Rad01

Greetings Citizens of Australia This is a Public Service Announcement. Prime Minister Rad is retiring from office, from SIS and from gaming. It's been a blast! Over the past few months playing Altis life with the Straya community has created some extraordinary gaming experiences for me. Alot of laughs, memes and esctasy has been the standard. I've met some great people with fantastic stories, I've met some people who loved cracking jokes and I've met some colourful people too. Overall, it's been a blast. But as I felt watching the last episode of Star Trek The Next Generation a few years ago, as the episode title suggests, all good things must come to an end. As of effect, on this Tuesday, the 17th of July at 1:44 am, I'm retiring from gaming..... permanently. Why? Life plans and goals. After leaving school, the path forwards was not clear. Now I can see my future with absolute clarity. All I gotta do is make it reality, so I'm beginning my life in earnest today. I spent about an hour and a half writing my life story down, I was going to post it, but I realised now is not the time to release it. It'll probably be in a book or the newspapers someday in the future but for now, it's the fuel propelling me to the future. Everyone has a story. Roleplay stories are fun, but life stories, that the currency of the soul. I will hold an honourary Director position within SIS should I ever come back but from now on @Snowy is lead Director of SIS from now on. Also my chief of staff Joshua is now acting executive of the Government project. A new PM election will have to be held. Special shoutout to: Snowy, Shep, FarmerGeorge, Jdawgz, Fletcher, Lachlan, Slep, Thorn, Augnov, Bow, Sagara, Corey, Bails, Robert Hill, Snow, Icey, JotJTX, Hope, Sir Deadpool, Skyfise, Barry Lawrence, Stevo and Falcon. I might be around in the future, but probably not. I'll miss you guys. Take care! -> Rad

The Senate Election Because a solo Prime Minister is a tyrant. And we hate tyrants. Do you want to have a meaningful impact on the lives of Australians? Do you want to boss other people around? Would you like to have SIS bodyguards/APD meatbags hover around you to keep potential assassins 2 meters away at all times? Well look no further! The senate election is here! Positions within the Senate that needs to be filled: 1x Imperator: The imperator only votes if there is a deadlock in the senate. The imperator is the deciding vote. Very important position. 4x Senators: The white wearing lads who vote on parliamentary issues. (In reality all senators will be wearing pink suits... Why can't we reskin pink to white? Pretty please) How to apply for the Senate 1. Make a reply to this post with the following application filled out: ------- Name: Age: How much time have you played in Strayagaming? Why would you be a good senator? Who would recommend you? Include their @names -------- 2. Get as many people to like your post as possible. Every like counts as a vote. In 3 days (on Friday) the new senate will form and applications will close. 3. The imperator is decided from majority rules, senate vote. 4. Applications with the most votes will be elected into office. 5. You will hold your office for 1 month before another Senate Election occurs. Senator Guidelines NOTE: THIS IS A ROLEPLAY POSITION ONLY. Unfortunately I realised that actual recognition from the staff for a proper official staff-recognised Government takes a lot of time, hard work and dedication with scripting, TS tags, graphics design and protocol (Constitution writing) construction. So why turn a game into a job? I already have one as it is. I don't have much time leftover. Plus staff are busy being staff, not programers. We need the staff to keep doing their jobs. If you would like to help write a functioning legitimate consitution, feel free to PM me or @Joshua_ As an unofficial publicly elected Prime Minister, I hereby bestow the power of my word as constitutional law. These are the guidelines for senators: Voting Laws Senators can vote/propose anything, however at the end of a day, before a bill or decision can be passed it needs 2 things: 1. Senate consensus on the vote 2. The Royal Assent from the Prime Minister Basically, the entire senate acts as 1 vote, and the PM is the other vote. If full consensus is achieved, the vote is passed. Ideas for things to vote on: 1. Special prosecutor to investigate police/medic/government misconduct 2. Tax cuts 3. More national holidays 4. Legalise (Insert word) NB: Only legal for 24 hours with police consent. 5. Criminalise (Insert word) NB: Only criminal for 24 hours with police consent. 6. Declare martial law (Give SIS and the Cops permission to use lethal force to stop riots/chaos) 7. More senators 8. Create (title) position Really the sky's the limit. Just be mindful that all votes only happen within Roleplay and is not binding on APD laws. National Security Now that you're a senator, this means you are an important person. That means a threat on your life is a threat to national security. This means that you will have to rely upon the APD and SIS to protect you against all would-be assassins. (This will form a major part of senate RP -> Keeping Gov Officials alive) What happens next? After the election is complete, senators will be invited to join the Government Gang (Note: Any voice group comms will result in an instant kick). Senator names will be written down in a word document, and an amendment will be made to the SIS/Government contract with the APD to provide security for new Senators. Note: Misconduct, breaking server rules, breaking roleplay will result in a Senate enquiry. If you are found guilty by a jury of your fellow peers, you will be kicked from the Senate and all security privilages will be revoked. While you are a senator you are expected to remain in character at all times. Also note you must include your new tags: Senator PS: Like the concept? Want proper official recognition from the APD for a Senate? Leave a like to show your support! -Rad

@Shima @Jewbacca @Snappers It looks like we're going to have a solo senate... In the case we don't get 2 more Senator applications, this is what we're going to do: We're going to have a vote for Deputy Prime Minister. The senate will be suspended and executive power split between the Prime Minister and the Deputy.

Just a poll. As Prime Minister I need to know the sentiments of the public. And yes, this is a public poll. Enjoy!

Rad for Prime Minister (Disclaimer: This is just for role-play purposes and laughs. Not to be taken seriously) 1.0 Mission Statement The state of affairs in Australia is currently appalling. The judicial government has been shut down and the seperation of powers no longer exists. Governmental executive and judicial power has been centralised to the Police. The Police have become Judge, Jury and Executioner. This has led to Tyranny, Rebellion and Police Brutality on a scale never before imaginable. Terrorist organisations roam the streets, abducting innocent civilians to sacrafice to their deities and vigilantes perform public executions on every corner of Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane have become ghost towns while Sydney has become a warzone between the Police, Rebels and Cartels who vie for domination on every corner with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. It's time we change. It's time to restore the Government 1.1 Who is Rad? Rad is your savior. Rad is a philanthropist. Rad is a public servant in the Police force. Rad was once a slave, forced into servitude by malicious individuals who profited from his labor. Rad had humble beginnings. He started his journey at the age of 18, picking peaches for a living. He would bring home his pay for his family, which consisted of himself, his mother and his brother. A few months later, Rad decided that he needed to invest in his future, so he bought himself a truck, a pickaxe and a copper processing license. Mining copper was one of the best decisions Rad ever made. At this time, new developments in electrical wiring created a new relentless demand for copper, so Rad lucked in, as he was mining copper during a boom. Rad started getting rich; he hired a few people and began his first company by the age of 19. Rad was a shrewed businessman, he made deals with the chinese to import goods for ridiculously cheap prices and sold on Australian made products to the world, winning multi-national awards for the highest quality and best made products on the global marketplace. Rad became a multi-millionaire by the age of 20. For 5 years afterwards, unbelievable success would follow Rad, his colleagues thought he was Midas-Touched while his rivals praised his intelligence and cunning. On one cold night, in the heart of winter disaster struck. His rivals colluded to bring down his business empire and on the 4th of July they struck. As firecrackers and fireworks lit up the skies, Rad was enjoying the view from his balcony. Then a band of highly-trained infiltrators rappeled down from a black-hawk helicopter and took Rad captive. They pointed a gun at his head and said: "Your money or your life!" Rad was doomed. While rad loved his millions he was forced to give out his bank account details and he was cleared completely out. Rad was now broke. Seconds after the last transaction, the infiltrators betrayed their word and took Rad's life, but not in the way you think. Rad was kidnapped. Year after year of enslavement, forced to cultivate and harvest high end drugs for the criminal cartel that had taken Rad captive. A huge lesson in humility was learnt. Rad's brother joined the Police force after he was taken to fight back against these relentless and heartless criminals. Rad's daily tasks during this time was usually: 1. Polish the floors of the Cartel's hideout 2. Grow and process drugs 3. Murder people 4. Steal Kidneys The psychological trauma of those years would haunt Rad for many nights afterwards. One christmas, many years later Rad got lucky. Rad was being transfered to Cartel Command to finally be recruited and actually paid for all the work he used to do as a slave. He was being moved by helicopter. A paperclip from Rad's transfer papers mysteriously found itself into his possession. Half-way through, in the middle of no-where Rad finally lockpicked his cuffs. Grabbing a parachute out of the heli and nicking the guard's cell phone Rad jumped out and parachuted to the ground. Before the cartel knew what happened, Rad had vanished. Unfortunately, as a Slave, Rad was not permitted proper clothing, only underwear and soon he started to freeze. It was a cold summers night. Rad dialed 000 and begged for aid. A man by the name of F. George answered the call. George personally flew out a helicopter to pick up Rad, and after hours of searching the mountains, with the aid of compass directions George finally found Rad. Rad never felt so safe or happy to be alive before. As Rad started to warm up in the chopper, George gave him a cup of coffee and some donuts. The ecstasy of sugar never felt so good before. Years of brutality and malnutrition had made Rad physically weak. When George and Rad got back to Syd PD, George called in a professional psychiatrist by the name of Sir Deadpool who helped Rad recover from the ordeal. George called in a few forensic analysers to recover Rad's stolen millions which by a stroke of luck never got moved to off-shore accounts. During Rad's counselling sessions, he had a Revelation The realisation that people are more important than money. That greed will cause you to bleed. This gave Rad a whole new perspective on life. Rad remembered the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." It was so sudden, Rad finally had life purpose once again. In one patriotic act, Rad signed up to join the police force and gave away millions to victims of Criminal Cartels. Rad gained an in-depth understanding of the police force, of Law and of order and still serves as a public servant to his country to today. Rad has the honorary rank of Constable and fights to save lives from Criminals on a daily basis. 2.0 The Agenda If Rad gets elected prime minister, these are the goals of Rad's Reign. 1. Restore the Judicial Government and refine the process. This will be done by placing the onus on the defendant to prove innocence, through screenshots etc. Most cases can be heard by just a judge with the exception of manslaughter, which will result in a trial whereby a jury consisting of 3 unbaised individuals (No affiliation with the person in question) that can be made up from the Police Force and the Public (Depending on who is avaliable at the time) with majority rules. By placing the onus on the Defendant, this should expedite the Judicial process exponentially. Another feature of the new system would be to revamp the prison system, when a subject is arrested, they go to a holding cell to wait out their sentence or until their case is heard by a court. This way the cop gets paid the bounty + Judicial rp can take place. If a subject gets found guilty of a jailable offence in court, prison RP can take place in the normal Correctional Facility. 2. Commission the ASIS (SIS -> Australian Secret Intelligence Service). We must fight terror with terror. If terrorists can't trust anyone, they are less likely to commit acts of terror since they know they can be arrested and busted at any time if a member of the SIS infiltrates their cell. 3. Implement a 4% tax on police bounties. The tax revenue from this will be spent to fund the court system and the new lottery. 4. Commission Rad's POTTY. Doesn't everyone want a taste of Rad? With Rad's POTTY everyone who buys a ticket gets a chance to sit on Rad's POTTY and potentially win a MILLION bucks! 5. Commission LIBERTY WORKS. Since our country faces an unemployment crisis on the likes which has never been seen before, we must take proactive measures to prevent a depression. This includes new unemployment programs to help people find work and a UBI (Universal Base Income) to provide money to the poor. 6. EXECUTE THE BANKERS. I mean what the hell do the tellers even do anyways? We all use atms these days. All tellers do is hand money to people with guns. They should be punished. 7. FEDERALISE THE FEDERAL RESERVE. Did you know the Federal Reserve is actually a private bank? The treasury borrows money from the federal reserve which the federal reserve prints into existence. Then when the government pays back it's debt with interest, the profits are rewarded among the private shareholders of the Federal Reserve. At least if we confiscate the federal reserve from the banksters, we'll all be debt-slaves to the government, rather than some greedy banker. 8. RAISE INTEREST RATES. I'm pretty sure all Australians agree that paying a million bucks for a house is stupid. Yet why do people do it? Well it's simple, because most people believe there is no other choice. By raising interest rates, I Rad, will solve the housing crisis. By raising interest rates it makes it impossible to pay back a mortgage. Then that said person will have to sell their house since it costs too much. When you have everyone selling their house at the same time for the same reason, it drops the housing price ridiculously. You may ask, "But Rad, won't that be a housing crisis?" Well here's the little nifty, get-out-of-jail free card for the economy. It's called bankruptcy. Make everyone bankrupt, make housing prices affordable again. After that, spend 2-5 years working to buy a house rather than your lifetime. Everyone gets happy. Those are the 8 goals for Rad's first 100 days. After this is accomplished, here's a few extra goals: 9. LEGALISE WEED. You're probably going to get murdered by some other guy trying to steal your weed. Why fear the police as well? Plus the extra tax revenue can be sent to Rad's POTTY. 10. ISSUE BLANKETS. Things are going to get cold. Ever heard of a Grand Solar Minimum before? 11. TAX CARTELS. If we implement a 20% tax on illegal drugs, cartels are more likely to be nicer to normal people. Plus the extra tax can go to Rad's POTTY. 12. SELL A WALL. China has one. America wants one. Buy a wall at Chinese prices to sell at American prices? The difference can fund the unemployed and the extra can go to Rad's POTTY. 13. Announce a new public holiday called PRAISE THE RAD. A great prime minister defininately needs a day dedicated to himself to feed his unbelievably understated ego. 3.0 What you can do to help If you want a greater Australia, you need a greater Rad. Let's form the Rad Union. Donate to Rad today! to help fund his campaign for Prime Minister. If you're a rebel, hijack the news station and force them to tell everyone how Rad is their Savior. If you're a Cartel, donate a portion of your drug revenue to Rad to help fund his campaign. If you're a cop, advocate for peace in our time by convincing people that Rad will make radical change in our country. For the better. Plus offer free body guard services, afterall, there's plenty of meat bags *cough, I mean white shirts that can ordered to offer acceptable protection against terrorists. If you're a civ, you can just simply voice your support for Rad in public. The RU Party will be victorious in the next election! 4.0 Classified (Out of rp section) Hey guys, hope you enjoyed the read. Please feel free to comment on your favourite points or like. I do have a question for the community however: Should we make this a role-play thing? (Protect the President/Prime minister, elections and all that rp. Could be quite fun) -> Cheers Rad

As PM, I know why SRT takes 30 minutes. It's because the damn senate won't allow me to declare martial law and make Sydney a KOS zone. Here's the situation: When you have uncontrollable chaos, you gotta end it quick, before it results in too many deaths. SRT is there to apprehend targets who turn civil protests into a bloodbath. And that's precisely the problem: Apprehend. Cops are told to prioritize non-lethals. That gives incentive to the public to rebel when they see people tazed. For example the public rebels to stop poor Farmer Joe being sent to jail for self defense or Jack being kidnapped by the police. At least that's the public's viewpoint. You see, since the cops try to spare and protect as many lives as possible, they put even more at risk. What SRT does is roam around Sydney, telling people to go indoors (who clearly don't) and that allows terrorists in masks to gun cops down in the street, using civilians as human cover. That results in long-drawn out confrontations and unbelievable chaos. As PM, this is what I propose. Introduce Bill 66. Instead of trying to save people, save law and order instead. I propose instead of sending in SRT to act as heavily armed, tear gas throwing, GD white shirt spray and prey cops, declare martial law instead. This will also solve the masked cop assassin problem. Here is the procedure. 1. Declare martial law. Give people 2 minutes to get inside a building or a safe zone. 2. Get SRT, SIS, Cops and Contractors to set up sniper positions throughout Sydney 3. After 2 minutes have passed, shoot everyone still in the streets. 4. Sweep the streets progressively and hoard all the civilians into concentration camps. 5. Process all civilians. If they come up as clear, let them go. 6. Send all criminals to forced labor camps to repair all the damage they've caused to the public. Do this properly and order will be restored within 10 minutes. Within 20 minutes, everyone is on their merry way with all terrorists and rebels detained. Plus this is way more fun than waiting around in a house. Will bill 66 ever get passed? Probably not. Will civilians keep getting massacred by the APD and rebels in the crossfire? Most definitely. Will human sacrifices continue? Always. Vote Rad for Prime Minister in the next election! PS: Still drafting the constitution. I blame my lack of time. If you would like to help create an actual system of Government, PM me. -Your benevolent and baby kissing Prime Minister!

Is this what you listen to when you play rebel all alone?

Side effects may include heart attack, dizziness, vomiting, nausea, seizures, cognitive impairment, instantaneous combustion, violent outbreaks and death. Use at your peril.

Nuu!

No spider shall kill me

As unofficial PM, I'd like to state that studies have shown that powerful scopes on rifles are bad for the health of innocent civilians. For example, a good, honest hardworking copper miner doing his toil for the day shouldn't be exposed to the rebel menance. But rebels with high power rifles, with good scopes can ransom the poor lad from over 1km away. It's just not fair for good, honest, hardworking legal civilians. We need to stop wanton violence. Reduce guns before guns reduce you. Or legalise high-end powerful weaponry so everyone has a chance. Imagine that poor copper miner with a LRR. At least he'd have a chance! -PM Rad

1. Elected to power by the citizens of Altis. Not that the elections were rigged or anything 2. New Government Agencies (As specified in my 100 day Agenda-> ASIS (Shortened to SIS now)). The best way to stop crime is to prevent crime with more crime. Hence the *secretive nature of this organisation. -PM Rad *Not so

Skip to 4:00. Laugh your guts out . When I saw that truck speed up to 300 KPH, I knew I had to post this lol.

Yes, you can use lethals for banks now. It looks like the APD protocals have recently been changed, so it might be different now, but from what I understand, once your 1 week tazer probation period ends, you can use knockdowns on GD (But since it can be buggy, I'd recommend only using KDs on the Mark 20). Only use Lethals if your life is in danger in an active combat situation, but generally, knockdowns are your friend.

Medics on Juries, sounds great!

@Joshua_ Thanks bud! Feel free to start getting the word out! How does "Chief of Staff" sound? I think you deserve the role if I get elected
