    "costs them nothing" if they dont get access to the shed they paid for, for the entire restart if someone were to do it at server start (which happens often). The pettiest will never let a shed be standing as long as they are online. Its a net-negative to not have access to your shed. 

    Im starting to love shawn no homo. But yeah. 

    Blow up my shed when im motivated to make money for 1 restart. Youre fucking me over literally like 26million AND the other millions I may spend repairing the shed. ITS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

    Houses cannot have ownership verified and blowing it up costs the owner nothing.  Same for gang shed.  Someone's paying to delay their use of it and it comes back free of charge at reset.

    Like shawn says, YOU take the risk of getting RDMed by anyone pretty much blowing up a shed or house. If you dont wanna get RDMed, clear the area first, or idk dont blow it up/be more careful. Also, there IS A COST to blowing up player houses, it renders it useless for a whole restart, no spawn, inventory, etc. A person can miss out on MILLIONS you blowing up their house. Talking about a shed, its 1mill and again, you miss out on millions on top of that 1mill original investment. this rule change is how it should have always been, no doubt in my mind.

  15. The State of Federal Events, As Seen From a Jr. APD Member

    Hello, My name is Thompp. I am a Jr. APD Patrol Officer. I am currently writing this in school, in the middle of my classes. You may have already heard of me from the APD forums because of me complaining about the state of Federal Events and how it’s unfair towards the APD. However, after input from so many sides, including Sr. APD, other Jr. APD, and CIVs participating in the federal events, I decided to take a fresh look at the state of federal events, and that started with data collection. I took a month to pile up every federal event that I personally have participated in, and after looking at it all, as well as playing the federal events myself, I have come up with several conclusions and suggestions.

    Before I begin, here are some disclaimers that I want everyone to know:
    1. This is not meant to be a forum post about blaming people or factions. This is only a review of the state of Federal Events as seen by a Jr. APD member, and my input about what we can do to make it better for everybody.
    2. Being as it is a somewhat biased collection of data (with only my participation being the reason for the data being in the spreadsheet), this is obviously not what it might look like to other people.
    3. After arguing in the APD forums, I realize that we have many different opinions about federal events, as well as different experiences. So this is not meant to put down other people’s opinions, but rather give my own opinion and insight.
    4. I have reflected and see that federal events are not only unfair for Jr. APD, but also for CIVs going against Sr. APD.
    5. Special thanks to @ xsmitherz for his help in formatting the spreadsheet, and @ SPBojo for his insight into what the Civilian side looks like when fighting federal events, as well as many others for their strongly-written opinions.
    6. Remember that we are all humans behind the screen. I genuinely want to see federal events changed to be more fair for both the APD and the CIVs participating in it. I want us to all have fun with federal events. It shouldn’t be a punishment to fight these federal events, but rather something we want to look forward to.
    7. This might look like I'm yapping to most of you guys, but this is truly what I feel and what most Jr. APD feels about federal events.
    8. In the end, this is all a game. If the game is frustrating, it’s completely okay to take a step back and relax.
    9. Here's the spreadsheet for everyone to view 🙂https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b4mRgCor2VFw1QxEcVcvOyCe1W3PhPabq6VmRTlnt6w/edit?resourcekey#gid=1645404173

    —---------------------------------------------------—---------------------------------------------------—--------------------------------------------------------------—---------------------------------------------------—----------------
     

    When I was a deputy about 5 months ago, I had my first federal event and genuinely enjoyed it. Not only was it fair on both sides with nearly equal numbers of people, but also it wasn’t too cancerous for either side fighting and it wasn’t some deadbrain wave and die, wave and die type event. Recently however, I’ve noticed that this attitude towards federal events had changed. Not only for me, but for many other Jr. APD and Civs. Now, it wasn’t fun, but rather egregious and annoying to play. When Jr. APD watched as the popup for federal events showed, instead of being ecstatic, they would rather log off or groan. It was like watching a bunch of children after telling them “It’s bedtime”. For Civilians, I am sure this is the same feeling when Sr. APD begins mass-armor waves. 

    Curiously, I wondered why such a change had occurred. Why were Jr. APD being punished for just playing the game? We don’t log in just to be tortured. We want to have fun. That is why I began talking to different sides and also collecting data, and looking at the APD handbook and server rules. I came to the conclusion that it was due to both sides overreacting, and seeking “revenge” upon each other, and Jr. APD being caught in the crossfire. Sr. APD began mass-pulling armor waves, Civs started running in large groups, which in turn made even more armor waves, which in turn forced Civs to use RPGs and Zafirs and other weaponry. Now, Civs are at the limit of how much they can keep pulling, whilst Sr. APD can still continue to use more weaponry. (As seen in recent blackwater events, where APD has started winning more than before). This ramp up in the level of weapons used has caused a disruption in the balance of power, and Jr. APD was forced to just sit there and endure the everlasting torture. 

    So what exactly can we do, both as APD and as Civs, to ensure that the federal events we fight are fair, fun, and doesn’t leave anyone wanting to die in the end? As it stands, the only group that is unable to scale up to these increased levels of cancer are Jr. APD. This leaves many Jr. APD wondering what they are useful for in federal events, besides running in to die, baiting for Sr. APD, and trying to defuse the bomb. Of course, there are moments where Jr. APD shines, however these moments are few to none. I propose we add some rank in between Patrol Officer and Corporal, where they are able to use lethals in federal events, and ONLY federal events, and of course with very strict requirements. The only people who could obtain this rank are those with 100+ hours in APD, 20+ days Time in Grade, and are trusted within the APD community. 

    For Sr. APD, I propose we add some rule changes that restricts how much armor is allowed per wave, depending on the amount of civs participating in these events. For example, 2 armored vehicles per every 4 civs. (ex. 8 armored vehicles when fighting 16 civs). Not only will this limit how much money Sr. APD will be forced to lose (as I know that Sr. APD doesn’t like pulling armor for this reason), but also it will decrease the amount of weapons used by Civs and reduce the amount of cancer occurring in the federal events at this moment, which in turn will reduce the cross-fire that Jr. APD has to deal with. I also propose we add rules regulating waves, and only having certain things after a certain amount of waves. (Ex. After the 3rd wave, armor can be pulled. After the 5th, lethals can be loaded for Jr APD.)

    For proportionality, I propose we add new rules that regulate how many Civs / APD can participate in the federal events, depending on Civs / APD size. For example, we could have 1.5 APD per every 1 Civ. This could lead to the problem of Sr. APD forcing Jr. APD to leave so that they can replace them, but this could be fixed by enforcing a minimum amount of Jr. APD that must be in the federal event.

    All in all, I believe that federal events should be fun to fight. It shouldn’t be some torture-fest or some punishment for Jr. APD. I genuinely enjoy playing APD and I want that feeling to be the same for everyone else, especially after federal events. There’s no point in playing a game that will just make you frustrated, after all. With Rexo in charge of the APD now, I believe that we can work together to make changes that benefit us all, and allow federal events to enter a new stage of strategy and excitement. 

    TLDR: Federal events are cancerous for everyone, please come together to fix it.
     

    THE REAL TLDR;
     

    The author reflects on recent changes in the dynamics of federal events within a gaming community, particularly observing the plight of Junior APD members who seem to suffer disproportionately. They note an escalation in weaponry and tactics from both sides, resulting in a chaotic and imbalanced experience, especially for Junior APD members. To address this, they propose several solutions:

    1. Introducing a new rank between Patrol Officer and Corporal for Junior APD members, allowing them to use lethals exclusively in federal events, provided they meet strict requirements.
    2. Implementing restrictions on the number of armored vehicles allowed per wave for Senior APD, based on the number of participating civilians, to curb excessive force and reduce the chaos.
    3. Introducing regulations on the timing and escalation of weaponry throughout federal events, ensuring a more controlled progression.
    4. Implementing proportional participation rules to balance the number of civilians and APD members involved in events, preventing overwhelming force from either side.

    The author emphasizes the need for federal events to be enjoyable and fair for all participants, expressing optimism about potential improvements under new leadership within the community.

    If you are removing the age for rnr surely you can remove the flight test ! Some of us......well just me probably can't fly !!!

    Just give the medics the rank, but no access to helis if they cant fly. If they can fly, do the test and let them. Simple. Go practice in editor

    Theres no way on earth almost 2+ weeks later youre still on this. There is no way you expect them to swap a ghosthawk from garage to garage. That is a 30million dollar item. And there was probably absolutely no shot you guys wouldve chopped it/claimed, without getting wiped by a diff group. Because ghawks get followed 24.7.
