Also, your autobans seem to spam. There's a way to fix that.

Any IBan edit is basically broken in many ways.
Some edits are better than others. I implore people looking to host a cityrpg to make their own mod from scratch or at least attempt to fix as many bugs as they can before trying to host. Some things require live audiences to fine tune, of course. Also, If you're looking to host for popularity only, not because you actually like the gamemode/want to have fun, please don't.

If you don't have a text version of the rules it's not 100% his fault.
We do

It takes plastic to build, essentially making building, blocklands main mechanic annoying as forget to use, criminals abuse the auto banner for rapid fire to avoid jail, resources pay hardly anything and starting cash is somewhere around $30. From the beginning you're going to be having a stuff time if you think you should be a laborer, because not only will you be getting less money than you would if you just collected civilian incomes, the resource sell location isn't marked at all.

   The gamemode version used is buggy and extremely narrow. The game essentially boils down to wait for paychecks until you can get edu for drug dealer, wait some more so you can actually afford to build a house, then wait some MORE so you can afford to place drugs, in which then it just turns into more waiting to collect them. Any other avenue of money gain or progression is even slower. The only thing fun that a cityrpg has going towards it is getting to build something neat for others to see, or start your own organization such as a cartel and progress to ruling the criminal world. This server turns it into an endless grind to just build a super basic house. Anything extra or nice looking is going to cost you a stuffload.

   This system is basically encouraging box houses. The map looks alright which is the only thing going for this server/mod edit.Why is this even a thing? The only way a rapid-fire script could ever be abused is with the hammer. Even then how is that a big deal? Why fix something that isn't broken. It has only caused more problems than it is solving.

tl;dr  I advise against this server for numerous reasons.

These are my opinions and experiences with the server. I would like to hear other peoples opinions on the subject. There may be positives/negatives I have missed.
See you may think plastic is annoying but its a challenge ok? Maybe you don't actually like to "work" for things but that's how a city rpg goes, also im almost on all the time i haven't once seen/heard a case where rapid fire is used to escape cops that's bullstuff coming out your mouth. Yes we know rapid fire banner is loving buggy as stuff but dglider hasn't been on in 2 days and I myself cant fix it, we also use the rapid fire autobanner for the baton but we know found a way to patch that without this temporary autobanner. From what i saw you were on for like 10 minutes correct me if im wrong, you joined very annoyed idk why. And lastly the boxed houses yes theres boxes but not all players know how to build good and uh theres like 4/5 lots on the entire server?

It's not a challenge if it's super easy just takes a long time. That's called grinding mechanics.
You left the server and I saw someone use the rapid fire one to get out of a 6 star arrest. It was pretty bullstuff.

I was on for about 20-30 minutes mining and checking things out. It all seemed fine at the start until all the ore I mined didn't even pay out $1 per ore and I spent 3 minutes asking where the sell brick for ores even was. Rest of the time I was checking out how you were supposed to build and the other various mechanics. Really there isn't much time that needs to be spent on the server to have a solid grasp of it since I know the original mod in and out. My opinions and observations aren't meant to be directed towards you or your staff negatively but rather the server and its mechanics.
and uh theres like 4/5 lots on the entire server?
Because it takes so damn long just to make one.

From what I've just experienced today, most people who join the server want to build first before playing with the mod.

Why is spawnjailing allowed?

That rapid fire authban rule is getting annoying. You should just edit the datablock to prevent the rapid fire.

Its neither theres nothing that states in the rules that spawn jailing is allowed

Well I did get spawnjailed, oh well

Rapidfire banning is going away.  Along with ATM hacking.

Dreamy taxes, as I've been calling it, is being added.  It's like treasure chests that collect money while you're offline.  Only the treasure chest is a coffin.  ... Which you sleep in.
Enter a coffin that belongs to you, say /sleep, and you will be logged off of the server.  If other people are logged in while you're away, your coffin collects a portion of their tax money.  When you log back in, you get that money.  If someone clicks your coffin while you're away.  They take the money out of the coffin, and the coffin stops collecting money.

Next up I need to rework the prices of lots, road bricks, info bricks, etc.  It's all too expensive.  The higher tiers of education are a little bit too cheap. So I'll be adjusting those as well.
After that comes bank robberies and safes.
Then maybe real estate fixing. ... Dunno what order this all is gonna happen in.

I think the spawn needs some work.  Text rules.  Hints to go explore the city to find the Warehouse, Resource Buyer, Bank, and Police Station.  And then small cash or plastic rewards to new players for finding those places.
