Please provide a brief summary of your Suggestion/Idea
Alright, so to start this off. This main idea around this is to avoid legal loopholes for criminals to exploit (if that makes sense). Currently, you can add a map that looks like a prison with 30 Feet high steel walls and unsupervised/un-inspected buildings within. If you do not believe me, go behind Mount Chiliad and check the forest area (You will see my map that I added). IRL, a city planning department would not approve that without valid licenses and intentions put in place (which probably would never happen unless you are constructing a fucking prison or military depot).
So to sum this up. The Government Planning Department will approve plans (.map files), construct them with contractors they hire or just with their own staff. They Will also be in charge to inspect business, residential properties (if complaints are made, or routinely) and all public spheres to avoid any damage or damage to citizens. The planning department will basically have the right to tear your whole fucking house down, if it does not uphold to IRL laws regarding safety. Or at least sue you after several fines issued. I will (with other staff members) compile a list of restrictions and rules that plans (maps) should uphold to, that's drawn from IRL state laws (California? Where ever our server is based on legally). Violating certain property/planning laws will either get you fined, evicted, sued or ultimately arrested with your property being demolished. Which is after all what happens in real life, if you decide to construct things that serves as a public threat.
My main intent, is to revamp my current faction "De Broglio Construction Firm" in to the Government Planning Department. As we have existing infrastructure to assist with the above, and also the existing personnel. And to repeat this, the above can only be implemented if complaints are made against your property or if it fails inspections. Again, a list of rules and regulations will be made for properties of all sorts.
Advantages/Benefits
- Cover IC Legal loopholes.
- Restrict players from constructing bullshit that's totally just insane and unrealistic?
- Promote RP of different sorts (Involving PD, Illegal Roleplays, Planning Dep).
- Promoting Character Immersion.
Disadvantages
- Players will QQ as always.
- They will ignore the restriction/rules and probably leave the server if they get sued, fined or seizure of property. But that's just always what QQ'rs do.
Does it require scripting?
Tick one
[X] No.
[ ] Yes, I have the script.
[ ] Yes, but it still needs to be scripted.
How would you go about implementing this suggestion?
- Rename De Broglio Construction Firm to 'Government Planning Department'
- Create Additional Positions for staff. Such is Business Licensing Staff, Property Inspection Staff, etc.
- Research existing state laws regarding construction/property/public sphere laws, and provide a list of reasonable and expected rules that characters should follow.
- Change colour of vehicles and their descriptions to match Government themes.
- Use existing/Create new procedures for inspections, violations, constructions.
- Update Legal system.
Impact the suggestion would have if implemented
- Listed in Advantages/Disadvantages
Additional information:
Currently, the mapping team/head of mapping approves maps and such. Which is perfectly fine but it really blocks roleplay? Because face it, everything head of mapping staff can do -can be done in character accordingly. It should be done in character. Because if a server staff members declines a map proposal, with who does the character/persona appeal the decision, it only results in QQ. We can't keep slamming the OOC "Not RP" excuse for declining roleplay etc. We need to create IC systems, that will convert OOC QQ to IC roleplay. And this suggestion is just one of them.
Now you may be think it's too much control for a faction. And I strongly disagree even though it is probably. But it's not a valid argument. That's just like saying PD has to much control over arresting character or CK'ing them. It's an argument that contradicts itself. By implementing this suggestion, it will impact RP greatly by promoting more RP. Think about it. You are running a meth lab in your house. All of a sudden, a Gov Planning Department inspection personnel knocks on your door -saying a neighbor complained about what not. The inspector walks in, sees multiple violations. Call us in a court order to seal off the property until a thorough investigation is made. Within a few days, the owners is evicted or the place is demolished since the roof is about to give in or something. It's just a hypothetical example. There are countless more since we won't just be focusing on that. Promote RP people. Stop fucking driving around in V12 Donor cars. Stop being incompetent roleplayers.
And another thing. I know this for a fact. Before you can sign off a home to a new owner. It must be inspected thoroughly. You call those personnel home inspectors I believe?
