I don't like CityRP so much. Living as a cop is plain boring because the only thing you do is chase people with a golden hammer, and get money. But you can only buy lots with it because if you hurt anyone with a weapon, you get demerits. demerits = jail + being a cop = no cop anymore. As a criminal you mostly sit in jail (which isn't fun at all), and as a criminal you can't buy lots because you don't get enough money to pay rent. And as a shop keeper, you just sit and wait in your shop for customers. Its just like being in jail! As a criminal, you can earn money by stealing it from other people, but after, you KNOW your gonna get jailed. And you can pay it off, but that costs you the money you stole, and sometimes even more!
...But that's my opinion.
