Not too worried about the laptop as I am about the rest of the contents.

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

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.

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.

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.
