So, I was reading the Reddit Q&A forum, and noticed that there was a question about armored vehicles. The response was that maybe S.W.A.T would have armored vans, but other than than their wasn't any. My question is, would players be able to steal an armored S.W.A.T van and drive it into a warehouse somewhere to use for some kind of heist they plan later on? This is assuming they disable any trackers and lose the heat.

Everyone stop fighting. JamesLuck covers it in this thread. Hope this settles it.

So, I saw a few posts about this on The Hideout, do you think there will be a way to make a fake ID or other generally forged documents? I would like to know because these kinds of things are very important for keeping a low profile.

Up into nine figures for politicians huh? I guess those would be harder contracts, but to be completely honest I would probably at most give a seven digit figure, since that is still more than enough to set someone up for life. But I always assume that prices are to change as things come around

I have a question about making/selling art along with who can purchase it. If I make art on one server, can people purchase that from another server? Being that there is a 300 player cap to a server, if there was a specific product I saw in a video of some sort or on a live-stream, would I have to go to the specific server to purchase that item/reproduction, or could I buy it at any vendor from a different server?

I think just having a large medical fee depending on what they did to you and some sort of recovery period from your injuries. That way you could simply just have a lot of close encounters with death rather than actually dieing.

I imagine a sort of Deep Web being developed here for criminals. Websites to sell illegal goods, gun trades, ect.

I honestly need to get off of the forums at this hour... I swear this game and it's concept is just too good, it's keeping me up before finals. Anyways, I keep leaving replies on all kinds of forum topics and stuff, it's great to be a part of this community! I'm probably going to go to sleep now, since this whole post is essentially just me being tired... and is really kind of counterproductive, since now I'm staying up making this post... Anyways, hope everyone has a great night/day/evening/afternoon/whenever you are reading this. Signing off, Samantha

So, I noticed that the Police made their own discord channel. SO I decided, why not get one for the criminals too? It's the Criminal Underground channel. Link below. If you want your own chat room, just PM me on the forum or on discord. A few rules to go over however: No racism of any kind. We are a friendly community for everyone. Do not fight or argue over little things. We should be civilized adults people. No NSFW content is allowed! If people don't want to see it, they shouldn't have to. Keep it to PMs. Feel free to join! https://discord.gg/g8bvn3T

Just doubled down, didn't see the post that someone made already having a discord x.x Sorry about that EDIT: I still prefer mine, as it actually has rules.

The problem with outright gun bans is that it doesn't stop criminals from getting guns, it just raises the price they have to pay. The black market is always willing and open to sell a gun with a removed serial number, and as long as it is concealed properly, the owner of the gun doesn't have to let anyone know it is even there. Then in the event of a crime, how would someone defend themselves? Background checks are the safest way to keep civilians armed and secured, and still keep criminals from getting guns.

I love Ray Narvaez Jr.. Dude is freaking cool.

Man, so many things that you could pour money into building an empire. Like, just think about it right, you could have an entire cartel dealing drugs, own a casino with your name on it, sell clothes and furniture in your product line, and still have room to buy and sell real estate and go clubbing on the side. This. Game. Is. Awesome.

Man, this sounds like it's coming together just fine! I would definately like to join in on this kind of job. Man, I am getting myself into all kinds of work, but I guess I'd rather be busy than bored. I could teach Financing and classes of that sort, being that my mother was a CPA and I take a lot of interest in money and cash flow and finances, ways to save money, your 401k, if it has to do with money, I probably know it Would be fun ^v^

How about womens apparel? I do plan on buying some high end, maybe we could see some dresses or women's business attire?

I can only guess that dirty money can and will be a bit of a problem. So I am here for the proposal of The Laundromat. Didn't know whether or not to post this here or in business, because it kind of fits both. I plan on opening up a clothing line, some hopefully nice looking clothes to keep all of you criminals looking nice and sharp. Of course, we might fudge our profits a little bit... Give the benefit right unto you! We at The Laundromat plan on giving our customers a 75 cent on the dollar exchange, which crushes the laundry industry high of 50 cents on the dollar. Our motto here is "It only costs 25 cents to do your laundry!" Will be looking forward to all of our potential customers, and hopefully some people looking for employment. Like most clothing and crafts companies, we need designers. So I extend my hand to all of you crafty criminals, get some designs going and let's clean up our dirty dollars!

Yes, except less the idea of it being a physical laundromat, but rather normal businesses like a clothing and furnishings all-around department store, using that to cook the books and make the profits look larger than they actually are. Then, distributing all of the money back out to those who asked it to be cleaned! The whole idea and slogan however comes from a laundromat, you go in, pay your 25 cents, clean your clothes, and leave. Same deal. Come in, pay your 25 cents, get your 75 cents back clean and spendable, and do that for every dollar you want to clean.

Men only club huh? Damn. I'll try not to take down the "No gurls allowed" Sign No but in all seriousness, I think it's pretty cool. Stay gentle, men. (It's a pun, laugh)

This brings me back to the proposed idea of Vigilantism.

Well, I've only delved a little bit into game development. It's hard work. Motion capture definately would help speed up the process.

I like it! Kind of like a military surplus store. Or a thrift shop. Depends on who is buying what...

I like it, but it would be a lot of dev work. I'm sure they could pull it off, but from the sounds of the dev blog with such a small team, it will probably be an after-release kind of addition.

The only problem is that there are people who will be passionate about this game, but won't be willing to pay a subscription. Sure, it makes there be less kids, but there will still be some stubborn kids willing to pay their allowance every month to play still. If people don't love the game, then they most likely will just stop playing. Not everyone has extra money at the end of a month, in fact some of us barely scrape by with enough to have food on the table. You say there is no negatives, but people will stop paying and stop playing the game. I am very passionate about this game, and sure I could go a couple days without coffee to pay for a subscription, but a whole lot of the player base isn't going to scrape up extra cash to keep paying every month.
