Excellent video. I noticed how the two attackers violated the server rules by not showing fear after your character pulled a gun, and again after your character shot one of them dead. Not showing fear, and everyone else is supposed to show fear when they rob and kill. They're shit rpers plain and simple. Anti-gay hate might have been their excuse, but really they're just shit rp deathmatchers. I've seen it plenty of times. It doesn't matter what the excuse is. They just want to attack other characters for laughs and something to do.

I agree. Longer and better and more interesting visual effects would be good. My character tried weed, I think. It wasn't very interesting, and compared to the issues of buying it, having it, risking getting caught with it, it wasn't worth it. Drinking wasn't even worth it.

Vespucci Canals, intersection of Conqistador Street and Bay City Ave.

Agree.

No, you turned what I said into something different so you could criticize it. As if people who do that rp aren't doing it for their ooc lulz. And there's no reason why characters should not call the cops on suspicious things happening.

What's pathetic is people thinking that talking like some urban dickwad and picking fights is rp.

No, that's you saying that, not me. I put a lot of effort into my rp, and if people are going to waste my game time with their trash tier bullshit, I'm not going to go along with it.

^This. My game time is limited, and I'm not going to waste it being some trash tier rper's loot mystery box. If my characters see something suspicious, they call 911. Why? Because if people are going to shit on my rp, if they're going to waste my time, I'm going to call a bunch of bored cops down on them. Since the server rules make it a pain in the ass for civilians to be armed, the cops will be my weapon. Waste my time, I'll waste yours. I'm always finding more ways to adapt, but it would be nice if the staff, who by and large do an excellent job, would treat cop, criminal, and civilian as equally valuable.

Ok, I went back and read Sugar's post that you were responding to, and your comment was a tangent about gun control, and this discussion we're having about gun control isn't relevant to what OP wanted to talk about.

Yes, that's exactly right. It's completely reasonable for a city with a lot of gun violence (and hammer robberies) to have harsh gun control laws.

My point was, a lot of gun violence can exist at the same time with "heavy gun control", and that gun control laws are reasonable for a city that has a lot of gun violence. Anyway, I chose those cities because they have restrictive gun control laws and high gun violence at the same time, which was my point. I did not make the argument they were among the most dangerous cities. I did not address the causes of gun violence, you went on that entire tangent by yourself. This is what he said: Really, I don't know what point he was trying to make. He could have meant a city shouldn't have gun control if it has 20 homicides a day for 1000 people, or he could have meant heavy gun control wasn't working, so I made my best guess and stated that it's very reasonable to have restrictive gun control (heavy is a vague word) in a city that has a high rate of gun violence.

What was your point? My point was that places with a lot of gun violence frequently have restrictive gun control laws.

Yes it is. The places with the most gun violence often have the heaviest gun control. New York City, Washington DC, Los Angeles. That's because only law abiding people abide by gun control laws and the criminals, who are doing the homicides, don't give a shit about gun control and do whatever they want.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the best character concept ever created.
