This level of toxicity should not be tolerated or allowed. Targeting an entire group across servers just to RDM and ruin people’s experience is just straight harassment.

Can the server at least make an effort to retain RPers? Many people are unhappy with the server's state from multiple perspectives. Cops are dissatisfied with people constantly fleeing traffic stops in decked-out cars. Saw some people switch games / go off duty because of this. One person literally went to patrol on NoPixel because there was more traffic stop RP (and they were right).

On the other hand, some people on the crime side are dissatisfied with how heavy-handed the police department is, particularly during EU. Crime in the EU is basically nonexistent for many reasons (heavy-handed cops objectively chased most people off the server). When there is a crime, basically everyone responds. Kyle's stream today was a good example of this. He was driving a shit car, was alone, but the PD threw everything at him, including spam tasing and multiple units. This goes against everything Penta has said OOC about how cops should respond to situations.

When the server is bleeding people during EU, it seems like self-sabotage to continue to respond so heavily-handed.

maybe i'm just an old man, or maybe i just like things a certain way,
but whatever the case is..... i really hate "sexy saturdays", i also use air quotes, because i don't really find it attractive.

i actually think the people walking around in their underwear is low-key kind of revolting.

like i don't see how BCSO can ever say they're on the moral high ground of things, and act like they're more serious than LSPD, when they're literally policing in their lingerie and underwear.

What's even more bizarre, is that the courts don't ever say anything about it... well actually, i take that back, theres been multiple judges, i think John Law who has told people.... don't come to court unless you're dressing in proper attire, when they tried to come into court without a shirt or wearing only lingerie. So why then isn't that standard applied across the board to the entire city?

I also think people have complained about it in the past, that cops are dressed in lingerie, and then BCSO would throw it back in their face that... "you don't tell her how to dress... SHE'S A WOMAN. YOU DON'T DO THAT" lol and then those people just get group shamed into just accepting it.

i just want cops to be cops. doctors to be doctors. lawyers to be lawyers. judges to be judges. (And to dress like it)

i don't want a "Tac Med" or "Tac law", a lawyer with a shotgun, or a doctor with a shotgun.
likewise... i also don't want a cop that looks like a stripper.

casual friday is one thing, where you're just wearing jeans. and even that should be a privilege, but this is just way too far.... and i just wish there were more people who took a stand on this sort of thing.

i don't want to see Mack in his underwear, i don't want to see Charlotte in their underwear, and i most certainly do not want to see Gordon in his underwear. lol or anyone for that matter.

Found him through moon and was a HUGE fan, watched him almost everyday. Stopped watching after he left NP because it just didnt feel the same. Saw he had his on server and decided to check him out and its completely different. Now I cant tell when something is OCC or not but it feels like its all OOC. Even when someone is obvoiusly RPing if its not what penta likes he starts complaining and making weird thinly veiled threat like "you're fucked pack your bags" and other comments that sounds like he might ban him. Finding out that hes been banned from like 3 or 4 servers and hes driving people away from his own server its pretty sad. The NP streams were goated but doesnt seem like he'll ever get unbanned from there. Also im kina blasted and I dont mean anything here in a disrespectful way

Warning long** TLDR at end

 

With Penta on vacation, I had a chance to bounce around and check out different POVs on the server today and honestly, it wasn’t a great day for Chase RP.

My morning started with Kyle, who was clearly getting frustrated playing his crim character. He said it felt like everyone constantly snitches with no fear of repercussions and police responses being overly aggressive for throwing a waffle he might as well just stab someone Its just frustrating. After he managed to get away they actually called him expecting him to act stupid and  “meet up” which just annoyed him more.

I then watched Soupes for a little. He seems completely disinterested in playing Chase at all right now. I thought maybe with penta being on vacation and him saying he was really enjoying the people he was roleplaying with before everything went sour he might make an appearance but he doesn’t even seem interested in messing around on the server at all.  I enjoyed his streams and the office Rp he did so it sucks to see him stepping away from chase.

After that, I watched Thrive for a bit. Things seemed fine until he tried to do a traffic stop, and the person just got out, stabbed him with a Kroc, and drove off. That tilted him enough that he just logged off and said traffic stops are some how actually better on no pixel which says alot.

I checked in on Millz a little later and he was getting arrested on Slim. It looked like he was trying to keep the situation lighthearted and fun, but something in the interaction came off as vague OOC comments to him. He ended up getting off Chase after getting 200 months in jail and talking to his chat for a while. Ill be honest I missed part of what happened since I stepped away for about 10 minutes, but I caught the conversation afterward. He was saying that most of the Ballas don’t want to play on Chase right now and he understands why, because he’s not feeling it either. A month ago, he said he couldn’t wait to get on and play, that he was going to bed thinking about playing the next day and now that feeling is just gone.

He also talked about how, before the Ballas left, it felt like everything was blamed on them  along with constant admin tickets and complaints. He took a break, and now after coming back from a 14 day hut the southside just feels dead.

That conversation led to him announcing he’s been working on a server with around 11 devs. He said they’re planning to release a teaser trailer in about a month if everything goes well. It’s been in development on and off for about a year, but they’ve really been putting more time into it recently. Honestly that’s pretty cool and I’m happy for him. He seemed genuinely excited.

(Also side note his RP podcasts have been really good lately. Definitely worth checking out if you haven’t)

Finally, I caught JamJar’s stream, and he just seemed defeated and frustrated. I watched when Penta lost that car in a chase Sunday night and said he was going to nerf tuner cars and  talked about wanting to remove upgraded parts. At the time, I figured it was just a kneejerk reaction that there’s no way he’d actually go through with something that would hurt the car scene after people invested so much into upgrades. And it was one of the more active corners of the server right now. It would’ve made more sense to buff cop cars, especially with performance mode coming in the next patch.

But no he actually went through with it and nerfed a ton of high end cars while less popular cars that are arguably more problematic were left untouched.

Jam seemed genuinely upset, and honestly, I don’t blame him.

At this point, I don’t see the vision Penta talks about. From a viewers perspective what am i supposed to be excited or invested in?  More and more streamers seem to be showing frustration and confusion with the state of things. These aren’t just “Hate Watchers” saying it. Multiple areas of the server are struggling and need attention or direction.

What worries me most is that if something isn’t important to him, he flat out doesnt care. Hes said so himself multiple times. Like lets be real this kidney mechanic stuff might sound cool when he talks about it with chat and make for a funny Jimmy stream but all its gunna do is make people not do drugs at all because they dont wanna deal with it. Arent there more pressing things the devs could have worked on?

The Paleto election is another example and maybe the most frustrating. What even was the point? Paleto was the most interesting concept of the server and he has no plans for it. Its literally just a spawn point for public players to leave and go to the white listed area. No one wants to do boarder RP. He cant get people to run Paleto how he envisioned it and now  nothing really came from any of the military stuff or the election.  To make matters worse He isnt going to play Jordan consistently enough to build Paleto up because it doesnt bring in the subs. So its a dead plot point making him the president there. He talked about letting people sell drugs out of Paleto with Jordan’s approval, but how is that any different from what he was complaining about two months ago? He wasnt around on Pryor then he isnt going to be around on Jordan now. At least back then, cops were watching the border.

Hopefully things improve, but from a viewer perspective, today was rough.

I mostly wrote this to see if anyone else had a similar experience watching today and what issues they saw people talking about with Chase and what could realistically be improved.

Also just to be clear i dont think anyone was talking ill of Penta  more just talking about frustrations with how things are going.

Sorry i didn't post vods or timestamps but im sure each vod is still up if anyone wants to skim through them.

TLDR Alot of streamers had frustrating experiences on Chase yesterday

Windsong also got her first legislation passed (not using executive points), however... she had to withhold her signature on someone elses legislation, until they signed hers. Which Lars complimented her on doing... although i'm not sure you should be complimenting for that...

Because windsong now says that she's going to do that with all of her legislation now, just going to hold other peoples legislation over their head until they sign her bills.

that's actually a little "too real" as for politics goes...

i think it would be far better if people just worked together and signed each others stuff, and weren't low-key forcing them to.

The legislation she got passed was called "T.R.I.P" , it basically gives a person the ability to close off roads and setup cones/baracades etc. so that they can then fill potholes, basically a roadwork construction legislation. authorizing a certain person to run a crew.

so that's actually really cool RP-wise. W windsong. 😊

While Penta had discussed wanting to nerf tuner cars in his last stream, he commented that there were new PD cars coming with the next patch as well as the "Sport Mode" switch. So it sounded like nerfs might not happen until after the patch to see how the balance was with the souped up PD cars.

Well apparently that was an idea that was passed over. Tuner cars were nerfed today and it seems to be pretty significant. As I mentioned in my last thread, TehJamJar has been putting in lots of efforts towards the racing scene and was very aware of the performance of many of the cars. He tested some of the post-nerf cars and he was very displeased to say the least.

He mentioned how he had told himself before starting Chase to only play episodic characters and not get too invested in anything on the server. He said the reason that was his plan was because on every server he has had stuff like this done which blocks/interrupts his RP. He didn't follow his own plan and be had history repeat. He had to take a little break from the stream because he was getting so annoyed thinking about it.

I honestly hope the other admins/devs/people with sway try to stop Penta from the knee-jerk balance changes. Maybe he might listen to JamJar given he is one of the bigger streamers on the server, but he needs to start listening to someone. All of these unilateral, non-data based decisions are hurting the server. Especially when the decisions are deeply based on emotion and being unhappy to "take an L".

JamJar offered to help with car balance and apparently has offered to do so multiple times. For the sake of the server I hope they take him up on his offer.

I didn't catch any of the trial other than the ruling but Bowman's guilty verdict was upheld while Escobar's and Minx's verdicts were overturned. As expected, Sharpe and Hardy of the BCSO were upset with the results.

They claimed that Luna shouldn't have been able to overturn the verdicts and claimed it was supposed to just be a hearing to determine if there were grounds for an appeal and a retrial would have been necessary for verdicts to be overturned.

They also spoke with Luna after the case and were extremely disrespectful and belittling of her to the point that she logged off the server. I guess they have learned from Wrangler that when ever you are unhappy with a verdict you should just yell at the judge.
