with having the max prison sentence being so relatively low, in that, someone that commits any felony and then evades, would receive max. time anyway, so he has no further incentive to not commit more crimes in his evasion (such as shoot cops), which results in people shooting a lot more than they should, when realistically, no one would be shooting cops over 3 reckless operation charges. It was stated multiple times that max. prison time will be increased when DOC settles in as a faction. In my opinion, that has happened. DOC, especially now with the new leadership, is stable, recruiting, and maintaining presence in almost all timezones. What's the actual suggestion? Increase the maximum prison time to eight hours. (480 minutes) but no crime sentencing should be changed. That means that no one should be getting the max time, unless they really do commit that many crimes. For reference: Attempted Murder is 150 minutes, Felony Evasion is 75 minutes. Therefore, someone that shot someone else, then evaded in a car, would receive a sentence of 225 minutes. (105 minutes over our current max) Armed Robbery is 105 minutes, Felony Evasion is 75 minutes. Therefore, someone that robbed someone with the use of a gun, then evaded in a car, would receive a sentence of 180 minutes. (60 minutes over our current max) There will be an increase of about an hour for most reasonable criminals, however those that commit a lot more crimes before getting arrested will get a longer sentence, as it should be. Under the old system, someone that killed 10 cops would get the same sentence as someone that robbed a store and evaded, because of the relatively low max. sentence.

If anything, I'd say a rule against government factions hiring people with felonies is more in line with a roleplaying server. You shouldn't be convicted for armed robbery and be a journalist in a government-funded news paper. There are IC consequences for IC actions.

It has been stated multiple times that houses will be made available in the future, and there was an auction which saw houses sold just two days ago.

This is a pretty unique concept and I'm looking forward to see how it works in-game. The thread also looks nice, it's clear that effort was put into this, good luck!

huge +1, I find myself typing /f text, then getting the error message, and it's a bit frustrating considering I am in only one faction.

This is absolutely amazing, so many things that have been requested in one patch. Great job!

I'm pretty sure if you /togglemask, it will re-sync and no one will see you as having an undershirt.

If there are calls about vehicle pursuits, armed robberies and so on, most officers will go to those calls. The impound lot is relatively low priority because it's not a matter of life and death. I don't believe monetary recompense should be used to artificially boost the priority of a less important task. -1

I think that with most things in roleplay, it's situational. I feel that if you went in a gang's territory, and started robbing stores, you might find yourself robbed or shot. You have to remember that in real life most people are civilians, but here, most people are organized crime members. I also don't personally agree with adding a rule for every single nonRP example, if a moderator+ really feels this is nonRP, he can act on it under the current nonRP rules. -1

CKs are currently used as free "get out of jail" cards. Whenever you have an IC situation that's slightly inconvenient, you can just CK for very little cost. I agree with the suggestion, the only thing you should keep is donator vehicles and your experience. +1

Story aside, what's the actual suggestion?

Going slightly off-topic, but DOC was supposed to be the thing that allowed the increase in prison time. It was said that once DOC settles in as a faction, prison times would be increased.

You already get a very high amount of money generated every hour making drugs. If you're finding the income to be too low, perhaps you're splitting it with too many people, you get increased security, but lower profits. Try making drugs in smaller groups.

-1 One of the perks of donating is using less fuel, this would directly impact a donation perk for no good reason. Maintenance such as eating, fueling is a rather inconvenient part of real life and should be part of the game too.

This is a suggestion that has a great amount of reasoning, and an example of a rule that could be implemented, this is a great example of a proper suggestion. Onto the contents of it specifically, I agree with everything that was said. I'd like this rule to be implemented, major +1.
