  1. Unfortunately within the rules we couldn't make this happen. Part of the risk/reward of the entire gameplay on Asylum (and any game really). We cant exactly just allow vehicles to disappear with no chance at rewarding the people hunting for the vehicle. This situation is tough as a newer player (and a solo player) so youll have to weigh different options: 1) Meet some other people or join a gang 2) Only use less expensive vehicles when you're alone. (offroad or hatchback for instance. Lower risk and lower reward.) 3) You surrender to the people who initiated and HOPE that maybe theyll let you go. This is where developing RP dialogue could really come in handy. 4) RUN FOREST RUN (call the police and use them as a distraction so you can escape. Rebels love killing cops) As a primarily solo player I stick to option 2 and 3 for the most part and definitely abuse option 4 if things are FUBAR. If I get caught by a group I just try and RP for my life and belongings. Sometimes rebels just want the bounty and will kill you regardless. =(
  2. I actually like the guy because he made some suggestions and contributed to the actual discussion. Unlike you coming in here shitposting and not even doing a decent job at that. How about you try to contribute to a discussion or refrain from posting before I help you into the latter category.
  3. Lol Are you SERIOUS? I mean if you're going to contest his post then at least bring some substance to the table.
  4. Sucking up this hard is going to make you run out of oxygen. It is just not healthy. Come here I have a flashbang you dropped.
  5. Stop pls, I cant see my meth bar.
  6. I THINK HE MEANT ITS 2017 AND YEP THATS ABOUT ALL
  7. Nah I am an explosives expert.
  8. Yeah but vash has a point.
  9. Once someone surpasses a certain amount of bans within a set timeline we should probably just remove them perm as in PERM from the servers.
  10. Nope but just as low tier.
  11. It's a mystery to me.. Sorry for your loss, made me laugh though.
  12. In general NO car accidents are not in and of itself initiation. Now in the past there have been instances of a wanted player and a cop getting into a car accident at random. In this situation it really is unfair for both sides and we have had instances of the wanted player shooting the cop. I'd love to see the cop just let the wanted person go or cut them a bunch of slack. If the wanted person kills the cop then they PROBABLY won't be banned for it. HOWEVER this situation can cause some extremely toxic gameplay and if looks like people are trying to abuse this in any way then there will be consequences. This situation falls under the "dont be crappy to other players" clause.
  13. budbringer has me on speed dial, ill come unlock that shiz.

    How.

    Personally if I wanted to join a gang to fight cartels then I would go on cop and fight them. Fight the gang you want to join as a cop because they can get a feel for your skill and presence and also a judge of your character from the RP. This may not work with all gangs but respect from being a good challenge as a cop could go towards helping you out. Otherwise I would suggest joining a smaller gang or one with less stringent entrance requirements to gain some cartel experience (and once again fight the other gangs to get your name out there).
  15. Yep. Obviously not saying it would happen but the possibility is enough to advise everyone to think. Ultimately id love to see some stuff on asylum like a blackjack game and slots. Would be a fun addition. Ive seen it elsewhere so i know its possible
  16. Its concerning because someone could build trust until they break it. Its easy for me to hold 50k to build trust but as more players join and the pool grows i can pull out with free money at any time. Not saying itd happen for sure but people are scummy with money buying so its food for thought.
  17. Problem is it could be time consuming doing frequent payouts and buy ins from various people of different time zones/hours of the day. Know what im saying?
  18. Seems suspect. Lots of trust involved with people paying up and a lot of potential for people to just scam.
  19. 1st Section: This is where you aren't fully understanding the situation. Admins are volunteers who come in and out at differing times. They all have a life, family, FT job and other hobbies to attend to. Asylum is something we enjoy on the side as a hobby and being an admin is something we have chosen to spend extra time to contribute to. Once again you say there is more we can do without really reading what I sent to you. 1) You do not know the way things work behind the scenes. 2) You aren't presenting any actual ideas! =P 2nd: That makes absolutely no sense as this is a volunteer position. When I play in game I am a player and an admin when the situation calls for it. I play the game to get a break from my real life just like everyone else but I also have the ABILITY to maintain server health when opportunities present themselves. Sometimes admins just sit in game waiting to help people and responding to claims of RDM and players with other problems. Other times admins stop playing just to help deal with an issue. You can ask anyone who plays cop with me and they will confirm that I am doing admin stuff very often. What you are requesting is a personal admin to prevent anyone from doing you wrong. It just isn't possible or feasible and that is why the reporting system is in place. Yes you have to deal with someone breaking the rules but often times with sufficient evidence there will be delayed action taken on the rule breaker. It will always be like this unless you want to pay for a personal admin. Shit I would gladly follow you around! Your last paragraph isn't really showing the problem though. Within the confines of this game and without paid staff there isn't a much better way to do things. My only gripe is that repeat offenders get way too much slack when they should just be removed from the servers. The pool of admin applicants has been dismal for a long time so bringing on more admins just means we are accepting less quality which leads to further problems. Your description of bureaucracy effect is so off base with this discussion for the above reasons.
  20. 1st Paragraph: It is frustrating to hear people say this especially when they don't have a view of behind the scenes things that admins do for the servers. Granted not all situations require in depth investigation nor would they warrant it. Aside from that, there have been numerous times during my tenure where I had to spend a lot of free time to help resolve a particular issue. You're bold to say "not one admin has done more than say wheres your 5min video proof?" because you can't see behind the scenes! Admins DAILY VOLUNTEER free time to help keep the servers in a fun and healthy state within the confines of guidelines set up for us. The fact is I don't trust you nor any player when you say " I was RDMd and here is my 2minute video. Reasons: People lie all of the time to come out ahead or put others down; People are not fully understanding of the Asylum rules and the MANY situations that can unfold that require to look at the spirit of our rules and not just black and white words; People make mistakes. Don;t take this personally either, new players and veteran players alike fall in these categories. Some of my favorite people to play with wouldn't get me to ban someone on their word for the above reasons. So as a new player or an APD LT with a bunch of playtime, your word means the same thing to me in order to ensure the most balanced administrative action. 2nd paragraph: Well as admins we still play the game and want to have fun! Your description is something along the lines of a paid job which this is definitely not. As an admin AND a player I always strive to create positive experiences for everyone in game. This means I do my best t have stellar RP and I also will pull aside people who threaten the overall fun player experience. The standard for sufficient evidence is set to 5minutes because that is how long RP lasts. For my above mentioned reasons all player must meet these guidelines for the varying reasons (trust, understanding of rules, mistakes). I wasnt there when you were shot and the video tells an unbiased story for admins to review. I'm not going to ban someone based on your understanding of the rules because maybe you don't know the rules just like they may not. I cannot rely on your knowledge because I don't know how you think! =) 3rd paragraph: 7 to 10 is actually a solid number of actions within a playtime period. Sometimes this number fluctuates (people breaking rules isn't exactly always happening within sight of an admin or recording player). A ban has to be placed (this normally takes a few minutes) but then you have the appeal time. This is the more consuming part of putting bans in because it can vary so far and wide. You have first time offenders, you have the random excuses and lies, you sometimes have players who just needed a bump and made a bad decision, the repeat offenders need to be shaped and rerouted to follow the rules (this can be longer bans or an essay etc). The appeal process takes a lot of time because we need to hear each individual player out and figure out what went wrong. You are making it sound like we just put a ban in and move on to banning other players. The purpose is to help people understand the rules and to reform players who just make dumb decisions to try and get an edge or get back at others. The system is complex and I appreciate you taking the time to voice your concerns. It is easy to sit back and say "the system sucks" "this shit is broken" when you aren't involved in the process OR when you don't have ideas to contribute to fix it. Hopefully this explanation helped you understand our perspective a little bit more. At least you can't say you got the "too bad response" when raising your concerns. Have a good day/night.
