i understand the perspective and that everyone has their own preferences for gameplay- and im sure most of us have done something once or twice that wasn’t the most rp-inclined thing at an off hour. your example is a great one for why we shouldn’t get comfortable doing that on the server. i count multiple fresh to the city folk who have no idea what they’re doing and this probably isn’t the best precedent to set for them. as aforementioned i can only see it being used as a crutch for the people coming onto this server strictly to try and hone their skills, check weapon stats, etc- but additionally it would shell a chunk of the exchange that takes place between people and weapon stores. what’s the point of asking around for what weapons and attachments are good if you just get told ‘bro….. just go on the ffa server and find out’. optimistically an outlet would still be nice. as much as i personally don’t like the idea, the build server could realistically be able to host a more sandbox setting where people can switch between pvp/build modes. in prevention of people trying to min/max the shit out of an IC weapon build; every single weapon would likely need to be modified in movement, damage, RoF, recoil, draw, etc- until its marketably unrecognizable compared to the main server weapons. (i love your optimism, but there are definitely people trying that hard. we have some real urchins around here if you look for them) it seems like it may be more hassle than it’s worth when we could just get GMs to break up the monotony for people looking for a breather from the RP with more occasional events. it really depends though, because i could also see a big enough chunk of people wanting something like this to make it happen

we got rid of ooc

coming from the community that was willing to make a bot strictly to react /w dumb emotes yes

how does it cut that deep

map update; chairs are being welded to the pawn shop guard rail

wait, then what is the prompt for then? might as well pay for his college and into his 401k is this actually a bad thing? 95% of them are denied anyway instead of exerting a power that should be authorized as a faction leader (who doesnt want a person in their faction), instead allow for (insert shitbag here) to play an ooc system and have contractually no real way to get PK'd? at best its a guy doing bare minimum weekly, at worst you've found the perfect loophole for rats to try and make PD more powerful by having immunity they'll happily bring to staff every day of the week if their con isn't convincing

then tell gambino, altoviti, takahashi, colombo, and many others to clean the goddamn blood and chalk off of the street

+1 with the recent overhaul city workers got, i dunno if they're in any dire need for more, plus i don't trust a loose band of new players to be effectively cleaning up the city im definitely more in line with the idea factions being able to use it as a front- cleaning services are one of the quintessential mobster services and this seems like the perfect opportunity to see them more properly introduced.

bring back being an actual dumbass earning your shitty rep

-1 this is broken, theres no way the police would be able to enforce this

-1 not bad a thought, but imo fighting shouldn't be well practiced. you're either seasoned or you're not; that should be your character. no trying to practice bhopping, strafing, and ADADADAD spamming trying to matrix hop over bullets with a movement-damage weapon build based entirely off numbers and meta that you've practiced for hours on end. if its worth that much to you, buy what you need IC and practice that way

+1 for /me's involving taking weapons out of trunks big -1 for adding /me's to concealable weapons. it totally nullifys the point of its concealability +1/-1 for unslinging open carry weapons. imo its kinda useless but i could see it being cool for the sake of showmanship -1 on the melees as well since they could also be able to be taken out discretely

+1 theres no way you should be able to do it while driving lol. moving your mouse seems a little excessive imo but if your cursor comes off of the vehicle that seems like it should be enough to cancel it

big gov would try to make you believe this could never happen..
