Rest In Peace Josh you will be missed by all of us.

RIP my friend, gone to soon.

Terrible news, they were very nice guys. I have so many good memories with them. RIP Cryptic and Suzaku. I'll be there Sunday. --------------------- "Rose2g": This sunday 7PM AEDT we will be having a memorial for cryptic and suzaku on Ozzy ts (ts3.ozzygaming.com) and in ozzygaming altis life if you want to join that also. I would like to see you there.

Congratulations to Mr West for winning the election! I look forward to working with you in the future. Kind Regards, Cabinet Phelps

if you dont vote jj you're bad

When I heard, I really hoped it wasn't true. Cryptic always knew how to exasperate and annoy me, yet made me laugh a half second later. I'll always remember him for his many quirks and his time in helpdesk, despite the powergaming he was a great guy and I'll always remember the long TS chats after a few beers. Two of our number in such a short time, really sucks. RIP Cryptic and Suzaku.

G'day Gamers. As always, if you have any suggestions for the FiveM Server, you can start a thread here. If you have found any bugs, then you may report them here. Onesync: We are currently testing the new and updated versions of the server files for the 64 slot server, at this current point in time, the server files seem to be largely unpredictable and unstable. FiveM themselves have not yet specified that they have released a working/stable version. This does not mean that we are not actively working on testing on this build of FiveM. We will definitely be updating to a permanent 64 slot server when the Onesync is stable enough to allow it. Added: New job vehicle for Los Santos Customs. New skin for the Los Santos Customs building. Lots of new business Discord bot changes. Lots of new administrator tools (rule breakers beware). Modified: New vehicle rotation Fixed: Police and EMS CAD GPS is now working. Phone now will display the correct GPS coordinates. Police and EMS CAD will now show the correct street location. More tweaks for the clothing store. Discord bot displaying failed transactions through the CID monitoring channel. Various resources that were slowing the server down ever so slightly.

Must admit this has hit home quite a bit, having had experience with road trauma and suicide on a personal level, with those closest to me. Both Cryptic and Suzaku were, and still are very memorable members of the OzzyGaming community. Through thick and thin we all, even I, have had contact with these two in some form or another, like most through good and bad...and have shared many games, and roleplayed moments together, both within Ozzy, and out of it... Both taken too soon, and for all the wrong reasons... Was a pleasure to play with you both, and get to know you both on some level or another... For all those affected, i'm sorry for your loss...It never gets easier having lost someone you cared for, especially good friends...I, like most will always be around for a shoulder to lean on... R.I.P - you'll never be forgotten, and will always have a spot in our memory here within OzzyGaming, and outside of it...

Congrats mate, i've heard from your co-workers you're a pretty good guy and from what i've seen myself I know more than enough that you can indeed make the police force great again!!

Its one moment that you think is not real. i have so many good memories with cryptic and its almost not true that he has passed away

#JJWestForPoliceCommissioner

Hello all, Thank you for showing your support to my position as police commissioner of the New South Wales Police Force. Please be assured that your vote has gone towards ensuring the awesome new changes for the police will be coming in the near future for all officers to enjoy! Cabinet and I have been working hard as always to monitor and maintain the police force while also looking to introduce new things for you all to enjoy and to keep things fresh! Once this election and I am elected commissioner (hopefully), work will continue to implement the new Regional/Country patrol which will see a greater police presence north of Route 68 in Blaine County. This will allow for the citizens of Sandy Shores, Grapeseed, Paleto Bay and the surrounding areas to feel safer under the watchful eye of the resourceful and independent officers of the Regional sub-division of General Duties. Another change which will be evident soon will be the changes in training of officers when it comes to interaction between police and the fellow citizens of San Andreas. It has become apparent through PSC (Professional Standards Command) that far too many unnecessary confrontations between citizens and police have occurred. Cabinet, Police Administration as a team look to improve the training of new recruits so that they're more prepared for the different scenarios they may face while on duty. The training will also be improved in terms of efficiency so that training is less time consuming and less taxing on police resources. Anyway, for those who don't fully know me, I'm Nick Phelps and I'm currently a Cabinet Member of the New South Wales Police Force. I've been in the force for a long time now and learnt a lot of valuable lessons along the way which I intend to employ when making decisions as a commissioner. I feel like I have also gained the respect of all police officers which are under my command and i trust them which my life as we are one as brothers in blue. I joined just like everyone else, right at the bottom as a cadet (now known as a Probationary Constable). I steadily rose through the constable ranks before being given the opportunity to take on more leadership and become a Sergeant. Of course I could not do this alone and people such as officers; Ralph, Parj and Doge among many others are people I'd like to thank for helping me learn and improve as a police officer. At that point in time Cabinet had worked their butts off to introduce the departments that we're involved in today. I wanted to prove to myself and my colleagues that I could strive to be the best of the best within the police force, so I applied for SRT. I was accepted and put under command of Cabinet Member Mitty King. Mitty and I were able to work together very well, foiling various bank robberies and other crimes of a more serious nature. I was then promoted to team leader so that I could lead SRT teams when the commander wasn't on duty. We conducted various training and became a well oiled machine of fierce justice against those who sought to destabilise this community. We went on patrols in an effort to deter disorderly civilians from considering committing serious crimes in the city. At the same time I was also promoted to the rank of Inspector and granted access into police administration. I loved and still love every bit of administration as I'm able to make more of an impact within the police force including dealing with police matters and resolving issues so that the departments continue to run smoothly. After some time I was then promoted to Chief Inspector and also offered the position of SRT Commander. At this point in time I continued to monitor and lead SRT will investigating reports and disciplining officers who were doing the wrong thing. I worked closely with Superintendent Kavala (now a CSI) to update the training program that new recruits had to complete before being allowed to go on duty. It was quite successful with achieving the aim of making training less time and resource consuming. Eventually I was offered a difficult choice that I'd have to make when offered to me, accept the position in Cabinet and give up my rank as SRT commander, or refuse my cabinet position. It was a hard to let go of SRT but I felt like cabinet was right for me as I felt the lessons on leadership that I learnt from leading SRT could be better utilised in cabinet. Since being accepted into cabinet, I've had a better understanding of how the police force works and have made plans along side cabinet to improve things in the police. The take home point here is; I have the experience and leadership qualities along with the knowledge of how the police force here works to be a strong and understanding leader whose ideals and morals align perfectly with the rest of the dedicated officers of this department. - Cabinet Member Phelps (Exploreer)

Josh or Cryptic as others may have known him has sadly passed away last Sunday confirmed by his brother. Josh has always been one of the boys, one of the guys you could always play with. I first met josh in early 2016 on a game called rust, We didn't really get along too well when we first met but as time went on through Altis life and even more rust we became great friends. Josh may not have known this but he helped me through a very rough time in my life were i experienced serious depression and thought of suicide. Although i never told him, just being able to jump on my PC and play rust all day with josh would help me a lot, knowing that there was always a mate at my side. Josh was a great friend but please don't follow in his path reach out to someone if you need help and don't be afraid to talk about it. Please contact LifeLine Crisis support and Suicide helpline 13 11 14 Rest In Peace Josh You Will Be Missed.

Most of the candidates have addressed specific changes or systems they would like to implement which is of course good. However, only one of the candidates really addressed their suitability for a leadership role - anyone can enact changes but not everyone makes an effective leader. Actual true leadership qualities aren't always understood by all but when they are present they are the hallmark of the department. I think that it is vastly more important that the commissioner has these leadership qualities rather than just a bag of equipment, rank changes or training ideas in mind. Anyone can come up with those recommendations and those sorts of things are often opinions shared by a large number of members (or at the very least, can be suggested to the commissioner by a lower rank). That being said, I have not made my decision just yet. I came into this vote pretty much blind and not having any real applicant in mind, but I feel reassured by _diz's application.

G'day Gamers, I present to you our Final Election for our FiveM Police Commissioner 2019. I would again like to thank all 8 candidates from the preliminary vote as the community cut this list down to just 3. There were a lot of surprises from that vote and there was plenty of support for all candidates. Again, we encourage all these members to strive to get into senior police positions so that their popular opinions and ideas can have a larger voice. The result of this election will be final and the winner will be promoted immediately to the rank of Police Commissioner. Ideally, we would like to see a majority vote (>50%) for a particular candidate, but this may not be possible with 3 options. Therefore, the candidate with the greatest number of votes will be deemed the winner, regardless of whether they attain the absolute majority. Rules of this election: - This vote will be open for approximately 24 hours and close at 21:00 09/02/2019 AEDT. - All members of the community, including candidates, are permitted to vote. - Members are able to vote for only 1 person. Attempts to damage the integrity of the vote, including multiple forum accounts will be monitored and punished. - Voting results are hidden during the election to protect its integrity. For transparency, final results will be published post-election. - Candidates are permitted to drop out at any time and all cast votes for that candidate will be void. - Votes are non-preferential or transferable. Only raw votes per candidate count towards the final result. - Server Management reserves the right to deem any candidate ineligible for the election at any time and all cast votes for that candidate will be void. - The candidate with the highest number of votes at the end of the election will be deemed the winner and be immediately assigned the rank of Police Commissioner. - In the unlikely event of a tie, server management will consult with all candidates to find a resolution. Guidelines for the prospective new Commissioner: - All candidates have been briefed on the expectations of server management regarding the role. - Generally, there will be limitations on making large sweeping changes to the current structure, people and protocol within the police in the short term. - Adjustments to the structure and small changes to the ranking of the police leadership team will be permitted with some oversight from server management. - Decisions within the police currently are and will remain a democratic process between senior members. The Police Commissioner is not a 'dictator' role and is much more of a figurehead with a slightly larger say in decisions. Ultimately the role of Commissioner is about having one accountable person for the conduct and operation of the entire police force. - Server Management will generally limit their involvement with police matters and leave it for their administration team to handle. However, we may investigate/intervene based on community complaints and/or sizeable changes in game direction. List of candidates: Below are names of the 3 candidates in this final election. I had asked each of them to provide a Bio/Statement, which is listed below their name and may be used by community members to assist their choice of commissioner. Explorer JJFromTheWest Ralph Thank you again to all that have applied and good luck to all candidates. We look forward to a new and refreshed era of police leadership. Feel free to discuss your support in the comments and candidates are welcome to update their 'election campaigns'. A reminder that 'Smear campaigns' and general negativity/hate towards any candidate is not acceptable. Kind Regards, Zaydan

Do drugs (weed specifically) by going to the weed field located north-northwest of the Alamo sea by Sandy shores. Go to weed plants and press E to harvest. Once you have the weed as a raw product, drive down into Los Santos and make your way down to Los Santos International Airport Los Santos Customs where to the left of the workshop you'll find a blue door. Walk Infront of the blue door and press E, you will enter the weed processing facility. Upon entering, walk to the tables Infront of you to your left (hard to miss) and stand on the green circle. Press E and you will begin to process your weed into cannabis. You get 1 Cannabis from every I think 3 or 5 weed. Once you are finished processing the good stuff ;), make your way over to Vespucci beach. On the beachfront you will find a weed shop that is only accessible during the day. Walk to the counter and press E to sell your product. Note that the money you receive is dirty and needs to be cleaned via a business owner. I heard the Casino up on bridge Street does a good deal as well a John Doe enterprises. These owners will swap your dirty cash for clean at an interest rate usually being 25%. - 5% depending on the amount you need cleaned. NOTE Trafficking Weed is very high risk, you will be very prone to robbers and police so I'd recommend doing your runs with extra protection (Additional friends/Gruppe6). And by the way, welcome. I look forward to seeing you on the right side of the law :).

Rest in peace little man, We all have shared some great memories There is no hurting, no suffering, and no pain in heaven. While we grieve his physical loss, please be comforted by the fact that he is in a far better place now. You will be missed Josh, My condolences go out to his friends and family Della Plissken

Hey guys! Some of you from a long time ago may know me as Walter, from a time where OzzyGaming had the Mighty Altis Life as the main gametype. After feeling a sense of nostalgia, I got in contact with some of my old buddies and we all agreed that we would like the gamemode to come back. If you think this would be a good idea, comment on this topic thread your support and what ideas you would have to help bring it back to the old glory days, and if we get enough support I will create a change.org petition to hand in if we get enough signatures. Have a good day and stay safe, look forward to seeing some of you guys around in the community!. Walter

That is a fitting place for cyptic , love it

Rest in peace Cryptic, your banter, and the laughs you created will always be missed

Hello there, in case people missed my last post in the preliminary vote forum thread, here are my goals for the police force if elected as Police Commissioner: Cabinet and I have been working hard as always to monitor and maintain the police force while also looking to introduce new things for you all to enjoy and to keep things fresh!

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider me, and also good luck to JJ and Ralph in this election!

Rest in peace Cryptic you will not be forgotten.

you may use this as your avatar.

Even tho i didn't know cryptic that long as the others i always thought he was a top lad to play with even tho he can get a little wild and get on me nerves he always knew how to turn a sour situation into one hell of shitfest of laughter and banter. Rest in peace Cryptic. You will be missed.

Explorer or JJ would be fine for me, but you're allowed to pick who you want.

Vote for whoever you want.

I didn't know the guy, But nonetheless it is always sad when someone passes so I pass my kindest regards over to this mans friends and family.

If anyone has any funny moments such as video clips photos storys etc please share. Also RIP Suzaku.

I'm not saying don't vote for Zaydan, butttt vote for someone that isn't Zaydan

I'm all in on Mek, because I've read through his large list of changes and it seems he wants to improve the force in a large RP way which is great because, its a RP server... Although I like the larger focus on regulation he wants to introduce because many cops on all sections of the ranks have become to go more off the rules (you know who you are). This line is perfect considering the things i've seen in my life in crime. Yes in case you are wondering you are talking to a very prominent gang leader on the server. The way I would hope for things to work in our robberies are for everything to go off without a hitch, but obviously this is not ideal for the PD and isn't possible in most situations. So its still reassuring that some regulations are being followed and you guys are trying to be as fair on us as we often try to be with you, while you're trying to take us down. Not to mention the first aid training would be a good way to return the cops ability to revive, even if it was only for minor injuries and returned someone to their feet with a small amount of health. Also i'm a big supporter anti grind on the server and while a probationary constable is obviously not going to be a detective any time soon its great that people have a easier choice over their role in the police force, because not everyone wants to be a basic patrol officer. Me and Mek have a lot of history. I've probably known him since I started on the server, back when he was a probationary constable like many of you have been in the past. Since then he's been the most committed cop i've ever met. Every-time I hop online I often see him patrolling around and while i'll often not see him when i'm going about my business its great to see he's playing the game the way he likes. Thats why I trust everything he put into this application because I know he has experience in the field and is a genuinely good guy. Not to mention he doesn't already own a business or is a server administrator (I'm talking to you Ralph, when are you going to open downtown cab co?). A vote for Mek is not wasted because you'll get a bunch of changes in the police force which makes it more realistic and fun overall. Good luck buddy from everyone at John Doe Enterprise!!

@J-Dub You're certainly right. This was a fault on our part. In the interest of making the application process simple and getting it out the door, we didn't necessarily want to bombard people with unnecessary long response questions like some applications. The question they were all asked was "Briefly describe any changes you would like to make?". This is the only data I had for each candidate and is what was put down for each of them. In saying that, the team reviewed all applicants and generally speaking don't have doubts as to leadership 'ability' of any of the selected candidates. But leadership style is certainly important and may be addressed by the candidates if they wish.

Im a little late but nevertheless, Welcome mate. Also in game by pressing the 'Z' key a useful menu will open up where you an view rules, controls, fines etc.

Mr West won't let us down .... hopefully

@JJFromTheWest FOR COMMISSIONER, MAKE MEXICO GREAT AGAIN <3 <3 <3

Goodluck To everyone!

Good luck to the 3 of you ive voted and may the best man win and if you do win congrats from me and i look forward to working with you.

Anyone here part of the @Exploreer club? Haven't fully decided yet but surprised I haven't seen his name in these comments...

Really Appreciate the support brother @A Disappointment Willing to make large changes around in here in regards to roleplay authenticity and quality. It's always been an issue to me that officers are joining and are leaving at the rank of constable due to lack of roleplay opportunities. I want to open up doorways for the lower ranks to do what they want to do (obviously needs to show their competency before being eligible).

Ralph or riot

@Molotov

I believe there was an update, the price of drugs went up and the legal jobs went down.

JJ YOUR BACK, YAY

Welcome back 3rd best commissioner I missed you

Hello Cryptic, the highly respected member of the community
