Hi, maybe the perspective of a complete newbie will help to shed a different light on this situation.
This text has nothing to do with you personally, quite the opposite, you are actually one of the admins mentioned below with whom I have only had positive experiences so far!
First of all: Before January 9th I never had an LSRP account or a character here, even though I already knew about this server OOC since 2015/2016, the thought of RPing in English (not my native language) had simply scared me off, even though I can prove over 9000 hours of RP experience on German servers.
So feel free to interpret my situation as someone who has no idea what he is talking about here on LSRP.
The team members I have dealt with so far have all been very friendly and helpful. Be it tester, admin, event team, mapper or leadership.
Of course, there is always the situation where you as an experienced team member/user think: WTF is this dude really new? Something like this still exists in the year 2025?
How would I describe my feeling here, what I have on average? Sometimes exciting because it's new, sometimes confusing, sometimes incomprehensible.
Because I sometimes meet different people with different RP levels and rarely find a uniform level among several people.
You shouldn't ignore the group formation of the different factions (legal or illegal), of course it's their right to only deal with their own people, but you should be able to agree on a common level in terms of "external impact", which also gives the Team Members a more peaceful life and the opportunity to do more roleplay themselves.
On my legal character, for example, there has hardly been a situation so far where a "character from the criminal scene" behaved so badly that I think that would be worthy of a report. Sure, some characters are a bit... more hot-tempered or dominant, but that's roleplay.
It's been pretty much the same with my female character so far, even though I sometimes think... brother, at least make an effort if you're going to flirt with me.
But even then, even though they's mostly accepted rejections with respect.
Sure, sometimes they would say something "stupid", but that was understandable so as not to lose face in front of his boys.
Everything went great internally on the illegal character, which I only did on the "invitation" of the thread creator.
Super high-quality RP, great people, in terms of the story everything was mostly understandable (if the language barrier didn't kick in personally).
But when some "action" started, it just gets confusing.
Yesterday, for example, a random taxi came along that was already smoking, while several masked people were getting ready and trolling around.
Then a PD car "coincidentally" drove by, which just happened to be alone in a public parking garage at night.
And before the RP with the PD even started - there was a chase AND because one of the four passengers shot, everyone was sprayed down with M4s like Swiss cheese as soon as they got out (I didn't even get the chance to surrender or grab a weapon in any way, not even with an ass pull).
-> But that's not meant to be a complaint or public humiliation, so no names. Nevertheless, as a newbie who is just trying to get a foothold, I find giving such a first impression... not conducive to role play.
Of course you could play the card: "You're new, be quiet and watch out."
But if you don't want any new ones, you should say so and not scare away the people behind them with such DM-worthy actions.
Because I think that from a purely economic and qualitative point of view of the server, that is not in their interest.
If you've read this far, thank you very much for your time reading my post! I really appreciate it.
I hope you have a nice and successful week.
Greetings, Wulgra
