  1. G'day Gamers, In addition to the FiveM rules that have been updated today surrounding bank robberies, we have also deemed it necessary to put in place a set of guidelines for bank robberies. These are the guidelines civilians and police should follow while conducting robberies to ensure a fair and fun roleplay experience. This material is not "server rules" and is just extra reading for people who wish to conduct robberies. Players who are acting outside of these guidelines repeatedly/seriously will be spoken to to improve their quality of roleplay. The primary objective of police is ensuring all civilians are safe, then to retrieve stolen funds. Bank robbers who have civilians held hostage can be expected to be wielding pointing weapons at them. In this situation, pointing guns alone is not necessarily aggressive. However if bank robbers were to be pointing guns and verbally threatening to hurt the hostages, this could be considered aggressive escalation. Police must obtain 'proof of life' of hostages, ideally this should be done in person which hostage takers should assist to facilitate. Hostages do not have to be held at the front door of a building, they can be deep inside a building as well with negotiators entering the building to check on the hostages. Having a hostage is not the ultimate bargaining chip for criminals to get any demands they want. The risk to the public of violent/aggressive offenders easily going free may be more significant than the price of risking 1 hostage's life in a breach. Police will take into account if suspects are repeat-offenders, the amount of hostages used, weaponry and the level of aggression to decide what is an acceptable risk which may decrease their leniency in negotiations. Potential negotiation demands/requests: (Must be followed for the first 5 minutes of a pursuit) - Early release of some hostages - Reduced fines/jail sentences - Use of police helicopters (Polair) - Use of Spikestrips - Types of vehicles used by either party - Distance of police pursuit staging (free passage) (Up to max 250m) Free passage means that police will stage at a set distance from the bank and suspects will be reasonably uninterrupted in leaving, getting into their vehicles and driving away from the vicinity until that distance. The use of "unimpeded" staging should not be used as it serves little practical use. During negotiations, hostage takers should be willing to give & take. Always asking for "no spikes, no polair" as a requirement in all negotiations does not give the police much to use as those are significant police tools. If you want both those demands, you should be willing to give up significant other things such as certain vehicles etc. If negotiations are stalled, either party should make it clear they are not happy with the current situation/demands before randomly resorting to combat. Police may tactically intervene if they believe the risk to hostages is low, such as if there is a low amount of hostage takers and they have no quick means of endangering the hostage after a breach
  2. G'day Gamers, OzzyGaming staff are responsible for administrating player activity on the FiveM server. In circumstances of a serious rule breach, repeated breaches or where a verbal warning is not deemed sufficient or effective, our team will temporarily or in some circumstances permanently ban users from our services. Our team works within a set of procedures, past precedent and their own experience opinion to decide if a ban is necessary and the length of the ban. Bans allow us to keep general 'riff-raff' off the server and provide players with time to reflect on their actions so they can hopefully return to our server with better roleplay values. While our team is generally very fair with punishments, in some circumstances we acknowledge that some players may feel they were incorrectly or unfairly banned. For these circumstances we provide a ban appeal process. In an appeal, the player provides their version of events, what the possible issues were and reasons for why their ban should be reduced or overturned. The appeal is initially reviewed by the staff member who placed the ban who will consider your statements. They may decide to overturn your ban based on your new information. Otherwise, they may instead add their own notes to the appeal and then pass it to a senior staff member to independently review. This process eliminates potential bias and allows you to get the opinion of a more experienced staff member. All ban appeals across our services must be completed via a website support ticket so it can be tracked and monitored. Players should not DM staff members or attempt to have bans appealed via TeamSpeak, as you will just direct you to submit a support ticket. https://www.ozzygaming.com.au/support/ Before submitting a ban appeal please review the following requirements and criteria to ensure your ban is eligible to be appealed. You will also be shown how to write an appeal to give you the best chance of having your ban reconsidered. Spamming additional appeals or failing to meet the eligibility criteria will result in your appeal being denied or your ban extended. For long bans, it is recommended not to immediately submit an appeal unless you have sufficient evidence. Bans that CANNOT be appealed - Bans shorter than 1 week (Unless placed in error) - Executive permanent bans - Hacking Invalid ban appeal reasons - The ban placer is no longer staff - You have 'learned your lesson' - You want to play with your friends again Permitted ban appeal reasons - The ban was placed in error (Staff banned the wrong person due to a misunderstanding) - New significant evidence about the situation is provided - You would like a second opinion on the ban (You believe the admin misinterpreted the rules, may have been involved in the situation or was otherwise unfair) How many times can I submit an appeal? - Bans that are 3 months or less can only be appealed once - All other bans (Including permanent) can only be appealed a total of 3 times, each appeal must be at least 3 months apart Successful ban appeals should be in the following format - Explain the situation as you recall it so that a third party could read and understand it - Identify what you did wrong and what rules you breached (or are accused of) - Identify (with reference to the server rules) what you should have done in that situation - If you abused another player or a staff member, you should also include an apology - Attach any applicable evidence I know the majority of our players will never need this information, but it is important for us to clarify this information for those who do need it. Our intention is to educate and reform players so that the community is a positive place with a high standard of role play. We hope that players who do receive bans can learn from their mistakes and re-join the server and continue having fun. Please be aware that when players come off a recent ban they are held to additional scrutiny and may face longer bans should there be additional rule breaches.
  3. Namaste Baljeet! Can't wait to buy your wares.
  4. Hey man, Stealing and chop shopping cars isn't really a thing. I'd recommend Landscaping, trucking and fishing as easy ways to get started making money and learning the game. Afterwards you could either get a job with one of the cities businesses (Mechanics, Bars, Car Dealers etc.) or find a life of crime doing drug making or bank robberies.
