yeah indeed, hence having an overall change being labelled as a con for it wouldnt be a small thing and would need further things implemented to avoid such things. Merely a suggestion to implement some foundation to build on. As, these changes would also affect how court works in having to view documents, affidavits etc. It wouldnt be light work

To help void the need of using google docs and to streamline everything and make it more efficient, I suggest bringing an in game way of processing arrest that is some how linked to the discord instead of using google docs. e.g actually using the computer to write up and "file" plea deals or CCs and with plea deals using some UI like pressing f1 and cops having an unique tab filing everything without the need for tabbing out. I guess the same way we can /checkrecords or pressing C and checking records - having the ability to "give plea deal" which then opens a template etc. I also suggest this as it could also show arrest which are done through the bailiff and not be dependant on pleas. Hopefully the idea of using the templates we have can be possible as all it would be required to integrate templates etc. And I also suggest an internal clocking in/out mechanism I am aware some cons could be: 1. major overhaul would be required 2. Could cause lag with the potential high volume of data in the database so would need a means to optimise it etc or work around it. 3. could require the overhaul of how things happen particularly with plea deals etc.

-1 rage quit on FC 25 after getting his ass whooped by a bronze team.

+1 Perhaps make it PTW for donators only but yes would be a great useful feature to have.

+1 but wouldnt this be a cause for concern with lag issues? hopefully not

i see makes sence.

As mentioned above, having a queue system to be in line to join to give you a position and reserves a slot for a short time when you reach position one and a slot opens (or another form or queue management) for peak server hours. The wait and fight to get into the server can be a long one and definitely a tedious one.

-1 Honestly, there were periods of time where the contrary was true, tons of crim factions/civs on and barely any cops on and that balance ruined the experience just like this is affecting it - i mean if you will add measures to balance the player base then i dont think having too many cops is a bad thing considering that: in a full server, of 30 cops there's around 4 people per cop ratio - cops are outnumbered and not all of them are competent nor good nor do much. so attempting to balance this, then dealing with the natural decline in cop population which occurs once in a while when people are fed up/burnt out of being cops then you'll have another problem to deal with.

Thank you for voicing your point, to clarify: 1. I am not a NYC cabbie, that was the other commenter above - I work for another family. 2. I took option B - they didnt expect it and I took care of business - trying to escape before being gunned down by a bystander lol. 3. Regardless of actions i took i had 5 minutes to complete my revenge. We tried to find them after they ran off by a car and they returned to little italy, after we returned and i used the ATM to get ammo. And "no one moved on from the event but me"?? what video are you looking at?? we were literally standing and talking about the same situation lol which escalated. 4. This is gmod - not john wick, if i took care of the threat (which i did, prior to dying) little italy wwould be on my ass, which i do not mind nor care for as im prepare to take it - the style i used to get the job done was valid and of course it's malicious as I was, with intent, trying to kill someone who, in the moment, i deemed was a valid kill as they shot at us first for something that was not worthy of being shot at [hence the RDM bait]. Don't forget we did try talk about it and not escalate hence "standing around" but threats were thrown thus rendering the talk away. 5. Yes I hope UA will take a peek as in my opinion, respectfully, you still dont seem to have a grasp of the on going situation. (my leaving from the server im sure was a lot longer than 2 minutes after the event but not sure of course, logs can confirm). I get me leaving the server (whilst i am with the belief it was a valid kill) and looking at my POs in my absence looks bad on me and i see why you may favour towards the "yeah probably he did it - look at his POs" - i suggest you reconsider and relook because clearly its not the case as ive sent you a clip too and even the cabbie wrote above which i dont think you took into consideration (we both died afterwards btw despite him not doing anything to warrant a death)

Have you not seen my clip and seen the bigger picture?? I literally shown you the minutes before hand giving at least 2 more minutes of context which you wont find in that clip giving you my side and i believe I gave a more thorough explanation to defend myself and state that this entire situation shouldn't be pointed at me as we were randomly shot at the beginning. It's not the case he's "standing still" and if anything i had 5 minutes to enact and this fell within the 5 minutes - taking this clip at face value which it seems like is not okay. I wouldn't have killed if i didnt view it as valid and frankly i believed it was at the time of the incident. Frankly this should constitute as RDM baiting.

Your Character or Steam Name: Troubledghost Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): (in black) STEAM_0:0:90789839 Your Discord ID#: rufie. Reason for ban: RDM Length of ban: 1 week Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute Why should you be unbanned? Hellooo - i was banned by falcon whilst i was offline for RDM and the only reason i can see me getting banned for a kill is for me killing one of the few people who shot at us whilst i was in a cab, and the cab driver was taking me to my destination - granted the cab driver perhaps was awful at driving - and the cab got shot at by someone whos car was hit (maybe? not sure) and was chasing the cab driver for their "insurance details" and he drove off due to the fact there wasnt anything meaning full to RP there. I took damage from it and got out to see who it was. There were two people who dressed similar aand i got a glimpse of it - and upon returning (and being ran over etc) we had a discussion I shot one of them as they were coercing and threatening me and the cabbie. I did pull out a gun way to early and played it off as saying "the cab driver owes me money too, dont worry youre cool" and the fact i was shot at - i killed one of them. Now i think the error may be the fact, looking at my clip, i may have potentially killed the wrong guy who didnt shoot at us initially and pin it to the spur of the moment as it was quite hectic. But we got shot at for no good reason, being shot at for a tap isnt it, and should surely be rdm in itself due to it being a poor ecuse, if it was multiple hits then sure but we were driving away and had no beef lol. Plus the threats werent helping - sure the guy that i killed didnt pull out a weapon and it waas verbal threats which would constitute being shot - but the fact we were shot at before - which in the moment i wasnt sure who eaactly - the fact the guy i shot was pressing and doing it i thought it waas him and shot him - (looking at the clip the guy who shot at us was slightly distant hence attention being on them) The cab driver had no one to defend him and i took that stance - even if both of us are being threatened after the fact we did nothing worthy of being shot at. so i hope for this to be overturned as its a messy situation which shouldnt have started initially by being shot at for no good reason and followed with threats with either of the two suspects as I believed they both possessed the ability to hurt/harm us. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): The clip for some reason is muted, but this shows the 2 minutes about before what happened. (you can see blood spatter from the back of the caab when we're driving away) https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/j9UBNL0oR211zetaU?invite=cr-MSxXRTksMTk2MzAwODIxLA

it does not matter as both do the same thing however thank you for the clarity

Ripperonies

Whenever your FPS becomes dog doodoo and stays that way with you knowing it's due to the server, particularly when walking towards hardware/park where it's most notorious for awful fps drop, type this command into console which may help as it helped me 80% of the time to fix the fps drop. " record 1 ; stop" Shoutout to the guy who told me this whilst delivering oil to rockerdeller

Quality over quantity my dude

+1 Definitely a great idea to develop on!

+1 Idea - expanding on Taxi RP definitely a great idea.

Valid points. the PA only for cop factions usage to avoid mingery. Yeah with spikes - balancing would be something to think about. Perhaps omly Task Force have it and maybe sergeant+ Peoper spray - i guess it wasnt used in 1988 but perhaps it worth adding as a precursor to actual pepper spray i.e development pepper spray. (Just like you have cars from the 2000s in game, perhaps its a worthwhile compromise in linearity

I mean with how the foundations of the server are setup, adding a third racket will significantly shift the dynamic and may lead to changes in the equilibrium of how things work. Atm it's 1. Drugs 2. Guns 3. Mugging/thefts but then you're quite limited. Steal cars? Cant sell it/people can respawn them at the dealership whilst your driving it. extortion/protection racket? Civs dont really own any shops/businesses suff - they are run by other factions so cant go down that avenue. Perhaps having more types of civilian factions can do the trick and less investment into new crime families to be added along with current ones? Opening the door to extortion/protection rackets.

So I am suggesting the addition upgrades to the cop cars but these points are more auxiliary and quite minor like: - Some for of Red/Blue Flashing lights when sirens are on. - A sort of flashing Yellow light for during when a police car is stationary/cordoning an area. - A sort of speaker in the car like a PA to have a bit of extended range in dealing with communications i.e Cops across the strees telling geoups across to disperse. (only which cops can use to prevent minges having another means of mingery) - A potentially means of cops which die have a short range in which they yell for "help/officer do-" but i fear this one may certainly be unnecessary and take away from the RP - but ill keep it in case. Tools - Spikes: Patrol get access to Spike (but Corporal+ As to not oversaturated the product and balance it) Can certainly help with various fast and overpowered car involved in which people often either 1. successfully escape or 2. Police avoid initiating such a chase which seems to be common. Pepper Spray: Another Non lethal means of incapacitating/preventing people running away (essentially temporarily blinding/blurring vision for a short period) to help deal with those running away or committing battery (as the taser mechanic is difficult and the only non lethal option) - Batons have can chance break legs if targetting them to help with escaping. As the window to time a taser shot and someone hitting with a baton is very narrow.

-1 agreed

Yikes

+1 Good RP'er - had good interactions and fun playing with them. Serious with a side of humour depending which character he is

+1 Having the old system would be great and more ImmErSiVe, probably should add being able to pop tyres with knives back too

Honestly, can do with a few more ATMs around town but not that much, maybe like 3 more in certain places
