Chicken Bargain

Wait so are you guys closing or staying opened?

@manslaughter’s got a point. I think a server shutdown as soon as possible is a rather smart move. Why? Well to begin we can really see every staff members individuals role and purpose on the server. Really analyze who serves a purpose here versus who is in fact dead weight. There is way more importance to a temporary server shutdown. It will serve as a reality check for everyone. I’d hope at the very least management can create some honest core messaging to the community. I assume the same community members on this thread will be ready to help in any way possible. Systems are broken, trust is missing and at the core that alone needs to be rebuilt and server shutdown would help everyone focus on that. Perhaps dividing people up to access player loss and ways to fix that, tweaking our UCP sign up system. I feel like we’ve lost our identity as a heavy text based roleplay server and those people can sit down and rework what our server niche may be. Staff chaos is a huge fucking flaw and I don’t need to go into further detail but a restructure so beyond necessary. Finally I think entertaining a marketing team would be huge however that would look and work I think it’s necessary. This “LSRP vision” lacks a mission statement and with management being absolutely mute, I think it’s time to figure it out at some point. What matters? What doesn’t and what arguements are off topic? I got a ton more on my mind but beginning here and seeing how the community can get involved would be huge.

Brip in peace, shoutout @MrMardy

Also want to quote this post. It makes the most sense to see where we fall in and ways we can attempt to scale up again. Separating the LSRP V and SAMP community entirely almost sounds like a great idea in my head. Restructuring, implementing small updates, incentives for community members to take on responsibilities and roles, repurposing the tester roles, acquiring new developers all just sound motivating. We aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel here, simply just trying to juice the player numbers back up to 120. It is without a doubt achievable given this servers history and tenure on samp.

Between the last thread and this thread, the input from the community is painted clearly. It would be great to have some feedback from staff members. We have had more than enough of these threads accumulate this past year and it is so obvious what the community body would like to see. It doesn’t seem so apparent on the staffs side of things. Would love some answers, these threads get exhausting, we’ve been poking the bear for answers for days now at this point.

All this is great but what are we going to do about the current state of the server bahaha

Congrats @Kalham on getting passed up again! Can’t catch a break.

Congrats @Clack

Exactly, this has nothing to do with a headlight violation. This was a felony stop due to a PM sent to Bryson after witnessing perform sub-par RP on Harlow's members bro. Memes of management or whoever to delete my post too lmao, its just more sub-par exposure that the community see's on the daily.

Respectfully, reporting changes nothing. We report in game and nothing happens, we report on the forums and nothing changes. If we all had to keep tabs on reporting cops every time we witness rule breaking and or sub-par roleplay we’d probably would have a second job at this point. What is the issue with shutting down a department? If we see 85 players a day at peak, why not only have SD (the better of the two) run policing?

I made this suggestion months ago, back when PD’s subpar roleplay and constant provoking, almost daily, led Grape Street to respond with “mass deathmatching” That ultimately caused Grape to shut down, making them look like the bad guys. Now Harlow has to deal with PD/SDs constantly debauchery on a daily basis. I see it almost every night when I’m in Idlewood, doesn’t matter who you are either. Gangs cannot function and or properly roleplay with the provoking from SD/PD. This server averages probably 90 players a day during peak as of late. We don’t need two departments. Drop one and focus on the other. If we had 400+ players a day I’d be all for 2 departments, but we have 90 for probably 40 minutes. Shut down PD. The server would benefit incredibly.

Congrats well deserved!

What the fuck this is legendary stuff right here!?

I hear @Juwan187 is the acting boss of Bells now

Happy to see ur no longer taking the sub-par approach anymore. Take him far!

Fire stuff
