Hello! As already explained to you, item transfer will always result in a ban and a PK. It is very easily tracked by us. Due to your admitted dishonesty on this appeal, it will be denied outright and you will face no reduction. 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.

That's what happened in Bruno lol

i mean it gets to a point when each faction has 20+ zips. i agree it should be tied to playtime, avoids hits being done by ‘flown in shooters’ and assures there is an actual risk during your hit!

Do these guys just not know what a search warrant on a property is?

Me when a zip kills me and my friends

I think restricting Pks / Mugging to Char Playtime would be very nice. However I disagree with the idea of it being your main character only, as I and other people like to have characters in different factions and contribute to more than one roleplay at a time. If I'm promoting good RP I don't see why I'd have to break character when given orders to say 'This isn't my main character'(s) etc, even if it's in terms of ooc messaging, as it immediately kills the roleplay in that scenario I mean, imagine. There's an intern minging and you go to someone to give them orders, you roleplay it out. Follow all the rules and all the guidelines, only to learn that they infact, can't do anything for you. Because their main character is elsewhere, it immediately ruins all that roleplay leading up to the scenario However. Being forced to have 1 Week or 2 in Char Playtime would be nice in my opinion, to limit the ZIPS Who have no RP Backstory / RP in the server. If this were implemented of course.

That is quite literally a zip, Im not entirely sure how much you know about the mafia but zips that carry out hits DONT stay around to get caught, they more than likely never return. Their whole purpose is to be an unknown, they have no records or finger prints and that is for a reason, so the family they just killed for doesn’t A. Get tied to the murder or B. Get caught doing the murder. It’s fairly simple to comprehend, in my opinion there isn’t many ways you can spin a suggestion to make zips sound like a bad idea

Just want to add the room was seized! This is more proof that this was all allowed and within the rules! The warrant was for the location I also want to add! You also willingly opened fire on cops like it was said before.

Good point and thank you for the reference, however, in real life those individuals were still part of the organization or directly tied to it, and there were real consequences if something went wrong. On the server, however, what often happens is players use disposable characters whose only purpose is to log in, PK someone, and then disappear for weeks or switch back to another faction’s character.

That could very well be a good alternative to my original suggestion. What I’m suggesting would apply to everyone. Even if you are PK’ing an associate or an intern, the person doing it should still be taking some risk themselves. As an enforcer or senior member, it shouldn’t just be outsourced to a random player who mainly plays a different faction, logs on to kill someone, and then immediately switches back to their main character.

The warrant was signed, and you have probably seen it too, nice try tho! How's ur room btw

Btw +1s don’t mean shit on less it is from season adm plus

If you're gonna pk someone's (potential) main, you ought to have the same amount of skin in the game.

I feel like instead of it being Main locked it should be a minimum amount of char play time. Locking it to main would suck for those that don’t get to enjoy those mechanics or certain types of rp that they may not be able to do on their mains. Having a minimum amount of play time on a char would force individuals that try to abuse to actively put effort into their char and that faction.

-1 The real life Mafia had expendable men from all around the world depending on the race of the crime syndicate. Like for Italians they had zips from Italy come to America to murder somebody for them if they didn't want to risk their own men getting pinched or whacked, take The Tailors from the Sopranos for an example they were zips brought from Italy to be hitmen , when the war between the two families was happening they sent an Asian zip to go take care of a guy. It's just part of the roleplay and I honestly think taking away that aspect of the Italian Mafia it closes a lot of doors. I can see where you're coming from on this but it really doesn't make a difference in the long run because at the end of the day somebodies dying.

As many of you may already be aware, there has been a noticeable influx of “hitman” characters among various factions on the server. I would like to suggest that players should only be allowed to PK someone within a faction if the character performing the PK is set as their Main Character. The intention behind this proposal is to discourage players from freely cycling through disposable characters or creating new ones solely for the purpose of PK’ing others. When characters are treated as expendable tools, it undermines the risk and consequences that PK is meant to carry. Currently, some of these hitman characters do not even bother to pick up their own bullet casings or take basic precautions, because there is little to no fear of losing the character if they are identified or killed in the process. This ultimately weakens the purpose of Counter-PK mechanics, as the individual carrying out the hit has no meaningful attachment to the character being used. Requiring PK actions to be carried out only by a player’s Main Character would restore a sense of risk and accountability, ensuring that those involved have something meaningful at stake. For clarity, this rule should only apply to faction-related PKs. It would not apply to fail-mug situations or other forms of PK outside of faction conflicts.

Police cannot raid without a warrant. A Judge/DA must sign this warrant. -Exceptions apply if they have witnessed a severe felony, or someone is in distress, then they may use probable cause beyond a reasonable doubt to raid. -A report of a potential crime isn’t enough to warrant an armed police raid unless Officers obtain evidence of a crime or life threatening situation is occurring on the residence. -An anonymous tip, or a tip of any sorts does not warrant a raid. You need to get a warrant before entering any property unless you have directly observed a crime happening. oh freaky fab...

"That may be so." Just curious if corruption rules are applicable for cops still, the warrant is invalid due to them both being arrested prior. So basically your directly acknowledging the fact that the warrants were infact invalid, and still decided to raid the room.

Yeah I agree with that. If someone is actively lockpicking a car in front of the owner they’re obviously putting themselves at risk. Most of the time though I imagine this happening when the owner isn’t around and the car is just parked somewhere, which is why I was thinking more about the longer process after the car is stolen (tracker removal, stripping parts, etc).

NEVER TOO MUCH NEVER TOO MUCH

That may be so, but that should be legal RP through the courts, but you decided to open fire on two cops, which means you don't have that option. Be free from gmod!

Hi. Unless these "multiple people" have a warrant as well then the search warrant (only naming Antonio DeCavalcante and Calogero Capone) should not apply as both parties have been arrested (shock!) and are on bail, making the search warrant no longer valid. Thanks for the reply!

Hi. ESU is a specialist branch, nothing about ESU is "standard". The point I am making is that if the first thing I saw was a royal blue outfit I wouldn't have shot at the officers. Here is a helpful Diagram I made to show where I was looking during this confrontation: As you can see in the 3 second confrontation the standard blue officer was never where my attention was, it was naturally focused on the guy with a gun rushing into my apt. I wasn't looking at the names I was trying (and failing) to put my crosshairs on target. The Don sends his retards... Nice aspect ratio man! Thanks for the reply!

Hey patrol cop here! As the guy who wrote most of the search warrants, we made it clear to the judge, that multiple people had been using the apartment you died in. Shock! So no we were not only looking for Antonio DeCav

Hi. As stated in my original post, the warrant was for Antonio DeCavalcante, a man who has already been arrested since the warrant was issued. are you implying that a warrant is still valid after a person gets arrested and the conditions of the warrant are fulfilled? because if so then I guess the PD has several warrants for every property in the city at this point and should just start kicking doors down. Once Antonio was arrested the officers investigating the building should have been recalled and the raid should have not happened, hence the raid being invalid I opened fire on an unknown and armed person opening the door to my apartment when I was the only member of my faction online at the time. If Captain John Gordon would like to prevent the shooting of officers then it should stand to reason that he update the PD SOP to ban no-knock raids. Cops IRL rarely just kick a fucking door in for this exact reason and its nonsensical that this was an explicit instruction in the warrant. A lawful raid to catch an nigga that is already facing charges and is out on bail? the only reason that you would need to go looking for him now that he has been formerly charged is if he doesn't show up for his appointed court date. the warrant has been fulfilled and should no longer be valid. thanks for the reply!
