Playing/Developing GTA 5 RP and playing a bunch of other games in general. Kinda miss the lax RP shit honestly GTA can be too serious sometimes

The server has my full support, even if I am cynical about the end result. I love this community too much to wish anything ill of it, and I really hope we can get off of life support soon.

I have always been more a fan of allowing the server to be played with as few restrictions as possible. If it bothered me that much and I really wanted to fight gang fort, in the off hours I would make it my mission to relentlessly ruin the experience for the bounty hunters. I can see why this is annoying to deal with, but bare in mind that doing so brings this a step closer to domination, and the idea of domination made the regular server significantly less populated long term because it's a constant fight which satisfies the experience people want to have. While this is merely my opinion, and something that is quite difficult to prove i stand by it. Don't forget that I too have also had my play time ruined by bounty hunters at rebel plenty of times so it's not like I don't feel the pain. +1 on the arson kit price increase. That should cost minimum 3x the cost of repairing the house.

ive been checking it out a little bit, not sure yet. Regardless, I genuinely hope it does well.

Hello everyone. 

Unfortunately i am bringing some terrible news to the community. 

One of Asylums Old long time members Minibagge unfourtunately passed away on Tuesday 21st of May, in a car accident.

For anyone who has been here for any period of time, you will more than likley have interacted with him. He has been in asylum for as long as i can remember. Way back a decade. 

On a personal note, Mini was a goofy lovable fuckin teddy bear that Drunk Squad was privileged to have had in our ranks. He was an absolute nerdy sweetheart. We had the pleasure of watching him and Leviathan start to fall in love and start their relationship that evolved to an engagement before he was suddenly taken away from her. 

He was a fully non toxic, down to earth stand up lad who brightened up our teamspeak daily. DS are feeling the hurt and i cannot imagine the hole that must be left in the lives of Levi and his family. Obviously sending nothing but love and thoughts their way. 

Nothing but love gents.

I would more or less agree with what your saying. The only flaw I see in your response is if you specifically look at the last 6 months or so of Asylums population, they definitely did not have the ability to have enough police. Now they without question should. If they don't it will be a failure on the part of the staff/ownership for not cultivating police presence. There is truth in the idea that having 15+ rebels against 5-6 is problematic. The solution is not having 5-6 cops. Asylums is ultimately balanced and fueled by having at least 10 cops on around the clock.

Azeh is back, we have a chance 

Where is the most idle in a single position statistic?

You and I were tempers only team players back in the day. Never forget

I was surprised that I found my self agreeing with the wipe being necessary, however if your post is serious is any capacity I suggest you dial back your thinking bro. Both sides need to be heard in this to the fullest extent to expose any potential flaws. I hear both sides of the argument and they both bring up decent points. As I said, I agree with the decision to wipe, however it's relatively easy to turn the "pro wipe" argument in to a fucking pin cushion. Saying something as simple as, "Asylum has been mismanaged for the past 1-3 years depending on how you look at it, and why would they do it correctly now?" This has very real merit. Or even, "Olympus has never had to wipe, and they were the ugly red headed step brother of Asylum for years."
While I'm not really attacking you, I'm trying to use your post as an example for people who genuinely believe this, as you obviously intended for it to be somewhat satirical. That being said, blind belief in an idea of any kind is always foolish. We have to have counter arguments to make the outcome that much better.

Being committed is one thing. Accepting the fact that there is a possibility of failure in the first few months is as far as I am concerned irresponsible. Not having a backup like not signing a prenup for marriage. At the end of the day it can't hurt to do it.

Keep a backup of the current (what would be old) server database so if needed it can be reverted if it is blatantly failing after a few months. Keeping that back up is a good fail safe. From what little I understand about databases, it can't be that hard to do or costly long term.
On the bright side I see light at the end of this if its executed with near perfection and maybe with some new solid content as icing on the cake.
