Definitely supported. Bars and restaurants can have an actual in-game function and be profitable.

Same here. I'd like the management to create a Faction Council consisting of non-biased regular players to monitor group activities.

On Necessity of Counter-Terrorism
An Essay By Joseph Archon, Secretary of Diligence Party
Since the tragic events of September 11th, where a barbaric attack resulted in 2,977 innocent civilians dead, or even 18 years earlier, when MNF peacekeepers' barracks in Beirut were subject to a deadly terrorist attack by Islamic Jihad, Terrorism has always been a hot topic for politicians and civilians alike. Almost everyone has taken a stance against Terrorism, with varying methods to fight it. Some propose direct military invasion of alleged centers of terrorism, such as what President Geroge W. Bush did in his War on Terror; while some propose a defensive approach, where borders are firmly monitored and security is tightened. To date, no study has provided a definite, 100%-assured strategy to repeal this threat once and for all.
Terrorism begins its infancy in perception of inequality. What Al-Qaeda, Komala, Naxalites and Kach have common is that they believe they, or the people they presumably represent, are having their rights taken away. These perception of inequality is often false and out of ignorance and disinformation; terrorist organizations utilize extensive propaganda to recruit mostly ignorant youth to their cause. Their definition of their rights is absurd, and their disregard for basic human rights is clear and obvious.
So, one preventative measure is proper campaigns in spreading truth among the most recruited portions of population; they must know that their situation is not hopeless and there's always a way for representation of their interests in a democratic state, such as San Andreas. But ignorant youngsters are only a percentage of terrorists. What should be done about those who have joined these organizations for their own profit or joy?
The answer is active counter-terrorism. Since 2001, there has been a global campaign actively combating terrorism around the world. Led by the US, global forces have tried for decades to eradicate terrorism in various countries. Some claim their campaign has been a success, and some believe it's been a waste of resources and manpower. But what of San Andreas?
Our state is currently plagued by terrorism. To the north, Bone County and Tierra Robada are destabilized by the San Andreas branch of the Pakistani terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba. Las Payasadas, together with Verdant Meadow Aircraft Graveyard have become a headquarters for these merciless terrorists. Their front organizations openly operate throughout Los Santos and collect donations, which are used by LeT to attempt further terrorist acts within the state. San Andreas is made unsafe. So far, the government has taken little action regarding this major threat, however, it is not to be blamed. Mr. Timon recovered the government from the hands of an incompetent governor when the very heart of San Andreas, Los Santos, was on the verge of chaos. It is only understandable that he may not have had much time combating a physically distant issue while dealing with economic revival of city.
Now, let us not fall into the slippery slope of extremist measures. Terrorism can be countered with adequate actions, such as establishment of anti-terrorist task forces, regular patrols in northern areas of the state, educating civilians in matters related to combating and reporting terrorism to the authorities, and such. Hope we all be safe once again, and live in a state free of senseless violence.

I suggest the election committee to extend candidate application time for another day, so those who are a bit late can also set up their parties and apply.

Technically he is

Supporting this, but I think it shouldn't outright ban you if it detects something in your cleo folder. You never know what it considers to be a cheat and what a harmless mod (cruise control mods, for example, may be considered cheats by some anti-cheat softwares. Can't know for sure about this one)
-
I understand your problem, but Vendrell's solution works better than adding a server-sided dialogue. There are SAMP-specific keybinding softwares out there as well

Definitely supported

Sure, supported

I haven't ever seen a turf being held by an unofficial group. Furthermore, unofficial groups have every right to capture turfs as officials do, in fact you haven't provided any argument in favor of restricting the turf capture system.
-
I suggest a similar feature to CCTV reports on ATM so if someone shoots another person within a town/city it would be reported to cops. Harder to hide the body and easier for cops to uncover a murder.
-
Supporting all of the points

Players must be forced into an auto-/lay when their health is below 20 (can be changed) to ensure that no proper roleplay scenario is avoided. For example, in a robbery scenario, the target won't be able to get away from 3 people even if he takes out his gun and engage them. Note that players can still call their friends/911 for recovery or use their walkie-talkie. I also think those forced into this state should be able to get up after 3 minutes so they won't get stranded in Bayside forever.
Furthermore, I believe it adds another level of realism to server: if you have decent DM skills, you can be SAMP's John Wick and escape three armed men, but if you have normal skills, you're probably better off surrendering to them.
Also, dramatic last-shot-to-the-head scenes.
This suggestion is open to criticism and feedback. Please share yours below.

We should add more rp opportunities to the server like try adding different classes. Pilot class can drive hydra, hunter etc. A sniper class which should be invisible on map so we can avoid MG.
I don't think you understood what RP means...
Back on topic, could you explain the context of your example a bit more? @Matteo
-
It sounds good, definitely supported
-
Supported, but I think it's better not to make any more turfs than suggested here. It'll turn into a TDM server in no time if we keep adding turfs
-
Great topic, very well explained. There are lots of random criminal groups popping up all over the server, who barely have 4 members and nearly all of them are leaders. It'll be better if people who create their groups put some effort into the quality of it.

1. Add /vs (vehicle say), this will allow us to talk to the players in our vehicle only.
2. Allow us to buy puncture repair kits, To avoid getting the puncture repair kit abused add something like that the repairing process would take around 20 seconds and they can be bought at tool shops.
3- We should be allowed to put players in vehicle boots. When you put a player in a boot the boot will close automatically. If you open the boot the player will escape. If the vehicle is destroyed the player in the boot will die and there should be an approval message before we put someone inside a boot i.e /approve to avoid getting it abused.
5- Allowing players to sell ice creams and hotdogs from Whoopie and Hotdog vehicles. When you press the submission key as driver a checkpoint will appear beside the vehicle. Players can enter the checkpoint and buy food. Their health will increase and you'll get the money they paid for the food.
6- Disallow players from using /tutorial when they are suspected.
Supporting these, 3 provides a great new RP aspect to kidnappings, and 5 offers us a few more legal jobs.

I'd rather have this as an IC Governmental Decree titled something along the lines of transparency @TiMoN

Sure, as long as the 24-hour expiration is still in place.

Hello. The recent update has brought group turfs to the server, and it's a great development for various gangs and groups competing for supremacy. I'd just like to add one small suggestion: please move Market Movie Studio turf to the shopping center a few blocks south east of it. The reason is, it makes more sense for a shopping mall to boost your business income than a film studio. Also, on a personal level, we need the place as an HQ for a group, so there's this reason as well.
Some screenshots of the location are below:

Not supported:
1, 2, 3: since the server is light RP, I'd hate to be forced of my Reefer to go buy another fishing rod from a store 10 miles away
4: Definitely against, as already said, people are DMing each other for various reasons these days. This suggestion just adds another motivation for this behaviour.

Definitely, I'm even in favor of increasing the time to ten minutes per /su like Craze.
Group Council
in General
Posted
In-game name: Joseph_Archon
Registration date: Can't remember for sure, but around November 2018 I think
Most recent punishment, type and date: Kick, January 5th
Current group membership: The ORION Foundation
Previous group membership: Los Zetas, for a short time
Motive for joining the council: I consider myself able to improve the group gameplay in the server and ensure most players' satisfaction. I can use my own experience and others' in making the server a better roleplay environment. Of course if I find myself incapable of doing so for any reason, I would be certainly alright with stepping down and handing this position to any willing, competent candidate.
Three positive and negative attributes about yourself: I'm always open to new ideas as well as respectful criticisms. I usually try to hear everyone out and listen to their opinions and views on any on-going issue. I also try to be as polite as I can to create a friendlier atmosphere in the community. On the other hand, I can't be available all the time, which may impact the quality of work I can offer if it requires serious devotion and daily effort. Also, I can't stand and deal with trolls properly, and may momentarily lose my temper. Additionally, I can't work with people who aren't willing to provide anything to whatever project we're working on (the council, in this case.)
