ain't no one telling @Itz_Fritz he can't deploy a snake cam now, boys

text rp is 100000% not a dying medium. gtaw is the single largest textrp community of all time, and it shows. its successful, and it wont die any time soon. gtaw is many things, but a quality roleplay server it is not. in a community which occasionally reaches 1000 concurrent payrers you cant expect everyone to be quality, but this server and its leadership has long since reached the point where they've realized quality control is a losing battle. what you see instead are three things: 1. second lifers living out their idealized (usually much more attractive) lives through an avatar, having lots of e sex and driving fast cars 2. children and NEETs enamored with the commodified rapper-criminal lifestyle who either ape shotcaller, blood in blood out, etc or their favorite rapper's biography 3. cop rejects and security guards living out their LARP fantasies in an LEO faction there are exceptions to these generalizations, but these groups are who the server primarily services because they're the most populous. the possibility that you will be allowed to do anything remotely imaginative or interesting on this server is effectively nill. this wasn't always the case, as back in the day realism took a back seat to narrative and fun (case in point with the fact we had LCN factions in LA), but with the population on the server grown as it has, this shit is now complete paint by numbers 'roleplay'. the only way to make a server like this run remotely well is to force everyone to fit an average. exceptions to the roleplay average, good or bad. this is a doom post, but i think you guys should stop kidding yourselves. this server is many great things, but if you want to play anything that isn't one of those three aforementioned things, ur in for a rude awakening. i also don't think you'll ever see any meaningful change come from these sorts of posts, regardless of what lip service we get in server update posts.

best post on this unbelievably shitty thread in a long time. keep it up, bigbunger

erp enforcement bureau

half the reason crime is so easy to get away with (if you’re not caught red handed by pure luck) is halfways because no one wants to do paperwork on a role play server. never mind how much paperwork LEOs would have to do as a consequence of this, but you’d have to revamp the entire way businesses are operated. you’d generate shit tons of paperwork for business owners. IRS just write subpoenas all day and reviews bank records. there is no way a faction like this would survive more than two months.

put the corruption perms in the fucking bag or get flattened by the jag

Having been in SD for almost a year (I think?), I can say that no one moderates TS use. Metagame is rampant, there is no decorum, and from top to bottom channels are used to just chat, and sometimes worse. If your expectations of supervisors are to maintain decorum and prevent ppl from breaking the rules, no one is meeting them.
