  1. Willing to part with a Kamacho. Second owner. Car's fully serviced and has been modified to truly shine in an offroad setting. Custom plate, willing to take care of the paperwork to change it to whatever you'd like. Asking 90k. Call / SMS 666-11 if interested!
  2. The truth is that GTA is a fast-paced RP setting where short emotes are, simply, highly preferable for both the environment and situations where plenty of people are involved. Trying to find more elaborate emoting style on the server is kind of like trying to find the love of your life in a Cali night club - the chance of you getting it is slim, just like you're not gonna get many meaningful emotes in a roleplay where you order a drink and do partydance emotes at the dancefloor. Not to mention the long emotes will get lost to the dozen shorter ones. GTA's setting simply favors shorter emotes - there's time and space for longer ones, and clubs, robberies, police stops or EMS situations are not necessarily any of 'em, but it's not impossible to apply them to situations outside of those. I personally keep my emotes short when my characters are out in public, but when the setting is more private I allow myself for either a full message or multi-para. I've found it working wonders, as whenever I post longer emotes, people that are involved in my RP usually try to follow suit. It's also okay if they don't - I simply enjoy my thing by writing longer, because it brings me joy. What bothers me, however, is the community's backlash towards the OP - emote length is a preference. Some people just enjoy writing more than others. There's literally zero need to ridicule them for it - you're here for the shooting and car chases, they're here to try and write a story with more than one-liners. It's a fucking video game where teens from the Balkans can pretend to be a middle-aged bikers having a gangbang in a strip club. Not one of us is better than the other. Sure, longer emote doesn't mean better writing, and sometimes it's just purple prose for the sake of putting out text. But some people enjoy it. Just let them.
  3. That would be a good idea, if it wasn't for the fact that people usually put in long and senseless descriptions that have as much substance as maculature munch. Some people don't even fill those out properly. A perfect example seen on the everyday would be like so: Gender: Female Age: 34 (but looks young like she's in early 20s!) Height: 5'0 Race: White Additional details: She had a beautiful face, voluptuous figure, and irresistibly curvy body. Her flawless skin glowed in the sunlight, and when she smiled, it was enough to make any man melt. Her soft-spoken voice was so captivating, it made time stand still. She was a woman of curves, both in body and in personality. She could be playful one moment, then serious the next. Her air of confidence made her even more irresistible. She was beautiful inside and out, and her presence was sure to draw attention. She was one of the most beautiful women any man could ever wish to meet. Jokes aside and to contribute, however, I personally think that the idea of having individual character ID attached to CCTV footage, as long as with a few more mandatory fields to fill within a reworked character description window (like race/ethnicity etc.) would be the best. Then again, this begets the question of people covering their faces, skin, tattoos, scars and whatnot, where a CCTV camera wouldn't be able to pick up the details. I don't envy you, brother. This is a tough nut to crack.
  4. I get anxiety attacks about texture loss IRL whenever I hear police sirens nearby.

    Mapping question

    Hello! There always comes a first time! Use F5 (press F6 if you can't move while at it to unfreeze) to look for a location ideally above the building, so it's the easiest to get the shape. Press F6 until you receive the message prompt about being frozen, spawn a floor - any floor. Press F5 again to exit mapping mode, and do /pentrance. Now whenever you enter the property you'll spawn wherever /pentrance was set! I personally place plain walls first to get the layout of windows right, and then replace them as I go.
  7. They are available I reckon - you've a thing called inactivity reports. If you're interested in owning a business, make a /report and ask about it. You can then request them in the next lease/property request cycle, or report the owner for inactivity. It's a makeshift solution, but until a list is made - it works. Surely worked for me. I know PM is working on compiling a list and cracking down on inactive business owners, but the team is small and it all takes time and effort. That said, +1, I do support the idea. My guess is "we don't care that you've spent weeks preparing to open this place up, applying, building, funneling tons of money - pay us extortion money or we get arson and CK perms" on criminal RPers' side is a great contributor to it. As someone who's recently acquired a business, it's sad to say but a big factor in the location choice was whether I'm gonna be extorted or not, and by whom, and it's been a concern of some of my friends trying to own businesses as well. Business owner and non-crim RPers are getting the shit end of the stick in that regard because RICO laws are non-existent on this server, and there's no rules regarding extortion - not to mention that when people do extort, they do it in the most shallow of manners just for the money gain, with no RP surrounding it whatsoever. Some people I know straight up gave up on trying because, sadly, business owners are on the losing side here, while IRL it's the criminals that take the risk. But who knows, maybe with some some groups' dissolutions we'll be able to see businesses on the rise again. Other than that - the money and effort required to acquire a business and keep it running is not proportional to just walking in and demanding money when you're a criminal. I lease a bar (as in, I don't own it YET, I'll be able to buy it off in 3 months), and have already funneled around 350-400k just to get it ready for the opening - I'm not even going to mention the tens of hours spent to plan the place, map it, prepare the menu and the graphics for it. Many people struggle with keeping the drive to keep going up because concepts grow stale and serve mostly as money-making schemes. I'm glad there's hoops to jump through to get there, because then we get people who REALLY want to provide RP with the business ownership. If I were to give an answer, I'd say the decline in business ownership relies on the community itself.
  8. +1 Also make the weather changes last more than 5 minutes at a time. No one likes rain that lasts for two minutes - we need more downpour days. Give people inside interiors an alert regarding weather changes, too, considering we can't live-sync is inside.
  9. That to me just means there's issues on both sides that need to be adressed, really. Both break-ins and warrant searches are bogus when it comes to admin presence. Imo it would be for the best if those were just SCHEDULED rather than report based but... that's just me.
  10. I can only assume robbery limits are not in place right now because the feature was released a week ago and the staff team is currently collecting data to improve it. Instead of suggesting to remove the feature - request harsher mechanic regulations on them, which is something I myself support. Limit it to a robbery per week per player. Make it more high risk high reward. Script robberies create RP scenarios for both robbers and LEOs that respond to the break-ins that carry actual risk of getting caught with them. As for non-RP ways of getting money - you literally get paid every hour to AFK in an apartment. Money means literally nothing on this server. It's just as valuable as air because it literally lies on the street. You get it for existing. It's just an addition to make it feel like the things you do carry some sort of a "reward" to them. The sooner you realize it the better off you'll be.
  11. Safes are invisible when you use the script robbery. Players can't script rob your place when someone's inside the property. This is honestly a great addition for illegal roleplayers, I don't know what the fuss is about, and most people fussing are legal roleplayers who didn't have to wait for hours to attempt a robbery under the eyes of an admin. As one of them, lemme lay it straight for ya, because it literally doesn't affect legal roleplayers being robbed in the slightest. You choose what was stolen if your property was robbed - was it a single necklace? A whole heap of furniture? A single stapler? The world is your oyster. Your property inventory is intact and players have no chance to look into it. Again, the robbing players can't see your safe. It's hidden when using the script. You don't lose money. You lose nothing off of it, other than having to RP something going missing. You can even opt to ignore it if you so wish, really, who stops you? The system is still in the live testing phase I reckon, so there will be adjustments done to it as time goes by - same as it was with fishing and trucking, as you've said. Rome was not built in one day. TL;DR /robhouse is great and literally does nothing for non-illegal roleplayers. -1
  12. +1, I'd love to have something to dive for! Would give a great incentive for some exploration RP.
