Yeah, idk why you're comparing the gun from a game to real life, that's why he said "the game is so shit". The game is buggy as fuck and things don't always work the way you'd expect them to. I've definitely had to shoot people more than once with a MAR-10 to kill/tase them, because this is a shit game.
Tier 3s, tried it, denied every time.
Promet too OP, was removed for a reason.
Shotgun isn't a buff lets be honest, it's just a gun to meme around with.
Tier 2s for deputies, again tried it and denied.
Prowler for POs, pretty sure we brought that up a long time ago, can't remember what happened with it though.
Hellcat for corps, Corporals don't really need a buff right now IMO, and also the hellcat is pretty useless.
There's a money buff coming to JrAPD which should hopefully encourage some people to re-apply but honestly don't think it's about the money so don't think it will do too much. Would love to get more buffs for JrAPD but it's difficult to come up with something that's not too Overpowered and then to get it past Civ council and staff.
There is no minimum/maximum value because it is left at the discretion of the negotiator/highest ranking officer at the situation. As long as they are making a real attempt to negotiate then there is no problem.
Also, "unless a Hostage's life is worth more then the run." is you saying they should not respond.
The reason the handbook does not explicitly state what can be negotiated is to allow more roleplay between the negotiators, it only states what cannot be negotiated for.
Also, do you not think demanding the APD not respond to a Pharma/Bank etc. is unreasonable, especially when uncontested it is pretty much a money printer?
