On average, I get into at least one shootout a day as a detective. Right now the gun market is completely oversaturated, and the current rules encourage people to shoot out rather than cuff up. I get into a shootout more often than I'm able to effect an arrest. That should speak volumes about the current state of the server, the priorities of I/LFM, and just how silly this rule is. If this rule were to actually be enforced, which I can confidently say it won't be, and if LEOs were actually going to abide by it, you'd legitimately the cop population drop by about half at any given time due purely to injury RP. The only person knows what they are talking about here rather than going back and forth on whether cops are intentionally getting into shootouts or not. Link to comment

There are people who spend a lot of time online and, as a(n obvious) result, get injured a lot, one way or another. This would turn 25%-50% of their playtime into role-playing various injuries, over and over again, which is anything but realistic. Do you think that, realistically speaking, a police officer can survive getting shot, say, 5 times, each time with 4-5 bullets, being ran into, being ran over a few times, stomped out of consciousness, stabbed, hit, and also get in various crashes in all sorts of cases? No human being could realistically survive that, let alone return on the job, ever. Yet if you play for, say, 6 hours a day, you'll get all that by the end of the month. There's nothing realistic about it. Role-playing injuries and the aftermath should be a must for everone. How much emphasis someone puts on a specific scenario and its repercussions should, however, be up to everyone. There's no point in forcing someone to role-play something in this way. They'll do it because they have to more than because they want to and no one will enjoy it. Don’t get your character hurt. 🤯 1 Link to comment

If you can't roleplay your injuries and take a break from your duty for an hour then idk what to even say. Most scenes take around 30 minutes or more to get concluded anyways. I'm pretty sure you can take a 30 minute break after to do some passive RP instead of hopping straight into chases/shootouts again. Edited February 17, 2022 by sCrax 1 Link to comment

The problem with this is when you extensively role-play your character having been injured 45 times that month. Still a double standard - a LEO gets shot? They spend one hour, on the clock, role-playing their injuries. Anyone else gets shot? There's no rule for that, besides the general decency which should apply in the former case. Link to comment

Yeah but your job as a LEO is more demanding. If you get shot and survive, you won't just jump straight back on-duty. Plus you don't lose shit as a cop. So what's the issue with waiting around 30 minutes till you get back on-duty? Don't worry, chases will go on even after those 30 minutes. You won't miss out. Cops can at least take that time to engage in some other roleplay and develop their characters more. Most cops here just hop IG to go on-duty and have no development besides that.
