Hello All, Over the recent week, a lot of people have been asking me for my opinion on certain issues. I'm here to address as much as I can and hopefully clear some things up regarding Cop, Civ, and Medic. Cop The main issue that I've been asked for my opinion is regarding promotions and how they're being given out. In my eyes promotions are deserved, they're not something which should be given out for doing something for a certain amount of time. They're also not something which you gain for backstabbing somebody else. Cop has been really and still is quite competitive for promotions; This is good as it keeps people motivated. However, it reaches a certain degree of insanity as people try and backstab people for promotions or a chance to reach a top rank or achieve a senior role. In my eyes if people do something wrong, if it's severely wrong; yes report it to a high rank. However certain people going out of their way to ruin others reputation or report them for everything small thing they do. I love the promotion system however it's gotten to a point that people are trying to pick on other people or are scared they're not going to get promoted. This isn't a system where time gets you everywhere. People get places from being exceptional at doing what they do. Promotion is something which is a reward and not something which is gained by reporting certain cops or being apart of the APD for a certain time. Civ There's a lot to be said about civ right now. I'll try and keep it focused on civ's and not in their relation to the cops. I think the highlighted issue with the Civ faction is the ability either; Not to Help Each Other or Pick on the Cops Teamwork is an essential part of this game, it's something which can't be avoided in this game or in life. Being apart of a team is vital to surviving and exceeding in this game. You can't do it alone. However, you're able to use the group "Civs" to help you go places. Instead of robbing them, tax them. Make them work for you, where they get some cut. It's a situation where they're new to the server and are trying to establish a working knowledge of this server and how things work. I know @Rhys Beckett is very good and kind when it comes to new players. He see's new people, invites them to his gang. Teaches them the ropes of the server and helps them get on their own feet. Whether it's giving them money or even not trying to kill them. This can be beneficial as it keeps them on the server and increases the population. It's good right now, as there are a wide variety of gangs on the server. With the new gang base system it should create some competition, however shouldn't stop groups from working together in other aspects of the game. Ok, something I wanted to avoid however here I am finding myself writing about it..... The relationships with Cops. I'm not sure who was on last night, nobody was aware of this, however I was running a bit of an experiment on Cop and Civ. Whilst on Cop: I went out and manned CP1. I walked towards the old PC1, within 23 seconds of walking outside city limits I found myself surrounded by 5 striders. It's a situation where the cops don't want to fight however just want to explore the world outside city limits. This will lead back to another post where Civs can't have nice things due to a bad relationship with the cops as they know they're always being baited to situations. Whilst on Civ: I was under an alias just standing at Syd bridge it took 4 minutes for me to be cross-fired and killed by a cop. Now I know in both of these scenarios these accidents are waiting to happen. However just wanted to come in and see how bad it really was. Medic Where have the Medics Gone? As much as it sucks to say, they've been poached to another server. They were offered high ranking roles in another server and they took the chance. That's there decision to make, however, that's where everybody's gone and I'm sure they'll be back soon.

That was quick

Thought I lost my real Dad to a kiwifruit..... welcome back Jewy!

Hey lads, very recently I had a pretty bad experience with the police whilst playing on civ. I drove to the PD in order to report a crime and immediately got shot at by a pub slot. Seeing as though that's a dec, I drove out of the PD carpark and waited around a corner to kill the police officer (as you do xD). After I killed the cop he returned and instantly started shooting me, meaning he meta-gamed and broke NLR. I managed to kill him again as well as the other 3 cops online at the time. Once the police called the dec off, I messaged the highest ranking police officer who is also staff (I won't name him) and asked him to train up his pub slots. I don't necessarily blame the officers who meta gamed me but I am disappointed at the lack of effort of the higher ranking officers in the force. Anyways, later on in the day whilst playing under the alias Jiinx I attended the police checkpoint that was set up and got arrested for avoiding the checkpoint. I tried to roleplay my way out of it but it didn't work. This is what happened next: Now once again, I don't blame the pubbies for their actions I'm sure they didn't have much experience and were unaware of what they were doing. I instead blame the officer who completely ignored my request to train the pub slots. Police force, pick up your shit. The lack of effort is sad.
