Osborn

Date and time (provide timezone): N/A Character name: Samuel_Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: The Sheriff's Uniform for the "SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT DETAIL" branch was recently fixed, however, when you use the command /PHAT in that branch, it gives you the LSPD HAT instead instead of the Sheriff's Hat. Expected behavior: Gives you the wrong hat. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Put yourself in the Special Enforcement Detail branch and type /phat. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Hey. We are not looking to add any more Law Enforcement factions in the near future (or ever). Our next plan with legal government factions is to establish a judicial branch in the Government. You are more than welcome to apply for the Sheriff's or Police Department when they're hiring, if you are interested in direct law enforcement. You can also apply for Department of Corrections if law enforcement within the prison interests you. Thanks for your suggestion, - Osborn.

@Lewis adopt?

No one has deleted anything :))))) Maybe you forgot to press

disband SD EDIT: You can only see 3 applications because that's what you can see. We have in fact 13 people right now pending academy, 1 pending physical examination and 7 pending interview.

Hello, thank you for your suggestion. We have no interest in creating some form of a rehab program, the DM punishments are severe because we see it as a severe server rule and it's what we as community managers see what's best for our community. It's not hard to not follow rules guys! Also good to note, while it technically says "permanent ban", it's more of an "indefinite ban" in most cases. It's permanent until appealed, where it then can either turn into a temporary ban, indefinite or just remain permanent. Unfortunately, our punishments are not a topic for discussion - Staff discusses internally if we feel that we need to change our punishment severity.

I do not support the idea, no heavy RP servers I've played on across SA-MP and GTA 5 has supported this. On Eclipse, we're trying to sway away from action RP and have people focus on more social and passive RP. Given the response that we've had to new features like the mining job and farming job, where people that do these jobs get constantly robbed, I don't see how this would be any different. Cops are not meant to be targets for robberies, and this would cause exactly that. Let's push for more passive/social RP and criminal features other than this

It's very sad when someone you've known for years pass away. We did not see eye to eye all the time on Eclipse, but from SA-MP, we shared many great memories together. In memory of Daniel, I've gone ahead and pinned this. Hopefully, his videos and screenshots will live on as a memory.

Archived. New leadership ERA begins :)

I like the idea of expungement of non-violent crimes to a certain extent, but as Steel mentioned, IRL it's not an easy process - you just don't walk into your city hall building and change your name. There's a court process, you'll most likely have to go through some parole & rehabilitation process and complete that properly, then court hearings where a judge determines if you qualify for it or not. But to do all this, we need a court system - which we don't have right now. https://www.shouselaw.com/expunge-criminal-records.html

There are no bugs that cause your charges to remain active after you get sentenced by a player. After you get sent into prison by a player, your charges go from ACTIVE to INACTIVE in the server database and the police MDC. Only if you get admin jailed will they remain active, but you weren't admin jailed. Please do not lie to administrative staff to get out of prison sentences, it is a serious offense that we do not appreciate. In your particular case, you were charged by IMPERSONATION by a Sheriff's Deputy, who also noticed that you had OUTSTANDING (ACTIVE) added by a member of the LSPD; which resulted in your prison sentence of 500 (something) minutes. This was not a bug, neither should you have deceived Chuck into releasing you earlier.

I was denied, can I apply again? Yes, next Recruitment Drive unless otherwise specified in your denial message. I failed one of the stages, can I apply again? Yes, next Recruitment Drive unless otherwise specified in your denial message. I have recently been removed from a faction because of poor OOC conduct or other OOC reasons, can I still apply? You will most likely not be allowed to partake in the Sheriff's Recruitment Process unless you have shown that you are in good standing with the community and other factions for a consistent time period. I am from a different region than the one that you are looking for members in, can I still apply? No. Can I appeal my denial or any of the stages that I failed? No. All denials and recruitment stages are supervised by Senior Members of the faction. Is it easy to progress or gain higher ranks in this faction? No. Like the LSPD, the LSSD believes in good and proper character development as well as a somewhat realistic portrayal of a Law Enforcement agency. Higher up positions like supervisor and above are also limited and have added responsibilities both IC and OOC, and we need to make sure that no one gains the power to fast and that they earn their position in the faction by experience and knowledge. In turn, this results in better obedience in terms of upholding our regulations & standards, which results in better relations with the Eclipse Community. Members that perform good and don't get disciplined either IC or OOC can expect a promotion every 1-2 months, however, certain members may hit a wall when they reach the final rank of whichever group they're apart of (e.g. Field Staff, Supervisory Staff and Command Staff). The higher you climb in the faction, the more responsibilities you will have whether that's out of the game or in the game. We do not "force" paperwork (forum work) on anyone, people choose if they want to progress or not themselves when we offer it to them. Will I be able to get a heavy weapon quickly in the faction? No. Deputy Sheriff II is the lowest rank that can apply for a certification which will allow you to use a shotgun on duty under strict regulations. Progression takes time in the Sheriff's Department and that includes access to new equipment and vehicles.

Los Santos County Sheriff's Department "A Tradition of Service" The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department is a law enforcement faction that focuses on providing enjoyable and realistic police role play. This faction thread is entirely Out of Character and is only meant to give you an insight into how we have built this faction. We ask that no information provided in here is metagamed and that you instead visit the Government Website to browse through In Character Information. The faction is primarily based upon and draws inspiration from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

This is a really old suggestion that I was not aware that I had created in 2018. is more recent and more detailed Feel free to discuss on there! I am also unsure why some people feel that my suggestion would be a PD regulated system, it wouldn't - PD does not and will not be able to force anyone to kill their own character, this all comes down to the player's own choice!

My thoughts are that the LSPD recruitment process is primarily In Character. If you want to question any IC aspects of the recruitment process, you can reach out to recruitment officers, as well as for any OOC inquiries. https://gov.eclipse-rp.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=332 - Director of our Office and Support Services https://gov.eclipse-rp.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1700 - Commanding Officer of our Recruitment & Employment Division The LSPD recruitment process is run entirely by the faction and not the community. There is no rules or guidelines dictating how our recruitment process should work on an Out of Character level. I will be closing this thread as you've been given advice on how to proceed.

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Server Rules Update June 11th, 2019 Dear Eclipse Community, Following a recent staff meeting, we've reviewed our server rules and decided to make some minor adjustments which could affect you. Please read through this short update as the changes are effective after midnight UTC, June 12th. 11. Powergaming We've seen an increased amount of players trying to perform alternative role-play such as hiding their keys or license and then using this role-play to influence future role-play, e.g. when you're stopped by the police and claim that you have no license on you. Because of this, we'll be adding the following line to the powergaming rule: If you perform an action which will influence potential RP in the future, you must have OOC evidence of performing said RP. E.g. hiding your keys/license and not having them on you. Your OOC evidence should consist of a recording or screenshot and it needs to be timestamped (/time). This RP would only be valid for 48 hours or until your character dies and NLR is triggered. The time limit does not apply to rule 7. And just to clarify, this is not a "new" rule, this is the ideology that the staff team has followed since the beginning. We wanted to add this for easier understanding among our players. 13. Fear Roleplay (FRP) There is no major change to this rule, but rather clarifications. Many players have thought our examples to be a list of final examples, but to make it clear, we'll be adding a clarification that the list is not final for both examples of when your life is considered to be in danger and not in danger. Under the examples of where your life is not considered to in danger, we'll be rewording the following line "• When you are in a vehicle which engine is not stalled." to "• When you are in a car which engine is not stalled." This means that on a motorcycle, whether the engine is on or off, your life is considered to be in danger if someone walks up to you at close range with a gun, as the motorcycle provides zero protection. 14. Deathmatch (DM) Our VOIP has become more stable In-Game in comparison to when these rules were written. At times where VOIP isn't working, we've got a command to reset your VOIP (/voicereset 1>3). We aim for smooth role-play in the community, and that means you shouldn't have to relay demands or communicate with other players using text unless you absolutely have too (e.g. no microphone, other reasons). Because of an improved VOIP system, we've changed "You must give demands via text if used as a reason to attack as VOIP isn’t always heard." to "If a player informs you that your VOIP isn’t working, you must either fix your VOIP using /voicereset or use text to deliver your demand(s)." What this means is that it falls on the responsibility of whoever is having demands are given to them to inform the other party that their VOIP isn't working through OOC chats (/pm, /b or /ooc), and if informed, the player giving demands must either fix their VOIP or use text as the rule dictates. MISCELLANEOUS CLARIFICATIONS Carrying bodies & Powergaming We'd like to inform the community that it is considered power gaming to be randomly or without RP, picking up the body of an injured player. You have to role-play properly with injured players using /me and /do. This is not a new rule, it's only something that seems to have slipped through the cracks for the majority of our players. Driving vehicles and leaving them on roofs of No Crime Zones We've noticed this being a trend and we do not condone it. We find it very unrealistic to drive e.g. a motorcycle up on the roof of a bank and leaving it there. Should we catch players in the act or find their vehicles on No Crime Zone roofs, we'll be impounding the vehicle and potentially punishing the player for Non-Roleplay. This is not the sort of behavior that we want in the community. Leaving Cars in No Crime Zones for the sole purpose of using them as a stash vehicle The Staff Team brought up a concerning topic of players utilizing No Crime Zones as a safe haven for their stash vehicles, and this is not the idea behind No Crime Zones. If you leave your car at a No Crime Zone where it can't be interacted with by other players for the sole purpose of storing illegal contraband in it, we will be impounding your vehicle, potentially taking items from it and punishing the player for No Crime Zone Violation. Scratching Radios & Obtaining Frequencies from others We no longer support the idea of scratching/damaging radios through role-play to influence potential role-play situations. There are too many loopholes that can be exploited and we quite frankly do not want to support it. If you know that you're stepping into a situation that might put you at a disadvantage, dispose of your radio, hide or somewhere, or change its frequency before someone gets ahold of it. Players can still utilize /me and /do to check the frequency of your radio, and as per power-gaming rules, you are expected to answer truthfully. We will be introducing script support in the future to be able to "damage" your radio and see frequencies of radios in your possession. There is no ETA on this but it has been discussed and planned for implementation. General Toxicity & Unhealthy Behavior on Discord We would also like to emphasize on the fact that the Eclipse Discord server and all discords associated with Eclipse Roleplay is considered to be a part of our platform. In these servers our general community rules apply, that means that you can be banned from our community (not only discord ) should you show that you're not contributing positively to the community. Some examples of these are; Harassment of factions or members through text or images; Using Extreme Offensive language to another community member or staff. This is nothing new, but we've come to an understanding that some community members seem to think our discord server is a free for all playground where there are no consequences for their words or actions. On an end note, We'd like to remind all of our players to play fair. Enjoy the game and the role-play it brings, don't log in with the attitude of winning all situations you come across, let role-play dictate the outcome of your situations and accept a loss once in a while. We do not condone the play to win attitude. Yours, Eclipse Staff

This happens for PD too, where the car just gets deleted. We spawn it, get in and sometimes it just despawns after a while.

Treasure Hunt in teams :)) Drop some clues around, one clue leads to another. Kind of like the TV show The Amazing Race.

Faction was unbroken by Osvaldon, and then @Serthon broke it today again by inviting people to the faction.

Date and time (provide timezone): N/A Character name: Samuel Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: Quitting your job while in prison removes the limitations of being in prison. Expected behavior: It gives you civilian clothing (removing the prison outfit) It removes limitations, allowing you to use your phone and toggle your mask on/off to contact people on the outside. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Just use /quitjob while being in prison. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A Players abusing this bug will receive a ban for abusing the script.

Date and time (provide timezone): About 24 hours ago, I do not know the exact time. Character name: Samuel Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: Los Santos Police Department is broken in the Faction Menu. No one can access the faction, [View Details] doesn't respond, it works for all other factions. Expected behavior: Nothing happens. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: I am unsure what exactly caused this, but I will tell you what I did prior to it breaking I created two new groups, LIEUTENANT II and CAPTAIN II. I changed the permissions for these two new groups. I renamed two groups, LIEUTENANT to LIEUTENANT I and CAPTAIN to CAPTAIN I. I was going to adjust the salary for these 2 new groups I created, so I clicked on the [PAYMENTS] tab. I realized this was the wrong tab, so I then quickly tried to click on the [SALARIES] tab, but it wasn't responsive, so I tried to exit out of the F4 menu, but it wouldn't work, I couldn't click [Exit] or F4. I had to reconnect. Upon connecting back to the game, I couldn't access my faction in F4 anymore, neither could anyone else on the server. Perhaps with the salary update, creating new groups could have caused this? That's the only possible cause I can think off. I created the new groups and broke the faction once I tried to access the salaries tab. Of course, I could be wrong! Just food for thought. Vehicle license plate number*: STAFF-1

Great update! Love it.

I made a similar suggestion
