Suggestion

This will make taxes impossible to work. Once someone maxes taxes, they will be impeached.
Demotion feature was removed for being abused for similar reasons and I don't imagine it coming back, so I don't see this coming onto the server.

Loving these updates, fixes, and content
Excited to try Blind Guy, but most hyped about the performance boost. That's a pretty big optimization figure

make skins cheaper too (the ones that cost 5 mill or more are just ridiculous)
I get that it's supposed to be a money sink but most of this is borderline unused content
I would change my mind if the skin purchases were permanently unlocked or if prestige tokens etc. were used to unlock them.

I shouldn't have to explain the reasoning why I'd want to sit down while watching a movie, I've never watched a movie standing up once in my life except for maybe the time when I was tossing around a football at the Drive-in for Spiderman 2

Pros:- Mod experience
- Good playtime
- Has a referral
- 18+
Cons:
- Your paragraphs consist of very small sentences that don't really tell us much in the way of why we should choose you over other applicants.
- Your SteamID should be the SteamID, not URL. For reference, yours is STEAM_0:1:216577879
I don't think your paragraphs are as important as your actions. I would have given you a -1, but I have seen you on the last couple of days playing and you didn't retaliate or act negatively when you got killed by me so that's a plus as well. I will say if anyone brings anything to the table, my opinion may change: but for now I think you deserve a shot.

- Good paragraphs
- Good playtime
- Experience on staffing 5M (it's not much different here)
- You seem caring/helpful in game chat
- Above 18 (I consider this to be a huge plus)
I might not know you super well but what I've seen you're a respectable person, and the way your app is written leads me to believe I'm right. I hope to see you on the team!

why stop at 30? why not 40?
matter fact, why not 50?
well since its gonna be 50 might as well round it to an hour
if its gonna be an hour long we should probably just make it a year

maybe we can compromise on 48 hours

@ChrisRid I personally love that idea, but the issue is that in order for that to work, there would have to be a server reset twice every 24 hours (morning to become day map, evening to become night map).
I believe the current schedule is a server reset every two days. It’s set up like this to minimize interference with players who are grinding or online for a long period of time.
Have you experienced the Halloween map? The day/night cycle that was previously implemented was cool, but the only thing that it changed was how the sky looks.
If we used a night map, everything would look a little bit different. The lighting on the map would be affected, providing players with a different experience than they get with the daytime map. It’s a really cool change from the norm!This is sorta what I suggested last time, but I think the main reason it wasn't implemented was using a differently-named map wouldn't be peak conformity. New players that have the normal map might be a tad more hesitant to join Garnet knowing they will at a minimum need to download a map (this isn't really my reasoning, just what I was given whenever a map update is suggested).
I 100% fully support the idea of a night map every other day, just could see that not happening due to the map change. Probably why the day/night cycle was coded in, to provide a similar atmosphere at a cost of performance instead of map name.-

When I set up my prints and go outside my base to roleplay. I'm basically restricted to under 20 minutes before I have to return to my base.
Making the timer last longer would allow people to leave their bases for longer periods of time. Now that Keypads notify on deployable and raiding has been changed a bit, I think it wouldn't hurt to add 10 minutes to the timer. I doubt a 10 minute boost is enough to make everyone hide in their bases any more than they do and actually believe it would lead to more people leaving their bases for longer periods of time.

I also like to see that you're involved in internships as well as robotics. This alone shows you are able to dedicate your time wisely, and your paragraphs clearly summarize why you would make a great staff.

I'm going to have to say -1 for now.
Based on your experience as cop this morning: stabbing my alt and then coming back after you died to self-defense to arrest me (during the NLR timer), I don't feel you have a firm enough grasp on the rules at this time. I will say that being a staff requires you to know all of the rules at least to a reasonable extent, so I suggest you spend more time reading the rules as if you take a test and don't know them you'll not pass and need to reapply anyways.

Though I don't think they should be allowed to place keypads. I think the Mayor should be the only one allowed to do that personally.

WAA WAAA WAA I DONT WANT PD TO DO PD THINGS WAA WAA
1. Sorry but gmod darkrp isnt realistic. You automatically spawn with weapons. You spawn with money in your wallet. You can buy HP and armor from a fuckin vending machine. But it's insane when the PD knows how much you've made and can tax you. Just say you dont wanna be bothered when ur printer farming and you just want darkrp to be stale hehe2. anyone else got an issue with the income tax or is it just shank and straightwhitechristianmale? I wanna hear anyone else that has issues with it cuz if it's just those 2
3 Tax bill is based on how much you've made since you've connected. And you can only be billed once per hour. So if you want to evade. you don't have to defend your base for that logn
4 THE MAYOR DOES NOT GET TAXES, THE VAULT DOES
5 Mayor wont make money from taxes. 10% of the vault is distributed to all PD players every x amount of minutes
6 It's not policeRP but right now its NoReasonToRPAsPoliceRP
7 shit take i like being mayor and think this would be cool. It doesnt matter what I want if more people dont like this idea it wont be added. Rn its just u and the other guy im waiting for more opinions
1. Telling me the Roleplaying Game we're playing exists within a videogame and isn't a realism simulator isn't a good enough strawman argument to provide any reasoning why all illegal income is reported to the Mayor. If you try to tell me that in real life, 100% of illegal income is always reported then you're just flat-out wrong.
QuoteJust say you dont wanna be bothered when ur printer farming and you just want darkrp to be stale hehe
I literally said that, maybe not word-for-word, but yes: I plainly stated I don't want to be a target just because I decide to farm printers. It's not a vanilla experience to have the cops farming printer farmers, and it will lead to me just not wanting to farm printers anymore. That's fine - I don't really need to farm printers. But I don't think the cops earned any of that money and I don't think they should be entitled to any of it, how many times do I have to repeat myself for you to listen?
Rewriting what I'm saying and saying WAA WAAA WAA isn't helping your argument either, it just shows how you handle criticism and that you truly don't want to discuss the pros and cons of this. If you're going to act like we're children on the playground, that's how I'm going to view your argument.
2. There's actually
threefour of us, so far, among the people on the forum. You seemed to delete or get rid of your old post, with other people -1 on it, and you made this thread 16 hours ago... you might need to be patient my man, it's not like the entire community checks the forums every single day. You're being rather facetious if you think this is everyone.3. So I can just put my income onto an alt/clanmate? Sounds easy enough to launder then.
4. Mayor doesn't receive the PD profits? That's probably for the best.
5. Excluding Mayor, yes?
6. There's reasons to RP as a police, but if you're trying to amass loads of money then roleplaying as a cop is probably not your first bet. Just because criminals make more money than law-abiding cops (which makes sense to me) doesn't mean that cops should be extorting criminals. Does reasons = money? Because I roleplay for fun, the same reason I play Dungeons and Dragons, the same reason I go drug dealer and spend millions on drugs to trick people into taking them and listening to their reactions, the same reason I play Fallout 4. Am I earning money doing any of those things? No - but that's not the only purpose of a roleplaying game.
7. Like I said, there's not just two of us. Sure, only
threefour of us have commented within the 16 hour time, but that doesn't mean our opinions don't matter. But sure, keep acting like nothing I say holds any weight or importance, picking apart my argument and only focusing on what's easiest for you to criticize. Since you skipped over the most important part of my last post, I guess I'll put it here again in case you accidentally deleted this whole paragraph out of my quote instead of just ignoring it:QuoteThe mayor already has the strongest base in the server with the largest allowed defense force and the ability to force lock the doors mid-raid with the lockdown button (seriously overpowered and abuseable) so I don't think it makes sense from a roleplay perspective or a balance perspective to also give a class that's able to make millions more than virtually any normal player every couple of minutes (off lottery alone) that they should also have the strongest raid force in the server that has the ability to blast past walls, ignore party restrictions, and be specifically targeted at anyone the mayor chooses.
Cops don't even have to abide by NLR rules. And you're telling me "just kill him" how headass of a suggestion is that? Balance is totally fucked here, and I wouldn't expect anyone who doesn't actually play DarkRP from a printing or raiding point of view to have true insight into how ridiculous it is to establish an invincible base with no party limit, no NLR, free guns, a highly-abuseable lockdown button, and then want to put illegal money in there with the expectation that it gets raided.

illegal money going untaxed irl is one of the main ways ppl get caught up what are u even talking about
I feel like yall just wanna printer farm for a few hours without being bothered. If thats the case kill the mayor or pay the $5k tax bill lol
Yes, I think probably more than half of the people who join a 'vanilla' DarkRP server don't want or expect the Mayor to profit from their crimes.
1 hour ago, Bizzy said:What do you mean no evidence? You get sent a tax bill, you choose to pay it or evade. If you evade thats tax evasion (if it wasnt obvious) and that's illegal. Thats enough evidence to warrant you. The mayor doesn't know you have printers, they just know you've had an increase in income that hasn't been taxed
(i swear if u say how do they know whats in my wallet im gonna lose my shit)
Is the tax bill based on income in a given time period? It's not very clear how this is supposed to operate... How much I've earned in the last hour? Ten minutes? Since my last bill?
If the mayor is able to set a 20% tax on Lottery, with high-population lotteries easily exceeding 1 million dollars (that's 200K every 30 seconds for the Mayor), and Tax all Printer income (I didn't see Job income mentioned, 'salary' is but we both know that's pennies), then we're easily looking at making this the most overpowered class in the game.The mayor already has the strongest base in the server with the largest allowed defense force and the ability to force lock the doors mid-raid with the lockdown button (seriously overpowered and abuseable) so I don't think it makes sense from a roleplay perspective or a balance perspective to also give a class that's able to make millions more than virtually any normal player every couple of minutes (off lottery alone) that they should also have the strongest raid force in the server that has the ability to blast past walls, ignore party restrictions, and be specifically targeted at anyone the mayor chooses.
Keep in mind this is not PoliceRP. It is supposed to be DarkRP Vanilla, or at least close to it. Every single day we stray further from the light of God...
If I played the mayor as much as you Bizzy, I too would want my class to be the best class in every single way imaginable with no downsides. However, for the players old and new, I think this idea smells terrible and should be restricted to legal income and lottery. I don't think the Lottery should be able to be taxed at such an extremely high rate either, but that's something people opt-in for and would easily make millions more than robbing criminals of their money and therefore implying that printing money(CRIME) is now encouraged since it actually profits the Mayor (CRIME LORD)
QuoteHi, this is the IRS. We're writing to inform you that we noticed you haven't paid the requisite government tax on your illegal income. Here is an itemized summary of the exact amount of illegal money you have learned, down to the penny. Of course, we aren't going to arrest you for your crimes.... if you cough up the dough. Don't make us come after you.

Also, there are legal ways to own printers (like through the bank) so taxing printer income makes sense
Yes, but illegal money has never been taxed. In real-life, ingame, etc., there is no actual logical reason why police would know about or have the ability to control illegal income.
My point is they shouldn't even know about it. It's illegally printed money.... is there some invisible gnome in my base that's snitching on all my illegal earnings? Are cops dirty enough they don't care that the majority of their funding will be crime?
If it would just WANT the player that doesn't sound overpowered. But to be able to individually target any person playing the game with a WARRANT and tear down their base with an army of cops, without any actual evidence besides the mayor's Godlike psychic abilities, sounds like an insane addition to the server. That does NOT sound like a server I would want to play on... I've played NaziRP that is more free than that.-

Here's how the income tax works (not lottery and salary):
- The mayor gets a list of players with income that has not been taxed from when the player first connected.
- The mayor can bill 1 player every 5 minutes
- The player receives a bill and can choose to pay it or evade
- If the player evades it, they are wanted and warranted.

Police shouldn't get the psychic ability to be aware of all printers on the server with the Mayor being able to claim illegally printed money in the first place. From a roleplay point-of-view, it makes little sense why cops who would normally need valid photo evidence of printers to warrant someone can get omniscient knowledge and the ability to target any player in the server every 5 minutes.
It might sound interesting but I personally know that if I am getting targeted and warranted because the Mayor is psychically aware of my printers and able to warrant me without evidence from across the map, that I would probably find another server to play on i.e. one with a bit more vanilla approach. As this suggestion stands I simply cannot support ascending our police force to have the mental acuity and awareness of literal Gods.
I could go further and explain why this wouldn't even work (what if my alt owns the whole base and I collect on my main?) but why not just create something that actually fits in with the roleplay? Or if we're going to make the PD into a psychic secret police made up of super people, we should add wizards and goblins too for the fantasy aspect.-

Only noobs base here anyways and it's never really a problem. One explosion blows up the whole base, making it the worst base on the map, but if people want to base here I don't see why not. Would make a great little gunshop hut or something too.
