Organized crime?

[Hideout2244]

Well, the talk was made before about organized crime and that it would be allowed if SOP's were wrote and followed as established. My question is, has anyone had enough? The reach is going far and wide, and I feel in reality at this point the FBI would be investigating and shutting it down. The number of murders etc.

I'm not demanding anything, I'm only trying to open dialogue so I can get a top down feel on how that is going! When the topic was first brought up about allowing it, I made my concerns known and was told I made it sound like it was going to be Columbia in the 70's! Well, welcome to Columbia.

My direct contact was not very much at first, but it is starting to spread and increase. I go to calls from cops for impounds, and after 5-10 minutes to get there following red lights there are still cops down. Does that happen in real life? Sure, every 10-15 minutes? Nope. Again, I know this sounds like a complaint but I am just airing my opinion, and asking for everyone elses. If I am alone here, then so be it. I'm alone in a lot of my thinking sometimes lol. As a Former Marine, old guy going back to school IRL using my post 9-11 GI Bill, I see and deal with people that makes it seem like I'm from another time.

I'll keep playing, but please give your open thoughts on the situation and how you feel it's going. I'd really like to hear from PD and EMS as they are the ones who deal with it every day and clean up after the mess.

**Edit** Upon further thought, I realize asking for top echelon to provide feedback in this manner is not very good. I think that might start trouble, and I am certainly not trying to do that. I said early in my post that my interactions personally are not all that often, but it just seemed that there was a lot of chaos when I pulled up to tow away the vehicles. So disregard the part of me asking for opinions**

Hey Steve,

No problem asking for feedback from us. That's what we are here for! Sorry for the delay, been pretty busy.

What I'm understanding from you is that you are experiencing a lot of crime in the server and it is causing a lack of serious roleplay in the server?

If so, I'd like to say that crime is a part of GTA as well as in real life. It just so happens that a lot of people choose this as their go-to thing to do. However, that doesn't mean that we are going to let it step in the way of having serious roleplay on the server. I know the cartel has an extremely well written standard operating procedure with lots of detail. They normally try to stay away from doing as much as possible but they are a crime organization so they will do crime. If there is ever an issue, I'm sure you could touch base with George and Ericka or even make a Dropbox voicing your concerns and we can look into it.

One of our goals moving forward after some events today is to really crack down on roleplay in the server. There are some groups of people who all they do is down cops non-stop or do bank robberies, so on, so forth. We will start talking with these individuals should it arise that they are causing a problem. The best thing I recommend is that if you or anyone else for that matter observes someone being dumb on the server, put in a ban request or even a dropbox for us to look into it. In regards to the robberies, Don will hopefully be working on a new system that will bring a legitimate timer so people aren't robbing banks and stores every five minutes and there will hopefully be only one robbery at a time.

Overall, crime is part of the server and the cops should know that it is what they signed up for. But there are times when people start doing too much and I am working to make it to where we touch base with them more often. But keep in mind we can't do anything if we don't know about them.

If you want further elaboration on something or have any other questions, feel free to let me know here!

Nah that’s a perfect response. I don’t even know who is exactly in the cartel so if I made it sound like I was blaming the cartel fully then my words did not come out right. In fact, the hour or so of violent non sense I experienced at the shop yesterday afternoon I know was not the cartel.

Thank you for your response. I’ll act accordingly and just report certain players here or in drop box.
