  1. @Thurston Howl (Tagging you as well to answer the previous quote) There's a rule for it in the server rules: Powergaming. GTA lets you drive on those tracks as if they were a simple road, it does not take into account how much the underbody of any regular daily car would be shredded to pieces, driving in such cases itself represents powergaming. Added to that, there is ICly a subway system that is very well active and means every single one of those tracks is being used on the daily, another thing people tend to forget when they lead a chase on a 150 to 200 meters long tunnel without -ever- considering that they'd realistically soon enough face a train going -fast- on the opposite direction with no outcome but preparing themselves to discover what follows death. Those are two examples that well define why driving in tunnels subway is simply powergaming, so my first question will be, did it ever deter anyone from unrealistically driving on said tracks? Despite endless reports and punishments, because they prefer a 60min admin jail rather than 3/4 hours in bolingbroke to face the consequences of their own actions. Let's take it a step further, even. The reasons these tunnels were blocked off in the very first place were the sync issues and glitches, vehicles & players going invisible on a completely random basis, which could be a huge, unfair and most of all unrealistic advantage, on one side or on the other. The goal of the server is and always was to be a heavy RolePlay server, standards should not be requalified and lowered due to the quality of RP provided by players that don't really take it seriously or have simply misjudged the expectations, as much as theft, fraud should not be progressively allowed in real life because a significant amount of individuals do such crimes.
  2. I mean trying to derail a train by driving on its tracks is technically an act of terror so I'd charge with Domestic Terrorism and give lifetime in Bolingbroke.
  3. Thing is you're on a heavy RolePlay server, not GTA Online or a Cops & Robbers server, it's not supposed to be fair, it's supposed to be realistic, criminals have to actually be smart not just abuse the hell of the game limitations to pull the most unrealistic stuff. If people are okay with driving through ICly busy metro tunnels with no regard to realism in a lowered sports car which would have its whole underbody absolutely ripped apart on these train tracks, why wouldn't we be okay with flying off a cliff? It's basically the same definition in both cases, powergaming.
  4. Jhon Salmon x @Fireworks collab when?
  5. I'm against removing the fine so I'll give -1. However, I'd like to point out the irony of calling it a self serving suggestion, as the suggesting player is a legal roleplayer as SADCR & SD, and not an illegal player.

  7. The goal of paid healthcare is not to increase the amount of people wishing to engage in medical RP, it's quite the opposite in fact. Picture it this way. An evening or a night will be made, as of now, of a vast majority of gunshot wounds calls, where the medical RP is forced on players because they got themselves involved in a shooting. This is the problem, right here. As it stands, medical roleplayers (EMS responders) usually faces one of the following scenarios (listed by frequency of occurrence): The patient is dead The patient is AFK / will not interact with medics at all. The patient does not answer medical RolePlay / basic questions (Are you in pain? /do Are there visible injuries?) and goes on a rant in /b how they do not want to roleplay those injuries because X shot them with no reason and they should not have to RP it. (It happens a lot more than you think, a huge lot more) The patient somehow miraculously feels fine and barely acknowledges being shot 7 times in the chest. (We sometimes RP them as not able to survive this, because honestly if you have 7 bullets in your lungs you physically cannot breath, which they usually contest because "muh not a headshot so i'm fine") The rare few scenes where a player actually gives us even basic RP and makes it enjoyable by somewhat feeling a little bit involved by what's going down. If death becomes punitive (Monetary fee, it's what most people will definitely quantify and look out for) as well as medical becoming paid as well, maybe it will lead players to be more careful about shootings and think twice before engaging into a shooting/drive-by simply because their opponents tagged a singular wall in their territory, and will chose a more moderate escalation approach (Brawl, assaults, etc..), as they will need to actually value their character's life and not just PK out of it. So, all in all, the goal of paid healthcare is not to bring more cases to medical RPers. Its goal is to moderate the influx of identical, repetitive and frankly unwanted calls (Nothing's worse than your patient making it clear your very medical RP as EMS is bothering them because they don't care) by making people -actually- value their characters' lives. (Keep in mind the added bonuses with paid healthcare however, namely: Different levels of care in different price ranges. (Pillbox/ER @ $$$, A private clinic @ $$ or even charity-run clinics like Hope Health @ $, etc) Underground, illegal medical teams / doctors with also different prices for all kinds of medical procedures. (As some form of supplier status / vouched position) Insurance companies with different prices and benefits. (More expensive = better coverage, bare minimum = minimum coverage, etc...)
