Thursday, May 7, 2020 POINT OF CONTACT: Chief of Police Devin Altman - DAltman@LSPD.gov (( @Mogs )), Lieutenant Richard Bankfield - RBankfield@LSPD.gov (( @Express )) LSPD Investigating Two Linked Homicides At 10PM on Tuesday the 28TH of April, the Los Santos Police Department received a 9-1-1 call regarding a body found in Sandy Shores. Officers responded to the scene and discovered the body of a female which was found stored in a large wooden box along side Joshua Road. The victim was identified on the scene, and her steps were subsequently retraced by a detective on scene to discover where she was last seen. The victim was pronounced dead on arrival. The cause of death was discovered to have been shock and severe blood loss from multiple wounds. Detective are currently following all potential leads, however, we do not have any suspects at this time. Following this situation, on Sunday the 3RD of May at 12:11AM the LSPD received a 9-1-1 call which reported a box which had been left in the same area as the previous. Officers responded to the scene and discovered the body of a female within the box with similar injuries to that of the previous victim. Detectives have gathered witness statements from civilains nearby, and are looking into all the evidence available. It has been established that these two murders are linked. Therefore we do anticipate that the offender may strike again. We advise that people, particularly women of a young age, do not travel alone in the area of Grand Senora Desert. Further information on this case, and the names of the victims is not being released at this time. Anyone with information regarding these incidents should contact the LSPD immediately through 3-1-1 or through the public contact form - https://leo.owlgaming.net/form/public-contact.10/select .

Most people are not going to log in game when there is nothing to do just to wait for others to get online. We need something that's going to get players engaged and in game regardless of the player count. i.e more features, more roleplay opportunities etc. Can't just blame it completely on the current community for not logging in.

I still believe we can do more in terms of outreach to newer players. I understand that we've recently had a trailer made, but this needs to be spread to people who would actually be interested in joining t the server. GTA/RP forums are a great way to do this, for example. The server needs to be new player friendly too. We have the tutorial already in place, but joining the server is a bit of a dive. It's extremely difficult to actually build up money and get anywhere currently. If a player wants a nice car & house then it is a serious grind. The faction choices are limited too, with only a select few legal factions (who are limited to what they can actually do & RP), and the government factions. -- If a player is going to join the server for the first time then chances are they're going to be bored within about 10 minutes of playing, and just leave and never come back. In terms of scripted jobs, rather than restrict them to level only, players should just have daily quotas. Much like a delivery company IRL, a person would only have X amount of items to deliver in a day. This would reduce people just spamming the scripted jobs. FT should, however, come up with a better and more engaging system for players to earn money through RP. I know that FT currently have the Legal VM system but I don't believe there's many people who are aware about the full extent of its use as it is mainly aimed toward businesses such as bars, restaurants etc. But due to the legal faction limitations, players imo should be able to RP what they want and get paid for it. For example, if a player wants to be a builder, they should be able to carry out the roleplay for the job and if it is sufficient, get paid a reasonable salary. Events are great to boost the playerbase, but they're not long-term and I don't think it's healthy to rely soley on events for players to join the server. I do believe also that Illegal factions bring a lot of the RP and players. @ResidentPeach recently made an illegal faction and I've already seen a lot of support and players jump on it so I hope that factions such as these are encouraged more and supported to keep it going & active.

never seen you about but welcome to owlgaming

Because there's no variation in SD vehicles.

Custom PD cruisers would be so much nicer. Currently we're having to make do with LSPD cruisers which is ugly. Other suggestions are nice. Makes the job in PD a lot nicer. Especially priors etc, pretty essential when conducting regular duties. Not true. Many of the cruisers are using the LSPD livery.

Yes. Ability to delete items should also be implemented.
