I've seen admins here, lead admins, continuing to express mentality of our way or the highway. Why wasn't the community consulted and discussed about a decision that dramatically impacts the community?

i mean nervous bullied me and roasted me in general chat, but that made me feel at home. even leaked the responses to my first staff app. truly paradise for a brit.

Username: DanielleBordeaux Comment: How about do some journalism, there are updates posted to the Bordeaux Foundation social media page with full transparent records of every single dollar donated. How about ask Sacred Heart shelter about the work we're doing? We are two old women, we do not have the tech savy skills of other organizations, we rely on the mediums we understand to share updates of what we're doing. It's all that simple.

Hate how they're used, especially when they're done months down the road after so much RP has already developed because of them. If it cannot be voided on the spot or isn't voided on the spot, or isn't a life or death situation, then I simply do not agree with them. They're overused, things can be explained 9/10 times through IC means and honestly if someone slips up, let it play out don't just hit the undo button on major pieces of RP.

Problem is, like with their IRL counterparts, the use case for hotels on GTA W are used as a way to circumvent rule 19 to have a temporary indoor and lockable environment. Yeah hotels get used for that a tonne IRL, but you don't have a valid tourism industry or their RP counter parts on LS. Most new and homeless chars (who aren't trying to RP homeless anyway) seek accommodation in their friends spare rooms or sofa's. So what we're left with is hotels with very little practical application, which likely wouldn't see any dramatic expansion if this was added. It's been a similar struggle to get Malls operational and used, but the difference is those genuinely do have a market of ppl who want to use them, as its a business for cheaper than it'd be to lease or buy a standalone business outright. Your idea is amazing in theory, would theoretically give Hotels more of a "purpose" and more RP... but I still can't see that actually happening. It'd be a whole lot of work for no real change in their use case. Although having a player owned motel could be cool.

idk most of em do actually match ig. Y'all mad about proportions, make a female char and check the modding options. Those dummy thick thighs exist as a clothing object in game. In fact there are more clothes like that, than there are "old people attires". (think knitted cardigans etc) As for not liking it on FB, yknow... you could just block em? I'd suggest not registering a QD account tho if u think FB is bad. The nudity on there still hasn't been cleared out yet by moderators. However the irony isn't lost on me that once again because ppl don't like something, they try to have it banned rather than the mentality of live and let live.

I think the admins need to be forced at times to see the game and see interactions more as a player and less as an admin, a good way to help this along is end the attitude of "What we say goes" and openly allow debates, not as close minded formalities but to genuinely listen and understand the other players perspective. Voiding major situations, months after serious character development and changes have come about because of said situation, shouldn't ever be on the cards unless all parties involved in it actually agree to void it. I've always said it before, but end the idea of a suggestion or a debate getting closed publicly and taken to the staff channels exclusively for discussion. If people have been vocal and suggested something that the staff consider potentially feasible, those individuals need to be involved in the second half of that discussion to ensure the original spirit of why something was suggested is not lost. I cannot speak for the illegal experience, never found myself enjoying it personally, but legal factions and legal characters experiences do sometimes feel like they're at the mercy of the suits. (admins/LFM) I appreciate though in my time on this server, I have certainly seen moments were having admins step in and shut things down are entirely needed, but otherwise I think a far healthier path forward on this server is FM switching from dictating things to factions and instead literally begin to serve as "intervention as an absolute last resort". Less red tape is certainly one of the ways forward to bring about positive change. For once though I'll keep my input at this, I have more to say but I don't believe I know the words to keep it entirely constructive without my input turning into a medium to vent frustrations without suggesting improvements also. I will add one more thing, and I really need to stress I do not mean this to sound toxic, I do not mean this to sound aggressive or petty at all. But if a lot of these issues are getting pinned back to FM's interactions with the server, maybe its time we stop topics of "Future of X roleplay" and have a good, honest and constructive discussion with all parts of the community on what the future of FM should be, if it needs reforms to better suit the RP environment of GTA W and how potential issues could be resolved. Once again though, not a toxic or petty attack on FM, but a genuine belief we need to sit and discuss this going forward.

Username: Danielle A. Bordeaux Comment: Says a lot about this proposal when myself, Hank Preston, Frederick Coleman and Andrew Brandenburg were all vocal and in agreement, the unions shouldn't be funded in any capacity by the government. That'd destroy the entire balance of what a union is and set a dangerous 2007 style precedent where the government comes in to bail out private entities. If unions are running dry, expand their membership to cover allied professions and alter the process in which they collect their dues.

Time for the son of once legendary moonshiner Otis Orville, Otis Orville Jr, to take up the family business. Hmu on discord, Mecovy.

Title kinda says it all, ideally someone will have a hardware store/business that can be used for the RP. Happy to explain to those interested the basic tenants of black-smithing. RP will be focused on grey area's, with the business advertising its main goal of providing bespoke knives to restaurants, whilst also taking the occasional under the counter order to a someone not looking to slice a steak.

Thousands of people in the LGBT community take their lives every day, but homophobic RP is on the rise and seems like its getting praised and rewarded by higher ups. Sorry for your families and I hope their okay, but banning events like this for those reasons, would also result in a lot of people pushing for all these other horrific things to get covered up and stopped, then GTA W becomes Sims World. It sucks, it really does, but disengage with the RP or log off if you feel its causing you to anger or feel upset at the IRL mirror.

Username: Danielle A. Bordeaux Comment: Disgraceful. This, overdue an election, senate cycle seems hyper-fixated on vehicles and absolutely oblivious to the horrors that lurk all across Vespucci and high crime area's. Focus on crimes of intent, not stealing people's vehicles for you all to joyride at sundown.

idk chief, on the simple divide by ten path, i don't really see how a mansion would then cost less than 1m. You're opening up a whole new can of worms with questionably cheap and unrealistically cheap prices for certain items if you universally cut by 10. There will always be contention with the economy, but this isn't the right way to solve it.
