really left the tag on those shorts man Welcome back!

Technically you can't fail this app, because it's a copy paste of the 2019 one that was accepted. Anyway +1 lmao, just look at that paragraph of references - Edit: Wait I'm really confused. No way you really just copy pasted someone else's application. I figured Toxins was LyndeFish and just reused the application on a different forum account?

wtf man nyx was a cool dude edit: nvm didnt hear about what happened. wtf Anyway +1. Can't go wrong with a veteran staff member. Good luck!

Ah. I remember, vaguely. Based on all other replies, past experience, hours, etc... +1 basically a 0% chance of being denied at this point.

Damn, this seems really cool! I hope I see people using this, provided it's allowed.

Last 3 videos in the doc are fine in my book. Screaming like a retard? Man it's DarkRP. Him telling you guys that you're pissing him off and screaming like a retard? Man it's DarkRP. Yelling at a new player who is yelling insults back? Man it's DarkRP. We don't have context to any of these clips. Next staff won't be able to roleplay with anyone under level 10 for fear of tainting their pristine, innocent, E-for-Everyone gameplay. Anyway, yeah he's being toxic in those sits. I do think that staff shouldn't act like that out of RP. For the behavior in sits, -1 as these were quite recent.

+1 I see you on a lot. I've never had issues with you. You look like you've ironed out some issues with other members in a mature way, so I trust that you will do well. Good luck!

I see it all the time. I think to myself, "Why? You could've just adverted raid and nobody would know!" I think a rule change is unnecessary, but either way is fine. It does make more sense, but I've never seen anyone have a problem with the lack of forced "PD Raid" adverts(other than you). -1

I've seen this guy on a lot. I don't remember any issues I've had with him. The application's grammar could use some work, but that's about it. - Edit: Mmm... I may not have had issues, but some sure have. -1

My bad, I don't know why I thought it was the other way around. What are cops supposed to do, then, if they see someone raiding without an advert? It's a much more common thing than cops RDMing and saying that the victim was raiding a base. In fact, I've never personally dealt with or heard of such a situation. If the cop arrests the player instead of killing them, the situation/resolution is the same. No proof either way, but it's an arrest rather than a kill. Sure, the cop should report the player raiding without advert. But do you see cops checking the chat to see if someone adverted raid before taking action? Either way, the fact that there is no rule stating that cops can't outright kill those committing illegal activities still stands. Civilians can counter and kill, and cops can too(with the rules written how they are currently). Again, I think cops arresting more players rather than killing would be perfectly acceptable. I'm not out to play CP just because I want to kill people, I would play thief and raid random bases or packed gun shops to do that. I'm just saying, the staff enforces a nonexistent rule.

I disagree. If there's a raid advert without an over or a death prior to the cop killing the reporter, then it's case closed not RDM. If there was no raid advert, or was a death or an over advert, then the cop would need to submit proof that they didn't RDM IIRC. Pretty sure the "well the victim doesn't have proof that he wasn't inside the KOS line" argument isn't supposed to work. The burden of proof falls upon the killer in a situation. It would be the cop's fault if he wasn't recording/didn't take a screenshot of the person cracking/lockpicking. Also, the rules don't reflect what is enforced. There is NO rule saying that cops can't shoot evildoers. All we've got is staff making an arbitrary judgement that killing is inherently illegal(which, on the server, it is not). Civvies can counter and kill raiders. Cops can counter raiders, but have to arrest instead, according to staff; no rule states that! - I agree, depending on your definition of risk. What if the raider is in a door deep and it's literally impossible for the cop to arrest them? I think cops should be able to shoot first/ask questions later for raids, and primarily arrest for mugging/stealing(attempt to arrest unless you or another cop is shot first).

I asked specifically about this when I was told you can't shoot first. I was told, "the 'no illegal activities' rule includes killing." To me, it makes no sense as killing is not inherently illegal(see KOS signs and regular civilian counters). That's why I made this post.

Alright, so it'd always been the way of the Civil Protection life that if you see someone raiding, you blast 'em; if you see someone mugging, you blast 'em, Et cetera. Sometime between the time I was staff and when I started playing again recently, this changed. According to staff, the "You may not perform illegal activities" clause in the CP rules means you can't kill outright while countering illegal activities. Instead, you must arrest them. However, when you counter a raid on civilian(another class with a 'no illegal activities' clause), you get to use your bang sticks as much as you want! It would be awesome if we could get a rule added in the CP rule section that states you have to make an attempt to arrest an evildoer, and only if they shoot you may you use lethal force. Personally, I think it would make playing Civil Protection more fun if you could just blast people who are in the midst of a crime. I think it would fit the absurdity of the DarkRP genre much better than the current rule does. Let me lay out a situation: There's a thief raiding Johnny's gun shop. You, as a member of the Civil Protection, see that the thief is two fading doors into Johnny's defense and, because of the arrest-not-kill rule, are powerless to do anything while the thief ransacks Johnny's shop. Now Johnny is indebted to the mafia, as he can't pay off his loan. Now Johnny is going to get kneecapped and will have to do his business out of a wheelchair. How does that make you feel? Alright, I digress. The rule is a somewhat reasonable attempt to enforce arrests, but in my opinion it's impractical and not communicated well AT ALL. Seriously, cops on DarkRP can't kill raiders or muggers without them shooting first because of this rule. The resolution: Either make it clear that CP's are not allowed to shoot first in any situation, or let DarkRP be DarkRP.

It's fun with friends, dicking around on office

use the format

@Spooky sorry, I had to do it to 'em

use the format my guy

I mean, you kinda boned yourself by admitting that the activity that got you banned did happen on your account. You are responsible for all activity on your account, so... -1 considering you admitting to it.

Yeah, I've done the same a time or two when I was staff, but -1. Reasons have already been explained above.

clean

I'm one of the few that have been largely unaffected(mentally speaking) by quarantine, so I'm doing just fine. Thanks for making this thread, I know it's going to be important for a lot of people. Stay strong, GG gang
