No clue if this is directed at my reply. ''Would you, for example, take issue with someone being laid off from their job due to making their colleagues uncomfortable with their speech?'' - This question is impossible to answer without further context, I assume you typed it thinking most people would answer ''No, I would not take an issue with someone being laid off from their job due to making their colleagues uncomfortable with their speech''. However, I can equally provide you with a hypothetical where my answer to this question would easily be ''Yes'': A Saudi Arabian company with a hybrid workforce has received a complaint from their workers. The company workforce is comprised of 90% Saudi workers with the remaining 10% being remote workers from around the world. The complaint is from the Saudi portion of the workforce who have expressed their discomfort with a colleague who is openly expressing their support for the LGBTQ+ community via the company's various digital platforms that allow things such as profile pictures. The reported colleague was let go shortly after the report. In this instance, yes, I would have an issue with someone being laid off from their job due to making their colleagues uncomfortable with their speech. All of this to say that it's great this community is progressive, I am progressive myself and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, those of you closest to me will know this. Having said this, I want to make sure that if someone gets ejected from parts of this community for their views it's for truly hateful reasons and not for just having a different view. (e.g John from Texas supporting traditional family values that I mentioned earlier) Keep in mind as I stated in my first comment, I do not know the specifics surrounding any recent events, so do not take my views on the matter as a comment on them.

Not really in the know on recent events surrounding this. However, I just want to say that expressing a view point that disagrees with the status quo should not be met with punishment unless this view point is hateful or insulting in nature. In essence, there's a stark difference between calling people slurs, posting hateful messages and being genuinely hateful to a group of people versus expressing an opinion. To give a more concrete example. There's a difference between John from Texas saying he believes in traditional family values VS John calling all gay people the f-word. All of this to say that, in my view, the best way to persuade an individual who might not understand or be around these topics is to fight them with arguments and not with cancellations or bans. I'll leave this video here from Sir Rowan Atkinson on the matter of freedom of speech, all the while recognizing that Eclipse (and the factions within) is it's own private community and as such has no obligation to provide people who are hateful with a platform to spread their hate.

This has had the price increased or it's been sold and placed for sale for 700k, fyi

There other ways this can be achieved. Community Policing style initiatives, patrol on foot in high-traffic areas, etc... The main point is that for Impound specifically, there seems to be a lot of people who have issues with it (this increases x100 fold when outside of peak hours). Even with an activity increase, the current impound system has been complained about multiple times. I understand stuff like impound reports are important, especially for investigative RP and I personally don't want to see it completely automated. However, a similar system like LSC and Bayview could be added where if less than three LEOs are on-duty players are able to automatically pay for and retrieve their vehicles provided they have no warrants. No one attending impound because of active RP that ties up most Officers is understandable, but not being able to retrieve a car from impound because of lack of players on-duty is mainly an OOC issue that should be met with an OOC solution imo.

What do you need help with?

Date and time (provide timezone): 14:26 (GMT+1) Character name: Barrett Kincaid Issue/bug you are reporting: Whenever I attempt to preview an animation through F6 it spawns a similar character. Status of the character changes from IDLE to WALK to RUN to SPRINT yet the character remains stil and does not move, just idles. Expected behavior: Animation that accurately previews how it changes a character's idle, walk, run and sprint speed. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Notice in the image how it says ''Sprint'' in blue, yet character is just standing idle. I attempted to press F6 and try the animation preview both in and out of a vehicle. https://imgur.com/tfRbEQlhttps://imgur.com/tfRbEQl Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Going to slightly necro this thread and add on a suggestion that is related. On SA:MP servers some of my best memories were live interviews where a SANews employee and a guest would interact with each other or where general live news would be covered using a server wide chat. Like shown here: While Eclipse is more VOIP based. I do think it could be interesting to have something similar outside of the occasional weazel news ad announcing some major event or breaking news and would allow for more daily interviews along a multitude of topics and an incentive to seek out RP that will be confined to in-game instead of collecting info and writing up an article after the fact.

People care too much about their play money and assets, which I don't blame them for given the server economy. Realistically speaking I don't think this will happen, although I will +1 it. For those who are interested, there is a chance, although small that you can place your own character in a CK situation and have some assets transferred as outlined in the Transfer Request Information post, but it's a risk since it's not something officially supported. "'Eclipse RP currently doesn't have a system to support character kills, thus we will not accept that as the sole reason to transfer assets. Only in very rare occasions if the character kill isn't proven to be random can a Senior Administrator approve asset transfers for character kills.'' For those who don't mind CK'ing their own characters without assistance from staff or any transfer of assets, you can do this on your own. Two of my characters have perma conditions on them which were set at the start of the character, if 3 out of 3 of those conditions are met then the character will be ''vaulted'' and no longer played. These can be simple conditions, for example: - My character is downed by an established nemesis - The RP leading to this down has been going on for at least 3 months - A knife must be used. This is different from the suggestion at hand, but something I recommend people try especially on a new character if they want to get used to playing a character without OOC influence of loosing digital assets.

Still available. Text 535-6160 for any offers. Only offers around the asking price will be considered.

Keep in mind what you think is self-defense might not be IC'ly valid. Example: You might think that chasing someone down for various miles after they've tried to kill you is self-defense, but IC'ly that would not be the case. As mentioned before here, read VERY carefully the IC guide for self-defense and if you still think you were wrongly charged, contact someone from JB and explain what happened (or file an IA report against whoever took it from you.)

+1 Would also like to see a social media platform (not life invader for the love of all that is holy) for simple server wide communication. Think of like a message board/twitter.

For the people concerned about new players interacting with large groups. Perhaps this could be something that can be looked at by LFM in the same spirit as Bakmeel's thread Groups found to be actively providing RP to include other smaller groups or individuals at labs and other public criminal locations could get a Tier reward (what that is I have no clue). Example: Group A charging entry fee for a lab while providing security. This isn't to say that Groups are forced to do these types of RP to progress, but those who do should be rewarded.

I think compromises can be made. It might be beneficial for PD for investigative purposes, but at what cost? Having people (especially during ''dead'' times) wait for 30mins for someone to show up? Why not have something similar to evidence locker logs that stores that information or an updated /viewimpound [Plate] command that not only tells you who impounded the car and when (which is an already existing feature), but also who recently released it and when.

-1 I think the salary cap in government jobs is fine as is. A good to way to achieve the differentiation between higher ranking members would be to slightly lower the salary at certain spots. Example: Instead of having Assistance Chief of Police and Chief of Police at the same salary level. Have CoP at 8,000$ and Ass. CoP at 7.950, etc... If anything, I think the focus should be on the way Eclipse handles taxes, which seriously needs an overhaul both in terms of the bracket percentages and how the server calculates total wealth.

That's a good point. Might be something to consider, perhaps a command that stops prison/jail time from continuing for those types of situations? Idk

I like the percentage idea Pazz mentioned, back in 2019/2020 I used to request through /report that a player have their IC time adjusted if I felt they RPed well, but I think this was changed and prohibited. Maybe a good solution would be to start the jail/prison time as soon as a charge is added. When players eventually arrive at DOC/MRPD/Paleto the time would continue. If for some reason a player was left on a scene for more time then the charge gives out, they would be instantly released as soon as /jail or /prison is used. I think this would take players minds off of jail time knowing that their jail time is already counting down even if they are sitting in the back of a cruiser for 30 mins. This would hopefully increase the level of RP after someone is caught.

I think it's important to note that wanting communication and transparency on the development of the server does not mean people want super strict deadlines. It's better to be told ''Hey we're working on this, it's currently at X stage, planned testing for Y month'' and then be given an update that it had to be delayed + reasoning for it then 0 communication or just the initial information with no follow up. If dev work is actively being done, then inform the community, a weekly/biweekly message on #development about what is being worked on/what has been done since last update. This is the easiest solution to avoid any misinformation or speculation from rightfully frustrated community members.
