  1. Thats dumb because I have gotten negative rep for all kinds of BS. Although, I think there should be an unlock for low rep. Maybe a cool title, welcome message, or something.
  2. Hello Team I have been playing this server since 2016 ( check my bans, I have had a lot of fun), and I have no love for any other server than this one. It feels like home to me, as I am sure it does for a lot of you. I am sure you noticed that there are not as many players on nowadays, and not a lot of builds either. You only ever really see people basing, and bases are cool, but do not play any RP purpose for anyone who isn't raiding. Players play for the experience they have with other players. I am suggesting the following to make TITSRP great again. 1) Server name needs to change There are so many features unique to this server that you would never know until you play. I for one, LOVE THE BOUNTY BOARD. I have never played on a server where the COP job is as fun as it is here. There are also quests, perks, and the elephant in the room - ingame purchasable CC's and VIP. The bane of all garry's mod servers is that you have to pay to play any job that spawns with a gun. Why are we not advertising this over anything else? I have found only 1 other server ever to have in-game purchasable VIP and it was still like 100M. We need to change the server name to showcase this, tons of players will hop on just because of this fact. 2) We need more Jobs that encourage building Like I said in the paragraphs above, there are hardly any unique builds that aren't bases. The server looks lifeless without players building and its one of the fastest ways to get a new player to find something else. We need jobs that encourage the player to build something, anything, to make the server look alive. We need bars, clubs, libraries, coffee shops, weird baby doll dungeons, just anything that makes the server look lived in. As of now there are no incentives what so ever to spend time and create any cool bases. 3) Win-Back incentives / Loyalty Incentives / Refer a Friend I know we all look at our playtime and think "20 days ingame time? fucking noob" but to 90% of the real world population, that's a full time job and a half. We need to make it worth it for them to boot up their computer, open garry'smod and click on our server. There need's to be some sort of reward for continuous playing, and an incentive to come back to this server over others. Money is cool, but I know we could do better than that. 4) We need influencers One thing that a lot of other servers have over us is that if you check out twitch/YT Gaming on garry's mod, they usually have someone playing on their server. Even if their viewer count is like 100, that's still a FULL gmod server. We need to encourage those of us in the community to stream, and to stream our server. Give out some free goodies to encourage people to show off our server and we should see some new players hop in. I KNOW that we will have them hooked with our awesome features, but we need to get them in the door. 5) We need to look over our banned players and start offering a second chance At the end of the day, no matter how many times someone RDMs or NLRs, it's a video game. We should reach out to old bans and speak with them to see if they would like to come back on a probationary period to play with us. We have 17K topics in the ban and warn appeals section. If we could get .01% of those players back, we would be full every day. 6) We need to make it easier for newer players to raid, and not to be raided We have items that are unique to our servers where keypads/lockpicks are obsolete. We should give new players "nerfed" or "beginner" raiding tools or have classes spawn with some of these items to encourage newer players to try raiding. Also, we should have a 20-Min (ingame) timer on bases before they are raided. This is the only idea I could come up with to get veteran players to stop crushing new players. These newbies do not have the ADV Dupe crazy 1 way builds we have. They have a fading door and a keypad and that's it. Maybe we could give out free ADV-Dupe beginner builds for new players to help the curve. 7) We need more roleplay intensive jobs Jobs like Dat Boi and abomination do 1 function and even then you kinda just run around hitting people. We need more thought out jobs like Serial Killer/Mr. Bones where your imagination is the limit on what you can do and accomplish. We need jobs that require players to interact and maybe create new RP experiences that would encourage players to come back and play the job a totally different way the next day. TL;DR We need jobs that can be played more ways than one. 8 ) We should give new players a free custom CC The gang CC has 1 model and 2 Custom slots perfect for a new player. We should give newer players a very easy way to attain their first CC. Maybe not right away, but maybe something unlocks for them at level 25. I know the response will be "They have the new guy cc. The new guy CC has guns and no description. It's an RDMer class and that's it, you can't even change the model and you lose it after awhile. The point of giving these newer players a CC is for their own pride and accomplishment, as well as if we are too lazy to come up with cool jobs, maybe they can make them their selves. 9) We need more community meetings / events We need someone in discord to create meetings and events that gets vets and new players a sense of community with events and meetings. They will be low population at first, but over time this will have more of an impact on the community than any other topic listed here. We just need to stick with it and the fruits of this labor will come. 10) We ALL need to start being nicer. Take that new player basing with you. Go hang out in some dumb guys "house party". Maybe don't report that crossfire. Tell Jack Johnson and Terry that they aren't shitty players. We need to come together as a community and start making this a positive place to be. In the end, we are spending our FREE TIME away from jobs/family/responsibilites here and the last thing we need after a 16 hour shift is for some retard in an anime player model to harass us, call us names, then report us for something stupid. We have lost so many good players because we allow some 14 year old to get them banned for bullshit. If you give 2 shits about this server at all, I would like all of you to think that karma exists inside video games as much as it does in real life. Guys, I hope we can look at this list and take some things from it, or at least let this get your gears grinding in your mind about what we need to do as a community to get new players on, and make the vets have fun as well. I want to be able to play this server for many more years and if we do not encourage new players to play with us and become vets themselves, we will all logon to see "404 : server not found". It happened to my community I used to run (LevelUpGaming) and it can happen to this one. Please respond with any ideas you might have and let's work together for a brighter server.
  3. Radio Talk Show Host Player Model: Joe Rogan, Howard Stern Description: Spread Misinformation and interview people Items : Microphone, Talk-Radio This class would have to include a radio that could be purchased by players to where they could hear voice chat between players over a distance. As for current jobs, i think the variety is great. I definitely see where some jobs like "master stalker" is like the only viable choice. Normal stalker is pretty useless.
  4. Open Carrying American (Dale) Design: white dude with punisher shirt and jeans, with a MAGA hat. Mask on chin for added effect Items: Piss Swep, AR15 This class would be allowed to kill any player who kills another player(except PD), when he sees a death on screen, the target is highlighted red, and a voice clip plays of "I have been waiting to use this". Cannot raid
  5. Police dog can't sniff for drugs/illegal entities IIRC Would be a cool feature though. Would be an easy item add.
  6. You never really see cops raiding bases. It's difficult to establish an actual RP reason to inspect a base/warrant a player. Maybe if there was an item or class that could detect drugs/illegal entities in a base and alert the PD to this. Maybe give an option for the mayor to warrant the owner of the entities. You could nerf this use of it with a timer/"you can only use this against the same player every XX minutes cooldown". I think this could encourage the PD to stop camping downtown and explore the sewers/suburbs/industrial areas. Other than that, I think most players agree they like parts of the city that are built up with cool hangout bases or street art. Like when someone makes a cafe. I think there should be entity racks that let any player/specific class sell any item in their inventory. So players could create their own shops to sell items similar to the F4 menu marketplace. I think it would also have an impact on the economy. You would see more items for sale, and it would encourage players earlier on in their playtime in start crafting/collecting useful items and give them an opportunity to sell them in the open. (Trash shops would be cool) This would encourage players to build more shops, malls, galleries, etc. It could really encourage more roleplay areas and give players an excuse to build something other than a base hoarding printers/plots. The hotel is a building you rarely ever see used properly. I wish there could be some incentive to actually have a hotel room and make the hotel manager job worth while. The only things that come to mind would be tv players in the rooms, or letting the hotel manager make rooms have a special quality that would incentive customers. Maybe like buffs for staying in a room, or something. I'd like to see more jobs that encourage building. Gun shops are obsolete with guns stands, and restaurants.. let's be honest .. are useless. Most builds nowadays are made to make money, kidnap people, or a room with props to hangout. To spitball a few off the top of my head : Therapist, Talk show host (radios could be a thing), Bartender/Budtender (with alochol, pool, minigames), TV Reporter (camera that can broadcast to TVs), Animal Hunter (craft and sell items made from birds/pigs/minions/sharks etc.) Jobs like these encourage roleplay, would be fun, and encourage building new types of bases. At the end of the day, I just want more players to explore more of the map and have bases everywhere for all sorts of purposes. All the action happens downtown and that's to be expected, but it would be nice to walk to suburbs and actually see people living in the houses.
  7. Dont worry boss, im uploading video rn In this video it shows him running up to me and cuffing on the spot. No "Show you baton" or anything. it was arrest based SOLEY on the model. https://streamable.com/jasad
  8. Admins, Moderators, anyone who is any position on staff. We need some OBVIOUS CLEAR rules on certain jobs and classes. I find myself today in 3 different problems and all 3 different problems are not in the rules. However, i still got warned/banned for them. First one: I entered a public base and destroyed a radio playing Hannah Montana. I was killed by someone not on the doors/in party. I immediately returned and destroyed the radio again. Then I was killed by the owner. I was reported and warned for NLR. Second one: I entered PD to be shot from someone who was behind an invisible wall. PD is KOS at the time, and all of the other officers begin shooting me/(and missing) and i kill one of them before finally being taken out. I was reported and warned for RDM because the initial shot came from someone else that I couldnt see. In a roleplay sense however, i was defending myself from the group of people around me with guns out. Third one: I was inside PD as a mayors assassin, i was immediately arrested and sent to jail. I reported the RDA. The RDA'er said he arrested me because my texture model on my face wasnt like other CPs. I was banned for 5 days. What the fuck is going on in this server. Can we get some clear cut rules? anything?
