You're speaking from your own perspective, you know how to roleplay, you wanna join, have fun and not let boring rules limit you from doing so. 

See it from this perspective, there's many many minges who join on a regular basis. They mass RDM even with this many rules. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be for the staff to maintain the server if there was someone randomly killing everyone, with the only explanation of them having "Serial Killer" as a job title. Spawning and getting killed would also make most players leave and get bored quickly, especially those who play on the server daily. 

I agree that there's certain rules which impose limits on roleplay creativity, and it might get boring from doing the same stuff over and over again. I like to roleplay based on characters, and deal with situations based on their perspective and personality, and specific rules limit me from doing so since I'm basically forced to always handle stuff the same way. Unfortunately, not everyone's here to roleplay and do so, which is why I assume there's rules for basically everything.

That's not really how most Serial Killers work in real life though. Why can't there be a Serial Killer with a good standard of roleplay with a background rp that leads up to people being killed, because currently I'm sure that'd be against the rules

It currently is encouraged to do some background RP in order to murder someone if you have a good enough reason to do so. Not all serial killers have a good enough motive, some can even kill random strangers due to their state of mind, we don't want that in a RP server, it's not fair.

I agree. Too many people focus on script instead of roleplay. For a Serial Killer RP you don't need to actually kill players. The first few kills can be ragdolls and then you have the opportunity to provide an interesting backstory, get people involved and then people might be OK with being Serial Killed. Blackout has done a few RPs like this and they work very well. He's even had people consent OOC to be victims.

* You've reached the maximum limit of ragdolls (1) spawned at a time! *

This is exactly what I did the other day with Oneshott and Ketchup.
I roleplayed having barrels in my vehicle and got pulled over,
The police found out I had bodies in the barrels.

No players were killed and was alot of fun.

Just feels like people are not so interested in joining roleplays and that's one of the main issues.

If there is a community meeting it might be a good idea to do it like the 1.6 meeting, where we only invite people who gave made good points and engaged in healthy debate, otherwise it will likely make as much progress as the thread will.

Legit only play for clanRP and build the server's gotten that fucking boring for me.

Lack of new players, lack of any fucking roleplay whatsoever, the bureaucratic attitude of the staff team where they can't make any changes to the server or ban any players who are toxic and making shit not fun for other players without going through a magical committee in their internal team discord, the contents of which will never be revealed because muh secrecy despite the community being founded on the basis of transparency (and if you tell me to apply for a community feedback role, fuck off I shouldn't have to).

But I have played on communities with so much less lag in logs of different game modes. Sometimes it's virtually unplayable. Can something actually be done about this?

We're looking at a few things. I just finished college (except one class but sue me) and with corona I have some time on my hands. I won't make any promises but I am hoping to improve things

I mean this would be great. I have a pretty good computer and good wifi but as soon as I go above 15mph you can almost guarantee I'll freeze then suddenly smashed into the wall. Also, Standalone?
