Too bad Allison resigned.

I think one private independent group should take over everything competing the current "official" group (which will be very easy to) and make the HQ decide for their status. They didn't had concurrence all this time so no one is even worried for their actual situation. Credits to the founders for the stories and contribution etc etc etc but now as it is, wont go forward somewhere.

One private group would need to indeed take over and put everyone in one group, ARFD, EMS etc and call it Rapid Response.

In 2009, correct, Though it doesnt work anymore does it? You have 30 members in total on a evening at SA:MP, I would like to see you step of your high horse
and start actually doing something, i have only see you commenting here and moaning, instead i see 0% change on that external forum 0% change in your
behaviour and 0% change of ARFD doing anything positive, roleplay or whatever.

Start doing something, don't rely on others or ideas. Make a forum topic, on forums and actively recruit players there, and go find a solution to fix your GTA SA on W10 issue.

I didn't create this topic complaining about the problems with the group. Somebody else did. I am trying to discuss the situation so everyone is on the same level, and I can figure out what happened. This topic was revived to resolve the issues at hand, not create some attack on me. Please keep to the original discussion.

I am trying to do what I can from where I am at. A topic used to exist in the groups board, but was removed long ago by its own moderators after they decided that government groups didn't need them since servers were already advertising them in their City Hall boards. As for recruiting, we have an entire applications section on the forums. Every time I've seen new players on Fire Duty that have enjoyed it, I've encouraged them to put in an application. I cannot force people to go there and apply. The truth is that most people don't know how to roleplay the job beyond spraying some fire and calling it good, so they tend to try other jobs first. As someone also mentioned, it is difficult to get people to join when there isn't much that can be gained from joining aside from command structure, a text rank promotion, and training, (which many see as work more than fun, unfortunately). The Developers in SA:MP have tried giving a cash bonus in the past to those that have joined SAFD in order to resolve this, however it led to more rankhunting and abuse than anything else, which is one of the reasons why it was removed. As I said before, I am open to ideas people have. I've passed on quite a few myself, but most of them require severe script changes that the server cannot handle taking on at this moment in time, (and rightfully so I can't blame them).

As for the issue with my game and Windows 10, I've tried just about every solution out there, and I've discussed it countless times on SA:MP Forums. After months of trying, Windows 10 released an update that resolved my initial crash, however it only led to a new one. I thought I had it fixed for about a day, but then it returned again. It has pretty much come down to non-affiliated people on SA:MP Forums telling me to install an unsupported, unofficial add-on, that would massively modify my game, (and potentially lead to me being banned from the server), to possibly fix a crash, which I am not willing to do. That being said, I am testing insider builds of Windows 10 every time they are released, hoping that the crash will subside, however as of Build 10547, it is still present.

SAFD and ARFD Volunteer Firefighters don't have different icon/name colors, unless something recently changed that I am not aware of. It has always been dark red for anyone on Fire Duty, even in RS4.1, which was a decision by Gandalf.

I think one private independent group should take over everything competing the current "official" group (which will be very easy to) and make the HQ decide for their status. They didn't had concurrence all this time so no one is even worried for their actual situation. Credits to the founders for the stories and contribution etc etc etc but now as it is, wont go forward somewhere.

How would that solve anything? That is like asking someone who wants to be in charge to just steal a group away, which would massively promote rankhunting. From what I'm seeing here, the issue is people's activity, not people themselves.

Too bad Allison resigned.

That is among the things I am discussing with him. I was holding off on bringing it up in here, but since you brought it up, I'm trying to figure out a replacement for him now.

No. Again, EMS has nothing to do with ARFD. It is a private group that has no affiliation with ARFD at all. You cannot just force a private group to merge into an official group of a different career. That makes no sense, and it would be violating Argo's Vision. No one has control over private groups except private groups themselves, (unless they begin breaking server rules, at which point a server's leadership can exact punishment).

[Traser]

With minimum activity, how long would ARFD still be official?, think about this.

[SugarD]

That is something you should ask Gandalf. He is the one who set it as a government group.


As for anyone interested, applications are still open. I would highly suggest anyone wanting to join to do so now. We are in dire need of members, and those who want to join are welcome to.

[Bruce.]

McCane is also looking for member.

I'm kinda regretting stepping into this discussion as you're pointing me (or us) as someone who's doing propaganda for your job, I'm sorry but no one is attempting to steal your rank and your contributions and credits for your own groups.

You said very well, you started your own businesses until President valorized your work and dedications making your groups official. So if I decide right now making my own business makes me "stealer", lol.


Edit and addition:
It's obvious that no one spoke for ability of owners of ARFD all we pointed here was the "activity", as leader of different factions, i assume that without motivating players no one will ever follow your steps; without organizing anything, and the last without being present, everything that you "lead" will be faded and vanished. You can run that topic, and you can write walls of posts but IN Game no one will even attempt to roleplay that duty. So I can come in this conclusion: The impossibility to join in game is counted as inability to run one group.

SugarD please, there's nothing wrong in not being able to continue whatever you were doing in 2009, it's been 6 years anyway, people change. You'll always be credited for what you did. Now please let someone who can do something lead. Thanks.

Very nice observation. What about the situation in game? I'm interested in seeing your thoughts about it.

A person was promoted to a Command Staff position, and announced it one post before you said anything...
