[Tipping Culture]

It's an unofficial rule in most cases irl. You're really frowned upon if you don't tip. Happens a lot at bars, restaurants etc where staff is underpaid and needs tips to survive (employer's fault, but happens all the time).

I understand this.

 

But just because its a socially accepted thing doesn't mean it should be made a LAW or OOC rule is my point.

[Tipping Culture]

But is it the LAW to tip. Or is it just an accepted thing?

 

Personally I normally pay a tip. But I don't think people should be forced to.

 

 

[Custom Hoods - Map Additions]

I like this idea alot. But please air on the side of caution when adding trees. 

 

Yes, trees are great! But there can be too many. Sandy Shores for example... is a desert and should remain a desert. 

[Phone Ringtone and Beeps]

Agree with this. Even a just a beep would be massively helpfull. 

[First Impressions]

I think the server is doing very well at the moment and I am very much enjoying it.

 

I do however fear that were heading in a direction that is TOO realistic.

 

I agree and love the idea of having realism. However we need to keep in mind that this is still a game, and it needs to be a happy medium between fun and realism.

[Some phone changes regarding contacts.]

Support 100% 

 

What is the point of having the messages button next to the contact if you cant use it?

[First Impressions]

What are people thoughts on the Company system?

 

Reading into it, the system seems very good, and the thought behind it has obviously been a lot. However I think it may need fine tuned or rethought a little.

I'm currently running into a problem where my factions Company application was denied. Meaning from what I can tell, we cant even apply for a business / property for the next 4 weeks.

 

I enjoy the thought behind having companies, and I think that the script behind it is great. But I think maybe the having the company as an overall umbrella to everything else can be a little restricting if you don't get accepted for a company.

 

As far as i can tell, and I may be wrong, its going to be at least 4 weeks until my faction can have a property they can hang out at and a way to bring RP to the faction and server.

 

What are your thoughts on this system vs the systems used on other servers?

How are you finding running a business?

 

Overall enjoying the server!

[First Impressions]

This may be something that is being added so forgive me if it is.

 

But I'm disappointed to see that there is no way to order a motorcycle.

Id suggest adding a dedicated motorcycle dealership. With a website like the luxury one. The idea of having a stock of cars is nice, and I think its interesting, But when your grinding your ass off to be able to afford a bike, and you only have a choice of 3 or 4 bikes. Its very disheartening. 

[Total War: Warhammer 3]

Ill be playing it when i get home.

 

Ps. All hail papa nurgle

@Kane I personally believe if it's a vehicle that is not able to have a license plate, they should be considered not street legal (kinda like dirt bikes that have no turn signals and or mirrors). Personally think assuming there is a plate unless specifically specified by the owner would be asking for metagame or some law enforcement roleplayers failing to provide common courtesy (asking for a screen of "removing the plate" or anything along those lines).

I do underatnd where you are coming from but let me better expand on just how limiting it would be to make these vehicles non road worthy. 

 

If we take a look at just motorycles, the ones i have found that dont have a plat modeled onto them are as follows 

 

Sanchez
Enduro
Wolfsbane
Rat Bike
Manchez
Zombie Choppers
Zombie Bobber
Innovation
FCR 1000 Custom
BF-400
Diabolus Custom
Defiler
Double T
Vortex
Cliffhanger
Bati 801RR
Akuma

 

Now yes.... some such as the Manchez , Sanchez and 801RR are dirt bikes and race bikes thus do not have turn signals... however the large majority of the ones listed above are just regular motorcycles.

Well, it has not been defined what a "reasonable" speed is. A cop may consider that the "reasonable" speed in rainy weather is 10 MPH and can give you a ticket and TWO written warnings for a speed higher than that.

 I understand the intention behind it. But i think leaving it that ambigious and up to the officer just invites people abusing it.

We'll look into it.

 

We could add an OOC exemption for those vehicles that can't have license plates so people aren't punished IC for something out of their control OOC. If you have a list of all the vehicles that don't support license plates that would be a big help there.

I will work on getting one and PM you.

[[Discussions / Questions] San Andreas Penal Code]

(d) Any person operating a motor vehicle at any speed greater than is reasonable having due regard for weather, visibility, and the traffic on any public road shall be issued an infraction and two points on their license.

 

This is very ambiguous. Does this mean that if its raining a cop can pull me over for doing the speed limit and say that it wasn't Reasonable for me to be doing 65mph in the wet so I'm getting 2 points? 

[[Discussions / Questions] San Andreas Penal Code]

I also think the Bifta and the Blazer ( Street especially ) Should be legal... They have everything needed to be road legal.

[[Discussions / Questions] San Andreas Penal Code]

(b) A person who drives a motor vehicle without a valid license plate on display while on a public roadway shall be issued an infraction and may have their vehicle impounded at the officer's discretion.

 

What about the vehicle models that don't have number plates. for example the Zombie bikes

For me its a yes and no at the same time.

I've been way too many times that people /v parked the second anyone even stared at them whilst they were inside their stash vehicle (Sadler most of the time) just to avoid being robbed, some even /q'ing after when approached.

I would rather see people use safe objects within their homes/appartments to stash stuff instead of vehicles since they can't magically despawn those.

I do understand where you're coming from. But i personally like stash cars, not even from a practical point of view, just the thought of a van hidden in plain site but actaully holding guns and drugs is kinda cool imo. 

 

Maybe something where /vpark takes like 20 seconds or so?

In addition, the police should be able to request an admin to spawn a player's stash vehicle if a warrant were to be executed on it. And yes, the police should find the vehicle themselves.

I agree with this. 

 

If LSPD have a vehicle they suspect as being a stash vehicle then admins shoudl be allowed to spawn it into the world in the last place it was parked. 

 

But it should be down to the LSPD to hunt for the vehicle. If a stash car is tucked away in an industrial area, or a scrapyard or out in the middle of nowhere then its up to them to find it.

[Animals in LSRP?]

I do agree that having them behind a donator rank isn't the worst thing in the world, at the end of the day the server needs to make money and this is a good way to do it that isn't going to have a massive impact on the server itself in terms of limiting RP. 

 

Having them behind a donation wall will also limit the number that will be spawned at any one time and allow the server to run smoother. 

 

As far as the pets themselves GTAW did implement dogs so i know it can be done, and aslong as its synced well and the AI isn't garbage I'm all for it

[Motorcycle Riders]

I cant be out on it today because of the rain so have a photo of it i took last week at work

 

 

[What do you want to see out of the Los Santos Police Department?]

Ive always wanted to see a PD that actively does investigations aswell. 

 

It would have to be higher ranking people but for example, looking at wealthy individuals that are involved in crime. 

 

You see people living in the hood driving around $120,000 cars... shouldnt that raise a little suspicion? 

[LS vs LA]

Personally I've always been a fan of using the names given to things in the in game universe. Be it locations, weapons, cars, bikes.

 

It helps avoid confusion IMO

[Restrict Super/Hyper/Excotic Cars]

It would also be nice to see some cars be able to be obtained through RP.

 

For example, in the past, I have bought a car such as a Hustler, or hotknife from the server for the price that an admin specified, however I was required to show ALOT of roleplay on how my character found, rebuilt and restored the car over a few IRL weeks.

 

This sort of system for classic cars works very well, however would need to be limited and watched by admins.

Am I the only dad bike cruiser rider here then
