those occupations sounds good. Here's what we should do. Anytime when someone comes up with new occupation, let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Hey I'm all up for role playing. go here and you'll know. http://home.earthlink.net/~daichan29/vsr.html And for those that said gta is not made for role playing, personally I think this game should be played however way people desire. It only takes little bit of creativity to do so.

I know that very few people will be interested in doing this. That's why I'm making this into a password protected server so the only select few will be able to join.

Ok I just made a simple webpage with detailed info. If you think I've missed something let me know. http://home.earthlink.net/~daichan29/vsr.html

I'm really glad some of you would like to give this a shot. And it's true that I did think this out alot. I just got sick and tired of everyone in the server coming after me, when all i wanted to do was to cruise around with a bike. Anytime I asked people not to kill me, most of them came up with a reply like "well this is GTA you know..." or "No, that is the point of us being in here. To kill each other" Like I understand this is GTA, and I may be the odd one for saying this, but I just disagree with a fact that you always have to kill each other when you have a game that allows you to do many things aside from killing like drive cars, ride bikes, collect vehicles, collect houses, work for money, and etc. I just think that when you have something, you should take full advantage of everything it offers you (especially after paying 40 to 50 bucks on a game). BTW, some of the occupations I have listed are just some examples. And just cuz there are 32 occupations listed here, it doesn't necessary mean that it's not enough for other people to play. I seriously doubt that all the players are actually going to sit in front of their pc all day every day to play this game. At same time in order for this to work, we would need some dedicated players, which also means that they'll stick with their job, and not constantly switching it just cuz they don't like it. So one day there could be 10 cops, and the next day there could be 5 cops. get my drift? For the Navy people, I was thinking that they'll play the role of military almost like a swat. considering the v 0.2 doesn't offer any other military characters. during the time navys are not needed, they can always be trained by their leader. I think I'm gonna build a page with a detailed info and rules for this server. It may take few days, but I'll make sure I don't leave anything out. And yes I really really do have this thing thought out to a point where as long as people are willing to do this, this will work. If you are really up for this idea, PM me and i'll give you the password to get in here. PS - if in any case where some asshole decides to pretend that they are interested, and ruin everything when they come in, I'm going to change the password, even if i have to do it everyday.

Hey, now I know there are some of you out that agrees with me on at least one of these things I'm thinking here. 1. People joining a server and doing nothing but killing other players gets really old after a while. 2. Sometimes, it would be so nice if people would just leave you alone and not kill you when all you wanted to do was to just cruise around or just hangout. 3. When there are groups of people doing battles, do they even have any strategies at all? 4. It would be pretty cool if there were someone in the city who would acts as a leader. WELL.. What if we had a server where we actually use the city as an actual city rather than just a battle ground? What if each person in the city actually played a certain role? Yup, Role Playing. I really want to give this idea a shot, cuz as long as people are willing to, this can be fun and interesting. Here are some detailed information. Occupation and their home President - Vercetti Estate Vice-President - Vercetti Estate Secretary of the City - Vercetti Estate Navy - Ship Police - Any police stations. Wherever they are assigned by the highest ranking officers. Body guards for the president and vice-president - Vercetti Estate Driver for President and vice-president - Vercetti Estate Club owner - Malibu Strip Club owner - Pole Position Film Director - InterGlobal Film Studio Airlines - Airport (Each airline will have their own helicoptor) Parking guy - where ever parking guy is needed for the valet Ice Cream person - Cherry Popper (yes that person has the right to drive the ice cream truck) Boxers/Kick Boxers - any unoccupied home, but will fight if a fight is hosted somewhere. Rock stars - any unoccupied home (can hold concert in any location as long as permitted by the president) Civilians - any unoccupied home Bikers - any unoccupied home Biker gang - wherever they are able to use as their property Bike Dealer/Mechanic - Greasy Chopper/Bike Emporium Car Dealer/Mechanic - Sun Shine Auto Taxi Driver - Kauffman Bad Guys - any unoccupied home So pretty much anyone who doesn't live in a vercetti estate will live in any unoccupied house, but when they need to do their "work" they'd have to be at their work place. Anytime a person wants to sponsor an event, they must go see the president and vice-president for a permission to use a certain location. President also makes the law, but he/she must discuss it with the vice-president. Vice-president becomes the President if the president gets assasinated. VP also can take over for the president during the time president is not available. If both president and VP are not available, Secretary will be in the charge of the city. If all 3 are not available at the time, police and body guards has to keep the city calm. If no authority are available, then city's pretty much screwed. lol. As for an election, each term lasts for one week. After the term is over, anyone can run for the election. Prez can be re-elected as much as people let's them, cuz after all, it is everyone's city. People can run for either President, Vice President, or Secretary of the City. It's their job to keep people happy so they can vote on them. IF in a case where no one wants to run for an election, Vice President will be the president, Secretary will be the Vice President. Body guards and police must wear their police uniform. Body guards will have higher status then the police (kinda like FBI). Body guards needs to do whatever necessary to protect the prez, VP and the secretary, but especially the President. To decide who becomes the body guards, 3 members of the House will hand pick who they think is best to protect them. Police needs to make sure the city is moving smooth and safe. Patrolling is necessary. anytime they catch a suspect, the suspect must get in the back seat and be taken to the jail. If the suspect refuses to surrender, police can kill them as many times as they want until the badguy actually surrenders. Therefore that person will be on the wanted list until they are put into a jail. If anyone are hurt, killed, or have their vehicles stolen, they can call the police by typing in 911 in the chat. Police must respond ASAP and help the victim(s). When the badguys wants to surrender, all they have to do is to type in SURRENDER in the chat window. President will decide how long the badguy stays in the jail, but it must be fair length. (Max amount in the jail will be 1 week) Dealer/Mechanic's job is to bring the vehicle to people who ask for them. However people can not purposely ask for vehicle and destroy them, and reorder them right away. If people needs a transportation, but don't want to own their own, they can use the taxi service. As for the airport, no airline will go to your house and pick you up. You will have to find your way to get there. Jail time - Stealing a vehicle - 2 hours in jail causing an accident - 3 hours in jail Killing a person - 3 days in jail Killing a person in The House - 1 week in jail Each day being on wanted list - 1 day added for each days on the original jail time for crime commited If there are anyone out there that are interested in this idea, let me know, and I will put up some general rules to see if you are still interested. BTW, the server Vice Society will be password protected so we won't have to worry about some people coming in and ruining everything for us.

cool

You know I was thinking of something that could make the current version of MTA interesting. So far I've seen people play in these ways. Randomly killing people, cops and robbers, stunts, and cruising. Well what about this idea of capture the flag? But instead of flags, use stuff like motorcycles or cars, and use the location where the vehicles spawns as the base. for an example Angel at Haiti vs Freeway at the cop station Blue PCJ at Bike Emproium vs Red PCJ at the airport. this way you can always blow up the stolen vehicle and when it spawns, it'll be back in the original location. I would like to give this a shot. I think it would be fun.

Well aren't tanks made to be tough anyways? I understand it wouldn't be fair for other players that has vehicle with less defense, but in exchange for the toughness, you give up the speed, and be able to turn and ride around smoothly like phoenix, pcj and stuff. I think it would be fine, considering you would have think of some kind of strategy to steal, stop or trap the tank if they are coming after you. That would make MTA more interesting instead of going into a server and doing nothing but killing people.

Well after reading the log, looks like some of you have had fun. And I've also noticed some killing eventhough I asked for no killing. Oh well I guess some things are inavoidable. Sorry I was not able to be in my own server. I've had some emergency situation. Oh and SM xenex, sorry about the ping. I don't know why it was so high that I might as well started the server on moon (I live in FL btw). Well I'd like to hear some feedbacks from some of you if possible to see what you thought so far about it. And yeah be honest with me so I can think about what I can do in the future what I can do to improve it. Thanx.

Wow, I didn't think this topic was going to grow this fast. Pretty cool. I thought it would be too crazy. Maybe I should start posting about all those crazy ideas I have in my head. Maybe some of them are not that crazy after all. Cuz I know alot of people liked my idea of being able to use the jail cells locking people up. The Faggio with property of tank... that's kinda funny when you think about it. lol. I do agree with creating big car is not necesary cheating. Every vehicle has it's own advantage and disadvantages as long as you don't cheat with invincible code or something. Like I know tanks are nearly invincible, but it does take a while to get started so that would give people chance to pull the person out easily.

Ok I apologize if someone already created this topic, but I couldn't find the original one where I had posted before for the suggestion. This is probably going to be pain in a butt to do, but like many people had talked about, being able to use MOD for MTA would be so cool. Being a bike fanatic, I think it would be great if there was a bike fest and everyone came with their own custom bikes. Same thing can go for if someone decides to have a car show. Now I'm still in process of learning programming but how's this for an idea? MTA can have an extra folder in their directory where mod files are saved so they can be downloaded by players if someone were to go into a server where people have their custom vehicles. I understand that may take long time before anyone creates a version without crashing (if it's even possible to do that), but I thought that would be really cool idea.

Well if you mean it by the flags, It usually comes up as either US flag or no flag at all.

this server "Vice City Bike Fest" will not be open til tomorrow (the 9th)
