I normally dont comment on suggestions But this kind of comment is kind of annoying as a Director You basically just said YA i see issues but im not gonna bring them up I dont see how people expect to have issues resolved or concerns answered if they dont bring it up to high staff or high command,

Let me start off by saying, Piff I genuinely appreciate the effort and time you put into making this suggestion. But, this suggestion as a whole confuses me. It seems people aren't quite understanding what message you're trying to convey. So with that in mind I'd recommend you void the suggestion for now before it becomes a debate and or meme. That way you can re-post the suggestion at a future date to ensure you have everything written correctly and to make it easier for people to follow along.

-1 The server isn't SeriousRP at all. It's just Roleplay. This has been said by Management at a community meeting. Put simply, people don't know how to act under the label of Semi-Serious. If it's SeriousRP, there's no fun allowed, people get arrested for breathing, etc. If it's Semi-Serious, everyone uses that as an excuse to minge and be obnoxious pricks at every turn. Some may describe just labeling as Roleplay as "middle of the road", but I see it as dodging the issue altogether. People are allowed to have fun and get serious. It's made with the expectation that the community will use common sense rather than throwing it out the window. If anyone gets arrested for FailRP, and it's legitimate, then it's not the fault of the server's label. It's fault of the arrestee for being dumb and trying too hard to be funny in front of their group of cackling hyena highschoolers that like to screech like chimps in the TS for validation. also this has been suggested back and forth so many times, pretty sure more than three? correct me if I'm wrong on that. but if that's the case, this is probs gonna be auto-denied unless you got it waived through management.

reply to this if youre gay

-1 you have been banned around 7 times now, its been a week since you got banned. You have clearly shown us before that you don't learn your lesson.

I said later cause I was going to work and was responding on my phone, as well I DMed you on discord prior to making this and got no response

Changing to a -1 after I read more comments and saw some more reasons, sorry man but you can’t undo the past.

Bro what

-1 and here is why; I don’t think you actually understand your position. “Bad and toxics experience” That is driven by the player base, not by people who wish to be serious. Again you can be “serious” in a funny situation. Serious does not mean following the rules to the greatest of the extent. As I’ve said expressed numerous times it should always be roleplay over rule-play. This can occur in a VERY serious environment. There seems to be this weird disconnect what serious and semi-serious means. Serious would entail you’re actually a character, knowing what your character is and how to handle a situation. Semi-serious reverts the server to a more casual social gathering game where people would rather PVP in a sim than actually being on the server for what it is, a roleplay server. Both can exist simultaneously and neither is worse than the other. The whole semi-serious vs serious rp across all gmod servers does just devolve into rue-play over role play, which sadly is needed due to the public nature of all if not most gmod servers since there is no vetting process. The only real way to break this mould is just don’t be bothered as much by “minges” since the harm they can do is press a button or shoot someone which is easily rectified with a kick or ban. They aren’t as scary or harmfull as played out to be. “This as well limits what goes on during the downtime” The only thing that limits what people can do on downtime is themselves. If you are uncreative and not sure what you can do on the server that relies on each individual. Shooting NPCs or PVP should not be the only reason people come onto the server if that were the case there are thousands of better games to do that on, including star wars ones, where you would get the same experience. If the counterpoint to this is “well I am here to roleplay” then this post wouldn’t exist with that complaint. Sure, gamemasters and staff should be more active in providing entertainments of sorts but this is another issue in its entirety and is not reliant on serious vs semi-serious. “passiveRP that’s mostly jokes or any just people chilling in a TS channel or in a certain part of the map because the amount of people saying you can’t do this won’t let them” Funny passive RP should be a thing, this I agree (funny is subjective though and not everything is funny for everyone but that is neither here nor there). As for the second point about just “chilling in a TS channel” as far as I am aware that is allowed? I don’t understand this as your point, were you told you weren’t allowed to hang in a channel? If so that person is dumb. As for being in locations where you are not “supposed to be” I agree with this as well. Locked areas are dumb and people take them too seriously. However, they are restricted for RP reasoning and should be handled in RP. If asked to leave you should leave or face RP consequences, however, if you refuse to go along with the RP you are impacting others in this regard and are hurting RP as a whole you should be forced out with an arrest because you have no intention to respect the rp of that area. In the instance you are referring too I do agree the CG or staff in this instance were being too strict as it was harming no one else (However, I would like to hear the other sides opinions from those involved in that situation). “it just splits people apart and it’s annoying for some players who have to deal with someone who doesn’t want to stop RPing and just do something out of the ordinary just cause they want it like that, and of course the rules and as well usually CG and TG and most staff will favor in the side that’s going against the person who’s just trying to have fun by doing something different.” “Who doesn’t want to stop rping” on an RP server? It’s like it is in the name *gasp*. If you want to stop roleplaying on a role play server then maybe not being on the server in that instance? You can still hang out with your friends in TS, but if you are not in the mood to RP then why be on? Isn’t the whole point of an RP server to roleplay? As for doing something out of the ordinary could you explain what you mean? This is too vague of a point and doesn’t tell me much except I get the inclination you wanted to "minge" and got told no. So explaining this more would be nice. “So with most people having that Serious Mindset, like I said before this causes issues during events because instead of playing and RPing during an event, people are too busy arguing with each other about something that is so small, that it will not make a single difference in the event,” This isn’t exclusive to the “Serious Mindset” either. These kinds of arguments happen because people value their “priorities” over situations too much and not willing to go with the flow. Of course, if you are being called out for doing dumbshit, don’t do dumbshit even if it’s “haha cooky and funny haha”. For example, if your solution to handling a hostage situation is to blow the building up because “it’ll be funny and fun” than yes, you will get chewed out and deservedly so. As for what you say about the current state of GM, I am 100% with you in that regard. I’d still prefer more dumb events than no events. Basically, your “suggestion” post would have been better off in another category because it is simply an “I am going to say it…” post but in the suggestion category. It’s a rambling rant about how you currently aren’t happy at the server because it isn’t tailored to you. If you wanted to make an actual suggestion, you should reread what you wrote and create a coherent thought and not a late night-early morning post of 'blah blah I am upset.'
