I don't understand why mafia members can not advance rank. like FBI.
Only freecops for mafia members, and gangs.. :(
I can be a good cop.. but yeah rules are rules..
Can i atleast register another Cop account? specialy for advancing in cop ranks?
-
Uhm you can be a cop if you want. You can be anything, it does not matter you are in a criminal group (unless the group doesn't allow you to be a cop).
-
From what I have heard, you have to change your name ingame when you are being a ARPD Officer.

Nah i mean this: Criminal group members may NOT advance higher ranks in SAPD..
1 qeustion.. i am officer on ARPD website.. only for VC:MP or SAMP too ?

No, if your group allows you to go on duty, you may - however, you are not required to change your name by server rules.
Groups like the FBI disallow any criminal activity between their members. No FBI Member is allowed to commit any crime Niether are FBI members allowed to join any criminal groups, ie Corleone Family.
This does not just apply to FBI, this also applies if you are a SAPD Seargant, you may not join a criminal group. I think there are more too.. not sure.
The reason I believe they are not allowed to join criminal groups, is because they must put full devotion towards their special police job.

You're correct. The highest level in the SAPD you can be while in a criminal organization (classified as criminal from the SAPD'S POINT OF VIEW, NOT from what the leaders call it) is Senior Officer. S.W.A.T. members may not be in a criminal organization as well as F.B.I. members.
Answer: Nope, your rank is just for VC:MP if you're an officer there. Whatever your highest rank is in the whole ARPD is what will show above your avatar (on the ARPD forums)

Vince completely described it
but your first message is really strange, i dont understand anything
you can be mafia and up to the rank of senior officer,
if you want to get higher(Sergeant) you must leave the mafia,
i had this myself too, i got promoted to Sergeant while i was in [Z]
which is criminal, so i had to choose, and i became Sergeant
and you must apply for both servers, if you are a VC officer you still are SA freecop

The reason FBI don't allow criminals and mafia in - Because chances are, you would be investigating your own mafia, and perhaps yourself. It just doesn't make sense to join a law enforcement agency that fights organized crime and you're part of it. You can be a SAPD officer and be in mafia.. but FBI / SWAT / SAPD Sergeant and above disallows it.

Actually criminals can advance in SAPD, but we have an upper limit to try and ensure that what in effect become classified operations against mafias do not get leaked out to the target mafia..
Think of this...
SAPD Trust you s you claim they are different RP Characters
Your in mafia A
You have just been avised that Mafia A is about to get raided by a SAPD task force
You have just as much loyalty if not more to Mafia A, and tell them
SAPD loose several officers from this.
You claim you leaked information when investigation finds you are source..
Yet you claim they are not same character and thus information can only be shared ooc:
We actually have had this happen and had to instigate a rank restriction for those in criminal families/mafias/team to reduce information leaks
-
ahh., ok then.. thanks every1 :)

I am not sure I'f I would stop if a cop called like Name_corleone or [Z]Name Shouted " pull over"

I can see where you're coming from. Sometimes though some of them can roleplay another side.

i did it just simpel i was DHRmike_Solonik = Mafia or [TCL]DHRmike and thats a cop :) so i just had 2 caracters if i had to investegate my own mafia and myself wel so be it i even think its funny if i have to put myslef in jail :rofl: for 2 reasons when i am a Criminal i know Cops are after me When i am a Cop i know what i woud do as a Criminal :rofl:

I refuse to change my name given that the last time I did somebody stole my nick and logged off, the little git.
So yea, I never change my name for different roles. I'm both Araatus Kumicho and ARPD Senior Officer. Even though I've been in ARPD just over 21 months I'm still considerably more loyal to my own group than the ARPD, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't want to hear ARPD's secrets, because that way no matter what I did I'd be betraying either my allies by not helping them or the ARPD by leaking it. Frankly, I'd rather not know them in the first place.

This has been recently discussed on the ARPD forums as well.
The main [IC and OOC] reasons behind it are actually quite simple:
1. Certain ranking officers should be devoted to their law enforcement job and should not have the time to roleplay a criminal.
and
2. Certain ranking officers should not be participating in criminal activities when they are law enforcement officers that know WAY better than to ever do such a thing.
As for changing your name, I agree, and this NEEDS to be set. RON and Ronnel have already said that changing your name has nothing to do with the roleplaying name. Your username is purely for account purposes only, not for roleplay purposes. You can even double-check this in the "/changename will be removed" topic here on the forums. The rule needs to be set that you SHOULDN'T change your ACCOUNT name between characters, but that you SHOULD change your IN-CHARACTER name that you are roleplaying with when going between the two factions. This solves the issue and removes /changename from the argument. I'm pretty sure, considering that I can even quote the topic it came from, that RON and Ronnel would easily agree to setting such a rule on ALL servers.
For those who will be unhappy and complaining "this is not RP then'... We have an MTA VC server without changing nicks... And people roleplay and know each other good... Nick is an option of player registration and not an option of roleplay...
