Civ role is best Hooliganry is the ultimate catharsis in this game. However...
A warning to new players, the apd, and rnr
Although the whitelisted factions tend to forget this; their role is to enhance the civ playing experiance, and to lend the world balance and authenticity. All too often i sadly see biased medics [medics that choose to only assist one side and deny the other mid fight] and cops hellbent on a personal paycheck, and abusing their power, instead of lending credibility and realism to the world of olympus. Although most of my gangs best experiances have come from fighting off an abusive cop chase, I cant count the number of times one of my gang mates have been chassed to the far corners of the map in either an empty helicopter or empty truck -- even if you are doing legal runs (dont do them) all the hard work you put into that load of oil or iron (appx 700k which is huge to a new player) can vaporize because you had 60k in bounties, happened to have a bootleg car 95 macinegun (car 95 rifle with drum mags to save money) and the cop was extremely bored. Even though i have been far to rich to stoop this low for well over 8 months; it is still a problem that helps contribute to the inability of olympus to hold onto new members. The new members come, but they do not stay.
I am not salty about this, and am trying to remain impartial and unbiased, good cops that actually roleplay are out there, and medics that actually wait for a fight to resolve before they pick up are out there. But a sizable portion of both the apd and rnr are in it for the power trip.
