My main interaction with the mechanics is when some special little snowflake gets injured. Seriously what happens down there that so many people need rushing to the hospital? The only time I required a mechanic is to upgrade my gorgeous little pink Faggio. I spent around $150k and the two gentlemen who served me were polite, hard-working and a good laugh. I'm not sure they took my Faggio seriously but they were good lads nonetheless. Here's hoping you get what you want from this. If anyone wants to chain themselves together at the entrance for a protest, I'm in, however I may have to legally disclose something if that's the case.

FiveM which uses AI cannot go above 24 players yet, they are working on an update to take them in the 30s. Whilst it's good for the streamers who want a story to stream to their followers, it's not something we can do without having a lot less people online.

Boys, Dota 2's compendium is out. Who in EU wants to group up for that IO Arcana?

No.

My idea; Server 1 (Public): 100 slots, prove yourself, testing server for all updates, still keep it admin'd, English and use light-medium rp. Server 2 (white-listed): 200 slots, medium-heavy RP, failure to break rules risks having to play on server 1, all English and we know everyone on there wants to RP. Role-play on this server with the amount of tools we have is just getting worse each day. At least if people crash they should get out, role-play and call for a mechanic. Literally have not seen a single person do that yet.

We were waiting for the server to restart so a few of us had the idea to riot in the police station in a very peculiar way. [media] [/media]

Comes up with "[iNFO]: Please wait 0 minutes before calling 911 again."

How long do you wait after pressing 'Y' ? When I was trucking sometimes I noticed if I press 'Y' and wait up to 5 seconds it will show.

1. Did you experience an increase or decrease (or no difference) in FPS?: Good constant 50+ so far 2. Are you crashing more or less (or no difference) in GT:MP than you were crashing in GTA:N?: Same amount 3. Are you having desync issues more or less (or no difference) in GT:MP than you were having in GTA:N?: No different but some different ones too, including a lot of [no voice] markers floating around an inch off the floor (some examples - see videos) 4. Are there any more performance differences between GT:MP and GTA:N you'd like to point out? No Okay so my first video is how medic stabilizing works now (I know it was updated between GTA:N and GTMP so I wanted to show you incase it isn't how you intended it to be): [media] [/media] Next is some desync issues with punching and also the animations (including some bugs we managed to recreate): [media] [/media]

You did from the money transport and fishing, it all goes to salary which you pick up at the Bank Los Santa when its open each day.

What shows when you type /salary ?

I would like to speak to one of the editors about a potential story for their next article.

Basically, it's been said that until VOIP is fixed completely and working then the RP won't be to the standard it will be then. Which is understandable. However people trying to role-play things like being in the back of a car and going "/me stabs the driver in the side of the neck with a knife" when you can't actually attack from the back of the car and you don't actually have a knife is where people take RP too far. Same as someone RPing that your hands are tied behind your back when civs don't actually have zipties. That is giving yourself an advantage over nothing you can see in-game. However, things like "/me removes mans phone from his pocket and keeps it in his own pocket" is allowed so you don't use the /911 feature or /pm feature to get help. Even though phones don't technically exist yet, those functions are in the game and we say it's from a phone. Unfortunately I am more voice-RP than text-RP and I do not agree with /do commands so I avoid them at all costs and when cops use the commands to ask civs if they are going to fight the handcuffs going on, it's not how I have role-played with anyone on any server before and I do not like it so I do not fight any of it and not sure how you can make it better RP unless you can spam 2 buttons and the cuffs have a chance of coming loose? (Or maybe zip-ties can break but handcuffs are always 100% staying on) However if you like it, go ahead and do it.

You know what I'm done with this. Now before any douche on their high-horse thinks I've been asked to make this post, no, I'm just not spending my free-time online arguing with a bunch of people I don't know and waste my time arguing over a game. Now, was this post aimed at cops? Yes. Should it have been? No, I could have made it neutral. Why was it? Well dick vane told me I wasn't involved in a situation I had an opinion on so I shouldn't post, and rightfully so as I didn't read the rules of "report a player" forum, so I made this thread and named it as such so that he would see it and know I was giving my opinion and a suggestion on how to make sure that certain report happens again. Now, like I said it's not aimed at cops, how about imagining people going after someone for the fact they saw their name in a shoot-out/gang war etc (I know not all gangs have their own colours) so I thought as a way to not be targeted and to also make people sure they kill the right person that the removal of names would be good. Also would make good RP, as imagine they mistake the person for the member of another gang and in doing so they kill a member of another gang and end up in a gang war with 2 people? Does it happen RL? Yeah. Would it be fun to see happen? Yeah. I'm going to ask @nobodyltu or any of the admin team to just lock this stupid thread as a discussion has turned into the wrong sort of debate, its heated and it's pathetic.

Like you, I don't have time for this shit in the morning but I'll respond properly later. Again, THIS IS A SUGGESTION! Fuck the "false" reports with no evidence, this is merely a SUGGESTION that can stop future meta-gaming as yes it can and will possibly happen. Also the 5k comment for a mask, oh yeah let's expect everyone to get 5k out, go get a mask, every time the server crashes and hope to avoid a cop every time. Also not everyone can afford to donate the the servers they play on, but you seem like you'd hold them at a lower standard than yourself. And regards to the RL los santos police. In no way is this in regards to what they can and can't do, this is merely a SUGGESTION about using what we have in-game AND what works AND not only that BUT we agree it SHOULD be a higher level of RP on the server? Great.. but we need to AGREE that is is NOT yet, people class this as light-rp right now and you're trying to make it HEAVY RP by talking about what they can do RL, I am not. Taking me for example, as a medic Id have more training than CPR in RL, HOWEVER, this game only gives me CPR, AND it alerts to everyone that I'm giving CPR so what do I do when it's just someone who RPs shattered legs? I RP the fuck out of why I'd be giving CPR and use what I'm given to work around it, not going "well in RL we can do this this and this and so I'm going to pretend for my advantage" (again not saying a medic has an advantage because you seem to forget we are talking about in-game tools and not what it's fucking based on. I said I'd keep it short but fuck it, I'll probably respond later when I'm at the computer but I honestly don't know if I want to carry this on with you oh fucking high and mighty dick vane.

You lot from SA:MP always act like that is the ONLY way it has been done. How about you watch this video and tell me how bad that RP is.. [media] [/media] You think you can destroy this thread and any other thread that disagrees with you but welcome to the SUGGESTION part of the forums.. No one is going to get it 100% right.. its about suggestions and then we agree or disagree to implement it. So how about you get down off your self-moulded throne, say no and fuck off.

Someone certainly isn't reading all the posts about /permission for people to see your names and have you not seen any of the many fucking streamers who RP this shit perfectly with no names until someone speaks? Obviously you are set in your ways and can't see how anything can be done differently except how you like it.

AHAHAHAHA that would honestly be incredible. Change their faces and clothing(inc. colours). You'd honestly not know they didn't join a different gang anyway but if I saw that I would actually cry with laughter, that would be some absolute funny shit.

Really? This didn't have to go this way Giovanni. Just casual discussion about what everyone agrees is acceptable to use in RP, we get it, you know your RL shit, we don't have to talk about what's in real police cars in America and the names for it all, surely?

((These need to have a PRESS hoodie/jacket to stand out and they can ask permissions to the crime-scenes for pictures and statements. Great work, knew this was a good idea! Glad you did what you said.))

Can I ask that the police put out a statement of probable cause, just one that we can agree on so there's no question on meta gaming with the name showing? (This is one I took from my old Arma 3 Altis Life server so obviously it won't be exactly the same) - ALSO I understand the police force may have one already but could you make it public so we can all get on the same wavelength, agree and any disputes from now on will be brought to the forums and if it breaks any agreed upon procedures then people can take action. (again, this isn't just at the police, we are going to have a huge influx of this sort of thing when the criminal update is out) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dZjhovHu16FNYtNgGfzyDfNaHtDGit2ZLUJYiDFlp5M/edit?usp=sharing << full document here if you care to do something like it Probable Cause The following is a guide to assist in determining Probable Cause. -Direct Witness If you personally witness a crime, then you are allowed by law to restrain the individual(s) and charge them accordingly, be it with a verbal warning, ticket, or jail time. -Eye Witness If a civilian provides intel of a crime, it is often very difficult to determine the legitimacy of such claim. Therefore, gather as much evidence as possible, and move forward. (IE: 911 Call comes in about a Red SUV traveling well over speed limits on the highway near the airport. If you see such a vehicle with said description, it is enough to pull them over and question the subject. (This does NOT give you probable cause to search the vehicle.)) -Relayed Witness A relayed witness is simply another officer giving you his first hand information on a crime and/or suspect. Proceed with Direct Witness Procedure at this point. Probable Cause -Seeing a person(s) or vehicle(s) in an illegal area. -Seeing a crime committed, or a seeing a civilian that is on the wanted list. -Individual(s) having illegal weapons/vehicles. -Suspect(s) evading arrest. NOT Probable Cause The following are examples of something that is NOT Probable Cause. -You see a truck on a highway, it is NOT probable cause. -You see a vehicle NEAR an illegal area, it is NOT probable cause. -You are told someone is doing something illegal by a civilian, this is NOT probable cause. -You see a civilian across the street from cocaine processor, is NOT probable cause.(They actually have to be in the building). Grey Areas Unfortunately, this comes with the game, and must be treated with legit role-play. For example, you see a vehicle on a road to/from an illegal area, it is not means for probable cause. HOWEVER, you may pull them over, and question them. You may ask to search them or the vehicle, if they give their consent, you may search their vehicle. If they refuse, you are not allowed to search. If you do NOT have probable cause, you need the civilians consent before you can search. If you are ever unsure as to whether or not you have probable cause, ask a senior officer. If one is unavailable and you cannot get a definitive answer, assume you don’t have probable cause to search. It’s better for one criminal to get away, than for officers to overstep their bounds and violate the rights of the citizens of Altis.

Sorry I apologise for not being clearer as we mentioned it on Discord. Yes to getting rid of names, but you would still have the players ID on them so you can /report etc and the admins can still see who it is/was

I mean yeah you should pull over if a cop requests you too, but like RL you can also turn it into a high-speed pursuit. Nothing will happen to you except a bigger fine and a longer prison sentence. I agree names should be hidden unless given permission to see so they can't just request to see the ID of the person in question on the street (even though a lot of people aren't a fan of it) and then they want to RP that they had plastic surgery, changed their clothes and maybe had a sex-change (how are the police going to accept that you just did it when you could be faking it to get out of the warrant every time you are approached - not like you can admit to having plastic surgery because you are just admitting it was you but you shouldn't be able to know it was them - also you can't accept one person having plastic surgery because they RPd it better than another person who tried to RP it and you don't think they did a good enough job). The police should only be allowed to ask for ID with due process i.e. see you do something illegal, get out the vehicle in question or someone has just called 911 on you for something you've just done and given your description to the police. All that needs to happen is that we, as a server, agree on what the police can and can't use (not just the police, this is going to end up being done for every group at some point - remember its early days on a newly created mod). Do we stick with what the police have on their system? The name of the person, outstanding warrants/tickets, the license plate and that's it? Then if someone gives a description of said person to the police (id stick with clothes, skin colour and hair colour) they can use that to ID a suspect on the streets but if the descriptions don't match, but they see the names then the police to not have due process to question you out on the street to see your ID (obviously this goes if we keep names showing). Don't forget fake ID's aren't in the game so I don't agree we should be RP'ing giving fake IDs Or do we say that the police can view extra stuff on the system where they can see the name of the person, outstanding warrants/tickets, the license plate, a picture of the suspect (clothes won't matter if you change them and yes I understand RL the DMV has a picture and so does your license but to use it against someone IG when you don't actually have it on-screen is completely different level of RP that's what we need to agree on), fingerprints (was mentioned in discord so do police want to RP that they have fingerprints on murder weapons etc? - this could be role-played against a lot of people so they can't RP and get out of a ticket that they wouldn't have gone if they just left, again all this has to be agreed). Don't forget if you get arrested a lot, here's looking at Billy Biggs (or was it Ethan Briggs), the cops will end up knowing your name very well and what you look like (again, could argue the plastic surgery - maybe just get rid of plastic surgery once we get a better character creation and all get a free change? or just get rid of it until then). This literally is about what we agree we categorise as due process to be asked for ID, searched etc. (this isn't a completely correct comparison, just relating to the same groups and adding RP to what isn't in-game) Just think of it this way, if it was the other way around, would you accept RPing tying a cops hands behind his backs when civs don't get zip-ties nor can they take handcuffs off a cop, as a way to overpower a cop? Or would you just have the pistol to his head and wether or not he reacts and risks his life is up to him.

God I miss SWG The Emu servers aren't the same. CS:GO, PUBG, Fallout 4, Left 4 Dead 1&2 (if anyone has this on xbox and wants to do them all on expert, hit me up), Witcher 2, jesus too many games really, and a shit load of mobile games.
