As Burnout Nation left October behind and welcomed the winter as they entered November, the Founders began to reflect on the majority of the year that has passed. From Car Shows and Cruises to Parties and Parades, the Founders realised just how much Burnout Nation as a whole has achieved. We all take pride in identifying ourselves as one solid unit of friends and family, creating strong bonds with those who want to join. To represent this identity, we have been sporting the primary colour of white on our daily drivers and have been wearing white tops in our outfits. While many people enjoy this method of displaying our unity, the Founders believed there were some revisions that needed to be made that would allow members to express their creativity with their cars. The introduction of allowing each member to paint their car whatever colour they wanted was not a new idea by any means, but it recently began to seem more appealing to the Founders. They called everyone in Burnout to The Lot to share the good news in person and to explain the reason for the decision. Saying that the news was well received would be an understatement. Once Don and Asbo finished up with delivering the news, everyone made their way to LSC to show their true colours.

Major +1. good idea!

3 days ago, we bid farewell to our beloved friend Alex Odinson/Sorvanis for the next 9 or so months as he leaves for the Greek Military. While he will still stay in touch, he will not be able to do so for the foreseeable future so I would like to reminisce on some of the good times Alex has shared with us over the 2 years he has been on the server. Alex joined the server back in September 2019 at the same time as me. We both applied to Bayview Autocenter and got accepted to become trainee mechanics. At this point, we did not know each other and with both of us being practically brand new to the server, neither of us were very talkative or sociable so we kept to ourselves. However, with me discovering that the server had speakers, I put one down on the ledge at the old Bayview shop and thinking nothing of it, stuck on some good old Avenged Sevenfold. To my surprise, Alex liked Avenged Sevenfold too and was excited that I put them on. I look back fondly at this moment as it was the point where mine and Alex's friendship started. From then, Alex and I only became better friends, speaking to and roleplaying together almost everyday since although there were some breaks in between. Nevertheless, Alex and myself stuck together as the time went on. Through the handover of ownership of Bayview in 2019 to the migration up to Paleto in April 2020, we were both there for it all. As many people did not like the move up to Paleto, we lost many employees, but with that, we also had a fresh influx of interested applicants, one of them being Don Mozzarella. This is how Alex and I met Don. I rejected his application to Bayview once, but then gave him a second chance to come in for an interview. Luckily I did because once he joined the team, the 3 of us became best friends. Over the next few months, we would take on more employees including Maccy Kentworth and Asbjorn Schmidt (although it wasn't a smooth entry into Bayview for him). Both Maccy and Asbo had come from the LSMC where they had a whole group of their own friends who we would eventually become close with too. With Don, Maccy and Asbo already knowing each other, it was a clear gateway for Alex and I to join that friend group. At this point, Burnout Nation was not a thing, but it soon crept up on us. As the summer of 2020 came to an end, Alex had the opportunity to go and work for a couple of months away from home. To tell no lies, I hated these couple of months. I didn't expect to miss someone that much but honestly, it was tough. Nevertheless, I pushed through it and he came back. A lot had changed in those couple of months. Burnout Nation was formed in August, I decided to leave Bayview to focus on PD and to join Burnout officially. When Alex found out about Burnout, he didn't pay much attention to the Car Group itself, but he invested himself into the friend group within. Ever since then, Alex had shared so many memories with all of us at the majority of the Burnout events which can be seen previously on this thread. From September 2020 to September 2021, Alex had been there with us for it all. I had known for a long time that Greece has a mandatory 9 month period of service that all men have to serve and that Alex had not served it yet. When he told me about it, I didn't think to much of it as it seemed like so far away at the time, but little did I know that it would creep up extremely quickly. September 19th 2021 is when Alex was scheduled to leave so for one last Hoo-rah, we held a party for Alex at the old Bayview lot for every one of his friends to come celebrate and spend some time with him before he left. Everyone enjoyed the party and had a great time with Alex. I think it is fair to say on everyone's behalf, that Alex is one of the greatest friends we could have. The amount of fun and joy he brings to any situation is unmatchable in my opinion and I will miss him dearly along with everyone else. As a final message to you Alex, I wish you the best of luck in the Army and while not every moment of it will be pleasant, I hope you enjoy it and learn loads from it. We will be waiting for you when you get home, bro. Den klew egw, esu kles. o7.

Massive +1 for this. It would be a huge amount of work but it would be so worth it for everyone.

Welcome to Eclipse Roleplay! You should join SWAT if you are going to join the LSPD.

The title is a bit misleading. I've been here since September 2019 but I never made one of these, so hi.

First time GTARPer, but I hope to get to know y'all.

That is fantastic... +1

I never even thought of that being an advantage to having this feature. That's huge

So, the reason I would like this to be a feature, is to make typing multiple commands in a row easier. Often times I find myself typing a sentence, pressing enter, then when I press "T" to open chat again, it doesn't do it and leads to me hopping up on a car, getting into a car or taking cover due to me thinking I am typing in chat. This has lead to me jumping off a building and injuring myself a couple of times and it generally just disrupts the RP. As many of you may know, Minecraft has this feature and it makes typing multiple commands in a row much smoother so you can use that as an example of how I think it should work.

The title pretty much explains what I mean but to clarify why I'm suggesting this, here you go. When building on or in a property, the beginning is fairly risk free when you make a mistake, but the more you develop the build, the harder it becomes to remove a specific piece of furniture without accidently removing something else instead. I propose making it so that you can Ctrl+X to bring up the cursor, then right click the exact piece of furniture you want to remove, without having to gamble which thing you will remove. As well as this, I believe there should be an "Edit" button so that making minor adjustments to an item is not a hassle.

Make the IC government website a phone app like LifeInvader

Mahoosive **+1** on this. -
Adding to this, and I know this is not officially stated in server rules, but the alias can basically be considered the person's face. If their character is not in direct line of sight of you, the alias disappears because you cannot see their face. The alias disappears when they cover their face with a mask. If recognising someone through their alias is metagamey, then what's the point of an alias ?
-
The point I made was that if you alias them 3 or 4 times, then it would stick forever. Of course you remember girls from school, because you spent long enough with them to remember them forever, not just 10 minutes.
-
Make it so that when you alias someone, the alias will last for a period of time, then disappear after a few days (Maybe a week) if you do not see that person regularly. Then you will have to re-alias them a few more times so that when you alias them for the 3rd or 4th time, the alias will stick and you will realistically remember the persons name. You would be able to re-alias them as much as you want, in case you made a typo in the name, but this wouldn't restart the timer. I am proposing this to avoid people from remembering people as Cop1 etc., even though they have only met them once. It would also prevent LEO's from seeing someone once on a scene, and then remembering their name forever, to then be able to identify them on another scene in the future, where realistically, you would forget their name if you do not regularly meet them. Let me know what you think and if you can think of any issues with this that I have not thought of.
