I don’t see your point, but my dog sure is cute 🙂 

Like this to dislike this thread

Few Questions:
I. Why would only CPL+ patrol this? It sounds like any other drug field. The only reason uranium has that rule is because Constables and Cadets don't have access to the proper equipment to patrol it safely.
II. Why would tobacco be illegal? I get the whole 'Cuban Embargo' thing, but this is Altis, so why not just make it a legal money making method? I'd rather have new legal ways to make money than illegal.
III. Why an $8,500 bounty? That would make it the 3rd highest priced charge for possession behind Meth, Uranium, and Dog/Turtle Meat. There's no reason why tobacco, if it were illegal (Which again sounds ridiculous) should give a bounty higher than marijuana, heroin, PCP, cocaine, liquor, explosives, and illegal firearms. If anything, it should be one of the smallest if at all.
IV. Why on a secluded island requiring a boat? It doesn't make much sense in my eyes to make it something that needs to be done in a boat. Just put it up in the north west and give people a reason to go there for a change besides liquor.
V. If its going to be in a boat from the island east of Therisa, why process in Stavros? Who would want to take a boat that far for a small time paycheck?
VI. 300 space in the boats? I would literally never do tobacco with that much space. I would just go do sea turtles if I could hold that much. It pays way better, and has historically (For me at least) been a safe and profitable source of income even with just 200 storage.
 
That's all for now, but I'm sure I could take time to nitpick more but I can't be bothered atm.

Gonna lock this 'cause holy shit. Thanks for your inputs. If you got problems with certain cops, report it to the proper higher-ups. 

Wait what? Hunters are intended to be a BH vehicle to allow people to better retrieve their bounties. They were never added to be a legal armored vehicle to be used in robberies, hq attacks, or general mayhem. We have asked the community for their input and ideas. These changes were not just made up in my head. There have been countless civs and cops asking for these changes. Some were denied and some were granted. Although you don't see a public post made by someone with these concerns, it doesn't mean that they are not being brought up. Next time you want to second guess if I am listing to people, you better make sure you have your facts straight. I don't mind someone challenging what we are doing. But its irritating when you spew what you believe are facts with your limited information. Put yourself in my shoes for a moment, and realise that balance decisions are hard as someone is always going to be upset. Years and years ago, the players were lucky if something was actually balanced. Now is not the time to be asleep at the wheel and just let things ride out. If you don't agree, my apologies as it's not my intention to ruin anyone's time. But I strongly encourage you and anyone else to put your money where your mouth is and become a part of the process. Apply to Jesse's position he posted about yesterday. 

Maybe if 20 people werent fighting 5 cops during the whole night, it wouldnt be an issue ?

The big problem is that none of us play the game like a normal player. In some capacity we all have it easy. I might think things are cool or too easy too hard etc.  But really it's the players that are here day in and day out. We are not relying on it, but the feedback and ideas from the people playing is best. I went back to page 143 in suggestions thread to just look at previously brought up ideas. Talk about a blast from the past...

Move pyrgos drug dealer to the other side of the barracks building so people stop trying to lawyer me in appeals “what do you mean he was right next to the drug dealer”
 
Dude was driving down the MSR 😕

Undercover boats for cops pls. I need to make my role play navy.

We at Asylum are excited to announce the expansion of the community into other games.
While this thread has a poll for Minecraft we are also looking into Rust and will have a separate thread for community feedback on that at a later date. We are also still looking at other games to branch into and open to suggestions.
One of the more popular choices on the previous thread asking for input was Minecraft. As we are in the very early planning stages we wanted community feedback on where our attention should be focused. What type of minecraft servers do you enjoy playing on or want to see? You can select several as currently we plan to have a single hub that will take you to multiple worlds. If there is a game mode that isn't listed that you would like to see please let us know in the comments.

Effective Immediately
 
Federal Reserve
Any civilian or vehicle seen inside the federal reserve can be searched.  Demo charges will now fall under possession of explosives.  If the APD gains control over a vehicle involved in the robbery for three minutes the vehicle may be searched and seized. Control is defined as no rebel fighters in the immediate area of the vehicle. At 5 minutes to restart officers may search and seize vehicles involved once control of the vehicle is gained. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact a Captain.
 
 

I got bored and decided to make this.
The following events were recorded on April 18th and took place within 30 mins of each other.
 
 

Figured before V2 I wanted to get a bunch of clips I've had lying around processed up. It's a mix of moments I thought cinematic and good shots. Enjoy!
Any feedback would be cool. Taught myself how to use DaVinci resolve and made this in about 2.5 hours.
Get dusted. (stay cringey)

ASYLUMS MOST WANTED CRIMINAL
The APD have captured Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal. He is being detained at one of the APD's Processing Facilities. During in-processing the phone lines go down. The APD need to contact higher authorities to seek further guidance on his charges and sentencing. They know that other criminals of Asylum want his bounty so they can turn him in for a reward at prison.
Scenario/Events: Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal is being held at an APD Processing Facility. The APD are heavily barricaded and armored. They need to contact higher authorities but their phone lines are down. Attempt to secure him from the APD before the phone lines are repaired. Asylum's most wanted criminal cannot be sent to jail if Rebels are within the compound. Reinforcements cannot be called with Rebels in the compound. Once Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal is secured you will have to turn him in at the laptop in the Prison Barracks. Beware of removing him from the compound without a plan because his ankle bracelet will notify the APD of his escape and they will immediately send all available reinforcements. If the rebels of Asylum cannot secure him from the APD then he will be sent to Prison. If you break him out of prison he will take you to his gang headquarters and reward you for his rescue from prison. If a prison has been done and cannot be initiated a timer will be started once rebels have gained custody of the Prison Compound to simulate a prison.
 
RULES  (PLEASE READ ALL THE FACTIONS):
COPS:
May down/lethal anyone approaching the APD Processing Facility. Must remain inside the APD Processing Facility at all times when Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal is in APD custody. If Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal is secured by rebels and escorted outside of the Processing Facility the APD must attempt to regain custody at all costs. APD officers no longer have a life limit rule after he is removed from the Processing facility. Rebels still attacking the Processing Facility are of no interest to the APD. Responsible for tracking own lives. If you are caught abusing your given lives at the Processing Facility you will be banned accordingly. Cops that die and are returning to the Processing Facility shall not stop outside to engage attackers. They must make a significant effort to return to the cop ranks before engaging attackers. Officers can shoot once you reach a gate. CIVS:
Must initiate on all players besides the APD that are attacking the APD Processing Facility or the people in direct custody/general vicinity of Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal. If you are in custody/general vicinity of Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal you are considered a threat and will not need to be initiated on. No explosives are to be used on armored APD vehicles. Server rules not altered by this post are still being enforced. Bank/Federal Reserve/Evidence Lockup are not allowed during the event. (Don't test this) MEDICS:
Continue on as normal.  
HOW TO WIN EVENT  (EACH BULLET IS A WAY TO WIN):
COPS:
Prevent rebels from securing Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal and send him to jail. Prevent them from breaking him out of Prison. CIVS:
Secure Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal from the APD and deliver him to the laptop in the Prison Barracks. Break Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal out of Prison if the APD are able to hold out and send him. MEDICS:
You cannot win the event. Get some revives in.  
REWARDS  (DEPENDENT ON OUTCOME):
COPS: 
You will find the delivery truck of Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal. Seizing its contents will help improve the quality of life for the APD. (Scaled per how many cops are on) CIVS:
DELIVERING HIM TO PRISON: Your gang will be given cash from Asylum's Prison Keeper (Scaled to how many civs are in the winning group) RESCUING HIM FROM PRISON: You will be taken to Asylum's Most Wanted Criminal's gang headquarters and given the keys to his delivery truck. Its contents will make you rich. You must be within the prison compound/very immediate vicinity to get a reward if the Prison Break is successful. (Scaled to how many civs are in the winning group) MEDICS:
No rewards. Get some revives in.  
ASYLUMS MOST WANTED CRIMINAL INFORMATION:
He will not be able to be downed/killed. (If you walk up to him and ask him to follow you he will but you must be directly next to him.) His location will be marked constantly on your map. He will be located in the APD Processing Facility at the start of the event. If he is ever left alone he will attempt to flee at all costs. If he happens to gain custody of a vehicle it must be disabled in order to stop him. He cannot be loaded into a helicopter. He must not be restrained. Most recent mugshot:            
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This is a trial event. I will tweak and try to make it better each time. Participation is not required. Don't complain if you lose something by participating. No event is ever fully fair. Nobody cares if you cry about it. If you lose something from a server violation or a violation of one of the rules stated above then submit a support ticket. Do not complain in game about it. If you do repeatedly you will just be banned and you can come talk about it at a later date. If you actually have feedback that is useful then message Rogue on discord. If you spam dumb information there you will be banned.  
 
 
 
 
 

What is role play?
Role-playing is the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role.
So what's your point?
Over time, the role play quality of on-duty officers has gone down.
The APD
The APD is the backbone of role play on Asylum's Altis Life. All officers on duty (and preferably off duty) are expected to uphold a higher level of quality in how they act while playing on Asylum. The blufor faction (Cop, APD) is whitelisted, which means it is a privilege and not a right to be able to play on it.
Somewhere down the line, role play made its way to the back seat and became more about making money and shooting guns. While that's all good and fun, role play while on duty needs to be at the forefront at all times.
The APD is not a gang. Good aim and combat awareness is definitely a plus, but is never required and is never put above your ability to talk to people.
The issues
There are lots of issues that have crept up over time, including but not limited to:
Full, or near full tickets for well thought out role play (explaining charges, etc) Poor treatment of civilians who put effort into their character Shooting before talking (APD hands up... bang bang bang) Bleeping sirens to initiate and shoot as soon as possible While technically these aren't necessarily against any APD policy (barring severe circumstances), they are definitely frowned upon.
The solution(s)
There's no easy solution.
To start off, and effective immediately, any lack of role play or failure to role play will be dealt with harshly by our APD staff. This will require everyone's help to report this behaviour. We need video evidence. We cannot act based off of word of mouth.
If you are unable to talk to people respectfully with no bias, the APD is not for you. This goes for all ranks.
Civilian role play
Asylum is a light role play server. Civilians are not required to role play, but when civilians do role play, or put effort into it, they should be rewarded. If role play is rewarded, they will be more likely to put more effort into it again in the future.
If the cops do not role play, there is a chain reaction that happens.
Civilian gets into a situation with an APD officer Civilian attempts to role play APD officer is a generic brick wall (issues full, or close to full ticket, or is almost like a robot) Civilian sees that the effort he/she put in didn't pay off Civilian sees no point in role playing in the future Next APD officer interaction, the civilian isn't role playing because role playing doesn't pay off Even if a civilian is not role playing, there is no excuse in not trying to get something out of the civilian.
Questions or concerns?
Feel free to post below.

Definitely agree. When you're being an awesome sport and a Captain decides you should keep your illegal hunting rifle because it's one that your great grandfather passed down to you, which also has your family's name etched into it, they should be blacklisted for corruption. That shouldn't be allowed.
When you're being an incessant little bitch to the cops for hours at a time for the sake of just being an incessant little bitch (not even to role play), they shouldn't have the ability to throw your ass in jail.

That's the goal. If you see any form of lack of role play or robocopping, please do report it. It really does help. Word of mouth isn't going to help.

In celebration of V2 release week beginning tomorrow, I thought I'd drop a little side project I have been working on. Just a couple random clips compiled from @DankBud and I.
Not my 100% best, but I thought it was the best time to release it. Been super busy this summer with work and other loads of crap. Look forward to the release and subsiquent influx in player population in the coming month!
