Get rid of voice chat? Sure. Add a /backup or some other command to use during pursuits that puts a map blip for people to follow that updates every 10 seconds or so.

This doesn't make sense. How are you going to pick up your phone, unlock it, type in a number etc while evading at 100 MPH? Versus triggering a button and constantly having your radio transmit.

 

The vast majority of people under the age of 30 I know have their phone constantly hooked up to their car's Bluetooth system and constantly use their phone while driving with voice commands. You can call anyone without lifting your hands off the wheel in the year 2022.

 

If this is a text server, giving police the one-sided advantage of using voice to circumvent the limitations of a text-server makes no sense as a premise given how a criminal could just as easily have a hands-free conversation behind the wheel, it's just the accepted reality because it's historically been this way.

cat-eared lesbian roleplayers are the true alpha peak of this server and everybody trying to rp realism to a T is a cringy bozo

Trying to be 1:1 of portraying anything is boring. Having a faction be like how it is IRL in-game is incredibly lame. Of course I only mean this until we start having British police policies or Yakuza in Los Santos, but the sentiment still remains. 

[Snoof]

The people who only play to go clubbing and ERP are honestly pretty harmless and those who whine about them incessantly and go around agitating them ICly for it are a hundred times more obnoxious and fully deserving of the PF licensed Clint Eastwooding they get for their efforts.

Having Yakuza in Los Santos would be a lot less egregiously silly than a lot of stuff that's already out there on the server, in terms of amounts and behavior. It's like fixating on the shape of the buttons on Captain America's WWII uniform to criticize the movie's historical accuracy.

Nah, don't even bother. There are people in the LGBT+ community who overly sexualize everything and they make their sexuality their whole personality. They are a loud minority in the community and everyone hates them, even fellow members. It's the same on this server - there are normal LGBT+ characters who are developed and happen to be trans, gay or whatever, and then there are overly fetishized/sexualized characters roleplayed by losers who can barely type with one hand as the other one strokes their dick.

Leave them be, ignore those people. They skidaddle around server rules already, if I remember correctly you are not allowed to make a character purely for ERP, yet they still do. They would skidaddle around the application as well (and yeah I know the application part is somewhat of a joke).

They still live and play with other people, probably because they're like I said - losers with no life - who milk donator money out of their parents each month.

 

Jokes aside, like I said - leave them to fuck each other like they do right now. Most people avoid them, I avoid them as well. I have a trans character and could pass an application to roleplay as one if there was one, but there is no need. I'm doing fine having fun on my normal character, let them people have fun on their overly fetishized characters.

We could argue about trans characters more but like I said - who cares? I don't care if they roleplay being a MtF who's been on pills for 10 years and yet their genitals didn't shrink or infertility didn't get to them. People will not roleplay the "disadvantages" of that life because they're here to "have fun", meaning they want to specifically roleplay ejaculating all over someone even though they've been on pills which prevent them from doing that for 10 years. That's FUN to those people, to me and you FUN might be roleplaying a character who contributes to the server in any way.

For exampke, people will argue that not every trans woman gets the aforementioned disadvantages or whatever but we just go back to the start - who, cares?
I, as a Player, fall under the trans umbrella, and am I offended by it or something? No, I don't care, there are better things to worry about than someone being retarded and lacking research to roleplay an overly fetishized character with some other overly fetishized character. Just two people having fun with each other, as long as they mind their own business.

 

I do not think anyone is genuinely overly mad about this issue or like, offended by it. Because if anyone is, they need to really go touch grass. Personally if someone's story doesn't really click in character, I call them out on it. If it is borderline unrealistic and/or stupid, I totally ignore them. If it's that plus it hinders my roleplay, I report it.

If you're going to enforce a no voice chat policy for illegal roleplayers, enforce it for LEO roleplayers as well. Them being allowed to utilize it for pursuits because "pursuits are difficult and impossible without it" is nepotism. It's a game set in a fictional city. It's okay if some criminals get away because everyone is using text chat. LEO respawn anyway if they die with all their equipment. You cannot preach that you weed out play-to-win mentality when this environment and culture is perpetuated.

I would bet the issue is that LEO voice channels are supposedly monitored for metagaming and all that, while you can't monitor some random people's discord calls. Not saying that it works as intended or what not. A solution could be to make some TeamSpeak channels available to non-LEOs but yeah.
