take it far. salud.

The server being set in the modern day is detrimental to roleplay quality, the amount of people just shamelessly playing self inserts is astonishing. (Hot model-esque char posting about their Elden Ring progress on Facebrowser). "Realism" is also retarded and shouldn't be strived for. Factions shouldn't be literally portraying real life gangs, organizations, etc. People should try and be more creative with things, and the never ending quest for "realism" shits on creativity.

It's been a blast playing in the faction, after over 2 years of being in it I couldn't have envisioned roleplaying with any other group. It's been a pleasure to be part of the longest lasting illegal faction on the server. Thanks to everyone that played and everyone still playing. Best of luck to @pogoyo leading the faction in the future, great things to come.

Mechanic RP is long, tedious, and at the end of the day no one really cares about it for other reasons stated in this thread. I get some people are heavily involved in roleplaying around their cars and modding them, but most people just want a quick and painless interaction. I don't care for the solo-RP a mechanic is doing to paint my car because I accidentally chose the wrong color when buying it. I'm of the opinion that garages should be a lot like 24/7s in that if no one's operating one people can just use it on their own.

powergame right back and say you got a vasectomy 2 years ago so it can't be yours.

Trying to make any sort of punishment for IC crimes go across characters is one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. There's no way it can work nor should it ever be considered. There will always be people that don't care about their characters and just do the same shit over and over again, but definitely not an excuse to punish the players that do.

GTAW has the advantage of having been around a long time plus people's time/monetary investment into the server itself. I think other servers probably would attract those that are banned/constantly get banned from here and personally I think it'd be a good thing if they left. Maybe it can lead to less dogwater unofficial groups that are full of players like this and we can get some better factions up.

People are way too obsessed with realism. It's a roleplay server and of course the crime rate will always be way higher than most real life places because that's a lot of people's fun. The issue, as mentioned, is always the poor quality of roleplay for the crimes being committed. I think teams like IFM need to be way more proactive in controlling these groups and factions that come out the gate engaging in shit roleplay, but they aren't because they're really understaffed with only a handful of members in IFM for the server's population. Admin punishments are also CRAZY lax to what they used to be. People brazenly and knowingly breaking rules get off with minor ajails instead of bans, I could have sworn when I joined the server admins were dishing out bans left and right to people just not being up to server standard. (Ofc what that standard is is super vague, especially now.) Bad 'illegal' rpers do paint the rest in a bad light, just like robo-cops paint a lot of leos in a bad light. There are plenty of good factions out there but the ones that are shit drag the rest down and spoil the bunch. As for 'civilian' rp in general? I always hated the lines being so rigid with 'legal' and 'illegal' characters. As if a criminal can't have a normal job, or a lawyer can't bend the law occasionally. This divide only creates an us vs. them mentality among players, and in my experience, I've seen 'legal' characters think they're actually policing the server from real criminals and criminals who larp as gang bangers like their characters are. Civilians are caught in the middle and often considered to be 'mallrats' because the only thing they can do is go clubbing and jack off over their cars or something. But that being said my advice to people wanting to be a civilian is not to think of it as black and white, that if you're not calling the cops instantly to report someone selling drugs, or do something a little bit outside the law, that you're no longer 'good' or any less of a 'civilian'. If members of my faction went around robbing random people on the street, they'd quickly find themselves being kicked (because these are the same types to be driving sports bikes around and other shit because it's the meta to get away quickly). I don't think robbing entirely random people in the spur of the moment ever creates good or memorable rp for anyone, and the best RP experiences come from slow build ups to create more of a story. A lot of robberies are just rushed because ofc, the robber doesn't want to get caught, and the person being robbed just wants it to be over.

People probably don't want to truck anymore because it's a script job that doesn't offer much in terms of roleplay. Like a lot of script jobs people only do them until they have enough money to pursue something else. Can't force people to work script jobs which is why it's detrimental to have businesses rely on truckers to get components, I think they should make buying components an automated process and keep trucking separate to it to avoid situations like this.

Ernest Mosley is a monhster. 🔥 looks epic.

Businesses don't show up on the list of open businesses unless they've posted a /bad. I've done /openbusiness prior to opening my businesses and they've never appeared on the list. Unless they recently changed it, you need access to /bad to appear on the list.

I think having routing numbers is a big hassle. Compared to the old /banktransfer (amount) (firstname) (lastname) system, it just feels really clunky to have to ask for a routing number now. It was fine before imo. All the business bank stuff is rather annoying too, as far as I know there's no way to take money from a business bank as cash, even though it'd have more potential for RP with business owners having to carry their money to the bank (could set up some well thought out robberies with this).
