  1. I have two concerns. 1. Implementation of this update What I miss in the whole discussion so far and something that I also wasn't able to clarify by reading the first post, is how all of this is to be implemented. I'm not well versed on much of the current situation when it comes to the faction system, so you'll have to forgive me for that, but when I look at the list of current official factions I can see factions that have been around since anywhere between 2019 and two months ago. I can only assume that some of these factions that have been around for a few months will have quite some power and reputation on the streets, perhaps even more than a faction that's been around for two years but is a slow burner, is less active, or has a different type of presence. By implementing this update, the risk is that factions are suddenly set back in what has been a natural course of development up to this point. I am worried that it will create an immediate power vacuum which only benefits factions that happen to have been around for a little bit longer, regardless of whether they deserve it from an in character point of view. I am worried that it will create an even bigger gap between powerhouses and up-and-coming talent. A way to avoid this is making all the current official factions the same tier when this update is pushed, but then again that will benefit some and damage others. If the proposed idea by IFM is to hand select which current factions should be in which tiers based on their in character development, then why even do this update at all, as that contradicts the exact reasoning for bringing this update in the first place. Will it only be applied to new groups hitting the mark of a faction? Because if so, that just creates an even bigger gap. I see no easy way to implement this without damaging the current in character flow of things, and I believe it should be an important subject before even talking about the different tiers. 2. I think the desire of this community (from the administrative side) to have everything streamlined and work like an administrative operation is getting somewhat out of control. Whilst I agree and praise for the many functions and schemes that do work like a charm with a streamlined process on here, I have to point out that some things just require common sense and human research. Ticking checkboxes isn't always the route to take, and I think when it comes to factions longevity is not the most important aspect. It takes tailored solutions and opportunities based on in character development, faction concept and quality of role play that is provided to the server. The fine print says that whilst longevity is a rough guideline, quality of role play will be taken into account to bypass said guidelines. That basically brings us back to the situation before this update, where selectivity had the upper hand. I fail to see what changes, apart from from some tiers that actually seem to limit what a faction can and can not do on OOC terms instead of just basing the decision on what the faction has achieved in character. Not everything is suitable for a checkbox.
  2. When it's added to the game, I'll add it here as well. But it had been removed again as far as I'm aware.
  3. You’re free to use whatever you want. For me personally seeing pictures is more convenient, that’s why I made this thread. 👍🏻
  4. This thread already exists, made by @Moe, however it was pretty outdated (61 vehicles missing). So I remade it myself with a few changes and it is up-to-date again for 2022. If you find any errors please let me know. I wrote out all the vehicle names so you can use CTRL+F to find a specific vehicle.

  5. I think as a landlord you should just make a solid contract, like any good landlord would. On top of that there is the Landlord Tenant Act which provides strict guidelines for both the landlord and the tenant to ensure a safe tenancy period for both. I fail to see how this adds anything to the immersion. Most landlords have their tenants forum account and use it as a means to communicate using IC emailing.
  6. FOR RENT Weekly: $20.700 Monthly: $80.700 A recently renovated standalone apartment is now available for rent in Vespucci. The modern design of the finishes is complimented by timeless furniture and great views all around. The property comes with TWO balconies, one facing Downtown and one facing the ocean. In short: - Fully furnished - One bedroom, one bath - Double balcony (front and back) - Ocean/beach view - Downtown view - Private parking below the property - Walking distance from Vespucci Beach and nearby shops (( Preference for long term tenancy agreement for landlord-tenant role play opportunities, furniture changes/requests are discussable with monthly tenancy agreements and longer )) Interested? Send an email to [email protected] (( Forum PM ))
  7. FOR RENT Weekly: $17.700 Monthly: $68.700 A garage unit is now available for rent in Vespucci. The garage fits a single car (room for two if and when the seating area is removed). The property comes with a work bench, computer desk and sofa. The alley in which the garage is situation has two entrance points. (( Furniture changes are discussable )) (( Furniture changes are discussable )) Interested? Send an email to [email protected] (( Forum PM ))
  8. It would be nice to have a section within the IC boards of the forums where players can depose contracts between themselves and other players. Perhaps the section can be created in such a way to not allow any posts to be altered by regular players (even the OP). Down the line this could also open up opportunities for introducing a notary public who can create and depose notary acts for players against a small fee. This aids the legal scene in civil suits and can potentially create more role play for those who wish to role play attorneys or perhaps down the line even notary public. It also forces people to take contracts more serious when for example renting out a condo to someone.
  9. Currently rented out. If you have messaged me you will be notified if/when the property becomes available again. Thanks for all the interest.
  10. Up for rent again. Note: changes have been made. Interested? Send an email to [email protected] (( Forum PM ))
  11. I think a healthy mix of understanding your character and feeling what they would feel while at the same time knowing when to separate yourself as a real person is key here. In order to role play a character successfully and portray them as if they were a real person takes some level of empathy towards your character. However, that is different from taking IC events personal or even being affected by it on an OOC level. I think if you feel sadness over having to kill off someone who you call a friend on Discord, you have gone too far across the line of empathy towards your character. Which is a bad thing, because it is likely to lead to your OOC person influencing your character in a way that is unnatural towards the development of your character. I cherish the days when role play was done entirely in-game long before Skype became the predecessor of Discord and the eventual downfall of IC-is-IC.
