Congratulations to Police Commissioner Elect @JJFromTheWest Thank you to all of those who attended the press conference. RIP to our fallen.

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

FINAL RESULTS AS ABOVE. Final Election will be held tomorrow and will be between the top 3 candidates: Exploreer JJFromTheWest Ralph Further details to come.

@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.

G'day Gamers, I present to you our Initial Preliminary Vote for the role of FiveM Police Commissionerfor 2019! I would like to thank all 22 applicants for the position. In discussions between server management and current police cabinet, we have cut the initial list down to 8. This was based on our general opinion of eligibility, regarding experience, history, activity and server record. We appreciate all the applicants who did not make it to this stage and are hopeful you can work your way up the ranks and get to spread your ideas and opinions within the cabinet in the near future. The purpose of this "preliminary vote" is to further shortlist our applicants towards the final election to be held over the weekend. From this list of 8 candidates, we aim to choose the top 2 or 3 candidates (Dependent on the spread of the vote) to be on the final ballot. By only having 2-3 candidates in the final election, we will be better positioned to have a "popular candidate" who achieves >50%. Rules of this vote: - This vote will be closed at 11:59PM on Thursday (07/02) AEDT. - Users 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, the final results will be temporarily published after the poll is closed. - 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 top 2-3 candidates from this initial vote will be passed to a formal election, dependent if a clear majority favours only 2 candidates, or if a third candidate is in the running. In any case, no more than 3 candidates will move on to the final election. - 'Smear campaigns' and general negativity/hate towards any candidate is not acceptable and such actions will be moderated. Candidates engaged in such acts may be deemed ineligable. List of candidates: All 8 Candidates are listed below for you all to review. In spoilersfor each of them is their response to the question "Briefly describe any changes you would like to make?" _diz Explorer JJFromTheWest Kraze Mek Mitty Ralph Zaydan -- We look forward to the results and ultimate the election.

testing the system

G'day Gamers, Together with consultation from the server management team and the current police cabinet, we have come to the agreement that the police should have a figurehead person to act as a leader of the police force. We are very happy with the system of a group cabinet for decision making etc. but feel it is essential that all teams have a designated leader. As such, we have deemed it a good idea to put the position up to a public popular vote. (>50%) This announcement serves as an opportunity to express your interest in running for the position. Note: There are no eligibility requirements for the position, however all reasonable EOI's will be consulted by the server management team to confirm eligibility before names are put on a final ballot. This short form should be used to submit your expression of interest. https://goo.gl/forms/aEJVa568phslj2n72 Should we receive multiple acceptable EOI's that would constitute in too many names for a single election to realistically win the popular vote, a preliminary public vote will be held to shortlist the final candidates. Expressions of interest will close in 24 hours at 2300 AEDT. With the intention of concluding the election within 1 week.

G'day and welcome.

Welcome to Ozzy!

G'day Gamers! Seasons greetings from the server management team. I am very excited to announce the release of our highly anticipated FiveM 2.0 update. The development team has been hard at work over recent months in completely overhauling our server in order to a create a more stable, enjoyable and balanced game for everyone to be a part of. We are really excited to bring some new light for what is the most popular server in the region and keep things fresh and enjoyable. We appreciate everyone's patience in recent months and we're sure it will be worth the wait. We want people to discover the update for themselves and I won't be posting any further features or changelogs here, however one will be posted on release. We have done our best to squash all the bugs that we've seen through internal testing and we will continue to push frequent updates post-launch. All FiveM servers will be taken offline at 6:30 pm AEDT on Tuesday night (11th) and will be down for approximately 30 minutes. We expect all 3 servers to be back up and running at 7:00 pm. We will be maintaining a high staff presence on launch to assist you with any questions or bugs. Further information will be released tomorrow. Kind Regards, -- Zaydan Community Manager
