after 4 years, with almost 3 days playtime I dont see any reason to assume that you *dont* know the rules, but 14 days is also really long. Reduced to 4.

you can dm players to convey OOC shit. If you're not allowed to DM them something, you're definitely not allowed to use LOOC to say it.

Hello all, I've discovered kind of a loophole to the whole "Don't work with police, but making statements to cops is fine" pk rules. The current rule states: Which, on its face seems entirely fine. But since we're on the federal rules of evidence in the courts, it creates a stark, immediate issue. Originally, Hearsay was much more restricted. So, a cop hearing a victim say "Hey man that guys stealing my car" (this was a case against me i'm referencing here, guys already dead in an unrelated pk), the officers *can* include that in their affidavits to prove that the victim did have a crime committed against them. So, the current rule being that reporting a crime isnt enough; reporting the crime actually *is* enough to prosecute someone. Their statements can be considered testimony under two rules: FRE 803(1) FRE 803(2) These rules state that hearsay is acceptable and admissible in court if it is: (1) - Present Sense Impression: A statement describing or explaining an event or condition, made while or immediately after the declarant perceived it. (2) - Excited Utterance - A statement relating to a startling event or condition, made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement that it caused. So what does this mean for criminals? Someone yelling out "Officer this guy just killed someone" or "Officer, that guy stole my car" or "Officer he has a gun on him!" is ALL admissible in court. It's all usable. The person need not testify, that *is* usable by the officers' testimony. And the courts can, and always have had the capacity, to convict someone under a singular affidavit (which is debatable considering a previous precedent, but could still reasonably happen right now). My suggestion is very easy to understand. A new addition to the rule. A "Duty to contest". It works very simply. Joe Mecli, a civilian, witnesses someone shoot a guy. He yells out "Officer, that guy shot someone" when he sees a cop, who was not a witness to the actual crime. The officer, having heard the blast, arrests the guy on attempted murder charges or some other charges related (Discharge, Unlawful conduct, yadayada). Well now criminal guy Joe Gambino is in a dicey situation. Joe Gambino, is now allowed, by the rules, that if the testimony of the cop reflects what Joe Mecli said, he can locate Joe Mecli, and threaten him to "Contest". Appear in court and say "Nah that didnt happen". This is the most fair addition to the rule, reflecting the new rules of evidence, and how we deal with witness statements. Now that the DAs office is aware that they can do this shit, they're going to be doing it *a lot*. And there needs to be a balance. The technicality of the rules should be that you have to locate the person in game, Identify them somehow (tie them to the name), and threaten them that they have to get you an affidavit stating the *opposite* before discovery closes. This should be done with at least 24 hours BEFORE discovery closes, as to provide ample time. Then, if they refuse to testify, or they switch sides again on the stand and say its true and the guy is a criminal, the family of that criminal should be able to give orders on the Joe Mecli, the civilian, for snitching. Kind of a long one, but here's my change to the rule I would make: You cannot PK a civilian for simply witnessing or reporting a crime, it's natural for normal civilians to call the Police or report incidents, while you may attack them for this it is not considered a valid PK reason. You may only PK a Civilian if they are actively collaborating with a government agency to take you down, i.e. signing an affidavit or working directly with police beyond the initial report. If their statements to police are later used by police to establish that a crime was committed, you may locate, identify, and threaten the individual in order to write an affidavit contesting that they never made those statements. If they fail to write that affidavit before discovery closes, or refuse to testify thereafter, or testify and state the opposite (thereby further implicating you), you may PK that person.

Bring back my fucking mask

If i get arrested, charged with 44 minutes, I shouldn't have to be constantly moving in my 3x3 cell for all 44 minutes. We've had multiple players fall to this fate. They go afk to serve their sentence. They get afk kicked. The timer on their phone goes off, theyre excited to play, only to find themselves on a disconnection screen for afk. The people DESERVE to be able to go jerk off through their ENTIRE 30 minute sentence (some of you more than a few times) No justice no peace

Can we just make a car mechanic simulator 2020 in gmod

no they could just put the dupe down when they're on the server

Detectives down bad when theyre asking for the traffic stop update

Hey I got an RP idea. How would you guys like to do the dumbest most inconvenient shit

no need for a mod, you can just piss off

Are you tired of seeing Townhouse #whatever or ghetto room #whatever being owned by a guy who's not even using it literally at all? The doors are wide open and it's been untouched for hours? Well then I have the solution for you! Add a timeout timer for doors, if they arent unlocked/locked within say 2 hours literally just auto sell them. Because we as staff cant just randomly decide they arent using them anymore so they'll sit owned literally all day by random nobodies who aren't using the property at all.

Length of ban: 7 and a half hours "I have since gone sober" Congrats on 3 hours sober buddy

this is so real, we're doubling the distance to the barge.

I'm going to spoil the punch for you on this one, under my reign in the detectives, the UCs were your most active members by far. Some became higher ranking in factions, one of them actually became an underboss (or whatever the third position was). The only instances to which they weren't active they were pulled out. As of right now, I don't think there's been any change in that since I left the detectives.

I'd be more susceptible to understand your plight about being stolen from, and potentially maybe even trying to run him over in a brief moment, but driving your car into an actual building to pursue him with the vehicle when you're well established to have at least tried to read VDM rules is indicative that you need to read them again.

You've just described powergame. Making a character with the same name as a lawyer in order to obtain items under the guise that you are actually him. Next time, just get bar certified.

Idk what bros even talking about for like half of that, but I think it was some shit like you insulting someone, and kosher demanded 100k and an apology, and only got half and they killed you to save the relationship between kosher and sos
