Rancor and Acey in an FBI Rancher fully packed with heavy armors and M4s, twenty grenades each... Now that's a sight that'll wipe out the whole Yakuza.

What are your thoughts on the servers gambling roleplay?
F0r3v3r replied to ETIENNE's topic in General Discussions
Yeah, hopefully gambling is brought back. It's definitely a fun way to enjoy the game. Some-thing that should be heavily checked up on is the actual role-play done there. Maybe have admins receive notifications about poker games that have started to occasionally check up on them and make sure that it is all role-played. I mean, you shouldn't have to do a /me line each call, fold or check you make but a /me line here and there about folding and doing something other than just sitting like a robot would be necessary. I hope they bring the option for players to be able to host gambling sessions again. Nowadays, many organized crime groups run their own gambling games, such as blackjack or poker in their own businesses in order to make some money on the side. Plenty businesses have also been shut down because of that. It would bring some fun role-play for the detectives of both PD and SD to role-play around as well. -
I wouldn't actually do that. I feel like if there's a new faction that does not have the best screenshots or the best thread, they'll be frowned upon and certain groups or individuals will be "funny" and spam their thread and posts with down-votes. The communities I've been part of that have a negative reputation system usually end up with some people being hated for having a negative reputation score, which isn't the best display to people and will eventually cause some of these people to leave because they don't feel welcome here. Constructive criticism is a possibility for people who you think require a "down-vote" and I feel like that should be how it goes. Beside that, currently the reputation system does not even allow reputation to be negative and it is a bit of a hassle to work out a way for negative reputation to be included with a down-thumb emote.

Well, after your post, we have gotten two updates in the span of about 3 weeks. We've also gotten another community post just today as LS-RP is preparing for a launch, hiring more staff members to deal with the numbers. I hope you've gotten your answer for it. One thing that did kind of disturb me here is the fact that you compare LS-RP V to GTA VI. GTA VI has plenty more developers working on it compared to LSRP V and it's an extremely weird way to compare these two. The test git channel shows what is being done etc. Now, the staff team along with early supporters have been testing the server. There have been screenshots and videos released from how it is looking right now and it looks as if we're moving towards a release. The staff team shouldn't give us a "time" of opening as previously we've seen that certain issues will lead to the server not opening when there's a set date. There are still bugs that come from testing that need to be fixed. The development team is working hard to fix any big bugs that could hinder the server right now. Sure, Mmartin could've released a bugged server, but what good is it for the staff team to deal with people making a /helpme every fifteen seconds about a bug that the team is very well aware of, but can't be fixed in the span of an hour. The development team has their own real lives to take care of and there's plenty of people who think that it's not the case. Give them some time and it will be out. I know it has been said countless times, but I think that it's coming out for real now and I personally have gotten back the motivation and actual hype that I had when I was initially going to release.

Yeah right. That's exactly how it went with SA:MP, right? Oh yeah nobody's going to play after the peaks of 600 players around 2012-13 to 2016-17. But the staff literally had to raise the player gap when Covid hit. We had around 900 players peak at some point. It's not the fact that people will not come back, but it's the fact that we're being lied to. I didn't want to pick sides or anything, but I've seen that Mmartin is severely slacking. If there was a chance that somebody else could take over full time, I think the management should heavily consider it as an option, but in this state it's hard to find developers ready to do this full time. And yeah. You really are losing it on the "30 players at most". There're factions in here who are WAITING patiently, that rack up a few hundred players alone. If the advertisement is done correctly, this could double or triple within the first quarter. You just don't know enough about how role-play works. A generation dies and a new one comes, like it or not. It's not only "the other major GTA V text RP server" we should be looking at. There are FiveM voice servers where a lot of people play that are waiting to be unbanned from "the other major GTA V RP server" or for the release of LS:RP. I know that from like around a thousand people patiently waiting from the start we have around half of them left, but we still have people waiting for this. It's just embarrassing how we've been told to wait and wait for this thing to come out. I still haven't lost hope, but it's crumbling slowly.

Let's get it! Keep it up.

The stupidity behind all the decisions made by the management can only be explained by them. They've had a developer or two leave or get removed, I am not sure what it was about exactly. Might've been the fact that we don't even see a server right now, but might also be internal conflicts. We never will know. It's harder to let go of things like that. If you don't have patience to wait for something to come out then why are you still sitting here moaning? You guys had the patience to wait out long downtimes due to DDOSes, the whole management collapsing and you can not wait a year for the server to come on? Sure, I am as disturbed as you guys are, but chanting "LSRP is dead" doesn't bring us any closer to the opening. We're all human. Yeah, Mmartin and Ben make a shit load of money off patreon and this server in general, but haven't we been through this? It's not like any of the former staff ran off with a large amount of the profits the server made before? Prepare for the worst, but have hope for the times the server actually comes alive, I guess. Sure, the management SHOULD at least speak to us, but if you are in the discord server, there were occasional messages by Ben, Kane and Mmartin there. I heard something about Kane mentioning, that he does not want to do what Mmartin was assigned to do (The development, certain scripts etc). If Mmartin was NOT able to access his computer due to real life circumstances, why fight over it with him? He has been working on this community for years and will hopefully work on it for years to come (but with a server up at some point). I recon you guys are sour. Yes, it was a bad idea to move to GTA V with bare preparation for it. No matter what, real life comes first. It's the same for all of us. If something happens to us in real life and we disappear for a while, we don't get as much backlash as Mmartin. If you think about it, we're nobodies. Our friends may ask why have we been gone, but not the whole server. It's the case with Mmartin and the co. You guys should calm your tits. The more you PRESSURE the management, the harder it will be and the longer it'll stretch out. The server will come out. Be it a year, two years, three years or a decade. Fuck it, someone will still play it and others will be coming back. It's been like that for a long time. In the SA:MP server, many left but came back. Why? Because it's a fucking role-play server with history and with people who can actually put their thought into role-play. I am not really saying that other servers do not have this, but everyone is focused on their own subject. Some servers lean towards a perfect legal community and leave illegal RP on the side. LS:RP has been decent in balancing it out, at least. I understand the community should be the number one thing to focus on when you are creating a server, but spare them some time. Play other servers if you are so "thrilled" to RP, even if you think they're shit. And to all of you cunts (sorry) that think the staff in general is shit? Try being in their shoes. If you have done it before, think about all the wrong decisions you made. There must've been a few. Especially the ones that're so fond of their work and their history. You guys forget the fact that you fucked up. It's rough to admit you made a couple dumb decisions here and there, but why do you blame everyone for making a mistake when you're JUST LIKE THEM. Anyway, what LSRP was for me back in the days? Occasional hustle to get into a faction or a group. The occasional need to better myself for a video game, which ended up reflecting on my real life. All the long nights spent role-playing with people you do not know in real life, but you still clicked with. Having to adapt to different timezones to understand where other people are from and being able to role-play with them if necessary. Being a faction leader. It was a thing I did a lot in my last few years of LS:RP and I enjoyed it, a lot in fact. Spending around 30$ on name-changes because I was FPKed or CKed from Cycos for near ten or so times. Sitting in a neighborhood with a boombox on a corner blasting rap music. Chilling, vibing with people from your faction and then getting hit on by another faction just to log off demotivated. Fun times, ngl. Having the chance to learn from great role-players. A few of them would be AceS, Chete and International. There're plenty others, but those are the ones I think I learned the most from. Having a blast with legal role-play. Even during the times where my sleeping schedule was messed up, the graveyard shifts were still amazing and fun to be at. Meeting people in-real life that I met in a role-play server. Anyway, I hope I gave you guys something to read. No matter how much I repeated myself, my point still stands, hopefully. It's seven AM as I am writing this, so feel free to correct anything I might've messed up.

Who is your favorite celebrity?

I feel like it could. Say an individual is stalling getting robbed. Add a timer of a few minutes that would need to be bypassed in order to take items from them. Ensure the player has been active after the /rob or whatever the command added will be to prevent robbing AFK people (which is allowed, but well, not usually looked upon by staff, even if they have to kick the player etc). Obviously, if that script is abused as well, such as not giving people time to tell where the items are, it can be punished. It should be made into a script of some sort to see player's inventories, but taking an item should be a little bit more complex than just being able to click and drag into your inventory.
