As of recent, the server has become very unenjoyable with the roleplay provided from gang members, and the lack of staff intervention. I understand the server is in its beta, and I am sure some of the rules will change. However, there are a few main points I would like to address that I believe would improve the server for the current players, and any newcomers. 1. Stricter permission system: Though I enjoy the idea of the escalation system, I believe it needs to be strictly enforced, as well as better clarified. With the current system, gang members are running around knocking out, kidnapping, killing, and stabbing others without previous provocation, and with absolutely no lore. They are attacking characters that are valuable to players with throw aways, and causing stress to players the provide genuine roleplay. I know quite a few people who have left the server because it has become a cess pool of gang roleplayers attacking cops, ems, and other civilians with no reason. Not to mention, many of the gang members doing this remain unpunished, and are allowed to harass others oocly when they do not get their way. Clarifying and enforcing the system will create a better environment for players who genuinely come to the server to roleplay, and it will draw in a better player base. 2. Staff issues: This is not directly targetted towards any staff, but rather something I have experienced among a couple staff members, and believe should be changed for the good of the server. For one, I and several other players have been repeatedly harassed with little or no punishment to the ones harassing us. I have been called many disgusting things, all in front of staff members. The players only received a warning, whereas other players have been banned for lesser offenses. Thankfully, a few staff members have stood their ground towards these kind of players, specifically Bradley, Braylie, and Cameron. However, the issue is still very prevalent, and needs to be fixed. Targeting and baiting: As I'm sure many fellow EMS and cops have experienced, gang members love to target us with little to no reason other than the 'street cred' of killing a cop or government worker. Gang members are specifically baiting cops out of the station [as well as ems], to randomly ko, kidnap, assault, or even rape/sexually assault characters. This absolutely needs to stop, no server should knowingly allow the rape or sexual assault of a character. There is nothing wrong with gang roleplay, however the gang roleplay on this server has become very toxic and randomly executed. Even terrorist organizations do not randomly target their victims. If cops, ems, or really any character is to be targeted, it should be for a reason other than oocly wanting 'street cred'. Mugging makes sense, as that is an every day occurrence even in the real world. However, death, assault, and major assault is something that should only be executed when the escalation system has been strictly followed. Corrupt cops: Previously, when the server originally re-released, corrupt cops were either not allowed or you had to apply to be one. As of recent, several cops have been extremely corrupt. Most were terminated, but that is besides the point. Cops should be strictly monitored on their behavior, as well as how they execute protocols. This will provide a better image for the PD, as well as provide better roleplay for existing cops, citizens, and other government workers. It is understandable for some corruption to occur, however their should be internal affairs overseeing police behavior. Weapon prices: The last thing I have to bring up is weapon prices. Though weapons are supposed to come from the black market, and be a resource not commonly accessed, many people are easily able to access weapons. The prices are extremely low compared to the rate of income received from jobs and money printers. This gives gang members an endless supply of weapons, with no consequences when they lose one of their weapons. Either the income from jobs and money printers should be decreased, or the weapon prices should be significantly higher on major illegal weaponry.

IC SECTION Characters Name: Ayvin Semenov Age: 24 Why do you want to be apart of the force?(50 or more words): Arriving in Seoul, the rampant crime and gang affiliation reminded Ayvin of her home town in Russia. She had always been interested in becoming an officer at home, but after her mother passed away, she decided to move countries to pursue this idea further. She originally moved to Japan, but the culture did not suit her tastes. Once she arrived in Seoul, she spent most of her time locked up in her tiny apartment studying. Looking outside, she actually witnessed someone getting jumped. This furthered her drive to become and officer. Eventually, she earned a degree in criminal justice and is now looking to become part of the police force. Characters backstory (100 words or more): Ayvin grew up in Yakutsk, Russia, with her mother Anastasia, her father Niko, her oldest brother Pavel, and her youngest brother Akio. Her mother worked part-time as a nurse, and her father was a private investigator working for the police department. Often, she was left home alone to take care of her brothers while her parents worked. When her father had days off, Ayvin and her siblings would huddle around their fireplace, listening to her father tell wild stories about the things he saw on investigations. These stories originally scared her, and she became paranoid of a break in while she was home alone with her sibling. However, she eventually got used to the amount of crime in her area, and her father taught her self defense. She was no longer afraid after this, as she knew she could protect her family. Her father would go into detail about the cases he worked, mentioning how the officers took the evidence he provided and performed arrests. One night, Ayvin's father told her and her siblings a story about an unsolved murder case. He could not go into full detail, but he mentioned the evidence he collected, and how the cops barged into an abandoned warehouse to make the arrest. He told them how the man had prepared an arsenal, and started shooting blindly in the warehouse. A certain officer, named Abram Kozlok, rushed forward to stop the man. He managed to put a few bullets into him, stopping the onslaught of bullets and providing enough time for the arrest. Abram had taken a few bullets, and though he was rushed to the hospital, he later succumb to his wounds. After hearing this story, Ayvin was determined to work as an officer. She wanted to be as brave as the man in the story, and she wanted to help put people like that man behind bars. Ayvin began researching the level of education she needed to become an officer, and she began looking into where she would like to go to college. When Ayvin's mother found out about her career choice, she was initially infuriated. She did not want Ayvin to pursue such a dangerous position, but after Ayvin showed no signs of relenting, her mother actually came to support her decision. Sadly, before Ayvin could start college, Ayvin's mother passed away from an illness she contracted from a patient. Heartbroken, Ayvin packed all her things and left without a word, leaving her family behind. She arrived originally in Japan, taking on odd jobs to make ends meet. When she realized things weren't working, she moved to Seoul for a fresh start. In her tiny apartment, she earned herself a degree in criminal justice. Now, she is pursuing a job with the Seoul police force. What does your character specialise in?: Growing up, Ayvin saw and heard about many crimes being committed in the area. She became desensitized to them, and can perform her duties without hesitation or fear. Ayvin knows a good deal about self defense, so if she is disarmed she will be okay fighting hand to hand. She also feels obligated to protect others, so she will always put her life on the line to protect the citizens of Seoul. Do you have any questions?: I do not. Bold the questions, if not bolded will result in an instant denied.
