It's dying because there's a developer that has no idea what the word "suggestion" means because everything that is suggested by the actual people that actually play the actual server is brushed off aside with personal opinion when they do not in fact play the actual server with the actual players

If there was some squeaker telling me "APD Hands up now or be downed" I could not take that seriously at all. I'm sorry.

Might not be much help to you but these are the things which got me to Tycoon.
Excavation: Excavation isn't the most profitable thing on Altis obviously, but it's a good building block for getting some money in your bank to start venturing off into more rick v. reward things. I'd recommend looking around the map for excavation spots with the small black dots. There's a few that, while it may take a bit longer to drive there, are near 100% safe to take all the time you want to at. I wouldn't recommend the bay south of Kavala or West of Sofia, as people often keep an eye on those if they're in the area to rob. There's a good spot between Kavala and Donor Rebel which I use, it conceals your truck well and I've never seen anyone there. In addition there's a spot on the Northwest area of Altis, just north of Castle which is a good spot if you don't mind the drive. Then when selling, I'd recommend storing in bins in your house and doing it in bulk after a few trips. Don't be in Scuba gear and a box truck either, it's a dead giveaway you're toting if you're driving around like that in a city. Scotch/Coke/Meth: After you get a decent chunk of change stored away in the bank from excavating, I would venture off into one of these three, personally Scotch is my favorite because of it's relative safety since less people do it and it's out of the way (less APD). Use some of that money you got to invest in some real estate so you can do these things faster. Keep buying real estate and honing your routine and you'll be making bank in no time. All of my houses are designed for Scotch and with little to no effort (one run of 1000 Scotch a week), one Abdera house for bulk storage, two sheds for storage and discreet vehicle pulling, three houses for aging barrels. Stay out of Kavala (even Athira sometimes): Nothing good comes out of these areas, go in to do your business but keep your stay limited. Lastly, I don't want to put this in bold because I don't recommend it solely for the money, but if you meet the requirements and put the time into learning the guidebook, joining the APD can be a steady form of income as well as a great RP experience. Doing it solely for the money is only gonna disappoint you, but if you haven't considered it, it'd be wise to.

medic makes REALLY good money i made 5000 in a day once

There are a few things to mention, but I'll get right to the biggest change: @bamf is, as of tonight, a co-owner of the community with me. Bamf will have the same authority and access as I do and we'll make decisions together going forward. So, congrats to Bamf on the ultimate promotion!
There are a few reasons for this change, and one of those is that we'd like to expand the team with code contributors from the community so that we can push out more features at a faster pace. Bamf's help in management will make that possible.
There are also going to be some significant structure changes to other parts of our team as well as policies for bans and how they're managed. You're going to get more information on that really soon, but our goal is to make things easier on the people who receive bans so long as they're not for serious causes.
So, congrats to Bamf! There are a lot of great changes coming. MAGA!

Really like the idea of this. Good luck!

Oh so close, love those Kavala walls though. Blind Berserker here didnt even have rebel training to detonate his own vest. @We Back
Good luck for next time!
Stupid audio bugs from windows recording mic twice.

This is beautiful, if only.
My bonfires would be the shit. 
@Gnashes Please, I beg of you.

Everything changed when fire nat.. I mean money cap was put in. 

We're lucky if officers can remember the five stackable charges. 

Should add more slots to medic so that there is a division between unwhitelisted and whitelsted. The unwhitelisted will have the basic gear that is provided at the moment, and whitelisted will have more perks and tools such as Hatchback Sports, quick heals/ revives, prestige systems and all that. The full whitelist requirement prevents the variety of options available to newcomers which I don't think the devs would appreciate. 

To keep both the people happy and paratus happy, i would check to see if you can have open slots for basic medics like the ones we have now, and whitelisted medics with more perks but under strict rules. 

if you add some sort of prestige system and level like the APD I think it might work, esp. for new people.

how else am i going to get my money? stop reporting them

If anything is to come from this thread, it should at least be the rank paycheck idea. Again like my point a month ago, the higher up in the chain of command you are in real life, the better the pay. 
Example: (every 5 minutes)
Cadets-> 150
Constables-> 350
Corporals-> 600
Sergeants-> 800-900
Lieutenants-> 1,000-1,200
*pay could vary 
 
 
Sergeants would be able to make back 1/3 of what they paid for their hunter in one hour of game time. Corporals could make a decent amount back for when they go UC and die. LTs could make more than enough to support them if they pull Striders/heavier weaponry/vehicles. 
 
Again, it's just an addition to an idea previously mentioned, but this is just giving a better visual example. I'm not sure if changing pay like that could happen, but I don't see what the problem would be, or what a counter argument to this would be besides, "it's a game, doesn't follow real life stuff."

I know these aren't the best kills but I thought this was nuts 
 

Happy Easter everyone! I wanted to make everyone's day a little better by releasing this amazing Montage! I'd also like to thank @Xehons for teaching me how to play.

I already do. A unanimous vote of one for lethals.
