  1. To clarify, I wasn't saying I believe this suggestion is capped at "not any worse", I think its a major improvement. I was disagreeing that you believed it would be detrimental. The "rampant robbery" issue will never be solved until there is a major focus on improving the opportunities illegal RPers have on this server. The alleged focus on this issue moving forward this year is a welcome announcement for sure. I would be very hesitant to believe your experience with CC but that conversation isnt going to go anywhere meaningful in a hurry. I personally cant see any major issue with this. The both sides isms have merit whether you like them or not. Robbers MG and victims play to win. At least this places an order on the scene that must be followed. Victims hiding items in every random orifice on their body to avoid losing them is just as much of a silly portrayal as a robber doing a secret service level patdown with a gun in one hand. This suggestion is not going to solve either issue but it creates more clarity than what we currently have.
  2. Well yeah of course I think there should be an explicit barring of /showitems before a search for this to work. It should also be made explicit that a robber can't try to continue searching after a /showitems request has been completed and they must continue the scene and file a report if they suspect wrongdoing. What youre getting at here is play to win abuse by bad RPers which occurs on both sides and isnt specific to robberies. Concealed carry weapons are not hard to find no matter where you hide them. Its an almost unrealistic advantage given to victims that they even have the potential of hiding a weapon from a robber's search, but I can see why it is in place to stop lazy robbery /mes. Any half assed pat down irl would likely discover a concealed carry weapon. The fact of the matter is some robbers will try to metagame items, some victims will try to play to win to retain them. At least this will add some much needed consistency to the understanding of acceptable process. There will be teething problems for sure but its definitely not any worse of an idea than what currently occurs.
  3. How would it? The implication is that their only avenue at that point is to file a report if they believe the victim purposely didnt rp the robbery correctly. This is a win-win. It stops robbers from demanding /showitems to metagame before their search, and stops victims using play to win tactics to save their items. Massively in support of this.
  4. Easily my favourite GTA game. Honestly every time I hear people say its bad I just assume they played it, didn't like the driving or the more subdued humour and subtext - and never gave it another shot. When you go back and play it, its a genuine masterpiece. Never have I felt more engrossed in a game world (GTA 5 doesn't even come close). Getting off the subway in Broker in the middle of the night, walking through the run down slums of Bohan, mingling in the crowds of Star Junction. All of it felt so unbelievably authentic. Sure you didn't have the same access to wacky fun game mechanics as other GTA games, but this gave it such a grounded feeling. When you had a pistol in your hand you felt the weight of it.
  5. It can't be expressed enough how much of a privilege it is to have @Flow steering this ship. Through thick and thin he has never stopped trying to provide great RP opportunities not only for us, but for the server as a whole. Massive, massive kudos.
  6. Yeah I don't think we should remove CK apps entirely, they are a very important part of the realistic roleplay atmosphere we strive for here. But the current system is bogus for sure. Saying "Too much time and roleplay has occurred" is not in any way, shape or form an acceptable outcome for players who have NO ability to speed the process up themselves. If we're going to continue with CK apps then more resources need to be provided for admins to deal with the appeals in an effective manner.

    Habbo RP

    Yeah that's the one. What a place. No matter what the day's RP events entailed, everyone could always land down to Valentino's in the evening for a mocha. You're right its very sad, have any of the old photo/sticky walls been recorded anywhere?

    Habbo RP

    Yeah I don't think we will ever truly appreciate the effect Habbo had on RP as a whole. The mass exodus to LSRP led to the hay day on that server, many of the best contributors to the illegal faction and legislative scene were Habbo people. It really is fantastic to see those diehards still going at it in 2021 on that shitty hotel. I have now reconnected with people on GTAW from there I haven't spoken to in almost 15 years. Madness
