I'll be more satisfied the next ban which will be a matter of time and on which I will reject your request for review for a minimum of a month. Until then you may play for the time you got left.

I did not concur with creation of a "paintball" event. It was insisted by Craze to host it. Masks are scripted - there is no reason to roleplay something that is scripted. You have masks purchasable in stores and if you want the mask then buy one and /mask.

Cops are not criminals. Cops do not kidnap people. Cops do not rob people. Cops do not initiate attacks. Criminals initiate attacks. Cops are government backed. Government is more powerful than the criminals. Especially in USA. Cops will always be overpowered.

I'll put this again. Read it carefully. Read it multiple times. Take your time to read it. Understand it. Translate it. Ask your teachers to explain it. SWAT has 200 armor. CSD has 100 armor. Off-duty SWAT can carry M4. They have 100 armor off-duty. Off-duty CSD can carry M4. They have 100 armor off-duty. CSD is not SWAT.

Not necessarily true that some turfs mostly in county areas will bring TDM environment, in fact, it is far better for people to release their need for shootout in these specified areas once every 24 hours than to release their need for shootout in every situation every hour and in every instance they have. Beside that, we implemented it due to major support in the suggestion board for it. I did not witness the situation nor know who is right or wrong but you submitted a complaint on the staff member and it'll be reviewed by the managers and Mikro himself. If it was truly an accident and unintended then I see no reason for punishments. This is wrong.

I guess we can control everything in the server merely by speaking to the right people. Carlo for example, we spoke to him yesterday, Leonardo, Jelly and myself, and he understood the issue and the long term consequences of it, and he agreed with the issues himself and said he will work on fixing it. We always worked individually with each group and fulfilled 90% of requests, from special maps, to features, to needs of a single group, and we communicate with the groups' owners, just because some immature people take spots in a group and lead it the wrong way doesn't mean the server is at fault and everyone is wrong. Carlo in case of Gambino recognized everything and will work with us. In the end, server interests are on top of groups' interests here, and if certain trends and actions will lead to bad consequences in long term, we will ask for a change from the group leaders, and if they wish not to work with us, then we will not work with them and will not provide them with any special non-mandatory bonuses, from maps, to statuses and to perks of the statuses.

Jelly first and foremost agrees with this topic and is participating in handling of the issues. And it was already said you can shoot those who do not comply in a robbery or a hostage situation. Sure shootouts can happen and should happen but they should not be the only thing happening 4 instances in a single hour in spree. In fact it is stupid to initiate shootouts and gang bangs with 30 people just because somebody got pulled over for speeding and does =HELP HELP HELP Nice kidnap, rammed the guy with sultans, carjacked him and /me knocks. SWAT has 200 armour and it'll have 300 armour if there'll continuously be 30 people grouping up to only fight cops. Fear RP was not a rule and still is not a rule, there are vague rules such as anti-RP and poor RP which are subjectively enforced by each staff member based on their interpretation of the situation and the situation's circumstances, there is no direct rule for anyone to RP fear and hence it was said by me earlier in topic we will discuss adding a rule directly specifying fear RP.

/mask exists - clothing objects including /clothing masks are aesthetic

We had in the beginning of Mudoo a system where people were not auto suspected at murder but were suspected after /inspect was done on a body. What are thoughts of this being brought back?

Indeed I am more for punishing those who are unable to play than punishing everyone for those individuals.

I did speak with Leonardo and it is in the server's interest to have group rivalry as it is a necessary factor to maintain competition and motivation for groups to strive to be better and bigger than the other. It is what pushes people to work harder and to do better. We will look into enforcing and implementing some mandatory fear roleplay - compliance when outnumbered / outpowered. And we do not ask for detailed, hardcore roleplay, we ask for minimal amount of roleplay and prioritizing roleplay instead of mere shootouts.

First point no cop is allowed to carry M4 unless it is a member of SWAT or CSD. Secondly, no cop at all is allowed to carry a sniper rifle unless it is on-duty SWAT or on-duty CSD. Second point, any cop abusing search and seizure, you can report them with chat logs of the interaction on the forum, and you'll be refunded what was taken if it is found to be an invalid initiation of search and seizure. Third point, if weapons will be limited, cops will still always have them, but civilians won't, they'll have to be illegally crafted in warehouses as the only source of their weapons. I doubt you want that, do you? Fourth point, WW1 and ottoman era is irrelevant here. Fifth point, and? Sixth point, it is in interest of the server's well being to have rivalries between groups in order to maintain interest, competition and striving to be better between groups, which are the necessary motivating factors for groups and its members. Without it, eventually, sooner or later, it will become boring, people will have nothing to do but fight cops, and they will leave.

Firstly, SWAT hasn't been deployed in a proper manner for over a week now, if they were deployed, it was at maximum 2 persons deploying. So the whole cops are overpowered scheme is pointless to debate and bring in this topic. And furthermore, cops will always be kept overpowered because this is not a TDM server, it is a roleplay server, and cops will have upper hand. Sometimes they will lose, sometimes they will win, but they will always have more resources and support than criminal organizations. Next point, criminal organizations are supposed to perform criminal activities behind cops' eyes, not bait cops to chase them just for the shootouts. It's a game, but it's still a roleplay server., would you go smoke weed in public or near a police station, or kill somebody mid street in real life? no you wouldn't. It is on criminal groups to roleplay with other criminal groups and compete for dominance, supremacy, richness and reputation. Not for all criminal groups to unite and only work on publicly and openly committing crimes to have shootouts with cops. Also, the server has not been like this from the beginning. Shootouts did occur, but not in massive scale as they do recent days, and not as frequently as in spree in a single hour. There has not been a proper hostage situation or a bank robbery or any criminal roleplay for a long while now, because everyone is occupied performing shootouts. Robbing - if somebody doesn't comply, it is fine to kill them, but if they do comply, it is irrational to kill them. And lastly, the fun is to compete and outplay the rival criminal organization, that's the fun in it, competition, seeking for dominance, supremacy and reputation. It's called roleplay. Not everything is based on winning and losing, and the determinant factor being a shootout.

Shootouts are acceptable and are part of the game. The manner and frequency of them is what needs to be minimized and regulated. A traffic stop does not need to turn into a shootout. A fine does not need to turn into a shootout. There are small things like that, which do not have to result in a shootout. If you rob somebody, you do not have to kill them. Most robberies in real life on the street don't end up being a murder. They snatch a purse or the phone and run off. You can also roleplay a hostage situation without killing the hostage or getting police involved. You can use a hostage who is a member of a rival mafia to get money from them or something alike. Not all hostage situations have to be cop involved. Furthermore, group rivalries are mandatory in a game like this and in a roleplay server. We cannot have the whole server allied because it will be boring for everybody. And just using cops as the rival party is not acceptable. Rivalries are required to maintain competition in the server, which is a motivation factor.

The server lately turned into a pure TDM server between all groups that allied and cops. Every situation, even a traffic stop, leads to a pursuit and a shootout. Every opportunity is used to be a shootout. And the shootouts repeat as soon as people die and respawn. They rearm and repeat the cycle. This is not acceptable. This is not roleplay. And this is going to end. Today. Any pity reason to ignite a shootout, such as a mere traffic stop, will be invalid and considered DM. Any failure to roleplay will be punished. Official groups are to be role models to the server and be examples of appropriate behavior, roleplay and effort. Not a group for a settlement of anti-roleplay individuals who ignite deathmatch and shootouts with any opportunity they get. This is an example of a shootout hungry person. 28-12-2018 15:54:30 - ************: /pm 16 lewis tell peter and others to start planting weed field so csd can come This is an example of a shootout hungry person. 28-12-2018 15:44:49 - [BLA] **********: go for c4's 28-12-2018 15:44:54 - [BLA] ********** : and go for atm's afterwards 28-12-2018 15:45:04 - [BLA] ********** : every cop will come for us This is an example of a shootout hungry person. These examples are everything that is wrong in this server. The people whose interests are personal entertainment in form of shootouts. Players who should transform themselves into players of our TDM server. HostName: >> Call of Duty: Global Warfare II << Address: tdm.mudoogaming.com:7777 Mode: COD:GW II V1.0.15 (TDM/DM/WAR) This is our TDM server. Join it. Play it for shootouts. I insist on prioritization of roleplay, while we do not ask for hardcore realistic roleplay, we do ask for bare minimum of roleplay. And that means avoiding shootouts when possible to do so, and not using any small situation for a reason to have a shootout. And this is what we will also insist from official groups to enforce. To be an example to everyone and teach its members and others to prioritize roleplay.

If your hands were not tied and you called cops through /call then there was no reason to ban you .. unless they held your hands or had you restrained by other means

This is not a debate over making lenient punishments. Your punishment history is clear, extensive and based on DM and bad RP. Do you understand what roleplay is and what's acceptable and what not?

If you are tied up (your hands are tied) you cannot call anybody because you are physically restrained from doing so. You cannot use /pm or /gm or /p to call backup in any situation. Backup can only be called through /wt or phone when you are able to (when you are not tied, cuffed, ...)

So by what logic you thought advertising another server / inviting players to other servers was allowed?

Okay you have tendencies to break rules caused by your lack of experience in roleplay, read the rules and ask questions before doing something wrong. Unbanned.

I reviewed the logs and it is clear that PM was used for a roleplay matter (calling Mario there and discussing when to shoot) Both sides at scene were hostile to each other and a shootout was clearly inevitable considering Craze himself withdrew a gun and started ticking time Deathmatch is when somebody is shot without a reason, it is questionable if this was deathmatch, it was more so poor roleplay and use of non RP channels So, continue to handle this based on what's clear - and that is that Mario followed an improper request to come through PM which is not allowed, and that he himself used it to give instructions to them.

Solved through discord, unbanned.

You are NOT allowed to use PM for roleplay purposes, not to sell drugs, not to call for backup. Do you understand this? You have an extensive punishment history, mostly for DM and poor RP, what guarantees a change here?

Removed all of the drugs and its ingredients from your inventory. Do NOT repeat this again. Your behavior and actions are unacceptable and this is a warning to not repeat it. Next time, more severe punishment will follow. Unbanned.

You continuously used PM for RP purposes - asking people to buy drugs from you, as one example. That is NOT allowed, DO you understand this?
