07 Mr, I remember all the fun we use to have and still remember quite well the very important bandanna aviators that I made you lose after being robbed.

I appreciate you taking me under your wing all that time ago and I'm glad I learnt from you when I could.

How much for just the 4c alone?

I'm not gonna lie, I was not wanting to post my opinion or response here. In all honesty I wanted to just lay-low play on here and maybe work my way up the ranks and build a new rep. (rather the old shitty one I have)

In my time playing here and my vast experience around a lot of places I will give my 2cense on what I think should happen and my opinion across the board.

Disclaimer alert. Winters is someone I would consider a good friend, this is no attack on him or anyone at all mentioned during this, I will try to remain as neutral and bias as possible with the known information I have available to me. That being said if you disagree with what i have to say then feel free to tell me and why ill happily listen.

APD

The Problem

As it stands, 10Hours a WEEK for Sapd is ridiculous considering it is being imposed on the faction now. If it was already a thing in the past it is more understandable but I'm guessing during a meeting Ryan told Winters/dep chiefs that Sapd need to be more interactive with Jr APD and to lead by example, in which the way around this that was suggested and implemented is a heavy hour requirement. Sure this is 1 way of doing this but maybe not the correct or needed way for the current time.

Let me tell you why 10 hours a week will never work if you want to increase activity/interaction with Jr APD and overall motivation. On another community called ANZUS their hour requirements for whitelisted factions (Cop and medic) are a bit differnt.

in a nutshell: 10Hours+ every 2 weeks marks you active (this has recently changed tho) 5-9 Hours is Semi-active and anything under 5 is inactive.

The important thing to note is this is General Ops so basically Jr APD on here. The specialised departments with the cool shit and better equipment (Sapd over here) must hit 10hours every week. 10 hours a week for some people who never touch grass is piss easy. 10 hours a week for people who have relationships to manage, jobs to keep them alive with this economy rn and people who don't piggy bank of mommy and daddy's bank account tends to crank up the pressure by 10x This being said some people manage it others do not. 

In simple terms. DO NOT enforce 10 hours a week for people who, at the end of the day, want to play a video game that gives them some joy and satisfaction with friends or even make new friends whilst doing it. YOU ARE WORKING A PART TIME JOB this is coming from someone who was forced to put in 10hours a week for 6+months. it is not acceptable or sustainable it is just a short handed way to remove people in positions because you cant or wont remove them for anything else and they are just holding up a spot that someone else could take.

Now with regards to Jr APD interaction, when i first played here to now i have seen a difference already. Matter of fact Shout out too the retired sapd guys who have been playing with me (jr APD) more than some Cpls/Sapd. Don't get me wrong their are some Cpls and Sapd who i have seen nearly every day get on and play and they are the real hero's icl (when im a deputy or Po killing myself at a 9am fed by AZOV or TP).

The truth is no matter what people will complain about sapd not being able to interact with lower ranks enough or not being around etc and that is 70% due to only being about 14 people strong in a 90+ member faction. Po Joe Swanson is not going to be remembered as well enough as Sgt Yakgod who was seen logging on the exact same time and day as Po Joe but people will say Yakgod is inactive or not putting in his times when Po joe has put in 15+ hours but only been playing in the morning with Yakgod. This in mind im not defending saying they are all gods and active etc etc. I do agree with Bojo that some do just play in hidden channels all day long and avoid Jr APD which is quite a shame tbh but their is also always 2 sides to the case (sometimes myself included I just want to play with my friends for a bit to cheer me up or have a laugh, plus I know I can let loose a bit and not have to be always professional etc)

The Solution

Bye bye winters. Sorry but it is needed at this rate.

Cm and Chief is a conflict of interest 1 has to go (if he wants too that is) and tbh like mentioned i just dont see mako as an amazing fit for chief. He has kept the boat sailing as CM why get rid of a good CM when you can have both?

Caden i cant comment on as i have not really seen him much around to play with him.

Im not gonna carry this on cuz ill be here for ever. 

Simple thing too do is open up LOI's. Have Ryan manage and be the head off the process. He will select some individuals of his choosing (who will NOT be announced to people and will try to abstain from bias and opinion)

• Lois will be open to lets say Cpl+ 
• A 72hour period to allow submission
• Ryan with his selected people will go over the candidates and do a Yes, maybe, no vote
• Those with majority yes votes will move onto the interview stage
• Must be interviewed by Ryan and 1 other member he has selected
• Once all done they will do a final vote/decision
• Next chief appointed

The Reason it is Cpl+ is to help allow possible progression into the Sapd. Their is a very low chance a Cpl will get Chief but if he does a really good job overall then he can be looked at for Sapd

This brings me onto my second point for improvement. Open up Cpl LOI's and Sgt LOI's to allow Po's and Cpls to be looked at for promo so Sapd can have a big list of people that want too progress and can be looked at extra carefully. It also means they have to gain an opinion on them, vote and explain why they voted the way they did and finally give them a shot at the Cpl/Sgt test too see if they have the knowledge to uphold the rank.

I'm gonna end it here cuz its a lot and I wanna play OW now. Yet again feel free to comment and voice your opinions

Idk who this @TM_ Guy is, but he sounds like the one who says that "APD is Bias" "its all a friend Circle" "Ive Been a Po for X amount of days and everyone else gets promoted" 

Thats all i have gathered coming back to see this community within the last 10 mins or so. Im going to give you a real quick 1 to 1 about this bro. DO NOT try and be that guy, NO MATTER where you will be in life you just have to learn when to shut the fuck up and when to show your what it is worth. Negative behaviour or just in general not being what is up to the requirement aint gonna get you ANYWHERE. You could have a TIG of 400 OR a TIG of 30 if you are a great example of what a rank is they WILL promote you. I did not see that when i was here, I wasnt a good example, I was cocky twatty and all the rest hell, ask any Corps or majority of the SAPD and they will agree and have an opinion of me just alone. But i Will Mean this when i say it, that @Winters @ThatNerdyGuy @Rossco @Zeuse @thor All Know what:

1. Working for the rank is and deserving it.

2. Being passed over by others but still not giving up.

You probs dont know who i am, and i certainly dont know who you are. But if you seriously want to carry on this way, go for it idc doesn't effect me LuL. ik that you WILL NEVER get a position higher than PO if that is how you conduct yourself. Do you want to know why? Ask anyone who use to know me and you will understand why i can say this to you.

Word of advice, change how you think, PLAY THE GAME AND HAVE FUN

thats not my question. 

I want to know if Goat will allow us to do it again. Also I dont trust Sandman plus hes not the chief.

 

 

Back in 2017 we could straight up say im restraining you for my safety and your safety at this time. only if they were un armed. This way you dont have to shoot causing everyone to stop processing. It was stopped because Peter long didnt like it.

yes i understand thats the question. What im saying is its allowed at discretion. i was giving you some examples and many others cuz people like to try and bend the rule to a stupid extent. Goat has clearly added the rule for a reason allowing us to do that again. he has just re-worded certain aspects of the handbook

10 minutes ago, DeadPool said:

So back in 2017 you allowed us to restrain unarmed civs who enter the HQ. Peter came along and said no and pulled admin power to remove that. Can we still do that if we are processing and think they might interfere?

SO the main reason as to why this rule is now here is exactly that. 

Many time unarmed civs are being aids etc and you have to TASE them cuz of rules. However this rule was implemented. Previously before the coup with sandman i asked about it and he said

"as long as you have given them many warning/prior warning as well as they are infact unarmed/not a threat toward the officers life then you may restrain that player"

WHich basically means give them a few warning if they don't listen you tell them they will be restrained now and then you restrain them. Do note they have to not be a threat towards the officer/bearing a weapon

I hope this means slightly less texts fro APD saying "Leave this area or die" 

This rule is mainly for officers who think its okay to pull medics over when they are speeding on the msr responding to a call.

At the end of the day cops are going to msg medics to leave or die cuz you guys are hella ratty when it come to those revives. and will try to get any way to rev a person 

With the new Armed jeep. is it going to be able to follow the same rules like before. Followes armed plane engagment rules basically. and is it only for Any means or what cuz i wanna use that shit for more than ANy means tbh

The “guns hot” call must come from a Senior APD involved in the situation.

Im assuming this is allowed for situations where the senior is NOT in the Hawk yet if it is ovbs/they can go guns hot he can still call it right?

Ok spamming these doesnt make them any more funny.  Its only good like every 6 months. We understand we wanna roast decla. All you gotta do is ask him what makes a fed active.

it was a one time accidental thing oke 

If your on about the new coloured ifrits i would imagine they would look like the camo one but instead just a certain shade of that specific colour i.e red or blue. But besides that i don't think their is one on the forums as it literally looks like the colour said.
