How about, don't get muted?

Mute is a punishment, something that you shouldn't get at all. Unless you're dedicated to rulebreaking and getting muted often, I'm certain that you will live through those few minutes of your mute once every few weeks/months without talking to anyone. If you're enduring a punishment, the last thing that will be looked at is your comfort. It is a punishment, it shouldn't be comfortable for you. This is similar to suggesting for adminjailed players to have something fun to do while being in adminjail.

It was implemented to prevent players from abusing it to stand up faster after getting knocked over/skipping falling animation.
In comparison to that, the 1sec nuisance that you have to experience is a lesser issue.

Great, now try and find a SAHA agent in game to sort your request. You've 48 hours.

The yellow text on top of the screen is missing.

Go in game, write "/seen Haley6797" then take screenshot of the yellow text.

@LopeZz There is no "/seen username" in that screenshot, as previously said.

@LopeZz find a SAHA agent in game to sort your request, tagging them here will not do anything.

Also there is no screenshot of /seen included, please add the missing bit.

February 2020 Police Equipment Update

A thorough analysis by the SAPD; has declared response policing units of the law enforcement as severely lacking modernisation in form of personal equipment in the recent years. In order to ensure safety of our citizens as well as ability of our personnel to carry out their duties effectively and comfortably, following changes/additions were made:

• State Troopers now have access to blue uniform (pulaski) in addition to their former ones.
• Police Officers and Sheriffs now have access to M4 assault rifle and 4 magazines totaling 200 rounds.

Changes made will be reviewed after a period of observation and based on gathered information may remain, be adjusted or fully reverted.

Influx of new scripted events on the server depends on the amount of persons creating scripts and their speed/quality of work, as well as developers who have to review and give feedback on those scripts before even considering implementation. Unfortunately there is not much on that front that we can do; we can not decide how many people will be interested in scripting for the server, nor can we affect the speed at which they work or which project they will work on, it is not a paid job and those are volunteers. On the other hand we can also not affect the speed at which finished scripts are being reviewed by developers, they too are volunteers and spend as much time that they can/will.

I agree with you that things aren't going as fast as they could or should, I just hope to explain why the situation is as it currently is and how little we really can do to change it, as it depends almost entirely on the amount and time/will of aforementioned volunteers. Naturally if you think that you've a possible solution, please make it known.

I wonder if you'd be happier if explosions were disabled in close proximity of bank entrance, like it is at SR.

You need to drop this weird idea that we're in a democratic society in which you get to decide what is going to happen through a number of votes.

If you visit a cafe for example, with a group of your friends and you all decide to demand from the cafe owner to start serving lemonade instead of coffee, that doesn't mean that you suddenly own the cafe or get to decide what the owner does with it. The same goes for SAES, while they were in no way obligated to do so, people who run this server have decided to give you an opportunity to make suggestions and polls, so perhaps they would have those changes implemented.

A habit is developing where people believe that they are privileged or entitled to something. Community vote polls are merely a tool to display how many people within a limited group of voters feel about certain things. You were given a finger, don't try to take the entire arm. Polls are a tool which assists decision making, they are not decisions themselves.

Suggestion has been approved and implemented.

January 2020 SAPD HQ Changes & PD Vehicles Addition

Police vehicle fleet is everchanging as are the threats that our personnel face. To keep up with the times, some minor additions were implemented with purpose of assisting law enforcement while experiencing different issues or situations:

• Two vehicles were added to LS, LV and SF Police Departments each, one Sultan and one Buffalo. These cas are reserved solely for squad officials; in order to combat their inability to access police vehicles outside of their squad base.
• Police Sultans received an engine upgrade, their speed was increased to match that of Buffalos. Handling remains the same which provides law enforcement with multiple vehicle choices depending on situation and preference.

We’d like to thank the retiring HQ members for their service throughout past years, SAPD wouldn’t be where it is today without your effort and dedication, @Sam_ @Tut-Greco. New HQ members are likely to emerge soon in order to replace departing persons, until that point of time the SAPD HQ will operate normally but with decreased number of managers.

Changes made will be reviewed after a period of observation and based on gathered information may remain, be adjusted or fully reverted.

@Joshbond said in Improving the relationship between Gang and Squad members (AS PLAYERS!):

The most toxic person on the server is Joe.... he insults everyone and as soon as someone says anything to him, he cries like a pathetic child.

You are currently insulting him because he said something to you and are crying like a pathetic child.

It is real art how you can claim that someone else is doing something wrong while doing the exact same thing yourself just by just saying that sentence.

Here's a suggestion which comes with support of combined squad HQ's. Please do not fall for the usual "cops vs. crims" crap and vote against it just because you are a cop. That aside, here is the suggestion:

Reduce jail time from 7 to 5 minutes.

Nobody ejoys spending 7 minutes of their gaming time staring at the wall and I think that we can all agree on that. This leads people to alt-tab or AFK, they go around their business instead or perhaps launch a different game, sometimes they do not bother coming back to play at all for a while.

Server activity decreases, more people are AFK and less players are on the streets to actually play the game.
This is not good for anyone, be you criminal or cop.

Please include screenshot of /seen, as well as address (name) of the property and more specific topic title
( "Inactive Business - Red County" for example )
Full format can be found here: https://saesrpg.uk/topic/4936/request-format

Contact a SAHA agent in game to review/resolve your request once done.

Then in the community we ask ourselves " how to help and increase in numbers " the cop side ! ...

Become more interesting as a squad maybe.

That's a bullshit argument if I've ever heard one. Are you saying cop life is uninteresting and attracts fewer people not because they have by far fewer activities available to them compared to criminal side; but because squads are not interesting enough? That it is somehow responsibility of squads as players to make up for that lack of content and development? I could step down to that level and whenever you complain about having a hard time in BR/JB/SR or wherever and simply say "Become more skilled as a gang."
