This is very easy to fix. The root of all problems is people don’t understand it’s nit nerdy to approach your character realistically. You joined LSRP, this is not gtaw or whatever. You don’t need to be a legendary roleplayer. All you need is immersing yourself in that character. From that discord chat we had earlier some even blatantly said they rather have mid tier roleplay. But this is not a mid tier roleplay server. We’re not asking you to be a God and breathe roleplay. no no examples: - suicide to avoid whatever: you’re pulled over because someone said you’re dealing drugs. You also have a gun on you. You know that’s maybe 2 hours in prison. You start evading. Which is fine, gang gang evades cops when dealing drugs and also pack heat. But what you decide to do next sets you apart, or keeps you in the idlestacks / mallrat category. The cops will eventually stop you. Now, do you get out and run? That’s fine, run. Do you turn around and shoot at them? Bad. It’s not play2win for the cops if they arrest you. You made a series of bad calls which led to you being caught lacking with drugs and guns on you. - taking everything as a joke: I see people trying to steal cars from outside the sd / pd hq. I see people doing all sorts of unrealistic things in plain sight or on very busy streets. That’s bad. Someone mentioned vato locos rp’ers are people who miss out on their social life just to rp. That’s not the case. Logging in 1 hour a day and providing quality rp is a matter of skill and wanting to improve yourself. I personally got shot by Nueve Flats but it all felt realistic and there was no foolery involved. It was my character’s fault. - the idlestack gangs: maybe some of f you know, go to Tahitians and you’ll be offered guns in 5 seconds. The whole gang is so subpar that it touches on cringe. People shouting shop open yall shop open. They apparently have hundreds of weapons and they are not part of the weapon scheme. One individual especially seems to be the top dog. What’s even funnier, earlier on discord he told a tester to ban pf boys. His /me’s are ridiculous and he expresses things that border on pg or mg. He’s also the first person ever to react to a misclick. In whatever years of lsrp nobody ever reacted to a misclick punch from me. Not only that, he’s got numerous reports on him for baiting, dm’ing and provoking people. 30piecesofsilver probably can tell who I’m talking about. The fact that this individual managed to talk himself out of ajails so many times and continues to spread noobness while thinking he’s great is just weird. I can rant here for hours. I know people don’t react very good to people who speak out. They start calling us cringe and whatever. The fact is, you agreed to join a hardcore roleplay server. Don’t act surprised and almighty when people want you to adhere to hardcore standards.

Last night's ride-along had to be cut short because of Rancho situations popping up every 2 minutes. Multiple LSPD officers were shot. Shots were fired at LSSD deputies' vehicles. There was an active war going on last night and this led to different altercations between the gangs and the PD / SD. That area was declared a hot zone and patrols had to adapt and change from solo patrols to partnered up and high alert. Imagine you're rolling 3 deep and you get pulled over for not stopping at an intersection. You're packing and you notice 2 more cruisers park themselves strategically on the opposite street. Now, it's only natural to think they might be after you, frisks are possible so you start to make up scenarios in your head. If you get pulled over around Rancho, there's a big chance those other patrols are there just as extra protection for the traffic officer, nothing else. But it can escalate rather quick when you believe you're being cornered. So in most cases the stopped vehicle will probably take off and start a chase. We know very well that most criminal role-players will jump out and start shooting at the PD / SD when their car gets disabled. When you create this type of environment, all you're doing is getting more and more attention against your area. So while some PD / SD are working on portraying their character in a realistic manner putting their safety first and trying not be on a play-to-win streak, they are being forced into shootouts that could be avoided if the other side also took a more immersive approach. Based on how small the playerbase is right now, I'll guarantee that you'll have a more enjoyable experience with PD / SD if those guns are shot less and you get arrested once in a while.

I'd have to say Michael Westbrook
