there is currently no reason to continue prestiging past 3
I mean personally I think it's just cool to have a high-prestige, even if there's no real benefit. If you're going to continue collecting XP anyways then may as well just buy the rebirth totem and roll it over
That said however, I'd still be up for the idea of higher-prestige rewards. We do have the vending machines which could perhaps have a few more high-rewards (but I guess this isn't the thread to suggest that) so might be worth coming up with some ideas and putting them forward? 
The points shop is good as it is though in terms of playtime rewards

I made sure to get a lovely photo of us as a memory of good times
For real though, I'm sad to see you go mate! I hope that things go well in college and I hope to catch you now and then for a laugh. Take it easy in the meantime

While I like the idea of boosting the engagement with totems, I feel that the current rewards are pretty good and varied, and I still get excited when I find one.
The idea of both the pointshop and the !credits menu is to encourage playtime, and those who've played a lot can show off a cool hat or accessory which is otherwise difficult to get. As others have said, if it were too easy then a lot more people would own the rare / expensive hats, which makes them less desirable.

The HL2 crossbow is already in DarkRP in the same way that the HL2 rocket launcher, crowbar, and pulse rifle still is; it's just not possible to get hold of any new ones. There are some OG players who still own them and it's possible to use them still, but you'd be very lucky to find anyone with bolts to fire (as far as I know). I'm not sure why it's not possible to get hold of new ones now though, I like your suggestion to add it back, but if there's a good reason why it can't be done I would also understand. I'll stay neutral until I know more.

This needs to be the most expensive hat in the game. After all, nothing says “I have excessive disposable income” like a blue party hat lmao

I think the fishbowl hat seems like a pretty good addition to the others which are currently available in the F8 menu, why not

I like this suggestion on face value. For those who love building it would be a fantastic tool and would unlock so many new possibilities. However as you've mentioned, wherever there's a tool that CAN be used to minge, it DOES get used to minge. Even if there were limits set, a small percentage of people will experiment and eventually find ways of causing chaos. For example - even if we restricted large props, imagine being stuck in a prop so small that nobody could see who's it was. It's a good idea for sure, but I'm going to have to go -1 on this one.

Somebody should just make a GarnetGaming tutorial video already.
If someone does, HMU. I'm a great actor.
It's funny you mention this because I've had something in the works for a little while actually. I just need a bit more free time, I won't half-do it lol

I totally agree that it would be great for job commands to be added into the job description in order for new players to adopt them easier. GMod can be a little confusing with a steep learning curve for newbies, and I feel this would benefit a lot of people who struggle in the beginning potentially.

Ban Appeal
in Denied
9 minutes ago, xFish said:@sunnymuffins I'm not seeing you on our ban database, are you sure this is the correct steam id?
It's ok xFish, this is a ban that I put through yesterday and his SteamID is actually STEAM_0:1:61510234
With regards to your ban @sunnymuffinsI received a report from Goofy Guy who claimed that you were fading-door-abusing and then disconnected during a raid, just after he had killed you. He provided me with a clip which you can watch below as part of the recording of the sit. It shows him raiding your base and making it most of the way in, before you began fading-door-abusing and exchanged gun fire until he ultimately killed you, at which point he continued cracking the last keypad, at which point you disconnected.
It's against the rules to disconnect during a raid, and while I would prefer the option of issuing a warn for FailRP / FDA, we are unable to place warns for a disconnected player. I actually reached out to management to ask about the suggested punishment for this case (the admin reviewing this appeal can see this in the Executive Chat) and it was confirmed that a ban for FailRP & LTAP is the correct course of action.
In future my best advice would be to wait until the raid is over before disconnecting, by which time the raiders should have claimed your printers if they were intending to steal them from you.
Please see my evidence below:

While I do think that this would be a good change, I believe there was a specific reason it had to be done this way, but Garnet would be able to elaborate. I’ll remain neutral for now until I learn more.

Garnet is pretty far from vanilla already, so this is not too much of a difference. Of course, my idea of vanilla darkrp is like 2012-2013 era, so I might be thinking like walmart brand vanilla darkrp
I'm the same, I used to play probably around the same kind of time actually, back when the map was often Hometown 1999 and printers never had coolers (they just blew up at some point randomly) lol. Those were the days! I love that DarkRP is still going, and it's things like this which probably keep it alive in fairness. I just personally prefer the original vanilla days and this server (while not 100% vanilla) has been the closest to it that I've known. I have no doubt though everyone would love a casino and a plethora of other mods, but it saddens me because I knew the day would come and it's so distant now from what I grew to love. Just a personal preference, and probably not a popular one lol.

While I do really like this idea, the reason for my -1 is for the added difficulty in terms of moderation. I think it would add a great dynamic to the RP aspect and I like the examples that you have given of ways in which the Mayor might react (such as lowering taxes, or abolishing a law, etc) as this is an interesting take. It's just that I can see a massive increase in reports with reasons such as "raided PD before 5 mins was up" or "I removed the law and they still raided the PD" or "adverted raid but didn't give any reason" or even "RDM? I was countered in the 5 mins before I could raid the PD". So it will undoubtably add a large number of additional reports. Plus when it comes to raid timers (cooldown etc) they definitely have a place, nobody wants to be raided repeatedly, but where possible I think it's better to avoid additional timers for simplicity and speed of handling reports. Like I say though, it's a great suggestion but just a little difficult to moderate perhaps

You could always do /roll which gives 1-100, so 1-50 or 51-100 for a coin toss

Ahh crap, I mean I know everyone will love this for sure but vanilla DarkRP to me is the one. It was going to happen one day I guess

1 hour ago, EducationalSkeleton said:-Just use warnings, which are better documentation of a player's recent behavior anyways and serve as more of a deterrent due to their ability to increase ban time
I do agree with this actually, warns stay on record for a couple of weeks and if a player repeatedly breaks rules, they will eventually get banned for exceeding the warn limit. This has the added benefit of keeping track of repeated rule-breakers when different staff members are online and perhaps don't know about previous reports that have taken place.
However, there are some good reasons to jail someone instead. For example, I have taken reports where a player is just a little worked up about something, and taking 5 mins to chill (being jailed) does a better job at preventing revenge on the reporter then a warn would. For a good player who generally follows the rules, being jailed by spawn is a bit embarrassing and similarly does a better job at preventing further issues. Or for the more professional minges, if there's someone that's genuinely and very obviously attempting to mass RDM but have only killed 2 people so far, a 12 minute jail isn't generally something they want to wait out so they tend to LTAP after a minute or two in the clink, which allows us to go ahead and ban them for RDM & LTAP before they even got their 3rd kill in
So while I agree that warns do a great job at keeping track of behaviour, jailing does have it's place.
I would however see a good argument for warns to always be given alongside jailing. As it stands, this is possible when someone breaks two different rules. -
Neat idea with the prefix, it's nice for new players to know who's staffing on the server and hopefully it'll show a fantastic presence from the team. I'm hyped that the events are back too! We had a great time before and it will certainly boost the activity during low-pop times!
Awesome update!

Hope to catch you around when you have some spare time
All the best in the meantime mate!

Hey everybody, I wanted to thank you guys so much. I will go through each comment and message some of you personally in the next upcoming days, but here is the latest update on Dude from the ER
Me and my girlfriend were up waiting until the call came by at 4:30AM saying the operation went by successfully. His body temperature was still extremely low, but he's stabilizing now.
Good morning,
I am your Client X, and I will be your point of contact today until 4pm.
The attending doctor overseeing Dude's care today is X, who will be your doctor until the next shift change.
Our team knows how much you miss Dude. He is resting comfortably on continued IV fluids and pain management.
That's truly awesome news! He's definitely in good hands with the right people
Keeping my fingers crossed that Dude pulls through this like a champion

Yea, I think this makes a lot of sense actually and I love the idea! Better yet, what if you obtained the hat by simply playing on the SWRP server? If that’s possible then I think that would be great. Perhaps also for MRP and TTT too?

You have a genuinely fantastic application, however I can’t give you a +1 until you’ve read the staff rules. Have a good read through them, edit your post as required and I’ll keep an eye out to edit my response once you’ve done so

Well done to everyone who’s helped make the server awesome through your hard work and commitment, it’s fantastic to see the server we all love move high up in the rankings!
A big congratulations to our MVP’s @Wendoly and @Chawheadfor your massive sit counts, top work guys!
For those who perhaps didn’t quite meet the mark, don’t worry, the start of a new month brings new possibilities so let’s get back in there! It takes time to learn and progress, and making mistakes is just a part of your onward journey as long as we learn from them. Don’t be disheartened.
I’m hoping that this month I’ll be around a bit more, it’s been super busy (work-wise) but things are beginning to become more stable finally! Can’t wait to have a laugh with you all!
Here’s to another month, cheers

As mentioned by others, the Adv. Dupe isn't pay-to-win, it just provides convenience. In fact I'd actually recommend that new players spend some time building bases and gradually improving, as it's quite an important learning process, while having the added benefit of encouraging exploration of the map and trying out new ideas. Regardless, the Adv. Dupe isn't a necessity and donating helps support the server financially. If you can't afford to buy VIP yourself, then as Shank said you could always trade with someone in-game (they buy you VIP for x-amount of RP cash) which is quite a common way of getting it actually
