I think you have the wrong mindset, this is a DarkRP server, it is not supposed to be some sterilized Ultra-RP, the vast amount of dumb shit going on kinda keeps things shaking (or maybe im just a poopbrain idk)

I agree entirely. There is a massive portion of buildings that often go unused, and there isn't much logic behind maintaining this long-lived rule on Dark RP. Having the ability to own and construct between multiple buildings, even skimming the streets (long as there's plenty of room for the average person to cross freely) should be allowed. Considering the vehicles were removed from the RP many years ago makes the streets being fully open unnecessary. As someone who's been in this server for approximately 6+ years, this rule has condemned us players to a limited experience by not only removing cars (irrelevant), but upon doing so continuing to restrict our base building creativity/roleplay. Allowing this would make for a more immersive experience.

Description: [description of what you are suggesting, one paragraph minimum] Edit the mega basing rule for Crips/Bloods/Grove to say Mega Bases may not obstruct the street or traffic opposed to Mega bases may not go across the street. Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] The Current rule for mega basing states that you can mega base with a leader and 3 gang members in so far as it does not go across the street. This arbitrarily limits the basing opportunity when it is very easy to be able to build sky bridges that connect bases of similar height. There is no harm in having sky bridges that connect bases as they do not obstruct traffic or prevent anyone from doing anything on the server. Additionally there are only 3 gangs so there can only be 3 mega bases up at once so this isn't something that can become a pervasive thing. Additional Information: [Photos/Videos][/CODE] Look this is the base that is making me want to make this suggestion. There is no obstruction and it provides ample space for anyone to build as a hobo or role play in any other way.

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: Chevy Sonic Typical leader Your in-game name: HG Mo Your SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:474669005 In-game name of reportee: Chevy Sonic Typical Leader SteamID of reportee: STEAM_0:1:183278938 Date & Time of incident: several scenarios over the course of the last 4 days. Timezone: PST What happened? (include any proof): Chevy shouldn't be staff because he shows lack of a basic understanding of the server rules and has zero control of his emotions and actions. He ignores players request and does what he wants. Part 1 For some context. Me, Jbh, Sureak, and Vortex were all mega basing and Chevy was upset because the group had successfully raided him. In return, he decides to propblock our entrance and stop us from getting inside of our base by placing down a bunch of props over our quick doors as well as main fading doors. Here are a few screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/fWEO0jp https://imgur.com/YwNSo03 Here is a clip from my Sureak's point of view of Chevy propblocking our base and having Danny the dog need to explain to a Chevy (Who is a staff member) that he's not allowed to do this. and it is clearly shown that he's doing this to spite us. I think that this is inappropriate behavior for a staff member who's supposed to know the rules. Clip: https://streamable.com/w5u1mz Part 2 After being told that the mega base was allowed, Chevy figured it was a good idea to put one up for himself but neglected the rules that he was just informed on. ignore staff requests to delete his fail mega base. We also see him show disrespect to players and have a rude attitude towards me and the admin. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/1y5rVvt8ZM9QaQ/d1337k5QTxEw?invite=cr-MSxNWGssMTU3OTExOTI3LA In this next clip I'm explaining to him that he needs to delete his base because he's not using it and I wanted him to delete it because my friend wanted to base there. I even tell Chevy that he can save the dupe and paste it later. When Robert takes the sit, he tells Chevy to delete the base but Chevy says that he's taking sits and that "It's not bothering anybody" and decides to fly away in the middle of our sit. This is very unprofessional and a staff acting like this isn't a good look on the staff teams behalf. He is making it clear he doesn't care about the players and staff. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/1y5woiNJB38mU0/d1337qQaB0Fh?invite=cr-MSxGdHQsMTU3OTExOTI3LA The above situation continues in this next clip, my mic doesn't pick up my audio but i'm basically explaining to him that all he has to do is save his base and delete it and to which he responds to me with a very rude and aggressive tone. A little later in the clip he then says "I'm leaving this fucking phone call" and then after that he calls me a "Prick" and then leaves the voice channel (This was in the official garnet gaming darkrp discord server) This display in the middle of the official server is extremely unprofessional, it shows that Chevy does not have what it takes to maintain a calm demeanor when dealing with situations, This is bad enough in individual sits as shown above but when it transgresses to a public discord call where he is supposed to be a representative member of the community it is even worse. Part 3 In this third part it is proven that Chevy lacks a basic understanding of the rules and D3a. In this screen shot we see him WARN a player for AMRDM (Attempted Mass RDM) which requires a 2 week BAN not a warn. As staff he literally let a player free and cause more havoc instead of banning him which is what the staff in the situation was supposed to do. This shows how Chevy doesn't understand the rules. Additionally Chevy was warned today for RDM- an example of Chevy not knowing the rules is this screenshot of him rdming and breaking the most simple rule on the server. As a staff member you should be following the rules and establishing them rather than breaking them and contributing to a bad environment for other players on the server. Part 4 Chevy continually misuses muting the chat of players, any time there is any disagreement in OOC the person is muted. There are a few examples of this occurring just today. In this first image- Chevy can be seen muting Jitt for 5 minutes for saying Chevy was staff abusing. Whether or not the claim Jitt was making is true or not a mute in OOC is not the response. Never did Chevy sit down with Jitt and let him know if there are issues you should report to the forums, instead he figured that chat muting him was the solution. Conclusion I believe the most important thing for staff members on Garnet is to portray a sense of professionalism and being a role model for other players to aspire towards. Chevy has failed at both of these goals. While one of these interactions might not be that bad, the continual disregard for rules is unbecoming of a staff member. There is never a situation where a Staff member should be prop blocking someone's base, warning someone for ARDM, or blatant disregard of rules such as mega basing and rdm.

-1 people would leave cause they see the base and say to themselves " this guy has too much tie on there hands and doesn't leave his base for 10hrs each day Too much money bye." leave. Everyone who +1's is just part of his "gang" so there just +1'ing it cause a friend did it

As other people are saying i think you just have the wrong mindset. It is just a video game.. but anyways goodluck

+1 i dont see any reason for there to be rules against this

+1 its the coolest thing ive ever seen on the server

Corolla is my dad.

You are always welcome to build some huts in our base lmao.

Neutral This doesn't really impact me at all, since I don't base. But I think in general the mega base rule is perhaps too vague and needs some clarity. You may megabase, although it cannot be in or across the street. You need at least 3 or more gang members to megabase. You cannot take up more than 3 buildings. The 2nd photo you have makes sense to me, it's makes one whole street one large base. The first one which you've been using lately just mostly makes me laugh at how excessive it is. I do think that it needs to go exactly over the tunnel at minimum, it's kinda just right below the top from what I see. I do agree a bit with Wendoly, camps hobo hut is clipping into your sky bridge, and this is supposed to be a more vanilla server and bases have been getting more excessive being outside of doors and buildings. It could go either way for this, just my two cents on it. The only thing I legitimately dislike about this is that I've been wanting to build something in that right corner now for like 4 days, outside, as a hobo and you goddamn farmers are taking away my valuable hobo building space and I swear to god soon enough I'm building huts inside of your bases living there rent free.

+1 this man spitting facts

I believe I've thought pretty critically about this one. Hobo cities and hobo huts already prevent movement in a ton of ways some of the time, 99% of the time a mega base won't even be up because people wont put in the commitment to build one. Just to kinda show this rule being a bit asinine here is a base that is legal as it does not go across the street. Look this rule not being changed obv isn't the end of the world but building is so fucking stale rn I think this would be a nice change of pace. Whether or not this rule is changed I will still be mega-basing from now on tbh.

It’s sad to see you go

This is almost solely an update in preparation of Halloween, when really cool content will start rolling out Server Performance Optimization Player-Perspective Around the fountain area, the FPS players run should be significantly improved with the help of some black magic (Chess) Server Perspective Re-wrote big portions of the day and night cycle, resolution in one of the biggest performance/FPS hogs of the server to run quickly and without affecting the server to a noticeable degree. With 128 players and a 22 tickrate, we now have a TON of extra headroom before we even stutter on occasions, let alone lag. Context Menu Extra additions have been thrown on Radio Volume Control May be utilized to turn down or entirely turn off the DJ radio on our server as to avoid disrupting your experience playing Cosmetics Rendering May be used to turn up or down the distance at which you will draw other players' cosmetics (pointshop items) - if you're a non-VIP member of our community with a bad PC, you will be given the option to turn off cosmetics entirely as to enjoy a higher FPS experience. If you're a pog VIP members who purchased 50k Premium Points over the last week alone as a result of autopay, you're free to turn up the slide as much as you'd like and enjoy seeing people's cosmetics from afar Deliveryman Class Brought up to the same standard other classes are QOL changes would be the classic Garnet DarkRP black box with a white border, and a display of your destination's name. Multiple other destinations have been added to the pool! Inventory System Fixed inconsistency where staff had 2 pages in their inventory, as opposed to a double-tall inventory with a singular page (that is what the UI looked like prior to the update) Physgunning Stoves and Weed Pots can now be physgunned by their drug manufacturing owners DJ Radio Increased the distance of the radio to nearly double the previous transmission range, meaning, you no longer have to snuggle up to your DJ buddy in order to hear his radio. But also, if this DJ isn't your buddy, he can now minge the piss out of your little base by blasting annoying tunes outside. Cyber's first hand in an update as SA :^) Players can now buy GL ammo and shipments from our unbox menu (UP FOR DEBATE) Prop Lighting I'm very much debating making it to where shadows casted by the map will no longer affect client props, leading to much more visibility to player builds, with the downside of.. in certain dark lighting, things may look awkward - as props are always lit. But this may even be seen as a positive, because now even when building in a dark area, you are able to make a highly visible interior here's a photo of current behavior: Pointshop - Death Effects Here's some "late-game" items that everybody wants --oops postponed until a later update--

There's a reason there's not a single popular server running this map. I'd rather stick to what works.

-1 Just don't see a need for all the sky bridges lol

Brothr WHAT?? You were the first one to do this... -1 cause I like big ass buildings

I appreciate that more people seem to be using megabases, since they rarely had any use before. However, the idea of allowing the building of sky bridges to interconnect bases just doesn't sit right with me. Not only it looks bad but it also prevents people from using certain swep's to travel around (e.g. Spiderman swep and parkour swep) opposed to what you said about keeping good traffic. Even in the image that you used we can appreciate Camp's hobo hut clipping through the "sky bridge", if people were to build a sky bridge that goes beyond the 6x6x6 space that hobos are allowed to use for their huts maybe it would be a good idea if you can make it work. Besides, from my experience in order to build a megabase the players can only connect 2 or 3 buildings that are shoulder to shoulder, without resorting to some gymnastics to get to the other building that is located meters away from one each other, it just doesn't seem right since the map already has a bunch of buildings with plenty space inside to go ahead and make the streets your new canvas. I will only support the following change; This will allow for building only over the sidewalk (without allowing sky bridges that obstruct the view and walkable space) to connect multiple bases.

I wonder how anyone could get past that tunnel with a giant bridge and hobo hut covering a large part of the space. This is what we would see if your suggestion was accepted. I just wish people were more critical when supporting a potentially big suggestion such as this and seeing the disingenuous reasoning for it. But yeah just to restate and close on this one; -1 To the general suggestion but +1 to the idea of widening the space available for megabases to occupy the sidewalks only (Even thought that is not what this suggestion is about)

This argument isn't even worth a full rebuttal. Its unsubstantiated no evidence for it, and the fact we were helping new players out giving guns and shit says otherwise.

Took 2minutes to respond means you don't get off your chair and giving new players guns just to massrdm and get banned gets the server nowhere

Due to recent events and ongoing issues at Garnet gaming I have decided to quit from Garnet gaming. This Choice only comes after being a moderator for less than 2 weeks. Due to outright toxic, chaos and immaturity within staff and VIP members within Garnet gaming. The amount of chaos that comes along with the VIP members that have multiple pages of banned history and no one seems to do anything about it or deal with the outright toxic Behavior within the community for the sole purpose of not wanting to lose population is baffling to me. I choose not to surround myself with this toxic Behavior. I hope korn, cyber and nutter can take this as a learning experience, to possibly improve the community for the better of the younger generation. This upcoming generation has become very entitled and opinionated. They think the world revolves around them and as adults people we are obligated to help improve Society for the better good of humanity. And I feel like this community is failing in that regards. And to everyone that wanted to see me gone as a staff member, are you really happy? When you lay in bed at night are you truly happy with yourself. I encourage you to get out start a business and do something fulfilling with your life. Don't let the anxiety and depression get to you. Whether you have issues at home or whatever the case may be. Go out and do something, go out and do something better for this world so when you're 40 years old and you're sitting with your wife you feel accomplished. Knowing you tried. I don't say all this to be hateful or distasteful towards certain people. I say this so you understand. At the end of the day I only do this out of the goodness of my heart. And I hope you realize that. Best regards, Brayden Aka Chevy
