Calamity

+Support I like the whole idea, there def needs to be more reward for the risk trying to go after the president. President should atleast have more risk when raising taxes.

Extending my -rep Its real boring to see 30 gov on everyday (Yes literally), its impossible to do crime these days, especially departments who allows all weapons. Only thing you can do is hide somewhere and do printers which does not equal reward for risk, waiting for random gov to raid your solo base because they heard random gun shots, no offense to them its just they are so bored because criminals are refusing to do crime. This is why you see a hugely increased amount of criminals hiding with money silos instead of actually trying to defend it with a base.

-Support We actually had rules stating there needed to be gov online and look at that OMG!... no one did money silos.... it was the most useless entity in the game (including that Blood and Crip roleplay sadly died back then). Government has literally the most perfect win rate over legit silos 1. ) Its too easy to hop on a department head job and Tank Shots/Combat heal. 2. ) People do not understand that the timer for Money silos is actually broken and inconstant depending on member count and how many gov are on. So criminals defending money silos can take up to 45-50 mins, I even seen some take an hour for some reason. People need to look at this at a different light, I think Money silos need to be overhauled as it is an old system, not nerfed back into the ground where no one uses it. Crims refuse to base anymore because its not worth it, Money Silos are the only reason why crims build bases these days.

+Support This happens to me a lot when typing when I put a random character infront of something, so I get this

- Support This only works on five m because they don’t have really much of physical staff. I love the concept but this is just semi serious.

- Support /roll is not roleplay, it’s only a tool used to help broken roleplay in which two parties do not know how to solve a solution. I don’t think a lot of people will appreciate them sitting there dead for 5 mins just for ems to come and do /roll to determine if they revive you or not, and if they count you as DOA you are forced to respawn which the servers respawn system is already kinda wonky. There’s a lot of better things that can be suggested but i’m not a fan of this and it sounds terrible in action. Just sounds like another required thing that has to be done by EMS as a chore contributing nothing towards their roleplay.

Sorry can’t really understand this - Support

What you want to see? - Add another upgrade to factions. Two Billion dollars for 30 new player spots in the faction upgrade tree. Why should we add it? - This will cripple the economy of criminals for their personal gain of being able to have another 30 more people in their faction. What are the advantages of having this? - Balancing the criminals economy giving them a nice upgrade. Encouraging more basing from criminals. Who is it mainly for? - Criminals Links to any content - N/A

+Support Yeah I said sorry to you, it was a miss-click, It was totally my bad shooting you accidentally.

+Support Clear Evidence, very bad look onto a moderator

Ok I get what you are getting at, thanks for explaining, sorry i’m slow - Support I don’t think this is necessary, yes it requires you to have a gun out during robberies, however has everyone forgot that robbing includes knifes and other weapons? It’s very deadly aswell and very commonly used as such. If someone has a knife you deal with it by taxing them and arresting them. It’s roleplay tbh (i’m just saying in a sense of what was explained, not like many people rob general stores with knifes)

What’s the point of this? Can you explain why there needs to be a rule for this? I’ve never seen someone rob something without having a weapon out.

+Support Hes done this consistently for two days straight, staff is refusing to punish him properly after he was given a verbal around 7 times or simply given another warn from staff like a lead admin. Just wish more accountability was here, he should have been dealt with a long time ago. Not to mention my ears did physically bleed from him doing it yesterday.

+ Support This sit took around 30 mins in game, this honestly killed motivation from a lot of members in the game to play because of this. UMC was having a friendly point battle with SL, not to mention it has been going on for 5 hours. Beans had a gun out in the middle of a whole gun fight, there is no rdm as David did advert as everyone else did. There was no proof and UMC had no issue with this situation, it was fun and games. This needs to be looked into by the HoS as there was no evidence for this warn to happen. Under the staff handbook you need actual evidence to warn someone (logs could not help in this situation) Ah yes Guilty until proven innocent says the moderator. Because beans had no evidence of the rdm, its somehow David's responsibility to defend himself in a 30 min sit. Thank you for speaking out! Yes this should not have been a warn, however from this we know you did not get the full story or understood what happened, why warn David? - UMC was mugging a SL member out of fun sport, Beans was apart of it and as you said he had a gun out. So from this you posted screenshots of the logs, we assisted perfectly and we defended our family member, thats roleplay. There is no rdm from that situation to give out a valid warn - Uber Eats delivers faster than police, you have a right under the second amendment to save your family member from a mugging quickly, you can be arrested after and be charged/ticketed with illegal weaponry if you have it. Logs showed nothing actually, it showed you guys were mugging an SL member and we adverted back to defend them. Logs are not liable here

+ Support Inventorying a Barrett is failrp as I heard since getting back into the swing of things so this adds up.

+ Support Everything said here is just literally an opinion, this should not be taken personally because this is not personal. This is however to correctly discuss and debate over said subject covered under GL forums rule #1 and #14. 1. ) We can agree to disagree my lovely Commander. I do not think this strategy is used properly by enlisted tactical units using a shield. 2. ) You admitted this suggestion is realistic which is very correct, however I understand this server is semi serious because that is a good argument, but more realism I feel like can really benefit the server as a whole. 1. ) I understand you are frustrated as being forced to deal with criminals (your main job is to specialize in that), I would assume you would be talking about Shadow Legacy. Fighting the biggest criminal organization is not meant to be easy, it is meant to be a challenging task. As government you are suppose to be doing routine trainings as we did back in the day to practice breaching, situations, roleplay, and tactical awareness. Criminals catch many government off guard because I feel like a lot of government officials (mostly tactical units) are not trained properly as they should be to deal with these threats. 2. ) Government as well jumps around with weapons, I feel like that point is a great point, but this "Strategy" is used by everybody, this is not exclusive to criminal players. 1. ) The strategy would be to use your other special utilities which includes Climb Swep, Explosive Barrett's, Gas, grenades, flash bangs, smoke, and State Motorcycles as an advantage over criminal players within the city. Criminals sadly do not have access to these utilities, they serve a great purpose which I feel like government officials need to utilize them more as a government player. I utilize these equipment and I always find myself on top of the game against criminal players. 2. ) Government as well jumps around with weapons, I feel like that point is a great point, but this "Strategy" is used by everybody, this is not exclusive to criminal players. Overall There is two sides to every coin and in this situation both sides bring up good points however I feel like an alternative, this would be restricting shields for specific classes. These classes would be command members, and breacher classes. These classes during their specialist training will properly learn how to use the shield in combat. I feel like that will be a better option than just removing shield run speed. Shields are expensive to make in real life, and one shield per squad is more realistic. The tantamount to this would be having at least one or two breachers on for each department to utilize the shield when needed would fit that criteria. Since the medics/sniper classes get cool things, then well it would be beneficial for breachers to get exclusive stuff.

+ Support I remember there was issues with crashes in terms of motorcycles but it seems like SMT done a great job of fixing that. So it would be very cool to see bikes in the server! I hope you understand man, when departments pay for that, its normally in the terms of no other government department can use motorcycles because obviously its an exclusive addon to make state very cool. Unless those rules changed, police motorcycles are exclusive to state, but regular motorcycles are not exclusive to the rest of the server. I am more concerned if this specific add-on would work fine however the idea of motorcycles in general for criminals are really cool!

- Support You are not the first person to suggest this, and will not be the last. However sadly I remember looking through these add-ons with previous managers. The timer add-ons we used always affected our FPS and overall performance of the server. Like most great ideas, they sound good but in reality not something we really need. However its a great idea overall, just something to think about.

+/- Support Under Gaminglight forums rule number 14 I feel like this report is a valid however I think the intentions and the reason why you wanted him punished is wrong. Everything I will say here will be constructive criticism, nothing I will say here will be personal and be based solely on this report sadly because I do not know the two of you. This is my reasoning for my +/- support and feel why my support is appropriate. Before getting started, I wondered why was this not handled in game if staff were around? From what I have seen in past reports, if you are in contact with staff members, then I am going to assume there was staff actively in game. However I could be totally wrong on that, but this seems like something that could have been handled in game. Agreed, should not have been said! This is where I raise eyebrows, that really was not what I deem "ERP". ERP stands for Erotic roleplay. What he said was not erotic at all, the erotic stands for "arouse sexual desire or excitement.", what was coming out of his mouth was not excitement or desire. What came out of his mouth was nothing but hate and player diss, I am going to assume he paused because he was talking rudely behind your back and well you walked in on him. Which is very common of someone to talk crap behind someones back. From this player diss is a very valid of a warn, and this report is valid. I do not even know this SL dude, however he seemed to be ranting to another officer. I deemed this watching the video before even reading these post. So what he said was bad and disrespectful as you said, but I feel like you are trying to reach out there making this more than what it really was. On a side note, he was not yelling in my personal opinion, he was talking to his passenger in his car. There was two other officers around but that's not really screaming "to a bunch of cops". I can assure you the women here are upset at your post because sexual harassment is a real issue, and well you are really giving it bad light. All of the females here report a lot of sexual harassment, I would say around 2-3 people get banned a day for sexual harassment/player diss. If I would want to stretch this, I would consider that staff disrespect for you thinking that nothing is being done to stop this. Especially SMT who dedicate so much of their lives to make sure that everyone feels comfortable here. I understand your intentions are good but that just came out really wrong and offensive, just felt like this comment was really unnecessary and felt targeted towards staff and the other women who already commented on this post. You are very much correct : )! However if someone would talk behind your back, being "deemed" a snobby person would be a huge reason for someone to steep low and diss you like that. So hopefully you understand and see the other side of this. I feel like just because someone said naughty words, it does not always directly mean what they are trying to express. Hopefully nothing said here seems personal to you, thanks for reporting this!

i’m glad SRT still uses my logo

-Support I would like the suggestion just because I like serious rp but sadly this isnt serious rp, plus I always thought about it. Well talking about lawyers in the rights makes confusion because we do not do court roleplay unless a judge is online so, just sadly not how the server works together

I am at 8.3k

+Support In my personal opinion whoever made this model was kinda cringe, this model creator should've just coded it so people can use their gmod colors for the model color. Or just made blue model a texture bodygroup for the normal red super solider model. This model is highly unoptimized for what it could be. However anyway yes adding the model as a secondary model is a good idea.

Tactical, I would like to take the time to respond to further move my +Support. This is just to extend since you bring up good points I want to address. "YOU are staff and couldve told them to stop at anytime but instead you stood there and recorded showing you as a staff member don't care what they are doing" 1. ) Actually no, its forbidden in the staff handbook to warn higher ups unless you have a Superadmin+ allow it, so you are advocating for practically nothing to happen. 2. ) Judging by the clip it was around 1-2 CST. I would not expect a higher up to be on to deal with a sit like this 3. ) Taking a sit would only result into a response of "Sorry, you have to take this to the forums." People are allowed to make reports on the forums, normally sits like this time at night the best thing to do is record and post it on the forums. Feeling like this staff member could not have been handled this situation anymore differently. "personally I don't feel this should go any further then a good talking to as us JMT members like to make things fun and funny for you guys, but when silly reports like this happen we just feel like theres no point in being us and having a laugh with people " 1. ) Are you going to make excuses? I feel like there's millions of players who have done the same thing with saying "sorry, I was just having fun". This is being held as the standard of any normal member of the server, not the "held to a higher standard" which means if you mass rdm in front of a superadmin, they will warn you. 2. ) I agree this is silly, its gmod, however Superadmins hold everyone to those standards of the MOTD, its their job so thats great, I feel like themselves should be held to those same standards to. I would not bring a argument of "Rules for thee but not for me". 3. ) In terms of the job of JMT. JMT's job is to be a rolemodel for other staff members/handle staff related issues in simple terms. I assume you speak on as an Event team Leader, if that is the case well bringing "fun" to the server does not involve mass rdm. If you think Mass RDM counts as some sort of funny cool thing, there is 10000 other productive things MiniEpic could have done to be more fun if he wanted to provide entertainment for after server hours. "unfortunately i feel that no FBI member likes mini for whatever reason as ive seen many people say stuff to/about him" 1. ) Thanks for the input and brings more light onto the issue, however I still feel like this report is still valid. Does not change what he did was acceptable or alright in any means.
