I've been playing off and on for about 3-4 years and hearing about the job protest got me thinking about possible city changes that could be implemented instead of crims complaining about the wages being deduced after a prison sentence and leaving the server... I think if they were NOT giving them their wages back they could implement more crim activities to compensate. (boosting cars with alarms/trackers, breaking-and-entering local houses for jewelry and whatnot etc, VIN scratching, robbing atms, and locals etc) I think this is a great opportunity to not fold on their demands but keep the city growing with more opportunity so people don't just get pissed from being told no and leave and for those who get arrested from breaking the law by criminal activity that don't want to continue a life of crime... maybe they are on a 4 day probation and have to take the pay cut and avoid crime until they're government probation on gov jobs is passed... I think this is a great opportunity to grow as a server and make more people want to be involved rather than just fold and go back a step. I want crims to make money but i think there are more jobs they could do that the server hasn't implimented yet that could make a huge difference. Just want to discuss this to avoid people leaving.

So I will openly state, I do not know if something like this already exists on the server and is hidden deep within the confines of RP that I have yet to experience. That disclaimer being stated, I thought something like an option to allow players another opportunity for criminal based RP would be an interesting take. This way it would allow for players to do something crime related that isn't necessarily related to robbing banks or making drugs. So I did my best to find a close copy of the mod used on the NoPixel server which has shown great success in the past. It allows for a criminals to sign up for a job as a group to steal a car and either deliver it to a randomly selected location or pay to get the vehicle vin scratched to keep or sell all depending on the contract. This could allow for criminals to sell vehicles, and allow for further roleplaying opportunities between police and criminals as well the potential of having an opportunity for criminals to sell thse vin scratched vehicles to the public which further creates roleplaying opportunities. Here is the mod: https://fivem-zone.com/product/bropixel-boosting-nopixel-boosting/ I do not know if it will work the the framework of the server but I thought I would post it none the less. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear your opinions.

Greetings everyone I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the forum. My nam s is James but most people will call me Hozzy. I'm a 26 year old guy who is quickly becoming addicted to role-playing and twitch streaming. I will be role-playing and streaming the character James kitalpha. A chaotic nuteral person. He doesn't mind crime but doesn't belive in out right murdering someone. I'm personally looking forward to see what this server has to offer me. If you have any tips for me feel free to share away.

To make things nice an easy I will state the idea, then my proposed way of going about it concept wise, and then why I am suggesting it. Controller Support Possibly make a command such as /control that temporarily disables the custom keybinds the server applies so while driving/flying controls are treated as regular GTA. As an EMS Pilot I use my controller to fly because flying with a keyboard isn't as fluid and leads to rough flights. The main issue is with 2.9 by moving engine to L the right trigger on the controller does both toggles the engine and ascends I did try the suggestion of using a keypad mapper but city binds overwrite it sometimes, also the flying is that of like a keyboard. Mobile illegal Locations As similar concept to the new illegal informant that moves based on the officer. Make it so weed processing/ephedrine/black market move between a few locations based on the citizen. Possibly have it when a location is unable to process or runs out make it so then it moves to the other location(s). This is mostly to prevent camping from both Police and other civilians, sure being robbed or arrested at the locations is all part of the RP but a little extra effort from people to get to that RP isn't a bad thing. I am aware officers have restrictions on how often they can patrol such areas but the variety makes officers and civilians take initiative. Multiple locations would also remove the problem of a group of strangers being at this location and all getting busted because one person did something that caused a Police alert either intentionally or not. Having multiple locations also encourages players to go around and explore the city a bit instead of being at the same hotspots. Vehicle Keys Make it so car keys are an item that is in the players inventory and each set of keys are unique to that players vehicle. Once a player retrieves a vehicle from their garage have it be deposited in their inventory and when it is impounded/stored they are removed. These keys would be named something similar to "Tyrone's Surfer Keys" and would only work on Tyrone's Surfer. A feature to go to a location such as the jewelry store and pay to have a duplicate made. Being able to lend your car out to your friends is something people have shown interest in and can also work for vehicle rentals. This can also lead to extended criminal RP where instead of just getting into an unlocked and running vehicle you can mug them for their keys. After a drunk night out you can also claim your friend's keys to stop drinking and driving! Apartment Keys A similar concept to the previous suggestion where when you buy an apartment you get a key which lets you just go right into said apartment. You would still need the apartment number but you can bypass the need to be buzzed in. As the owner of the apartment if you lose your key you can still get into your apartment and a replacement key by paying a small fee to your building superintendent. The owner of the apartment also has the ability to spend a small fee to change the locks on the apartment which would invalidate the previous key. If you are a key holder you can access whatever is inside the apartment such as storage and the closet and even buzz people in. A feature to go to a location such as the jewelry store and pay to have a duplicate made. With apartment keys you open up a bit more of life RP since people can now live together and share a bit more freely. This also can add more of a sense of criminal RP where you can now do home invasions by stealing a copy of the key to get into their apartment. I get lonely sometimes. Vehicle Repossession Missions A similar concept to vehicle sourcing missions from the online. A player can go to either a legal or illegal map marker and be tasked with retrieving a certain vehicle. The illegal sourcing should be a roaming one via various garages or machine shops around the city while the legal one is a set place such as Simeon's. The player would be told that the vehicle is somewhere in a specific region such as West Vinewood so they have to go there and actually look around. If they are doing the legal sourcing then have it so there are NPCs nearby that are sensitive to the vehicle and will attack you when you enter it or get too close. If they are doing it on the legal end have an item deposited in their inventory stating the job. If you are doing the illegal sourcing make it so the car shows up via the illegal informant while it is being sourced or such as with drugs have a NPC potentially call it in. Payment could be based on either car condition or on the time it takes to retrieve the vehicle. For those who enjoy being car thieves and are looking for a little more interaction that just boosting a random car. Also adds another layer to the lives of citizens and depending on implementation competition if two people are tasked with the same vehicle.

Dear all If you participated in the siege/control of the LSPD HQ, where we took control of the building and escaped without losing any men, unlike the police,you already know me. Head of the LS Gambino crime family. A pleasure to meet you all, I hope we can do business together to fill our pockets. I am interested in expanding the organisation, so approach me in game for information on how to take part in the family business. Kind regards, T.Gambino
