An idea that was floated by my faction during our latest meeting with handlers that I believe would be an interesting addition and create a lot more roleplay opportunities for people would be if a system was implemented to make the upcoming criminal faction exclusive clothing be only available to the faction who it belongs to, now hear me out... I know in the past a kind of faction locker has been suggested but I believe it would be unfair to be able to just spawn your clothes when the rest of the server who aren't in GOV factions wouldn't have this ability. However to counter this one of the three options could be implemented; A faction locker not quite as I just mentioned but it's kinda like a store interface so only the faction tied to it could use it and would be able to purchase their own branded clothing that way they'd still be paying like regular civilians would but only that faction could purchase their own clothing. An NPC attached to your turf could have this same effect, selling the clothes but exclusively only your own factions gear again at a cost (figured this might be easier script wise but idk) Or finally available on import with the black market again only specific to the faction (Lost can import Lost clothing, Rooks... Rook clothing, you get my point. Anyway the reason I'm suggesting this and I believe it can bring further RP is laying a claim to your factions clothing in a more personal sense, in terms of the Lost it makes 0 sense that any random can just go buy a Lost branded kutte at any clothing store, they'd be custom made and stitched, same can be said for every gangs apparel. Now where I think this makes it more personal is if you're the only one able to purchase your own factions clothing, then if you find someone wearing it, or someone bragging about having for example a Lost MC kutte, you'd know that they've robbed/killed a member of your faction to acquire such an item. Faction clothing could almost be viewed as trophies in a sense in that regard, and could lead to more RP scenarios where you'd be inclined to find a way to get that item of clothing back from someone who has wronged your members. Just a thought anyway, I personally believe it makes way more sense than a random new player on a city bee repping any gangs clothing (when the clothing update inevitably hits the shelves)

You're in my thoughts mate, stay positive! Always had good interactions with you and you're a good lad, sending my love to you and your family!

There has definitely been a few in recent times, I won't name names but I know for a FACT there has been more than one.

I have to admit the amount of LEO players on here saying how it isn't about W's or L's it's about the RP is pretty laughable considering the vast amount of resources they have to basically ensure a W most times, not to mention the map changes over the years to soley accomodate LEO's taking less L's for example the recent swimming rule because they don't wanna lose you in a chase or when they blocked off the train tunnels and bridges around paleto and señora freeway areas to avoid people losing them via those means during pursuits. The server scripts, rule changes and map updates has been edging more and more in LEO favour over the years than anything that would benefit crims in a Crim Vs LEO situation.

I will partially agree with you on this, sure it doesn't make sense for hardened criminals to make IA reports, unfortunately though it's the only way LEO's can be held accountable on both and IC and OOC level for wrongdoings towards criminals. Sure you could kill them but it achieves nothing really.

-1 this basically says, please take away the only IC accountability that we have so I can do what I want with no consequences.

BRO THE LOST CLUB HOUSE LOOKS FUCKIN DOPE

+1 on all of this Any -1's probably want people stood at the dealer selling their packs individually so there's more chance to rob players selling lmao. Think all of these are sensible suggestions honestly.

Keep up the good work guys!

Pretty self explanatory, allow us to be able to store items into a safe when it exceeds the player inventory volume of 50, for example a crate that might have 60 weight, be able to pick it up and store it into a safe or toolbox or whatever storage you may have within a property.

The way labs are now is ideal, promotes more activity and more RP between groups, sure it results in fights from time to time, it's the nature of the beast. How it was before consisted of 200 people on the server, 60% of them hold up in their properties churning out money, if anything promotes "clap culture" it's allowing players to make millions hold up in their houses watching netflix and passively cooking, then using said millions to buy an arsenal and rolling around looking for fights. In my opinion everything is fine the way it is now!

Nice! Good luck!

With all due respect, this is the dumbest response thus far, "they said it to laugh at you" they said it at quite a distance, about a gang I have 0 affiliation to, I merely overheard it and to suggest it was said to laugh at me is in itself laughable! Nobody said anything about not being able to flip houses it's when they're being bought out of spite as a way to harass individuals, as we know that cops can't really just continuously circle/camp HQ's and stifle the RP of factions, without a good reason to be there, as someone who has Criminal and an LEO character I know this and buying a property there is an attempt to circumvent this. Once again you're taking my context as the entire problem, as stated it's merely an example, same reason with Stab City being an example, a millionaire cop ain't gunna live in a trailer park occupied by a motorcycle club both RPly and lorewise, it just doesn't make sense, there are several other examples that could be made but you're nitpicking a specific when I'm generalizing the problem as a whole.

I ain't associated with mandem, I made it an example as I heard 2 cops talking in the distance where one mentioned buying mandem block properties and the reasoning being "because they found it funny and it pissed off Mandem" I'm just giving broad examples.

Now I'm sure this has been brought up before but I'm going to bring it up using my own experiences, in the past as an example a member of SD bought a property in Stab City, which at the time was the HQ and primary base of operations for the Lost MC faction, it is of course once again however I digress, this forced a move into the motel which had presented it's own issues over a long spanning period of time, the move was forced with the increased presence of SD in stab as they then had a reason in their own mind to come into stab and sit around as he was sitting "at his house" now this problem was alleviated and is no longer a prominent issue. However in a situation I had myself ICly with some members of PD a month or so ago, who won't be named to avoid any kind of toxicity in their direction, but as I was being arrested they were talking amongst themselves, and one of the officers openly said "during the auctions I bought some properties on the Mandem block" (otherwise known as pink cage) and got into a conversation with their peer laughing jokingly openly stating "I did it because it's funny" which in my opinion is an awful stance on the situation and mindset. In short it makes no RP sense for any type of LEO to be buying property in a gang HQ or a high crime area, doing so out of spite is ruining roleplay experiences as a whole and unless it becomes addressed in the rules it's going to continue being a prominent problem stifling the roleplay of factions.

Holy smokes man! This is epic!
