So... I want some opinions on what I as a burnt-out player on GTAW should do... Because every time I HOP on there is NOTHING open... Or NOBODY to RP with... Because everyone's busy whispering in groups or talking to their cliques it's like they don't talk to anyone outside of their group. Honestly, I'm assuming it's me just being burnt out or just tired of Text-Rp in general. Like don't get me wrong GTAW is fun with friends or other people. Problem is you can't "Find RP" or other people to play with because they're busy whispering in groups EVERYWHERE you go like a bunch of anti-social kids.. Like I''ve joined LSPD enjoyed it for a bit then got terminated mostly for inactivity as I had a busy schedule I also didn't like that as it was filled with OOC toxicity.. (There was always some BS with people in the faction) (Because God forbid you defend yourself against someone being an ASSHOLE). I still have yet to join a crime faction because I overly feel like it's going to be the same thing with people, so I refrain from attempting to join one but I will possibly give it another try. Before writing this post I literally hopped on GTAW not too long ago. Stared at my screen for like 5 minutes then got off because there was nothing open of interest... I walked around looking for people and to no avail NOBODY even stops to even at least have a conversation with you, you can't find people on the street at night either because everyone's just busy having ERP sessions at night or busy doing crime. Don't get me started on people recommending "Passive RP"... What is there to gain doing passive RP? When no one is around to at least see or commentate on what your character is doing? Not to mention.. Another issue I'm having is the /to text command. When I'm directly speaking to someone... Apparently people can still miss what someone has said despite "/to" BEING a PINK EXCLAMATION mark in the text.. That's honestly just a shitty excuse for people to ignore your character when chat isn't even moving. Then they have the audacity to complain when you form IC beef with them because they decided to ignore you. Now this may sound like I'm ranting but in my perspective it's just downright annoying being on GTAW to only hop off after driving mindlessly for an hour because nobody even gives your character a chance to at least have some sort of impact because they're busy talking to strictly faction members or people they OOCLY know outside of GTAW. I have more to say.. But if anyone can give me some hindsight or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I CAN DO as a player to further enjoy this server. Because by the looks of it. This may be my last year playing GTAW.

I got arrested accused of "hit and run" and "homicide temptative". The thing is that (if it's because of the only recent incident I had) it simply did not happen. And even if it did, the RP that went after it was completely invented. I had a small discussion with some guy at a garage, so I decided to leave it (that guy ended up being an off-duty officer). The thing is that maneuvering to exit in my car, I apparently ran him over. I left the scene because I did not hit him on my screen. He ended up calling the cops and charging me of "hit and run" and "homicide tentative". That's the first problem but the thing is that apparently when I left, he RPed as if I ran him over at a high speed (at least above 50 mph), although that's impossible when trying to exit a garage: "Once Oscar started up the engine of his vehicle, the suspect sped directly into Officer XXXXXX, giving absolutely no chance or the time to dodge the charge, injuring his legs in the process, knocking him down to the ground. XXXXX was admitted into the emergency room at Davis Central Hospital at around 12:20 with grievous leg injuries. Further details on the injuries that XXXXX sustained include bleeding, bruising, and swelling around the shin area of both legs." The third problem is that when I got pulled over, it looked like if the guy that I supposedly ran over had read my licence plate and he knew who I was (although we dont know each other and my licence plate is hard to read (on purpose) "B8BB8B8") since I had a warrant on my name, and there was no one to confirm my identity. The only thing he had was the description of my drafter (which again, is not a unique car). I'd like to solve this as soon as possible since I have a 30 hours arrest in my character and also to be sure that this kind of things doesn't happen to other people and everyone is ensured to RP properly.
