Bubbaloo - Reusable P Cup

So...true story.. I hopped into another server who shall remain nameless... I did this because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. All the hype of that other place is because of the lack of enforcing the rules. RDM is crazy. The feeling of the community in place just feels disgusting. Players are ***holes. It's a whole different environment. No matter the features they might have, I would never enjoy that server full of idiots over Olympus. I think that the admins will make changes as they see fit. I know for a fact they are not going to let the server die. They may not cater to all our request but they know it is in their best interest to make this work again. I used to get mad before that I could not get in on any of the two servers because of the over population. Now I get mad I have almost no one to play with, other than my fellow cops who always find the time to play ( thank you thank you ). I agree that it may be getting a little too difficult for new players to get on. An example: the other night I was patrolling with a deputy. This Civ was going a little too fast and no headlights with a gasoline truck. We pulled him over and talked to him. He was by himself and when he talked he sounded so depressed. A little bit later we ran into him going into a legal area, we stopped again and thanked him for having a legal job. The fact of the matter is, he did not sound happy at all, or excited. He was definitely not having any fun. Maybe because he knew that doing that run was only going to get him a certain amount of money and not enough. Most of the people I have pulled over have been nice upstanding people and even though they have had charges on them I have felt kind of bad when taking their hard earn equipment because I get a feeling they are not coming back. There are some of us hardcore role players that might enjoy the economy as it is. The fact of the matter is the majority of players don't. And like someone mentioned before, we hardcore role players need those casual players to survive. Like Jorbis mentioned, please re-think what made this server work two months ago. Because honestly? I started playing here after the wipe and there were a lot of people, so I don't know what happened. If it is confirmed that the economy was what slowly turned people away then it should be dealt with in a timely manner. The rules? those are fine. This is what sets Olympus apart from other servers. The admins are always on top of that and I think that this is what should be really enforced, and loosen down the realism of the economy. After all ladies and gentlemen, it is but only a game and we are all here to have fun and not feel like we are back on our desks working our 9-6 job. No offence to the incredible staff at Olympus I am just stating what I have seen and/or heard. Anyone else is more than welcome to comment on this as I am not leaving Olympus any time soon. I want to see it flourish, see it full and most of all get madly pissed off because the servers are so full I can't get in. This is what we all want. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, it's good it ain't categorized as gaming because if not the all mighty "FORTI GUARD WEB FILTERING" would take it down too.

Hahaha. Nice man.

Yeah. I figured, the website works fine thought. It's just that this "Fortiguard web filter" blocks "Internet telephony" connections. That's how they call it. I just wanted to connect once in a while before getting home. But thanks Hades! Yes, precisely it. Oh well.

So... I installed the client... did not successfully connect to Olympus.... FAIL!

Thanks!

Thanks man. I had already seen that but could not see the images because of the "web filter violation" setting at work.

I've looked around but have yet to find anything.

Ah! I got confused. FluffyTeddy it was you who I played with last night right?

I agree 100%. I want to thank the staff and the rest of the community for making me call Olympus home. I have never met such unique individuals anywhere else. So thanks again to everyone who pitches in every day to make this a very very different place. Hope to see you all soon!

Agreed.

Sigh. Honestly? Olympus is not going down because some gang left. Why don't we just drop the subject already. Does it matter if they left? Other, better gangs will come. If they left in the first place, means we didn't needed them.

Hear hear!

Let's do it! I want to see a lot of people tonight... A....P.....D.....Hands up!!!!!!!!

Hey Tman. This is the reason I suggested that they needed to make things interesting, not just ask us on a random death match. So we are on point here.

I'll go with you.

We don't want the gangs to leave the server. Keep things interesting. How about mixing it up a little bit? Instead of just sending text messages to invite APD to a death match, why not role play it more, hostage situations among other things, yeah?

Exactly. It is difficult to pass by and just ignore the GIF. It's just mesmerizing.... now, what was the original topic about? lol

True, I'm guessing it's just part of the game. I think gangs keep the server alive. Maybe they can tone it down a bit but I like the gangs who stir things up a bit from time to time.

Maybe it gives them a feeling of superiority? Hahahaha

Shut up Peter! I do.... that's the problem! haha greatness in its purest form...

@Pringle.... It is difficult to go through this forums while at work... The beautiful woman that is gently removing her dress is not working for when my boss passes by and sees my monitor..... . Lol just throwing it out there. I think I should just skip being on the forums at work... hahaha.... I'll just fastly skip Pringle's comments.. lol?

Makes sense. I have heard many a people talk smack to each other and being serious about it while doing RP. Men to men. I mean... I do not favor sexual harassment or racist things of that sort but I think we should thread lightly on this subject as putting up an extremely strict rule that would be up to interpretation by the admins and/or APD's will more than likely drive many people away, even the ones not involved in the particular toxic actions themselves. Just my 2 cents.
