I agree, even though I know you have made a good-faith decision to distance yourself from people involved in sharing criticism, I think this is an important consideration when talking about the topic at hand. +1 Pazz, good post

I would like to see any content tbh This has been done multiple times. I can only assume they have a folder labeled "Suggestion list" that never sees any attention. Why give them suggestions when they cant even uphold a roadmap they begged the community to believe in to save the dying status of what the server was

Please keep all horseplay in my DMs (yes)

But even when there is communication and... a roadmap, It's not followed nor executed as promised. That's where frustration really grows for people who still play. I'm here as a spectator but I think its common sense that people don't like being edged on developments. Not sure what a community meeting would even do at this point. If the main concern is development for the majority of players, that was addressed months ago with a roadmap being the solution. We saw where that went. And before the roadmap, a poll was released in-game to see where the players would like to see development be at. We also saw where that went.

+1 Yea I would have to agree. After messaging several moderators, Lewis, and Aldarine - it wasn’t until Silky was able to give me a name. I had gotten zero heads up or notice. I can acknowledge I was being harsh and sarcastic, but that is not against the above rules.

From someone who is one-of-two people who makes decisions on how hard to push crims and how much force is deployed from SED's perspective, we cater how much metal we bring out depending on your actions. We are reactionary. For insight, we have already tapered back our use of our own MG MKIIs since we are seeing less of them now. If we are being gunned down off traffic stops with MG MKIIs with crims wearing body armor, I am mandating a gunship to be in circulation at all times with an armor piercing MKII on the side and all operators are to be fully geared. If you want to shoot at cops for sport, you should be ready for pushback. You cannot even really reference "Oh in IRL, Swat wouldnt shoot from helicopters" - well yea, but criminals are also not rolling around in body armor with light machine guns in downtown LA. The thing with these threads that make me laugh is that its always the same thing. LEO has unlimited resources. LEO has "200" ap. LEO has blah blah blah. Unless you have played LEO, you will not see how many times we lose: Getting shot, killed and wiped Losing the same meta car several times since we do not have a car that can keep up with said meta cars - the helicopter has a 50/50 chance of keeping up with it on straights. Player begins to go swimming and we lose sight of him This list can go on and on and on I have said this multiple times and I am talking to a brick wall at this point, but maybe if crims played their "gang banging" character more like a thug and not a militarstic rebel, you would not see as extreme measures taken on you and your gang. I am not saying LEO is a perfect breed, but if it takes the crim community to take at least a little bit of accountability, then I am afraid that we will never see the light of day where a mutual understanding is had.

A few things to note for the overall transparency of this thread, from the perpsective of a staff member that plays LEO but has played crim in the past - your forewarning, I am not responding to comments or participating in any discussion going past this, but I feel it is necessary that alot of frustrations be put into perspective: The current system for charges is amazingly more adaptive than what it used to be, here is a breakdown. Criminals complained about high costs everywhere Jail fines were heavily reduced to assist crims in not being essentially wiped of financial assets if they caught themselves in a heavy situation. Some people being fined upwards of $150-200k. This simply does not happen anymore. The cost to import guns is laughable from what it use to be. And it shows. Ask any LEO player or crim for that matter, the criminal side of RP is a militia. There is absolutely no reason criminals should be running around like Operation Desert Storm. Multiple "gang members" running around with combat MKII's with body armor is something you would NEVER see in previous times - it now happens daily. Conclusion: The server has drastically tried pivoting towards abiding by what criminals wanted forever, lesser charges and cheaper ways of living. It did so, but nothing is ever enough. You are here to RP, this is not Solar, if you decide to go on a rampage with your militaristic weaponry, you will unforutantely need to take accountability for your actions. In the same motion, charges held less jail time, even more if you had VIP. Jail times have also taken reductions when compared to previous times. The people complaining about long jail times are the ones who: (A) Have an amazingly long record of shooting at cops or being a violent criminal. If you have a record, you typically will get a less lenient treatment when charges are applied. (B) Think that every situation has to be a John Wick film. YOU decided to evade, YOU decided to roll with 2 (sometimes 3 for some reason?) class of weapons, YOU decided to roll around with body armor, YOU decided to have blunts in your pocket, YOU decided to wear a mask, YOU decided to organize a 15 man ambush, YOU decided to run out of your car and try to get away after your crash. YOU choose what YOU do, not me, if youre worried about prison times, YOU can maybe not go so batshit crazy everytime you interact with LEO. (C) Or you are just an agitator. It is free will for you to be an ass on a scene. Sure, if you want to carry that out, no one is stopping you. But truth be told, if you're being not-so-nice and making things more difficult, you may get additional charges that werent applied before. Maybe you didn't get face concealment and unlawful assembly, but a shrewd comment may be the difference that changes the mind of someone on scene. Easy as that. "We sit on scenes for 20 minutes before ever going to DOC" Scenes are tied up as fast as they can be. But you fail to realize that every situation has a triage of responsibilities. Medical treatment, getting cars taken care of, making sure the right charges are placed and to ensure you are not being under/over charged. We are an RP server, my job is not to speedrun your path to DOC. Its not. I have things that I need to figure out and confirm before you leave the scene, I am often working with 15-20 (sometimes a lot more in really large scenes) SD/PD/MD/DOC members to ensure everything is tightended up. Conclusion: I understand the times may seem long, but they are very short when compared to what they use to be. I actually find VIP to be too forgiving - you can go and murder 30 cops, have 5 MG MKIIs on you, have 30 grams of coke on you, evade, torture 3 goverment employees and all be left with a 180 minute sentence. As someone said, you cross a line where it doesnt matter anymore - we have seen it already, it contributes and promotes criminals wanting to shoot more since they dont have much to lose. I dont disagree with everything said here, my closing remarks I think that some charges could be reworked. Such as evading for example. I would not argue that 30 minutes is too minor. Other charges, none that I will list, could be switched to a citation or lesser weighted time. But the scale must balance out, I think if there were to be changes in decreasing times, there needs to be equal counter-weight in other areas. Such as, and crims do not crucify me here, I do not think murder charges should be affected by VIP status - there needs to be a risk of setting up an ambush. It happens multiple times a night, there is no risk because a large part of the populous is shielded by VIP reductions. As I said, I am not responding to replies. I just wanted to provide some of my own perspective and ideas. I am not saying this thread is objectiviely wrong, but we have already made improvements to how the system works.

I +1 this thread - cigarette usage is up 3400% after I told everyone in the Sheriff's Department about the health benefits of smoking cigarettes!

OPERATION KUTTE THROAT

I believe this would make a healthier environment for the server. There is absolutely no background or “RP reason” to partake in rape RP. Consensual ERP is obviously a different story. But personally knowing people who are victims of SA and having both a mother and sister, I just don’t see any reason or benefit to allowing that type of worry into the space they spend their free time (IE for this conversation, ECRP). We play on this server for fun, and we play on this server with a hugely diverse crowd with so many backgrounds and experiences. If we consider race and sexuality in our rules, we should also consider traumatizing experiences such as SA/rape.
