Damn dong.. you're repping colombo..? I thought we had something man... #Opp

Unfortunately this incident escalated far beyond some lines it seems. Bringing IRL/OOC shit into stuff is equally unecessary and stupid fro. All parties. But.. I feel like this situation/how it was handle by players was more of a symptom of a bigger problem at hand, which does need addressing.. But the fact this guy got permad and made an appeal shows he wants to be here, and frankly he's should be. Sure people hate him or love him, but he's a good lad and is a quality player. I would request the team to sleep on it and give him a reduced sentence from perma. +1

Like... Im 50/50, great functionality and RP stuff but the issue is the level of standard particularly how it can be interpreted by cops and lead to cops becoming potentially more powerful and unbalanced. (oh and powergamey) The idea "if suspected of comitting a crime.. " when shit goes down, this can impact a lot of bystanders not involved in the situation for just being nearby or passing through. E.g shooting at ghetto, poor jimmy (not involved) just collected his Cocaine package at ghetto, gets stopped by cops and terry frisked. He is now Busted. (lets be real, everyone is comitting crimes. Giving cops the additional power of reasonable suspicion can be detrimental, and by cops im more so talking about retarded cops or cop mains who are unecessarily strict or assholes who can use this to stop you and increase risk of catching illegal things on people) Sure you can say "we will make it clear in training, SOP and our standards and have misusers prosecuted in the court of law for corruption!", but this shithouse will not make it worth it.. Having to go to court or even make staff tickets and just drag everything out makes it a unecessary headache. But deffo a useful function for crime faction members/civs. For cops? its a difficult stance to take unless it is well balanced.. Which it is not cos this shit happens at the probable cause level (which is meant to be a much HIGHER standard).

Yeah.. It was the glitch where the cuffed person is seated in the car but the position bugs elsewhere around the car.. Its a common bug which as far as i know a cuffed person cannot do (as they cannot do much at all, literally)

Why not get rid of visible names in general, aside from a brief description, and use the view ID function more?

Hm.. Not a bad idea +1

+1 need to harass the gay taxi man again like the good old days

one nice thing about jmoorsey below

Most impressive application; +1. Loved the video LOL

yknow what… with all the perma bans diverge is giving out, it is quite life changing for those getting banned as its always teaching most of them a lot life changing/very important lessons.. How altruistic. also waiting on @anzati1 to perform the ‘was it written with AI’ check.. hope you pass it man.

Does swimming in the lake count?

No, you're absolutely right - metagaming is an inherent issue that cannot really be fixed and relies on an honour system which is often abused. And by me saying "if there's a way around it without removing it" - removing faction name and number count I think would be the main thing and I agree to it; but the new tab replacement should have to be well designed but how is the question lol cos it'l just be a huge mess of like 115 players all under one tab (except cops) - but... thinking about it, playing the game with a "fog of war" type thing (no tab menu) might be interesting and more immersive.

im ngl i thought of suggesting something like this and i'd +1 it only if there was an appropriate solution... Out right removal? I'd disagree.. Perhaps it's as simple as removing the number "of players in that faction thats next to each factions name (except civs?). In the end.. if the concern is "once someone has your name and they can see which faction you're in" - i dont think that's too much of an issue because: 1. they cannot do anything ICly cos metagame. 2. Leads you to be more attentive and cautious with whom you give your name out to. 3. Adds to the consequences of your actions taken in the long run (friends today but enemies tomorrow or vice verca) if there's a way around it without removing it, would be more ideal. In the end people could always use the bot or console to check who is online, speculate which character they're on and make assumptions.

Nothing to apologise for! It's the new year and everyone was busy parting and stuff. things happen non the less. Thanks for taking the time to respond Ace - hope you had a good holiday.
