COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT Community Update March 16th, 2019 Dear Eclipse Community, It’s no secret that our community is significantly growing, with particular attention to a large number of new players and existing players we have had return to the community over the last few weeks. We would like to encourage our existing players who may have more roleplay experience to take the time to be patient and help the new players out if they’re unsure of certain commands, or equally are new to roleplay, it is a combined effort that has got us to the stage where we are at now and it is the same combined effort which will allow us to continue growing. QUIZ MANAGEMENT TEAM With the recent and sudden influx of new players, we've reached an unimaginable quiz application queue that we did not expect. In order to swiftly and efficiently handle applications now and in the future, we've created a Quiz Management Team which will consist of Quiz Assistants (players) whose primary responsibility will be monitoring and concluding role-play quizzes and assuring quality among new players. This position is considered Junior Staff and thus you will be expected to read and understand our Staff Master Policy. The criteria for the position are as following: • You will need to possess the ability to demonstrate good characteristic traits and judgment. • You need to be willing to teach and educate new community members and answer questions pertaining to the quiz. • You need to be willing to sit through and review role-play quizzes that come through our system. • You need to possess good knowledge of our server rules and RP guides. • You will need to have been a member of the community for a reasonable time. • You need to be in relatively good standing with the community (no major recent punishment(s)). Find the application form for the Quiz Management Team below:- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdusagYWQN-BrBoEZuwGfWtdsg6S8XtBDe8cCRtLLAqdyfhtQ/viewform SUPPORT TEAM APPLICATIONS We would also like to remind you that our Head of Support, Lewis, posted an announcement yesterday announcing the opening of Support Team applications. If you are interested in becoming a member of our Support Team, please direct your attention to his announcement. The difference between our Quiz Management Team and Support Team is responsibilities. The Support Team is much more difficult to become apart of and has a wider variety of responsibilities both In-Game and out of Game, whereas the Quiz Management Team solely focus on role-play quizzes. Find a link to the announcement below:- https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/15755-support-staff-applications-are-open/ REFUND & TRANSFER REQUESTS We would like to apologize for the prolonged time that refund requests have taken up until now. We've not had a good system in place and we've relied on one or a few staff members to handle refunds, which has been stressful for them and causing an inconvenience for the player, and that was never our intention. Hopefully, that will change now. We've recently introduced a new system internally in the administration team allowing more of our staff to assist the community with reviewing potential loss of items due to server or client issues. This will essentially allow for quick and more efficient handling of refund requests and making it less inconvenient for the player. We will do our best to handle refund requests in the order which they come in, starting with the oldest refund request open. In addition to the above, with our new server rules published and put into effect on the 25th of February, we've also combined transfer requests with refund requests and we've created guidelines for transfer requests. Much like refund requests, the staff team will be able to handle your transfer requests in a quick and efficient manner, again, making it less inconvenient for the player. We ask that you keep yourself informed and that you read our guidelines for both refund and transfer requests. Guidelines for Refund Requests Guidelines for Transfer Requests FACTION APPLICATIONS We would like to thank everyone who applied for faction leadership for Weazel News and San Andreas Department of Corrections. We received a good amount of applications that we'll start reviewing this week, and we will begin interviewing candidates shortly thereafter. On an end note, we would thank community members for their continued support and trust that we have their security and enjoyment in mind at all times. We look forward to what the future will bring with these great new opportunities ahead. Yours, Eclipse Staff

@Lewis

-1 for now, +1 in the future once firearms and licensing is a thing. We can't possibly argue something to be added because it exists in gun stores in real life, do you think someone who has been convicted of murder and other serious felonies can step into a gun store and legally purchase a gun in the United States? Doesn't sound or seem that way, but right now on Eclipse, anyone who goes to prison for whatever charge can just go back to PD and purchase a gun license, the script doesn't care for your criminal convictions.

OFFICER OF THE MONTH: FEBRUARY 2019 (CLICK) SUPERVISOR OF THE MONTH: FEBRUARY 2019 (CLICK)

Now that /dnn and /vnn is gone, I would like to explore new ways of advertising. I would like to advertise using the note system that we have In-Game but it's a pain to have to manually make note after note with your mouse. So if it's possible... :DDDDDD It's 2019, can we please get printing & photocopying technology to Los Santos, please. In either form: A) Add a store, like a print centre where players can go and use the machines. B) Allow players to purchase and place in their home/property. For an object, you could use either: prop_printer_01 : 3470148293 prop_printer_02 : 4216036279 This could be good for various things, Russian Propaganda Police Tickets (some of us actually want to make a ticket on a note and give them a copy). Advertisements Weirdo Stuff like placing symbols on dead bodies. Gang Propaganda etc here's a Lidl concept image (no h8), but you get the deal. Could even advance into more stuff in the future like printing IDs whatnot, but I wanted to keep it simple and do notes for now.

I couldn't find if this has been suggested somewhere, but I would like to see the implementation of a menu that you can open beside/inside a car with options such as opening/closing individual doors of your car, the trunk, and the hood. For example, the mule, you can actually get into the back of the truck if you were able to open the trunk and that could be a nice touch for RP. PD would love being able to open doors for extra immersion, e.g. in felony stops we want to have "cover" and in the past, we were able to open the door we're standing beside by a key, but when we switched over to Rage we lost that ability.

Date and time (provide timezone): 18/FEB/2018, 17:26 CET Character name: Samuel Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: When we use /takestinger on stingers on the ground, it removes the stinger but sometimes leaves "invisible spike strips" on the ground that spikes any car that drives over it. When we use /takestinger on stingers on the ground, it removes the stinger but sometimes leaves the object on the ground. The object is not harmful, it's just there. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Place stingers on the ground and take them, eventually, it will replicate. In the video below, you can see me drive over the stingers on the ground and they are not harmful. However, the 2 lanes on the highway that has no object suffer from the "invisible stinger" syndrome, it spikes my tires even though there is no object there indicating spike strips. And I cannot pick anything up. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Date and time (provide timezone): 16/FEB/2019 Character name: Samuel Osborn Issue/bug you are reporting: when you use /pw or go into the drug lab making screen (not sure if anything else has issues), it doesn't appear. We get a "404 error: file not found" appearing in the upper left corner. please fix :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: just type /pw in a police car or go to the drug lab and try to open it up Vehicle license plate number*: LSPD

I do not support cheaper weapons (we have a gun problem, prices were increased for a reason) neither free housing, that's too much - wealth should be gained through playing, not paying - which is why credit vehicles can't be transferred. Sure, add a "Donator Building" but make players pay for the properties/houses like any other player. Let's not push it P2W. Edit: We are removing the advertisement system (Bleet), let's replace that with a new advertisement system instead. Create advertising boards around town where VIP / Donators can create advertisements that stays for x time, players would need to walk up to the boards and type a command to browse through them. Perhaps let Donators create 2, and VIP 1. If players want their advertisement broadcasted to the entire server they should go through weasel news. Edit 2: The perks of VIP / Donator is already good, and with the Eclipse economy, I do not support discounts of things that are already as cheap as hell. $500 to park your car for an unlimited time at the parking lot? That's like what, 1 bus route? You even get discounted tickets & jail time which IMO is stupid, but I've grown used to it and I accept it. Edit 3: Custom Phone Numbers, 1-time change with VIP. Could even become its own shop item as well. Gives no advantage over anyone else, and is more of a convenience thing. TL;DR - No pay 2 win features are supported by me, no more discounted prices (especially guns) and no free wealth (e.g. properties). Wealth should be gained through playing, not paying. Replace the bleet system with advertising boards/billboards, add a few around Los Santos/Sandy Shores and let VIPs & Donators walk up to these boards and create stationary advertisements that stay for x time. Players would need to walk up to these boards to read the advertisements. If players want to have their advertisements broadcasted to the entire server & on discord, they have Weazel News. Perhaps let Donators have 2 advertisements active and VIPs 1. Add the ability to set a custom phone number (1-time use) when you first become VIP or Donator. This could also become its own shop item.

Yes, that is the idea. If they want to kill their character, they now have an option for that - CK.

Hey Epic Gamers, Something has been bothering me for a while, the "New Life" system. I've been talking with others and I'm kinda bothered with how this system works. I personally feel like we need to change it, and make it so that when you die - you don't start a new life, instead, you get forced into an "RP Coma" and later released at the hospital, forgetting what happened to your character the past x hour(s). Pretty much keep it how it is, but don't keep it as "New Life". EDIT: This idea seems better. If you get injured and there's no one around to treat you - You get delivered to the hospital by NPC medical personnel and you'd RPly be critically injured. Perhaps to combat an endless cycle of retaliation e.g. gang vs gang, we could make it a rule to set OOC standards for better realism that your previous beef with a person is no more, and that you must engage in new role-play with them. It just doesn't make sense to me that you start a new life but still can return to your work, gang, and/or friends and be the same person. Instead of starting a new life every time you die, I'd much rather see the implementation of a voluntary CK system. Meaning that death cannot be forced on you unless e.g. you agree to force CK upon joining a gang whatnot. Normally, a CK in traditional sense means complete character kill, e.g. hardcore mode on certain games just wipes your character when you die and you need to create a new one, but I don't necessarily feel this is what we should do on here because there's a lot of real hours spent into your character and gaining wealth, and then it doesn't make much sense for all grown-up people to arrive at the airport at a new city with pocket change and not being able to afford anything. This should be the effects of a character kill in my own personal opinion: Your name should become disabled, it should not be possible to use this name in the future. Add it to a list of dead names. Your phone should be deleted, number - contacts, and everything. Your inventory should be wiped. Your houses/properties should be automatically sold and the market value given to you. You should be kicked out of your gang/faction and a cooldown of rejoining that specific gang/faction # should be 2 weeks, to allow you to build up your new character's story. All of your saved aliases should be wiped out, everyone should be a stranger to you again. You should be forced to change your name. This is how a CK should be done: To avoid the issue of players "accidentally" CKing themselves and then creating a hassle for the staff team in terms of reverting it, I would recommend that the player having to /report and ask for a Moderator+ to witness the CK RP and then using a command on the player which the player then have to accept, e.g. - /ck [Receiver] > Window pops up for the player explaining the information of a character kill and its effects. At the bottom of the window, there are two buttons, "Accept" "Decline" After the CK is accepted, the player is sent to the airport entrance and a new window pops up where they have to enter a new name. And at this point, all effects of the CK has been applied. Feel free to post feedback/your own suggestions.

Hello. Shadow Cartel recruited members on our platform (Eclipse Roleplay) and then got our members onto their discord, and later proceeded to server advertise another community on this same discord, can you not understand that this is wrong? If Shadow Cartel's discord's members came from outside of Eclipse and their discord was never advertised on our platform, it would've not been an issue, but in this case, Shadow Cartel got members from our community onto your discord and then proceeded to server advertise. Good riddance I say. Sayonara. - Osborn.

I voted no. First Person would be nice if it was less bugged, you can't walk and you can't look into rear/side mirrors of cars. I feel as if it's fine how it is. It's there already as an option for those who want to use it.

I voted yes. The extent of careless driving is too great, coming from all sides. I spent the last few days focusing on traffic enforcement and it's just a common thing, you pull one vehicle over and you'll have 5-6 vehicles drive past you during the traffic stop all doing 160+. Hopefully, speed cameras will deter this and support a more realistic traffic environment.

I voted after the new year. Merry Christmas everyone!

I support the option of being able to /togglerhud or something alike for those who don't want to display their frequency.

PD doesn't decide your jail time or fine, fines & time is automated based on the script which was made by the developers of the server, based on the penal code. City Hall is in the process of being made right now, on top of other things. A full out criminal justice system isn't being made right now simply because we lack people with experience in that field, it'd require a team of dedicated people with good law knowledge. I'm sure that @BallinByNaturewould love to talk to people that are interested in starting something up, just make sure that you have a plan for it.

NOVEMBER UPDATE - MONTHLY BULLETIN BOARD

I mean we probably have the best health care available in the world here in Los Santos. Surely that should cost

INFORMATION The Los Santos Police Department take pride in our integrity, transparency, and commitment to the public. In order to ensure fairness and adherence to procedures and law, we created the Internal Affairs, a division under our Professional Standards Bureau. Internal Affairs consists of a Commanding Officer, Assistant Commanding Officer, and Internal Affairs Investigators, all who work under a Professional Standards Bureau Coordinator, who reports to the (Assistant) Chief of Police directly. To ensure proper and thorough investigations, Internal Affairs doesn't consist of many investigators, the process of becoming an Internal Affairs investigator is lengthy and requires an exemplary record of impartial and honest police work in the Los Santos Police Department. We take allegations of misconduct very seriously, but it's also imperative that our system doesn't get flooded. There's a difference between a severe misconduct allegation and poor professionalism (for example), and for the latter, you can file a complaint directly with a Police Supervisor. The Los Santos Police Department's supervisory team consists of Sergeants and Detectives, all who have gone through a lengthy program to train and evaluate their performance and knowledge, thus they are entrusted with the task of taking complaints. Examples of misconduct, but not limited to; Wrongful Imprisonment / Conviction or Citation Overuse of Force / Questionable Force Gross Misconduct / Unprofessionalism et al. As a faction, we also pride ourselves in the RP standard that we've set, as we intend to lead by example. Because of that, we also accept OOC reports on our forums. Important to note; If you want to report an officer for e.g. demonstrating lower quality RP, then you should first ensure that you play on the RP level that you advocate for. As with any investigation by the Police Department, the evidence is crucial to helping us reach the appropriate outcome of your case. Please include ALL the information and evidence available at the time of the report to obtain the best results. Even if you have no evidence available, your report will be treated the same and your allegation(s) will be investigated 1. REPORT SUBMITTED When a report is submitted to Internal Affairs, it will be reviewed by a supervisor of Internal Affairs who will determine if the report should be forwarded to our investigations database. If the supervisor determines that it's not a legitimate report for any reason, they will send you an e-mail stating why it will not be forwarded. 2. THE REPORT IS FORWARDED TO OUR DATABASE & INVESTIGATION BEGINS Once a report has been forwarded, the supervisor will assign one or more investigator(s) to initiate the investigation around the allegation(s). Investigators will seek out factual evidence pertaining to the report through statements, recordings or any other means (e.g. forensics). Depending on what the report pertains, this process varies in time length, it can be anywhere between 2 days and up to 2 weeks before they've concluded their investigation. An Internal Affairs Supervisor and/or Internal Affairs Command will monitor the investigation thoroughly and give guidance to investigators should they need it. 3. CONCLUSION Once the investigation has been concluded, the investigators will give their recommended conclusion to an Internal Affairs Supervisor and/or Command and they will conclude the report. An e-mail will be sent to your e-mail once the report has been concluded where they will inform you of the conclusion. If the report is found sustained, then the officers it pertains will be disciplined according to LSPD policy, which should be anything from a verbal warning, written warning, suspension, wage garnishment, demotion to a dishonorable discharge. 4. COMPENSATION The Los Santos Police Department will also offer compensation if certain specific allegations are found sustained, e.g. wrongful convictions/imprisonments or citations. This compensation will cover any fines that you had to pay, plus for any other expenses (or lost thereof). Can I appeal the decision made by Internal Affairs? Yes, with the Board of Commissioners on the Government forum. The (Assistant) Chief of Police oversees the Internal Affairs system and cases that come through them. How are members of the LSPD held responsible for wrong-doings? The LSPD has an extensive disciplinary system with a wide variety of disciplinary punishments. Depending on the severity of the incident and the record of the officer(s) in questioning, the disciplinary punishment could be anything from a verbal warning to a dishonorable discharge from the faction. I believe a member of the LSPD broke server rules, what can I do? The Internal Affairs Division doesn't investigate around server rules. You need to post a player report here on the Eclipse forums. Once it has been resolved, you can submit an OOC IA report with the report as a reference and we will look into potentially disciplining the member within the faction. Can I report concerns about role-play quality from members? Yes, Internal Affairs accepts Out of Character reports. Why is my evidence not being used? Internal Affairs will not use any evidence unless it's in compliance with server rules. If /record isn't used, there needs to be proof of RP from prior to the incident of recording equipment being obtained and installed. It also needs to be properly relayed to people in your vicinity. However, we recommend that you include any OOC footage from the incident as we can use that as a point of reference whenever and if we role-play checking e.g. CCTVs, dashcams, body cams etc.

APPLICATION PROCESS When the Los Santos Police Department announces a recruitment drive and opens its doors for new applicants, you may submit your application digitally on our Government Website. It's important that you read over our Application Information prior to applying to make sure that you meed the requirements and criteria for becoming a member of the Los Santos Police Department. Some requirements to be highlighted: You need at least 5,000 experience on the character which you are applying with, and you need to have had a clean admin record for 45 days from the date you submitted your application. We also require that you have a functional microphone that you can use when needed. INTERVIEW PROCESS If you have passed the initial stage of the hiring process, you will need to partake in two interviews - one which is Out of Character and done on our discord server, and one which is In Character and done entirely In-Game. Both these interviews serve a purpose, we will test your knowledge on server rules and role-play terms in general, and we will also test your ability to role-play and communicate. ACADEMY TRAINING If you have passed your interview, you will be scheduled to participate in a Police Academy. The purpose of the Academy is to introduce you to the Los Santos Police Department and its principles and values. You will get taught and evaluated on the basic but vital procedures and protocols, as well as commands. You will also get to participate and try out certain things during the academy. The duration of an academy varies between 60-180 minutes depending on the size, amount of questions and other unforeseen issues. INTRODUCTORY TRAINING & EVALUATION Once you have completed the Police Academy, you will be sworn in as a Police Cadet. Depending on your intentions, personality and goals, the Cadet period may not be the most fun period in the faction, but it's important to us that each and every member that represents the faction, is properly trained and evaluated before they represent the faction on a larger scale. If you like training and learning new things, then this period will definitely be fun and rewarding for you. 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 Police 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 LSSD, the LSPD 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. Police Officer 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 Police Department and that includes access to new equipment and vehicles.

Edit, to clarify. You do the RP of you speaking in Russian in /me but you still have to speak English.

Los Santos Police Department "To Protect and Serve" The Los Santos Police Department was reformed in May 2017 to what it is today, and it has since then, strived to provide the community with realistic role-play. The Los Santos Police Department adapts our structure and standard operating procedures to real-world policing in the United States, with a specific focus on the Los Angeles Police Department. The fundamentals of the faction are to have strict In-Character as well as Out-of-Character policies, regulations, and procedures, as we believe that it is the core to ensure that we can provide the community with the best realistic police role-play. This faction thread is purely Out of Character and aims to introduce you to the Los Santos Police Department, as well as inspire you by showing what type of role-play that our members get to involve themselves in.

RECRUITMENT & MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION 4. INTERNAL AFFAIRS During the San Andreas Gold Rush, the State of San Andreas was guarded by its County Sheriff and multiple militias that were created to aid the already existing County Sheriff. It wasn't until 1869 when the first paid police force created, to what we today know, as the Los Santos Police Department. The force started with six paid Police Officers that served under City Marshal Jackson White, however, White was shot by one of his deputies in 1870 and was soon replaced by John F. Smith, by the newly created Board of Commissioners. Smith's succession as the City Marshal lasted only a year, as he was replaced by a saloon owner, William Harris. During the years of 1876 to 1889, the Police Force had fifteen different police chiefs. The Los Santos Police Department did not provide its officers with official training until 1916 when the first police training was introduced. This is the police training that has been the fundamentals of what we know today and it is the reason why the Los Santos Police Department is one of the largest and statistics-driven Police Department. Chief Gas Ketse was appointed Chief of Police on January 21, 2017, but soon found himself replaced by Chief Sebastian Freeman in May 2017. Chief Sebastian Freeman and his staff began the reform of the Los Santos Police Department shortly afterward, successfully managing to re-create the entire structure of the Los Santos Police Department, Bureaus and Divisions within. After a successful reform of the entire department, with the help of his staff, Chief Freeman was appointed to become one of the city's first Government Commissioners in July 2017, and his successor, Chief Ramon Carter took over reigns in the Los Santos Police Department. Chief Ramon Carter followed the path of his predecessor and continued to improve and push the Department to strive further success and improvements. Chief Carter, just like his predecessor, was appointed the second Government Commissioner on September 19th, 2017. His successor, Chief Samuel Osborn, was appointed Chief of Police the same day. Chief Osborn's reign only lasted until October 20th, when he stepped down and allowed his successor, Chief Katherine Taylor to take reigns of the Los Santos Police Department. Chief Taylor was the longest-serving Chief of Police of the Los Santos Police Department, she was appointed Chief of Police on October 27th, 2017 until she stepped down on September 28th, 2018 and assumed a new role in the Los Santos Police Department. During Chief Taylor's reign, she pushed for further success and improvements in the Departments and to further strengthen the relations between the community and the Police Force. Chief Taylor and her staff pushed for the Department's second-biggest structural revamp on July 21st, 2018, and that's when the Department expanded the previous 5 Bureaus, to 7 Bureaus divided into 3 Offices. Chief Osborn was re-appointed and sworn in as the Chief of Police on September 28th, 2018. During his reign, the department saw more changes to its structure and new appointments were made into High Command and Command Staff. On July 10th, 2019, Chief Osborn put in a retirement request to the San Andreas State Government, and his successor, Chief Mick Reefer, was inaugurated as the Chief of Police on July 21st, 2019. On November 24th, 2019, following Chief Reefer's immediate resignation, both the San Andreas State Government and the Assistant Chief of Police, Alex Donnelly, put forth a request for Chief Osborn's return.
