This update actually got me playing the server a bit. I know changing factions/maps every few months/years is annoying and kinda dumb, but servers like this tend to have a high turnover rate with players, so you have to appeal to different tastes all the time. Just the nature of the game, I suppose.

Ozzy is currently the only staff member capable of ever being manager. If you are looking for someone, I would suggest him. I'm sure under his guidance, MRP will do well. Additionally, we communicate well and get along, so any big issues that need to be addressed would easily flow between the three of us (Ozzy, Me, Garnet).

Here you are:

Garnet Gaming StarWarsRP Rules Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to read and abide by our server rules. Failure to do so may result in a punishment. It is also assumed that the player is able to exercise a reasonable amount of common sense. It is forbidden to loophole these rules. You will still be punished accordingly. Additionally, these rules are up to interpretation by staff and are subject to change. General Rules: Random Deathmatch: Do not shoot/damage players without proper reasoning. This also applies to vehicles and vehicle damage. You may not consensually RDM an individual. New Life Rule: Do not return to your location of death for 5 minutes, and/or use the info from your past life.(This mainly applies to events and meta-events. It will not be enforced too much in passive RP unless it becomes an issue) Disrespect in Out of Character (OOC) Chat: Out of character applies to both OOC chat and administrative situations. This also means no harassment. Do not target other players in any OOC platform that is related to Garnet Gaming. Doing so will result in appropriate punishment at the discretion of staff. FailRP: FailRP is the term applied to actions which are not realistic in a well roleplayed scenario or actions done outside the normalities and capabilities of a normal individual. Doing so will result in administrative action. (Ex. Running for Shock/CG, Not Following Officers Orders, etc) Vigilantism: If you are not a staff member and witness a player breaking the rules, do not intervene. Breaking the rules to stop a rule breaker (such as shooting somebody committing Mass RDM) is still breaking the rules and not allowed. Impersonationation: Do not change your name to copy somebody else’s.This will result in some form of administrative punishment and possible IC punishment. Chat Spamming: Do not send excessive messages within a short time frame (Ex. 5+ messages within 1 minute). Misuse the Report System: Do not use the /report system unless you have a legitimate issue with another player. Do not advertise other servers/communities or issue any DDoS threats(even in a joking manner). Doing so will result in a permanent ban. Misuse of chat: All /Comms, /Advert, and Radio chat is IN CHARACTER forms of communication. Abusing, or misusing these chat’s may result in IC or OOC punishment. Any form of Racism, sexism, ableism, etc. may result in a PERMANENT BAN depending on circumstances. It is not accepted in any GG server, especially SWRP. Use of third party software/Cheating is not allowed. Advertising/Selling cheat clients is strictly prohibited, joking about this will also result in a ban. Ban evasion is not allowed. (Alting to evade a ban/mute on another account) Threats to/publication of other players' information (DOX) is strictly prohibited and WILL result in a PERMANENT BAN! Threats/Attempts to access and/or disrupt server's/player's normal traffic is strictly prohibited. (DDoS) Baiting someone to do something that is against the rules is prohibited. You may not purposefully defibrillate the ANY EVENT CHARACTER’S unless the Gamemaster running the event gives permission Brotherhood Code: “Never shoot another brother”: Never raise a weapon at a fellow Clone, Clone Trooper, Jedi, or Naval Personnel. If someone is violating a claim or breaking rules, report them to Shock/CG and they will direct the report to an OOC (Out-of-Character) situation if needed. Battalion Rules: Claims: You may claim an area of the map as long as it is clear what you are claiming and it can be reasonably identified by other players. In addition, you may KOS/AOS said claimed area to those that are not in your faction or not authorized to be there. You should have the intruder arrested by Coruscant Guard if they are online. If none are online, you may KOS the individual. A faction has a claim until they unclaim it. Simulations may be done in the simulation room. Proper sims are done by gathering players who wish to participate, separating into teams, and doing /advert Sim start in chat once each team is ready. Make sure to claim the Simulation room before initiating sims to avoid confusion should a battalion need it for tryouts. As Non-VIP you may only be 1 battalion a single time. If you are VIP you may have 1 battalion life and 1 VIP life (Jedi and Clan Varada). A Staff/GM member is counted as a VIP and will follow the VIP rules. Self Promotion: Do not appoint yourself to a rank you have not earned. All promotions are logged. Doing so will result in a ban and/or removal of whitelists. Permission to Speak: PTS is a form of communication control used by your officers. When PTS is active, you may not speak without being granted permission to. You may be punished by arrest, demotion, or blacklist for violation of this. Second-In-Command appointments are up to the current Battalion leader, and are only open to Officers active within that faction, off of cooldown(s). A new Battalion leader may remove their Second-In-Command, without other reason than to select a candidate they find is better. Promotions: All promotions should have a valid reasoning to back the decision up. A minimum of 1 day is required for promotions for enlisted and a minimum of 1 week for officers. Longer cooldowns are encouraged to ensure proper rank achievement. Demotions: In order for a demotion to take place, you must have valid reasoning to demote, whether they be from in-character, or out-of-character. 3rd Party applications such as Snapchat images/PMs over Discord are not valid. Documents: The altering of the documents of your respective faction without permission/valid reasoning is strictly forbidden, and may be considered sabotage. Doing so will result in a 1-week ban and permanent blacklist from said faction Miscellaneous Rules: Powergaming/Event Forcing: Falsely calling an event you have no proper authorization to do, in an effort to run an event/roleplay scenario (Ex. Calling Order 66, Falsely Pressing the Base Alarm, Granting Takeoff clearance, Opening/Closing gates/cells without authorization, etc) is not allowed. During an event, participants must attempt to engage in roleplay (whether it is in the form of /me or voice/chat) before simply shooting your weapon (unless the situation calls for it Ex. droids NPCs are opening fire on you). This will mainly be heavily enforced when event characters are in use and there is an intended dialogue. Failure to adhere to this may result in a jail for the rest of the event and/or a blacklist from your current battalion, on top of any other potential administrative action. ERP (Erotic Roleplay) is strictly prohibited. Any level of this, including minor incidents, will be punished with a FailRP warn. All special items such as Flamethrowers, Jet Packs, Vehicles, and any explosive may only be used in reasonable RP situations and simulations. Abuse of these items will result in a removal of the whitelist that was abused and possible administrative punishment. Denial of Tryout: Officers of a given faction that are hosting tryouts hold every right to deny you from joining their faction - their reasoning may be based on anything from your in-game statistics (kill-death) as well as your attitude in 3rd party OOC networks. Sub-factions & Branches: You may not use /jobs in order to create your own faction, setting yourself apart from other people. The only factions you may join and be a part of are to be found on the F4 menu. In addition, you may not set your job to something that is FailRP. You may only change your job from what it originally is to a proper RP (roleplay) squad name for tryouts/events/missions Advert chat is an in-character chat used for official uses only (Officers using Advert to call tryouts or simulations) and should only be used by officers unless given permission. You may be punished both in-character (Communications Misuse) and/or Out-Of Character (False Advert/FailRP) for misuse of these chats Links in chat: Posting links that are not associated with the Garnet Gaming Forums and/or faction google documents in chat is strictly prohibited. Doing so will result in a warning for a non-GG link. [It is advised to post links in Private Messages, and avoid them in OOC chat] Abuse of handcuffs will result in a warning for Cuff Abuse. Rules are subject to change, all punishments are issued in the best interest of the community and may not be explicitly listed above.

I think the "jumpy combat" is what needs to be stopped, but I do agree that the stam system could be reworked so that you lose stamina more slowly and gain more when standing still.

That's how you get updates, bruv.

dArK rP dOeSnT gEt UpDaTeS Yo, the new map is really cool. Might make me play DRP more. I know Zoro is gonna love the new PD.

TL;DR: Chaharikar was a really nice map due desert being a more pleasing aesthetic than grass, map should have good functionality if anything (i.e. less rigid terrain, trees, etc..), set better framework for server (better gun stats and maybe even more/different gun options), and RP should come about from players themselves. I personally really enjoyed Chaharikar. The size of town was great (and if some players want that "urban" warfare feel, give it to them in an obj rather than a whole map). I also enjoyed original Taiga, which was pretty much a grass skin of Chaharikar and a few other objective changes IIRC. I just prefer the desert look, it's easier on the eyes IMO. That's also why I have been enjoying cscdesert recently. I just like desert theme, feels easier to look at. Siberia was also nice because snow looks good, but I do agree with Duel that one of my main issues with Siberia and the more recent maps is the excess of mountain/hilly terrain and trees. Despite being plain and bland, I think cscdesert does well combat wise because it has a healthy amount of "hills" that are straightforward and easy to comprehend, which is good for new players. I really just enjoyed the aesthetic of chaharikar and functionality of cscdesert. In terms of wars/RP, I think the framework of the server should be laid out and the RP will come about itself. Factions leaders/officers or even SGTs can create their own roleplay if they use their imagination, and Admin+ (since they can do "events" now) can enhance this RP. From my experience, even cscdesert had plenty of opportunity for player-driven RP, so anything beyond that mapping wise will be just fine. When it comes to the "framework" of the server, I think weapons need to be enjoyable/fair (in regards to stat changes and even adding/replacing the current weapons on the server. A lot of what Jackal suggested in his post would be nice to have and really just feel more enjoyable to use). As long as that is there and player speed is reduced/ redbull is removed, then I think we're already at a good start to having a balanced server where gun play is enjoyable for everyone and RP can be experienced by those who want it.

-SNIP-

Use something like this for a Toxic react. Deadass

Looks like you've made a lot of people vewi vewi angwy. Shits gonna be conducted operations to witch hunt retards or people they just don't like. Hey, maybe it will bolster forum activity. Apparently Toxicity = more content.

This update looks really good. Hopefully it gets the playerbase it deserves. I know players on MRP were told not to get on there, and I will reiterate this in the meeting, but for any non-staff, this goes for you as well: If you are an MRP main, you aren't restricted from getting on PRP. As long as most of your GarnetGaming time is spent on MRP, you're fine.

Drax resigned a while ago, so he's fine to hop on PoliceRP and main whatever gang he's gonna play on.

Nah it will still be good as an SMG, it might even still be able to do some damage medium range.

No he's not.
