    Okay, I take that back. Now I wonder why does SD need automatic corruption perms then, hm? Something that is given to them once they are out of probie stage and no one checks if they don't abuse it in non-ic ways? You think 100% of the department irl is corrupt? Not the case. This needs to change if I am honest, where people need good IC reasons and background story to give them those perms, yet, here, no need for it whatsoever. 

     

    Biggest issue no one checks if this permission is not abused to the point where it breaks server-rules, and trust me, if there is a way to abuse something humans will abuse it.

     

    My brother I am being very kind when I say you don't have the first clue what you are talking about. Your invective against the faction is clear and I'm sorry it hurts you that much. Not everyone is corrupt, the faction simply allows people to roleplay flawed characters rather than a protectron-9000 making arrests and cutting tickets. 

  2. Either way, I think the fact that day time is in such a low population timespan is a concern. This game is beautiful during the day time and American / Australian / Oceanic players are more or less condemned to the twilight zone. I want more day time, damnit.

    The refusal to even consider adjusting the server timezone from GMT is a massive mistake that leads to shafting every north american and oceanic timezoned player with doing business/playing at 2AM server time. I know people who legitimately haven't seen sunlight in game in months. I'd legitimately play a NA server over the main GTAW server at this point if a "licensed" one popped up like the RU or Italian servers. It's that bad.

     

    At the very least lower the amount of hours where it's nighttime. Or plop it on some timezone in like the middle of the Atlantic that'd meet halfway like Bermuda (GMT-3) or something.

     

     

    To be honest, I think changing the time cycle to 18 hours day / 6 hours night would be best. I can't imagine an NA-only server working, as we work best with most of the rest of the English-speaking world, but I do feel we get shafted with not being able to play in any day light. The night time gets boring and stale, especially when this game looks so beautiful in the day light.

  4. Jurisdictions are not happening.

     

    On previous servers, that was the biggest divider between factions. It would lead to a complete break-down of relations over the most minute things. One of the best things GTA:W got right was saying anyone can do anything anywhere they like.

    Regarding criticism and hopes for a better SD: all I can hope from the current leadership is to not protect and hide OOC sexual misconduct from senior members in positions of power, followed by the removal of the persons affected for their "attitude".

     

    Not a big ask but an important one.

     

    Can you elaborate...? If there are any "senior members in positions of power" performing "OOC sexual misconduct", please DM me immediately so they can be removed / forwarded to Management to be removed from the community.

    Make custody a separate fac and give us Bolingbroke

     

    Hi,

     

    It would not be our responsibility to do so, but if the opportunity for a separate faction that could better cater to a custody / correctional environment arose we would support it fully.

    A follow up on this. Now while I don't approve the coup attempt that happened, it's no secret that there are definitely changes that need to be made. You state that Nervous considered most of the complaints not worthy for removing an entire leadership team, yet did not go further into detail. The complaints made were at least of some merit, with some clever wording by the previous staff member to convince Nervous to do a full leadership change. 

     

    With that being said, the complaints (at least a few that I know about) were deemed to be at least of some merit, and is actually kind of troubling to hear coming from the faction, especially with you as leader. After all you and me have known each other since 2010. What is the stance on trying to fix the situations followed by complaints that were considered of merit, just not of enough seriousness to warrant a full leadership change. 

     

    What I mean by that, is the horrible OOC favoritism that is showcased, or at minimum, has been showcased in the past 2-3 years I've been with this community. Is there any plans to fix some of these situations that have been caused by the countless OOC cliques that have formed in not just the main leadership, but also the lower leadership as well? 

     

    We are taking corrective steps. We have an anonymous survey open to the faction for an extended period of time to allow people to think and give their honest feedback.

     

    As for OOC favoritism, I'm not sure I can agree with that one. To combat this perception, we are doubling down on and enforcing activity requirements for SS/CS/ES. People who do not meet activity requirements will be reduced in rank, regardless of who they are.

    Personally, in recent months I have had nothing but positive interactions with the Sheriff's Department and its leadership. I was pretty disappointed to see you guys get replaced, but overjoyed to see you restored. There is always room for improvement in all of our factions, but I do genuienly believe that Wildcat and the current administration has what it takes to take the SD into the future. 

     

    EDIT: Also, standalone dispatcher spots when.

     

    @Paddy would be very interested in hearing you out about Dispatchers.

    once subways become a thing is lssd metro deputies going to become a thing?

     

    and when they do where do i sign up to just ride the subway and be a subway cop?

     

    If there is sufficient interest in the subway from a civilian/illegal standpoint and sufficient interest in the subway from a faction standpoint, it is entirely possible.

    I'm sorry, how many of these people were your friends or people you have known for an extensive amount of time? As soon as you were removed, lots of your friends began commenting cringy posts like this.

    What about all of the people who had resigned and then rescinded their reinstatments as soon as you were reinstated?


    I held off on replying to you because I know who you are, but alas.

     

    While I am on good terms with all of those people, none of them are personally close with me. Besides Aces, who I spoke to following the coup, it has been weeks since I have spoken to any of the above names. Please try better. Thank you.

    Quoted from what Nervous posted:

     

     

    I don't seem to understand. Did Nervous vote to completely remove the entire faction leadership based on a single admins word? Or were there reports collected/evidence. If there was evidence/reports, what has changed since receiving those reports?


    I cannot speak for Nervous, but I can tell you that Nervous considered most of the complaints to not be worthy of removing an entire leadership team. People who sacrificed hundreds (thousands in some cases) of hours for this faction were unceremoniously demoted 5-6 ranks with no option to defend themselves. In addition, LFM received a large response from line members of the faction (and even people outside of the faction) decrying how the particular former member of staff handled the coup. It was wrong and Nervous reversed it after learning the truth.

    This is not specific feedback though I do have a general question. Given the recent events, are there any plans for reconstruction or change within the department or will things stay much the same?

     

    In terms of structure, things will remain the same. The 'temporary' administration proposed several unlearned, inexperienced proposals (e.g. combining Recruitment and Field Training, two units that are hard enough to run independently - much less together!) that would have not worked. The current structure is not perfect, but it functions enough to allow leeway for changes as need be.

    Why were you removed in the first place? If the reasons for removal were so egregious that Nervous himself wanted a full removal, why would you be put back into the same position that you were removed from? I mean no disrespect and am genuinely asking.

     

    It appears that Nervous was misled by a certain former member of the administration team. Ultimately, based upon resounding feedback from members of the LSSD, the decision was reversed. That being said, we are keeping an open mind and willing to accept any feedback to make the faction better.

    I mean, how will you handle corruption and corruption perms compared to the previous administration?


    Just to clarify - we are the previous administration. 

     

    It is our opinion that corruption roleplay / corruption permission should not be commonplace nor taken for granted. If placed in the wrong hands, corruption permission could ruin the experiences of so many illegal / civilian roleplayers. Corruption permission is deemed a privilege in the Sheriff's Department and will continue to be treated as such.

     

    Should a member of the faction exhibit proficient skill in roleplaying to where we trust them with this complex matter, we are 100% supportive of proper portrayal of police corruption.

    Hi there! Just a quick question for those that can answer.

     

    I'm assuming the current leadership is not being replaced then? I'm confused given Nervous' posts and responses, but it was never clarified to me.

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Yes, the leadership team is status quo ante bellum. No one from that administration remains in leadership.

  16. Hi,

     

    Given recent events, my leadership team and I are seeking feedback from the community on where the Sheriff's Department can improve. As always, the purpose of the Sheriff's Department is to provide a quality police roleplay experience to the server above all else. We are open to any feedback and will respond to most queries.

     

    The Sheriff's Department Leadership Team:


    @Wildcat (Sheriff)

    @lambchops (Undersheriff)

    @chaika (Assistant Sheriff)

    @Lomenga (Assistant Sheriff)

    @Keane (Chief)

    @Stephen (Chief, Custody)

     

    Thank you in advance.

  17. The policy of the Sheriff's Department is to roleplay every scene to its fullest extent. We ask our faction members to avoid cutting corners or rushing scenes. If this means we miss one, two, three, four, or however many calls? That's fine, so long as we provided a fun, enjoyable and realistic experience to that one scene. 

    At times, this server gets too hectic for us to manage. We aren't out of character police - we aren't supposed to stop criminals. We're supposed to portray police officers, the good and bad, and give the best interactions we can.
