  3. Not a bad idea. I'd maybe make it small, 12-18 slots, and 50 volume.

    Just enough to get new players by until they can get a stash car or 1G.
    And of course no illegal items allowed as its in an NCZ.

    That would be my only issue with it, is it could be abused to make it impossible for certain items to be stolen.
    Not a bad thing I guess, especially if its a small size stash.

    You're talking about people going out and intentionally breaking rules. This is simply not always the case. I've seen people with lots of experience and years of playtime getting banned for very minor infractions. 

    I've also witnessed admins get  perma banned for breaking rules. It's not just DMs we are talking about here. 

    Also this is just my personal view but I feel some reports are not handled equally. It can really come down to does X admin dislike Y or even what gender is being reported. Id like to think people can be impartial but it's just human nature sometimes especially when it comes to gang affiliated admins. 

    I suppose the key point from above is if it was treated as a legal system then mistakes happen hence the difference between , death by negligence , manslaughter and murder. Even some states wipe your record clean if you stay out of trouble long enough. This would be weighed up before sentencing. And it's so easy to shoot the wrong person wearing the same colour gang in a shootout. It's not malicious behaviour most of the time and even if it is and the person has proved through X amount of playtime and no rule breaks not to be perma banned for a mistake in a game mode essentially based around the medium of human nature? 

     

    For minor infractions, staff can warn instead of punish, which avoid the ban.
    generally, from what I've seen, the bans are coming after multiple infractions. Yes, maybe the "straw that broke the camels back" was minor, but for instance, it takes 6 NRPs to get banned....it wasn't the one minor infraction, it was the series of 6 NRPs which were ignored then the player continues to break a rule.

    Bans are not always permanent. There is an appeal process, and many (even severe) DM bans are eventually lifted. if a player can't stop DMing, a 30 day break may be what is required to get them to adjust their behavior.

    As far as mistakes go - mistakes are taken into account, I have seen plenty of mistakes made that the decision was a warning, or a note on the account instead of a punishment at all. There is a system in place to avoid these types of bans for minor offenses, or mistakes. 

    That aside,  its hard for a staff member to distinguish between a mistake and intentional DMing. If breaks are given and Bans are not issued because it was claimed to be a mistake, everyone will just say it was a mistake. (like how we see constant "my bike was stolen from an NCZ" reports, thinking they will get their bike back without question. More times then not staff proves the bike wasn't in an NCZ.) Sadly, when some people see a certain excuse or defense gets you out of a punishment, some people will abuse that. So we have to go off the evidence, and overall behavior of the player involved, and not assumptions it might have been a mistake. (side note: when players fess up and say "damn my fault, yah I did it, sorry", staff does take that into account)

    Lastly - Your overall point is individual reports are being punished excessively. If you feel that is the case, the suggestion should be to adjust how we review and judge DMs and NRPs, rather then just wipe out all offenses. 

    If staff is being unfair and handing out frivolous or unwarranted punishments, then that needs to be addressed.
    I personally don't see that as the case, in many cases rule-breaks are thrown out due to lack of evidence, or both parties settling things ICly.
    Particularly when it comes to DM#2 offenses.

    I actually disagree for one simple reason:

    The more you play the more you should know the rules.
    I see cases where people get a DM, then play gaining 500k XP (equivelent of 2000 hours played...)

    Then get a 2nd DM months or even a year later.
    In my opinion, they should know better...

    As we review cases, we take the history and experience of the player into account, and I don't think we should have a set rule whereby rule-breaks are just thrown out.
    I like the system how it is, where we can see the entire record, and based on all factors, award the appropriate punishment.

    In most cases this results in a 30-day break from the server (and maybe they need it, if they are DMing), then they appeal and continue on.

    The idea here is if you are a consistent, long term member of the community, you should be setting the example and not DMing. 
    I don't think we should get breaks, instead we should be held to a higher standard the longer we play.

  7. Although I agree it is NRP, I think it would be very difficult to enforce and keep consistent. As the terrain and vehicles are so varied, and it would be a lot to expect players or staff to do in-depth studies into exactly what the IRL versions of cars in-game can or can not do. So although I wish it was more realistic, I would not want to see a broad "never go off-road unless its a off-raod vehicle" rule applied.

    I think the rules as of now are at least consistent and enforceable (no stunt jumping and no vertical climbs).
    And we just have to wait for development improvements to come along.

    hello

    today i just got robbed 4 times by the same guy in one hour

    what is this sh**?

    pls make a rule so ppl dont rub us many times in a day 

    i hate the rules that dont let you roleplay as a good person ,i worked hard for hours as an animal hunter and courier and then i lost all of my money and items  and the worst part is by a

    same guy  4 times in one hour.i am thinking of doing the same thing with other people and rob them instead of hard work in the game and be a bad person,more fee,less time.

     

    Although I understand its frustrating, I am not sure how you lost all of your money and items.
    When going on a courier job, only take a GPS. The money you get on the job goes straight to the bank, so it cant be stolen.

    For the mining job, that is inherently dangerous. And the large sum you get through mining is offset by the chance to be robbed.
    If you are getting robbed every time you go to the mines, either go with friends, or just don't do mining. Do the safer jobs.

    Ask around ICly for more tips to avoid this. If you are getting robbed 4 times in 1 hour, at most you should only have lost 4 GPSs.
    If you are playing it safe.

    You can buy ammo cheap if you know some illegal people but us people trying to stay legal are in a hard place in this situation

    If you are a fully legal citizen who refuses to ever engage in criminal activity, you will likely not go through 50 rounds very quickly.
    In what situation are you getting into regularly as a fully legal citizen where you are discharging your firearm constantly?

  10. As NCZs are designed as a safe place for legal citizens, this only makes sense. 

    Watching Zetas circle the bank keeping others gangs trapped inside is just absurd, as gang members would not hang out in such places, and if they did, would not be permanently safe.

    I might even take it a step further, and say you can't go to an NCZ at all for 15 minutes after a crime or a chase resulting from crime.

    Another way this is abused is a player robs you or points guns at your and your friend/girlfriend...you want to take it into your own hands and grab some buddies to retaliate...and you find them in broad daylight taunting you at bank. Makes no sense.

  11. I like this for 2 reasons:

    1) It helps solves the "he is always full!" issue. Giving another option to sell vehicles. (and in the process cut down on scams)

    2) It encourages owners to be online and engage with other RPrs. (as long as this doesn't become a simple script command encouraging more offline-income)

    Could work like loans, where the owner has to be there to run the script.

    I think this type of interaction should even be expanded. Requiring owners (or hired employees the owners can hire) to engage with customers in order for any sales to happen. Anything to cut down on the Offline, passive income.

    Love you Jasmine, going to respond to this. 🙂

    Responses from my own perspective of course, which could be vastly different from other officers.

    1. Stop having 3, 4, or 10 cruisers flying through the city all chasing one comet retro - Agreed, we're working on improving this.
    2. Stop being complete jerks to civilians. - Eh, when a citizen runs up and says. "I have something important." and it's not. "I want to report a crime." and they have no evidence. "I want __________" and we have no legal obligation or means to give it to you, our conversation will most likely be short. But, when they're asked to file a crime report or IA report... they can't be bothered. We can put out BOLO's, question people, but it's limited what more we can do. Our investigations personnel and training in police investigative practices have improved, but it does depend on the officer and the activities going on at that time.
    3. Talk to civilians, stop slowly rolling by to search me in your MDC and drive off. - Personally unless I have a reason to talk to you, I don't usually bother unless it gives me an advantage to what I'm looking for. Specifically if I'm looking for a car. Every time I talk to most people, they get suspicious, defensive or disrespectful, which I don't  have the time for. It isn't about being personable for me, but using the time I have wisely. I would love to do more for the citizens of the city off duty and have been focusing on doing so, but when I'm on duty, I have different goals, yes, I can be friendly and reasonable, but my interactions with others are usually equal or mutual.

    2. As I am sure you know, I am more than willing to dive full in on a police report. I see it as great roleplay, but also Jasmine likes to make connections in the PD. I do understand your point that most people don't bother, and don't want to "play the game" so to speak. At the same time, I tend to put in as much effort into a report as the PD wants me to. Most times (this is just my experience) they have little desire to do much, and don't want to take the time to investigate. Anytime I've been asked to provide more info, I have. And often stay on scene, sometimes over on hour, or even go to PD to the interview rooms. (Several of my YouTube videos support this). 

    But yes, I get your point that it "takes two to tango", and this is not only a PD issue, civilians should do better too.

    3. When I first joined the server, reactions to me were horrid. I can promise you just as bad, if not worse, then the reaction most PD get. I had a choice, either get angry and salty, and start acting like a bitch. Or..."be the change you want to see", and be overly nice and kind to everyone no matter how awful they were. 

    This worked for me...it is very rare Jas is met with vulgarity, slurs, anger, or disgust anymore (and yes even before I was Staff I was treated quite well haha). 
    I think people will react to you, dependent on how you treat and react to them. There is only 1 faction I am not always nice to. PD. And that is 100% a reaction to the way Jas is usually treated by the PD. It is a character development I did not plan or expect, it was a development that happened naturally ICly, based on how the PD behave. 

    All this simply to say, even when everyone else is being mean, nasty and cruel to you, you should try to treat others as you want to be treated...even if its hard and they don't deserve it. 

    There are PD Jas is nice to, and respects. But they have earned that reaction by treating Jas right.

    In your 1+ years on the server, have you ever tried hunting? Tends to use a good bit of ammo if you just go out and have fun with friends hunting. Most don't even use their guns because they would have to buy an entirely new gun to refill it, which comes at a good price, not equivalent of what you would make from hunting. I get that you're trying to limit criminal access to ammunition, but it's just poor RP to cause a civilian to have to break a law in order to have more ammo for their gun. It's either buy it illegally, or buy a second gun, which makes no sense.

    Yes, I use my foot and a knife. Requires zero ammo.
    When they change this, maybe I will agree with the suggestion.

    And strictly from an IRL -> RP standpoint, I agree its silly to have to buy a whole new gun to refill ammo.
    But until a lot of other things change (namely the ease at which guns/ammo can get into crims hands), this suggestion is not strictly an IRL -> RP change.

    The serial numbers on weapons is currently nearly useless in preventing handguns being used in crime.

    Jasmine this shows how little you know or understand about criminal roleplay. There is literally fuck all pistol ammo available for criminals, the only way to get it is to let the laptop build up stock over several hours which is nearly impossible with 3 gangs having access to it, not to mention the cap on the ammo stock being set at around 100 I think?

    The other way is to just hunt and rob civillians for their pistols.

    This is a big +1 unless the criminal imports are fixed and also I think it makes RP sense for legal firearm owners to be able to buy ammo for their weapon.

    I just obtained 10 pistols full ammo.
    And have stockpiled plenty of weapons of every type. 
    Just because the community sees me as civilian Jas.
    Does not mean I am clueless about crim activity, and particularly weapon sales.
    Thinking I am clueless about guns, imports, and crim activity just shows you don't know me well ICly.

    Yes, handgun ammo is hard to acquire, yes, its possible it needs to be adjusted.
    But lets be real, there are plenty of handguns out there, and they are not hard to get.
    Neither is ammo, I have no crim faction, just know some people, and can easily get ammo when I need it.

    My stance remains the same. I don't think the solution is ammo in guns stores.
    Even your own statement makes it clear the solution lies within the import system....

    "nearly impossible with 3 gangs having access to it,"
    "not to mention the cap on the ammo stock being set at around 100 I think?"
    Maybe that's the issue and the solution??

  15. If it had a action bar, requires you to stop driving, had a very visible animation that went with it, and only worked with pistols, sure.

    Otherwise this seems like a bit of a PG change. As getting a pistol out of a holster and into a glove box is not an immediate action IRL.

    PD should have a chance to catch you doing it.

  16. Yah this could be done by players, coordinated and planned. Speakers and voip can be used to make the music, organize cars and people to run the event.

    Get an event license, or ask someone in game who has one already to use theirs. With that you can run server-wide ads. Also place advertisements in the classified sections. 

    You can get business owners to sponsor the event to cover costs, or run a raffle/auction/giveaway of some sort.

    If you were really into this idea, you can even get the ball rolling ICly, and if the event is planned and organized enough, you could get mod/admin support.

    Usually the big events run in the server by players (casino, bayviews events, Jasmines events) had at least Mod+ staff on site to assist things running smoothly and clear out any rule breakers quickly.

    I like your idea, and if youre passionate about it, go for it!

  17. I actually disgree for 3 reasons:

    1) 50 rounds should be plenty for law abiding citizens. By the time a civilian has to fire 50 rounds (heres a hint, I've fired zero bullets in almost a year of play) its probably ok to have to spend 10k for a new weapon. Law abiding citizens shouldnt really need to buy ammo often, meaning this change really only benefits crims.

    2) Pistol ammo can be sold for a decent price right now. I think this actually adds RP. It means pistols with rounds are actually valuable. And finding rounds to sell is actually worthwhile.

    3) Rounds dont have serial numbers, and this would be rather easy to use to just fill up gangs pistol ammo. Legal citizens would have no risk in doing so, making this, again, more of a crim change.

    tl/dr: civilians should rarely have to refill ammo, if ever. This change only benefits crims, and currently pistol ammo supply/demand seems fine to me.

  18. Owners dont need to be further rewarded for AFKing for days/weeks and continue to collect passive income.

    Here's a better solution: when owners can't be bothered to fill their stations every once in a while, the station goes up for auction to the public.

    This is an RP community that is always evolving and benefits from ACTIVE players RPing on the server. When someone stops being active, their income should stop too.

    And others who are active should be given opportunities to replace them in the community.
