well breaking news: i didnt rp a person in their right mind so it's rp if i go swim in the ocean

 

Ah yes, the old "My character is insane, so there's nothing wrong with them doing idiotic shit just to win a scene" excuse. I can 100% see why you were banned, you're extremely self-centred and your attitude is disgusting. I really hope they ban you from this server too (if it ever launches).

do you consider olympic swimming if your car breaks down and you find yourself in a beach surrounded by police forces and realistically knowing you're getting a lot of years in prison but then there's the opportunity to swim away? you think you won't take it? just because i successfully embarrassed the cops that were chasing me(what a coincidence one of them was the admin that banned me) doesn't mean i should get banned and not let me argue it. Also the lack of replies is fucking idiotic af lol had to wait 3 weeks for one reply and then another 2-3 for another reply made me realize that server is not worth playing at all

 

The only person embarrassing themselves here is you my dude. Did your character train as an athlete? Do they have the stamina needed to counteract the currents and keep swimming until the police give up? There's really not much to explain when a gangbanger swims the whole length of the beach and dive around under water trying to evade police, that kind of p2w mentality will sooner or later, get you banned here too. I can guarantee you that. Try owning up to your mistakes, instead of blaming everyone but yourself. You'd be surprised how far it gets you.

As Nova said above, you probably didn't get banned just for that (admins generally don't ban for a first/minor offence on GTAW either) but for an accumulated record and repeated poor attitude.

didn't mean to say LSRP is a scapegoat but we all know LSRP is more illegal roleplay oriented. Sure that's okay to have as a rule, but is it really worth banning someone for 5 months because of that? It really sucks because all it takes is one google search of "man swims in the ocean to avoid police" to see how common that is. And their staff is shit they refuse to learn something new or take someone's argument seriously because they're admins and I should respect them. Fuck no, I never had this issue with LSRP and I've been playing since 2011. 

 

That sounds very specific lol, sound to me like the ban was well deserved if you're olympic swimming. If you're pointing to youtube videos or articles from 10 years ago to justify stupid behaviour and p2w mentality no shit they're not going to take you seriously. On LSRP or GTAW you'd get exactly the same treatment, I'm sure most admins on GTAW or LSRP would also listen to REASONABLE arguments but my gut feeling tells me yours isn't one of them.

 

Hell if anything GTAW are far too lax with rulebreakers, you'd have to do something pretty fucking stupid to get a 5 month ban.

[March Release Update]

Not doubting the breakin or anything but it's been well over a month since there was any news on the server's progress and Mmartin has been online since, so I'll assume he and his family are fine. It is however, extremely questionable as to why there's no updates considering ya'll were apparently days away from being ready to release. What's changed? that's a weakI think the community deserves more communication than it's been getting, considering Patreons are leaving in droves. 

[March Release Update]

I understand wanting to release something that's stable and playable but if LSRP can't keep to a simple release date that's really not a good sign for the future, either have a release date and stick to it or don't have one at all. I understand there have been circumstances IRL for Mmartin and that's fine, I'll even give the man my warmest wishes in that regard. But that can only carry a certain amount of goodwill towards someone who was all but absent from the community until LSRPV was announced out of nowhere after leaving the old server to rot.

 

I've always been supportive of LSRP, even as the old server was dying but I'm slowly starting to loose faith that this will ever see the light of day or if it does, that it won't end up the same way as the SAMP server did when people loose interest and the initial hype dies down. I really hope I'm wrong, but right now it's not looking good.

Looks pretty good, shame about the choice in music though  

I can't help but think the healthbar and injured animation state should be removed though? Would help to prevent metagaming via the healthbar to kill someone.

Fair, I missed that so mb but most of my points still stand tbh

[December 1st Development Update]

Looking good, mdc looks legit af. When's the new launch date expected to be though? First it was summer 2021, then it was around Christmas with character apps opening before but nothing more has been heard about it (at least to my knowledge not being on the Discord).

 

It's a bummer that the samp server was taken from us long before anything was even remotely ready for a stable gtav server. Now all we can do is wait while launch dates keep being pushed back. Don't get me wrong, I understand the nuances of development and real life which might get in the way and that you actually want content on launch but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

 

As an idea though, maybe have a couple of early alpha periods to let players roleplay a bit, help iron out bugs missed during development etc and wipe any characters and progress at the end of each testing period.  Imo this will lead to a much more stable official launch and give us something to do while we wait  You could always disable certain features you don't want revealed until launch too.

I have one question, nipple mods?

For those of us who were part of the SA community, will we need to re-apply? Or can we log into the UCP with our old credentials once it's available?
