Name them? I tried to get them and was told by LFM I'd need to become a faction. You try to request them through special lease requests, not only do you have to wait 8months and counting for those to open up. But you'll simply be told you'll have to go through LFM for these type of things. I don't mean to be rude and I can see you have good intentions but unfortunately this is going to be entirely restricted to official factions as of now. Enjoy the monopoly though.

I dont need to enjoy anything. It's not in my interest to be a monopoly because good competition is what makes you good and survivable. I'm as happy that I can do CIT's as I am that Bobcat will be able to - the more we are, the better everyone becomes - fight for domination.

Let's not forget that it all takes work and dedication. I started this faction without even a business script in 2019 with personal finances (ig ones obviously) and 4 years later now, we are still player-ran (we receive no money from LFM whatsoever), everything is funded ourselves.

We've done years of CIT loading for absolutely free and without any script support for years now and this is something to reward active roleplay.

Not to mention that a lot of the security stuff available exist due to us. Example - The security buffalo and the security fugitive patrol cars are both provided by me (helped by another G6 employee), which are free to use by other factions that need  them (Bobcat, SAPA, etc). This is what started the whole "official" security business and the mods are free (not limited to G6). I've been a "member" of the security faction stance in the server and other related factions can confirm - SAPA, ULSA security, Bobcat, i've helped each and have organized discussions, even offered to make them liveries just so the ycan have access to the car as well.

Not sure how anything you said is relevant at all, I just told you not everyone wants to be a faction. Anyway, not going to continue discussing this here and derail the thread.

 

Curious to know what happens if ATM's don't get filled up. What if the official factions aren't fast/reliable enough to fill these things up? Will they just be empty or will the script eventually fill them up automatically?

They'll remain empty. It's been looked stats-wise in the logs to determine how much ATMs actually get used and I'm told  that the ATM fill-ups wont be as frequent as everyone thinks - aka players dont withdraw from ATMs as much as they do from banks.

If it gets worrying about casinos, well - what casino IRL has an infinite money supply outside the establishment? Your drive would be a bit longer to the next bank, if the ATM does not work. You got a card withdrawal limit every 24 hours in real life, dont you? It shouldn't be possible to withdraw a million out of an ATM either way.

I’d rather have this kind of illegal RP opportunities than getting mugged every other day. Keep creating RP where it’s fun for both the security company/victim and the criminals.

 

Will it be fun for security? Cause I expect it ll just end in them being dead because criminals have drug HP, autos and shoot first.

, most of the "shocking videos" of CIT robberies happen in places like South Africa.

 

I keep saying this, we need to accept that we live ICly in a city with a crime culture that resembles that of South Africa or Haiti. Once people accept this, it's easier to accept everything crazy that happens ICly as being much more plausible.

Only if someone can play Lucky Kunene and we get ZEF culture.

Can't wait to have to report for it, wait 4 hours and miss the chance entirely 

[Paenymion]

[Cartoonhead]

If you decide to RP security then surely you’re ready to, you know, do your job from time to time?
