I saw a blue house with a yard for sale down the road from the motel actually the other day so might be worth looking

I have 2x 1Gs available in the motel beside the Paleto Bank. They’re listed for sale if you want to take a look. Happy to negotiate a price though, drop me a text #335-2510

You could genuinely attempt this with a decent financial backing and some vehicles and adverts. Sure you wouldn’t have f4 salary management and stuff to start with but you can definitely attempt to negotiate some sort of government subsidised salary from the government ic pretty easily if you were an actual faction. It has more script support as is than most other faction ideas I’m surprised someone hasn’t attempted it yet.

Cost could be managed a bit to make them more in line with each other, sure. In terms of adding a bigger safe I disagree, specifically "safe". The 2 options there are pretty decent, and if the price was balanced a little more you have a good 2 options for securing things. A storage item that's like a more static crate like pictured below as a furniture item that can store a hefty load (either slots, weight, or both) BUT be unprotected by codes would be good. Using vending machines as storage was great, the un-breakable aspect was shit but the volume and slots were so good for organising and bulk storage. Plenty of potential options here: https://gtahash.ru/?s=crate I'd personally use it as temporary storage for furniture over weeks of building personally, and I'm sure it could be useful to criminals also who want to bulk store and care a bit less about security.

Like, if your complaint is you’re broke and need more ways to make money easier or things are too expensive then say that, that’s completely fair and valid, I think it’s disingenuous to make out private labs are fulfilled with roleplay

No memes. Top of the line “tier 1” vehicle, obviously you can’t get day 1 but there’s a LOT of other vehicles. you initially generalised it, I’m sorry I didn’t realise you meant a starter criminal just joining should be able to get a Shinobi within a week or whatever. Progression is a form of rp

You can buy a bike or a car day 1

90k profit for 3 hours is better money than any job in the game though, by a lot? And do you not think gangs should have more access (well, success) than solo criminals?

Also ability to push your own vehicle when within NCZ.

Don’t you have your own advertising agency to scam people on

Just because you said it’s cozy doesn’t mean it’s worth 800k!

There's 165 people in official illegal factions alone compared to 216 LSPD and LSSD combined. When factoring in the unofficial gangs and the solo criminals do you not think those numbers are rather balanced? I feel number of people in the faction or online isn't really the problem. And it's hard to really make an argument for limiting to X per scenario as that'd have to be applied both sides for it to not be crazy. Obviously there's the backup rule and stuff but that's kinda hard to think of a way to balance that against LEO if that comes up as a topic. Said as someone rather impartial to this whole topic as I'm neither LEO nor a serious crim.

This tbh. Another issue is if this theoretical thing was implemented people get angry or salty that someone else from a different faction (generally that they consider the enemy, ooc half the time) is judging their RP. I'd take even more ways of reducing time within the prison itself, like making the stamp:time ratio better. Offering time off as an incentive seems good on paper but I can imagine a fair few issues come with it working the ways mentioned above. Don't bribe people to do better RP, instead make them feel a bit less crappy about being in prison in the first place and the RP will flow from that. The changes so far have done a pretty good job at that and going further with it would improve that. I'm not even going to talk much about MD RP because I'm gonna be honest with you guys, most of the time I've seen something beyond "/do broken leg" is when someone wants to stall to bleed out and generate continuous wounds that don't stop bleeding, I think a lot more effort needs to be given from the criminal side in this regard. (A simple "/me would require surgery for X" would prompt an AMU response if that's available and can be fun RP if someone actually cared about RPing something more serious)

Merged with the same topic you made a month ago

I have no stake in either side of this I am just trying to fuel discussion in a more productive manner than “yeaaah fuck pd”: 1: When you guys mention “charge stacking” your examples aren’t charge stacking. You should think of another term for adding lesser charges that are relevant but bump up time. 2: What exactly is the solution you want? PD to adopt SDs policy? Reduce jail time? Both? Would be good to have a general idea on what an ideal scenario would look like for you for a change to be considered. You do also have to keep in mind that at the end of the day if they charge you for a crime you did they’re doing their IC job adequately. not that I’m against change. 3: It’s worth keeping in mind also that jail times have been reduced over the last 3 years( I think twice?) and DOC has been given things for people to do, and internally DOC guard roleplay itself has evolved a lot, I remember a time where we wouldn’t enter the cellblock because it was a DM clusterfuck (much much worse than now). My point being, where’s the end where everyone is happy? When we have 15 minute sentences like other much lighter roleplay servers? Even as someone who doesn’t go to prison often as a criminal, I can totally understand how 5 hours in prison would be shitty as that’d take out a large chunk of my play time in a week. But I’m going to be honest, the general criminal population does not put any effort into roleplay in prison and that mentality itself also needs to change if a compromise is to be had between all sides on this topic.

What Bala said tbh, Player count lowers over the holiday period Nov-Dec-Jan and then picks up February and starts ramping up in March April. It's been like that pretty consistently for about 3 years now that I've seen. But I mean, we're at like 3pm on a Thursday and we still have 144 players right now and double+ that at peak times. I don't think that's bad at all. I do agree personally that a more consistent stream of smaller updates is better, and was very well received when that was done last year, the push from the criminal community has meant that several large updates have been coming and are still coming. Which is absolutely fine, but no matter what scale the updates are and the frequency it will never be enough to satisfy everyone.

+1

That would be up to the director of Property & Housing to be honest, last I heard it was being leased by someone but you can find contact details here: https://gov.eclipse-rp.net/viewtopic.php?t=117249

FYI: This property is not owned, it's leased by the state government. You should reach out to someone from the Property and Housing Bureau to see about leasing it from them if you wish to use it

Why would anyone purposefully select "finish robbery" in this scenario? Maybe instead just X time of 0 people being inside.

Prolonging fist fights would be cool, with rage actually syncing melee much better than it used to fights are usually over 2-3 hits. I’d say it’s less about the fear rp and more about just making fist fights more entertaining to watch and participate in.

For sake of discussion, what's to stop people maxing noise and always putting him under gunpoint, making it 0 skill and effort and guaranteed win?
