Leaked APD Footage of Sergeant @George abusing @Jwilly.

Can we replace @Deazy Johnson with another admin?

You think "Hands up" is initiation, it's not.
I think you should go read the server rules.

Only 1 FSA? 
Oh ye, its just suport role not admin

"Stop pulling out before I can finish!" - @Casey Anthony

Officer Name: Justin May PID:  76561198025181730
Officer Rank:CST
Pct: None
Description: Some of the BEST cop roleplay I've ever heard in my 2 1/2 years on these servers. I rarely recommend APD officers, but this guy is on a whole new level. If he sticks around, I see him going far.  

That has the potential to be amazing or lead to murder. Im willing to watch from a distance haha
 

You want to fix drugs? You want to fix the larger economy? It seems to me that there are two viable options. 
1) Remove the market system entirely. 
It was implemented in order to make people switch up their gameplay and break up the meta of doing one activity all day everyday while all other activities were completely ignored. In this respect the market has worked to some small extent, increasing the number of meta-viable vocations from 1-2 to 2-4. But this meager increase has only served to move people en masse from one activity to the next, rather than ushering different people into different activities simultaneously. Not only has the market failed to have its intended effect on gameplay diversification, it has actually caused problems. Most notably, inconsistency, bugs, frustration, hindrance to group play, and an all around devaluing of players' time and effort.
All of this to say, it has tipped the fun/grind ratio in the wrong direction without really adding value to the gameplay experience. So scrap it. 
2) Positive Scaling
If you are intent on having a market, allow it to function like a real market. Instead of solely penalizing a lack of scarcity, reward scarcity. Allow activities to scale positively when no one is doing them, allow them to scale a lot. Perhaps a 3 tiered system based on risk and legality. So for example if the whole server was running drugs and no one was doing diamonds, eventually diamonds would become so scarce that they were so valuable people would be highly incentivized to make a run. This would go a long way in achieving what the market initially set out to do, it would allow players to speculate on the markets with carefully timed buying and selling, it would assure players are able to make good money at any given time while allowing a variety of gameplay opportunities, and allows the market to reward trying new things, rather than simply penalizing you for having a routine. 
Specific amounts would have to be carefully tweaked to keep risk/reward metrics intact, but if it was done right it could go a long way in making the grind less painful. 
 
That's just my opinion of course. 
 
TL;DR: Fix issues by either removing market entirely or adding positive scaling. It's not adding much gameplay value at the moment, scrap it or improve it.
This idea is @Buckwalter,

fucking love it :D!
 

Wouldn't raw organs sell for more since they could be used in transplant surgeries or experimental Frankenstein's monster projects?  Or am I the only one who would do that?  

Put food in
Set time
Take food out
Eat

this would be fun :D!
 

this would be fun :D!
