Maybe civilians should stay civilians and realize their actions in character could have consequences. Just because you’re a civilian doesn’t mean you’re untouchable nor does it mean they’re not going to target you if you provoke them on social media lol. sounds like this thread was made because you or your friends bit off more than they could chew and now you’re upset about it.

Look all I’m sayin is if you call the cops and the charges are gonna be multiple felonies you might just end up being another one.

That’d be like saying gangs should CK more when they get attacked lol. The crime in the server is rampant due to the player base and it isn’t a bad thing, it makes the city feel more alive and rampant. It also adds a danger aspect to it. That being said, these guys respond to shootouts all the time IC and they theoretically get into it more than the gangs because they’re there to enforce IC rules and also play as a deterrent to gangs in general. Point I’m making is, the police department is there to partly directly combat the gangs, whereas the gangs aren’t here to directly combat the police. It’s more indirect than anything. It’d make no sense to make them character kill and restart their characters from scratch every other week. It’d also be a paperwork and roster nightmare, and with them already being short staffed it’d be a disaster. I don’t see the point from an OOC standpoint and although the goal of the server is to be realistic it’s realistic to an extent because it’s a game.

Didn’t realize a standard Windows OS feature was a third party modification; I don’t really see the point enforcing something that everybody has done even before GTA V RP. AutoHotKeys I can understand, but a copy and paste is limited to what you’ve already pre written and is only useful for one line unless you want to tab out and tab back in/switch to a second monitor and at that point it’s useless. The only time I’ve seen people copy and paste are when they’re in high tense situations like drivebys and attacks. In which case it’s not really an advantage. I’m also sure truckers are tired of having to constantly type the same command over and over again.

Neither is bad. Both have their ups and downs but the real issue is people not understanding how to portray the American way of life and try to portray their characters with a rough outline of themselves and what they would do as opposed to what their character would do. The only gripe I have about legal role players is the failure to understand that in the U.S. (server rules aside), anything can happen at anywhere. As someone trying to role-play an illegal character in some situations you will run into people who will be negative towards you if you do something as simple as rob them in an area that looks just a bit upscale (even if it’s hidden from plain view). In a sense, some people I’ve encountered and tried to just role-play my character will immediately get upset OOC like you’re trying to ruin their playing experience. On the other hand, most illegal role-players are too concerned with being the biggest and baddest guy in town that CANNOT die or has to be the absolute TOUGHEST instead of just role-playing the average gang member, drug dealer, or what have you. A lot of these guys also suffer from not being able to accurately depict an American gang member and think they’re somewhat invincible with no regard for their own safety. The only way to fix this is just please; do your research and be kind to each other. Stop having the mentality you have to win over on one another 24/7 and just have fun. It’s a game, not a job. All of this aside, normally people do have a good understanding of each other and the backbone of the server is dependent on the relationship between illegal and legal role-players.

It also gives the city workers IC something to do by cleaning it off.

“boohoo the gangs do gang activity that doesn’t involve me but I’m gonna insert myself into it anyway because this is a real problem” my unpopular take: crying about the gang problem OOC doesn’t solve anything IC and then going to those neighborhoods looking for some sort of “interesting” role-play other than getting robbed and possibly killed because you’re not from the area is dumb for both you and your character. and if you’re an illegal faction and you try to hoe another one crying about it OOC is lame when you got exactly what you expected. don’t expect to stride if you can’t step.

yea reward good IC character traits with OOC rewards. sick wit it.

mfs want a name so bad

but the server is based on la 🤷‍♂️

won't talkin to you, was talkin to OP but okay. 🙄

there's countless people in real life that are scared to leave their own home unless it's work or chore related. if you don't like it move to a better area being that one is so bad, it's an IC issue.

if i did what you said this would be metagaming so no

this. there are loopholes to everything the ATF governs plus state mandates. that's why gun stores sell california and new york legal semi automatic rifles for purchase. although the state does ban certain weapons, it can be seen as an infringement of federal rights and the supreme court can strike it down see: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06/05/california-assault-weapons-ban-overturned/ all it really takes is for a team of legal experts to challenge it. but at the end of a day, its a game and you have to have a certain restriction which I understand, with the ATFs new online forms I can manufacture me own suppressor from a catch can for two hundred bucks. obviously, you can't do that on this server for oblivious reasons.
