Hey Guys, @Roger Purple and I will both post a short post in here of a Monday, open it for discussion, then lock this thread by Wednesday/Thursday. It will be stuff that we are targetting or things we have noticed. You can also discuss what we discuss, or bring up things that are relevant, not just deril the whole thread saying you want miniguns, or something way off the topic. So for me :- Biggest Frustration of the Week : Hands down, Combat Loggers. It was a PLAGUE of them, I know the regulars would not do this, but if this happens to you please bring it to the Help Desk so we can at least talk to the people and get more data around this, I would estimate the Cops had around, 9-12 people do this to us, after a chase and a shootout, another one in cuffs. Some background, we go to Weed processing, and we get these two Zamaks, one flees (thats fine, chase is on) and we get in a shoot out, tazer one, I chase the other about 200 metres, knock him down, we have one in custody from the Processing. So, good Police work yeah? None killed, on a real rush from the chase in the QIlin, then not one, not two, but ALL THREE Combat Log within 20 seconds of each other. Then try to RECONNECT. Banned, 3 days on the spot. Same sort of thing last night, we chase a Rebel Offroad, shoot out tyres, runs into a bush and DCs, tries to reconnect. Fail RP, Combat log, just ruining it for all. We will be cracking down on this. Cop involved myself, @Randall, @masinite, @Roger Purple, plus others play for the chance to RP and take people in, we are doing it all the right way, lights/sirens, knockdowns, taking the risks to just get...combat logged on. If you do the drime, be set to pay the fine, or do the time, and not argue ruleset or DC. Highlights : Events!! Ran a heap, Futures Hope (the Terminators) was to me, awesome. Some real RP came out, @denis, @TrueBlue, @M_Dyet, @Deano, and all the boys all got right into it, @Roger Purple pulling out the robot voice changer, and wow, FIsh (tag in not working for Fluxx tag) just...let go. Fish poked me and said "Can I be the Tech guy and figure some of it out?" and I just said "Its RP mate..go for it" and he rolled out hard, decoding the T-1000, finding the towers, helping John Connor, and sacrificing his life with John at the end, driving a fuel truck into the Comms tower. Some of our finest stuff, and the first real Community Actors. Lets not mention the Rap Battles **COUGH** Police - Cops have been on fire, lot of the new recruits doing some great work. Got that Video up last week of the taze and restrains, very happy with the conduct and output of the Police. So, short and sweet, my colleague will follow on from me, then its open for you guys. Try to keep it upbeat, or at least on point if yout do have a gripe. Hope your all good, see you soon. -Spec

I agree that the combat logging is annoying and is getting worse, people on the server are keen to do the crimes but not do the time or take a hit in the pocket when they are caught. @Spectral@Roger Purple and myself encourage the use of non-lethals for the police force. The ticketing system is how the police earn their money in game and it becomes very frustrating when they make the effort to take someone down and bring them in for the role play and then on your way back to PD they combat log. It would be just as easy for SRT and Sydney 5 to roll heavy and KOS but being that heavy handed is just not fun for all parties involved, I have some pretty heavy weapons at my disposal but roll standard with the MX3GL which means i can can carry knockdowns and gas in addition to flash bangs and lethal clips used as a last resort. In some of the heaviest fire fights Sydney 5 have still used non-lethals and brought in the bad guys and had them combat log. It seems to be fun if they are killing the cops but not much fun when they face a consequence for their actions.

Yeah definitely seen my fair share of combat loggers, makes me want to work through support ranks to get the power to TP them back because god damn we must've gotten atleast 20 this week. Luckily @Spectral @Roger Purple @masinite are usually around to assist with them and if not someone in and around helpdesk can sort them out. As spec said I never use a gun whether we're rolling SRT SYD 5 unit or GD without knockdowns, too powerful to give up to try a new gun so actually detaining and processing and arresting to have them combat log does my head in, some people in prominent gangs have done it in the last week that have been dealt with, hopefully people will get the message that cops play to enforce laws so combat logging to get away from it serves no purpose but to get yourselves banned, I play to keep the peace and enforce laws and deal with crooks, you guys play to avoid that, sometimes you get away or don't even get touched, other times we get a hold of you and that's when it's time to pay for your crimes. Obviously the people that combat log probably won't read this but the TL;DR is we play to deal with criminals, you guys play to avoid cops and other civs, same as respawning instead of waiting for a medic, medics play to role-play with the people they revive/heal. Combat logging to avoid prosecution/processing really kills my vibe as a cop.

Had more combat loggers than I could shoot an MXM at in the last week, been keeping helpdesk busy with it unfortunately 6 for me by last count. But that is more than made up for by settling into my new rank and training up the new batch of recruits and seeing plenty of potential as I take them through inductions and on a ride-along. The Police raids tonight by SRT was really good to see, been far too long since I seen a large scale operation put on by the SRT boys.

You guys really do have a tough run; Multiple RDM's on Medics, Cops VDMing Medics, Suicides at hospital. I think you guys need guns to help you out sometimes.

Good to see some chatter around that and that my finger is definetley on the pulse, that it is a common problem for all. Lets really try to get the message out, maybe some Server Messages out over Email @Axle_Tiaky and talk to the other mods about doing same, once an hour for the next two weeks? Cops, keep being Cops, keep knocking em down and locking em up, if they Combat Log take names and proof to Help Desk, Logging is such a weak act, and is Fail Rp as well as being just weak in general. No need for it on our Server.

Great Event

Yeah banned 5 combat loggers in 40 minutes absolutely insane.

By far, Combat loggers is the biggest issue that I had encountered and had gone to helpdesk maybe 5 times over it. But even then, with the amount of cops who have been on recently, it has been allowing us to go into melbourne and brisbane.

I agree 100%. The representation when wearing tags is extremely high, I personally know that almost every gang has had at least one issue with what someone did wearing that tag. It's the same as school uniforms, not sure what everyone else's schools are like but mine is crazy, No matter where you are, if you do something stupid (Illegal, Dangerous etc. etc.) in uniform and they find out, they will outright suspend you! Stupid stuff while wearing gang tags - Kicked from gang / Banned Same in the police force,

I tell my guys this as much as possible. I don't mind if my guys wear their tags when playing wasteland etc. (in fact i encourage it) so that everyone knows they are there to blow off some steam and so that i know that they can work as a team when not in altis, I encourage my team to play as many games as possible together so that they build a comradery and are less likely to break the rules when no one else is on. I recommend that all leaders do this and it is great for team building and helps keep your guys out of help desk etc.

Well this was a LOT of fun, TS was cracking up. Controlled Chaos TM. Onelap of Kavala lopp, swapped up the vehicles, had 10-15 racers going at some points, RP it with the Cops that it was illegal Street Race and they got to chase down some of the guys.

welcome champ. But not to sure if you will find people who play GTA or h1z1, we are more of an ARMA community but we welcome anyone and everyone. But im sure you will find someone. Best of luck. Regards.
