-1 the only issue i have with this is how rdm can really screw over a mayor, id be okay with implementing this as long as mods would be able to set u back to Mayor without having to wait. Making the cooldown longer would give so much more power to rdming, for this reason im going to -1 for now but if mods could find a way around this id +1 it.

Have fun on the trip my dude

Bro doesn’t have one

+1 let the man scroll

walked out in front of my base and saw this: https://imgur.com/a/U2HKXI7 I was completely caught off guard. I would have never seen myself as the kind of person to get teary eyed or emotional over gmod dupes but this made me tear up a bit. Thank you to everyone who helped with this, it was really really sweet of you all.

Name: Sauce hooboododo I Martian SteamID: STEAM_0:0:78646281 Rank: T. Admin Timezone: PST Length of LOA: 1 week Reason: I've never talked about anything personal within online communities because I feel like it's kinda lame and at the end of the day we're all strangers no matter how much we play online games together. However, I could use a place to type this out and I figured where better than my LOA. I'll leave a TLDR at the bottom of this post if you don't want to read this. When I was 6 my parents got me a dog for my birthday. My family had known the owners of a ranch that was right up the street for a few years and on that ranch they bred and sold purebred Australian Shepherds. They had recently had a litter of puppies and on my birthday my parents took me to the ranch and let me choose any puppy I wanted to take back home. Around a year later my parents got another purebred Australian Shepherd so that we could start breeding Aussies at our ranch. After another year and a half, my family started breeding and selling our own puppies. We only ever bred and sold 3 litters with 20 total pups. However, out of those 20 puppies we only sold 19. In the third and last litter was a puppy that I had grown attached to. So attached that whenever a customer would come to the ranch to take a look at our puppies I would take my pup away from the others and go hide him in my room. Over the month many customers came to look at the puppies and we managed to sell all but one of them. The one that wasn't sold wasn't because he wasn't cute or playful enough, but rather because I would take and hide him from customers. After begging and begging I finally got my parents to cave and let me keep him. I was 9 when the dog was born and was taking Karate at the time. Me taking Karate mixed with the fact that the puppy's coat was all white with one black stripe on his waste led me to naming him "Blackbelt." Me and Blackbelt became incredibly close over the years. He would prefer to sleep in my room as opposed to my parents room with all the other dogs, when I was in high school he loved to stay outside with me until 1 or 2am some nights while I smoked joints while my parents were sleeping, whenever I had a party or kickback he would hang around until everyone either left or went to sleep. Whenever things got tough in life, whether I was going through petty drama between friends, going through a breakup, failed an exam, or was just sad, I would always go home at the end of the day and spend time with him, every day. I'm 21 now and we've been inseparable since I was 9. Unfortunately over the past year and a half Blackbelt has been suffering through brain cancer. These past 2 weeks specifically have been incredibly hard on him as his symptoms have gotten exponentially worse. Over the past 2 weeks he has had 2 seizures and suffered a stroke. After the stroke he had gained facial paralysis in the left side of his face, a few days later the paralysis spread to both sides of his face and jaw. Because of this, he has had a hard time eating a drinking water due to him not being able to close his mouth. He also wasn't able to close his eyes leading to his left eye to dry out and go blind. After arguing with myself for the past week I realized that there wasn't much left to wait for. He had gotten so bad and it was only getting worse. Today I made one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make before. I took him to the vet and had him put to rest. He was one of the closest friends I've ever had, as corny as it sounds saying this about a dog I truly considered him family. I feel like I could use some time away from staffing, I'll still be on the server but I don't want to have to deal with minges and petty arguments over whether or not someone was "in your base" when you shot him. TLDR: My dog has passed away and I feel like I need time away from staffing Here's a link to an imgur post with 5 picture of Blackbelt, just felt like leaving this here. https://imgur.com/gallery/aN180PT

Understandable but thats why I’m suggesting that during this challenge a player should only be able to collect from their own printer and not be able to claim other printers, I think that would help a lot with what you’re bringing up

Agreed, make this a struggle

I think that if this were to be implemented, part of the challenge should be that you can only collect from your own printers and you cannot claim printers

+1 put this in the game now

getting 100m isnt supposed to be easy, thats my whole point

Whats your point though? you can get hundreds of mills without alts too.

This had nothing to do with irl/ingame trading. Furthermore alt farming is not the only way to make fast money, you can buy other players printers. This drives RP as opposed to building a printer farm on your own. An economy wipe feels unnecessary, I’ve been on the server for around two years now and have never used alts. If we wiped the server, many players, myself included, would most likely leave as the time sink we’ve put into the game would feel so worthless.

-1 seems unnecessary, the server is supposed to be a vanilla darkrp server at the end of the day.

I know, it’s just unfair that some players are able to make money at a rate that’s absolutely ridiculous. You actually play on your alt account though which I don’t mind.

I like this idea but the main issue isn’t the server being full from too many alt accounts. The main issue is some players making money at a rate that’s unfair to other players. Even if we disconnect one account every time someone tries to join the server while the server is full, that’s not going to help the fact that many of the top players are logging several accounts in at a time in order to make $2mill+ every hour.

I think if we put this into effect we’d definitely need a grace period where people can still use alts for a little while. We can’t just drop the rule and immediately put it into effect or a bunch of people would get banned without even knowing the rules exists. We’d need to advertise this rule heavily for a few weeks and make sure everyone knew about the change before fully implementing it, to ensure that the high level players knew to stop using alts.

+1 id love to see more props added into the game

Description: Make using alt accounts against the rules. Reasoning: So many people on the server use alt accounts to farm 20+ printers at a time. This causes a high pop that consists of mostly citizens which makes the server look bad, in my opinion. On top of that, the high pop on the server means that each player has less props, usually I'm fine with that as I feel it makes a lot of sense. However, when 10-25% of the players on the server aren't even real, those props that are being accounted for in the prop limit are completely wasted. Besides the issues that come up when it comes to server population, the level of unfairness in terms of makingmoney on the server is unreal. While utilizing one account's printers you can make approximately $200k an hour, however some players who have 10 alts or more can make $2mill an hour, or even more depending on how many alts are being used. The fact that this isn't already considered exploiting is beyond me. Maybe I'm being naive in believing that this is an issue that's even solvable, but since we can see who's using alt accounts to ban evade I would assume we'd be able to see who's using alt accounts for farming purposes. This is an issue that's been well known within the server since before I started playing and it's something that has been considered completely acceptable for reasons that I cannot understand. It has created a completely unfair environment where the economy and leveling system is easily exploited, prop limit is being completely wasted on accounts that aren't even playing, and it's a bad look for the server overall. Additional Information: While I believe that utilizing alts in any way should be banned I'm willing to accept that many players, I'm sure, would disagree. I think a compromise would be to set a limit on the number of alts a player can use, doing so would lessen the impact that alt accounts are having on the server pretty significantly. I wont name names but the fact that some players are using 10-15 alts at a time should be considered exploiting and unacceptable overkill. I'm sure that many players are going to disagree with me but I felt like throwing this on the forums to see how others felt.

+1 idk what happened to it. it stopped working right before the xmas map was released and has been broken ever since.

To say that "the building that I put up was very edgy, but there was nothing directly racist on it" while also acknowledging the sign you had put up, I feel is a bit contradictory. You have far more than enough playtime to know what is and is not allowed on the server. Putting up what you had up anywhere on the map, let alone the fact it was right in front of spawn, represents the server in a very bad light. There are plenty of DarkRp servers on Gmod that couldn't care less about racism and being "edgy" but Garnet is not that server. Again that's something I feel you don't need to be told being as you've been around the server long enough. Here's the dupe/sign in question: https://imgur.com/gallery/7ucsVgC

yes +1

-1 bases are already hard to raid, this would make raiding even more broken

-1 the whole point of having standard points and premium points is that its hard to get the standard points. Getting an item that requires standard points shows that you have prestiged enough to get them. Adding the ability to just buy standard points takes away from prestiging and makes those items less rare.

You should know the rules of the server. the mayor cannot make kos laws, especially for something as simple as "jaywalking." You went around the server killing players for walking in the street, regardless of what the laws were at the time you mass RMDd. You mass RDMd and are now trying to justify it by explaining minge laws that the mayor at the time had in place.
