Fick en ide om att lägga till en blodbuss som någon högre rankad medic kan ta ut och åka och ställa i olika städer runt om på Altis.
 
Och dit kan civila sen gå och donera blod och få pengar för det, samt att medicsen fyller deras blodbuss med blod och sen när den är full får de åka och sälja blodet i närmsta sjukhus.
 
Svara gärna vad ni tycker med kommentarer
 
  EDIT: Tänkte för att medicsen vill ha en förändring och de vill tjäna mera pengar 

What is your in-game name? I have used many different in-game names but usually I play as Hampus.   What is your Player ID #? 76561198071450271   Have you read all of the rules on the forum? Yes I have read the rules and I do it immediately when I start on different servers in every game I play.   Do you promise to always act in-character and never abuse your power while playing as a cop/medic/rebel?  Will never abuse power or trust.   How long have you played on the server?  I have played almost all my hours on CvGaming (~1300h+) by a period of constant playing from September. And to add is that CvGaming is the only server I have played on.   How long have you played Arma 3?  Bought Arma 3 in September 2014, and for 1350 hours according to steam.    How often do you play on the server?  Usually every day from I come home from school until I go to sleep unless I have something important I have to finish within the school. Which usually is 4-8 hours a day and on the weekends I usually sit up the whole nights.   Tell us a little about yourself!  My name is Hampus turned 18 this January and live close to Gothenburg, the timezone is GMT +1. In my spare time I usually sit in front of my computer or being out with friends and just have a good time, I still go to school second year but it will not prevent my playing.   I have been playing as a cop earlier on this server but switched to the terrorist role because I wanted to try something new but now I feel I would like to get a chance to come back to the police force.     Meet the minimum age of 18. CHECK Understand basic server rules. CHECK MUST have a working microphone! CHECK MUST have a good command of the English language. CHECK

Hello friends!   I just wanted to say thank you for staying with us in these dark times. Most of you know what happened and some of you don't. We've been attacked for 5 days straight, our ISP refused to help us so we had troubles fixing this since our server is hosted private. Yesterday we decided to rent a server and this will be our solution until further notice. Our services - Altis Life, Teamspeak and Minecraft are now back up in a stable state.
Thank you.         GW CvGaming

10. Bandit District
 
The Bandit District is a Kill On Sight Area
You are only allowed to kill inside the AREA
It isn´t allowed to be in the Bandit District Area shooting at other people if you are only wearing a Pistol like Rook-40, If you want to be in the bandit district without a chance of getting a ban, you must have gear on you, atleast a Vermin/trg if u decide to not follow, dont be suprised if we take action against your behaviour it might be classified as trolling depending on the situation.
Required gear to participate on bandit is: Cloth/vests/TRG or Vermin.. NO SDAR, If you have a vest in your house, you need to use it on bandit, Not doing so will result in hard punishment. The only players who are allowed to use only TRG/vermin are new players that not yet have obtained a single vest.
You are allowed to come back to bandit after your 15 minutes of New Life Rule ends
Are only allowed to capture 1 time each day per Gang
If there is an ongoing Federal Reserve event you are not allowed to start the Bandit Event. It is your own responsibility to make sure that the Federal event has ended before you can start the Bandit event.
The gang that capture Bandit District has 1 hour and 30 minutes on from the minute they start capturing, to leave the area and secure their loot.
You are now not allowed to capture bandit district unless there is 2hours to restart, this means, Capturing bandit when there is 1hour to restart is forbidden.
 
11. Federal Reserve / House Raids
 
 
         Federal Reserve
When a robbery is going down at the Federal Reserve, everyone on the server is allowed to participate. This means you are allowed as a gang to role play your way in to the situation (If you do this in an threatful way this is okey, but doing so with for an example, a rook-40 in your hand will be classified as trolling and it will result in an punishment for your gang.
1 life rule at FED ( if the APD are 8 or less online, they are allowed to use 2 lifes with no NLR )
If federal reserve is taken by the rebels N.L.A rules are: 1 life at federal reserve, 1 life at N.L.A Island
If the gang(s) robbing the federal reserve succeeds to kill an officer then that loot belongs to those gangs only. Looting an officer that the robbing gang(s) has killed will result in a temporary suspension of the player deciding to loot.
2 Gangs are allowed to Co-Operate when robbing Federal Reserve, They must inform the APD when they start which 2 gangs are co-operating
When the Federal Reserve goes down, The APD has KOS around the federal (proximitly 1km around fed buildings - please use your common knowledge here, if you see someone passing around in an truck box/offroad new players, making 0 threats towards your operation... doing 0 damage dont just shoot them, this will still be classified as an RDM)
Same rules apply to the Gang(s) robbing the Federal Reserve, If you feel threaten you are allowed to shoot, but please use your common knowledge.. if they don´t make a threat towards you, why shoot them?
·         1 life rule at FED ( if the APD are 8 or less online, they are allowed to use 2 lifes with no NLR )
Federal Reserve consists of 2 events, Federal Reserve and Federal Transport.
The transport event starts when a vehicle leaves fed - anything from a Quadbike, Hemmtt box or even a Mohawk. The ones who have died at the first Event (Fighting for the federal area) can join the Transport Event. The ones who have died have to be 2km away from Federal Reserve and can only go towards the area as soon the second event has started. (Keep in mind, New Life Rule Applies)
·         1 life on federal reserve, 1 life on the transportation event  (if you manage to survive the Federal Robery Event, you will have 2 lives on the Transportation Event)
·         You are only allowed to take Federal Reserve every second day (For an example, Your gang takes Federal Reserve on Monday, then they can´t take federal until wednesday)
If you are the robbers on federal reserve and you leave a vehicle after the robbery, the police have full authority to start an impound lot event on you and or your gang, This will happen in Safezone (until we fix impound lots on the map) And the maximum price allowed for the police to take out is 60% of the vehicles original cost, If the person who owns the vehicle doesn´t pay up they are allowed to blow it up in the sky
(if you manage to survive the Federal Event, you will have 2 lives on the Transportation Event) Keep in mind, New Life Rule still applies.
The gangs that take the Fed has 1 hour on from there they start cutting the door to them must get away
 If you get disconnected during a take over of Federal Reserve (Ping to high, game crash etc.) you are able to get back to Federal Reserve by contacting the A.P.D and make up a solution for you to get back to Fed (for ex. landing a hummingbird inside Fed). Coming back to Fed without contacting the A.P.D about a solution is banable.
If the NLA (National Liberation Army) have sucessfully started a Federal Reserve event you are not allowed to initiate the Bandit District event. Once Federal reserve event is over you may once again start other events. It is your own responsibility to make sure who started the Federal Reserve event and when it has come to an end.
 
House Raids
 
NLA are allowed to help when a house raid takes place.  (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
NLA will only be allowed to bring 1 ifrit and they will only be allowed to help customers that have a weekpass, and if they are payed enough. (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
NLA has to inform the police that they are on the way to help the civilian. (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
The transport containing the illegal items that has been confiscated can only be attacked by the gang that has been raided (N.L.A are not allowed to help during the transport)
Noone except for the civilian who is getting raided and his gang, are allowed to participate on the Raid, exceptions are the faction N.L.A who can get payed to help the civilian who is getting raided.
When the A.P.D starts a raid, they are allowed to open all the doors, but when the first message comes out they must wait 20 minutes before searching the house and before opening the storage boxes to give the civilian who is getting raided a fair chance to defend and reclaim his stuff.
During a house raid the A.P.D have kill on sight towards the one they are raiding and his Gang (this applies 1,5 km) from the actual house (Ofcourse they are allowed to shoot N.L.A if they have done their part in house raids and informed the A.P.D that they are on their way to help the civilian and his gang)
Logging out and spawn into your house to get there faster while the raid is in progress is forbidden, and will result in a ban
Fast-traveling in order to move Gear from one house to another will be judged as Lack of RP. In order to move gear in a legitimate way from point A to point B you must use your backpack or a vehicle.
 
12. Scamming
Scamming someone is not allowed when selling GEAR, for an example, if you make a deal you are going to buy a weapon from someone for lets say 1,1 mil and you just take the gun and then leave - This is banable
13. Looting
 
Going in to a "warzone" and going for other peoples loot is now banable(your gear will be wiped and you will recive a punishment all from 3-7 days depending on situation)
This is to prevent people going in naked/fully geared and taking other peoples loot, it will be much more fun for everyone.
If you are trying to take other peoples loot, the people who are fighting have the right to shoot you on sight, you and your gang does not have the right to answer the fire, you should leave the area asap so you don´t die, If you die the rule above applies, you do not have KOS on the ones killing you.
If there are 2 gangs vs APD for an example, both gangs have the right to loot, you are not allowed to kill each other without role play.
Just to clearify. The A.P.D are always allowed to loot (this means, if someone dies infront of them they most likely will jump out and take his stuff if it is illegal, if the A.P.D Loot, you do not have kill on sight, however.. you are allowed to engage them.
You are only allowed to loot people that you or your gang have killed, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOT PEOPLE WHO CRASH WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
14. Engage
If you are in a gang you must start your robbery with "THIS IS THE GANGNAME" For an example: This is the NLF, put your hands up or we open fire.
 
15. Prison Break
The A.P.D have KOS inside the jail, if u are in this area the police are allowed to shoot you without no warning.
If a civilian is wearing gear (read, Tactical vest) and he gets killed inside the jail area when he is about to start an breakout, this gives KOS for his gang, if he dies in the area without gear, they are not allowed to shoot back. Doing so will result in an RDM ban and probably a longer punishment depending on the outcome.
When the civilians start an breakout they get KOS on the A.P.D inside Jail, this means, you are not allowed to shoot the police outside of prison (they must enter the gates) then the game begins, The A.P.D on the other hand, are allowed to start shooting towards Jail from outside, but keep in mind when they do so, the civilians get KOS on the A.P.D
 
16. Tempest Device & Orca
 
·         Tempest Device / Orca is not allowed during the event "purge"
 
·         Tempest Device / Orca is only allowed to use while farming
 
·         Using this vehicle in an attempt like hunter/ifrit while not farming is banable.
 
17. Restrain / Taze
 
If you get restrained, this does not give your gang KOS.
If you get tazed, this does not give your gang KOS.
With that said, we hope this can bring back more roleplay instead of just killings everywhere - If you get restrained, and for an example: you have 2 cops or rebels infront of you, you have to say "If you do not let me go within a reasonable time my friends will open fire! 
(Reasonable time is, giving them enough time so that they can choose if they want to fight or unrestrain you)
 Knocking someone down does not give them kos, however, if you do this towards an Police officer, you can bet your ass they will do something about it
 
18. Auction House
The police are not allowed to camp the Auction House waiting for someone to come there to buy or sell illigal gear. But they are allowed to follow a suspect inside the Auction House area, but as soon as that situation is over the police must leave the area.
 
 
 
Keep in mind these rules are always subject to be changed and additional rules may be added.
 

Tjena tjena!

/Goatis

Jag har föreslagit detta ett antal gånger men har inte blivit så mycket av det :/

First of all, this will be written in English since i want everyone to be able to understand it. If replies are directed at me specifically you may reply in Swedish should you want to.
 
This post wil be regarding the current meta of the server, what i think is wrong and what i think could change. It will also directly point out flaws and ingame mechanics that are hindering the progression of new characters. Should you disagree with what i've said you can post and tell me why, but i will not reply to random spoutings that are handled in the post itself. Meaningful discussions however is much appriciated.
 
With that said, let me begin (Against my better judgement i might add since i think the replies here will more be in the line of "if you don't like it leave", but alas we shall see.
 
Starting out on CvGaming's Altis Life RPG server was wonderful! It was my first time ever playing Altis and to find a Swedish community this large was really sweet. I loved the game from the start because i love making money for some weird reason, but only in games and not real life to my wallets discontent. The system of Altis in general, making money, working for your stuff, buying uppgrades had the same addictive scent as many of the phonegames or webbrowser games (I.E Utopia for those that know wtf that is) i've loved for such a long time, but actually playing it.
 
Soon i discovererd the alternative side of people though as i was robbed time and time again whilst chugging along my life copper route. I didn't mind this though, robbing is in the game and as such it should be part of the game. It should be a risk that you take whilst playing and something that makes the game more exciting and more dynamic. Shortly after this i had my first run in with NLA, this was at the copper trader and i barely knew my front from my back. So they guided me through how to give up, how to give them my key to my boxer truck, and how to lose everything i had in it. Before this experience i had been robbed a few times, but usually they only took parts of what i had, or left what i had in the truck alone, but this was the first time i lost everything. It was a bittersweet feeling, sweet in the sense that there were active people with agendas on the server, and bitter because i lost everything i had worked so hard for (and avoided robbers finally!). This is where i first expected there to be a systematic flaw in the way the meta worked on this server, but since i was still very new i just let it slide thinking i could probably make money elsewhere, or on their island later on (Albeit it might not be optimal to my hardcore natures displeasure)
 
Since then, i've learned that it's not just part of part of the servers meta, but actually something that the top gangs aim to intensify even more. This by taking up their own agendas within the roleplay that either aims, or has as a sideeffect, new players being brought back down to 0$ and no vechicles , or close to it. But, instead of simply writing a long ass story about this, i want to go into specifics a bit.
 
Here are the ways i've tried to make money in the game:
 
Apples
Copper
Weed
Diamond
Salt
Iron
Slaves
Heroin
Cocain
 
What's my point of listing all of them here? I just want to show that this is not written after having done one thing and not achieving success. The next thing we can do is make a list of what things are ok with what faction:
 
Police are ok with:
All the legal things, such as copper/salt/diamond/iron etc

NLA are ok with:
All the illegal things, such as weed, cocain, heroin etc
 
Neither are ok with slaves, and to add to that some gangs have taken it upon themselves to personally make sure that no one does slaves out of moral RP reasons.
 
 
Now, let's go through the problematic nature of each of these ways of making money:
 
Legal ways: The legal ways are actually the safest so far in my opinion. Not that you make any money from it, but at least the people robbing you are usually not as well geared as their drug dealer robbing counterparts, and if you do not give them your key to the car you usually end up keeping it. The major problem here is NLA, NLA activly works to not make people do legal things, i've been held up by them multiple times, losing everything i have (not the vechicle though!) and having to start over. This can happen on any part of the trip (ergo, mine, procesing or dealer) and always ends up with the same thing...losing what you have. But, in all fairness if you go in early in the morning and you are lucky enough to have a good price on copper, you can usually make a few hundred thousand before all the people come online.
 
Illegal ways: Apart from simply not being as lucerative as the legal options (meaning $/hour, because of a longer distance between mine/processing/dealer and the fee given to NLA for getting in there) you have the same risk of getting robbed at the dealer as the legal counterparts BUT with the added fear that the people that rob you there are usually significantly better geared. This means they have access to lockpicks which means you lose your vechicle.
 
Slaves: The most bang for the buck i've found so far. If you find your ass a chopper and go back and forth between the slavetrader, you earn about 94k/10 minutes with a humming bird, more than anything else we've tried) The problem with the slavetrader is that everyone has something against it. You have the police that are activly against it, the rebel faction that are activly against it and you have the robbers that you do everywhere else that are out to get your profits. Here you do however have one thing more... some gangs have taken it upon themselves to act against the trading of slaves (RP) and shut down the slavetrade, meaning they set out to catch you doing it.
 
Still, most of the things said above i agree with, there should be a risk with things and you should have to be sneaky, or work together to accomplish it.
 
What i do NOT agree with are a few things, and i'll try to list them promptly along with some potential solutions:
 
The strongest faction on the server, NLA, systematically hinder new players from making money (Since legal ways are the only ways available in start before getting licenses or bigger vehicles). They disrupt the atempt to earn money and offer very little back. They could for example offer:
 
- Controlled routes where they protect you against robbers, either all the time or certain times of the day (Meaning it adds a lot to the server dynamic)
- Certain hours where you could freely farm drugs on their country (I can't set my clock on "No NLA members online")
- An understanding that new players that only own the cheapest truck or a pick up truck has NO WAY of making ANY MONEY driving all the way down to NLA headquarters for a 60 backpack of weed and a 40 of trunk space
- Avoidance of CAMPING these places. I don't mind that if they fly their chopper and see a helicopter heading in the direction of the slavetraders they decide to follow, or if they happen to stumble across someone doing copper... but camping these places waiting for someone to show up, or activly going out on a "copper run" i find very disruptive.
 
Farm hours!
 
-Some hours where the server "sleeps" that ould be used as a rob free farming time. for example between 4am-8am or something of that nature.
-Police/NLA/Clan sponsored security along a certain route as a server event or certain hours of the day. This way new players could actually count on making some money! OR it'd be a BIG event if someone chose to distrupt it intentionally, where the focus would be on disrupting the event and not robbing a poor boxtruck of copper.
- *EDIT* Or at least that you're not allowed to take someone's vechicle during these times, only their money/equipment
 
Vechicle loss
 
- Really, if someone tells you ingame that they just saved up to buy a vechicle, how can you chop shop it? It hasn't happened to me once or twice in the last 4 days, it's happened 10+ times. Vechicles can be lost in so many ways, accidents, server lag. If you see someone that you "know" is new to the game, either they just have starting gear or they tell you so. How can you take everything they've made even when they offer you to pay "hostage money" to get their vechicle back?
 
Systematic gang robberies
 
- Some of the major gangs on this server do not rob you when they stumble by you. They set in system to follow you and take everything you have (including vechicles) multiple times in a row. This because they know you are new and cannot defend yourself. The only defense you have against this is to sit your ass in one of the cities and do nothing until they get bored. Seems a bit game breaking to me no?
 
This is getting a bit TL:DR even for me, and my little finger already hurts from flying chopper so much so i'll stop it shortly...
 
Out of the around 10 players or so i've met and teamed up with that were in my sitaution (newly started out) only 1 remain, the others stopped playing here because it's impossible to get out of poverty
 
I like this server, i really do, but how about we take a step in the right direction now and make it so that it's possible for new players to join the server and thus the community without the immidiate NEED to join one of the already existing strong gangs

How to find a user on teamspeak
 
Yes, the teamspeak has grown and there are ALOT of channels.
 
Now a days it takes time to find users and people ask me where some user is.
 
So now I am going to teach you some magic which you can teach everyone who ask's you the same question.
 
Click anywhere in the teamspeak channel-tree (does not work in the chat) CTRL + F A search-field will appear, make sure it says "search tree" and not "search chat" Enter the username of any user online and teamspeak vill highlight the person for you  
No this is not magic, that was a joke.
This is a built in feature of teamspeak

10. Bandit District
 
The Bandit District is a Kill On Sight Area
You are only allowed to kill inside the AREA
It isn´t allowed to be in the Bandit District Area shooting at other people if you are only wearing a Pistol like Rook-40, If you want to be in the bandit district without a chance of getting a ban, you must have gear on you, atleast a Vermin/trg if u decide to not follow, dont be suprised if we take action against your behaviour it might be classified as trolling depending on the situation.
Required gear to participate on bandit is: Cloth/vests/TRG or Vermin.. NO SDAR, If you have a vest in your house, you need to use it on bandit, Not doing so will result in hard punishment. The only players who are allowed to use only TRG/vermin are new players that not yet have obtained a single vest.
You are allowed to come back to bandit after your 15 minutes of New Life Rule ends
Are only allowed to capture 1 time each day per Gang
If there is an ongoing Federal Reserve event you are not allowed to start the Bandit Event. It is your own responsibility to make sure that the Federal event has ended before you can start the Bandit event.
The gang that capture Bandit District has 1 hour and 30 minutes on from the minute they start capturing, to leave the area and secure their loot.
You are now not allowed to capture bandit district unless there is 2hours to restart, this means, Capturing bandit when there is 1hour to restart is forbidden.
 
11. Federal Reserve / House Raids
 
 
         Federal Reserve
When a robbery is going down at the Federal Reserve, everyone on the server is allowed to participate. This means you are allowed as a gang to role play your way in to the situation (If you do this in an threatful way this is okey, but doing so with for an example, a rook-40 in your hand will be classified as trolling and it will result in an punishment for your gang.
1 life rule at FED ( if the APD are 8 or less online, they are allowed to use 2 lifes with no NLR )
If federal reserve is taken by the rebels N.L.A rules are: 1 life at federal reserve, 1 life at N.L.A Island
If the gang(s) robbing the federal reserve succeeds to kill an officer then that loot belongs to those gangs only. Looting an officer that the robbing gang(s) has killed will result in a temporary suspension of the player deciding to loot.
2 Gangs are allowed to Co-Operate when robbing Federal Reserve, They must inform the APD when they start which 2 gangs are co-operating
When the Federal Reserve goes down, The APD has KOS around the federal (proximitly 1km around fed buildings - please use your common knowledge here, if you see someone passing around in an truck box/offroad new players, making 0 threats towards your operation... doing 0 damage dont just shoot them, this will still be classified as an RDM)
Same rules apply to the Gang(s) robbing the Federal Reserve, If you feel threaten you are allowed to shoot, but please use your common knowledge.. if they don´t make a threat towards you, why shoot them?
·         1 life rule at FED ( if the APD are 8 or less online, they are allowed to use 2 lifes with no NLR )
Federal Reserve consists of 2 events, Federal Reserve and Federal Transport.
The transport event starts when a vehicle leaves fed - anything from a Quadbike, Hemmtt box or even a Mohawk. The ones who have died at the first Event (Fighting for the federal area) can join the Transport Event. The ones who have died have to be 2km away from Federal Reserve and can only go towards the area as soon the second event has started. (Keep in mind, New Life Rule Applies)
·         1 life on federal reserve, 1 life on the transportation event  (if you manage to survive the Federal Robery Event, you will have 2 lives on the Transportation Event)
·         You are only allowed to take Federal Reserve every second day (For an example, Your gang takes Federal Reserve on Monday, then they can´t take federal until wednesday)
If you are the robbers on federal reserve and you leave a vehicle after the robbery, the police have full authority to start an impound lot event on you and or your gang, This will happen in Safezone (until we fix impound lots on the map) And the maximum price allowed for the police to take out is 60% of the vehicles original cost, If the person who owns the vehicle doesn´t pay up they are allowed to blow it up in the sky
(if you manage to survive the Federal Event, you will have 2 lives on the Transportation Event) Keep in mind, New Life Rule still applies.
The gangs that take the Fed has 1 hour on from there they start cutting the door to them must get away
 If you get disconnected during a take over of Federal Reserve (Ping to high, game crash etc.) you are able to get back to Federal Reserve by contacting the A.P.D and make up a solution for you to get back to Fed (for ex. landing a hummingbird inside Fed). Coming back to Fed without contacting the A.P.D about a solution is banable.
If the NLA (National Liberation Army) have sucessfully started a Federal Reserve event you are not allowed to initiate the Bandit District event. Once Federal reserve event is over you may once again start other events. It is your own responsibility to make sure who started the Federal Reserve event and when it has come to an end.
 
House Raids
 
NLA are allowed to help when a house raid takes place.  (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
NLA will only be allowed to bring 1 ifrit and they will only be allowed to help customers that have a weekpass, and if they are payed enough. (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
NLA has to inform the police that they are on the way to help the civilian. (posted under faction rules, but to make it easier to find)
 
The transport containing the illegal items that has been confiscated can only be attacked by the gang that has been raided (N.L.A are not allowed to help during the transport)
Noone except for the civilian who is getting raided and his gang, are allowed to participate on the Raid, exceptions are the faction N.L.A who can get payed to help the civilian who is getting raided.
When the A.P.D starts a raid, they are allowed to open all the doors, but when the first message comes out they must wait 20 minutes before searching the house and before opening the storage boxes to give the civilian who is getting raided a fair chance to defend and reclaim his stuff.
During a house raid the A.P.D have kill on sight towards the one they are raiding and his Gang (this applies 1,5 km) from the actual house (Ofcourse they are allowed to shoot N.L.A if they have done their part in house raids and informed the A.P.D that they are on their way to help the civilian and his gang)
Logging out and spawn into your house to get there faster while the raid is in progress is forbidden, and will result in a ban
Fast-traveling in order to move Gear from one house to another will be judged as Lack of RP. In order to move gear in a legitimate way from point A to point B you must use your backpack or a vehicle.
 
12. Scamming
Scamming someone is not allowed when selling GEAR, for an example, if you make a deal you are going to buy a weapon from someone for lets say 1,1 mil and you just take the gun and then leave - This is banable
13. Looting
 
Going in to a "warzone" and going for other peoples loot is now banable(your gear will be wiped and you will recive a punishment all from 3-7 days depending on situation)
This is to prevent people going in naked/fully geared and taking other peoples loot, it will be much more fun for everyone.
If you are trying to take other peoples loot, the people who are fighting have the right to shoot you on sight, you and your gang does not have the right to answer the fire, you should leave the area asap so you don´t die, If you die the rule above applies, you do not have KOS on the ones killing you.
If there are 2 gangs vs APD for an example, both gangs have the right to loot, you are not allowed to kill each other without role play.
Just to clearify. The A.P.D are always allowed to loot (this means, if someone dies infront of them they most likely will jump out and take his stuff if it is illegal, if the A.P.D Loot, you do not have kill on sight, however.. you are allowed to engage them.
You are only allowed to loot people that you or your gang have killed, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOT PEOPLE WHO CRASH WITH THEIR VEHICLES.
14. Engage
If you are in a gang you must start your robbery with "THIS IS THE GANGNAME" For an example: This is the NLF, put your hands up or we open fire.
 
15. Prison Break
The A.P.D have KOS inside the jail, if u are in this area the police are allowed to shoot you without no warning.
If a civilian is wearing gear (read, Tactical vest) and he gets killed inside the jail area when he is about to start an breakout, this gives KOS for his gang, if he dies in the area without gear, they are not allowed to shoot back. Doing so will result in an RDM ban and probably a longer punishment depending on the outcome.
When the civilians start an breakout they get KOS on the A.P.D inside Jail, this means, you are not allowed to shoot the police outside of prison (they must enter the gates) then the game begins, The A.P.D on the other hand, are allowed to start shooting towards Jail from outside, but keep in mind when they do so, the civilians get KOS on the A.P.D
 
16. Tempest Device & Orca
 
·         Tempest Device / Orca is not allowed during the event "purge"
 
·         Tempest Device / Orca is only allowed to use while farming
 
·         Using this vehicle in an attempt like hunter/ifrit while not farming is banable.
 
17. Restrain / Taze
 
If you get restrained, this does not give your gang KOS.
If you get tazed, this does not give your gang KOS.
With that said, we hope this can bring back more roleplay instead of just killings everywhere - If you get restrained, and for an example: you have 2 cops or rebels infront of you, you have to say "If you do not let me go within a reasonable time my friends will open fire! 
(Reasonable time is, giving them enough time so that they can choose if they want to fight or unrestrain you)
 Knocking someone down does not give them kos, however, if you do this towards an Police officer, you can bet your ass they will do something about it
 
18. Auction House
The police are not allowed to camp the Auction House waiting for someone to come there to buy or sell illigal gear. But they are allowed to follow a suspect inside the Auction House area, but as soon as that situation is over the police must leave the area.
 
 
 
Keep in mind these rules are always subject to be changed and additional rules may be added.
 

Alexander Mahone's Police Application
 
 

- I'm waiting for your call!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What is your in-game name?
I have played mostly as A. Mahone but also Alexander Mahone, A Mahone, [svebus] A. Mahone, [ATV's] A. Mahone.

What is your Player ID #?
76561197977821655

Have you read all of the rules on the forum?
I do that on a regular basis and will of course read the cop rules 10 extra times.

Do you promise to always act in-character and never abuse your power while playing as a cop/medic/rebel?
You have my word, I will never abuse power or trust.

How long have you played on the server?
I really don't know but it should be 200h+ over a period of 6-8 weeks!?
My record is 20h without any breaks or pauses (ate once though). Liberatore was amazed.
So I don't think my in game time will be a problem.

How long have you played Arma 3?
Since the Alpha, and for 770 hours according to Steam.
But more importantly is probably my history in Arma 2 which I estimate to 2000h+.
(I can't look it up since I used a launcher instead of Steam. )

Anyways, I have played Warfare, CTI (Gossamer and BECTI mostly), Life (both with and without database support) as
bandit, terrorist, cop (miss the dogs :/), fabricator (fun word) and other RP roles.
Insurgency, and stuff like that. The list is long, can't remember all the different modes and mods. (Big fan of ACE 2 btw.)
I'm also a big fan of BIS and was hooked when the original Operation Flashpoint was released a long time ago.
Testing, scripting, modding and so on are pretty fun too even though ArmA is a mess to work with. At least for me.

How often do you play on the server?
I am pretty active both on the server and on the forums. Maybe too active sometimes.

Tell us a little about yourself!
Well, what can I say... I'm a Swedish fella' that like a lot of different things in life. More importantly gaming and
Arma 3. My age is somewhat a sensitive matter but let's say I'm 25+ but not 30. No more question about that please.

I'm now handing over my application to the A.P.D since I am tired of being a honest and hard working civilian.
And I know how hard it is to make a living without a gang I will do my best to protect and to serve
the poor civilians on Altis. I would like to patrol problem areas like highway checkpoints and traders.
I want to be present where the civs are rather that waiting for the FED to be robbed. I prefer to save lives and put bandits into jail rather than killing. But sometimes a man gotta do what a man gotta do.

Mr. Norren/K. Umar och Dimitri

Or did I? 

Jag pratade med GW igår om just detta att vi behöver mer folk som kan hjälpa till och för att få bort stressen på oss andra.
 
Som cARPEN sa så har vi alla antingen ett jobb eller skola att gå till på vardagarna.
 
Vi gör allt vi kan för att få CvGaming att rulla och försöker hjälpa alla vi kan. Men vi är fortfarande bara människor.
 
 

Tjabba!
 
Mitt namn är Tobias och jag är härliga 26 år ung. Bor i Kalmar som ligger vid Öland (Yes, folk vet vart öland ligger men inte Kalmar). 
Utbildad mekaniker på tunga fordon men är i dagsläget pappaledig.
 
På min fritid loggar jag rätt mycket tid online - kanske ni har märkt. Annars lirar jag frisbeegolf, spelar fotboll och ibland försöker jag åka lite skateboard. Tiden på dygnet räcker inte riktigt till .. 
 
Spelat på denna server sedan 1 september och har hittils 1200 timmar på CvGaming. Startade min karriär i N.L.F som en benhård terrorist, blev senare ledare för denna grupp med Dimitri.
 
Sedan blev vi N.L.A och rebeller. Tröttnade lite på rollen efter ett tag och blev polis! 
 
 
 
Ha det gött!
 
 

Min lilla hörna hemma ostädat och som det ser ut när arma körs
 
Flightstick till flygning samt dåligt placerad cam för No-Ir-face-track så jag kan luta mig ut ur hellin när jag flyger. 360 kontroll till fordon och tangentbord o mus till fots.
 
Vid sidan av huserar ett corsair 750D följande:
I7-5820k @4,3Ghz på 1.25v förtillfället (H110 kyler inte nog ännu pga lågvarv fläktar)
16GB DDR4 @2666Mhz
GA-X99-UD4
R9-290 @ 1050/1350Mhz
290Gb på SSD och några TB på HDD
Monitorerna är 3st AOC 27" på 5928x1080 med bezel.
 
Kan även tillägga att ett nytt bord är pågång när jag får ork att bygga ihop det men sålänge tycker jag att högtalarstativet gör sitt jobb ganska bra.
