GR_Seb Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 Suggestion Hello my friends from Eclipse Roleplay, today I would like to suggest something that it's going to help everyone having to go to a station to pay a fine. PAY FROM YOUR PHONE. San Andreas Government loves technology. I am pretty sure adding a function on your BANK APP to pay fines or invoices will benefit everyone. Say that you're at the impound and you haven't paid a fine? You have to run to the station. Or say that you have been away, you log in and you get arrested for unpaid fines while you're on the way to pay them. I believe this inconvenience should stop and let us pay our fines from our phones. +1 if you like it! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikazuki Ueno Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 -1 While the technology makes sense, I believe anything that conditions people to not interact or move around the map to other places reduces engagement. It's not complicated or much of a struggle to just go out to the bank, ATMs or a law enforcement location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not entirely true. All of the recent updates seem to revolve around enticing the community to come together more and increase engagement, Burgershot is a prime example. But to roughly answer your question, you run into Mission Row with your mask, an Officer tells you to take it off - you already have a roleplay scenario, but the Officer walks out with you and sees you illegally parked your vehicle, they now have more reason to interact with you on both accounts, as an Officer, and as someone potentially seeking to expand their roleplay. The suggestion is fine, but the way you look at paying fines at Mission Row seems like a pitstop for the impound when to some players it's really not. I think players could have both options available. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are outside, moving from one place to another. Which creates opportunities for RP. Maybe they will be in an accident. Maybe they will come to someone's aid. At least they aren't just pressing a couple of buttons on their phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosby Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 -1 I can't speak for others, but if there is a officer at the desk I often interact with them/RP before or after paying my fines. This is a roleplay server and the more things like paying for your fines over the phone or releasing your own vehicle from impound because it is "annoying" removes another opportunity for good RP.

jason Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 While I do generally disagree with additions that detract from potential roleplay, this is a +1 from me. Paying fines is probably the least likely LEO related action I've done that results in RP or player interaction in any capacity, especially given the timezone I play in. To appease both sides, it could have a 1.2x cost multiplier to incentivize using the desk while not causing horrendous loss for doing it through the app instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR_Seb Posted June 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 I am not suggesting to disable paying fines from Mission Row, I am suggesting an extra method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps re-introducing the ability to pay fines with law enforcement officers. The only issue this bought was players running up to officers and using /payfine without any roleplay but this could easily be monitored by staff.

Harveyyy Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I agree with this suggestion. People that usually go to the impound every day, mainly criminals struggles with finding an officer to release their vehicle; sometimes it happens where after 20 minutes+ of waiting, the officer finally shows up, but then tells you there's an outstanding ticket that must be paid, you run back to mission row, spam /payfine 0 then run back to the impound to find the officer gone, which means more time of waiting, again. I don't see this negatively affecting the RP for PD/SD, it's just going to make things a little easier for criminals in some situations. This won't limit any RP / interactions for PD/SD, there will still be interactions at the impound, IF the players want to have them. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To counteract the abuse of this returning also, just make /payfine 0 require the LEO to respond to it, similar to /duoanim. Or another suggestion, just add a timer to the command to prevent people spamming /payfine 0 as they drive past a cruiser/cop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrina Candace Posted July 8, 2022 Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 +1 The way I see it, it's not going to affect RP. I've seen a couple of people paying their fines at LSPD lobby without even interacting to the Officer on the information desk. I agree that you should be able to do this via phone app as well. I'm supporting this idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiem Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 +1 I have been apart of the LSPD faction for over a year and can attest I have never seen anyone create RP opps when their sole purpose for coming to Mission Row was to pay tickets (other than them parking incorrectly or something along those lines and an officer taking 5 seconds to get after them to move their car). I don't see any impact to RP by implementing this. If there are those that are still concerned about impacting RP tho, at the very least, just add a spot to pay tickets directly at the impound lot booth. That will make everyone happier.

LucasMadrazo Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 +1 This is just realistic. I don't understand how someone couldn't agree. I've never had to mail a check, call a PD or visit one to pay a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
