-Support Pretty sure the whole point is that your gun is very close to being ready to fire, at that point we might as well say you can FearRP the entire SWAT team because their guns aren't aimed at you so you can shoot first. Also, in RP it's unlikely you can see whether a gun is or isn't safetied - the point is you're just holding it, not aiming it. This would essentially mean that aiming your gun randomly around the place made you more ready to fire than holding it otherwise. Realistically you just need to re-aim the gun a little and you're in a standoff. From a gameplay perspective this would also mean effectively that you could kidnap pretty much any government official at any time anywhere unless you were actively being held at gunpoint by them. Also, the fact that you can have a gun not out but also not on safety would mean that with this rule change, you'd be able to reach into your pocket, grab hold of an assault rifle or LMG that you store in it, pull it all the way out and aim it towards someone faster than they can just aim at you. It's worth noting that you can just bring backup, order the person to put their gun away under FearRP and then kidnap them.

I also personally won't hold it against you if you accidentally do it as a result of my aim with an AWP being so bad you didn't know you were in combat (I've surprised several criminals with that). I've seen some people use 15 seconds as a rule of thumb, but I think most people will be okay with you just taking a look around to make sure the area's clear and nobody's imminently about to engage you first (no enemy combatants reloading their guns, running to cover, no bearcat coming straight towards you code 3, etc)

As someone who was there when you were banned from the main GL discord and remembers, I just wanted to clarify that you first pinged Zeeptin in a message with the N word twice in all-caps, and then afterwards said the homophobic F-slur. I'm not sure who banned you there but I suspect it may have been Eternity as he said "bruh" "bye" shortly after. No other input than that, just wanted to clarify what I know of what happened (for the main GL discord anyway) to hopefully help the process along.

-Support If I was required to stand around AFK on Citizen for a while before getting to play (as I have played crim I believe 3-4 times?) it would've been pretty offputting. (I also think level 5 would've been reached by the time I loaded in...) For a lot of people it'd be mandatory AFK time. If OFC was a level job, what would be the government job for new players? Let's not forget this would block new players who haven't yet donated out of every department on the server, and I'm not sure how many gov only players would rather stand around AFK for a while than just click another server. Not to mention for players who only come here to join PD, this would essentially be like having staff show up and jail them immediately for being new. A lot of people come here to play PD, and locking the ability to even attempt to play it behind anything would lock gameplay out for some. OFC is already a job that's often hard to get promoted from, and which locks you out of half the game. If we're going to lock even that job to experienced players just in case someone breaks the rules, what about mingy citizens? It just feels like a rather counter-productive exercise of "if they AFK for a while they can't break rules", which I feel would discourage players who mainly want to play government jobs while doing very little to delay people with intent to minge (who will likely just minge as citizens or gun dealers until they level up enough to click OFC) nor to actually make players more experienced (AFKing or running around as a citizen won't help people learn how to be an OFC).

+Support It would appear you have, in fact, oofed it

Whalecome back! It'll be sad to see you go next week

We finally found the key to making superior AFK citizen great...

-Support And then you got banned from ImperialRP last night/early today for mass RDM... and racism. Based on the fact that you were warned for RDM before you got banned for racism+LTAP, and the fact you then went on another one of our servers and got banned for mass RDMing and being racist there while this appeal was open, I'm not satisfied that you've learned from this enough to warrant a reduction in length.

Major -Support -Still receiving warnings relatively frequently -Lists a Discord ID instead of SteamID -Not very mature or ready for staff in my opinion -But the main reason for my strong -support is that the entire last two questions are copied and pasted word-for-word from ChilledGod's staff application: https://gaminglight.com/forums/topic/74242-chilledgods-trial-moderator-application-accepted/?tab=comments#comment-511609

Damn man, we got DAD together and now at different ranks we're going into reserves roughly together too. Was fun being FBI command with you!

You did a lot for FBI, maybe someday you'll have time to return but it's been great working with you while you were here!

What's so funny about Sussus Bakus? I have a very great friend in Rome named Sussus Bakus...

+Support Having to drive more than halfway across the intersection to see if the light is red or not defeats the purpose (And that's with my glasses on)

-Support Making not even a full "your mom" joke, but a "yeah with your mom" comeback, is barely if at all an issue, and especially not worthy of being called "ERP" nor does it in my opinion warrant anything close to the requested punishment of a demotion. It might not be the most ideal thing to say, but there is a long way between "not the ideal response" and "ERP".

+Support Active again Mature and calm Experienced and was trusted with the rank of Admin previously Good luck!

DRIP Rippy Wait... (Seriously though, enjoy... yknow... all the other things you're busy with in GL)

100-player night-time Great Lakeside... Time to see who merely adopted the darkness and who was born into it.

Your In-game: BruceyBoyo The player's name in-game: Tolip The player's steam ID (required): STEAM_0:0:143559241 What did the player do: DDOS threat (among many other rulebreaks) Evidence (REQUIRED): https://imgur.com/a/oANK8bQ (2 screenshots included, one of logs showing the DDOS threat and the player info to confirm their SteamID - taken 6 minutes after because my original screenshot accidentally had the message covered. The other is one from the chat in case that helps) What do you believe should happen to the player: Permanent ban Any extra information: Already banned for 12 hours by Big Gunther for this and a variety of other offences https://gaminglight.com/bans/player/765611982473842100 but needs to be extended to a perma on account of DDOS threats being involved (Would also be due for a 10 warn ban if not permabanned for whatever reason, and seems to have NITRP based on history)

-Support Shooting a heavily armed person whose entire job is to stop you by deadly force if necessary is not RDM, and in a tight space I don't really think a criminal needs to have any particular value for the life of their ex-hostage (who was released). Hunting down and executing a former hostage might be different, but if not being careful while engaging the negotiator in combat post-release is against the rules, then I'm fairly sure there has literally never been a hostage situation that followed the rules. Once you have no hostage, you're now an armed and dangerous felony suspect with no leverage and the negotiator is a heavily armed tactical officer specialized in arresting armed and dangerous felony suspects. This feels about as FailRP as arresting someone after promising them free passage.

Setting sirens to disable after 5 seconds of no driver is literally the single best thing ever done

+Support Confirmed accidental by staff member, as stated above accidents happen

I'm honestly just looking forward to seeing what a fully custom-made map can provide us with. Rockford is one that's been adapted, but with a custom map I'm excited to see how it's been designed from the ground up to make PoliceRP fun.

Didn't work with you that much but still sad to see you go. Hope to see you online sometime but real life comes first!

Bust type: Bagged Milk

I know I'm a bit late to this but I've read it a few times just not knowing what to say. I've always known you as a chill guy and considered you my friend, and I'm both sorry for the things you've had to go through and happy that Gaminglight can help you with some of it. I hope you know that while I work with you in command of multiple departments I'm also here for you, as I am for all my Gaminglight friends, if you ever need someone to talk to about the terrible stuff life can throw at you, or just a friendly chat about whatever. I hope Gaminglight continues to help you with whatever life throws at you and I hope things have gotten, and continue to get, rapidly better. Sometimes when things are bad, you clutch at straws, and sometimes you grab a really, really solid straw.
