this is so corny and missing so much information. you came up with a god awful system and then only added hats that cover a handful of gangs and most notably you forgot about a lot of affiliations that you’ve displayed on the thread. maybe instead of manifesting a “press-factor” you should do some research and make this a proper guide and not some ego, e-gangbanger guide to a relatively small list of hats with a small portion of relevant information.

Owlgaming had a beautiful system just like the one y’all describing. Vehicle keys are acquired upon purchase and can be given out to any player, yet they aren’t dropped on death. Vehicle keys can also be copied at the city hall for a small fee. Vehicle keys were also allowed to be stolen/robbed (with permisson), which could prompt the player to call the cops and have their ignition swapped by a trained mechanic. Not sure how you guys feel about it or how you guys wanna go about it, just shedding light on a system I’ve seen in the past.

What the issue to welcome new roleplayers into the server? the text based RP community is already at decline compared to years ago, why drive away players instead of teaching them and help grow the community even more.
You're gladly mistaken if you think text-based RP has declined over the years, it's actually blown up a considerable amount. The application isn't supposed to be a deterrent from keeping out new and unexperienced players, yet syphons through those who don't have any roleplay knowledge or just are trolls. As stated above, you can be completely new to roleplay and still manage to get a character accepted here. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does drive concerns that the roleplay quality/standard won't be held as high as the former server was. Regardless, whatever system you put here, those people will get in one way or another. Brace yourself for impact because on launch I'm envisioning a multitude of ban hammers, I'm assuming Davis is going to be overrun with people who don't know how to roleplay, don't care for roleplay, and just wanna have fun.
I'm confident in the staff team to handle all these people and I don't roleplay in Davis, so this won't change anything for me and my play style, but it may affect others who are actively trying to portray a 1:1 socal street gang. -

No, as soon as you failed you can retake the test. (speaking from experience
)
Im pretty sure there's a five minute cooldown. I passed off rip, but I know many others who've struggled. All in all, I've been getting mixed reactions to the difficulty. If the administration team wants to keep the application basic, yet take conclusive action against trolls, and whatnot, it'll be fine. -
TLDR: heres a video that shows something similar.

Obviously he is lying, roleplayers dont have girlfriends...
seriously though you hit the nail on the head, how does she know what level you have to be to rob/scam, how many deputies need to be on to start an inmate on inmate fight etc etc. There are questions you cant possibly know without having looked at the rules at least once.
She assumed 5 to scam which is a 1/4 guess, correct. And for the inmate thing, her reasoning was and I quote, "if you two are fighting one on one then there has to be as many guards as fighters." If you really think that you can't get through the quiz which only asks for two specific "LSRP" rules, then you're gladly mistaken. -

I find this extremely hard to believe. Multiple questions make use of terms exclusive to roleplaying or LSRP's own robbery rules and she knew what they all were?
I found it incredibly easy, getting every question correct, however I think you're exaggerating a little bit or just lying
Bold claims for someone who found the application easy as well. Perhaps you could say my girlfriend has an advantage in situations like these because she's quite the experienced writer and she has a good grasp on common sense. You're more than welcome to hit me up on discord, because I didn't believe her either, she explained why she chose what answers to me in person, and through pure common sense, she made it through just fine. Lets assume she got it wrong, she's got a 1/4 chance of figuring it out and 2 of the options are completely out of lunch to anybody, LSRP player or not. I'll try experimenting and send the UCP to some other friends too, just to see if they can replicate the success. -

I wonder, what kind of questions would you like to see more or how would you phrase them? @playbizzle. I can understand your point of view that it looks rather easy but they do kind of cover the basic stuff that people should be aware of. And I believe the intention of the quiz is to ensure people understand the basics.
I'm not against anything, I was just asking a question but in regards to your question family, I was expecting some more long answer questions. I know it pushes away people from applying due to the amount of time it takes to submit an application and then wait for a result, but I found that it weened out majority of the trolls and terrible roleplayers. I'm not entirely sure if this approach is going to benefit nor harm the server, but with what Drew said I feel like this will give inexperienced roleplayers a chance at joining a community that houses some pretty extensive/serious roleplay. The quiz process does cover some of the basics of roleplay while ensuring that the individual is roleplay minded instead of play to win though, you're not wrong. -

You've got a smart girlfriend! The quiz isn't designed to fail you, nor is it designed to trick you. While this is feedback that we appreciate, we do not share the same concerns for the quality of those getting into the server, and we have a strong and capable staff team to handle these issues as they arise.
The background stories are read and reconciled by Staff manually. If you've passed the test and are approved in your character background story, we can't wait to see you in-game :).
Makes sense, I'm looking forward to seeing some new faces around here.-

Not too sure about all of you, but it was way too easy to get into the server in my opinion. The questions weren't that challenging and the writing portion from what I've been hearing is only 2-3 paragraphs. I'm not sure if that was the intent, but I'm expecting a lot of unexperienced roleplayers and trolls on launch. Someone had mentioned in the Black Car discord that it would only seem easy to those who've been actively playing text-based roleplay, so I tasked my girlfriend with applying. She's never roleplayed before, but is interested in it so I told her to apply so she could create her character on the 20th. She ended up passing the quiz and getting a character accepted without reading the rules nor even roleplaying ever before. Seems kind of scary to think of that in my head considering Mmartin announced there were over 1,000 applications within the first day. Any thoughts or is this just an attempt to draw in new players and provide them with the resources on a whim that they become ideal roleplayers?

Literally this shit is so annoying. Stop bringing up pedorp and other shit related towards it because this is what makes it a constant in a community. Anywhere you go in any roleplay community nowadays everyone is always bringing this type of roleplay up over and over and it’s lowkey kinda fucked up. OP is focusing on the wrong aspects of roleplay before the server has even began to kick off yet.
