Hello! To start off, I am part of LSSD as a Traffic Deputy - so as you can guess, I am not looking to get into constant shots fired and pursuits. My "job" in the server is to literally patrol and enforce traffic Laws. Yes I'm the guy who pulls you over for not having your lights on in darkness and cite you for it! The reason of this topic is to point out that from my perspective, the past two days I logged into the server went on my patrol and I tried to pull over people on traffic violations. (You can skip that part since it's story time, probably one sided, but it's a discussion thread!) What I am wondering is... Why you shoot at a cop? Why you evade a peace officer? Why you attack a rival faction? Why you engage yourself in illegal activities? Then it brings up the follow up questions... How you will get away by shooting & evading? How you will attack a rival faction to properly evade it afterwards without being shot back by cops who will get on the scene? How will you sell drugs without being caught? Did you give the proper chance on the other side to realize your character is under the influence of something which results to excessive behavior? I have been both in the legal and illegal scene myself. I remember when I was in the illegal scene, I had to put a reason behind every single illegal action I did. And I never shot at cops and I RP'd an MC President for about 3 years in SAMP. On the contrary, I was RPing with cops a lot, I was friendly and approachable to them - unless they started threatening my people or me. However, when I was being cornered, I wouldn't shoot to just die and continue. I RP'd my punishment - I wanted to develop my char even if it was a night in the local precinct. Because that's development of your illegal character. So I killed someone? Why I killed him? Because he was a threat to my faction or my people. Because that's how outlaws work and it's not prison. Usually when you know more than you should, you die in that case. How did I do it? Discreetly, without too much noise. If possible a setup, if not - quick and gone. If cops caught up to me? If I'm outnumbered, I wouldn't take the chances of dying. I'll prefer my character spending time to develop him. There's also always the part that your character might be under the influence of a drug - where actions can be excessive and consider less your fear. For example, a character under the influence of cocaine, will not put too much thought into attacking someone especially if their background is violent. A person under meth influence, would have the same attitude and maybe be super aggressive if he's confronted while he's under the influence. That's understandable - but you have to RP it appropriately. In my case, if I confront a civilian who is under the influence, but doesn't RP anything that shows me the signs but at some point they pull a gun and shoot at me or attack me to punch me or anything alike, because they are under the influence and their actions can be excessive - then for me, I will consider it subpar RP. Cause you never gave me any chance to realize your character is under some influence. If you did, my character could have been more defensive and alert in our confrontation. And you'll realize that the RP in the end of the day will be more enjoyable for all of us. Even if it ends up with you arrested or me six feet under. I wouldn't mind dying over a situation - as long as the RP is proper. I'm saying this again, this is a food for thought thread. I am not pointing any fingers but more of brainstorming my experience in the server the past 2 days. How can we fix it? Who can fix it? Are you here to RP or run around with a gun? Is your sole purpose in the server to shoot over petty reasons? Is it a proper reason to shoot at a cop over driving without a license & carrying an unlicensed firearm? (Both misdemeanors, about 40 mins in jail). Is it fine if a cop rushes into a gang neighborhood and tries to arrest a single suspect? If not, why is it proper for someone to risk dying over a misdemeanor arrest? These are genuine questions I make to myself before I login.
