Addition to the radar dots suggestion

[AK47]

I know, you came back.

Loooool

@Gandalf
I wouldn't say that the changes didn't improve the roleplay, on a contrary. The fact people want more changes, is because they want a even better environment then the current one, or they're simply bitching for the bitch of it.

Sticking to full dots, or completely removing are just two extremes that wont work out, hence why we need some middle solution, that would satisfy both sides, including the down sides of both suggestions.

Hence why I offered my idea, as a solution, which we can test for 48hours or something.

...back more than 10 years ago where cops were not even as close organize and skilled as SAPD is.

I will make an example, and I think I am very right when I say this. As far as I remember, SAPD was implemented with a few cops to show the greatness of police RP and to be professional police roleplayers. I imagine the police in MTAVC was so bad, there were only ARPD officers who barely interacted in situations with each other unless it was big shootouts. I imagine them not having a rank structure with training, I imagine they are not having active pursuit communications such as Patrol 1/2/3 and Situation 1/2/3 in TeamSpeak. I imagine them not having officers who are dedicated to a division like a high speed unit or an air unit.

Your statements are incredibly inaccurate, and your knowledge on the subject is completely wrong. You may want to research where ARPD actually came from, and how SA:MP SAPD became a part of it. Have a nice day.

Indeed. Go fuck yourself if you do not agree.

Relax people. Why is this keep happening every time.

So Gandalf if I could select between freeroam RP with dots and your "real life RP" where my account gets deleted upon death, then I'd select real life RP.

If things did improve, why do people still have the same jingle.
My main objection apart from the chases is that it excludes players from finding others to roleplay iwth, and I am aware that there are advanages as well.
Many people seem to regard roleplay as something to do with a group of people you know instead of interacting with whoever you meet.
Perhaps it is a form of autism that many have.

Ok. Next time you die your account is banned. You can make a new one but it will be treated as a new player.
All positions you hold will be gone, all possesion, all money.
Happy ?

Keep your part of the deal and remove the dots for everyone as well though.

[TiMoN]

Time to start offshoring your cash son.

Nope. When he dies, he dies. No more money for him to access off-shore.

You know you don't mean that.

I know I mean that.

I never offered that. I just offered to get you in to a real life style play.

[Liviu.]

Just quit arguing,mates. Gandalf already said it's a no, with proper reasons. He leads the server, it's his decision if we  should implement something that could drastically change the server.

[Cofiliano]

Because they desire more, in order to achieve more. And they have the same jingle, because based on their experience that's the only way they'll manage to accomplish something.

That's my objection as well, but you didn't give your opinion on my idea, to resolve that:

I would suggest something like, you would be able to see blips on the minimap, but once you come close, they would be gone.

Example, you're driving at Garcia, and you can see blips at Queens, but once you come close in entering Queens, they would dissapear.

Or lets say, you're at Idlewood Motel, and you see blips at Ganton circle, yet once you come close to enter the Ganton circle, the dots are gone. By that time, everyone who came, can have a visual on those people, yet those people can use the blips gone, to dissapear behind the houses and those small alley streets, for the sake of roleplay.
