I'd vote positively if cops weren't included. 99% of cop gameplay is sneaking up on someone or setting traps, I think that this will largely negatively impact the cop society. Not a fan of blipless switch with cooldown idea either, already have enough of /gunfix mashing 24/7. Sometimes I spend minutes hiding behind the nearby wall and waiting for the perfect moment to show up and try arresting. Limited time blipless option does not allow prolonged planning. Cops are always greatly outnumbered, if made visible on the map they will rarely if ever reach a group of criminals unnoticed. Argument that cops would benefit from this is mild, we've already K panel and Dispatcher for tracking, ability to see unwanted players is rarely desired. On the other hand I do like the idea; for everyone else except for cops. As previously said it makes the server look more active. It can be useful to locate players that you want to play with. Whatsoever potentially ruining cop gameplay in order to make the server look more active is something I'd never agree with. Don't get me wrong now, it can affect criminals negatively too. All those SRs and BRs that rarely if ever fail will now fail even less often. Cops will get near you far less often, because you will see them on the map. I doubt that you'd enjoy an even less challenging experience than it already is. Tl;dr - Yes if cops not visible to others or are entirely excluded from the whole idea.

@MulayimSert @DenizUfuk thank you for taking interest in our squad. Unfortunately at this time we're not able to go forwards with your application for several reasons: You both used exactly the same application with exception of basic information like different names and age. Entirety of section three "III. Personal skills and knowledge" is missing. Application is poorly written with evidently no effort made, for this reason you're ~[DENIED.]~(red) You may try again once you're ready to fill out the format properly.

S.W.A.T. Activity (21.11.2019.)

Frequently Asked Questions If you are an ex-PC, how can you get your PC diploma back? The only way to get it back is by simply applying again after being in a squad for 4 weeks or repeating the SAPA education. You shouldn't have left for a gang in the first place. If you get kicked because of your inactivity, can you re-gain your PC membership back or not? For now, no one gets kicked from PC because of inactivity. If you have solid proofs to prove that you were a PC member, you can always share them with SAPD HQs or PCD. I am on the criminal side now, will they kick me from PC? All PC members have to inform a SAPD HQ or PCD if they want to join a gang or otherwise become full-time criminals. Do not ask an admin to remove you from PC spawn. Repercussions of failing to notify anyone could include permanent ban from affiliation to SAPD in any way. What are SAPD HQ and PCD? SAPD HQ is the HQ part of the PC group. PCD is the unit that supervises all PC units. They will monitor and potentially warn, kick and/or suspend people from PC whenever caught breaking the rules. More on PCD here: https://saesrpg.uk/topic/7111/pcd-police-complaints-department Are PCD members also PC testers? PCD and PC Testers are very different things. PCD members take care of reports about Procops and also answer the questions about PC. Testers take care of PC applications and PC tests. Although this is not to say that PCD members can't be or aren't PC Testers at the same time. How can you get a PC invite panel? PC inviting rights are as of November 2019 reserved by SAPD HQ, invitation depends on the outcome of PC Testers discussion. For SAPA Cadets; Can PC Testers train or test me for SAPA trainings/tests? PC Tester can not host SAPA trainings/tests. They're tasked with PC related matters alone. Who is in charge of my PC application? PC applications are reviewed & approved/denied by PC Testers. When is the deadline for the final answer of my application for PC? PC testers have an approximate deadline of one week (7 days from when you posted the application.). Note that waiting period may vary at times. Please remember that PC applications/tests have nothing to do with PCD. How can I officially become a PCD member / how often do you recruit? PCD accustomed recruitment is via application which opens only when we are in need of new PCD detectives. How can I get my PC test? Following accepted application status, you will be told who to contact for a test.

[PC] Pro Cop - Information Topic Discord: https://discord.gg/bJf4tb6 Table of Contents What is Pro Cop (PC)? How do I join Pro Cops? Pro Cop Tests PC Spawns & Tutorials Pro Cop Rules Are you certain that you wish to start a career within the law enforcement? Ask yourself the following questions: Is being a police officer more exciting than being chased by the police? Would you rather avoid spending long times in jail? Are you tired of being a newbie trainee, not respected by anyone? Are you ready to advance to the next level of professionalism, commitment, order and teamwork? If the answer is yes, then the Los Santos Police Department is the right place for you! What is Pro Cop (PC)? PC is a group for graduated police officers. They're granted access to equipment available only to SAPD personnel, ranging from dispatch communications and traffic regulation tools, to K-9 police dog units. Given that they have access to irregular equipment, all PC members are held at a high standard with strict rules in place. Being a PC member means being a capable police player and roleplayer, as well as well versed in server/PC rules. Full-time gang members are not allowed to be in the Pro Cop group. Exceptions are made to SAES clan admins. They are like all other required to follow the PC rules. How do I join Pro Cops? All persons who wish to join the police force may do so by completing the four weeks education course in San Andread Police Academy (SAPA), or by becoming an active squad member that has spent at least four previous weeks within an official squad. Unlike squads, SAPA offers full-time training to its cadets, designed with PC test/application as a final goal. Newer players are advised to start in SAPA rather than a squad, to be fully prepared for the PC test/application. PC group membership is obtained through a forum application. For application to be valid, aforementioned steps must be made. Join SAPA here: Browse Squads here: Join PC here: Pro Cop Tests Pro Cop test consist of 7 parts that will be thoroughly explained in game.

I think that you're having a hard time understanding that this is a game, place where people come so that they don't have to give a shit. This tendency that you have to take irrelevant and unimportant things and turn them into something important and dramatic is what annoys people. Believe it or not, 99.9% players aren't here to make friends, hold hands and think happy thoughts. They don't care in the least about who said what or who lied to who, what your nickname might be, why you were banned, who told what to who, this is not Spanish soap opera, it's a game. Place where people come to relax and have fun, not to care about other people and their emotions. We are not here to give you emotional support and a pat on the back. If you want that, go and experience the real life. Games are not a place for that. Before you brush this off as just another "bad comment", not all help comes in form of saying nice things. You seem to have trouble understanding why you're where you are so I thought I'd try and explain. This is the second topic you made with purpose of dramatizing and making yourself a victim. You need to understand that people don't care. Nobody cares except for you. The only reason you're a victim is because you made yourself a victim. Quit whining, man up and continue living your life.

Technically it wasn't your topic if you copy-pasted it.

@Brophy Could we not replace the current list of recruitment topics with a list of subcategories, one per each g/s? Those subcategories could then contain their respective recruitment topic. To explain it in short, as if we turned all private forums (subcategories) public, there would be a list of subcategories one per each g/s. That way people could be granted moderator rights within their own subcategory rather than entirety of tsg/gangs list. In addition they could have individual private subcategories not visible to public, or alternatively having a public subcategory could come with a condition that there will be no private subcategory simultaneously if that would burden the website in any way.

I'm having a hard time imagining how it would work. If it's an automated process, people will have no choice whether they want to keep it private or not. If it's not an automated process, you can create a scoreboard forum topic yourself and have people attach screenshots proving how much money they own. In both cases it doesn't work like /stats scoreboard of any kind because /stats can not be transferred, money can. It would be incredibly easy to work around they system and fake your numbers. If it's automated, I could withdraw 1bil from SWAT bank or have people lend me money until scoreboard numbers are refreshed. If it's manual, I could also withdraw 1bil from SWAT bank and have people lend me money, then take a screenshot of all that money and post on scoreboard before giving money back. Realistically, I own 2.5mil. On either of those scoreboard I could easily come off as owning 1bil, even though I don't. Alternatively if the scoreboard is automatically updated at a quick rate (hours) that would mostly prevent fake numbers however players would have no choice whether they want to keep it private or not. Maybe they'd have to explictly request for their individual account be removed from the list, but it's more likely to target absolutely everyone or no one at all.

I've been thinking about this a few days ago and agree entirely. What I initially had in mind was turning SWAT forum from private to public for it to serve as place for both recruitment topic as well as other topics further elaborating specific squad systems. For example I'd prefer showing interested players how squad works on all fronts, from SWAT academy to general squad information and management preferences. Dumping all of that info into a single recruitment topic easily makes it too long and boring to read. Additionally it is hard to manage and update. Having a place where people could browse several topics of the same g/s could definitely prove useful. I think that it would generally speaking be a welcome addition to g/s advertisement and information sharing. Moderator privileges are naturally appreciated too.

Regardless of the vote outcome it's an exploit which needs to be fixed one way or the other. No matter how you personally feel about it, requirement was not made with an intention to have gang members pretend that they're cops that might potentially respond. Either there's a requirement or there isn't, what's the point of a requirement in the first place if you're allowed to work around it?

@Kim said in Ingame Squad Spawn Arrests Scoreboard: I'm not positive about it, it will look like our competitive RPG server called ''SA*R'' (sorry for advertisement).. They currently have a scoreboard regarding Squad arrests. Same for criminals but in that case, Kills.. A lot of servers have scoreboards of some sort, it's hardly an unique or original idea. Merely because others realized that something is a good idea before we did, doesn't mean that we shouldn't do it.

Driving the armored enforcer from point A to point B for cash reward. Concept: Similar to criminals starting a BR, number of cops is required within the marker in order to spawn the enforcer. Police must protect the enforcer on the way to its destination, cash reward upon arrival for those in range. Enforcer can not be damaged (invincible), but is very slow. Criminals may attempt to kill the driver and overtake the vehicle, taking it to criminal drop-off point. In case of flipping, vehicle teleports/respawns. Alternatively, create pick-up item instead where the vehicle is flipped and have cops receive lower reward upon delivery to avoid abuse. As with all scripts, success depends primarily on whether someone will be willing to script it.

Allow gangs & squads to apply vehicle wraps to their organization vehicles, Wraps should follow the organization role theme. (Logos, colours, etc.) I'd personally be ready to pay 20 to get wrap on just one squad vehicle and I'm sure that there are other people who would too. With number of g/s on the server as well as number of vehicles they own, do the maths, it has to be profitable.

That suggestion is over a year old and covers all organizations as well as multiple stats. While that would be great to see, this individual suggestion is targeting cops alone as police activity on the server is at a record low. This could greatly affect cop activity and I believe that it should take priority over every other scoreboard related matters. While gangs would certainly appreciate having scoreboard of their own, they're not in the declining situation that police team is in and would not benefit from this as much as cops would today. To put it simple, activity of cop team depends on what changes we make and how soon we make them. Gangs on the other hand are doing just fine.

A rather simple concept primarily based on existent VIP and warehouse bag delivery scripts. Bags can be picked up from a Police Station and need to be transported to a destination. Bag carriers (players) appear on the map and can be killed. Bags, similar to VIP are dropped upon death and can be picked up by criminals. Cops receive reward upon delivery to drop-off point. Criminals receive reward upon picking the bag up (or alternatively, deliver it to a different drop-off point). Key difference from VIP: Several bags, one per each cop participant. Initiated from the Police Station by the Police team. As with all scripts, success depends primarily on whether someone will be willing to script it. However I believe that since we already have quite similar scripts, it might be possible to adjust them to fit this concept.
