hillievonb Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The ridiculous crime rate in Los Santo isn't an IC problem, it's an OOC problem. There will never never be enough detectives and resources to handle just the homicides alone. Ever. Link to comment
Triple Seven Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Considering extortion isn't handled ICly, apparently? No idea if it's not, it used to be, but if it's not and it can actually lead to CK'ing the owner of the business, there is one very simple conclusion: Anyone partaking in extorting someone in the current situation is powergaming. Here's why: The only realistic thing for a civilian (informing law enforcement) does not work because the LSPD and LSSD don't have the resources to do something about it. If they do, the IC punishment isn't up to par and the criminal is back in their face within a day. Yet the civilian roleplaying not wanting to have anything to do with criminals is killed and the player loses their character. What can they do about it? Nothing, the RP is forced: If you don't cough up money, you die. If you report it to police, you die. Only way out? Pay up, allow crime to flourish even more in a city that is unrealistically filled with nothing but mobs from various countries and street gangs occupying the southern areas of the city in a way that would never happen in real life.

ThatDutchPerson Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 My above suggestion got denied because 2 days of jail time is appearntly IC and realistic. Link to comment
Triple Seven Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 @nateX This is definitely an OOC issue, people get powergamed due to the lack of IC consequences, which is unrealistic and with that, against the philosophy of the server as far as I'm aware. The closing of the suggestion is whatever, this needs to be fleshed out further for a good solution that works and adds realism. Link to comment

I don’t think the argument of realism should come in to play here. Do you expect people to sit in prison for months because they tried to take a bit of money off you? Link to comment

I would assume that you got the hint when it was shut down, instead you go to other thread and try to argue it... why? And yes, lack of RICO law regarding extortion at the moment is IC issue, something that can easily be tackled ICly if people actually tried. Link to comment
