Isn't it time we bring an end to the monopoly lssd and lspd had over the tactical rp scene for generations and just let factions do whatever the fuck they please as long as its realistic and doesn't affect others?

i complain in this very same topic after taking the L on a situation

i don't think a "gtaw sex offenders list" is necessary considering right now even with the current punishments, people go through the whole trouble of changing their discord, getting a new forum account, ucp and all its just extra workload on admins and other people that have to manage a virtual list of people too horny to play a game

the solution is a perma ban. nothing else. -1

The problem with the current weather is inconsistency. It is really stupid to go from sunny-smog-rain-heavy rain and back to sunny over and over again. If we're having rain, it should go on for hours at a time, just like real life, and gradually turn back into sunny weather rather than a 10-minute storm followed by extreme sunny weather. Also, smog does not mean cloudy, change the skybox used for cloudy weather as well.

Was a metaphor.

SASP & SanFire are small because as people have already said, they are niche factions that serve certain purposes and they do not get to experience what LSSD and LSPD see in a day. Not everyone will be interested in investigating arsons or patrolling the state parks. SAHP is like a Swiss pocket knife that serves as a roleplay avenue for every aspect of roleplay other than stuff like arsons. It should also be noted that SAHP was suggested multiple times by the majority of the player base, but LFM never implemented it. Also, I would rather see 300 LEO roleplayers evenly spread across multiple agencies rather than letting a selected few have monopoly over it.

What LFM and people don't understand right now is that no LEO faction should have a monopoly over an aspect of the game, niche or not. If we're having niche state-wide agencies, we should also have a state agency that is directly tasked with state-wide law enforcement duties. In this case, this would be CHP's counterpart, SAHP. It's a concept that has been tried and implemented successfully on multiple communities across Rage, Alt, and FiveM- hell, even in local GTAW clones such as GTAW RU. The whole argument of "SanFire / SASP recruits backdoor their way into PDSD" can easily be fixed by implementing a new law that forces all law enforcement agencies to have the same training standards just like IRL California POST. Even though this won't entirely get rid of the backdooring, this will at least ensure that the person transferring possesses basic LEO knowledge, therefore requiring fewer resources.

okey :D

what the fuck

As I said, they're also to blame if they're not taking the needed precautions such as security or CCTV to avoid getting robbed. But the current problem is, that people get away with millions at a time because there's no investigative roleplay and current rules expect you to surrender even if you're armed or have security with you. IRL, getting more money comes with huge risks because at some point every cop in the city will be looking for you, but in GTAW, people just get away with grabbing millions and never get caught due to how shit and limiting the rules are. Changing the rules in a way that people can actually protect the money or cops can actually investigate a million-dollar robbery would honestly solve this issue ICly. Also, gambling income is taxed IRL. Developers should add a script where the more money you win, the more you get taxed to avoid turning the place into a money-farming scheme.

Legals want robberies and crime to suddenly disappear and Illegals want to get away with every single crime they commit... GTAW never changes. Anyway, back to the topic. Making people wait 30 business days to get a robbery approval from an admin is just not necessary and will just cause additional workload on the admins that need to approve the slightest movement of people in the server. Make criminals understand that huge money comes with huge risks and they can't just simply get away with robbing/kidnapping someone in front of a packed casino to get their money. Just because you saw a video of someone getting robbed in El Salvador or the Mexican border doesn't mean you are going to be able to pull this shit off in WeHo (which would be packed with security and cops). Another fact is that casino owners / rich people need to understand that they are a constant target of robbery since... well.. they're absolutely rich and scream "Rob Me!" most of the time. And for this exact reason, you'd have a shit ton of CCTVs and even security to protect the customers and the money. If you don't have the measures to stop this from happening, you're also to blame. It goes both ways, making people get a robbery permission on /report will not change anything. Let criminals take the risk if they want the money but at the same time, let the cops actually investigate the robbery without pulling useless OOC rules that were conveniently made to benefit a Davis (M) rather than the genuine illegal and investigative roleplayers
