During the month of December, we will be keeping an eye on numerous statistics on both individuals and organisations and will be giving away in-game rewards and properties for those who top the list.

We will be looking at store robs, bank safes cracked, vips, arrests and more! See https://stats.saesrpg.uk/ for more ideas of what we might be tracking...

We will also be doing another raffle, this time for Blueberry Bank.

There is no minimum requirements to take part this time, you will get an entry for every second (literally) you played during the month.

This means the more you play the more entries you get. You do not need to be actively playing to be counted, just logged into your account and alive on the server. We will not be punishing people or not counting people for being afk.

P.S. Jetpacks have been re-added back for those with access to the donator spawn.

Thanks to everyone that showed up, was a good night.

Keep an eye out for more events over the next few weekends.

On the 23rd of November, SAES became 19 years old, therefore to celebrate this, I will be holding a night of in-game events tomorrow (26th Nov) at 19:00 (GMT/Server Time) with numerous prizes to be won.

In other news, with 30 days left until Christmas, we are putting the following donation changes in place:

From today (00:00 - 25th November 2022) until 23:59 on the 31st of December 2022, the following changes to donations are in place.

• Double donation points: (2 points for every £1 donated)
• Ingame cash reward is $300,000 per £1 donated (instead of $100,000 per £1)

Gameplay

• Two entrances to the safe interior
  • Publicly accessible entrance
  • Private entrance
    • Located after gate 1, only accessible by the defending organisation
    • Locked behind 2 gates which can only be opened by the defending organisation
• A robbery is initiated by cracking gate 1
• After cracking gate 2, you will find yourself in a hallway with Gate 3/4
  • Both gates will lead to a safe
  • Only one of these safes will have money inside of it.. will you spend time cracking both gates or will you play your odds and only crack one?
• After cracking the safe with money in it, gate 1 will automatically close
  • Your only way out is cracking gate 5
  • After cracking gate 5, leave the safe's interior through the marker
• After cracking gate 5, you have 3 minutes + time relative to the distance between the base of the attacking and defending organisations (shorter distance = less time)
• As attacker, after leaving the defenders' safe interior, deliver the money bag to your safe interior
  • Attackers need to enter their own interior through their private entrance
  • Delivery marker is located behind gate 1 of the attacker's safe interior
• When carrying the money bag, being killed/disconnected/arrested will cause you to drop the money bag.
  • Once the money bag is dropped, only the attacking organisation can pick the bag back up
  • Defenders cannot pick up the money bag, their mission is to defend it and prevent attackers from picking it back up after it's been dropped until time runs out
    

Rules

1. No spawn-killing. Do not camp an organization's spawn. Position your defenses elsewhere if necessary
2. Arresting in organization robberies is forbidden
3. Participants may only use their organization's spawn in the robbery, using any other spawn is forbidden
4. Removing the organization's money immediately before or during a robbery is not allowed
5. Only the members of the attacking and defending organisations are allowed to participate in a robbery. Helpers, allies and others are prohibited from participating
6. Using properties to spawn is disallowed during an organization robbery. You may only use your organization's or a hospital's spawn.

Congratulations @JojoDb

@FoxZilla said in Clan Mix-up!:

Congratulations lads next time I will be waiting for a good announcement about @Terry like becoming a SAES HQ

Hi all!

We realise we've been a bit quiet lately however don't worry, we have been keeping a close eye on things!

We have seen that the player count has been fluctuating quite a bit and as a result we've been looking into improvements we can make in the short term to improve player experience.

Whilst we would love to delete SWAT and hire Indians for cheap new scripts with donations as demanded, sadly some of these things aren't an option.

Speaking of Indians, that brings me onto my first bit of news! I would like you all to welcome @JohnnyEnglish as our latest brave volunteer to the Gang Management team.

Though with great additions, comes great loss. Unfortunately @DROT has taken the decision to retire from his current position within Gang Management. A massive thanks to @DROT for time he has dedicated towards this role!

---

Following that, this brings me onto my second piece of news. One of the primary observations identified was that we have some clan members in high community engagement positions that currently do not have as high as presence ingame as we'd like.

With this in mind, SAES HQ have taken the tough decision to revamp the current Group Management team and reallocate these positions to individuals of whom hold a much greater presence in-game and understand the current needs/desires of our active playerbase. With this higher level of engagement, we hope to see the new recruits proactively looking to improve and expand on the current group gameplay and give players the opportunity to delve deeper into those organisations outside of their beloved gang/squads.

A massive thanks to the time and dedication that @Daryl and @Jay spent building up the Group Management team from scratch!

Without further ado, I want to welcome both @Element and @Yoko as your new group managers! Any queries regarding groups can be pointed to them going forward but give them a good few days to get up to speed!

---

Last but not least, time for our final bit of the mix-up!

One of the more significant parts of the mix-up is the introduction of our basic developer role. This role will be solely responsible for sorting out gang/group git requests following approval from the relevant Gang/Group Management team.

With the addition of this new role, we hope this will allow our more advanced devs (cough @Scorpyo ) to spend less time on minor changes and more on developing new features for you all to enjoy! Big thanks to Scorpyo for the time he's dedicated to assisting our GM teams where possible in the meantime! Now you have more time to get 1.6 part 2 released! (Coming soon(tm)).

And I'm excited to announce that @Steven will be our hot hunk of Canadian fresh meat for this role!

Over the next few weeks we'll be looking at increasing the number of special server events/power hours taking place, so keep an eye out for those!

Join me in congratulating the new individuals below and look out for them ingame!

~SAES HQ
