Now, my little point on this now takes this with a grain of salt as I have not been able to play for the last 2 months and a bit longer due to funny staff but here is my take on this.
Unless a lot has changed in the past 2 months which I highly doubt has happened based off the time of development when I was playing the same problems will probably be true and something that staff doesn't apparently understand.
Marine players don't really care about the "RP" standards of breaking windows because to them it is a XvM server so why should you care about RP and I agree that at the core this server is a TDM and anyone saying otherwise saying CM is any type of ERP is either lying or mislead ex... (xeno """""RP"""", Shipside """RP""", and the utter retardation that is CL.) and honestly this might piss a few people off but in my 200 hours on TGMC I had more fun and what I would call RP situations than I had on my 1.2k hours of playing CM and honestly their server is significantly better now that staff and the players don't really have a massive disconnect about what they want the rules to be and how rounds should go, as such MPs were removed and honestly not much had changed, people don't shoot each other at op start, cause riots, and honestly less "LRP" shit than what happened on CM pre drop and fob, aka people playing catch with throwing knifes, floor is lava with flamer thrower, and hot potato with incin nades.
Honestly though in my opinion the easiest but hardest to accept fix would just be staff finally accepting that the server is TDM and not some RP server as let's be real here shipside RP is usually, stealing, being arrested, arresting people, req and cic. Don't fucking tell me medbay has RP either as unless stuff changed fucking NO ONE wants to go to medbay and get surgery and even me who fucking was playing synth hated going to medbay and since I'm comparing stuff to TGMC people also hate going to medbay there but its a much quicker experience and doesn't take 10 minutes to get a larva removed because the only doctor didn't know how to disconnect you from the anesthetic.
And to you MP mains out there I can safely say now that I'm not here that I fucking hated basically all of you but Jerimiah, Connor, and a few others that I'm forgetting as most of you were utter power gaming pricks that openly talked about ruining peoples fun because it made you feel good and honestly the round with no staff where we resolved crimes with boxing matches was much more fun for everyone involved and shockingly no one actually got murdered or anything. On that, though ever notice the rounds with no MPs often go a lot smoother with less fucking around and shit going down than when there are, I wonder why.
If you MP mains want tips on being not hated don't arrest people for stupid shit that you know is stupid shit imposed by staff as all but the most diehard of staff most likely don't give a shit if you don't arrest someone for doing a major crime and the fucking marine sure won't care that you didn't arrest him for deconstructing briefing because fob was about to be breached and they needed metal, please just fucking do the right thing and A don't arrest robust people as 90% of the kills 10% of the player base is a real thing, B: I know we all hate spec immunity but a good SADAR Spec is fucking vital to turning the round unless some chad is there and even moreso on lowpop where I've seen MPs arresting the only spec we had and then we lost ground side super fucking fast due to no SADAR or GL
Thank you for probably not reading all my rant I made at 3 AM if you want to respond feel free but don't expect me to respond as I'm going on vacation and don't really want to get brain rot again
