  1. Date and time (provide timezone): July 19, 2020 9:00AM Character name: Kai Draco Issue/bug you are reporting: Logged into the server, went to my safe in my apartment to load up on a pistol and some ammo, the safe was empty. Asked around and was informed that it was a bug that other's had encountered as well. Expected behavior: Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Contents of the safe: ***there was also a laptop in the safe, however I don't have the screenshot of it. Not too worried about the laptop as I am about the rest of the contents.
  2. Criminal RP has been on the decline for months now, and I truly just want the answer to the simple question, why? Why is criminal RP the target for these rules? Is it because we're too good at what we do as criminals? That has to be one of the reasons. Script Support: - What kind of script support do criminals have? If you're not official, you literally have nothing. If you're official you use what, /fmembers and /f 0? Amazing commands for RP huh? - Having laptop for being official is a blessing and a great privilege. However, what kind of RP comes from that? Most you'll get is police in which would most likely result in a shootout for the contents of the package. Robbery/Crime Limitations: - Lets be completely honest with ourselves here. The new rules, because they're not specific enough and is just insanely vague, makes it so that criminals cannot perform crimes. Yes, there were petty crimes done before the rule change, however, are you sure that was Zetas/Triads/Official Criminal Factions? There are so many random solo criminals that rob civilians as well. I'm not sure from other official crim factions, but I know that Triads hold a high standard when it comes to robbing someone. If the reward isn't high, we usually don't even attempt. If only FM/whoever is making these rules see how many times we call things off due to it being petty or of low reward (not worth). - More crime will result in more police activity. You can tell that the certain police mains that are against lifting/modifying this rule just want to collect that paycheck. PD saying "there's nothing to do" only proves that this rule needs to be adjusted. I understand the reasoning behind this rule, but it needs to be more specific and concise. There has been multiple times when someone runs over me/ally with their vehicle, and then goes to the highway chillin in their vehicle saying "you cant rob me here" IRL would someone being the victim of a robbery say that? No, with multiple people pointing guns at you while you're in your vehicle, you would attempt to flee/comply to demands. This shows that with this rule not being specific enough, people are ignoring FearRP, disengaging in RP, attempting to pause RP with no admin present, going into /b immediately threatening to report. Maybe do something like "no robberies in places of business" (clothing stores, gas stations, general stores, etc). Faction Management: - I understand the purpose of FM and why they are where they are. However, it doesn't seem fair to the organization of people that actually ICly RP with their crim characters to be subject to oppression by FM. We have built everything from ground up and has never been shackled down this bad by FM/Staff before. There's obviously been a perspective change somewhere along the way. - The OOC limitations on IC actions is getting out of hand. Police provoke a shootout that we're trying to avoid, they lose and we get punished OOCly for it just because they cried about it? I know the war rules was a rough draft put into effect before it was ready but can we have a revision and something done about the requirements for certain aspects? In the war rules it states that if they are: 1. held captive for 24hrs, you're war killed / 2. lose the hq hold for 24 hrs, lose the war. THEN it says on the last line that "in the end, faction management will ultimately decide if someone is war-killed". Seriously? So why even put the 24 hour cap on the war rules if it doesn't even matter. During the WCA war, we held their hq for 4-5 days straight, maybe even longer, we held multiple enemy persons captive for over 24 hours, yet war wasn't over. I get it, you want them to have a fair chance. Hint hint, don't start a war if you don't have the funds/resources to do so. FM should be helping us pass on messages to higher power and truly understand our perspective and WHY we want changes and help us PUSH for the changes, not just "okay i'll pass it on" and nothing gets done, and when something does get done it's against us. Also, sometimes when we try to bring something that holds value to us up to FM to help make a change for the better, we get shutdown. I'm sure that happens in all other criminal factions as well. Criminal Faction Member Cap: - So how does this make sense at all? Gangs IRL don't have a member cap and we're already at a disadvantage with a cap of 60. To decrease it to 40 would just put us MORE at a disadvantage. If it's to balance out the gangs, there's so many other ways to go about "taking out the council" for a lack of a better phrase. These smaller gangs can join together, form an alliance and go against us. I'm sure the numbers would be the same if they did. It's due to the fact that the smaller gangs are FIGHTING EACH OTHER in which they cannot take the "top spot" if you will, but that's something they have to figure out themselves ICly. - Law enforcement combined with PD/SD/DOC/and sometimes I've seen medics pull up to shootouts and shoot to help PD. With everyone, they ALREADY outnumber Zetas/Triads. And with PD continuing to recruit at 150+ they'll hit 200+ alone. And with SD at ~50, through time, they'll get up to that 150+ mark considering the population of the server booming. - If it's to help smaller gangs rise up, how can they if they're capped at 40, unless it's only an official crim faction thing. In that case, you're letting unofficial gangs recruit uncapped? So it's either okay for unofficial gangs to get 100+ people, while official gangs, who has worked so hard sweating, bleeding, crying to earn the right to become official have to suffer at a cap of 40? - A few things to consider: 1. timezone differences, we don't have everyone on at the same time, we barely have 1/6 online at a time in different timezones, don't you think an official gang should be occupying majority of the timezones to spread out presence? 2. inactive players, in every single faction people go on LOA's for personal reasons. so if we have let's say 10 people on LOA we'll only have 30 active people, how will that cover all timezones as people have IRL lives and things to attend to and cannot be on the server 24/7. - The way I see it, there's only 3 reasons why the cap was put in place 1. PD is getting smoked so they want to reduce our numbers asking for OOC help 2. Small gangs can't think of the big picture with big brains on how to come at us so they need OOC help 3. We're too good at what we do Summary: - Again, it's just another law enforcement buff and a criminal nerf - Criminals feel oppressed by the system, its 2020 not 1619
  3. Police MDC: - PD wants to continue using ID numbers instead of full names due to laziness/"too hard to type names" (from what I read, apparently the MDC autofills the name once you type enough letters so that excuse is irrelevant) - Tells us to report if they think its metagaming (impossible to prove) - If we report PD for metagaming, it has to be an IA report which will most likely never get through/swept under the rug - If PD reports other players logging on them and not continuing RP, it can just go on forums to be reviewed - Also, it would have ruined your RP by the time the IA gets accepted or even looked at, by that time you're in jail and had to pay a hefty fine - Einhart talked about a scenario of having to force RP due to players logging/"refusing to RP" - Why don't PD report those players instead of try to "forceRP" by basically metagaming the ID - Every comment that has a -1 on this thread has shown that they want to use the ID for their own advantages without giving fair play to the rest - Sometimes people get away from PD and that's okay, PD doesn't have to use ID tags to catch people, there are sooooo many other ways around it which would result in more RP - From what it seems, PD doesn't want to RP and just wants to lock up as many people as possible in the shortest time possible. - Sometimes you have to investigate for a couple days by finding out who "John_Doe" hangs around with, find his number, track it, the location he is seen the most, etc. - Theres literally infinite ways to arrest someone after they have gotten away from PD, lazy RP is no excuse

  5. Kai Fang and his brother Lin have decided it was time to expand the family name. They reach out to each other and arrange a meeting at a discrete location. Now the thought of expanding the family was always up in the air, however, it felt like the perfect time. Kai and Lin Fang contemplate on which individuals have shown their loyalty and worthiness to join the family. They come to the unanimous decision to induct Juyen Koi to the family. Now they must each select an individual that has shown time and time again why they deserve to wear the family name. After careful consideration, Lin has made up his mind on Charlie Hill to be inducted and Kai has made a decision on Jason Shen to be inducted. As the sun starts to set, Kai Fang reaches out to the selected members who have been chosen to wear the family name proudly. The individuals were each sent a text of a location. Lin and Kai were already awaiting their arrival alongside a high command of the Triads. The chosen individuals shortly arrive to the location. After congratulating them on their recent success with the organization, Kai begins to tell them a simple task that they must perform. There are a number of things in which the Fang brothers require from the three of them. The first would be an animal to sacrifice. They would have to each bring their own sacrifices, in which none can be the same. The next arrangement that the Fang brothers require is an herb from the Earth in a quantity of two, one for each other brothers. The last ingredient would be a something special in which the Fang brothers cannot speak of. However, the selected members were given a location in where to find this ingredient. The location would be given as west and slightly north of Sandy Shores hospital. Once completed, the members were instructed to text Kai Fang, letting him know that the tasks were done. When the text is delivered successfully, Kai will give out the next location. Understanding what they must do, the three of them set out to complete the tasks. Kai and Lin Fang begin to head to the next location with the high command to prepare the ceremony. At the top of the mountain, they stand strong and embrace what is about to happen. Kai Fang receives a text from Jason Shen letting him know the tasks have been completed. Kai replies to Jason's text with the location in which they must arrive. As the moon rises high in the sky, the chosen members have made it safely to the location. The chosen individuals were asked to kneel. Once they have all bowed respectfully to the Fang brothers and the high command, they were each recognized for the work they have done. Each member will be offered new identities that they may accept or decline if they so choose to. Charlie Hill was offered a new identity of Chi Fang, which she accepted. Juyen Koi was offered a new identity of Joo Fang, which he accepted. Jason Shen was offered a new identity of Jae Fang, which he too accepted. The members were then informed that once the ceremony concludes, they would become part of the Fang family. Each individual was asked to place their respective offerings of sacrifice in front of them, along with the other elements they were required to gather. Kai Fang collects the elements and prepares for the initiation. As the chosen members recited the Fang's oath, Lin went and retrieved five teacups and a teapot with boiled water from the oceans of Los Santos. Three teacups would be for the three initiates and the other two would be for the Fang brothers. Lin proceeds to pour the hot water into each of the inductee's respective teacups. After their cups were filled, a special herb from the motherland was then mixed in with the water. Ashes would then be added into the teacups. Following the ashes, the sacrifices blood is dripped slowly into each teacup. The next ingredient to be combined with the mixture is the blood of the pure Fang brothers. Kai takes out a sharp blade and presses it up against Lin's palm until it begins to drip blood. He does the same to his own palm. The proceed to add a drop of their blood into the contents of the teacups. For the final ingredient, each individual puts the special element in their teacups. Lin and Kai grabs their own teacups and walks down the line as the initiates pour a slight bit of the contents of their teacups into Kai and Lin's. The five of them all drink the contents of their teacups at the same time which marks the end of the ceremony and the beginning of a new dynasty.
  6. A lone man has been reaching out to Kai Fang, Yuan Lu of the Triads. This man is first known as Rokuro Miyazaki. He is in search of recruitment into the Triads. He was put to the test for many months as the Triads only recruit the finest of men with the highest standards of loyalty and integrity. With that said, Kai Fang only allows the best of the best to join his brotherhood. There is only one other Fang brother that goes by the name of Lin Fang, who was born and raised in the city as a Triad. As a new recruit of the Triads, and learning under the wing of Kai Fang, he has earned his right to own the surname Fang. As days go by, it was time for Rokuro to find his true self as a Fang. Kai and a few fellow Triads meet on an island with a single tree growing from the roots. The ceremony is soon to be underway as Rokuro arrives on the island. Kai proceeds to tell Rokuro what it means to become a Fang and the spiritual journey he must endure to become part of the brotherhood. Rokuro's first step is to meditate under the tree to find inner peace within himself. After finding inner peace, Rokuro begins to swim to shore for his spiritual journey. He finds himself roaming through the mountains to truly reflect on who he truly is. As he makes his way back into the city, he begins to experience a fight within himself as his old self does not want to be gone forever. He contemplates on ending his life as he stands on the edge of a bridge continuing to fight himself spiritually. He decides suicide is not the best course of action. With this in mind, he takes a trip to Little Seoul, a place where he can truly force himself to become a Fang. As he approaches The Shrine, his true identity as a Fang starts to win over his old self. His former self puts up one more fight before completely giving in, as he bows before the Fang brothers. With the strike of the Fang hammer, he becomes a man reborn as Yao Fang.
  7. Sabrina makes valid points. The only fault that I see in that is if you were to ATTEMPT to kidnap a cop, he tells you OOC reason ((only 3 PD on duty)), you would have to pause RP and the cop would have to let it go. If we target a specific person (the cop that put you in jail), they definitely won't let it go. Probably call for Tac1 SWAT right after the crims leave, giving description and so on a so forth. We should have GUIDELINES for kidnapping rather than PERMISSION for kidnapping. Some suggestions of guidelines would be: 1. All OFF-DUTY officers must be ON-CALL for situations like this. So when PD gets informed of one of their own being taken, they must all go to PD and clock in to go handle the situation since that is what it would be like IRL. 2. Let's say there's the rare chance where only one cop is in town whether he's on/off duty, we should make it so that if he gives an OOC reason of not having cops, show evidence that there is only said number of cops in town. 3. As for the criminal side, they should do their research and plan out the kidnapping. Let's make it so that crims must check faction page to see how many cops are online, on AND off duty, doesn't matter. Then the criminals must have a plan for said cop/person kidnapped. If the criminal has no plan and is just driving around, that is poor RP. We're not trying to create a system where criminals pull up to a cop patrolling the streets and kidnap him out of nowhere, just cause. We want to build RP with a few people, come up with a master plan for the kidnapping and what to do with the person being kidnapped, and play it out like that. If admins want to promote "smart criminal" actions, we need more power when it comes to doing things to people. Create some kind of CHECKBOOK/GUIDELINES for criminals to follow to carry out a kidnapping. ASKING FOR PERMISSION IS NOT IT.
  8. The reason why I bring this up is simple. When a criminal gets arrested by a cop, no matter the reason, they must play out the RP of being arrested, processed, and taken to prison. Yet if it's flipped around and the criminal wants to kidnap a cop, they must ask permission. Make it balanced on both sides. Force the cops to continue RP of being kidnapped like they force you to when you get arrested. 1/200 times the cops will approve of a kidnapping. Yet 200/200 times a criminal has to RP out the process of getting arrested. I just feel like police officers are too protected by the rules of the server. It's like they can't get touched, yet criminals get thrown around like garbage. All I'm asking is for more of a balance. If cops can force you to play out the process of getting arrested, criminals should also have the power to force cops to play out kidnap RP. Example: You have some unpaid tickets on your record. You're driving your vehicle to your house or the parking garage to park it up and get out of town for the night. You get pulled over a a cop, he arrests you and you have to go to work, pick up your children from school, or any OOC reason, you don't have much time to spare. Yet you have to continue RP of the process of getting arrested and sent to prison. If you log off, you get reported for logging, if you say in OOC you need to go ASAP to handle some OOC business, the cops take it as a joke and prolong the process of you getting arrested just to waste your time. I find this super one-sided because you have to ASK for PERMISSION to kidnap a cop (extended RP). Make it so it's balanced is all I'm asking. If cops are able to ERP arresting you, criminals should be able to ERP with cops without having to ask for permission every 10 seconds to do something to them.

    Gym opening?

    I wanted to know if it was possible to open up a gym in the city somehow. I think it would be a great idea since it hasn't been done. I noticed the casino has been opened recently and it got me thinking of other places of businesses that can be open as well. Things that aren't yet in the city. This is just an idea I have thought of since I work at a gym IRL. It would be delightful for me if you guys could reply to this post with some ideas and guidelines on how I can make this happen.
