What are some examples of unrealistic escalations that you've seen on the server?

As far as unrealistic escalations I'm talking about situations where it can be a small argument and then it turns into a brawl before eventually ending with 2 or more parties shooting at each other. Have you seen something like it or similar?


This is the biggest one we see and we are continuing to try to place in regulations/preventive measures to have people stop escalation small situations into massive shootings.

People can link videos/photos all they want but forget that the State of Texas in itself is about the same size (with mainly talking about the sizes of the State+Country, and then add in that Texas has close to 30M people itself in the State) of England and France put together, let alone the other 49 States that make the USA. California itself, has close to 40 million people.. Tell me that you see a shooting everyday in person and you would be lying to yourself and everyone else around you. News and Media sources will put out shootings, stabbings, fights turning into shootings-- but let's be honest, that's one situation of a Country that is populated of 329M as of 2020. Some of our Counties alone in the USA are the size of some Countries in terms of population. 

The reason we want these small escalations to stop is because we quite literally are not a server of 329 million people.. We have a server that you see around 500-1000 people in daily. You see more shootings in a span of five hours here because someone said that your shoes are too big for your feet, and somehow that brings out the inner rage in people that activate a fight or flight mode, and they obviously always choose the fight mode.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to poor escalation? When it comes to organized crime RP, specifically Eurasian organized crime, the levels of 'realistic' escalation goes out the window. This is due to precedence set IRL by almost all mobsters who have done outrageous things, things that would get you reported on GTA:W for poor escalation. A few threats on the phone, and then instantly shot in the head. Or sometimes without warning your kneecaps will be blown off for mere disrespect. Why? Mainly because of reputation, to maintain reputation, to build reputation, to make a name for themselves. In the gruesome world of unforgiving mobsters, especially in the eastern part of the world, the mentality is entirely different. Being known as a 'reasonable guy' will earn you nothing. People react quickly and irrationally. A narrative that goes "that guy killed an associate from an argument so be careful around him," goes a lot further than "that guy is a reasonable, level-headed man, you can probably try to ask for more." In the world of crime, your reputation and your name is everything. And most would rather be feared.
