LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Withdrawn] Looking to buy the Rebel at listed price, if still available. Usually available for appointments in the mornings and afternoons. Phone Number: 1117327

See, that's a problem in and of itself. I understand my perspective is narrow, as I don't have a PD character, and I don't park illegally (so I don't see my own vehicles getting ticketed), however people shouldn't be afraid to do something because it's not liked. If we just avoided doing things because we didn't like doing them, then there'd be huge gaps in the server's roleplay (which there actually is in some factions, especially the legal ones. People joke about cops preferring shootouts because the paperwork is significantly less than other scenes). I might not like having my truck towed, but I would agree that towing my truck if I crashed and decided against coming back and parking it before actually head off for the night would be an appropriate response, because my truck would be blocking traffic, even if the reason for it doing so is OOC, it has an IC impact, so it should be treated ICly.

Maybe it should be an IC issue. Just because an OOC thing causes it, doesn't mean it shouldn't be treated ICly. There are numerous circumstances and cases where individuals had desync roleplayed out because it caused a traffic accident. It also goes without saying that with admins being so busy (they literally have so much on their plate, you can't reasonably expect responses quickly enough during peak periods), they might have to take something else which has clear priority. It also can't be distinguished whether or not a vehicle abandoned in the road is due to the player crashing, really bad roleplay, or something that happened ICly, like a stolen vehicle being abandoned. What you suggest is that I could leave my truck in the road ICly, and noone except an admin should act like it exists, because it's nearly impossible to differentiate a player crash vs. abandonment of a vehicle without getting out of your vehicle and approaching it, which is already a breach of IC. Not to be rude, but who is "we"? I see a large number of vehicles in the road every time I play. I could drive into LS right now and probably count on two hands just by going down like 6 roads coming off Vespucci, the amount of vehicles just left in the road (including bicycles). If "we" exists, they're not consistent. It might also stimulate some additional roleplay to delegate this to police or a towing company. If a crashed player's vehicle is towed to a lot (you don't even have to fine them), the player has to search for a taxi or other method of riding to the lot to retrieve their vehicle, and if they are fined, they also have to address the tickets. As it stands, I've literally seen one traffic related ticket being issued in my time of playing (which started two and a half months ago), and it was yesterday for an illegally parked car and invalid registration. It was a 7,500$ fine. I'm sure a majority of players could handle this ICly, and it just makes the PD seem more active if they're out there doing ANYTHING other than (by appearances) only responding to "Shots Fired" calls. That would be my suggestion; get the police towing cars again. Even the ones that are just abandoned in the road from a player crash. The more diversity in RP we see (even if it stems from things that occur OOCly, like desync - which is played out by some, mind you), the more intact the verisimilitude of the server is. It also saves some admins the hassle of despawning vehicles when they've got other, more important stuff going on. Peak hours are hectic.

As someone who's opened up a "Dick's Meats" foodtruck, I would love this, even if it meant future purchases for food trucks were higher or I had to get an admin to approve recipes e la "boombox request".

Gold Digger or Grave Digger? A lot of people tend not to give a double take to couples with age differences - who's to judge an old flame between a 60 year old millionaire and a girl who legally cannot drink? Although, given that tendency, we might overlook the REAL oddities - such as a local Los Santos resident digging up their sugar daddy. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you might want to do that double-take, because that ISN'T a meth head, but an actual dead body. We, here at The Hot Take, are here to dig the dirt up on this case. You might be wondering who you know might actually be only pretending to be alive, but for the sake of privacy, we've elected to censor the names and identities of the necrophiliac and their... love interest. Earlier today it came to this writer's attention that, right under everyone's noses, this individual has been parading this corpse around on social media, like some sick and twisted version of Weekend at Bernie's. Here's an image of the cadaver in question: Do you see this? That unnatural complexion, the limp posture, the total lack of facial expression - girl, that's not your man, that's a corpse! That's taking "getting your freak on" to a whole new level. It goes without saying that something like this is completely illegal in Los Santos, so that begs the question - just how far is our prospector digging for gold? Well, reader, this is where things get even more interesting. With a bit of investigation, we found out that this individual and her deceased daddy have been together - for quite some time. "Till death do us part" has no meaning in this relationship. A few years back, this relationship was a true proper marriage. Small, private ceremony, friends and family mostly. But recently, a heart attack caused the old fart to kick the bucket, and he was buried in the Vinewood cemetery after another small, private ceremony. Problem is, he was never ACTUALLY filed as dead. His pension benefits, everything, is still active, and going to their estate. To keep up the illusion, our fair lady has taken to digging up his grave, using his body as a prop to keep the IRS off her trail. We even have proof, as we visited the cemetery, looking for this individuals proper resting place. It's a shame that his current resting place happens to be her bed, as even the dignity cannot be afforded to him after she grabs onto as much cash as she possibly could. That leads us to today. This writer has attempted to reach out for an interview, but could only sustain a short conversation via Facebrowser, as the deceased-diddler refused full conversation. Here are the contents of that short conversation: She doesn't even bother to attempt to cover her tracks. No sudden appearances of Daddy Death, not even an answer to the request - just a heart, as if she was so smug to think that she didn't even have to deny the facts. This has been Jack, from The Hot Take, bringing the hottest takes directly to your web browser.
