https://imgur.com/a/npqGf I'm owner again now. TheDD is now officially opened and can now receive applications and also will seek out members ingame

Nov 5th update Rank issue is still not fixed. I'm still member for some reason after map update so I can't invite or spend talent points. Because of that the gang will be temporarily closed until Sugar fixes the issue.

Whats the name of your gang?

Nov 1st update TheDD is now level 20, that means PD commander is now unlocked, plus shittons of other perks that is going to be added into the Perks and Benefits sections. Just 5 levels more until TheDD is the same level as it is in March 2017 again. Also expects the gang to be open soon

Okay fuck. Sugar wont import ant gangs so we have to start from 0. Kind of a bummer but itll have to do. Okay so due to recent news, Bill and I are gonna be busting our ass farming for exp efficiently. So for now TheDD will be temporary closed as to get its level higher. Do not fret, Well make a return when our level is high enough. Pigergast out

OKAY YALL, GANGS UPDATES HERE TheDD progress is still not imported by Sugar yet, but hopefully he will transfer it. For now explore the various PD jobs and shit, and also the perk tree was confirmed. We're going to max out the cop tree and perks first, and then start from there.

Your suggestion is great Kalysta but I see a technical flaw in it. I will use a situation to describe it. Imagine you're a master thief, a highly sought class for anyone who doesn't have a cc. You got arrested and your job is changed to Inmate instead of being disarmed like normal. You got released and now somebody took up your slot. Yada yada you get pissed. This is just my two cent on your suggestion. I said it as a joke, but it could be in the game as-well if people actually RPed a little bit more with it. Anyway, yeah, I could see it being RP related and add something new, but what you said and how people truly play on the server, it would just never work. That's why I dded the part of "have to try to escape :p lol, no. im joking". But yeah, I could want to see it if people actually tried to rp more. I sympathise with you. Titsrp would be so much better if more rp elements are introduced. Right now I play as cop for my daily does of RP

Pigergast PS. You might wanna record like Garcon Said

Welp, that was quick. You guys are a thief gang and we already deal with you petty crooks all day so technically we've been at war since your creation :huh:. But I guess crooks will be crooks. TheDD won't back down and we'd gladly fight you so that our fellow citizens live in safety.

9/26/2017 update Gang relations policy added Cleaned up some statements and paragraphs.

For stuff like that you might wanna PM sugar instead of making a post. Its easier for you to contact him by doing that. Discord is also an option.

Big announcement here. I had a talk with Sugar about the gang system, and these are the things that I've learned that I think you guys might find informational. -Gang system is now no longer separated. Instead of cop or thief, there will now be perk tree. The idea is still being finalized, but from what sugar told me, gang owner will be able to specialize into roles(Cop, thief, etc) and make their gang more oriented to it's playstyle. This mean that, although TheDD will now be just a normal gang, we'll be invested into the Cop perk tree. However, if we do max the cop perk tree, we may diversify into other roles. -Staff Manager is gonna be a thing -Map and new jobs is gonna be released first and then later the gang system due to it being reworked Let us all hype for this wonderful content update.

Interesting idea. Maybe when it's done and informational enough, it could even be the official TheDD manual! Only time will tell.

Heyoo, police related news here. Just got this one off the changelog July 29th Changelog Cops who fine a player successfully get 50% of the fine amount, other 50% is distributed to the PD Fixed most events Fixed a printer battery glitch Possibly fixed a rare glitch where the printer would explode right after a failsafe was destroyed Fixed an issue where CC perms wouldn't save perma Removed the auto trial mod promotor This new fine system update should incentivize cops to roleplay as actual cops and fine people for crime if they aren't dangerous/armed instead of baton rush/straight up kill people for breaking laws

Updated leaving policies

Dat photoshopping skill.

^^ Tunnel snake is also good, IF IT REFERENCES A FALLOUT REFERENCE....... TUNNEL SNAKE RULES!

Xanderblitz The name just popped up in my head and IMO it suits you Edit: LuthKriegsler Also came out on top of my mind

I do recall sugar saying he has finished 18 out of the 23 features that the incoming major update will have though I'm not so sure now. Also about the gang thing disbanding, like Zareox said one part is because of disorganization. However, another part(in my opinion) is that these gangs have a lack of foundation(excluding Greyguard AKA TCM). These were created AFTER the gang feature was removed so technically they're not even a gang inside a server. Any gang that already was created before the gang update will appear in https://www.titsrp.com/gangs/ Also one final thing. The one thing I noticed a lot in the gangs you mention is the creation of a hierarchy of power that are quite complex. They're basically turning their gang into a mini version of MilitaryRP where people with higher rank 99% of the time have superiority complex and order you around, and that's not really a recipe for a good gang/organization is it? Ingame, the Gang system only have 3 ranks: Owner, Officers, and Members. Its simple. Now officers basically have the power to invite and kick people from the gang, but in my gang(I'm not gonna advertise since this is a discussion thread and not Gang Recruitment), Officers help the people out and ACTUALLY participate in RPing with its member by leading RP situation. So thats just my two cents on this matter.

https://i.imgur.com/qXkJfIF.jpg[/img] Started March 2017 Informational and Recruitment Info Welcome to the Official Informational and Recruitment Thread of TheDD. Here you can find all basic information about TheDD and how to become a member. Statistics Gang Level: 54 Status: Open Population: 134 Specialization: Cops Who are we? TheDD(DD stands for Diamond Dogs) is the server's top cop gang filled with passionate PD players who enjoy RPing as the authority of Downtown. We strive to promote good roleplay and just mostly having some casual fun RPing as cops. Why should you join us? We are the leading cop gang in the server with a competitive level and vast amount of resources. Our competitive level means many benefits and perks from the gang system for you to make use of during your time in TheDD. TheDD is also quite lax in terms of rules and code of conduct. We don't require you to be active to be in the gang(this might change if Sugar decides to limit the amount of people in a gang) and just require you to be civil and not break Titsrp's rule generally. By joining TheDD, you are joining an organized police force with the roleplaying goal of keeping Downtown in order, a police force that has the resources to expend and the experience to make sure each PD raid is a raid that fails, and a police force that, at the end of the day, wants everyone to have fun roleplaying as a cop. How does one apply? Interested CPs are recommended to join our discord( https://discord.gg/rZeJw6G) and apply in the "member_applications" channel for better respond time as most of our officers aren't active on forums and mostly on the Discord. If you don't have Discord, you can use the format below to apply on forum. Do note, we require ABSOLUTELY nothing to join us other than the spirit of roleplaying as PD and a teeny tiny drop of maturity. The information below is just for us to get to know what kind of person you are and you're 99% likely to get accepted if you put some effort on it. Basic Info In-Game Name: Steam Name: Steam ID/Profile: Hours on Gmod: Personal Info How often are you Active as CP? Are you interested in Police IRL? Why do you want to Join TheDD? How many hours can you be active per week? What other Groups/Gangs have you been in? Have you read and understand our policies? Scenarios 1. You are on Patrol and hear money printer sounds coming from nearby, what do you do and why? 2. You see a subject walking around with an illegal firearm in Public, what do you do and why? 3. You notice a CP helping a criminal/committing crimes, what do you do and why? 4. You find a subject who is suspected of murdering another citizen, what do you do and why? 5. You pass someone on the street and later find out that they have a bounty, what do you do and why? If you need assistance filling out an application form, please contact one of the officers to assist you with it. If you have medical problems such as dyslexia, we can do a verbal application to accommodate you. Disclaimer: While there are definitely very incorrect and very correct answers, they will be judged mostly on effort, not on how proper your exact knowledge of the topic is, so do your best. Also Titsrp is a primarily english speaker server and thus we generally don't accept apps that isn't in English. There may be exceptions however(For example: Difficulty speaking English but still is understandable) Our code of conduct Be Civil. TheDD isn't a place for you to flame around. Treat others with respect and try to resolve internal conflicts in a peaceful manner. In extreme cases, such as harassment and sharing personal information when you don't have a person's consent, expulsions may be delivered. Respect the server's rule Being in TheDD doesn't mean you're exempt from the server's rule. Follow it like you normally would. For Officers Follow the Punishment Policy! It is the most important thing that any officer must know and if you don't follow it, you will be demoted or even kicked from the gang, no question asked Don't abuse your power I can't stress this enough. DON'T ABUSE YOUR POWER!!!! This includes using your position as an Officer to threaten to kick a fellow member for malicious reasons(i.e you don't like him) Being an officer is about helping the gang, not being entitled to special treatment and think you're superior than everyone. You aren't. Report who you recruited or kicked in the membership_changes section of Discord Remember to list the name, date, reason if kicked. All kicks that are not reported in Discord in the same day of the kick will be deemed invalid and the kicked member will be reinvited if he wishes to Punishment Policy for Officers 1-Don't do the staff's job for them Officers are simply that, officers. They are not staff, they don't enforce the server rules, they are just there to invite and lead people in RP situation and also kick when really necessary. When a member broke a server's rule, PLEASE don't feel the need to add insult to injury and kick them out of the gang. They probably already got a slap on the wrist by staffs. People makes mistakes. That's what makes people, people. Remember that TheDD is a gang filled with people, and they will make mistakes that is either intentional or unintentional. 2-Only kick for serious offenses listed below -Continuous harassment of gangmates -Revealing personal information of gangmates without their permission -Serious rule breaking such as mass rdm, trying to crash the server, you get the idea -Permaed members -Recurring offenses after being warned multiple times -Other offenses that are not listed here that can be interpreted as serious Payment Policy(Operated by Officer Peanut Butter) Serving for TheDD is voluntary work, and you are not forced to be CP all the time. However we do try to encourage CP work by making it more diverse, engaging, and realistic. So, one way of doing that is that TheDD Operatives that participate in our programs and operations more frequently will be offered Bonus Payments based on Pay Periods for showing effort and engaging in these activities with us. Members will be given a $10,000 per hour salary each week if they participate in our optional #cp_sign-in_sign-out channel while they are active as CP. There is also a ranking system based around this system and those select few that prove their worth and reach Officer will recieve a Salary of undisclosed each at undisclosed times. Gang Relations Policy TheDD's view on gang relations is one of cooperation and peace. We strive to make new allies and our objective overall is to keep a stable Downtown. However, this doesn't mean that we're avoiding conflict. If problems escalates and can't be solved with diplomatic means, we're ready to be defend downtown to those that threatens the safety of the people. To request an alliance, one can simply PM me, reply to this thread or post on TheDD's Discord. Roster Director: -Pigergast Executive Officer: -Dimitri Kirnov AKA Mr. Peanut Butter Officers: -Not Bill Cosby -Madlykillbot -Mr Smiles -Cold Testicle -Genkki -Makoto -LtLarry -Kamala Gekkido -Bulvie Perks and Benefits Perks are the same throughout all gangs and can be checked ingame with !gangmenu, talents however are unique to each gangs. Our gang focuses on cop talents to give cops the most advantage against criminals Mascot of TheDD Policies about leaving TheDD TheDD has a lax attitude about leaving/resigning. You aren't "binded" to TheDD the moment you join it and you can leave whenever you feel like. You won't be exiled like what other gangs do and are free to return whenever you want. Of course, Officers who left TheDD and come back after a long period(1 month+) has to start over as a member(However, exceptions can be made in a case by base basis. Our discord link is https://discord.gg/rZeJw6G When you arrive there, ask for officers or higher to promote you to Member if you're a member and to Ally if you're an ally of TheDD

Tingle! Thats a name I haven'y heard in a while. But yes the problem of staff not taking sits is kind of rising. I was ex-tmod before resigning due to life changes and do notice that some staff(not saying any names) RP more than staff. Most of the time the problem aren't that noticeable due to there being good staff in the mix. However, once chaos starts and sits starts piling up staff usually show their true faces. The new influx of tmod(generalizing here, there are some actual good ones but in very little amount) do help a bit but not a lot due to the tendency of tmods to have the rank for the fame(again, not naming any names). So when the server is chaotic and there's only tmods, 99% of the time they're either gonna get overwhelmed or even not taking sits at all. So when the server's like that, if I were you I would just make it easier both on yourself and the tmods by just playing another game. This is just my opinion on this matter. Tingle was a tmod that was quite promising. However he got demoted due to fanboyism with lostinplace. A shame really

sure, we'll stay back... when you're all dead / in jail. Let me know when a cop actually inconvenienced me, I'll get back to you on that one. Oooh you will with TheDD, you'll see. We strive to protect PD from scummy criminals, even organized criminal like the LebBlancs.(This is an rp conversation, I don't actually hate you or despise you so please don't see this as a personal attack, just some fun roleplaying) Let me tell you the last time the CP unified against me, I broke them, I destroyed everything they had and I broke their will, now the CP dont touch me. Period. By "the CP" you mean unorganized police officers that lacks resources and number? We TheDD have taken down megabases many times, and no matter how reinforced your base is, we'll break through it, cause battering ram is a heavenly thing and even if you stack 10 walls together, they'll just fall down like pieces. Out of character here, I LOVE the rp relation we're creating right now. I'm really excited for when gang updates hits :D
