House Tax To minimize players holding onto houses without actually using them, we will be implementing a new tax system for houses. This system is intended to hold individuals more accountable that only log in to maintain possession of their houses, while having as minimal impact as possible on our active players. If you are finding it difficult to maintain your houses, it is recommended that you decrease the number of houses you own. Houses will still be removed after 30 Days of 0 activity regardless of tax payment (Unchanged) House Tax Scheme: After 10 days since your last house tax payment: You are able to pay the house tax. You can view and pay house tax using your phone -> Housing app. Day 31: House becomes overdue, you cannot use doors and inventory. Day 33: An extra 20% is charged per house. Day 35: House is put back on market. House Tax Prices The upkeep price of the house depends on: Playtime: Every 10 minutes, you get 10 minutes added to all of your owned houses at that time. The more you play the less you pay House type (1C, 2C, 3C, Garage, Shop, Shed). Total houses owned. Overdue or not Base upkeep cost (Per IRL Month, Per Building) Shed: $45,600 150k: $20,250 120k: $15,000 70k: $9,000 40k / Garage: $8,250 Playtime Discount/Penalty modifier chart: Visible Cartel Payouts Cartel payouts are now shown in one place on your gang bank statements.

@Mitch (IFRIT) Farm & RV Modification Centre After retiring from owner of Asylum, Mitch purchased a piece of land where he spends his days working tirelessly from sunrise to sunset. However, the soil on his property is in poor condition and doesn't yield many crops. As a result, he decided to pursue a more lucrative business by selling used tractors and modifying old RVs to cook and sell crank and moonshine. This conveniently located farm is close to the new Highway HQ allowing stranded citizens to get a new ride when those APD officers won't lend you a quad to get home.  Moved Sofia RV shop Small changes to Jewelry Emporium van locations to make them more defendable by civs. Gang Boat can be used after 10 minutes of winning it.

Event Description
 
Welcome to the May Community Event, this event will be base on capturing cartels!  Gangs will be competing against rival gangs to see who can get the most points.  We have heard your plea's for better rewards and looking back on previous events it was clear the amount of money and resources spent far outweighed the possible winnings, so we made sure to make it worthwhile this time around and for the rest of the community events!

Rules
 
- Cartels captured will award points to the gang who captures it, Oil Cartel and Wong's Triad will be worth 1 point, Arms Dealer and Drug Cartel will be worth 2 points, and the Cartel Capture Point event will be worth 4 points.
- If your gang owns a cartel, you are not allowed to have someone leave gang and make a new one just to down cap a small percentage for the original owners to capture it again for free points, this also applies to having friends in other gangs.
- People can sign their gang up with the link below, please only have 1 person from each gang sign up.  Sign ups will end on 5/5/2023 11:59 PM EST

When someone speaks, there should be something that shows that they are the one talking, right now the only way of knowing who is talking is if you know their voice or you see their mouth move ingame (can be hard when you are surrounded by a bunch of people and they have a mask on / they only talk for 2 seconds)
My suggestion is to either add a microphone above someones head when they talk, or change the color of their name when talking in direct chat

To give a response to this for now, we are internally discussing the matter explained and looking at the best option to resolve this issue.

Hmm i remember that a bit different.
Included a few more N words and trying to hide scripter money

This is mainly a coniuation for SRT getting better personal protect such as CSATS and Granite's that can be found here: 

The conversation's main focus led to this post being made and that adjustments needed to be made. The armor that we currently have is insufficient, with a simple one-bullet leg shot doing the average SRT enjoyer in. This does not help because most SRT members use 5.56mm and 6.5mm. The last comment mentioned on the previous thread stated, "Adding Granite B's/CSAT/Pilot coveralls for SRT has been an ongoing conversation for some time that we have yet to reach a consensus on." So let's end that debate here with a poll!
Other solutions have been voiced in TS and on the forums, so I'll start the list of what has been suggested thus far. As always, new input from everyone is greatly appreciated.
Allow SRT to have CSATS/Granite Bs as an additional payment option. Normally, each respawn will cost you 5k. Make it so that it is increased to 10K as an option to use extra protection to balance. (Personally, not a fan of this since an uncap is 20k already, and depending on the type of day you're having, it will be more of a loss than it's worth.) Allow SRT to UNLOCK CSATS/Granite B at around 50 kills. This way, you'll spawn with the usual SRT default gear and change it out later at the vendor with no additional cost. There are others that I'm clearly forgetting, but this is an excellent vehicle to work with regarding this conversation and possible solutions. I would also like to hear from a developer perspective as well so that I can get more of an understanding of the tech side of things. Thanks for reading if you did!

Fellow APD Officers and Trainers,
Due to the server becoming more populated we would like to try out best to keep it this way while also keeping a substantial amount of officers online we will be restricting training times to accommodate this.  After observing peak times of the server we have seen that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are the three days that have our peak amount of players.
Trainings will now only be hosted Monday through Thursday from here on out.
For anyone who needs trainings whether it be applying for Corporal or going for SWAT and cannot make a Monday through Thursday date, please talk to me or any APD Captain/Chief of Police and we will be happy to get your situation sorted out.  You can find any of us in TeamSpeak or message us on discord, @KingDerek#3275 @SandwichKREMIT#1234 @InnateInnate#2511 @Jr4life24Jr4life24#0545
Regards,

Added to Combat Log (CL):
You MAY log off if you have been restrained for more than 10 minutes
This DOES NOT include APD restraints
If you choose to fight back after your restraints break you are choosing to re-enter the situation and your timer resets.

 
   
Mental Asylum/Evidence Lockup/Jewelry vehicles:
Similar to shipping robbery minus the tracking on the map - rolling red zone, easy to distinguish due to color of the vehicle 


 
VDM Clarification.
Knowingly killing/downing spangled players caused by yourself or a group/gang member is VDM.
If the player was hit intentionally, and the shooter is in the same gang both are held responsible, 
If the player was hit intentionally, and the shooter is NOT in the same gang only the driver is held responsible.
If the hit was accidental, and the shooter is in the same gang the shooter is held responsible, 
If the hit was accidental, and the shooter is NOT in the same gang then no one is banned.

 
Multiple accounts.
The use of multiple accounts to knowingly benefit your other account while both logged into the server is strictly prohibited.
Examples but not limited to - Using one account to initiate while your other is set up in an advantageous posistion.
Having multiple accounts simultaneously running drugs or 1 collecting/processing and 1 defending.

 
Restraints
Restraints DO NOT extend initiation.
This means that if your group/gang member has been restrained, and it has been over 5 minutes since last initiation, you will need to re-initiate before killing the players holding them.
