    If I see someone walking around with a mask I'm instantly suspicious of them and will watch what they do. That's because of my IC experiences with masked people. If it's an open business it should be handled IC. If I see someone coming towards me with a mask? You bet I'll start looking for a way to leave or exit. Same if I'm ina  car, masked people towards me? I dip. I'm not going to wait around to find out what happens. I've been robbed before and the times I had been robbed well nothing I could do about it (The truth is most of these robberies were before the rules were clarified so people did the classic drive their car, leave round the corner, jump into yard).

     

    I prefer this was solved in character. Don't want people to be suspicious of you? Don't wear a mask.  I rather not have any more ooc restrictions.

     

    Does the "Rather not have more OOC restrictions" also extend to not OOC restricting the senate to ICly pass a law that would allow law enforcement to preemptively frisk folk that walk around in public with ski masks?

  2. Why's this thread being hijacked? This is about wearing masks in public spaces for which an IC law could easily be created if its not held back by your usual admin intervention.

     

    Why we derailing and talking about car robberies? Respectfully, make your own thread.

  3. Playing here since 2018, never donated a single penny and never felt restricted by it. The only thing I don't like is /bad being behind a paywall but that's fixed by taking it IC and paying an advertiser to handle it instead. It's not that big of a deal.

  4. I don't think anyone here is asking for OOC admin rules surrounding masks, that would be ridiculous and unnecessary. I do not like admin intervention or OOC intervention with anything that should be kept IC. I also think it would be incredibly stupid to make it so people can be arrested for wearing a mask or face covers. I think that would even be unconstitutional seeing as some religions have their women cover their faces and what not.

     

    However, I'm pretty sure it can be discouraged by some kind of law that allows law enforcement to detain and frisk anyone who's seen unnecessarily concealing their identity in public spaces. That alone would likely discourage the excessive usage in Los Santos in a more sensible way rather than going full dictator mode. A healthy balance is always the way to go.

    it should be kept ic tho, some people wear masks for no reason irl same way some people do a lot of shit that can't be explained for no reason irl. people on world have a habit of crying about shit that could just be kept ic, it's a mask, it only affects you if you let it affect you/go out of your way to care about something that doesn't concern you.

     

    There are a LOT of things that should be kept IC, I'm in favor of keeping nearly 99percent of the things IC including this "issue" or "non issue" however you perceive it, I personally don't really care much about the masks as it never bothers me or impacts me. But I do know the second lawmakers create a law surrounding facial covers people are immediately going to cry OOCly to the admin team and it'll be voided, amended and or trashed. That's the real problem, instead of those people crying ICly and simply punishing those running for re-election in the future or rallying/protesting in game against decisions the roleplay is completely watered down and people opt for OOC interference instead. That's the state of how things are right now sadly.

  6. To those saying "keep it IC", this doesn't work anymore on GTA:W if you haven't noticed. If it was to be taken IC and law makers create a law around facial covers (which would be an entirely legitimate thing to do) you'd just have those same people claiming to keep it IC donating their tears to IFM/LFM and before you know it things are VETO'd like the marijuana legalization law and plenty of other laws that had to be amended or even entirely scrapped because of severe OOC interference. 

     

    Those who continue to claim we need to keep things IC are either extremely disconnected with the way GTA:W works or they're just trolling at this point, knowing fully well nothing can be done IC.

  7. The other day I saw 3-4 of these tuned up mallrat vehicles race through the city in a convoy, playing that little shitty game where you have to follow the vehicle in front to the best of your ability and the vehicle up front has to try his hardest to make the route difficult and shake the followers off. They were speeding through the city going over sidewalks and doing the most unrealistic crazy shit ever. They were going so fast shit doesn't load in for them so they literally slammed into us and they themselves weren't impacted by the collision because we didn't even appear on their screens yet. I don't know how y'all want to take shit like this IC, this a breach of common courtesy, its a breach of realistic portrayal and these people need to start getting ajailed and having their vehicles taken from them.

     

    There are plenty of legal race tracks and options to race on the server now without having to blatantly be a nuisance to everyone around you.

    To you, maybe. if that's all you can bring yourself to get out of a robbery scene because you're not happy with being robbed, then that's all on you.

    That shit happens in real life. Why would you put yourself at a disadvantage? That sounds like a P2W attitude, dont get caught lacking. I understand highly unrealistic robberies, but majority of the rules on the server are too detailed, people cant even play their character they have to act around rules, because they'll get caught out by some stupid loophole and get ajailed or get it voided. The rules should be plain and simple and it's upto you to act realistically. 

     

    An example of it is, I got robbed with a screwdriver. I then went back to my house got a gun, and went looking for the guy who robbed me, I found him and told him give me my phone back, he runs up and hits me off my bike, so I pull my gun and shoot him dead. He reports and I get warned "Shooting during a fist fight". Like what, I was looking for the guy to shoot him in the first place. 2, he has a screwdriver why tf am I gonna fight him. 

     

    The "It happens in real life" is probably the laziest argument possible. I could go on and on and on about things that happen in real life, even to the point where I could say it "frequently" happens but if we were to roleplay all that on a 1:1 scale with only 700players at any given time as opposed to the millions and millions of potential victims in real life? You'll just have a city of frustrated victims and I'd argue that it would be totally realistic for such a victimized population to go absolutely crazy and develop serious mental issues to the point where I would say its totally realistic for them to go on mass shooting sprees in areas where these "robbers" (IE: Gang members) convey on a regular basis. Which would again, in turn ruin the roleplay atmosphere we've been trying to create on the server and would turn this into one of those FiveM full blown warfare servers where its near impossible to do anything without violence being involved at every corner. 

     

    These rules don't exist to screw you over, they're there to protect normal players and create somewhat of a "realistic" innocent population, even if that population at the moment consists of mostly unrealistic mallrat-like characters that use this platform to fulfill dark and weird fantasies.

    1.0 got some serious frame drops, the suspect IA is still john wicky. But it's fun.

     

    The game can be made much better through mods, should give it a try.

    r u a pedo bro

     

    anyway i guess most people arent bothered by it so staff can L&A this and move on

     

    Calling other players a pedo because they don't agree with your opinion, you're the one that should be removed from this community.
