    The reason that happened is because you nlr 3/4 times and got punished for it as well. You broke the rules and was screaming at me so don’t expect any respect if that’s happening

    no no, I was one of the mods you were yelling at when we wanted to send you back with just a verbal on a rdm report on you.

    I've seen you on a lot and you have been calm in sits when explaining something even when the other person is being unresponsive.

    -1 this is the dude who lost his mind on us when we were trying to help him. dude got stuck in a dupe and instead of reporting or talking to the dude he just killed the prop owner. he lost his mind on us and cussed at us over and over. im the reason he has 2 diss in sit warnings.

    Hold off farming for now - this is going to be slightly controversial so I'll do my best to elaborate. I agree that farming is a good way of making a lot of money (and as a DarkRP farmer myself) I don't see anything wrong with chilling in a base with a few friends, adding to the server pop and allowing for better cars or weapons to be bought. I love all of that. However... with the server having just launched and with the points I have mentioned above in mind, this isn't a good time to farm. Right now we need to be pushing a group effort to welcome new players, participate in some actual RP, and generally have a good time. Only once a stable community is in place should we think about farming, because as it stands there's a good chance our millions will disappear with the server if we don't. I have instead opted to try and strike it big in the casino (I won't lmao) but that way I can at least mingle with the new guys here and have a laugh.

    this describes two types of players and after knoxx's reply i believe they both play important roles but ultimately its up to those who want to help AND fit those criteria. for those of us who do like to socialize and be welcomers into our community we should base closer in downtown as you said. we should be in every event we want to play in. we should help players and introduce them to people that fit their playstyle. i felt like i put blame to those who just wanted to play the game as its meta. i now think those that grind play a huge part in the overall investment of this server and having them play and be able to settle in with no expectation or pressure is exactly how we should treat those people. its a symbiotic relationship that we need. we as the RPers will do what we do and just have as much fun as we can being stupid in the streets.

    This may come off as extremely negative, but I think CityRP is unfortunately destined to fail. Why would we all leave the DarkRP server that we've all spent time and money on, just for a very similar server that has cars on it? And is a new player going to click on the server with 100 people on it, or on the server with 28 people on it?

    this is what knoxx was talking about and while i do appreciate hearing the input in order to understand better i do think the attitude is counterintuitive to what were trying to do here. i do agree that there is such thing as the sunk cost fallacy which makes it astronomically more difficult to start over but keep in mind you are not losing any sort of investment. dark RP will always be there. there will always be pop trends as knoxx mentioned but there is no investment lost, simply another oppurtunity available. and i would get if someone invested in darkRP wouldnt play city until they see city is more reliable. i can guarantee you the conversation with any alter on city is "yea i would play it but..." and addressing those issues would help the population in order to give us the chance of retention.

    It is destined to fail and my opinion is to just make DRP into cityrp

    DarkRP will get better, it always gets better. its already being discussed about making it better with cityrp stuff.

    It's good that people have differences in opinions. 

    This is a brand new server and people are actively trying to keep it up same as DarkRP when a newbie sees it has 120 people on it. There is no difference other then the community supporting it so the players who don't play garnet come and join. You get no where sitting and watching.      Everything has a part on the server weather you're printing, someone is trying to raid you to take the printers, from you to the cops watching it all go down with his 4 friends ready to arrest them all again to the minge in the fire truck / bus trying to run the cops over......because of stupidity. It might not all play well together sometimes but it what makes the server go... same as dark RP when staff are flooded with sits that spawn is blocked by minge army while theres a lockdown happening at a pop of 100. 

     

     

    i absolutely love the level understanding here and ive decided to adopt that. thank you. i think that youre right, everybody plays a role in this community and the interactivity we get helps, period. i think we could take it a step further and identify our roles and organize. Flame has been doing awesome events and im sure once proggy gets back we can have more SA events and such and that helps ESPECIALLY in high pops. thats whats going to keep me coming back tomorrow and hoping for something else cool to happen. Seeing people get ran over by minges is funny and even they have a place in the server so long as it doesnt go too far. most people are cool and tone it down once you say something or just get in a roof and the mods handle the situation, let everyone know it was just alot of goofing and continue on as pals.

    I agree that RP isn't always about making money but the thing is if we don't make it about making money nobody will be doing it and that has been proven in the first week of the server being up. If the main draw to the server is cars then why would you waste hours RPing and getting nothing to show for it? It'd be fine for a day or a few hours but that wouldn't be brining people back to paying on classes for the sole purpose to RP

    I think we should start using the suggestions page as you said and see if we can use that as a platform to figure out a good compromise. i think the casino is a pretty good comparison of how much an RP class should make. i have a few spreadsheets of 70-140 spins each from the roulette table and i can net +$1m in an hour and a half to 2 hours. compare that to a garbage man speedrunning trash with x10 amounts or hobos doing dumpsters with like a 1/132 odds of getting a 50k wallet in the trash or however the balanacing may need to be done. 

     

    "For any of you who actively play the server or have the last few days, don't give up! There are still people on the server who care about it even if there are people saying "It was built to fail." I know I'll be trying to play my part in being active, hopefully providing things to do for the players, and of course still farming printers. I encourage everyone including myself to brainstorm ways to balance out some classes to make them more worth while playing in regard to XP and money. Make suggestions! " - Eli

    ^^ Dis is da way

    But my issue is that you can't complain about money printing when it is the only viable way to farm mass amounts of money to get said

    imma have to concede on that one and say you right. i make pretty good bank on roulette most the time since printing is really my thing. thinking about it, yea youre right, printing is the core of the d/crp games and its not fair to blame those who are. my concern just stems from keeping players on and giving them incentive to hang around. i guess i just dont think people printing is entertaining anyone but its not peoples job to entertain others when playing a game. i choose to use my efforts to help the server in ways that i feel are beneficial but some folk just only like to raid and the basers help with that incentive for those types of players. my bad for sounding like a douche

    GARNET BRING BACK CITYRP 

     

     

     

    Garnet & Proggy: here goes 4 whole days of FURTHER continous development and bug hunting 

    CityRP day 5: Average Population of 9 players

    seriously, we were at max pop for a day or two and then what happened? its like a troll. like the people who told sony to bring back morbius just to fuck with them.

    the only people who want to play on cityRP dont even want to RP. why do we have a court, a taco bell, a cinema, a fire station, a bus station, multiple gas stations, and more if nobody is going to use them? instead people use firefighter to just get a fire truck and run people over, same with garbage man.

    The server is only back because people demand it, garnet didnt even want to keep the donation store up. people got to play for 3 days then just vanished. 

    Some members of GG are treating the server like a free for all and fucking with anybody new so theres literally no retention when it comes to new population. bitch about bringing it back then offer no support.

    its just people printing and doing nothing. I sell my printers and try to make the place more enjoyable and interact with people to keep that retention. giving out money, running the roulette wheel and calling big wins for anyone in the viscinity, RP at the gun stores and buy folks guns. its just disheartening to play last time it was up while it was a ghost town, falling in love with the idea, then getting a chance to help it grow and everything is completely out of control.

        Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs]

    cityrp is back baby and I’d like to see it stay that way! So you know imma say I’m on at late times, I care about the server, yada yada. BUT did you know I wanna GM too? Most likely if you know who I am. I’ve been on DRP for a little over a year now, can’t really seem to stay away from it for too long. So coming from that game with very similar rules I think I already got a basic understanding of what’s to be expected of me as mod. I also understand the importance of evidence gathering and double checking your commands to minimize error. 

    I feel having prior experience lets me get through the sits pretty fluidly, usually if I’m hung up on one it’s cus I’m waiting for evidence or I gotta waste time cus someone wants to Be difficult. I always try to make sure the sit ends with everyone friends at the end, or Atleast an amicable outcome so as to deter any kind of further harassment or issues. You don’t want to have to ban either dude but neither dude can respond aggressively after a sit so it helps if you calm em down and get everyone sitcheeated. In conclusion; I wanna be staff, man.

        Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: no

        If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? I run a customs shop where I make custom controllers, consoles, and random peripherals. I like smash bros and used to attend events/tourneys regularly, i also like going for long romantic walks on the beach with Wreckem 
    Did you read the staff rules?: Adric

  7. my point was that higher prop during low pop is incentivization for our mornings to get stormed by chads and making great bases with high prop count that stay up most of the day other due to afk or theyve been grinding that long. having the prop count on ammo and making it dynamic was the sexiest choice the blood diamond ever made. i think without realizing it they made the healthiest tool for the server. its like printers, youre incentivized to stay online by selling printers and in turn that helps population. our lowest pops are in the mornings and the dynamic prop count promotes getting in on those times.

    Come on at 8:56am EST and build a base when there are 70 props available and hold down the fort for 16 hours. 
     

    But really coming on earlier fixes this issue. 

    funilly enough this is the way. you gotta show your drp dominance by having a 70 prop base up for hours. only true OG's get that prop limit

  9. -1 Toddd has left with a few bad impressions. I do feel for Him, a lot of his issues back in the razor days were others bullying him, but he was still nice. Unfortunately sometimes it feels like he’s turned that bullying outward now. My interactions with Toddd have been minute and chill although I do know a lot of people have had it with random comments from him and his attitude. He used to be super chill but he could also randomly outburst at any moment. Sorry toddd. Hang around a bit and be cool again.

    definitely the best DRP manager out there. And it's not just because he's the only one that interacts with TTT lmao.

    I ain't one of your main homies, but its still nice seeing you around in the TTT discord, and lord forgive the rare occasion where you hop in a vc with us TTTards. Very cool guy, I gotta say.

    maybe now that you're no longer DRP staff you can just be a TTT main trololo

  11. you've done an amazing job shin, I don't know how you managed to keep it up for so long. but hey, now that your'e not staff maybe we can actually play? I'm glad you were here to help the server though. glad you were such a prominent face in this community. I remember when all that chrisx drama happened and you were the only one to have my back even after sending evidence to other staff. you are the only reason I came back after that and I'm glad I did. got to meet all the fap boys and i made some of the best friends ever. remember when we were fishing and you were only 70%? full hundo % buddy. also, thanks for helping me be sober! 5 months my man! you're a fucking amazing friend, you're a super fucking amazing brother, and even though we all acted like you were gonna be gone forever we know you cant really leave. shank is the only one with the antidote. 2 years of hard work. 2 years of never stopping. 2 years of being everyone's best friend in this community. 

     

    Shin you fucking rock!

    see you in VC, bud
