Effective immediately, as at the time of this post, I am stepping-down from the position of Head Administrator; as a result, the rank and responsibilities I currently hold will be removed.
As my final and resulting act of this decision, I have implemented a new Head/Senior Administration...
New rules and new laws have been created; these will now be implemented into the server and must be strictly adhered to.
The new rules and the new laws can be found here:

This section of the forums also allows for the rules and laws to be...
Remove the menu that appears when a mayoral election begins.
Add a new option to the Nexus NPC that allows players to cast their vote; when the option is clicked, a menu should be opened listing the mayoral candidate's names.
Make it so that a vote only ends after 10 minutes have passed since...
All users within this community are expected to adhere and are subject to the following rules of conduct. These rules will be enforced at all times, including instances where a user is communicating with someone who is not a part of this community; in-character gameplay is exempt from these...
Hi, I'm Luke; my name is Luke, people call me Luke, and here I am, being Luke...
I've been told that I can be abrupt, and have a limited vocabulary... Bollocks.
Now people can't say that I haven't made an introduction.
The main problem with the city's finances is the fact that the city doesn't have enough income; this idea/suggestion is going to rely on a lot of follow-up ideas.
Sources of Income
Taxation
Income Tax
Income Tax is NOT really a form of income as the only people who have to pay Income Tax are...
The Mayor's radio should be removed.
It is unrealistic for the Mayor to have a radio.
If the Mayor needs to contact emergency services, he can use his/her phone, or ask a Secret Service agent.
Benefits
Improved realism.
Will prevent government employees from contacting the mayor for...
At the moment, government vehicles do not use fuel; this should be changed so that all government vehicles use fuel and require that their driver 'fuel-up' their vehicle.
Unlike non-government vehicles, the fuel should be free for the vehicle.
Benefits
Improved realism.
More realistic Police...
A new job should be added - Head of Security; this will mean that there are 3 Secret Service agents. The main purpose of this job will be to direct the efforts of the Mayor's security; this includes the other 2 agents, and coordination with law enforcement.
It should be clear that the Mayor is...
Each section of government employees, Police, SWAT, Paramedics, Fire Fighters, Road Crew, Secret Service, and Bus Drivers, should have separate radio channels; this would mean that only SWAT team members would hear other SWAT, fire fighters other fire fighters, etc.
The Lieutenant should be...
When someone robs the bank, their arrest warrant begins to 'count-down' the moment they start the robbery, meaning that the longer the robbery and the more money they steal, the less time they spend 'running' when leaving the bank, which is the opposite of how it should be.
The 'count-down'...
Arrest Warrants should only expire after the person has died, spent time in jail or if the Lieutenant has removed the Arrest Warrant.
When someone has a warrant for their arrest, they should NOT be notified.
With regards to bank robberies, the thief(s) still gets the money after a certain...
Death needs to be more scary and undesirable; I think this suggestion/idea will greatly help:
When you die, you should remain dead for 10 minutes.
The time in which you can be revived should be dependant on how you died.
For example, if you are knocked unconscious, if you are not revived...
When there is a gun in your hands, it is always in a 'ready stance', already being aimed and ready to go; it shouldn't always be like this:
http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/imgs/m4sopmod.jpg
or...
The names above people's heads, terribly unrealistic, but vital for gameplay.
The main problem I have with them is that it allows you to very easily spot people hiding behind trees, for example.
What could be done? Smaller names? You need to be closer to see them? Can't see name tags unless...
I think how people currently build barricades is beyond unrealistic. I have 2 possible suggestions/ideas to resolve this, the first being more realistic.
A new rule should be added that prevents people from freezing ANY props within a barricade; instead, people could just put loads of props in...
I think normal civilians should be able to purchase and own a limo.
It may as well be the same one as the government, but without the increased safety factors.
The vehicle should be very expensive, in comparison of more commonly-owned vehicles.
I think that the government limo should work differently to other vehicles whereby if it is disabled, the driver and passengers is not thrown-out of the limo, and the limo doesn't ignite.
Not only should the driver be wearing a seatbelt, because of the nature of the job, but the limo doesn't go...
When someone is holding a weapon in their hands, Police and SWAT officers should NOT be able to handcuff them.
Will promote realism and help to prevent people from doing this now, even though it can be considered 'FailRP'.
Government employees should be able to damage other government employees.
Will promote realism, and the only reason not to is the increased likelihood of rules being broken, but as an RP server, that is to be expected.
Will help to ensure government employees, specifically Police and SWAT...
This suggestion/idea is mostly dependent on my other suggestion/idea being accepted:
http://perpheads.com/forum/server/ideas-bug-reports/1661-weapon-management
A new prop/entity should be added that can be placed as a normal prop; once placed, the player can access it like they can the...
Similarly to equipping and un-equipping weapons, a delay and loading bar should be created each time someone tries to enter and exit a vehicle.
However, differently to that of weapons, a cancel button should be added to allow the person to cancel the act of entering or exiting the vehicle; when...
Another big change suggestion/idea.
The Regeneration Gene should be completely removed.
All regenerative food should lose their regenerative effect(s).
Bandages should only stop bleeding temporarily; the more you move around, the faster you bleed.
Stim Packs should only heal you temporarily...
This change will affect gameplay heavily; however, I believe the change will greatly promote realism and improve overall gameplay, especially in terms of the amount of rule-breaking.
You should no longer be able to store weapons in your inventory wheel.
The only weapons you should be able to...
The delay which now prevents people from instantly equipping a gun is a great step forward, however, more is still required.
When you un-holster an already equipped weapon, be it a primary or secondary weapon, there should be at least a 1 second delay between the act of un-holstering and the...
When you are a government employee, you should be able to disable the radio so that you are unable to hear it.
The radio could make a 'buzzing' noise to alert people that the radio is being used.
This would help promote realism and especially help in situations where your radio has been...
Remove the ability for people to type /org.
Add an app to the phone called TeamSpeak or Skype and allow for people within an org to be able to access the 'chat room/channel'.
The chat room/channel could include both VoIP and IM options.
This could serve almost as a radio-like tool for non...
Add a new app to the phone which allows for text messaging, and disable the ability to type /pm.
Text messages will have a sound alert and will only be viewable in the app.
They could be saved, replied-to, forwarded and deleted.
This would remove the ability for people to send PMs while in...
This idea incorporates both a clarification of rules and some new functionality.
As a rule, to issue an arrest warrant, you must have seen the person's full face long enough to be able to confidentially remember the name floating above their head.
For functionality, to promote realism, and to...
