Chasing a crew to do some mining, prospecting, aggregates, or similar RP. Shoot me a message if this tickles your fancy. I'm Aussie - just as a point about timezones/activity.

'Blackbeard' ..is semi-retired, and recently moved to Blaine County due to his family leaving him. He sometimes spends weeks away at a time for work, where he works as a technical and saturation diver for a number of different offshore oil & gas companies. When not fishing, hunting, and generally causing trouble in his spare time, he often does diving jobs for cash.

Vinh Tran and his crew in the Aussie TZ. Akuji kai ~2010?

I'd be very keen to see this actually work out long-term. I RPed with Carson for a short time on an Aussie character, and had an absolute ball for the few interactions I got to have (TZ issues).

Would this really be a bad thing if we were to roleplay in a romanticized western movie? I arguably would say that for those who are interested (not everyone is going to be keen on the era for RP), realism can take a backseat and let people just enjoy their characters and really invest in one another without this constant OOC nagging of what's realistic or not. Westerns are entertaining for a reason, why not just emulate that in a game. With all that said - I don't think we'll be seeing in through Rage. Perhaps another.

Penalize/Get rid of trucking companies that thrive on OOC micromanagement. Promote, subsidize, reward companies that encourage actual RP.

DarkAndDreary indeed.

God yes.

You literally cannot deny that the popularity for soccer amongst players is because a large portion of them are going to be European. Yes, Soccer is getting bigger in the US. Yes, Soccer is the 'world game'. No, it doesn't explain the disparity IC. No one will force you to watch a sport you don't enjoy, nor ban you from discussing soccer IC. But don't pretend its for any other reason that IC/OOC mixing lol.

I can't go to a national park IRL cause I'm afraid the tour guide (read: park ranger) will terry frisk me.

Anecdotal. How many traffic stops happen in total, vs. how many result in a shootout? It's great to mention examples, but it offers nothing in the way of an actual argument.

Is there a fresh invite link

Definitely think it would be something that needed to come from top-down. Like I said in my original post (and mainly due to lack of interaction with the faction, wouldn't be right to comment on), wouldn't necessarily need to replace the LE function, but compliment it. Big props for trying.

Something I would be really passionate about once I start playing again. Albeit in Australia, I've worked in regulation and currently studying postgrad ag science primarily around land management. I don't mind the idea of LE per se but from what I can really see is a lot of the RP is limited within the parks, the counties, and those players in it. I've noted earlier comments about Fish and Wildlife and it appears to have been well received. Approaching legal factions to discuss emergency spill or cleanup procedures. I could see a lot of RP coming out of Aurum for example in ensuring they have correct environmental protection plans in place. Can not be a "show us your plan or we'll shut you down", more like working together to devise the plan. Flora/fauna surveys. Consulting with SAPR prior to any major developments, etc. Along the lines of planning approval, but having SAPR ecologists surveying areas to ensure it seems appropriate to bulldoze. Creating publications on animals in urban areas (eg: racoons?) Contracting. Assume for some reason there is a sudden growth in wild boar population. In real life, these animals can cause major damage to farmland, etc. Go through all the RP of contracting hunters, going through legal channels to allow for a hunt in a prohibited area, then conducting a hunt with a lot of hunters simultaneously, and the issues and tribulations that can obviously cause. Wildfires. Not sure on how possible this is, but discussions and subsequent RP working with FD/State on wildfire zones. Follow up RP - managing fuel reduction burns, burning off. Lot of work with FD with S&R as well I imagine. California is huge for wildfires obviously. Firebans, etc also a possibility. Big fishing update coming obviously. However would be cool to see more in the way of RP surround SCUBA. It's cool underwater. Random events like shark sightings at a beach or two. Going through process of shoot v catch. RP surround planes. Link to above point on wildfires. Use planes to release fish (look it up, its cool as fuck). S&R Farming. RPing random site checks (with players if anyone RPs farming) ensuring chemical application rates etc are all above board. Working with State on legislation re: when you can/cannot spray herbicides/fertilizers, etc. Construction. Organizing contractors with construction or trucking factions to maintain trails, walkways. Trucking factions would have fun I'm sure RPing a transportation of whatever supplies necessary to maintain cable car station for example. Forgive my ignorance if any of this is already done. Limited personal experience with the faction.

I've only played on the server maybe all of an hour (and won't be back on until new computer arrives that can actually run GTA), nor have I RPed with this faction. All that I will say is I've found security factions often fill an important role in the sense of taking on new players who may be less experienced at RP - or at least to the point that a server like this expects, and gives them an avenue to learn to interact with other characters, develop their skills, and gain an exposure to a range of different types of roleplay. I dare say it provides a niche that people naturally might gravitate towards when starting off. Similar to real life how many outfits don't require much experience, education or training to start off. They will tend to take anyone with half a brain. This is all from personal experience in my isolated little corner of Australia.

Someone start a Bass Pro where we can talk about fishing. Gracias.
