Public Rundown:

Great eye opener. Thanks.

Thanks for the update.

I wasn't expecting the drug move to go by favorably with people but it's something long and hard thought on. I like to constantly re-emphasize this will be an escape from real life type of server, rather than a simulation. I'm fully aware of the vulgarity in all of the GTA games, the massive violence, and all the sexual innuendos R* has laid out among all their games; and I'm most definitely aware that it's a M rated game. I'm also aware that even with games based around it(Vice City with a heavy Scarface influence). 

So I will try not to speak for R* and re-iterate by saying it's my opinion that R* left certain social issues as innuendos or very vague and in terms of drugs they always made sure to not highlight it as something fun nor appealing. I also for one don't enjoy the dark nature of real drugs and the conversations that surround them. This is highly controversial I understand but I generally feel it's an aspect of the server I do not want so much emphasis on anymore. It doesn't mean I'm going to be naming Cocaine as "Sugar" or anything like that however, and they will still have proper un-biased development towards them in terms of distribution and such.

Hm, so would it have an actual script name?

For example, what would it be called in your inventory? Would it just be called 'Drug'?

Thanks again, Damian. Well justified clarification.

Smack, Sherm, Spank, stuff like that. Although Scooby Snacks was a pretty hot drug back in my days.

Lol no, that's just going to sound wrong.

Sorry I'm late, good stuff Damian.

Sweet.

lovely jubbly, not sure how i feel about your take on the drugs system but im eager to see how it pans out

Very nice. I'd appreciate if you would take an example from RCRP Regarding the furniture system w/ donations. Everybody should be able to place at least 200 Objects and be able to retexture them without any sort of donator status, and the donator status would increase the amount of objects you can place at max. Since I really, really, really hate the way LSRP Took it, with only 70 Restricted items, without walls and other good stuff, without being able to retexture them, and personally, if you don't find someone with a good skill AND a super expensive donator status that would only last 1 month, you'd screw it up when it comes to interiors, which is a very, very, very important aspect of each and every single server out there.

Hell yea bring back Scooby Snacks. 

Good stuff and I am glad you are open about the fact that this is still a game at the end of the day. 

Okay I like it!

Now you kids can stop asking for “time tables on when the server will open” every other thread.

Really would appreciate if the drug names stayed the same but fuck it.

I've summarized my feelings in my suggestion thread below;

I encourage anyone who wants realistic drug names to also attend. Please only reply constructively, I don't want the suggestion locked because of somebody being too angry.

Would be nice to see it changed back.

Great job fellas. Can't wait for the grand opening ! :)

Can't wait to play with you guys.

Sounds good.
