Sure, that's fine. What about the other questions?
My bad. You can do basic (raw) screenshots, that's fine. You can post them under this application

Fine by me, but is there a way not to do it "passively"? And what other risks can there be? I'm down for whatever.
World has a script that supports skimmers, although it needs updating because basic skimming isn't a thing anymore as I've explained.
If we get something like this in the future as a script, that'd be great, but in the server's current state there's not much the playerbase can do.
Where should I post the screenshots of RP and what monetary rewards are we thinking here? Also, the screenshots should be basic ones, with all text included, or edited ones for the DEV thread work too?
We don't have a skimmer or fraud system yet nor a police team that actively pursues this kind of roleplay. If you want a higher reward, you'd have to do something that brings a risk with the current economy and situation. For example, robbing a store brings more risk, etc. The passive rp is for people who want to roleplay something where they can't bring any risk

Please read through the how to page before you start your roleplay.
This scenario's response time will be 1 minute. Do not rush your roleplay and keep it qualitative.
Respond to this topic with the required evidence and screenshots of you performing this to get your reward. If the required material is missing, you will not be rewarded and the roleplay will not be voided. Getting caught or dying will also prevent you from getting the reward.
Feel free to @ me once you're done for a faster response.
Good luck

@Yeager We'll allow you to do this passively if that's what you'd like. You'll have a lower reward due to the lack of risk but you will still be rewarded for your roleplay. Please provide screenshots of you roleplaying it to receive your reward.

@Jackson Tagliabue Every scenario needs an element of risk. How could you incorporate the risk of getting caught with this kind of roleplay?

Sure that sounds great.
Actually, I got an even better idea. How does robbing an electronics store sound?
There's one over at Sinner Street where you can /enter too. That would justify you getting all the required electronics etc

I'll roleplay disassembling the electronics, taking out their valuable parts, then either re-using those in repairs, or shipping them to China where they will use them to make cheap shit you buy off Aliexpress or wish. Another one of my faction members had an idea, we package the components then do a refund scam. Amazon basically takes anything, dudes send bricks in boxes to Amazon and request refunds. So that was another option.
I would still like to see some element of risk in this roleplay. What do you think of the idea of you (or someone else) rob people off those electronics (phones etc) so that you can re-use those components to profit off it? Would that be something you'd want to do? That'll give enough risk to the roleplay for it to be rewarding

@Yeager I don't see much of a plan. What do you plan on roleplaying that would get you the money and how do you plan on doing that?

1. Gatekeeping the Money
PS: DDaniels has already mentioned in Discord that what I'm addressing is something on the staff's mind and that is going to happen. I'm just going to share it so the community can add their opinion on it and perhaps suggest cool stuff in regards to it.
Most of the money-making mechanisms that aren't related to grinding the five scriptwise jobs that we have (that do little, if anything, to contribute to generating roleplay and in character behavior) are red taped and railroading you towards factions and groups. Don't get me wrong. Factions are great, necessary and the backbone of any roleplaying community, but:
- For hourly paychecks, you need to be in a government, official/legal faction.
- For a business, you need a "starting roster" to begin with and they are hardly profiteable anyway besides all the OOC headache and effort. (I'll touch on that more in 2.)
- For schemes, contraband and the likes, you need to be in a faction, and the unwritten rule is that as if the faction red tape isn't enough, you have to realize that most faction leaderships decide themselves on which member they allow to apply/run whatever scheme for the faction, so there is even more red tape on that than the information topics suggest.
This is all cool and cool things to have, but you have to understand that not everyone, for whatever reason (whether IC or OOC, or both), wants to commit to a faction (regardless of the kind of faction) but rather be more "laid back and do their own thing" if this makes sense. If you want to stop the senseless trucking and fishing at the pier, you need to do something to incentivize these people to stop grinding and role-play.
Not to critique without suggesting - but making schemes available for NON-FACTION characters (solo/individuals) would be a great start. Unfortunately, schemes are still rather exclusive as a whole and I think simply doing that would not be enough. There has to be something else. Tapered paychecks are cool, because they essentially force you to go out and roleplay, rather than just grind, but clearly not enough. At some point we have to consider free hourly money for everyone (like $100 a hour) or whatever. Just so people can spend hours roleplaying and know that they will be able to pay their rent without having to spend more time on the fishing pier. This isn't ideal, it's just a whatever suggestion to make a point.The individual schemes will be a thing in the future. Just like I explained to you and a few others, we just cannot depend on a few individuals to keep the market flowing at the start of the server. If you want to be involved with guns, drugs, contraband and etc, you're always able to get them through interacting with factions. And yes, I understand that that's some form of a dependence, but don't forget that other factions that aren't in the schemes are in the exact same position as you are.

Yeah tbf this would be great, and especially important in the beginning I reckon. It's a big ol' map and getting people together in little hubs where they know they can find casual RP is a pretty logical first step - and that can be helped along with events like the one you mentioned there. Big fan.
Glad to hear you like the idea. We should get in contact soon enough and see what we can think of

We could also look into hosting events together with the event team and faction team. Have neighbourhood cookouts, etc. I also urge factions to hold their own internal events
