Hi there. I just returned after a 3 year hiatus. The server definitely changed. There are forensics, more evidence stacked against criminals, and its easier for PD to convict criminals or catch them. Accessing bank accounts, IDing for something as petty and arbitary as a parking violation ect. And yet the only methods of money making for the most part are Oil, guns or a drug racket. And for a select few- selling donator clothes or cigars, or if you have a gambling license or an poker game. But yet, in the real world the Mafia really stayed away from drugs and they focused much more on white collar crimes. In the 1980s Michael Franzese was famous for his gas tax scam, making fake companies with fake names go bankrupt selling gas, using tax exemptions ect and collecting the cash meanwhile the federal government and gas corporations losing money and yet the end consumer buying cheaper gas. Lots of credit card frauds, or business fraud. As seen in sopranos Tony has that friend of his lose tons of money in a card game and the interest goes up to the point of the guy handing over his sporting goods store for leverage. The mob then starts maxing out their credit so the business declares bankruptcy. But tony gets fake/fraudulent plane tickets and other things under the guys name. I realize this example is complicated given how small the server is, but I would like this post to be an open forum for others with ideas of white collar crimes that dont involve drugs. But a way to fraud the State or City government from taxes with loopholes, or if there were contracted city roles like tow trucks or street cleaners that are run by mob controlled unions. Police request a tow of a vehicle, but if that person is high profile enough the union prevents the tow truck from towing a vehicle. Something like that. I know my ideas here are a bit scattered, but having an overhaul where Parking violations can have citizen or police call for a tow truck to impound a vehicle. The vehicle gets impounded, and the owner must go to city hall and pay a fine for the vehicle to be released. The longer they wait, the fine goes up each day. The city gets money from the player base, and then PD doesnt demand ID for parking violations because there is no criminal element. Its now only a civil matter. From an RP standpoint, players get a $$ figure amount for each vehicle they tow as a tow trucker driver. The cost of a tow is some sort of agreed upon fee between the leader of the tow truck faction and a union they are required to be a part of. The unions are run by the criminals, and the fee is split in half. Half of the tow fee goes to the truck driver, the other half goes to the union fund. The union uses this income to pay Union delegates ect. Or can be like Jimmy Hoffas teamsters Union Pension fund that was used to fund Las Vegas. Right now the server is too much Cops and Robbers. Either you are PD or a Government employee or you are a criminal. But having blue collar jobs like street cleaners, that are hired by the city, or by property owners to clean up garbage that can randomly spawn on a property or the street. Having tow truck drivers for the reasons explained. Union workers that represent Blue collar jobs. There should be a paramedic job as well and the union represents both EHS and PD. If the Union has control over a PD budget, now if they have a lower budget, there can be less PD members online at a given time. Bigger budget = more police ect. Then having a stock market, and having stock market broker jobs with a purpose of making money on behalf of all citizens. With an opportunity for stock manipulation and illegal stock market fraud. Like the stock market actually having an influence on what Oil will be priced at. And it can fluctuate. Sometimes prices will be low. Sometimes if you hold out they will be high.. I realize these are a lot of idea. Just trying to think outside the box of oil barrels and drugs for criminal money making methods.1 point

I know we're way closer to the 90s than we are the 80s, but video arcades were still fairly predominant up until consoles really took off in the early 2000s. We could add to the 80s theme by adding a video arcade whether it'd be public or a private racket / business. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1528767279 https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/arcade-machines-2-realistic-arcade-gaming Most of this stuff is public, will obviously need a lot of development to make it work with all the current systems, but if it's a private business license you can apply for, maybe there can be an unused building made for this kind of thing like an arcade. Either: A) It's public, and people can play and the way it'd work is after so much score, like let's say their final score is around 1000, this would give them a "100 ticket" item (could use the casino number plates if you wanted to, or create a custom ticket model, either or really) in their inventory. 10,000 score, "1000 tickets" etc, etc. They would then go to the vendor / npc in the building and sell them for real money like oil companies do with their barrels of oil. B) If it's a private business, it'd be the same thing but the family / business would be the only ones with access to the NPC and can sell tickets and give the person a large cut of however many tickets they gave them. (up to the business and / or the law however they want to make it work). EDIT: Instead of a ticket system you could also just utilize the coin exchange machine. Let the business set the price for coins and they can collect the cash the vendor generates. In the end, this could be very legit. People can do their VR chat RP in the arcade, shoot the shit while playing Galaga or some other game, while others who are more serious and want to continue conducting their illegal business and running their shipments don't have to hear "skibidi rizz" and "gmod" / other ooc terms every corner they take. This could isolate a lot of those people to the video arcade if done well and free up a lot of OOC traffic on the streets, while providing another potential legal way for businesses to make money. (I don't know if this is the correct addon I've linked above, but this is what I would guess the games would look like as the addon as well as this video was uploaded a long time ago).1 point

May have been suggested before but I think it would be good to include some sort of DVLA / Driving license system. I have a feeling that people will either agree entirely or disagree entirely. Here is my proposal: Similarly to the police test, you obtain a license by going through a form and getting a % correct Make it so that police can give you points for driving like a dickhead, get too many points and your license is revoked, driving without a license is a serious offence. . (You can't spawn a car without a license, but once you've obtained it, you can then still drive with a revoked license) To get your license put back in good standing you have to speak to the DVLA (sub dept of the gov) and pay for a driving test to prove your competence. PRO - Would stop a lot of VDM of people just joining factions, obtaining a car and running people over. - Create more driving RP, made men might rely on drivers more for example. - More fun, realistic RP. - Adds another way of reducing money on the economy - More RP for the low level police who will be able to do more traffic stops - New gov department will mean new RP and potentially a new legal way to make money - Less dickheadish driving - More of a risk of keeping illegal items in your car CON - Might not be popular to gatekeep driving as people like driving recklessly - Implementation might be difficult, or if implemented a lot of people will get caught by the changes as they aren't aware. - Might not be as fun as I think, may make the 'serious RP' a little too serious1 point

- ICly you went up to a Captain and demanded that he takes down your rings. Which including not paying dues which I mention more below is just complete disrespect and feels like you only wanna play that character and have no repercussions and yet still have some authority without actually playing and roleplaying. - Incorrect, I have asked why he was selling them. Chat logs prove that as I wasn't using my mic. -Simple thing for this even if you had been exempt from paying kickups from previous Management. The current one hasnt allowed this. Due to this and having over a year of not paying. You died. - Me not paying dues was decided upon as a conveniency for you. If that was the reason, I would've died long ago, received a warning, or been approached about it. a call was made to this and never disputed, therefore it's to be considered still valid and accepted. Please stop trying to create pointless arguments, it was okay with the kickups for years until today suddenly. Are all faction rules and decisions nullified when new management steps in? Was that ever announced? Ever communicated? No. Therefore I see the PK as invalid.1 point

Lying for the forums I see, so actually you know how I found you and let me tell everyone else here the real truth of the events that happened. So before his sitdown I was giving the orders to kill him by the character "coco" once given the orders I left went to prep and meet up with another hitman we then walked into the motel 10 mid sitdown to where empz and coco told us to leave and wait. Once waiting around 4 minutes empz and coco walked out the motel room 10 and hung around with us outside the motel for about 5 minutes while I tried to figure a spot to lure empz to kill we then walked over to the atm by the casino where I brought up gambling and said we should gamble empz still being RIGHT next to us the whole time me and the two others talked to the casino and as soon as we hit the corner I noticed empz was not following so I went around the corner to look and he was gone I then pressed the TAB menu seeing he has left or changed characters. FROM this point I played blackjack in the casino while waiting the TAB menu waiting for him to load back in the server once I noticed him in the tab menu I ran to his last location which is why in my clip you see me look at the atm area then I see him at the motel. I noticed empz as I had just been introduced to him and given him f3 and he has the same suit as the male outside the motel room seen in my clip.1 point

Hello Emp.... The reason you were pk'd was due to multiple reasons including: A. The way you went about your rings being sold by one of our capos. B. Your character hasnt paid any due fees in well over a year and the way you came onto that character and started trying to start a quarrel in the wrong way. C. Completely disrespecting a Captain in the middle of his store. now With this Discord use. In this screenshot it looks like You asked bullets to be added to his bank for "Drip purposes" Which we all know requires a charID I dont know how bullets is gonna pull a char id out of thin air. So him asking you to switch back to your character to get your char ID seems pretty fair to me. You asked to be added to the bank. He cant get your charID any other way....1 point

yeah it really does look like a fail mug. he snuck up to a player who looked afk and purposely didnt say a word to not get her attention, also he shot her while saying " dont move bitch". So if anything he was being confusing. Fail mug on his part and bad pk if you ask me. Im not a member of this faction but im commenting because a moderator doesnt want ppl to comment on a open forum where everyone has access to lol.1 point

It does suck to think that cops can just run into harmful fights and general situations without caring about their life even though the premise of PKs with the roleplay of your life on the server is "disregard for your own life/not valuing your life" and that would fall into such. However, the cops on the server end up in these harmful fights more frequently than a criminal character does and cops are typically the target of random harmful fights by minges or when they are initiated by an illegal offense by a criminal character -- it wouldn't be fair for them to be at risk for every harmful fight as they are frequent. The issue at hand is risk. The cops on the server already have a lot of PK power, it is to add risk to the criminals but what is adding risk to the cops? Just corruption and if they go undercover. I believe the only plausible argument could be a few-day hospitalization (temporary pk). Perhaps adding additional requirements if the temporary PK will apply if the situation involves the raid of a property alongside a warrant? So the frequent raids that do sometimes happen if probable cause is applied without a warrant having to be issued (this normally happens in the ghetto and the townhouses due to minges or sloppy criminals) wouldn't have a temporary PK applied as it simply wouldn't be fair because of the consistent frequency of that specific harmful fight. Some inspiration from HL2 Combine RP servers can be considered as those servers have it where you get banned/kicked off the combine character (a cop character) for a short period when you die.1 point

I mean, realistically you cant change your ethnicity, nor nationality considering everyone has a legal NYC ID card so youre technically a nationalised American. As much as its a good idea i'd -1 it as its not realistic and wouldn't serve much purpose, some things should stay permanent and shouldn't be changed. Unless its perhaps a one time change to potentially correct shit if youre char is too deep into the game but even then its what's the point - they dont serve much purpose at all aside from joining ethnic specific factions0 points

In the Diverge Content pack there is a list of props that you can use for your role play within the city. There is a section that has a cross. But for some reason the cross is not able to be spawned. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be able to be used during role play. I think it should be added in the game for the priest's and people who love Christ in game. By the way I was going to post this on December 25th the day that Christ was born, but I was a bit busy with hanging out with family. models/polievka/crucifix.mdl May Christ Be with you all.0 points
