Suggestion:
Turn the COC, which seems to act as a government body by being able to fine individual people for violating their rules (pop-up events, etc) and dictating what happens with every business in town, into an actual government body with elected officials.
• I feel it should be an elected position, voted on by the people.
• The positions could be held for 2 months (or whatever time might be decided on).
• Businesses could get a vote that counts more (such as Bike's R Us, the business, could have 3 or 4 votes count towards who the business itself wants in office, but, the business owners as people would be just their personal one vote).
Reason:
• As it stands, the COC seems like an awful idea. It feels very clique-y. Everyone that gets hired seemed buddy-buddy with eachother through RP or OOC means (server staff).
• Decisions are made from those in the COC (understandable), some already involved in businesses - and to think that there's no bias in these decisions is silly (example could be, a person in COC blocking an idea or potential move of a business simply because it might encroach on the business owned by the COC member, or they just have some sort of grudge against the business owner)
• If the person voted in pisses off the businesses, this all could provide good RP, potential legal RP and so on.
• Potentially open up the idea of voting in other government officials
Furthermore:
I feel the server staff should also step in when decisions stand to hurt the server health as a whole (in terms of spreading out the RP). I've recently made another post regarding revitalizing the North, and the next day one of the vital businesses that spread foot traffic and RP to other parts of this massive map - is being moved into Los Santos. A good chunk of the server is in Los Santos, 1/3rd of the entire state. Crime and Businesses, etc. Now, the only unique businesses/service in the North are Bike's R Us (bikes) and Culture Shock (stancing). What I mean by this is, if someone wants food, they have a whole slew of options in Los Santos, so, places like Pops or Blackwoods are not vital or unique businesses in this context. As well as crime, all of the chop spots are in LS as far as I know & there are no robbable houses in the North. Cargo was in the North, and I really have no idea how that functions, but, spread it out more. Give more drop spots around the state. I figure there's reasons behind smaller crime not being up North, but, I also feel those same reasons just feed into the what I see as the issue of having everything focused on Los Santos. Give smaller crime a shot in the North, and see if things adjust.
Finally:
I really feel like I could be shooting myself in the foot here, and after being a part of the community since 2020... it's a scary thought. But, I also feel like I can't just continue to sit by and bite my tongue.
I would hope this is not viewed as a personal attack at anyone IC or OOC who are in the COC. I'm simply frustrated by the power given to the entitiy as a whole and how it seems to affect a decent amount of the player-base. This is coming from someone who does not own a business IC, or have any real stake in the business area. I'm just simply observing actions and decisions and talking to people about it, and feel the need to express the opinion and idea here.
