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?

in 300 words elaborate what roleplay is and WHY it is not okay to use PM for roleplay purposes

what about us being a parody?

Not one person, not one, but multiple persons you have encouraged to play another server which you specified by name and you did it not only on discord, but also in-game.

Some more removed, complete list is currently: Edmund Carson x2 Rio Arslan Brunyman Andrew Gambino x3 Dr Brain Macon Ravenwood Daim R. x2 Blake Andolini Marco Salamanca Wetson Lockhead James Hudson Jamal R. x2 RaptrJ Manoni Hagen x2 Lorenzo Gavaria [PC]GreyWilson Raul Gonzales

Current list of people whose business was removed: Edmund Carson x2 Rio Arslan Brunyman Andrew Gambino x3 Dr Brain Macon Ravenwood Daim R. 2x Blake Andolini Marco Salamanca Wetson Lockhead James Hudson Jamal R.

Some businesses in Los Santos were removed as there were way too many businesses in same area with the same type. Some areas had up to 6 24/7 stores in the range, and obviously it's also not good for profits since there's way too many businesses opposed to the number of players. You may ask for a refund if you were one of the people whose business was removed. Message me on forum or discord.

unbanned

why do you appeal a ban two months later?

Indeed you were not in an animation to all of us and we were shooting you, slapped to check for desync and checked ping and packetloss, I reviewed the logs and see that you did use an animation so the ban will be lifted.

AAAYO ma dude Menace back with anotha' menace huh!? shi' yo' ass didn' learn nothin' last time, this time you ain't gettin' back so quick, review date of this shi' set to December 15

Turfs were implemented in the recent updated to the server. There are a lot of questions coming up and this topic will serve to clarify any doubts. The suggestion upon which the turfs were implemented is this: The script: You need at minimum 5 members of your group to initiate a capture. (temporarily 3 for testing of the system itself) You need to be group rank level 98 or higher to do /capture. You need to remain in the turf area (marked on minimap and map) for 10 minutes without leaving or dying in order to succeed at capture. The turf color is determined by /groupcolor. The rewards: They will be scripted in at shortly once the capturing system itself proves working. They are as described in the suggestion quoted above. Post any questions below.
