Snare 2701 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I mean to me the big thing with the whole change is you can't just rob a civ if you taze them. Why should you be able to do it to cops? Not to mention civ's have a lot more power then cops (except SAPD)... if you don't agree with that I can make a short video to prove it would take me like 5 minutes. Typically something can only be counted as a "good idea" if it is actually accepted as a good idea. If A LOT of people are acting like its a "bad idea" I think there needs to be the maturity level in this community to recognize that and think of how it could be modified or removed. Granted when I say maturity in the community I mean on both sides MAYBE we could try some different things for instance the reduced damage that's been added maybe we should give that some time see how it pans out. But I think acting like it's not an issue is ignoring a problem. Oh and by the way i'm pretty much neutral in the argument itself but when I see a lot of people disagreeing with something and particularly people that should have a good idea of what is good for the community particularly the cop faction (Goat who is chief, SAPD, Bubbaloo an X long time admin, and a lot of other mods/admins.) I don't think that just because the people who have the power to introduce these things yet don't really know the ramifications should be ignoring them when they show up granted we did get the debuff which I think is a great first step and could be a possible solution. 2 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/13692-on-the-topic-of-tazing-apd/?page=2#findComment-159247

Why must civs taze a cop and not out number him with lethal guns but tazers. Btw excessive tazing for a vigil is vigis abuse.

Also, if a cop gets engaged, its a fire fight , and the best side wins, but in the logic of those who disagree with the tazing, I should just stop playing civ since I lose fire fights due to my lack of skill.. If anything, the tazing of cops is sort of eliminating all of the "trash" cops who lose fire fights, rage, and then leave cop. Which in turn leaves the better and more skilled cops to oppose those who engage and attempt to taze cops. 4 Rebels with 5.56, better gear, and a better team > 4 POs with 6.5, tac vests, and have very little experience fighting with each other. Let's put this comparison into perspective: (I mean no disrespect to anyone here) Spoiler BFO (APD) vs MC (Rebels) Both gangs have 5 players. Now BFO is geared with a tac vest, 3 with 7.62 weapons (Compare this to three POs) and 2 with 5.56 weapons (compare this to two deputies), and winnie the pooh shirts. MC is geared with plate carriers and NATO ghillies, and all have 6.5 weapons. BFO has less chemistry (as they haven't been fighting together as long and aren't as familiar with each other) MC has the better chemistry (as they have great experience fighting together and know each others strengths and weaknesses well) Who is likely going to win? (Most likely MC, but it would be possible for BFO to win since they have a few extra weapons) Now let's make this closer to how it is for APD vs Civs. MC get to defend. They don't have to worry about pushing, and fortify their area. BFO has to attack. They have to come up with a strategy to attack. To win on the first attack. Now this makes it further in the advantage of MC. BFO will most likely lose. (This is how it is for APD now, they have to win within the first couple of attacks or they risk having all units restrained) How it used to be (for the APD): Let's say BFO had additional backup. They could send a couple guys after the prior wave died, every time. Good chance that BFO might actually win. To get to the point: The APD cannot possibly rely on one firefight to end a situation every time. The reason most cops are leaving not that they are "Trash", but rather that it can be next to impossible to win situations with these standards. Another point to bring up is that it isn't the money hungry cops that are leaving. It's the RP dedicated officers and those who enjoy cop for what it is. Want examples?

DeadPool 4376 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 When was the time anyone saw something that affected the APD that was not discussed with the current chief? If you want to keep vigis with 5.56 tazers or even APD gear with a GA to the Specail GA carrier Rig the Tier V vest. Why not add corporals with 7.62s and tier 3-4 vest to counter the tazing but oh wait, the Dev team already shot down the idea of giving corporals 7.62 or better vest.

If a child throws a temper tantrum you don't just give them what they want, that'll just teach them to throw more temper tantrums. The reason people said you're on a high horse is because you refer to everyone as children. This is a COMMUNITY, not a day care center. We're not children, but rather a significant portion of a community, which is supported by donations. While donations don't mean you get to pick and choose what you want, its common sense that if the leadership does things that the community doesn't like, donations will drop. In the end, money talks. Some of us have been around for way longer than November 2016. Some of us have been with this server for 2 and a half years. We have every right to be frustrated when a server, that we've spent so much time on, all of a sudden has such a radical change that appeases many of those that just hop between servers, depending on how the wind blows. I have not been robbed on cop for over 2 years, because I play smart. I'm never in an area by myself, and the few times I have been outnumbered or tazed, I usually have back up that is several seconds away that comes in to save the day. The fact that I got robbed twice in 20 minutes just a few days ago is very telling. I pull out of Pyrgos HQ with another officer, instantly get engaged by campers, and I LITERALLY have no place to go because the roadway has walls on both sides and no cover. Get tazed, restrained, and robbed. A few minutes later, I go into Pyrgos to help out 4 other officers. Lo and behold, 11 god damn people of multiple gangs just running around and robbing cops. Best part is, they don't get charges unless APD outright adds the charge, because tazing someone doesn't add anything. 4 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/13692-on-the-topic-of-tazing-apd/?page=2#findComment-159288

Well thanks for sharing your personal note so now you agree with us it is wrong why continue to bicker over something that should have involved the APDs decision? I am 17 and been with this server for almost a year now a few days to be exact. Look at my forum name see that color it means I have put time, money, and effort to get where I am today in this community. I may not be the head of something that cost us our TS tags and something new. But I am apart of the APD and from what the handbook states as a Corporal in the APD I am a fully fledged APD member. With what that means is that I have put some serious dedicated time into the APD. I use to sit on the side lines and watch people argue over this stuff as a PO and deputy, but now that I am no longer gonna stay quite. I'm gonna speak my mind to the full extent. You have been here since November 2016 I have been here since march 2016. If you haven't noticed the APD has always been able to approve what comes and goes when it affects the APD. But not like this unforgettable trama that has hit us. We no longer get a say nor does the chief get to decide what happens to the APD. Is this the so called "New Dynamic System" that is taken over ? 23 minutes ago, Lucki said: The reason people said you're on a high horse is because you refer to everyone as children. This is a COMMUNITY, not a day care center. We're not children, but rather a significant portion of a community, which is supported by donations. While donations don't mean you get to pick and choose what you want, its common sense that if the leadership does things that the community doesn't like, donations will drop. In the end, money talks. Some of us have been around for way longer than November 2016. Some of us have been with this server for 2 and a half years. We have every right to be frustrated when a server, that we've spent so much time on, all of a sudden has such a radical change that appeases many of those that just hop between servers, depending on how the wind blows. I have not been robbed on cop for over 2 years, because I play smart. I'm never in an area by myself, and the few times I have been outnumbered or tazed, I usually have back up that is several seconds away that comes in to save the day. The fact that I got robbed twice in 20 minutes just a few days ago is very telling. I pull out of Pyrgos HQ with another officer, instantly get engaged by campers, and I LITERALLY have no place to go because the roadway has walls on both sides and no cover. Get tazed, restrained, and robbed. A few minutes later, I go into Pyrgos to help out 4 other officers. Lo and behold, 11 god damn people of multiple gangs just running around and robbing cops. Best part is, they don't get charges unless APD outright adds the charge, because tazing someone doesn't add anything. Preach brother Lucki preach. Show this man the truth and light of the APD. Make him repent against his sinful nature and ways. Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/13692-on-the-topic-of-tazing-apd/?page=2#findComment-159296

I think it was a smart move by goat to pull those stats. I don't think he expanded on them properly,but it was an intelligent decision. I think the people who have voiced their opinion saying that vigis shouldn't have access to 5.56 are acting intelligently. The people who say "get off your high horse", "fuck off", whose posts consist of saying how much they don't like getting robbed, or attempt to attack myself instead of my position, those people are children. If this isn't a day care, those people should stop acting like it is then. Come after my position on something all you want. I encourage it, in fact, since I know I'm not infallible. Find holes in my argument any time, I want people to. It sucks being wrong, but crazy levels of respect to anyone who does. But don't expect me to take someone seriously when they come at me with an ad hominem or some emotional response, because then I'll call them out for being the child they are. 24 minutes ago, DeadPool1337 said: You just admitted to your self that this tazing and restraining cops is wrong on your personal note. Well thanks for sharing your personal note so now you agree with us it is wrong why continue to bicker over something that should have involved the APDs decision? I didn't even bother to read on once I was you know it's wrong on a personal note. Preach brother Lucki preach. Show this man the truth and light of the APD. Make him repent against his sinful nature and ways. No. If you read what I disagreed with was in regards to the news team. Specifically, the fact we can't be killed by being shot. @Lucki, see this is what I mean. Do you honestly expect me to take this seriously? Admittedly though Lucki, I think our ways to handle people are somewhat based on our respective professions. You, without a doubt, have more patience for people (which makes sense given your career choice). 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/13692-on-the-topic-of-tazing-apd/?page=2#findComment-159303

Just because you model something off of another idea doesn't mean you're trying to become them. On the Dev side, this means having cleaner/more organized/better coding. On a game play side, this doesn't mean Olympus is trying to become Asylum. Just meant the Devs recognized a good idea when they saw one. P.S @G.O.A.T. If a child throws a temper tantrum you don't just give them what they want, that'll just teach them to throw more temper tantrums. Listen, your argument is that cops should have better tactics, not zerg rush, etc. How do you expect cops to be able to get their officers back when the majority of the time, if 2 cops gets tased that is literally 20%+ of the force available GONE. It's a snowball effect. I've said for awhile, it makes complete sense that cops should be tased. But not that they should be able to be restrained by some random with a rook+. The majority of the staff AND community recognize this is a bad change for Olympus. I think the statistics were provided in the best way possible. 42%. P.S. @TheRandomOne throw another jab, I'll hit you with the left hook fam. Don't think for a second that this Chief tag makes me immune from laying down wood.
