Timeout so we can stop attacking each other personally!! One thing I can say is that prison times are being reworked so you will never have to spend 900 minutes in prison doing nothing again. Hopefully this encourages people to not die to avoid prison - it is my opinion that IC prison should not be an OOC punishment, but should still carry some real consequences for your character. Forcing a person to CK is not on the table as we really do not like limiting players, and especially do not want to force people to pay for a namechange. Asset removal may be, we are likely going to look at reintroducing medical bills now that we know how the economy is playing out, and will likely look into some rule for enforcing valuing your character's life outside of the existing Common Courtesy rule. I think we should be giving players more freedom and trusting them a lot more than we did on SA-MP, but there is a clear line where we need to limit that Illegal factions complained that LSPD/LSSD were constantly in their turf forcing them to do anything inside a property. We limited the amount of police patrols through gang neighbourhoods and it's turning into a warzone. This is exactly why police presence was so high in the first place, and is why it's going to return to that. I will be looking at ways to remove assets from players permanently in a way that is realistic. An idea I have is repossession of houses raided by police that are being used as stash houses - this will force players, at the very least, to avoid being detected by police. Another one would be repossession of cars used in felonies, more than just impounding it for 6 hours. Medical bills set by the government to help fund their budgets is another idea of mine, with the ability to increase it if lots of people are dying (more dying = more money). Most people do not care about their character dying because they lose nothing but time from it. That will change. We will go over this thread and potentially unlock it if we can remain civil.

The idea of being restricted into a hospital sounds a bit like prison, though it doesn't exactly align with how things happen in real life. A few caveats: 1. In the US, you can leave a hospital at any time unless you're under arrest (in which case they usually handcuff or restrain you to the bed) 2. What if nobody else is in the hospital? No hospital staff or players? Now it seems like admin jail... lonely. -- A counter-proposal: What about permanent injuries after going into a brutally-wounded state? If you "die" you are actually brutally wounded, and some number of injuries are added to the character that have long-term effects like reducing speed, making it harder to aim, etc. - that way, if you die a lot you are accruing many injuries over time that have detrimental effects on the character. The only way to remove these long-term ailments might be to receive several treatments (one per day, for a certain number of days) from a doctor at the hospital. Respawning at the hospital is fine, but in my view it's pointless unless it's coupled with an incentive to actually undergo long-term treatment. Otherwise, you get situations where Tyrone is in the hospital recovering then within 2 hours of being released he's in another shootout. With injuries he would be severely limited in his ability to participate in a shootout until he receives hospital treatment for a few days. Example: 1. Tyrone gets shot in a gunfight, he gets hit with a few 9mm rounds. 2. He goes into "brutally wounded" state. 3. When he respawns, he is in the hospital - still "wounded" but not brutally wounded. 4. If he has outstanding charges, he instead respawns in the prison hospital with charges automatically applied. 5. If he leaves the hospital immediately, he will have a bunch of impediments - shaky screen, hard to aim, slower run speed, etc. 6. He must receive 3 "treatments" to remove these impediments. Doctors can do /operation on him once every 12 hours. This incentivizes him to get medical treatment. - This number of treatments would also increase with different injuries, higher calibers, etc. so that the recovery process is much more. It would also stack, so if you haven't completed treatments but are shot again you will have those disabilities and treatments added on. This is an incentive to stay out of conflict while recovering. - For example, getting hit by a bunch of 5.56x45 might mean 10 treatments required (10 days minimum to recovery fully), while a 9mm might mean only 2-3 treatments required. - Maybe drugs like morphine, etc. can be used as a way to "temporarily remove" the disability effects, at the cost of negative effects long-term. @Clown_Taxi suggested something very similar with respect to death being brutal wounding instead, and charges leading to automatic imprisonment. Admittedly i'm being convinced.

Watch your language, this a thread for civil discourse and your passive aggressiveness nor your toxicity will be allowed here.

Do what yall can do decrease the constant DM. Ive gon days where Im only able to rp for a few minutes, then spend the rest of my time driving around, witnessing DM, or being DM myself. There’s not much else illegal factions can do, other than shoot each other. No one is hardly buying drugs. (All drugs are the same and give no benefits. Like atleast add tiers.) Its always “lemme get some metal”, or “fuck the dope, niggas need straps!” create actual scripts that will aide roleplay, and people WILL ROLEPLAY!

I actually really like this imo.

After a 25 year stretch, Phillip "Short-Cake" Battaglia, begins rebuilding his reputation.

I'm confused about the LSRP economy right now - this is more of the PF side to be honest - the PF gun store prices increased by 100% which obviously comes out to being a OOC problem - when guns on the street are cheaper. I can buy a AK47 for maybe $3K which is still cheaper then a pistol inside a gun store. I think maybe admins should focus on the PF licenses owners as in whos using guns for gang related things OOCLY aswell instead of interfering with the economy more. I don't know this is just what I personally think LMK.

Ripped this from another thread: After skimming through this thread and reading the above response, I can see some of you are really into giving people OOC timeouts as a consequence. While I understand people should be held accountable in some way for their roleplay, especially those who only go around to rob people and don't actively contribute to the roleplay scene, I don't believe locking them out of their character is the way to go. Sure, you can say this will make them make more careful decisions, but it can also disgruntle the player into leaving. Quality over quantity is amazing, but looking at it as someone who plays on GMT-8 where there are 50 plays on by the time I get home, I feel this would lower the playerbase during a critical stage of its life. Over time and as the server grows, I believe my stance would change, however, I don't believe this is something that needs to be implemented right now. Instead, I believe that there should be less leniency toward robbery-focused or deathmatch-focused players. On top of that, I think staff should be more vigilant against these types of players. I also want to mention how easy it is to get a gun on this server. The gun scene is extremely bloated and needs to be looked at again. I know there's been a recent system put in place to limit the amount of guns on the server, but I believe this system is still too easy and there would still be an insane amount of guns floating around. Guns need to be hard to find. They don't provide meaningful roleplay and are only a means to an end. I believe there would be far more meaningful and enjoyable roleplay if, for example, a gang was to have a brawl instead of senselessly killing each other because Tony Soprano sold them guns for one thousand dollars a pop. Adding onto this, I think that Government has done a terrible job in handling PF licenses. The server is now flooded with people who have access to guns legally, and I believe the restrictions are far too easy to meet OOCly. I know the damage has been done, but it's still insanely easy to get one which shouldn't be the case. Don't lock a player out of their character. Be more vigilant against robbery focused or deathmatch focused players. Lastly, please make guns more scarce. They're not candy to be given out like it's Halloween.
