As the city's election approaches, a wide array of candidates vie for seats in the Greater Los Santos area. The two main parties, Democrats and Republicans, present their plan for the city and have already managed to make rounds of news, with more to come in the days ahead. In the spirit of this election, LSNN presents the 2020 Los Santos Election Special, which aims to inform voters on key issues and familiarize you with the candidates running for District Representative. This page will constantly be updated with top news stories and other revisions. KASPER KARTOWSKI AND THE LSNN TEAM © 2020 Los Santos News Network. All rights reserved. (( COMMENTS ARE DISABLED ON THESE PAGES. EACH PAGE IS A SUB-SITE OF THE MAIN LSNN WEBSITE AND NOT AN ARTICLE. )) PARTY QUESTIONNAIRE We asked the leaders of both political parties the following hot topic questions. Feel free to read if you would like greater detail on both of the parties' policy positions and the reasoning behind them. Does your party believe that mandatory minimum sentences for convicted felons must be upheld by courts? Democrats: As long as a penalty prescribed in the penal code is not cruel and unusual, judges have no choice but to apply it.  It is often said that judges have discretion to be lenient or severe; that is true, but also true is that their discretion not unfettered.  The lower and upper limits are set by the policymakers and put in the penal code by them. The court should have no choice but to sentence in the prescribed range of the Penal Code. Republicans: We do not believe in arbitrary enforcement of the law. We believe that a minimum is a minimum, therefore it is mandatory. Should the death penalty should be handed down on violent offenders? What about non-violent ones? Democrats: We believe that there should be an automatic, mandatory appeal whenever a death sentence is handed down.  No convicted person should condemned to capital punishment without the approval of our highest court. San Andreas does not currently have automatic direct appeal for any convict sentenced to capital punishment.  In such cases, higher courts should review the offenses and unanimously agree to a verdict. For non-violent offences, we think it would not only be barbaric, but might even rise to cruel and unusual punishment to impose capital punishment. Republicans: Murder and rape are crimes that we consider irredeemable. It goes against our principles to allow people who have committed great harm against defenseless victims to go unpunished. Violence against children, the elderly and other helpless individuals absolutely deserve the maximum punishment prescribed by law. We believe non-violent offenders should both be punished and rehabilitated. Today, hundreds of Los Santos citizens sit behind bars in the county's correctional facility. The overwhelming majority are people of color. What will your party do to address this issue? Democrats: Sometimes, we hear explanations that amount to perpetuating stereotypes — we hear variations of “they don’t want to contribute,” or “they just need a job." The issue is often treated as if it is the result of a single barrier.  But it is usually not just the lack of a job.  If you address only one barrier, the response becomes ineffective.  Our approach must recognize the complexities behind these realities, and it must involve multiple disciplines if it emerges that the issue is a number of barriers rather than a single barrier. Our response would involve four stages: (1) identify exactly where the problems are, (2) consulting the broader community about their needs, such as relevant experts, the policing community, social workers, (3) design, which would include drafting solutions, and (4) implementation, where we would pass the finished bill into law. Republicans: We wish to give those who suffer at a disadvantage because of discrimination or mental illness a chance to fight and appeal their conviction. Most importantly, we want to prevent this kind of statistic from increasing. We plan to do this by partnering with local clinics and outreach organizations to help keep every citizen looked after and cared for, along with keeping them employed and successful. In recent months, several protesters have called for a cut in police funding and suggested placing it into the hands of other services. Does your party support extracting and rearranging police funding? Democrats: We do not support the ‘defund the police’ movement. Instead, we aim to start with offering people alternatives to turn to. Welfare checks and mental-health related calls will be coordinated with new health departments, and mental health hotlines will work together with public service departments to keep people safe. This way, the police can use their assets and funding to focus on the areas where they need it most, including violent crimes, traffic, and community patrol. We do not want our police to be underfunded, and we hope that this way, we can ensure their funding is stable while still offering the potential of redistribution, should it be necessary or beneficial. Republicans: We do not believe in defunding the police, nor creating another entity to replace them. This defeats the purpose of reforming justice and law enforcement, at least at a local level. We do believe mental health services need a buff, our city lacks an official provider, apart from local clinics that are not nearly as supported or funded as much as they should be. We want to increase oversight with every department, in order to quell discrimination and corruption. We believe, in order for this to be possible, these departments will require more funding and guidance. It is a long journey of oversight and community outreach that will effectively hinder discrimination and corruption. If in power at City Hall, how will your party ensure that no one tries to profit off of their political success? Democrats: Our candidates, collaborators and employees have been scanned and checked multiple times before receiving an offer of employment from The Democratic Party. In addition, the Chairman and the Vice Chairman lead a specific internal control team which keeps track of any suspicious movement by our collaborators. We strongly believe in our team, supporting them as much as possible in the operative field as well in the political environment, but all our members are aware of the constant checks we run on them to keep things clear and fair for everyone but mainly for the citizens of Los Santos. Republicans: Oversight is very important. Under previous administrations, we have been kept in the dark. Very little was published and there are not many points of contact for people to connect with in order to voice their concerns. We plan to totally reform the government by implementing strict no-nonsense anti-corruption and oversight laws that will ensure job activity is upheld and corruption is non-existent. This also means implementing new positions that interact with the public more frequently, much like the LSPD's MRCAD division. Will your candidates be mandated to release their tax returns to the public? Democrats: All our candidates (i.e. District Representative, Deputy District Representative) will be mandated to release their tax returns to the public and have them visible to everyone. The Democratic Party has no secrets and we also put a lot of effort into what we do because we want to deliver only the best for our supporters and everyone in the City of Los Santos. In the upcoming weeks we will be releasing our tax returns to the public domain in order to let people understand that paying taxes is something necessary to have our city grow and become a better place. Republicans: No, but if we win, we would publish salaries for each title within the government. If elected, how would your party deal with obstacles from the opposition? Democrats: Our party was the first to reach out to the Republican Party’s leadership in order to set up meetings to discuss our communication during these elections. We find it important to establish a proper channel of communication so we can deal with the elections and campaigns in a fair and just way. We aim to continue the trend of communication throughout the next term. While we may disagree with our political opponents’ opinions, we respect their intelligence, skill and experience. By keeping communications stable throughout the term, we aim to get the best out of everyone’s capabilities. Our motto is Forward, Together, and that’s together with everyone. Republicans: As civilized people, we must frequently appeal to others, through logic and reason. Everybody uses these tactics, whether it's during a simple conversation or a full on debate. Even if there is opposition in power, we'll be doing our best to make sure there are policies in place that will benefit the people of Los Santos. Does your party plan on raising, lowering, or maintaining the current tax rate? Democrats: We will neither lower nor raise the tax rate. To ensure renovations for hospitals, set up a new health department, fund education properly and provide child services, as well as institute numerous other programs, lowering the tax rate is not feasible. To ensure families prosper, we do not wish to raise the tax rate, either, as higher taxes can be burdensome. Our research into the finance department has shown that the government is able to afford our plans, as long as the current tax rate remains in place. Republicans: While we are traditionally inclined to cut taxes, we believe the current rates in place by the city are fair. We will not be increasing or cutting them. This is subject to change though. If elected, would your party introduce any new taxes? If so, explain what the purpose of this tax would be. Democrats: Our party supports programs that aim to fight against climate change. On a federal level, the United States of America turned its back on the Paris Agreements of 2015, municipal and state governments now have the duty to take the task of climate change prevention upon themselves. This includes setting a clear price on greenhouse gas emissions. This tax would aim to give companies incentive to switch to cleaner power sources. On the other hand, we wish to reduce the taxes and registration costs on electric vehicles to incentivize people to look at cleaner alternatives to gasoline. Republicans: At the moment, the only potential tax we have thought of introducing is one on tobacco. Tobacco is indeed harmful substance, but we have yet to fully negotiate the possibility or specifics of this tax. If elected, what kinds of infrastructure, housing, or other projects would your party support and how much would these projects cost? Democrats: We will look to landlords and real estate managers to help solve this problem. One of our policies is the Rental Housing Assistance Program, which would create a website that gives landlords and tenants the tools to make renting properties easier. By creating a clear overview of sort-able listings, people can search based on district, price, and the amount of rooms of each type in the property. After the tenant and landlord have come to an agreement, the website would automatically help set up a contract based on the information the landlord provided, which protects people against tenant fraud. Republicans: We intend on building low income housing projects, as well as temporary housing for the homeless and destitute veterans. The housing program for veterans would be much like a shared quarters in a shelter. Proof of service will be required, obviously. Projected costs for this project are not yet final, but we believe them to be in the four hundred-thousand range. This includes acquiring real estate and renovations. Does your party support running budget deficits (creating debt when expenses exceed profit) to fund city projects or other city services? Why or why not? Democrats: We are willing to bring the government into debt only should it be a good thing for the economy in the long-term. Government debt is not a bad thing for the economy in the short-term, as it opens a way for foreign bodies to invest in our growth by purchasing government bonds. Investors help economic growth when government debt is active, since it is less risky. If a reasonable amount of debt is necessary to improve our citizens' quality of life, Democrats are open to it on a short-term basis. However, we will always be dedicated to a stable economy and this will come first when weighing the pros and cons of any sort of debt, and will not go into debt should it not be absolutely necessary. Republicans: In most cases, we do not support running deficits and we seek to cut unnecessary expenses. But there will always be certain programs that are a necessity to the people and rely heavily on financing. For example, we hope to help charitable organizations through incentives such as grants. How does your party plan to protect the LGBT community? Democrats: In the first release of our party manifesto, we included a section under rights that extends the ban on discrimination on account of orientation in employment, housing, public accommodations, and other areas, to include discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics. This is only our first step in helping the LGBT community. Our team consists of people of various backgrounds, walks of life, ethnic groups, religions, sexual orientations and gender identities. These people were chosen not because of their backgrounds, but because each of them is exceptionally capable in their positions. We believe every person should be given the chance to prove their ability without hindrance in regards to their background. Republicans: We are currently not aware of any major local dilemma or statistics that prove the LGBT community suffers. We are aware that there has been incidents across the nation regarding discrimination and abuse, however it is hard to tackle these issues on a local level when there is no data available to work with. If in power, will your party continue the affordable housing initiative? Democrats: At the moment, we think that the affordable housing initiative is not correctly brought to the poorest neighborhoods as it should be. If in power we will continue this noble cause but we won't just sit there and see how it goes, but we'll be enforcing this initiative and give the possibility to everyone to afford a decent and safe place. Republicans: Yes. In a recent study, researchers listened to 1.2 million 911 calls and found that police officers use their firearms more often than in previous years, and that most cases involving police firearms being pulled occur in black communities. Can this statistic be lowered? If so, how will your party work towards that goal? Democrats: There is no easy, quick solution to cure the problem of racism. But we believe the statistics can be lowered by thoroughly lobbying to the government of San Andreas to take inspiration from a number of progressive acts throughout America. The Police Integrity Transparency and Accountability Act from Colorado aims to collect racial profiling data and demographic data on police arrests. An act like this would ease the process of filing lawsuits in the event of unfair treatment. On top of that, it would prevent the transfer of problematic officers to different departments, make the use and release of body cameras mandatory, and require officers to intervene if they see their coworkers using unreasonable force against citizens. There is no easy, quick solution, no clear answer to the cure of precariousness problem of racism. But we have many options, and there are many steps we could take in the right direction. Republicans: It absolutely can. We have plans to work with the LSPD's leadership and staff to help review and reform policies that result in these kind of incidents. We wish to also implement more outreach programs to help create a safer environment in these communities, without the need of increasing police presence or harsh action. Should your party form government, what would its first priority be? Democrats: Our top priority will be to satisfy Los Santos' citizens' needs. We are now listening to their problems one by one, giving a voice to everyone. For example, we're currently working on city’s public health system. No more will people be discharged within hours due to a lack of space and good rooms in hospitals. No longer will the mental health epidemic be neglected. We intend to work with the COO to make the establishment of the Department of Public Health one of our top priorities. Republicans: Implementing oversight/transparency/anti-corruption laws and policies. What is the biggest problem we face as a city right now? How does your party wish to solve it? Democrats: The biggest is hard to say. There are many problems within our city, from racial segregation to homelessness, to the lack of mental health resources and support groups, to the lack of education. Our hands will be full, but we have a good number of people ready to solve everything. With the cooperation of the bright minds of both parties, we can work towards solving multiple problems at a time. Our motto Forward, Together is also our approach to solving the city’s problems: together. Republicans: Unemployment and lack of access to medical facilities. Unemployment is a major issue across the nation. It is imperative we work with organizations such as ULSA and unions to help quell this issue. Medical facilities require our support across the city to ensure people are healthy and cared for, they desperately need our support to make this a reality.

If elected, how will you judge your success or failure as a party in government? Democrats: We would judge our success based on the effectiveness of our initiatives on our citizens, including the communications program, the poverty resources program, the suicide prevention lifeline program, the immigration resources program and other policies in our manifesto. Republicans: The measurement of our success can be judged in the way we have benefited the people of Los Santos and the policies we implement. 1.

Short description: Add user feedback for the /take and /place commands for LEO factions. Detailed description: User feedback is vital in communicating when performing actions. With the recent removal of the automatic /ame's when using these commands, it is difficult to determine whether or not a weapon was taken out or placed into or out of the unit. An example of a client-side message to confirm their actions: You have taken out X from the vehicle! You have placed X into the vehicle! Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? User feedback messages such as the one suggested improves user experience overall. Having confirmation messages knowing that an action was performed successfully would prevent mistakes or having to manually check by getting out of the vehicle initially, to see whether or not the weapon you have taken out is in the weapon wheel.

Short description: 1. Make the /sf menu stay after selling an item you've selected from that menu 2. Add the option to perform multiple Sharp Rotations at once. Detailed description: 1. The /sf command is commonly used when mapping because it shows everything in the furniture system with whatever word or phrase was searched up. This often produces a long list of results, where you're looking for a particular item. At present, you need to purchase an item to make them visible. Once you delete the item, you're kicked back out of the mapping system, causing the need to type /sf [words] again. This means that if you don't know the exact item name that you're looking for, you're often in for a long-winded search, consisting of repetitive scrolling through the same /sf menu of search results. A small change which would make this process much less painful is if the /sf menu were to remain once you've sold an item which was selected from that menu. That way, you wouldn't have to re-orient yourself on that same 20-odd page list each time you've selected an item which is not the one you're looking for. To be clear, my complaint is not the need to repetitively type /sf [words], but the difficulty with which you need to re-orient yourself on that long list of search results each time you've sold an item. Examples: These are the most painstaking /sf searches to do, and as a mapper, I do them often. /sf glass has 22 pages of results. Oftentimes, this is needed when looking for a particular type or size of glass. /sf door has 23 pages of results. /sf wall art has 23 pages of results. /sf window has 11 pages of results. /sf light has 19 pages of results. /sf lamp has 9 pages of results. 2. Sharp Rotations are useful because instead of having to manually rotate, you can flip an item upside down or side-ways while keeping it 'straight'. Mappers often use this function to rotate 'trim' and other decorative pieces, making nice details on walls and creating displays, pillars, etc. Without Sharp Rotations, trim would be basically useless but it's one of the nicest details we see in interiors these days, allowing us to create baseboards, sideboards, crown moldings, pillars, railings and so much more. If there was an option to perform multiple rotations at once, such as a number selection added to the current Sharp Rotations of X, Y and Z (a clicker you could dial up or down using the right or left arrow keys), it would greatly improve the efficiency of this function. I counted the number of keyboard 'clicks' in order to perform ONE 180 degree rotation in any direction, and it is currently twenty-eight button pushes. That's four sharp rotations, performed as efficiently as possible. It could be reduced to five or six clicks, most of which are navigating the menu, if a number selection (for example, a value of 4 would produce a 180 rotation) was added. Commands to add: None; a change to be made to the /sf command, in order to make the search results menu stay, landing back on the same item you've selected and sold from that list. A change made to the Sharp Rotation Function, adding a number selection on each of the options: X Y and Z. Items to add: None How would your suggestion improve the server? These changes would, in my opinion, make the mapping process much less painful. Additional information: Added poll.

Survival Instincts.

In 1984, the government implemented Bulgarisation policies to limit the cultural and ethnic influence of Bulgarian Turks. Approximately 800,000 Turks were forced to adopt Bulgarian names. Furthermore, Turks were not allowed to attend Muslim ceremonies, speak Turkish in public places, or wear traditional Turkish clothing. This led, a few years later, to the biggest exodus in Europe since World War II

Personally, I know you're an admin and shit and probably have your own interpretation of the rule in your mind, but in my opinion if your character actually tried to investigate what's going on in South LS in the right way, there'd be no way you could be accused of not RPing fear. There's countless gang members on social media and many (if contacted) wouldn't mind talking to a reporter about crime in their neighbourhood or in South Los in general. IMO you'd only show a lack of fear if you openly approached 5-6 gang members and started asking them weird questions about their gang or started taking pictures of them without asking, personally? if you approached my char in south central and started asking him about his gang tatts / his gang, depending on the situation he'd be more than happy to answer you, as would many others.. Limiting yourself from roleplay opportunities because you feel it'd make you look like a bad rper or like you lack fear just doesn't make much sense though to be real with you. Not only that aswell, but we've got a new graffiti system which is in /cim. Your character could find out much of what she needs to know about gangs in south ls thrugh just that. I could draw a whole gang map, write a list of gangs and who they beef with just off of going around reading /cim's. Then all your char would really need to do is find someone from one of the gangs and initiate a conversation, which lets be honest, isn't hard at all and doesn't display a lack of fear.

Seems to be entirely on LEO factions and their respective public relation teams. Without those teams publicly acknowledging the events that happen IC (Shootings, murders, arson's, etc), there's really no way for journalists to know what's going on unless they stumble across a scene in game. Honestly even a quick, daily press release detailing the last 24 hours of calls would be good. Just a basic outline of what calls PD responded to and where, journalists can use that to investigate further. If there were multiple shootings in Morningwood last night Journalists can go to the area and attempt to interview people, report on the story. Also more of this from PD:

Short description: Allow a second rider on a BMX Bike if pegs are added Detailed description: Allow a second rider on a BMX Bike if pegs are added to them. They can either get on by using the g key to get on the back pegs or using a command like /peg. If there is a way to attach a player to a vehicle you should just be able to attach the vehicle and have them in some sort of standing pose in order to make it look more like the character is on the pegs. Commands to add: /peg or G key Items to add: Bike pegs at either a convenience store or mechanic shop How would your suggestion improve the server? This would help for gang roleplay since its not uncommon for people in gangs to have a passenger on the pegs of a bike. Helps make the roleplay more diverse throughout all gangs. Additional information: I tried searching for this suggestion so I apologize if this is duplicate.

The O'Neill Mob trailer!

Florencia 13, also known as the South Side Florence 13 or Florencia Treca, is an infamous Hispanic Sureño street gang, with cliques spread throughout Los Santos County of San Andreas. They originated after World War II, during the late 1940s, in Florence Avenue street. Florence Avenue street was later renamed to Roy Lowenstein Boulevard in the 70s due to rising racial tensions. The name Florence is pronounced Florencia in Spanish, and that's where the gang got its name from. Florence is also a woman's name. This resulted in the gang adopting a 50's "doo-woop" song, "Florence" by The Paragons. The song was often requested by the gang members to let everybody know that Florencia members were posted up. The gang was first formed in the '40s as a neighborhood patrol to protect the Hispanic demographic against the much larger African-American street gangs at the time. Florencia 13 adapted the number 13 during the 1960s, which corresponds to the alphabet letter "M," signifying their affiliation with the Mexican Mafia. Many early members of the Mexican Mafia were recruited from the Florencia gang as Florencianos(Florencia gang members) earned a reputation for their fierceness while battling with much larger black gangs. Florencia 13 claims multiple, if not the major part, Mexican Mafia members, affiliates, and soldiers. An Era of Violence Trinidad "Trinny" Iglesias was one of the earlier affiliates of Florence. He's believed to be one of the most monstrous members to be recruited by the Florencia 13 gang. He gained notoriety after assaulting an estimated amount of 14 police officers. On May 22, 1971, Deputy Gary Saunders was shot multiple times in the chest by Iglesias. Iglesias is believed to have shot Deputy Saunders after a physical altercation following a foot chase with Saunders' gun. He's also believed to be the prime suspect in the shooting of a Huntington Park Narcotics Officer, who was shot in the head while using a urinal in a public bathroom. Trinidad Iglesias, although violent and notorious for his act, has never been documented as a true and confirmed Mexican mobster within his correctional tenure. Due to a political bill released within this time arch, he was released from prison in 1975. Photo of various "Florencia 13" gang members was taken sometime in early 1970's at the bank building at Florence Ave & Holmes Ave. This photo was used in a number of trials and sentencing hearings to prove that the suspect or subject was an active gang member. Beef with East Coast Crips (ECC) Florencia 13's conflict with ECC is believed to be LS's most significant street gang conflict. The beef is believed to have begun because of a couple of East Coast Crips from the Six Pacc, who took a few hundred kilos of drugs that belonged to a Florence member. At the time, Florencia and East Coast Crips were doing business together. ECC members had access to the vehicle with the kilos and stole the drugs, distributing them among their members. The war has come to a stop recently, in 2019, after a truce was called between the notorious Florencia 13 and the East Coast Crips. Florencia 13 Today The gang today continues to grow. It is one of the three largest gangs within Los Santos. Florencia 13 continues to finance itself primarily through narcotics trafficking. The gang is known to have ties with multiple Blood street gangs nearby and therefore inherit various cultural similarities and relations with African-Americans. Some Florencia cliques on the western side are known to be sharing turf with Harvard Park Brims and Swan Lake Bloods. Florencia has gone through numerous gang injunctions over the past few years, and dozens of arrests, but the gang grows stronger every day. In 2009, the FBI executed one of the most significant federal gang takedowns; Operation Joker's Wild was centered on the famous Florencia 13 clique "Jokers," about ten individuals from the street gang were consecutively prosecuted on firearms and narcotics-related charges.

Yes, please.

Been here for a bit over a week and wanna say thanks to @Phiz for helping me out with noobish questions.

Could I get a show of hands (( React to this post here )) on how many of you would be applying for the faction once our first application wave is opened? Curious to know how many we can get in this first application wave. Est. time for first recruitment wave should be around mid- Octoberish.

@KV, you do an insane level of work and I really appreciate you and all of the advice you give!

Good shit

+1 Agree with this. $500 adds up when replacing door locks after shifting things around your property/business. We recently had an issue where one door would not allow door locks being installed or removed which essentially made the door non-functional. After a report, we were told it had 10 door locks on it and it was subsequently removed (it hasn't worked right since). Realistically, I would imagine you would not need to destroy a door lock in order to replace or remove it.

Your character's organic progression is so eloquently portrayed. Keep it up man. I'll be checking back here.

Can someone confirm that it is not allowed to dodge taxes using /banktransfer and /sellv? I've only seen Discord messages about this. Forum posts remained unanswered. This is not listed in the rules, although arguably it could fall under script abuse. This is further complicated by the apparent exception when selling a vehicle over the retail value, which seems to reward pricing vehicles high, as taxes can be dodged over parts of the sale. A few challenges and ambiguities that a blanket ban on this would introduce; Changing ownership of vehicles temporarily (but where /vdup is not sensible or possible). For example, for rental, for business purposes, shared vehicles, etc. Is it allowed to not pay taxes over the full value of the vehicle? Changing ownership of vehicles between (dealership) employees. The vehicle owner transfers vehicles to another employee to sell them for the same business. Is it allowed to not pay taxes over the full value of the vehicle? Trading in vehicles. It is common (near universal in my experience) practice on this server to reduce the value of the expensive vehicle in a trade by the value of the cheaper vehicle. Is this still allowed? This is a common negotiation tactic for salespersons that could be jeopardized. Is it allowed to not pay taxes over the full value of the vehicles in this instance? Financing. What if the initial payment does not constitute the full value of the vehicle? Are sellers expected to pay taxes over incoming payments down the line? There is no script feature to support this directly and properly. Side question, scamming over vehicles is not allowed. What about scamming over vehicle financing? I'm guessing that is allowed because it constitutes a loan? Trading of multiple vehicles. Not as common, but it still happens that when there is a trade of more than 2 vehicles, that the amounts simply get added together and transferred as a whole. Once again, this too is a common negotiation strategy that is employed, which is somewhat jeopardized by a blanket ban on /banktransfer and /sellv. Is it allowed to not pay taxes over the full value of the vehicles in this instance? Who is responsible or liable when this does happen? Sometimes buyers simply /banktransfer an amount without informing the seller beforehand. I assume both are still in breach of the script abuse rules if this goes through then? I assume so, but clarification is always nice. Finally, please elaborate on this issue and how it is meant to change player behavior via official means of communication. It shouldn't be up to individual players to try and explore the different boundaries of the rules when a change to a command such as this gets added. This leaves players like myself to try and educate customers on this, without having a full understanding of the extent of the rules behind it. Combine that responsibility with a financial interest to do the opposite, this is a situation that is far from ideal.

Not to sneak diss or anything, but with the current base group of members that started this faction I don't think we'll ever reach the quality goals and expectations that I personally had in mind. I've been mislead and it made me have high hopes, only to realize what I've gotten myself into on day 2. I would stick around for the rest but in this case it really isn't worth it for me. Thanks to everybody involved, even the 80% that decorated the discord server. ❤️ L&A please
