  1. +1 I think it's a bit much to combine makeup with plastic surgery and the incredibly high price. It would be nice to have a store where you can just adjust make up or add it to barber shops (along with more chairs)
  2. +1 I would much rather see vehicles only enter a shootout to provide cover or extract, not participate in the attacking via ram.
  3. -1 this has been suggested multiple times and turned down for the exact reasons as above... just no
  4. I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to something being enforced until drug labs get a revamp. Lab locations are stationary which have a massive drawback. Anybody who is having a bad day or anything can just go lab hopping and call from outside without even knowing if anybody is inside or not just to get labs destroyed - they can even go to Sandy MD and call from there while receiving NCZ protection. It’s a bit of a broken system for 911 calls and labs. I wouldn’t be opposed to having to physically go to SD or PD to report it or something else that would make things a bit more fair.
  5. Personally I don't think punishments should ever expire/be voided unless an appeal is accepted. One of the biggest reasoning for this is because people can end up doing the exact same thing they did previously to get the expired punishment. I think something that may be better is to increase the categories of punishments. Right now a lot naturally falls under Non-RP which I believe is compensated by how many infractions you can get but it could still be divided into different categories. Players should also be aware that your punishment history is taken into account during the appeal process which is why many state that they have been playing for a while without any infractions.
  6. I believe this is something that, if made, should be done following consulting with Senior Staff to ensure compliance with metagaming as well as ruleplay.
  7. -1 for the same reasons as stated previously
  8. I've seen a decent amount of suggestions related to expanding on the fishing in the server to make it more immersive as well as increased opportunities (ie: different types of fish, different fishing areas, etc.) so ultimately I am supportive of anything that can continue expanding on this. I do think that water desync needs to be fixed before we do a lot in regards to water related things but I don't see any issue with adding a 4th boat to the server considering we already have 3. Having options is nice and adds to RP/immersion. Overall +1
  9. As stated in this above quote, you can already do this you just need to find the opportunity to do so.
  10. -1 This just sounds like a pathway to ruleplay to me as well as metagaming considering people will end up purchasing vehicles solely off that list for the purpose of ramming.
  11. Name: Nicole “Nicky” Crawford (formerly Torres -> Harper) Date of Birth: 18/SEP/1990 Nationality: Puerto Rican Relationship Status: Single San Andreas Department of Corrections Correctional Officer III Correctional Emergency Response Team Specialist Operative On the morning of September 18, 1990, Leslie and Nicholas Torres welcomed Nicole into the world at Traverse General Hospital. Born into a wealthy family, Nicole grew up with access to better food, higher quality education in the comfort of her own home, and novelties many could not afford. Even though they moved around every few years, from Puerto Rico to the inland States to Europe, there wasn’t much to complain about and life was great - until the week following her 15th birthday. The night four men in dark suits took her father away was a day she would always remember. Left with her privately depressed mom and no explanation of why her father wasn’t coming home. Nicole did what she could to support her mother while digging into the mysteries surrounding her dad. The more she dug, the worse the truth became. Following days of sneaking, talking, and eavesdropping, Nicole finally hit gold. Her father, the loving, caring, and respected Nicholas Manuel Torres, was second in command of a firearm and drug trafficking ring. The groups of men always at the house playing with her in the backyard and whispering to her dad started to make sense. The countless hours of weapons training she went through with her dad and “uncles” started to click. The frequent “fix your stance” “lead with your right” “1, 2, dodge, hit, hit” held new meaning. Of course, following this discovery, Nicole did what any shocked and sheltered 15 year old would do and went to her mother. What a mistake that was. Leslie, having her nightly pre-coma date with vodka, knew it all and spilled every dirty detail to Nicole. Talk of drugs, bribes, and possible murder shattered everything Nicole loved and believed in. Her world was rocked to the core. For the next 2 years, Nicole lived a double life. During the day she was the home schooled rich girl who laughed and smiled in public with her mom. Once the neighborhood porch lights turned off, she snuck out of the house to drink, experiment with drugs, and flirt with danger with her new group of “friends.” It became her escape from all the craziness in life. There was no point truly being “perfect” when only disappointment was waiting around the corner. Waiting it was. Nothing really can compare to having your father taken away from you at 15 and coming home to a scribbled “You’re a pain” note on the fridge of an empty house at 16. Not only was her father gone, but now Nicole had absolutely nobody to turn to. Word of her family disgrace quickly spread through the grapevine. From the sins of her father to her mother abandoning her for alcohol with a sprinkle of her nighttime misbehaving on top. There was no more hiding from the truth and no more trying to maintain a squeaky clean image. It just wasn’t worth it anymore. Making a life on your own as a 16 year old isn’t the easiest feat. Selling drugs, picking pockets, and swiping from stores was the only real way. From this, Nicole had her fair share of bump ins with law enforcement. Most of the time she was thrown in holding as a slap on the wrist, other times a kind judge would verbally reprimand her then send her back into the streets. Judge Brett Harper had a heart of gold but his patience was wearing thin. After the 10th meeting in his chambers, the judge finally put his foot down, threatening real jail time if Nicole stepped out of line one more time. On the exterior Nicole didn’t care about jail but on the inside she shivered with fear. How would she survive without her street methods? Jail time, at this point, was seemingly inevitable. She worked the streets but it was all small petty things. Could she even handle herself surrounded by hardcore criminals? All hope was going up in flames. Until she appeared and by she we mean the smart, quick witted, and self made force of nature, Elena Torres, better known as Aunt E. Aunt E gave Nicole two options, the first, to continue her ways and end up in jail, or the second, to clean up her act and move in. There was absolutely no question as to which was the better option. Nicole swallowed her pride and agreed to the terms. Days turned into months which went on for 2 years. Nicole cut ties with her old crowd, stopped doing drugs, finished high school, and worked her way from cashier to shift supervisor of a small clothing store. Things were looking up and honestly the past was nothing but a distant memory. Now she had friends, a relationship, money, a good job, and living with her aunt was good for her credibility. No longer was Nicole the bad good girl. She was respected and people smiled and waved when passing by on the street. All this time, Nicole forgot the most valuable lesson she learned during her days on the streets. Reality can be a bitch when it’s time for a wake up call. “She’s just like her parents. I’m only helping to keep everybody quiet. You know what they say… never abandon your family. My brother was a piece of shit but I have to be the nice sister. At least the extra money keeps the maids happy.” When would Nicole learn? If something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Nobody would care about her and take her seriously if she was nice. Her father risked their livelihood, her mother picked cheap vodka over her own flesh and blood, even her aunt cared more about her image and money. If home was where you were supposed to feel safe, secure, and loved, this sure as hell wasn’t it. The only time Nicole felt that without a doubt was on the streets. Unfortunately, she already severed those ties years ago. Realizing there was no place left for her, Nicole ran to the last person she prayed she could still believe in. He who previously scolded her for her behavior yet took her under his wing to teach her the art of medicine and law enforcement after swinging his gavel for the last time. Formerly Judge and now simply Mr. Harper, listened to Nicole’s story through her sobs. Not a word of judgement, ill will, or disappointment passed his lips. It was only when she woke up on the Harper’s couch and saw a backpack with an envelope in front of it that a genuine smile reached her eyes for the first time in so long. Find Your Freedom Love Maisy & Brett 18 years of lies, betrayal, and manipulation. It was time for a fresh start. With the backpack open and resting on her lap, Nicole Torres looked down at the stamped document in her hands before turning her eyes to the stranger appearing to her right. “Excuse me, Miss, is this seat taken?” Shaking her head side to side with a smile, Nicole nodded to the empty seat beside her. “Also… it’s Nicole… Nicole Harper.” The next words that rang through the air had such a pleasant tone nothing could possibly compare. “Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking…” The next few years Nicole would spend her time traveling around the states looking for purpose and a way to create her new life before finally setting her feet down in the state of San Andreas and beginning her next chapter.

  12. +1 Yes, yes, a million times yes! I think it's silly to go through so much OOC stuff just to get a weapon off somebody. As a DOC guard this would be very much appreciated (especially so people stop trying to attack me after I OOCly uncuff them -.-)
  13. +1 under the conditions: - An action timer before your location is transmitted - Location share only lasting a short period of time - You can only share your location, not request another person's The reason for this is due to the potential for abuse. As it stands right now you can describe your location/state where you are on the GPS to your friends which takes a bit of time and so the convenience of something like this where you get a ping instead shouldn't also be instantaneous.
  14. +1 poker tables pretty please - I'd buy one in a heartbeat
  15. +1 I don't like chasing people at DOC after they randomly jump out the back and start sprinting for dear life.

    Bolt Cutters

    +1 to either being able to get bolt cutters or using bobby pins to open these gates. There should be risk associated with parking your car in a self made garage as opposed to using the scripted house parking.
  17. Hello all and thank you for reading over this suggestion! When using a campfire you have to be decently close to it to press "E" and bring up the crafting menu. However, the issue lies with the fact that the campfire can set you up in flames from almost the same distance. There is no warning or anything, you just go up in flames. I'm suggesting either the use/crafting radius be increased so you may open the menu from just a bit further away to avoid being engulfed in flames, or the damage radius (radius in which you can be engulfed) be decreased. In its present state, it is somewhat difficult to use the campfire without either a trip to MD or a /report 2 Death by campfire? I wasn't even standing on it. Note this is a suggestion because the campfire itself is still usable, it just could use some tweaking. Once again, thank you for reading over my small suggestion. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

    Death RP

    -1 Death RP should remain as a reward for incredible RP and should never be expected by anybody. If you are being pursued by law enforcement and subsequently injured, you should expect to go to prison as opposed to immediately thinking about death rp and avoiding your prison sentence.
  19. Solitary confinement is never an addition to your sentence as it is internal policy and has no connection to the penal code which is what determines your jail sentence. Along with this, the solitary script is bound to the prison scripting and can only be used when a player is scriptly imprisoned. This suggestion does not keep you scriptly imprisoned, it just keeps you from teleporting out should you want to pursue more active prison RP. With any scenario the conclusion would be dependent on those involved in the active roleplay.
  20. Massive +1 to this and everything said below
  21. Hello all and thank you for reading over this suggestion. As many are aware, when you are imprisoned at Bolingbroke Penitentiary, once your jail time has expired you automatically spawn outside the gates near the front door. This can happen at any point in time and in no way takes into account any active roleplay that may be occurring. Many times if there is an active scenario happening, we may /pm the player and ask if they want to continue, at which point we OOCly get them back into the prison to continue the RP. What I am suggesting is a change to the automatic release system from prison. Whenever there is a server restart, we are presented with the option to teleport to another area or remain stationary. I believe it would be beneficial to have something similar to this appear when your jail time is up. Once your jail time has expired, players are presented with a popup asking if they are ready to be released from prison. From here, they have the option to click accept or deny. Should they click accept, the release would function as it normally does. Should the player deny automatic release, their clothing would return to normal and following conclusion of the roleplay, can exit the prison. Players of course would still have the option to just leave as usual but those who want to finish everything would have the chance. All in all, this suggestion is being made primarily to counter the sudden stop of roleplay in the prison when somebody is released. As we at DOC are attempting to provide more RP in the prison, it would be nice to see these scenarios through as opposed to the sudden stop, "oh... the release team took them" and break in immersion. Once more thank you for reading and please provide any and all feedback below!
