Form Questions
---
- **What's the reasoning behind not using video footage without the recorder's consent in the case of filing a report?**
    - FYI: You need to have your own evidence or consent from those you get the evidence from.
    - We don't need reports from those not involved in the situation.
    - Going through someone's VODs and finding every rule break they do and reporting them, isn't fair. Everyone makes mistakes.
    - You don't always have the full context of a situation.
    - If you feel that you are being wronged and didn't record, feel free to reach out the the person and talk it out.
        - You can always locally record in low quality or whatever you can. You don't need to be streaming. OBS recording to your local hard drive for example.
        - It's always good to have your own local copy.
    - There's no reason to scare off streamers because people are going through everything they do with a fine-toothed comb.
    - Management can still ban on exceptions and as they see fit in extreme circumstances.
- **For cinematic purposes could the text on the death screen be hidden with a command (maybe even /hud)?**
    - Feel free to put in a suggestion on the forums!
- **The thought of vigilantism being to over used, making outlaw roleplay not even enjoyable. Something to balance out not having alot of random people trying to stop a crime.**
    - If you aren't involved in the situation, you don't need to always need to get involved.
    - If there are law around, you may want to stay back lest you be arrested yourself.
    - When there isn't law  around, make sure you are valuing your life and follow the rules!
- **Can a method be put in place to make sure gangs communicate OOC to prevent possible developments of OOC salt?**
    - We are all adults and we should be able to reach out and talk to eachother.
    - Feel free to reach out directly, most problems can be solved that way and things are often misunderstandings.
    - In some crazy circumstance you can make a #support ticket (in Discord) for mediation, but we can't make people talk to you out of character.
- **Can we get a "Getting Started Guide" that gives basic info on how things work?**
    - This is a good suggestion and we will come up with something.
    - Some stuff is already on the forums and in the #faqs channel in the Discord.
    - For things like stores and whatnot, we expect you to find those out in character and using your logic.
- **I was just wondering why there is an age restriction for 16+ because my brother is 13 and he really wants to play but he can't because of the age restriction.**
    - The age limit of 16 will never be lower, and it's always debated to be raised to 18 (16+ grandfathered in).
- **Will the players have access to special spawnable vehicules for planned events? (Such as the Hot air balloon, Trains, Prisonnier wagons, ect.)**
    - If you have an idea for an event, reach out to the staff (Discord #support Tickets) and pitch your idea.
- **My characters main motivation is to open a restaurant. Will craftable food be implemented?**
    - Crafting is a planned system, but it's not the priority currently.
        - It would likely touch on cooking regardless.
    - If your some interesting ideas for this, feel free to put in a suggestion.
- **Am I allowed to be a mute, so in my RP, I get mugged, making me a permanent mute?**
    - We don't have rules or policies against it currently.
    - If this does become a problem, we will have to make a rule with it.
        - We cannot have a a quarter full of mutes!
- **What are the limitations on being able to setup duplicate weapons, so you can carry more than one of the same firearm?**
    - Right now this hasn't been discovered in RedM, despite a bunch of trying!
- **Is there a possibility for jobs being added to homes, could one for example request in some formal way a moonshine still in one's house?**
    - Feel free to put in a suggestion for this, but this isn't likely to happen any time soon.
    - You can always RP as a farmer and do this yourself! There's nothing to say you aren't selling booze out of your house!
- **Is Law Enforcement still hiring?**
    - Apps are currently closed as a bunch of new people were hired.
        - Pay attention to the forums, notice boards, and annoucements!
- **What does the Community Advisor team do?**
    - The first line to answering questions and handling Discord #support tickets.
    - Looking at suggestions.
- **Bounty Hunter Licenses - How would one go about acquiring one and is it fully implemented?**
    - Details will be announced later, possibly in the coming weeks.
    - There will be applications and a Judge that reviews them.
        - Restrictions will be in place.
            - Things like shooting in self-defense for example.
        - Bounty boards will then be accessible.
- **Will business deeds or licenses be removed from owners if they commit crimes or certain crimes?**
    - Likely just for crimes involving the property like racketeering.
    - There isn't a procedure set yet.
- **Where is the split between east and west for law enforcement.**
    - It's splits near Bacchus Station and is cut nearly straight South.
    - Image of the splits: https://i.imgur.com/9bjcBVI.jpg
- **Does the rule of 6 apply to a town full of people, an event full of people, or an adventuring group full of people that are not doing anything illegal but are attacked?  If a group of 6 outlaws attacks one of these groups of people, do they have the right to defend themselves?**
    - You have the right to defend yourself.
    - The rule is you being in an organized posse and having more than 6 and with pre-planned stuff.
    - Multiple groups in a town aren't magically a posse if they all run off to fight those attacking a town.
- **Forced Perma?**
    - You can't. They need to choose to permanently kill a character, no matter what injuries you give them.
    - If you perm your main/favourite character on a whim, they can never be brought back (we don't allow revives).
    - Judges can order public executions, but they will reach out to the person first to make sure they want to be perm'd.
        - It won't be forced.
        - Otherwise you'd just get a **long** prision sentence.
- **Are there implemented partial buildings that you can place down, any thoughts on camp building and hideout building?**
    - No, and likely not at all in that sort of way.
    - Feel free to put in a suggestion though with your ideas on how this would work.
- **Can you make some comments to the community regarding the difference between a modern sense of justice and justice in the wild west. What is the vision for the justice system in that regards? I am concerned from questions I heard during the event that there is this modern sense of justice rather than the gritty kind of justice prevalent in the late 1800s in the USA**
    - Neither form of justice work well with a Roleplay server so have a system designed for this server, not for either era.
        - With 1800s justice, everyone will get hanged and be shooting everyone.
        - A fully modern system has too much bureaucracy involved for players to have fun in.
    - The law enforcement here is mainly reactive, like the Sheriff watching from the porch and patrolling his town.
    - Roleplay and fun are focused first, accuracy second.
- **Is there any timeframe on newer (pre march) players being able to join the server?**
    - None currently.
    - They are stuck waiting on CFX to find a work around or Rockstar to either revert the change to the License Verification API or to come up with something CFX can use.
    - It's entirely out of our hands.
