RICO shouldn't, and doesn't, need to return because, as others have said, it is simply too broad and powerful. This was the reason it was removed in the first place (among other issues with the FBI at the time). Instead, there should be systems or processes added to place that supplement the OOC rules to verify the integrity and reliability of evidence so that the hard work detectives do don't get voided at the last minute because of suspected metagame or powergame. Good place to start may be verifying with UA, before thorough investigations begin, that a certain confidential informant is actually a long-term player that would have realistic knowledge of a faction's high command identity/activities instead of an ordinary member with a mere grudge, or a new member with no knowledge of what they're really doing.

It's almost Christmas If you get banned again I'm auto denying your appeal. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.

I like this idea Also /togglesnowball exists

I get what you're saying, my initial opinion was that the snowball as an item is entirely stupid to have. It messes with my autism of having too much shit equipped and it's basically just a minge item. BUT i am also of the opinion that since we do have to live with it, and it's not going anyway for the rest of the month, might as well improv on the concept.

mr sunshine over here

Hell no. People are already crude, cruel, and childish with the snowball throwing. This would further ruin and devolve RP, as I’m sure you can imagine the type of dumb things people would say once you’re covered in snow or hit in the face. Last year, we already had to deal with people hotkeying /me of filling their snowballs with shit, piss, and cum before throwing them. Peak roleplay.

looking at the clip by the time the offender was shot there was exactly 10 second delay before the offender decides to shoot back which imo is way too long to make the "he shot me first!!" excuse, you gotta commit to it right away if youre gonna do it not wait for the right moment its very clear youre waiting/aiming up a line up waiting in those 10 seconds from your pov you even immediately duck down into the water after shooting you knew 100% what you were doing if you have 5+ cops aiming guns at you even if one did shoot at you in what world would the criminal wait a bit then decide to pull a gun on 5+ cops aiming guns at them its pure suicide and -200 IQ thinking which doesn't make sense RP wise obvs im not involved but theres needs to be clarity on the "cop shooting you" rules and the limits around it imo as i feel cases like these the rules are manipulated to get out of a situation in which they 100% wouldve been dealt consequences naturally also you legit admitted to cop baiting which lead to the incident in this thread so im sure the character was a throw away anyways

Also not involved but doesn't he get shot at first?

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Not involved in this pk at all but that was a fairly obvious attempt to shoot a cop You failed and died What more is there to say

Approaching 1 year banned…

Two wrongs dont make a right on that one imo the standard should be raised on both sides of the equation and equally if one side is going to get buffed the other side needs something too. Like I had suggested, adding the ability for faction leadership to reign in who can access what would be huge. Faction leaders also already do have access to many tools needed to prevent the building of these cases like using middlemen (see Vinny Lucchese using Vincent Lucchese as the legal front man for his faction, that is exemplary work since Vincent doesn't do crimes but is still active) and keeping operational separation from himself and the lower rung doing crimes. Much qualms as I have with Lucchese as a faction, they are an example of good opsec. Of course there may be people in the factioon that break the opsec by bank sharing or using banks at all for storage but like individual catches are nowhere even remotely close enough to fully build a RICO case. These cases need you to do a long line of serious fuckups and not policing information (yapping to the lower people about sensitive shit). TL;DR there is SO MUCH you can do to prevent these crimes from working out. They only work out when you get really sloppy. If one lower level person is able to cause a significant enough level of damage to build this kind of case, you might need to look back at all the places leadership went wrong. Yeah I can imagine though that was a time in diverge I'm not so quick to want to return to. Keeping RICO exclusive to a very small group, having a very high bar as far as what you need to accomplish to make it work, and even maybe a requirement for UA approval before using the mechanisms could balance out those concerns. UA gets involved even in detective operations fairly often from what I've gathered and experienced. I wouldn't personally mind them being involved in when the lever is allowed to be pulled. Mind, even them granting the okay to go through with the execution does not automatically win the case either it still needs to go to court AND be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. With all the above in mind, I think we might be able to craft a new system with accountability and safety measures put in place to prevent abuse.

fbi and rico was the most corrupt shit known to man, sure they may of had good takedowns but it was 100% always their specific targets as the victims.

Do you support Israel?

I'm not giving That fucking British Kyke 200 dollars, He loves me @Pendred

+1 he’s just a chill guy

This is the only thing that can be taken from this suggestion. PD doesn't need more buffs, if you're bothered by the balance of the game look to nerf the other end of the stick (i.e how easy it is to make money illegally and such). You got people putting hours upon hours on the server, contributing in RP and trying to get a spot. Police have the ability to, and some do, minge all of that away with very little repercussions. Police stop you for anything, they will get your ID, god forbid you were carrying anything you shouldn't be carrying or you don't want to be identified. At the very least you're looking at either time or having to dispute BS, at the worst say bye bye to all those hours cause this cop with 4 days playtime felt like stopping you. TL;DR Crim factions have way more to lose compared to PD faction as is, no need to tip the balance further.

+1 Id give a guy a chance

aren't you like the child in special unit in NYPD

nigga you got raped in gcs roleplay
