Ooffff, the past 2 months have seen an intense amount of new content and gameplay optimizations
*NEW* Clown *NEW*
Once again, I have proved to the world that I am elite at generating the best roles that GMod servers have seen, with my latest innovation being the Clown role
Prestige 1 - Level 8
Left Mouse Button - Honk an annoying bike horn
Right Mouse Button - Drop a banana peel on the floor that other players will inevitably slip on
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION THAT IS NOT STAGED AT ALL

Casino
Re-introcued a partially re-written version of our last casino, with multiple tiered slot machines
In the next upcoming months, I will revamp some old machines, IE: poker and re-introduce them to the server
Death Animations
Our most underrated feature (probably because most of it is paid-for) is the death animations :^(
Instead of non-ceremonially having your lifeless fucking corpse fall to the ground, you can now instead have a naruto-inspired substitution jutsu take place, and rather than a corpse, you'll turn up into a fog, followed by a stray plank falling to the ground
Video demonstration (substitution jutsu and charred corpse)

Thank you to my gorgeous model @Gildarts who got $70 worth of pointshop points for this 5 minute clip.
Pet System
The Pet System has been added onto our server
Pets have been partially re-written and changed around to be optimized, if your computer was made in 2010 and Pets are causing an FPS loss to your game session, they will throttle their own behavior in order to boost your FPS, and if that doesn't work, pets will automatically be disabled for you!
HUGE thank you to the TERA community for publicly releasing their source code for pets!
Police System
Warrant
Increased Search Warrant expiration time from 1 minute to 3 minutes
Mayor Laws
Mayor law: Hazards | SEE CARD merged with boot throwing
numbering of laws
Removed display of legal laws for redundancy (only illegal laws should be shown to players)
Police Radio
A Radio SWEP has been added for police officers with the capability to quickwant users for intelligent reasoning (WIP).
The Radio SWEP can wanted players with a simple left mouse button click if they are lockpicking/keypad cracking a base, or you had witnessed the player murdering another user in downtown. Even during a lockdown, this radio can detect whether a player is out in the streets violating lockdown laws.
Right click will create a dispatch to which all police officers will be able to report to!
Administrative
Logging
Added detailed administrative logging for when players are hired by other players, or their contracts have expired.
added mugging logs, hardcoded
Utility
Introduced PropBan which disallows players from spawning props for a duration (due to abusive behavior). Allowed T. Admin+ access.
Bugs & Miscellaneous
Improved server connect times by 25% by consolidating files and removing unused code. Our join times were already sub 1 minute :D.
Fixed the ability to physgun weapons dropped directly from inventory
increased voice radius by 30%, allowing players to hear one another from further away
Updated DarkRP to the latest version and re-merged all the Garnet proprietary modules (optimizations, hireable roles, etc)
Partially recoded the DJ Radio, providing the server a 7.8% performance boost on average.
Corrected the behavior of Bail NPC, allowing the mayor to enable/disable bails.
Added back the $500 minimum requirement for /dropmoney, and made dropped money wear away and despawn after 5 minutes.
Corrected issue where Staff On Duty would get a cut of PD payout
Disabled the writecheck command and its variants.
Added automated timer to remove invalid lights with no owner
Added income tax to hireable roles
Fixed issue where certain HL2 voicelines would not trigger properly
Corrected issue where votes/polls would stay on a player's screen indefinitely
