Absolute huge plus one on this @ GST is truly one of the best sAPD members of all time. Probably would've never even sought out joining whitelisted factions and by affect probably would've never looked into joining development had it not been for the way he represented the APD at the time I played civ. That being said though if he puts you on a boat you should be very concered!

So this is an interesting take. Typically there is a point in these kind of threads where I feel like it is less constructive to continue discussion so I don't reply anymore but I would like to address this as I believe that it may have been ill-represented to you by me (or whoever else said it to you at the time). Since it was so long ago, I honestly have no recollection of what I did comment on the subject. I would like to get a few things straight though. I loved @ PolarBear . If he came back and expressed interest in the currently vacant supervisor slot, and I was for some reason asked for my vote, I would absolutely vote in favor of him coming back. PolarBear was one of the most fun and active Supervisors I had the oppurtunity of playing with in the R&R. When I failed with that flight test, I had a discussion with him that I disagreed with the verdict that I failed. His position was that he believed I was not quite ready yet. Honestly, valid arguments from both sides. Knowing more about the R&R that I do now and not being quite literally a new basic paramedic, I probably would've never even pursued to appeal it as at the end of the day as I did have the oppurtunity to retake it. Even though at the time I disagreed with his decision, I'd like to mention at zero point did I attempt to petition his removal. In fact during that appeal, I actually went out of my way to reiterate that multiple times how much of a great dude I thought he was. Funnily enough less then a week ago after all this time @ Marcus and I were talking about this exact situation as I made reference to it and he could not remember the details with so much time having passed. Marcus gave PolarBear nothing short of a stellar and glowing review reminiscing on his time as supervisor, and I agreed with his assesment. ... Never thought I would have a dirty laundry post haha but I did genuinley want to clear this up, because @ PolarBear is a great dude, and I would never petition for his removal. To date, he may have been one of the most fun and active supervisors the R&R has ever had. As much as I remember disagreeing and it feeling like a big deal, I do regret how I handled it, and how it much it blew up to be a bigger situation then it needed to be. PolarBear if you see this, I hope you are doing well

The amount of aggression and anger you've been bringing to me recently is pretty weird considering I don't even know you. If you'd actually seen anything that I post, especially recently, you'd recognize that I make my own opinion independently regardless of how popular (or unpopular) I anticipate it to be. It's common sense that the APD is allowed to ram vehicles obstructing access to the dome during federal reserve robberies. Blocking both entries and exits to the APD HQ during a federal reserve and expecting them not to get rammed is quite literally common sense. Don't want them to get rammed? Don't park them where vehicle are supposed to go in and out during an active federal reserve that APD members are forced to respond to haha.

Should that rule be better documented in the altis life rules to avoid future confusion? Yea. Were they at fault, or did they do anything wrong? Absolutely not:

I really like @ -Shawn- 's post. I have a lot of friends who are sAPD, so I do not want the following of what I say next to be taken as criticism regarding recent choices they may or may not have made. I would like to mention though as someone who held the rank of PO for a long time and only recieved my exemptions recently that @ King was a great APD member who spent a lot of time playing with lower ranks. King was a friendly face that made people joyfull to hop into a channel and play. Considering that the rule that he was being reprimanded for was also implied not written, along with his long time in grade and consistent activity, I would be a large supporter of him being given an exemption rank of Sergeant; the previous rank he was before his removal. Disciplinary actions like these set precidenets to justify future disciplinary action taken. King had 483 days of time in grade, and from the persepective of my eyes, was a near flawless member of the APD who always met his mininums. I think that he deserves better, and that those who will be reprimanded for similar infractions deserve to be treated with the same level of generousity and compassion. We all screw up, as I am sure one day I am going to too. Having lighter verdicts in cases like these would resolve a lot of fear people have of "screwing up". Not to say that people shouldn't be worried about breaking handbook rules, they just shouldn't have to fear for their ranks even when the infractions themselves are within low-severity or are small in relation to their time in grade. I have a lot of really good friends that are sAPD, and I would not have my rank of Staff Sergeant if it was not for their help. Those friends deserve their ranks and I have enjoyed playing under their leadership. However I also really like King as a friend, and as a Sergeant in the APD. Lastly I agree with @ Marcus . I encourage everyone to remember we are all friends here that enjoy playing the same game .
