0:00Hello, hello.
0:02It's time to talk about a sore subject,
0:03namely, as probably became clear from
0:05the video title, the problems of our, so
0:07to speak, beloved project.
0:09This video is meant not only to point
0:10out the issues but also to gather
0:12feedback from the audience, so to speak
0:13. I'll try to divide the video into
0:15sections on functionality and rules,
0:16although that likely won't fully work
0:18out. Well, frustration has been building
0:19for months, everyone’s fed up, yet for
0:21some reason, they all stay silent and
0:22take it. And since everyone is silent
0:24and taking it, apparently, there’s no
0:26one else to speak up but me.
0:27And to make the feedback more obvious,
0:29don't be lazy and hit that like button
0:31and leave your review in the comments,
0:32regardless of whether you agree with me
0:34or not.
0:35If the video gets pushed, it means my
0:37several days of effort weren't in vain,
0:39gathering all this, talking to a bunch
0:40of people, and making this video
0:42accordingly. Let’s hope they hear us.
0:45And you, dear leaders, forgive me for
0:47being quite harsh in my statements today
0:49, but I can't do it any other way,
0:51because as I write all this, I remember
0:53everything at once, and there are no
0:54other emotions, my head is just about to
0:56explode.
0:58Reminding you of the best promo code "
1:00PIVA," it works on both Majestic and
1:01Radmir Online, entered either with the
1:03command/promo piva in chat or during
1:04registration. So, what am I actually
1:06talking about? Here I am talking about
1:08long-standing complex problems, some of
1:10which are simultaneously tied to both
1:12functionality and rules. Like, for
1:14example, Fort Zancudo deliveries and the
1:15Island. Let's start with the Island, as
1:17the situation there is simpler. In
1:18essence, state faction members have
1:20absolutely no motivation to push for
1:22that same Island. The state side gets
1:24nothing and loses nothing by defending
1:26it or just sitting in AFK.
1:28The Island needs a rework not only for
1:30that reason but also because right now
1:31the Island is just dots on the map where
1:33you can infinitely re-spawn and haul
1:34materials from.
1:36And the state members, other than for
1:38fun, have no incentive to defend this
1:39whole thing. To cut down on infinite
1:41re-spawns and provide an incentive for
1:42the state, we need to come up with
1:44bonuses for the state side for
1:45participating, at the very least
1:47individual rewards, and limit the number
1:48of material points for criminals to a
1:50specific amount. That is, on the day of
1:52the Island attack, each crime faction,
1:53hypothetically, has three attempts to
1:55capture a material point.
1:57If they start capturing a point and get
1:59pushed back, then it’s interrupted and
2:00one of their three attempts is used up.
2:03These are, so to speak, the simplest
2:05options. Next, we move on to Fort
2:07Zancudo. Just like on the island, there
2:08is a complete lack of incentive for
2:10state factions to defend the Fort, and
2:11then there are our miracle workers,
2:13Apollo. For the state side, everything
2:14is ruined by the rules. Since only 10
2:16people from each state faction can come
2:18to the Fort Zancudo defense, grouping
2:20exactly 10 people via DP or State is
2:22nonsense, because firstly, no one will
2:24gather, it’s just a hassle for everyone
2:26to do that.
2:28Secondly, even 40 people arriving there
2:30against the entire crime faction that
2:31attacks all at once—and there can be 300
2:34or even 400 of them on new servers—is
2:36just absurd.
2:37And if the whole state faction responds
2:39to a code, it’s impossible to control
2:40how many players will eventually show up
2:42, which leads to leaders getting
2:43reprimanded for having too many players
2:44.
2:45As a result, we get the following
2:47picture. Crime storms the Fort, divides
2:49the points among themselves,
2:50occasionally fighting over them, while
2:52SANG stands by and takes photos in the
2:54Safe Zone, sometimes trying to take back
2:56a point. Crime loads up the materials
2:58and drives off. And no one comes to
3:00defend.
3:01On 5 RP, we played for years; the whole
3:03state faction always came to the Fort at
3:05once, reacted, and often crime, even
3:06with two factions in one alliance, still
3:08struggled to take the Fort.
3:10But here, you see, the rules are just
3:12garbage, and as a result, the Fort is
3:14taken AFK almost constantly.
3:16Apollo, and we’ve been talking about
3:18this for over two years, but it’s all in
3:20vain.
3:21Note that there is no limit on the
3:22island, by the way, even though the
3:24activity is more or less the same, but
3:25there is one at the Fort. God forbid
3:27that after what I’ve just said, a limit
3:29appears on the island—I will personally
3:31take a dump on Apollo's doorstep. Moving
3:33on. Deliveries. Somehow, after I don't
3:35know how many years, we finally got
3:37through to the admins and beat the
3:39problem where state units would fight
3:40off one attack and, without being
3:42allowed to split up, would get hit by a
3:44second one immediately. Now, at the very
3:46least, they can split up, move on, and
3:48take the second fight there. Then again
3:50, you won't have time to split everyone
3:51, and you’ll end up heading there with
3:53fewer people. After the first attack,
3:54the state faction also has the right to
3:56call for backup on a delivery. However,
3:58once again, if more than 10 people show
4:00up, you get a reprimand.
4:02It's also impossible to control the
4:04arrivals, and just imagine, there were
4:07cases where admins said to make a second
4:09group and have them sit AFK as backup,
4:12ready to pull up if needed.
4:15Whoever said that, my friend, it’s like
4:17you don't even have the basics of a
4:18brain, nor any sign of intelligence.
4:20People are not going to sit AFK for
4:22several hours, while you're transporting
4:24supplies or crafting, waiting for a
4:25possible attack.
4:27And besides, it won't be a rarity when
4:29you tell 10 people from the second group
4:30to pull up, but more show up, because
4:32you can't see everyone in range, and the
4:34group might also include guys responding
4:35to the code who aren't even part of it.
4:39Ultimately, instead of 10 sheep, 12 show
4:41up, you get a reprimand again, although
4:43they say now that they don't give
4:44reprimands for minor off-roads, but that
4:46depends on the admin.
4:49Also, don't forget that the state
4:50faction by default has a rather low win
4:52rate, since it's almost always a bunch
4:54of randoms and noobs, unlike the
4:56well-coordinated crime crews.
4:58And if, after successfully repelling the
5:00first blockade, codes are sent without
5:02off-roaders, and other state players
5:04arrive—even without voice, without
5:06groups, without anything, just to help
5:09deliver the supply—they’ll still get
5:11shot down anyway, because they don't
5:13arrive as a single group, but however
5:15they can, and die just as disorganized.
5:17We’ve been bringing this issue to the
5:19admins unsuccessfully for about 2 years
5:21now.
5:23Moving on. Bank robberies.
5:26The activity is honestly just trash for
5:29the simple reason that it's
5:30fundamentally backward; even if you
5:33clear all positions around the bank and
5:35feel like you've practically won, it all
5:38comes down to a massive crowd trying to
5:40push a tiny 2013 interior—which wasn't
5:43designed for this activity—through a
5:46two-by-two corridor where guys just sit
5:48and pixel-peek, and even grenades don't
5:51really help deal with it.
5:54The bank interior needs a rework.
5:56For some reason, competitors fixed this
5:58properly 5 years ago, yet we're still
6:00sitting here like idiots in a two-by-two
6:02corridor, pixel-peeking.
6:04Moving on. House robberies.
6:06The system itself is kind of cool, not
6:08bad, they developed decent functionality
6:10for it.
6:11But the problem is that even flying
6:13around in admin mode, I often couldn't
6:15make it to the alarm in time.
6:17And if you hack it correctly, the
6:19notification doesn't even come through
6:21at all.
6:22Also, after playing for the last few
6:24days, I noticed that houses are hardly
6:25being robbed, which shows that it’s
6:27apparently not profitable.
6:30It needs fixing both in terms of rewards
6:32and functionality, since in most cases,
6:34state players simply can't react to it
6:36in time.
6:37Next up is business robberies, which
6:39we’ve also been talking about for
6:41several years. Two bums show up, point a
6:43gun at the bot, grab the first stack,
6:45and bolt. The lack of opportunity for
6:47state reaction is obvious.
6:49How many times have we told the devs to
6:51make the first stack drop 2 minutes
6:53after the robbery starts—it’s still
6:55useless.
6:57Next up, we have crime. We used to have
7:00five gangs and five mafias. Now we have
7:02eight families and five gangs.
7:04It was a shitty Game DS decision from
7:06the start to delete the mafias and give
7:07family-based factions their
7:08functionality, which partly killed
7:10faction content.
7:12Right now, on most servers, completely
7:15useless nobodies, who bring almost no
7:17value to server activity, hold mansions
7:19, and some scrub family with 50 or even
7:2220 online members undeservedly gets full
7:24faction functionality just because they
7:27play gang wars.
7:29And in their place, by the way, there
7:31could be a conventional mafia with an
7:33admin-appointed leader, more players,
7:35potentially more server activity, and so
7:36on.
7:38Personally, in my opinion and that of
7:40some other influential creators with
7:42significant gaming experience, we should
7:44leave only three mansions for the top
7:45three on the leaderboard.
7:48Meaning, those who are season
7:50prize-winners have the right to exist as
7:52a faction relatively independent of
7:54admins, possessing full crime
7:55functionality.
7:57That is, this should be a truly elite
7:59privilege on the server, not the default
8:01.
8:02In the view of many today, it is worth
8:04bringing back the mafia and additionally
8:06adding PvP activities against gangs for
8:08them.
8:10Also, some kind of ghetto rankings that
8:12apply exclusively to gangs and offer
8:14separate rewards and such, which would
8:16stimulate those very fights in the
8:18ghetto and the like.
8:20Well, at the very least, we definitely
8:22need to remove three of the eight
8:24mansions so that only five remain.
8:26But in any case, it’s better to bring
8:28back the mafia, because, I repeat, a
8:30huge number of completely unworthy
8:32scrubs on the project get faction
8:34functionality through gang wars.
8:38And there is also a huge problem with
8:40gang wars themselves: everything depends
8:42on them, namely, for the most part,
8:44family development and a bunch of other
8:46factors.
8:48In essence, on a competitive server with
8:50a free squad, the chance that you’ll
8:52take the territories you need on the
8:53gang war map is near zero.
8:56And even if you have a couple of extra
8:57thousand dollars a month, it's not a
8:59guarantee that your guys will be able to
9:01win anything at all.
9:03Mansions provide the full tablet
9:04functionality, plus additional slots, a
9:06large warehouse, a valet, and one-way
9:08green zones.
9:10It’s illogical that it’s the gang war
9:12players who get all these privileges and
9:14amenities, since, for the most part,
9:16this is needed by RP-active families and
9:18factions that generate server activity,
9:20not those grinding for their little
9:22squares in other dimensions.
9:25When families take a mansion, it’s an
9:27exit from AFK; recruitment opens, and RP
9:29content starts being played, because
9:31before getting a mansion, everyone sits
9:33AFK and often tries to take them just to
9:35play that same RP content, because
9:36without it, there is no functionality,
9:38which essentially kills server activity
9:40as a whole.
9:43Also, don't forget that without gang
9:44wars, you can't, in principle, use the
9:45materials that appear in your warehouses
9:47.
9:48You have to unlock crafts on the gang
9:50war map.
9:51So, you’ve spent hundreds of millions a
9:53month leveling up your family, but you
9:55still can't recraft supply materials
9:57without a mansion.
9:59Also, families are very often chosen by
10:01newcomers based on their mansion. That
10:03is, newbies and grinders join Yakuza, RM
10:05, and others, specifically picking those
10:07families because their mansion is
10:09popular.
10:10And they stay in the family that owns
10:13that mansion until they lose it, after
10:16which they leave and move to the new
10:18family that now owns that mansion.
10:22And often, let me remind you, these
10:24mansions are owned by absolute nobodies
10:25, while they could be held by an active
10:27faction that would attract tons of new
10:29players.
10:30Naturally, a family without a high
10:32demand is much smaller.
10:34Basically, most active RP families, even
10:36those who don't care about capture wars
10:38, deserve full functionality far more as
10:40admin-moderated factions than the "
10:42cappers" currently in their place who
10:44couldn't care less about the server,
10:45since their entire content revolves
10:47around a different dimension.
10:51That’s why the prerogative of having an
10:53unmoderated faction with full criminal
10:55functionality should be an
10:56ultra-privilege, granted only to the top
10:58three winners of a season, while mafias
11:01should eventually be brought back.
11:03Moving on to Nexel. I hope they don't
11:05rip my head off for talking about this
11:06Nexel. Anyway, here’s the gist of it. We
11:08have 5,000 slots on the server. Look,
11:11guys, 5,000 players are playing on one
11:13server simultaneously. But what’s
11:15actually good about these 5,000 slots?
11:17Is it that my Memphis pings periodically
11:19go over 1,000? Or maybe that our
11:21families flock to every new server while
11:23the previous ones slowly start to die?
11:26Maybe it's good that all leadership
11:27positions are still handed out through
11:28cronyism before the server even launches
11:29? Or maybe it's good that a ton of media
11:31figures are lining up for this cronyism
11:33, leaving an ordinary player with zero
11:35chance of getting in?
11:37But look, we’ve got eight mansions
11:39without a mafia that could have been
11:41active RP factions bringing life to the
11:42server, but they can't win mansions in
11:44captures, unlike the idiots who just
11:46play captures and couldn't care less
11:48about anything else.
11:50Stop letting every family move to new
11:52servers and cut back on the cronyism to
11:54the extent it exists now. A small
11:56correction here. Cronyism has always
11:58been everywhere, so there's no point in
12:00making a fuss about it.
12:01It’s just that here, it’s on such a
12:04massive scale that even media figures
12:06can't get a leadership spot through it,
12:09and something needs to be done, because
12:11forget Memphis—even on Orlando, media
12:14can't get a government spot because
12:16there's a damn queue.
12:19And what about ordinary players? I won't
12:22even go there. We also need to create an
12:24incentive system for leaders.
12:26Some unique leader case given at the end
12:28of their term with exclusive rewards, or
12:31other perks, so players have a motive to
12:33actually develop the faction, not just
12:35exist in it.
12:37How long and how much some whined,
12:39others cheered, and others gloated about
12:41the GTA 5 RP server merges, of which
12:43there have already been three.
12:45Did they have a positive impact on the
12:46project? I think more yes than no. And
12:49frankly, Majestic needs these merges
12:51just about as much. Not long ago, the
12:53sixteenth server, Denver, dropped to
12:55just 600 concurrent players, which is a
12:57super alarming sign. Do I need to
12:58explain what's happening on the older
13:00servers? I checked out a couple of them
13:02. 1,000 online on the third server,
13:03Chicago. Is it critical? Doesn't seem
13:05like it. But an event is running right
13:07now, and a big—or rather, huge—question
13:09is the quality of this online count.
13:10Even with those thousand, I'll note
13:12again, the server is a total ghost town
13:14during the event.
13:16And I'm not the only one who noticed the
13:17trend that online numbers in our
13:18industry in 2026 are dropping every
13:19single month.
13:21Not only are old players dropping off
13:22every month, but the influx of new ones
13:24isn't exactly great either. And where
13:26are we supposed to get new ones from?
13:27All the influencers have long been
13:28bought up.
13:30Ads with Litvin, Tomaev, and others
13:31sound hype, sure, but the question is
13:33their effectiveness, which we as players
13:35don't seem to feel much.
13:37Overall, it’s become much harder to pull
13:39traffic from anywhere, and I believe
13:41mergers are still necessary.
13:43Now let's move on to the rules. Oh, I’m
13:46about to dump a massive load of crap on
13:48this. Let's start soon, specifically
13:50with the leader warning system.
13:52A hundred-times rehashed, backward,
13:55bastardized piece of hackneyed garbage
13:58migrated from crappy SA-MP to 5 Star,
14:00then Red Age, and eventually Majestic.
14:04A piece of junk that was never suited
14:06for large groups or our current reality
14:08.
14:09It used to be absolute hell until we
14:12complained enough to change the "
14:14five-plus violation" rule, because you
14:16were constantly eating warnings for
14:19violations by high-ranks. And when you
14:21have a roster, like on my leadership
14:23term, of fifteen hundred or even two or
14:24three thousand people, warnings used to
14:26rain down at the speed of light, with
14:28almost no way to clear them. And even
14:30now, there aren't many ways to clear
14:31them. So what do we do instead of
14:33reworking this pile of crap?
14:35Exactly, we fix it with temporary hacks
14:36, simplifying punishments for mass
14:38violations and high-rank violations,
14:39removing leader penalties if the breach
14:41doesn't warrant a ban or warn.
14:43We aren't fighting the problem itself,
14:45we're just pouring mayonnaise on a piece
14:47of crap to make it easier to swallow.
14:51Essentially, we wipe warnings once a
14:53week through faction activity, admin
14:55tasks, and by making a crappy promo
14:57video for the faction once a term, which
14:59no one needs and gets tossed in the
15:01trash as soon as the warning is gone.
15:04Neither players nor newcomers even know
15:06this video exists; they never see it
15:08anywhere. It doesn’t showcase the
15:11faction's work, nor does it attract any
15:13new players. It’s just another
15:15half-baked crutch to make clearing
15:17warnings a bit easier.
15:20A long time ago, FiveM RP invented a
15:22point system, which isn't perfect, but
15:24works quite well and is much better than
15:27on Majestic, where you get point
15:29deductions for violations by the faction
15:31, the leader, or high-ranks.
15:34You start at zero, earn 100 points, good
15:35job; lose 100, and you're out. There are
15:37various admin battle passes, tasks, and
15:40other things that allow a faction to
15:42clear their points for activity almost
15:44every day or every few days.
15:47The only problem that exists there and
15:49here is that when a leader commits an IC
15:51violation and gets tried and jailed,
15:53they get sanctions applied to that same
15:55system, which is fundamentally wrong.
15:59Sanctions received by leaders during IC
16:01proceedings should have a separate
16:03metric, and a leader who receives them
16:05shouldn't be allowed to remove them
16:07until their term ends, otherwise it
16:09leads to leader lawlessness and clear
16:11abuse of power, which has been proven
16:14repeatedly over many years.
16:16Especially regarding leaders who are
16:19media partners and have almost complete
16:21immunity, doing whatever they want
16:24however they want. Got convicted three
16:26times in a term? You get three warnings
16:28, you're out. That's it. And by the way
16:30, don't you think it's long past time to
16:33move all this to the functionality level
16:35?
16:36If an admin gives a leader a warning or
16:39lowers their points, it gets logged in
16:41the tablet, and a series of
16:43system-calculated tasks are attached,
16:45defining the activities required to
16:47functionally remove the warning or
16:50restore the point balance.
16:52It's the same problem with the promotion
16:55system.
16:56We're still stuck grinding with
16:58screenshots and forms in Discord, while
17:00mobile GTA projects realized long ago
17:02that you don't need promotion logs,
17:04players shouldn't be punished for
17:06favoritism, and no one should have to
17:09mess around with screenshots and other
17:11nonsense.
17:13Everything is integrated into the
17:15functionality, where the player sees the
17:17tasks set by the system for the next
17:19rank, completes the activities, and once
17:21the quota is met, goes to leadership,
17:22who doesn't have to check their damn
17:24screenshots.
17:26The system has already calculated
17:27everything for them, and they just press
17:29a button on the tablet to accept the
17:31report and the rank is increased. Now
17:33let's move on to how the rules are
17:35actually written.
17:36A huge problem, like a bull in a china
17:39shop, is that Polo often writes rules
17:41not based on what players need, but
17:43based on what whiners are flooding his
17:46DMs with.
17:48And sometimes, like in the case of
17:49Russia Online, rules are just [ __ ] out
17:51for the sake of it and then justified by
17:53claiming that players asked for them.
17:55Let me explain with examples. So on Erol
17:57, a rule suddenly appeared that an
17:59interrogation cannot be conducted
18:00without an investigator.
18:02I'm sitting there as a player and just
18:04can't understand, what is this, why this
18:06rule?
18:06Who is this investigator? Why are they
18:09needed during an interrogation? Can I be
18:10an investigator if I'm an officer at the
18:11Ministry of Internal Affairs? Yes, I can
18:13. Can I be one as an FSB agent? I can.
18:15Can I be an investigator if I'm a member
18:17of the Investigative Committee?
18:19Naturally. Who is an investigator anyway
18:21, and why do they need to be there?
18:23Maybe it's tied to the rule like on
18:25Majestic, where the investigator is a
18:26CID agent during a crime interrogation
18:28and their presence is mandatory.
18:30It’s not written in the rule. I ask Polo
18:32, and he says he has no clue, Rich
18:34slapped it in there. I ask Rich, he says
18:36no, it's not related to CIDs. I ask what
18:38the point of the rule is and who this
18:40investigator is supposed to be. No
18:41concrete answer comes. I ask why the
18:44rule was [ __ ] out in the first place. He
18:46says the players asked for it. Which
18:47players? What exactly did they ask you
18:49for? Why this shitty rule even exists is
18:52still a mystery. Even if players asked
18:54for it, that's no reason to rely solely
18:57on their opinion and implement it. There
18:59are other funnies with the rules too.
19:02They went and limited the USSS guys in
19:03everything, limited the SANGs so they
19:05couldn't drive around the map without a
19:07reason, and could only drive on the
19:08highway.
19:09And what was the result? The USSS is an
19:12absolutely dead faction. There are 4,000
19:14players online on the server, and I have
19:16five people online in the USSS. Why?
19:18Because it's crap, because there's
19:20absolutely nothing to do there. And you
19:22cut it all down with rules on top of
19:24that. If you restricted one thing, give
19:25an alternative for another. But there is
19:27no alternative. The SANGs are the same
19:29thing; they either drive supplies or
19:31maybe do some RP in their fort, and
19:33that's it. There’s nothing to do in the
19:35faction. Unless an attack on the island
19:37or the Fort happens. Why were the SANGs
19:39cut off from the rest of the map?
19:40Apparently, they whined that there were
19:41too many state agents on some server, on
19:43the map, or something like that.
19:45Otherwise, there’s no other explanation
19:46. Take the whining, for example. State
19:48agents were cuffing people in the casino
19:50—they whined, and it was banned. They
19:51were cuffing people in the arena—they
19:52whined, and it was banned. Well, not
19:53entirely, partially, it doesn't matter.
19:55I'm a newcomer, I open the rules and
19:57read the interpretation. Intentionally
19:59disrupting gameplay for other players is
20:00considered an abuse of game mechanics.
20:02For instance, making arrests inside a
20:04casino. What counts as intentional
20:06disruption of gameplay? What kind of
20:08concept is that?
20:09I honestly don't understand, so I end up
20:12asking in a report.
20:14Creating extra work for the admins.
20:16And heaven forbid some useless helper or
20:19another noob like me answers my report
20:21with complete nonsense.
20:23Fine, let's say I learned that arresting
20:26in a casino is forbidden, and that
20:27bothering everyone around you—like
20:29demanding ID or the removal of masks
20:31from everyone—is considered harassment.
20:34So I get that. And now I'm no longer in
20:36a government faction, just a regular
20:37player. I know that I can't be arrested
20:39inside a casino.
20:40I quit the faction, walk into a casino
20:42with a wanted level, a cop shows up,
20:44cuffs me inside the interior, and hauls
20:46me off to jail.
20:47I file a report, and the cop isn't
20:49punished. Why aren't they punished?
20:51Because it's according to some
20:52regulation that isn't written anywhere,
20:54or maybe it's buried in some admin's
20:55Telegram channel.
20:57If an officer started tracking you and
20:59you entered a casino, they can cuff you
21:02and drag you out to take you to the
21:04station.
21:06Then some helper, strictly following the
21:08literal rule text, will probably give
21:11that officer an unnecessary ban.
21:13These hidden regulations are a huge
21:16problem.
21:17At best, they just cause unnecessary
21:19reports, which admins already have
21:21enough of.
21:22At worst, they lead to tons of unfair
21:25punishments. Back to me being a newbie,
21:28I saw a player break the law in front of
21:30me and escape.
21:31I recorded it, met him the next day,
21:33cuffed him, and got banned.
21:36And in these damn hidden regulations,
21:38there’s an explanation that you can't
21:40cuff a cop for what they did yesterday
21:42without a criminal case.
21:44Do you know how this rule, which is
21:46hidden God knows where, even came to be
21:48?
21:49An admin decided it wasn't okay for
21:51players to hold blackmail on someone and
21:53cuff them only when it’s convenient.
21:57And, of course, such moves ruin setups,
21:59like when they cuff faction leaders or
22:01something similar.
22:03But overall, it's a typical case:
22:04someone whined in private messages, so
22:06he issued a ban.
22:07If he’d only added it to the rules, but
22:09it’s an unspoken ban—it’s impossible to
22:11learn about it anywhere except through
22:13DMs with senior admins.
22:15A newbie wouldn't even think that they
22:17need to go somewhere to verify or find
22:18out about something like that.
22:21If they even open the rules, that’s a
22:23miracle, but even if they do, nothing is
22:25written there. Apollo says there are 400
22:27trillion hidden regulations, but it's
22:29impossible to fit everything into the
22:31rules. Ta-da.
22:33Of course, you can't fit everything in
22:35the rules, no doubt about that, but
22:36admins, for example, have admin info.
22:39By the way, I could make a separate
22:40video on these hidden regulations,
22:41showing how admins explain things to
22:42each other in their channels, let me
22:44know if you're interested.
22:45The point is that, at the very least,
22:47the admins have these explanations, at
22:48least some of them. Even there, those
22:50explanations contradict each other and
22:52contradict the rules. Some of it is just
22:55complete nonsense.
22:56We were just looking at this recently,
22:58breaking it down, and even there, people
22:59don't fully understand what to do or how
23:01.
23:02And if your admins don't understand
23:04everything, even the leads, what can you
23:06expect from regular players who don't
23:07have these explanations?
23:10So tell me, Apollo, why on earth should
23:13I, as a newbie, be punished for actions
23:15that aren't forbidden by the rules but
23:17are forbidden by some invisible
23:19regulation I have no access to?
23:21And moving on. 1.9 GO rules: didn't call
23:23a lawyer, get a warn. How did this rule
23:25appear? The same way it always does.
23:28People whined, and it was rolled out.
23:30Just like many other state organization
23:32rules, it’s designed so that instead of
23:34roleplaying and figuring things out,
23:35state employees can just be punished.
23:39Of course, no crim monkey is going to go
23:41file a complaint with the prosecutor's
23:43office or a lawsuit in court, but he
23:44must be offered a lawyer.
23:47And so, instead of dealing with
23:49complaints, he can just send a ticket in
23:50a report, and I'll just get a warn for
23:51it.
23:52Why bother roleplaying and wasting your
23:54time?
23:56But wasting a state employee's time,
23:57while spewing a hundred tons of OOC
23:59subtext at them, including personal
24:00attacks when you started a deathmatch,
24:02got dropped, and got cuffed—that’s
24:04always welcome.
24:05We’ll do anything to make sure our crim
24:07community doesn’t have to worry about
24:09anything. Here is another practically
24:10direct quote from management. "Although
24:13they deathmatch without consequences, we
24:14let them do it." End of quote. We’ve got
24:17200 people online in the arena where you
24:18don’t need to charge, no one will cuff
24:20you or jail you, so let them sit there
24:22and mess around, God bless them. Can we
24:24limit the time spent in the arena per
24:26day, so these AFK vegetables start
24:28playing the game, shooting in the ghetto
24:30, hanging on highways, robbing houses,
24:32farming cash, and buying cars and gear?
24:34So these vegetables become active
24:36players. Can we? But why? Just think
24:39about it, administration, why is it that
24:41on every server you have significantly
24:42more crime than state faction members?
24:44Why are the highways half-empty? Why is
24:46there no activity in the ghetto? Because
24:48, honestly, comrades, you’ve practically
24:51done it all yourselves. There’s your
24:53consequence-free deathmatching. Here’s
24:55your 101 modes in the arena.
24:57Here’s your goddamn thrice-cursed
24:59esports.
25:00Here’s your miserable MCL server with
25:02captures.
25:04All mass clashes between crime and state
25:06factions today happen in separate
25:07dimensions during timed activities with
25:09no consequences, or at supply runs and
25:11the island.
25:13On the server, outside of events, a
25:15state employee really has nothing to do
25:17. A couple of criminals on the road, if
25:19we're lucky, maybe a kidnapping or a
25:20robbery without AFK once every few hours
25:22. The crime faction is busy playing with
25:24themselves in private dimensions. A
25:25special thanks, of course, to Kiver, bro
25:28.
25:29I couldn’t care less about your esports
25:31, which has rotted to its core with
25:33these pathetic cheat-reduces, DMA, and
25:35all that other garbage.
25:38And yet, you’re still paying out
25:40millions of rubles in prize money for it
25:41.
25:42And frankly, I’m just baffled. Moving on
25:44, let’s continue with the rules for
25:46state structures. 1.10.1, 1.10.2—every
25:49state worker's favorite rule. The rules
25:52are generally set up so that you're
25:54sitting in Demorgan for every single
25:56sneeze. God forbid you accidentally
25:58slipped up or were rude to someone
25:59during a drive-by. Meanwhile, the crime
26:02faction is berating you inside the
26:04police station until they're blue in the
26:06face, which is essentially Power Gaming
26:08, because obviously, not every detained
26:10scumbag would talk to officers like that
26:12. This whole thing is just a mess. For a
26:14state worker, you see, you need an RP
26:16situation or a biography, but criminals
26:18can just Power Game without any of that
26:20. Oh, right, I think biographies were
26:22abolished anyway. Well, that's not the
26:24point. Even if they existed, nine times
26:26out of ten you’ll get jailed, and maybe
26:28one time out of ten they’ll actually
26:30check for a biography.
26:32I understand it’s not okay for a state
26:33worker to act like a jerk, constantly
26:35insulting people and being destructive
26:36in front of other citizens and staff.
26:39But to suffocate us with this crap when
26:42your game has arguably the most toxic
26:44community of all existing games—that is
26:47just too much.
26:49When this was introduced, we heard one
26:52narrative—that they want to see state
26:54faction members act normally, sticking
26:56to some RP model, you know, close to IRL
26:59.
27:00But in reality, it turns out that
27:02whenever we see topics in admin
27:04complaints or elsewhere, where they harp
27:06on about that same RP, we get replies
27:08from the admins themselves saying it's
27:10not even RP here anymore, but more like
27:12an RPG and blah-blah-blah.
27:15But when it’s more like an RPG here,
27:17when criminals constantly act like that
27:18, meta-gaming and so on and so forth.
27:20And you suppress the state employee so
27:22much that they can't even say an extra
27:24word anywhere. But that’s stupid and
27:26it’s nonsense.
27:28You’re just turning the state employee
27:29into a punching bag who constantly has
27:31to swallow all that bullying, negativity
27:33, OOC insults, and the rest, without
27:34having the ability to answer back or
27:36anything.
27:37Especially considering that we have an
27:38RPG environment here. Plus, IRL, police
27:40officers don't exactly communicate so
27:42politely, not under the conditions they
27:43force on the local state employees here
27:45.
27:46Not to mention what they do with other
27:47types, who are out there killing people
27:49, robbing them, and so on.
27:51I’ll tell you a story that happened in
27:53Khabarovsk with one of my, so to speak,
27:55infamous acquaintances.
27:57So, he was renting a room in an old
27:59lady's house, and at one point, he and
28:01his buddy broke in at 5:00 AM, sat the
28:03old lady on a stool, beat her face in,
28:05forced her to tell them where the money
28:07was, took the cash, and, as they say,
28:09vanished. Naturally, the cops found them
28:11. And what do you think, were they being
28:13polite with them? Of course not.
28:15They, as we say, cuffed them, dragged
28:17them out to the sticks, took them to a
28:18vacant lot, beat the hell out of them,
28:20and only then took them to the station.
28:22Or what, do you think our SWAT teams,
28:24when detaining all sorts of murderers,
28:26drug dealers, and others, are being nice
28:27to them? Yeah, definitely not.
28:29They slam their faces into the floor,
28:31yell, curse, kick their kidneys in, and
28:33only later at the station do they tell
28:34them they have the right to remain
28:36silent.
28:37It’s easy to talk about rules, you know
28:38, it’s not hard to flap your gums.
28:40Why don't you try playing as a state
28:41employee for a week, soak up all that
28:43negativity and the crap that gets poured
28:45onto them by a ton of various scumbags.
28:47Suffer through the pressure from other
28:48state employees and a ton of
28:49restrictions. Put yourself in the shoes
28:51of a beginner. How much desire would he
28:53have to wallow in all this [ __ ]? How
28:55long would he last in this state faction
28:56?
28:57I think the number is just about zero.
29:01Why does your project always have way
29:03more crims than cops? Because crime
29:05factions have practically no
29:07restrictions at all.
29:09But you'll probably hit me with your
29:10usual argument that cops have handcuffs
29:12, so they need to be suppressed to
29:14prevent abuse.
29:16Except you don't restrict them using
29:18anything related to the handcuffs
29:20themselves, you restrict freedom by
29:23piling on every damn thing you can,
29:25every piece of crap people whine to you
29:28about in DMs.
29:30So you end up with almost nothing but
29:32useless bums in the police who get owned
29:34by crims 24/7, and your shitty
29:35suppression drives newbies away from
29:37these factions instantly.
29:39How am I supposed to bring in and retain
29:41players for the police, boost stats, and
29:43all that?
29:44Never mind me, look at those who have
29:46even lower stats than mine and a smaller
29:48referral base.
29:50If people join the project because of us
29:52, they don't stay in the police because
29:54admins constantly [ __ ] them over for
29:56every single mistake, for every damn
29:58sneeze.
29:59They have to tolerate and eat all the
30:01[ __ ] from crims who aren't limited by
30:03anything.
30:05An inexperienced cop can spend half
30:07their gameplay in Demorgan or banned,
30:09while also spending extra time on the
30:10forum appealing shitty decisions made by
30:13admins who don't even understand your
30:15own regulations.
30:16And what looks even dumber is how some
30:18of these rules get introduced.
30:21There are certain things, like saving
30:23dirt on a cop to arrest them at a
30:25convenient time, which some players
30:27abuse in a scummy way, but that's a
30:29small minority—the majority don't do it
30:31at all.
30:33But since someone uses it, you obviously
30:35have to shut it down for everyone. And
30:37impose a punishment so harsh that people
30:38will be terrified to even try. Naturally
30:40, while also stripping the ability to
30:42use it from those who actually did it
30:43the right way. A couple of precedents
30:46pop up, a few players stir up some [ __ ]
30:48. So you drop a rule, slap on a ban, and
30:50toss in an unwritten regulation on top
30:53so that neither the admins nor the
30:55players understand a damn thing. And it
30:57turns out just great. Some rules feel
30:59like they're written just to get a cop
31:02banned for no reason. Like, for example
31:04, they introduced the rule that you're
31:06required to show your badge.
31:08And our buddy, brother "Olezhe 77,"
31:10makes another one of his videos and
31:11casually drops a chat message telling
31:13you to show your ID.
31:15You won't see it, and naturally, you end
31:17up sitting in Demorgan. Awesome, just
31:19pure bliss.
31:20Even if he says it via voice chat, what
31:22is the point of issuing an OOC
31:24punishment for it, if when appealing
31:26your actions as a government official,
31:27your static ID above your head is
31:29already treated as an identification
31:31badge by the rules, and you are
31:32identified regardless of whether you
31:34showed your ID or not?
31:36They added a feature to assign
31:38department tags in the matrix for our
31:40convenience. Okay, thanks. But, damn it
31:42, they went and tacked on an OOC
31:44punishment for the lack of a department
31:46tag on the ID card.
31:48Like, what kind of substances are you on
31:50and what state of mind are you in to sit
31:51there and write this [ __ ] garbage?
31:54I swear, I just don't understand.
31:56Do you have absolutely zero
31:57understanding that the lack of a
31:59department tag doesn't hinder further
32:01proceedings in any way?
32:03And only in the case of an obstacle that
32:05makes it impossible to continue the
32:07proceedings should an OOC punishment be
32:09issued. Do you have no understanding of
32:11that at all, or what? Is a tumbleweed
32:12rolling around in your head, or what is
32:14wrong with you? Look at this screenshot
32:16. This is your head admin responding.
32:19I’ll issue a warrant, jail 10 people,
32:21delete it from the forum, and you won't
32:22be able to find a trace of it. Further
32:24proceedings become impossible. That is
32:26what should be punished with an OOC
32:28penalty. And you know, it is actually
32:30already punished with an OOC penalty
32:32anyway.
32:33But since this is your latest obnoxious
32:35hidden regulation, even your head admin
32:37has no clue how it works.
32:40You're really churning out rules there,
32:42buddy.
32:45Every fifth crime bastard, while baiting
32:47you into an insult, switches to OOC,
32:48brings the dialogue into the OOC realm,
32:50and immediately writes a report.
32:52And god forbid, when an admin arrives in
32:54the context of this already OOC dialogue
32:56—well, partially OOC, with an OOC
32:58subtext, let's say—you slip up and
33:00mention some meta-gaming information,
33:02get muted, can't conduct proceedings
33:04with a lawyer, and are forced to release
33:06the freak who was trying to deathmatch
33:08you 10 minutes ago. And if you don't
33:10release him, you get a warn. And if god
33:12forbid you [ __ ] something back at him in
33:14response, you get a punishment for some
33:16"informal communication."
33:18Informal communication, god damn it,
33:20which even your own admins on your
33:22servers, the seniors who write the admin
33:25info and interpret the rules, don't
33:27understand at all, and they write
33:29different instructions on every server
33:31for who, what, and how to punish.
33:35And it would be one thing if your admins
33:37understood something from their own
33:39interpretations in the admin info, which
33:41, by the way, are often written
33:42incorrectly by the seniors anyway, but a
33:44player on their own, even based on the
33:46full interpretation of the rule,
33:47literally cannot understand these
33:49boundaries of informal and formal
33:50communication in any way.
33:53It has always burned me that in the
33:55process of an arrest, the admin feels
33:57obligated to punish you for any minor
33:59violation.
34:01Look, if someone is dropping slurs,
34:03talking about moms, or abusing features
34:05, fine, but what is the problem with
34:07letting a player finish the scene and
34:08punishing them afterward unless there's
34:10a major violation?
34:12Even if they’re just standing there
34:14saying some nasty stuff, it’s a total
34:15mystery why you have to jump in.
34:18You guys clearly don’t think about the
34:20fact that you’re wasting more of the
34:22detained player’s time, because the cop
34:24who already issued the wanted level will
34:27just get punished, then once they’re out
34:29of jail, they’ll go back and harass that
34:32same player out of spite and arrest them
34:34anyway.
34:36In the end, the detained player who
34:38filed the report is just as stupid,
34:40they’ll waste another 20-plus minutes of
34:42their time, but they’ll still end up in
34:44jail.
34:45Why did they understand this on PeterP,
34:46but here it's like nobody gives a damn?
34:49And every scumbag has memorized a manual
34:51on how and why to get a cop banned, how
34:54to bait them, and which rules to use to
34:56get them punished.
34:58All that stuff about lawyers, reading
35:00out statutes, showing badges, and so on
35:02.
35:03And literally every other arrest,
35:05they’re baiting cops, and the cops keep
35:06getting thrown in jail for it.
35:09And you’re happy to help, sitting there
35:10spamming your stupid rules just for the
35:12hell of it. Like Bubnov mentioned the
35:14Miranda rights, saying you can’t read
35:16them out in chat here.
35:18You have to be a blind, backward idiot
35:20not to see when a cop is pasting your
35:23rights into the chat, none of which you
35:25ever use anyway except for the lawyer.
35:29They whined, so it got added. Apollo
35:31will be fine.
35:33And, you know, a bunch of different
35:35rules and crappy hidden regulations—
35:37many of which I didn’t even mention—
35:39mean not only do players not understand
35:41them, but admins who come from that
35:43player base give out wrong punishments
35:45every day or don't punish at all when
35:48they should.
35:50But when even the head admins don't
35:52understand certain parts of the
35:54regulations, and write admin-info that
35:56contradicts itself or the rules, that's
35:58just way too much.
36:00Do you realize you've created so much
36:02garbage that no one is capable of
36:04managing it properly anymore?
36:08Do you realize it’s not okay when Deputy
36:10Head Admins or senior admins come to me
36:12or Clance in DMs and ask how this or
36:14that is supposed to work?
36:16It’s not okay when some "Horror-King" GA
36:18of a server explains a regulation to a
36:20player in DMs that he doesn't even
36:22understand himself.
36:24After which I have to run to Paul,
36:26explain that it’s total nonsense, they
36:28agree with me, and then the "
36:29Horror-King" changes what he told the
36:31player.
36:32It’s not normal that when I kick people
36:34I don't like from the faction during the
36:36day, some idiot chief admin tells me I
36:38can't do that. They try to punish me
36:41with both lawsuits and OOC sanctions.
36:44After that, I have to go through
36:46high-level administration to get the
36:48Head Admin and Chief to explain that
36:50it's total garbage, and that no one can
36:52pursue me for this under the rules, let
36:54alone in-character.
36:56It’s not normal that I, an ordinary
36:58player, understand a set of rules better
37:00than your own senior administration.
37:04And it's a good thing I have direct
37:05contact with the management and top
37:06admins, where I can resolve everything
37:08quickly and get the administration
37:09slapped on the wrist.
37:11And most importantly, why do I
37:12understand all this better than the
37:14senior admins?
37:16Because I'm a player, because I've been
37:17banned for every single shitty rule, and
37:19I have a ton of experience with it.
37:22Not because I read the rules well and
37:25memorized them, but because I got
37:27hammered for violating every shitty rule
37:29and every crappy hidden regulation,
37:31often without even knowing that's how it
37:33actually works.
37:36And it's absolutely not normal when a
37:38player only starts to fully understand
37:41this whole process after racking up a
37:43bunch of punishments.
37:45But there is a problem of a different
37:46scale with this, too.
37:48Because the longer some scum on admin
37:50duty sits in their Chief position, the
37:52more they believe in themselves, and the
37:53more convinced they are that they
37:55understand everything better than anyone
37:57else and stick to their guns.
38:00As a result, I can no longer stay calm
38:02when a stupid, clueless animal sits
38:03there arguing with me, thinking they
38:05understand something better than I do.
38:09The result is that I send their mother
38:11to the cemetery, I get a 90-day hard ban
38:13on the server, and then I go to the
38:14senior admins, and the scum who thought
38:16they knew everything gets a smack on
38:18their clueless head.
38:20Set aside one of the nineteen servers,
38:22we'll write some rules for it, and they
38:24can be used in a test. Maybe then you’ll
38:26finally realize that you don’t
38:28understand your shitty rules better than
38:30everyone else, and this build of rules
38:32will eventually be moved to the main
38:34Majestic server.
38:35Because no matter how much you listen to
38:37feedback or think you understand, don't
38:39forget that you aren't players and you
38:40don't live in this environment, so you
38:42can't just make unilateral conclusions
38:43about forming project rules and
38:45functionality.
38:46Take the raid functionality we just got
38:48, for example. What did Polo do? He just
38:50scrapped the raid rules. Now our entire
38:52crime faction can, without any alliances
38:53, group up to wipe out groups of
38:55government agents and repel raids for
38:56all crime factions at once. And I start
38:58asking around, like, what's going on?
39:00Why did this even come to mind? Why was
39:02it removed? The devs say it’s an admin
39:04decision. I’m like, oh, great.
39:07Then I get an explanation from another
39:09dev that it’s a big system that will be
39:11used and integrated everywhere, but it’s
39:12still in the planning stages.
39:14And apparently, a lightbulb went off in
39:16their head that it would be normal for
39:18the entire state faction to be on raids
39:20against the entire crime faction. To say
39:22that Alamantik and I were stunned by
39:24this is an understatement.
39:27And here I am to all these comrades who
39:29, by their own admission, have a good
39:31enough understanding of the game and its
39:33gameplay, with 5,000 hours played—which
39:35they think is plenty, though it’s
39:37completely unclear how many of those
39:39hours were spent on state supply runs,
39:41captures, raids, drops, and other
39:43activities, and how many were just spent
39:45standing around in admin mode or testing
39:47systems while AFK.
39:50And I am honestly sitting there
39:51explaining that, guys, you don’t have
39:53the level of understanding that is
39:54required.
39:55Consult with community leaders, consult
39:57with the players.
39:59If you understood it at a sufficient
40:00level, I wouldn’t have to sit here and
40:02explain basic things: that the state
40:04faction is a ragtag bunch of randoms,
40:05full of helpless players who can’t even
40:07gear up on their own and are used to
40:09getting everything from the warehouses.
40:11They don’t even know how to track models
40:14that barely slide anymore.
40:16And often the entire state mob can lose
40:18a raid to a single alliance of two
40:19factions, yet you give eight factions
40:21the chance to defend one spawn point.
40:23Your state faction will never, ever win
40:26a raid like that. Don’t confuse a raid
40:28with martial law, where it’s the entire
40:30state against all of crime and there’s a
40:31mobile HQ in the ghetto that the state
40:33can constantly re-arm from.
40:35Don’t forget that the only martial law
40:37on an active server that was completely
40:39won by the state was under my leadership
40:41on the tenth server when it opened.
40:45And even that was only won because they
40:46didn’t attack all at once, but in groups
40:48of two or three factions.
40:50And you want every raid to be held in
40:52the format of that kind of martial law,
40:54without a mobile warehouse, and expect
40:56the state players to somehow still win
40:58it. I shouldn’t have to explain all this
41:00to you if, as you claim, you have a
41:02sufficient understanding of gameplay and
41:04game design. Consult with community
41:06leaders, notify us about upcoming
41:08releases, and grant access to test
41:10servers so we can test builds before
41:12they go live. Because you make it today
41:14, and tomorrow the players get a
41:16negative experience, but they could have
41:19had a positive one if we’d had access to
41:21the private build before launch, and it
41:24wouldn’t have been released in the state
41:27it was.
41:28Don't think that you understand
41:29everything better than everyone else,
41:31and don't think you have more than
41:32enough gaming experience to understand
41:34everything exactly as it is.
41:36Because we have already seen those who
41:37thought they knew everything better than
41:38everyone else. And where are they all
41:40now, those who thought that way? No one
41:42hears anything about them at all anymore
41:44. That is all.
41:45I hope I am heard and that things move
41:47in the right direction, because my
41:49patience has been burning out over all
41:50of this for months now.
41:52I am done.
