Olivia

Sorry to hear about the state of the servers, but I'm glad you have good memories of Officer Olivia. : ) Part of me misses Asylum, but nostalgia has a way of rose tinting those memories. On top of that, I hear the servers have been worse off so I'm tempted to not come back and just keep my amazing memories (and ~2TB of videos lmao) as they are.

This works for me on Firefox and Chrome. I open the gyazo in a separate window, click the gyazo itself (not the URL or window) and drag into the text box. Actually just tried it on my Ubuntu machine and it didnt work lol, but I think that's because I'm using i3-wm. Oh well

@Brandon sorry to see you go, but it was nice having you on 3. Good luck in the future!

So did I. That also coincided with the brief period where it was an online 20 question exam to get Constable (instead of a ridealong) resulted in me knowing jack-shit when I got Constable. Seriously it was bad. I didn't know how to seize things from vehicles. I couldn't have told you the difference between an MK and a PDW. Couldn't have told you where Ephedra field was. I wouldn't wish that on any officer.

Sometimes I wish we could prohibit Cadets from going to Kavala. I think it would massively improve their knowledge and abilities as a cop. They'd actually have time to ask questions/learn and they'd have a better experience all around. But unfortunately this is a game and we can't force people to play a certain way (not to that extent.) The only things you'll learn in Kavala on 3 are life lessons about how people act on the internet.

I was just about to say, where in the GB does it say you can revoke their driver's license for 3 hit and runs? ; ) I don't remember exactly when that was removed but it was a while ago. Typically I would say always go by what's in the GB, but I know the GB was trimmed so that officer's can have more freedom. Therefore, seize their driver's license when you think it's right. 2nd count of reckless driving? Sure, seize it, seems like what a real officer would do. Suspect is RP'ing as driving drunk? Sure, seize it. And so on. Common sense. As for your idea, I like it. Seems like a cool way to add in RP and a fun sort of "mini-game." However, I imagine the coding could get difficult and could have lots of room for bugs for a feature that I'm not sure would be used that often. I seize driver's licenses very infrequently (maybe that's just me?) but I do like your creativity and how much thought you put into it.

Ahh man I really wish I had the time for a gang, I've always wished that. Work's been crazy recently and honestly I've been spending most of my free time playing Breath of the Wild lol. Best of luck to you guys though!!

Lmao, not sure I want (or need) context

It's 4 stackables, but 5 if you count the "bonus" stackable charge: Attempted Manslaughter (if they escape custody and go on another crime spree) On topic, the 10 codes have been suggested multiple times. It's a cool idea but unless everybody has them completely memorized, you'll add more confusion. "Hey I got a 10-98 here." "What's a 10-98?" "10-98 is murderous clown off his meds." "Oh okay, be right over." If you just say what you mean you'll cut that convo in half and save everyone time. I've heard some police departments IRL are even thinking of getting rid of the 10 codes because of the unnecessary complications they add.

Not sure if you were aware @Rock Hardick (since this was a change that happened after you left) but we do punish in internal affairs for lack of RP, inappropriate breaking of character etc.

Possibly controversial opinion incoming. I think that removing rules from the GB in order to make cop more lax and easy to play has been a very destructive decision for our force. It all originated because Paratus decided to play as cop once and was overwhelmed by the number of rules and felt he couldn't keep track of them all. Well of course that would happen, he's not involved in the APD at all. We shouldn't calibrate the APD for a quasi-absent dev who plays cop twice a year. If the APD rules were more strict, then the bad cops will get weeded out more easily. Players that tend to spend 98% of their time on rebel will have a harder time switching over to cop without more rigorously keeping up to date with the rules. The cops that are immature, vindictive, ignorant, or who abuse civilian rights, hold grudges, don't know the rules, and act unprofessional will get removed. Sure, setting the bar high might scare off or remove some officers, but I know that there are cops here that care, that deserve respect and that would work hard regardless. We might filter out a lot of officers, but I know that what we would be left with... is a really damn good batch of officers.

Lmao sorry about that haha... Hard R or not, you're fine.

Ahh whoops, at 0:21 you call me "dumb" not "stupid." My bad!

Wow. They literally called me a "stupid n-word" in this video and even I thought it was funny. It's a joke man, don't take it too seriously!

Guys lost your way on the trip back to Kavala? Btw it was pretty funny, we were all dead but just kept going with the briefing without hesitation lmao.

Haha that was all me. ...Sorry not sorry...? Didn't think four 7.62 rounds would actually make your house collapse hahaha.

At least you're not killing fresh spawns anymore

Ahh too late for that man, I already voted on your Corporal application. Oops

Since I know my version of the GB like the back of my hand I'll spare you the effort of looking there, but it definitely wasn't in my version. It's possible it was in the very first GB but that would have to be ~3 years ago or more. "Roleplaying as an officer" makes logical sense to be a charge. As for if the new charge is needed, I would argue that civilian's RP'ing as police/CIA/FBI/etc isn't really a problem and they should be free to RP as they like. Maybe a brand new fresh spawn would fall for it and think they're actually officers, but I haven't seen that be an issue ever.

This is a new personal record for me, in 24 hours I have either been featured in or inspired the creation of 4 different Asylum meme videos. Thank you for that honor. Also don't call me mom lmao

How dare you take our Lord Sojobo's name in vain and shame his holy works!! That video is a sacred document and it fucking rules. Also its over 2 years old so not my fault you havent seen it until now XD

Oh no I didn't take it like that at all. The video is really entertaining, well made and funny. : ) I also hope you don't take my initiative here as a personal attack on any individual or gang(s) in P3 Kavala. We've had several worrisome issues on our precinct recently and we believe that the Kavala environment (and the cops' relationships with Kavala) may be the cause of those issues. We're hoping this will make progress but we're certainly not sure of that. I'm open to other suggestions, but we care too much about our precinct to do nothing at all.

Many APD Staff wanted that number to be higher like you; some wanted $50k, some wanted $100k. After much deliberation, the Captains settled on $25k however. Perhaps it needs to be changed though. I could bring it up next staff meeting for you. As for the problem of "send a suspect to jail when an unrelated party attacks the HQ", I understand how frustrating that can be. However I want you guys to understand something. When we have a HVT and the HQ comes under attack, things move fast and get chaotic. It's difficult to figure out if the attackers are actually trying to rescue the HVT or not. By the time we can check the attacker's gang tags/affiliations, it's often too late. Sometimes they're not even in the same gang or group but the attackers are still trying to rescue the HVT. I've had HVT's that swear to me "Those guys aren't with me! They're not trying to rescue me!" but they're lying and I get killed. It's hard to always be so trusting. I just want you to understand that it can be difficult from the cop perspective when we need to decide to send to jail or not. Sometimes we make mistakes and I hope you understand that. Note the quote in my signature: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Sometimes cops fuck up, and if you can explain our actions with "That cop did something stupid", don't assume "That cop did something mean and spiteful." If we don't send the HVT to jail in time, we get domed, get called potatoes and are featured in the next hot montage on the forums. If we send the HVT to jail too early we get chastised for low RP or abuse. It's a difficult line to walk, we're doing our best and I hope you can be sympathetic.

If HVT is abused to the point where a cop sends someone to jail for no reason or when there is obviously no perceived threat at all, get video of it. Abuse to that extent will not be tolerated at all. Are your complaints with HVT that cops are too quick to send people to jail? (And, for example, may send a suspect to jail when an unrelated party attacks the HQ?) Because in that situation it can be very difficult to know if the HVT is about to be rescued or not and if you wait long enough to verify the attackers gang, it's sometimes too late. If you're more specific about your complaints I may be able to help more.

Hahaha this video is beautiful. Love you guys. : ) I had a blast last night btw. 5 hours, I died probably 20 times and I don't think I had my IR laser on once. All fun aside, you guys are more than welcome to let me know if you have real complaints. Last night I was conveniently killed while I was in the middle of explaining exactly why we are doing this, so hmu if you need a heart-to-heart. EDIT: Just saw the Helm's Deep video, omg I look so hot <3
