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.

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?

Absolutely +1 Doesn’t need to be long, just something that gives you chance to cancel doing.

But you're still carrying it? Like if you had 50 volume of items in the bag, it would weight 50? That being said, I do think the base weight should be changed to like 1 or 2 or even 5 because an empty bag over your shoulder is nothing.

Or you could do call outs where you go to them and bring what equipment you need which could allow for a chunk of the RP (barring like surgeries) without need of a property. Would be cool to see someone take this idea and yoink it and develop it since it doesnt make an awful lot of sense taking to MD.

Update: Some of the fences have been moved so far, specifically around the larger open area. We’re aware of the spot in your picture but yet to find an elegant solution to have the right areas walled off. Also on this topic, there’s a clothes spawning spot in the upstairs cell in the corner to the left of the laundry area. This cell has forever been bugged and permanently locked.

This fence is admin spawned, I'll pass it on to get it moved

It's a balance, the reason I think a bunch of people have been annoyed is there's 2-3 large updates going on at once in the background. Back when there was 1 big thing being worked on in the background and smaller more frequent changes and QoL things were added people seemed very satisfied. I think that's the sweet spot to aim for.

Very cool suggestion @Kjaer as mentioned above this has been implemented, archiving the thread

Plus let’s be real, nearly every person removing shadows isn’t just doing that, they nearly always have fullbright alongside it so they can see people at night time MUCH clearer than any normal game setting change.

I don't. I frankly don't care for it either way and am indifferent at best, But people have been using these modifications to min-max and gain an advantage using them. Which is why the rule was set in place.

Seems like you're doing fine if you have 60 then

Blame the people who go to shootouts with no shadows and full brightness mods, with black skybox 4:3 stretched aspect ratio. Many people have been focusing on pvp over rp and "optimising" for shootouts and it's ridiculous. I am curious to see how much the trees actually affect performance as I'm yet to see aa proper benchmark of how bad they hit.

Please post pictures sir - Not Don

Just to clarify, it's not RP outside of the script, it's RP that needs to get around the script generally speaking. There's quite a difference here. You can do pretty imaginative RP outside of script actions and capabilities, but if it's something that goes against the way the script/game works then that's when you're doing something alternative. There is plenty of freedom for creative and imaginative roleplay and not everything requires script support.

maybe i try convince MD to make vet division this is a joke
