+1 trolls are pissing their pants realizing they might not be able to set up hi-fis in front of businesses anymore for the sake of trying to fuck peoples day maybe some of us dont wanna have to spam stopsound in console because you knew blasting little israel adverts/pack smoker at full volume right outside the building in 'public' might be annoying

+1 big fan of this. ive only been mugged twice now but both times when it has happened ive been left in either a locked room or far tunnel still bound and blind. massive pain in the ass and usually the worst part about getting mugged the only real way to get out of this is meta or praying your captor does the right thing. if you take damage or are moved while trying to undo bindings it could halt/reset your progress- and should be considered fair warning against escaping as i imagine trying to get away would put you under fearRP and liable for PK if your captors are still there. there also should probably be a rule against a captor just waiting for someone to break their binds and not ‘warning’ them in effort to stop people using it as a way to bait PKs

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..

schrödinger's douchebag. rp is good, but only when it supplements you- if its anywhere else its too serious and cringe. you're definitely the same mf who comes into another business, throws shit everywhere, doesn't pay, and leaves and calling it 'good rp' just to whine all the way home when someone is being 'too srs' when people come by and wants you to pay for acting like a shitbag (you saw them come in and probably went 'afk' cause you hate accountability) people like you have gotten way too comfortable talking shit ic and not having any repercussions. the gamemode is meant to be cut throat but its nearing a point of people having infinite tries from how much you can fuck up now- you're testament to that. the server is '1980s roleplay' not 'take the piss in southside_redux'. go play vrchat/darkrp or something- hell, maybe roblox is more your speed. theres no way you genuinely thought you cooked here and if you did you're genuinely cooked.

i'd love to see an acquirable car bomb-- but i think starting out it should be only craftable and able to be crafted by felons just to make ensure the market isn't flooded with them by every fac leader who wants to burn a gorillion dollars for a war fund of car bombs though one issue would be a car vanishing when a bomb is planted in it physical bombs would be interesting too but tougher to explain. perhaps they could be crafted/scaled for a more personal hand grenade size device all the way up to an explosive designed to attack businesses (should take up 4x4 slots or something as well as slow a person considerably) interesting idea: certain items could require an ID to purchase and felons could be unable to purchase some items required to craft bombs. if a person with a valid ID buys too many bomb ingredients in a short time span (days, possibly even weeks) they could be legally investigated by the police- and even a warrant issued. all of this would be aimed to make bomb-making and acquiring its components a high risk endeavor. tentative and soft +1. if done wrong this idea could be absolutely horrible and rightly shouldn't be something to become commonplace-- but in a world of crime explosives are a very real possibility and could prove to be an equalizer for smaller factions looking to make an impact

we need more gangs but i dunno if this is it. +1 to see where it goes. gl

double distance to the barge remove 7-12, place a second mansion (also for the governor) bring back fbi

sonic weber 4 mayor

this is probably the best way to do it imo. i don't think you can directly add to the age cause it might make some pretty awkward discrepancies - especially since no real way to rationalize people serving multiple year long sentences and having their age be changed when its still 1989. a sort of age 'point system' like this will still discourage repeat offenders.

i totally agree id like to think it might inspire someone to make another repair shop at somewhere like 7-12, the jewel shop in china town or anywhere really that has the real estate thats just me being optimistic though lol

what if instead fac's with auto repair shop businesses could have the ability to own/lease vehicle spawner pads from the city? (provided they have the space for one) you would have to pay to take vehicles out/put them away instead of being free (maybe like ~$500-1k or sumn, idk). money goes right to the business and could be taxed thru the city as normal during tax season or a regular flat separate rate for those who opt into owning one
