LULA 2022 - PT 13

I'm going to be real, the ERT idea was good but whoever thought of organizing it like this was smoking crack. People have been clamoring for Cpls to have the Type 115 and for POs to lose the CMR, the ERT license would have been great for that : removing the CMR from non-ERT POs, giving ERT POs the tier 3, and adding the vintage gear shop to ERT Corporals. Even then, the price of the licence and the equipment should have been revisited to be higher, and the things each rank has access to should have been more limited because suppressors at the Corporal level make no sense and you can see that SAPD were going to benefit more than anyone else. Another interesting idea would have been giving Corporals some modified armor for pushing big fights (think up-armored pickup) and maybe access to the Orca outside federal events instead of a papier maché heli with flares. Like often happens, an idea that could have made the Jr APD stronger while keeping things balanced was utterly mismanaged because some seniors couldn't resist the idea of giving themselves cheap new toys and buffing their ranks at the detriment of the rest of the server and the faction. Make no qualms about it; within a week all SAPD would be running around with that shit leading to an inevitable nerf or removal, and senior is an utter money printer to the extent that some of the richest players on the server are career APD making millions a day with expenses of a few 100k.

Always record, this goes double if you're part of a whitelisted faction. It's not about reporting people, but if you record, unless you're outright rule breaking or being extremely reckless a counter-recording with some grey areas is enough to dissuade most players from taking administrative action.

Closer to a medical alert bracelet tbh

Def, a lot of the cheating accusations would be disproven by a kill cam. Still, there are some groups and some players who are sketchy as hell even if most cheating isn't.

@ -dante- has been kicking around the server for close to a decade at this point. When I was Jr APD in 2017 he would consistently play with everyone and listed to their grievances or ideas despite being a sous-chef and the norm being closed channels. As a staff member he was always one of the most accessible ones to the point where even if you had a very stupid rules question he'd explain it without judgment. Luckily I haven't dealt with him in years because I follow the rules 95% of the time, but despite having a golden ticket to retirement he came back, is one of the most active staff members and actually gives a shit. I disagree with his opinion and his judgement from time to time, but no one can say he's not competent and motivated.

The balance is : if you do any sheisty shit with the special gear you can be sent straight to jail by the APD and you are blocked via a script from doing any illegal runs blocking you into legal. Advanced rebel also gives other benefits like special vehicles, an expanded weapons shop, better rebel gear while WPL just gives you a T3 vest and a shitty 6.5 rifle.

How the APD finna be in Kavala with the new muskets

I sov's weekly schizopost

It's so fucking unhinged it become good, an avant garde work using the lens of post-irony to critique the effects MMOs have on interpersonal relationships. @ Marcus yk I FW you, but suppressing that modern art piece is bitchmade, that shit was better than when that french dude threw a urinal in a museum and called it art.

None of us were on when you called in about this mythical stolen truck, but we were playing when he informed us of a run with 4 vehicles at mushroom pro before he engaged you. What kind of robber would inform the police of what they're doing before robbing you? He gave up immediately, got the person who was with them to turn himself in and most of his charges were due to property crimes. The guy also gave us intelligence leading to the seizure of 1.8 million in drugs, was chill, and waited in cuffs for half an hour while we re-enacted the battle for COP Keating with your friends at Sofia HQ (who tried to take us hostage too). Also, you guys were all wanted by the time all was said and done, if you had just been nice and civil instead of threatening to demote us from minute 1 we would have probably just cut you loose, like I said Sov, the client chooses the service they get and you do yourself no favors by being belligerent and going nuclear for small stuff. Within 2 weeks I have gone from not knowing you to having an strong dislike of you, I can only imagine how the cops who've been dealing with your shit for months feel about it.

There are no cops in the thread replying to your vague allusions about rule breaks and demotions because it's 1PM on a Sunday and most people are enjoying their weekend rather than getting into circular arguments about the finer points of Arma 3 roleplay law. Your whole antihero shtick has started to affect you deeply. Not everything is a conspiracy, the APD and the world aren't out to get you and most people are ambivalent about you; that is until you start schizoposting about khaballic networks linking the APD to Sr Staff and in-game gangstalkers all working towards the sole goal of screwing you out of your gear and money. Even worse, half the time you start crying about rules, be they on the APD or on the Civ side you don't actually cite anything so it sounds like you're just pulling things out of your ass and hoping the vague threats work in your favor. I'll be 100 with you. I think at times you have some decent ideas for the server but we've never really interacted... that was until I arrested you twice since coming back for the summer. Every time I've interacted with you on cop you have just been so thoroughly unpleasant between the threats of demotion, disputes, raging and smugness that I now understand why someone would camp your house for an hour to acquire PC, I now get why you're a meme on par with Big John and why some of the APD is just downright rude to you. Like I told you, the customer chooses the service they receive, if you didn't make 30 minute conspiracy videos anytime you felt a cop slightly wronged you, or articuled your points with more eloquence than vague allusions to rules you can't cite and threats maybe the APD would be nice to you. You made me lose my multiple month streak of never giving out full tickets and never seizing guns because of just how toxic it was to deal with you, and I've only "known" you for all of two weeks for crying out loud.

If I leak secret military documents on here do you think we'll get a new influx of players from the media attention?
