What would help roleplay in my opinion would be

- New clothing for civilians, boiler suits, shirts and ties etc (I know there's a selection already, but not everyone can afford 50k for new clothing)
Sounds good

- Players change their jobs too often, maybe a cool down would be appropriate? (For instance 2 hours)
That's a negative - I dont want to be stuck on a job when i click on the wrong one or have a shop but no body is coming.

- Introduce new props (I saw a gta v prop thread not so long ago) a whole wave of new props could benefit most players, as evocity props don't exist anymore.
Yes

- Food intake could be revised, you eat 1 fish and you're set for the rest of the hour. 
70% already last nearly an ingame day long.

- A light tool. 90% of the buildings are poorly lit, a topic to discuss for other day, but to me lighting is a big issue.
Yep.

- The weapons on back feature could be removed, since this came out EVERYONE has stopped carrying rifles, smgs. Although realistic, I think this belongs in SeriousRP, not SemiSerious.
Nope, it does not make much sense to remove something like that but yet you want kevlar to be visible

- Kevlar being visible on every player model, maybe with an on/off feature.
No on off feature, either you have it or you dont.

- A new way to earn money as a civilian, chopping wood is too easy and takes little to no roleplay involved. Personally I think this should be removed entirely.
No removal of woodcutting as this could be used for a more in-depth stuff if we could process the wood more

- Warrant system. Quick and easy to get a player to jail. Maybe having an overhaul on this system. Police could be required to take the player into jail directly. Some RP's do this, some don't.
I'm quite split about that, altough it increases RP, there are many people that just dont try to run away or dont enter the car - yes you can write a PR however what are you supposed to do the whole time ? You cant just run after the one person the whole time just because he breaks fearRP.


These are not suggestions but more on the lines of a discussion.

It's easy to quote and write yes or no, what are your thoughts?
There's no point sitting back waiting for someone else to put out ideas for you.

Regarding the players job discussion, I meant the actual jobs, chef, mechanic, bmd.
You don't just pack up an RP because no one is visiting you.

There are already multiple suggestion about most of these things, there is no need for me to retype those.

The actual jobs should have a 30/15 minute cooldown. And ofcourse you pack up an RP because no one is visiting, I would rather be doing something then wait uselessly in a room doing nothing. You can hardly call that an RP.

Weapons on back shouldnt be removed because its realistic and prevents people in any job to just carry a rifle out of safety. If you carry a weapon that large you should have the correct job or just carry a small caliber weapon.

Soo melee weapons are exempt? Hiding a shovel up your ass, a baseball bat, baton, a pipe?

While this is something that could benefit roleplay, there are already a huge variety of uniforms to choose from.

In my opinion we need a skill system, from which you can specialize your character.

- Introduce new props (I saw a gta v prop thread not so long ago) a whole wave of new props could benefit most players, as evocity props don't exist anymore.
While this is going to help with some roleplays, we still have a huge variety of props to choose from and use.

- Food intake could be revised, you eat 1 fish and you're set for the rest of the hour.
In-game time and hunger are pretty good.

- A light tool. 90% of the buildings are poorly lit, a topic to discuss for other day, but to me lighting is a big issue.
Eh, not really sure how this affects RP?

- The weapons on back feature could be removed, since this came out EVERYONE has stopped carrying rifles, smgs. Although realistic, I think this belongs in SeriousRP, not SemiSerious.
No. It should become even more interactive and add other tools on it like long melee weapons as well tools that are too big to conceal.

- Kevlar being visible on every player model, maybe with an on/off feature.
That would be very realistic, especially with ceramic.

- A new way to earn money as a civilian, chopping wood is too easy and takes little to no roleplay involved. Personally I think this should be removed entirely.
I partially agree, woodcutting needs to be more interactive and have multiple steps before it can be sold (risk factors, quality %, ect).

- Warrant system. Quick and easy to get a player to jail. Maybe having an overhaul on this system. Police could be required to take the player into jail directly. Some RP's do this, some don't.
Sure but also people should be able to drag cuffed/tied players.

We were talking about rifles, but now you touched that subject I think that they should be visable on your person as well.
The event was a clear insight into the benefits and enjoyment of SeriousRP.

Brought it up before I could. Literally all the arguments in the world couldn't argue against what was basically a live demonstration of SeriousRP
I wanna say have a Semi Serious & serious roleplay server but in reality there isn't a lot of differences.

Melee weapons have not deliberately been made exempt. They weren't added to the system.
Melee weapons weren't thought about as most could be hidden fairly easily. When we added longer items, we just never updated the system. You're welcome to suggest it though Smile
Keep it as semi-serious RP. Serious is boringggg it's fun to allow some freedom. and getting banned for saying the N word is kewl despite rules contradicting it.

Even though the rules were more relaxed during SeriousRP night? In fact, it's clear there is more freedom in seriousRP, especially if people are going to downvote suggestions just because they sound "too serious".
One of the good points about SeriousRP is the freedom to act. We have moderators and administrators. We should be lowering the rule count to allow to do what they wish IC, while also promoting them to act within realistic guidelines. You can't even beat up a suspect in custody as a Corrupt Cop. Something that is very common in the real world and makes for a fun RP for some here.

They are "resisting". I once beat a prisoner to death with a baton and blackdoggo yelled at the other guy for making a false report

Not that I saw you during the SeriousRP event, but I had a LOT of fun and freedom during it.
Like said "the event was a clear insight into the benefits and enjoyment of SeriousRP".

I'd +support a weekly/'weekendly' or monthly SeriousRP event for sure. I, as well as a bunch of others I have discussed this with, had a lot of fun during it.
