first off sorry if i step on some toes. yes my spelling is shit so stay in school kids let begin. Lets go through each faction and start on rebels. like always all you do really is banks to kill cops or bitch and moan some thing is op and should be removed or you want something added to give you the upper hand but to burst you bubble altho this is a game its a life server and just like in life the cops will always out number and out gun secondly the posts going around ifrits being removed is stupid because they are alot better to deal with in combat that striders where maby they should be added back in to remind you. as a rebel if you want better leway more fun roleplay more dont be the salty kids sitting on sydney boarder all gear up crying try to roleplay have abit of fun you are rebels yes killing cops is what your ment todo but you also but in doing that you give yourself a bad reputation with not just the cop but the staff because you in more issue than anything and then neather side wants to deal with you and if it get to bad cops just wont respond to bank and get harsher punishments when you do break rules or somthing goes wrong but thats all i have to say for rebels. civs: yes you city rats that i love so much for making me free money from the cops there is alot more to the server than just decing or rdming vdming dyscning and being general trolls it fun and its funny to watch but the people you do it to are not just players who have been on the server for awhile and know this its also new players that you drive off the server which will result in you getting bored really quick roleplay more think of silly situations you can do that could or couldnt work just dont break rules in doing it and you could probly have lot more fun just talking shit and messing around plus other could join and enjoy it aswell. cops: this one is the toes part im not talking about anyone in partticular not even the 3 past commissioners or staff im just saying what i see from coming back here and there over the past 2 years when i left to uncook myself so it might be harsh as cops you have it so easy and such a big head now 90% of the people i have watch and witness do shit wouldn't have made it past sergeant 2 years ago and why is this well you dont act like cops you act like rebels you bare bones roleplay and by that i mean you shoot to kill rather than taze/knock and arrest and if you do arrest its guilty till proven innocent which doesnt happen because you power trip and well what you say goes or its helpdesk bitching and moaning ok i get the arguement that o but there trolls and they always do this blah blah in your sops as of current and its always been 1.3 officers are to value roleplay and maintain a professional standard at all times while representing the police force. 1.3.1 Officers are to value roleplay above any monetary gain from tickets or the bounty system and these are just the 1. in the sops the basics and you cant even do that and yes i hold you cops to alot higher standards than rebel and civ because there should be alot higher standers than bookem and sendem who cares. shit has been made that easy for cops that you cant make many mistakes to then learn from them from the way you conduct yourself around sydney to roleplaying basic cop everyday shit. medic: no you havent changed in my books you all take forever to respond and cant drive to save you own life but medic roleplay has dropped alot aswell half of you if not most dont even talk unless your complaing about somthing. Staff i know a few of you and yes hope to rejoin at somepoint and help as someone now looking back in and seeing the changes seeing id say at the moment a very low point for the server alot has changed alots probly happend for these changes but i think for the rules allowing to use names while in combat silly and abit of a push over to make it easyer for 1 faction for sydney i think havent clothing itself banned in sydney is silly as its ment to be a sort of representation on life as its a life server i do agree tho with vests and helmest and the guns but for people running around who care what you are wearing what you wear can change the roleplay for both between or worst for the party and create more roleplay options aswell as face masks so that even then cops can have there detectives up and running around sydney trying to completly get people in the act which could reduce the amount of trolls aswell as killings in sydney. so with all this said and if your going to say dead server and carry on why are you here if you dont care about the server if you are reading this or on the server then there is something keeping you hear and i simply asking for help as a civ a shit shot a old school roleplayer and current pubslot for your help to return the server to its once roleplay rich ways where both old and new players had a heap of fun and dumb shenanigans

@Nigel, back when I used to play a few of years ago, there was actually decent roleplay, a clean server that everyone joined in to rp, cops were decent like you could bribe them, theyd have an understanding, you would actually be able to have a fair trial. I 100 percent agree with everything you said and I think that everyone needs to look what is happening, rebels and cops with their desync battles, hardly any combat and civs roaming sydney rdming and deccing on every bloke and his dog. From what JdawgZ said about adding an epidemic like a virus would definately spice it up a bit, I still remember when the admins set that up once, was wicked. I have been playing on and off for the past few years now due to school and work but I jumped on a couple of months back and I found that this is how the server is now.

Gone, but not forgotten.

I agree, Livonia is crying out for Enhanced Movement. The map is challenging enough to warrant it and id guess most that play it would have the mod already or wouldn't object to getting it.

I agree and i disagree on this point... The rule was specifically about gang tags, not about names. The purpose of the rule was to add balance back to the Cops vs Gang scenario. in rebel vs rebel or civ vs civ combat, when dec'd on, you all use the gang names to identify who you are fighting and who you can incapacitate or target. for cops, its even easier for rebels, you can just look at the uniform and vehicle and see the cops coming long before you see a name tag. in Sydney it was worse, rats would dec on cops, walk up to them and chase them then wait for the cop to turn around and kill them. The cop couldnt do shit until a hostile action was taken. This was perhaps the most stupid part of the game I personally had ever seen. This isnt roleplay and a life server you dont dec on some one then stand next to them for 9 mins and walk with them then shoot them. People wonder why the rule change came in, blame the way the rats would dec/then in plain sight be trolling. I agree with you though, it removes alot of old roleplay which was fun. Cops having to trick you into revealing your identity or catching you breaking a law and decing on you etc. - - - Sydney should be the pinnacle of roleplay on the server, but its not, both civs and cops are to blame. Cops dont want to roleplay with you if they cant stand still for longer than a minute without receiving 3 or 4 decs in that time, they are not going to bother with RBT or trying to give you a roadside ticket cause in the time it takes them to finish roadside roleplay, theyd have been killed 4 times over by civs with nothing better to do. Cops should be trying to tase and restrain, but half the time they try take you back to PD, people eject out of vehicles while in restraints (not VLR) to kill themselves, they scream in their discords for friends to kill them (as a retired mod, i cant tell you how many times i have heard that in evidence videos provided "just kill me before he takes me back"). The side chat of gangs cohesively telling eachother exactly where cops are and working together etc. Then when they do get you back to PD, the same stories told over and over again, then laywers come and do the exact same thing every single time.... i look forward to seeing you nigel in the processing rooms cause its always really funny. Other lawyers seem to follow the same lame script and nothing changes lol. At the same time, Civs dont want to roleplay cause aside from runs outside of city limits, the only thing the server offers is combat or being a troll/rat. So back to my personal POV, theres nothing to do in sydney lol. So what roleplay can civilians do? theres no jobs or points of interest in sydney. so being a rat is literally the main point of Sydney. After wipe, cops left sydney - the city was abandoned and the pop near but all died. Cops barely saw civs or rebels only to occasionally enter into boring dsync battles or banks. Civs basically left the server cause all they wanted to was be rats. The medics try to role play and often get told no or to **** off.... aside form revives all they have is verbal roleplay "are you ok, you need to come to hospital with meso i can roleplay operate on you" etc - no one wants to to do it tho and for the medics theres nothing in the server that gives them anything else to do (i always wanted to see extra things like endemics or plagues etc) No jobs meant nothing really to do and because people dont have purposes any more, the roleplay that goes with it is dead. So yea Roleplay is definitely missing, every faction has a part to play - medics really need to learn to drive - i personally believe we need a new meta or purpose for rebels and civs to do and enjoy where combat isnt the main focus, but a resort they will happily go to if you interfere with their purpose. Then Roleplay in my opnion will start to come back. These are my thoughts - agree or disagree just dont be salty lol

100 Percent agree with you on this one @JdawgZ, couldn't have said it any better myself ?

I highly disagree with many of the complaints about little roleplay. Myself and the Farmers Union gang find roleplay scenarios every session without fail. Yes we kill civi's BUT there's ALWAYS roleplay involved (eg getting them up to the farm, getting them to "deliver" weaponry to other members, etc.). Yes we are Sydney rats, but that's because it's the only place we can get legitimate, entertaining roleplay. Rebels always seem to play the same game of robbing, simon says, or hostage scenarios. These get excruciatingly boring after the 10th time. Sydney has many new players and many more opportunities to engage in humorous yet legitimate roleplay. For people trying to say there isn't roleplay... you're trying hard enough.
