I bet I can throw a grenade through that window

I really didn't want to respond to this, but I'll be civil and do so. Firstly, thank-you for taking the time and effort to make a public apology. It is appreciated. Without going into detail, the whole sequence of events was a fantastic demonstration of selfishness, unprofessionalism and naivety. I hope that ALL parties learnt from the experience. Throwing others under the bus for your own personal gain is incredibly selfish and short sighted. Have a look at how the community reacts when you do something like that... Unfortunately my views on this incident or you for that matter will not be changing, as I have heard many promises from you before about changing your behaviour. Remember the time you threw all my group members under the bus over a spat you had with me, making them all lose hours and hours of hard grinding? Not cool. Luckily for you, most people here are oblivious to your previous incidents. Good luck with this new attitude and outlook, I hope you can maintain it.

Sometimes standing against evil is more important than defeating it.

@Boulter thank-you for putting up with our bad tempers, especially mine <3 <3

On behalf of the Qwerty Contracting Group, I would like to congratulate STAR on their Gang Base fight victory! That was a fantastic fight guys, and quite close too!

Thank-you for giving up your time to run this; we had a lot of fun! @Pezza @Lotza

@Hope

We were blown away by what we saw

Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy.

@Fusionable thank-you for the support my good sir! Please have a read of your PMs. @Slaze Please specify which round/s you would like to compete in, and when you think it should be run. @InfamousNova I'm very glad to hear that you would like some of my money. Please specify which round/s you would like to compete in, and when you would like to see the race take place.

@Augnov a very well articulated response mate. I believe you have successfully summarised a lot of what many people have been attempting to say. +1 from me.

Maybe in the Bunnings parking lot afterwards, but not in the race @Martynnnnnnn

@Slaze Well, it is an issue that involves and affects a lot of people. That's why it is crucial that people come and express their opinion so that they aren't disappointed with the result

@Fusionable @Slep. thanks for your replies guys. This clarifies the issues I raised. I look forward to seeing this wipe come into affect, my vote is now a yes. Thanks to all of those who participated in this discussion with me.

@Jewbacca thanks for your reply. I'm sorry if I came across as saying that ALL officers in that general rank bracket are just there for frags. That is simply not the case. You are absolutely correct in saying that this doesn't reflect the whole Senior Constable - Sergeants rank bracket, my observation is reflective of a few officers. This is something that I'm sure can be easily rectified, it's simply something that I have noticed a lot more recently.

@Red is there the potential for us to get an indication of what these changes are? I feel it would assist in the formulation of people's opinions and or vote. It's difficult for the community to vote on the poll if they aren't aware of management's plan and ideas.

Loadout cost is another element that needs to be looked at. As @Caiden said, it will be extremely difficult for rebels to fight cops with a bank balance wipe.

@nclem thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment. I can recognise the value of resetting/wiping the server. It's long overdue and I too believe it will provide us all with a fresh start. What I was trying to get at with my comments in regard to the APD & APS, was that unlike in those departments where rank is often the principle objective, for contractors/rebels it is our items and money. I speak on behalf of many when I say that it took us months and months, years for some, to reach our current position. I'm personally not sure what the best way around this is, and I would really like to hear what the community thinks. Unlike the APD, contractors aren't going to be able to start immediately on their feet. It will take us weeks, potentially months to grind off of legal runs just to become operational... What do you guys think?

Hi @Fusionable, thanks for taking the time to reply. I totally agree with your point about implementing the player suggestions first, and then determining exactly what we need to wipe. What are your thoughts in regards to my comment about resetting the APD & APS? In my opinion, the APS has gone incredibly stale, and those who I've talked to have complained bitterly about the promotion system. Players who play consistently with good role-play are stuck in low positions while those who are in the senior ranks play inconsistently and usually just hop on to make some money or troll us contractors... The APD is better managed, kudos to @Augnov and his cabinet for that, but I do find that there are many people in the mid-level ranks (Senior Constable - Sergent) who are only there for the 'frags' and the money. When I hand rebels/items into the cops, I often find the pubslots are the best role-players, and actually respond to authorization requests. What are your thoughts? Am I right or am I seeing a non-existent problem? @Fusionable

My only concern with this is that while Cops/Medics get to keep their rank and access to gear, contractors and rebels are going to have to work from the ground up. Look how long it took cops to attain their rank, it is the same for how we accrued our money/items. You take away our resources and their implodes contractors, and possibly rebels. As I see it, there are two better options: 1. A complete wipe that includes removing APD and APS ranks. 2. Keep APD & APS ranks, and bank balance. Completely wiping would destroy some of the small, and large groups who actually contribute to the role-play on the server. If we are going to go down the wipe everything route, then it should be wipe everything.

My whole life just flashed before my eyes, I gave it 2 stars

I was click baited...

I would call my planet "Earth 2.0" or "OMG, maybe we should have listened to the climate scientists". ?
