Complaints about promotions etc unfair etc

[Winters]

Exactly.
If you dedicate yourself to the force, you get promoted quickly. I'm a great example of that. I was an officer for just over a month before I got promoted to Senior Officer. I dedicated 2 years as a freecop before applying to become a Cadet, and that lasted less than a month. I even became the most decorated Cadet in the force. Why did I get all these things so easily? Dedication. I've only been a suspect 3 times EVER in SA:MP, and 2 were for unofficially training freecops/cadets in chases. The other one was when I first started there and didn't know what to do. I've never been in a mafia nor have I committed any actual crimes. I'm ALWAYS a cop...never a criminal or even a civilian. I've also never had a complaint/case report against me from a civilian or officer. It's the stuff like that that makes me worthy of such promotions and awards so easily. If I were to suddenly join a mafia and start causing mayhem, that'd definitely slow the process down. 

That is the same as me :P I actually never joined a mafia before, and never was a suspect. I'm sure alot of people know that here as well. That's why i grow very fast in the FBI, i know this has nothing to do with FBI. But still, it's kinda the same thing. :P

I'm faster 

About 2 weeks on freecop, apply on cadet
Train and exam in 1 month, accepted to officer
2 months (or 3?), promoted to senior officer
Another 1 month later, about to be Sergeant in next ceremony but suspended for "Shot DMer infront of Captain's eyes"
Then getting worse each day 
Promoted to Officer again, demoted again
((Some I forgot... I really missed my old time  ))
Accepted as FBI Cadet anyway
Will keep doing best 

You also just got demoted for deathmatching and rulebreaking...AGAIN. Seriously dude, fix yourself. Quit screwing up if you want to be promoted back again... :P

[Deuce]

Will keep doing best 

Your... "best"...? 

[Bianconeri]

James can be a very good cop, if he wants too
he wasnt senior for nothing
dont know what went wrong from that point though, but it was straight line up to senior,
and inmediatly straight line down

as Sugar said, james stop playing around, and you will get up later

I have noticed that a lot of people in-game who do not know my previous alias have been asking how I became an officer. The fact that it is none of their business suggests to me that maybe they are jealous. Jealousy can't be present in role playing. A good way of becoming a higher rank more quickly is to communicate well with higher ranked SAPD members and attend as many RP situations and training as possible.

[[R*]Pancher]

I mean seriously, you wont have more fun with an higher rank, you dont get any advantage over other cops with an higher rank, you can still have the same "fun" as Freecop as an Officer have.. I have alot of times an good and fun time with Freecops, give every inivdual a chance to prove there skills what so ever rank or background.

[Bianconeri]

there are a little advantages higher rankeds got,
you can actually organise something at situations, as low ranked none will listen,
we got SMG and also we got more experience,
but this can be done as freecop also

we all have been a freecop, without freecops there wouldnt be a me and a you

also Trojan ppl only ask you because they dont know you,
it isnt that hard to answer that you are old player, and then its over
if you react angry old the time it wont get better
also they wonder who you are, not that you are an abuser and dont deserve the rank

Exactly, I enjoy being an officer at the moment, I would like to lead in the future but just not right now. Being a freecop is a very good way to shock people and show them how much of a good RPer you are.

Bianconeri, they ask me how I became an officer so quick, they don't ask who I am. I never react angry... I always tell them who I am... Nobody said anything about them thinking I am an abuser.

[Bianconeri]

you reacted angry here, but ok
and also if they wonder how come you became officer that fast,
it means they dont know who you are, since they think you have been around for a short time

but if you changed name, it means you played longer then them,
they dont know that, so if u say i play for ..., then they know why

but w/e lets just stop

[TrojanTM]

you reacted angry here, but ok

No... I didn't.

and also if they wonder how come you became officer that fast,

OK, your opinion. My point is that the people who feel it is unfair that other's become a cop more quickly than them, most of the time are jealous. At the end of the day, it is a game.

Anyway... End of the discussion about what I said, agree or don't, your choice. I don't want to continue this discussion.

You know what, some people here were cadets for 5> months, and some of them became in less than a month. Where is jealousity? It's more sounds like unfair. And at most of times it wasn't the dedication of the cadet, but it was because a lack of trainers/examers (At the Start of the Summer 2008 there were only Captains and Chiefs examining, which most of them were inactive)

[[R*]Pancher]

One of the reasons why some people takes longer time is cos it takes more time for them to learn, also intrest of being cop is another factor that can change the time. There is some changes from when you was trying to become Officer Altair, as you mention not only Captains and above gives training. We are still trying to make it easier for those who are intrested to become Officer faster then before!

[lance]

Well, i remember when i had to get my exam, chief's PC was broken -.- god damn it. It was frustrating and i feel with the people who need to wait long for getting promotion, the good now in waiting is that cadets got cop skins now. Anyway im changing subject here...

[[R*]Drix]

While, i was on a training, i were with an Cadet my rank was a freecop, and we were training, about codes and suffs like that actuality i did know them but, the trainer asked the cadet, so i needed to talk on pm about other stuff, and i saw an ARPD cadet, didn't know the codes very well, Pm's me to tell one off the codes, i was shocked how an ARPD cadet, didn't knew those...he sayed so much simple things, on training... i just.. I'm a freecop, and wen i see him as an cadet not knowing the codes very good... that.. that suprises me i just dont know how did he reached on that rank.


PS: i don't wanna tell the names i will iff its needed)

[JaMeS Alterlis]

Some Cadet and Officer (Yes, Officer)
Know the codes and answer questions correct only when in training, coz they use Page Up and PMing other
or have a Paper of Codes infront of their PC or they Pause to read it on website
And when they passed, they forget most of it (maybe all).

They didn't remember it by heart, they just wanna have fun, but I'm not against this, u can have fun

[smey]

Whats wrong with having the code's next to you on a paper? No offense, but thats the best way of learning them.

Indeed. I still have a list of 10- and other scanner ARPD Codes since Summer 2008. And i still have SABD/SABU Command list too.

Well, i don't try to complain or so, but also there was playing a factor of an inactiviy, unlike now, with access to Level Two Trainers + SAPD Academy classes.

[Bianconeri]

i admit i do have a code list, and also printed laws
but im not using them anymore, i know them almost all out of my head,
the laws i know 100% and will never make any fault in that

whats wrong with it smey?
well depends on what moment, during exam or training DONT,

training: its not for nothing called training, its to learn you what you dont know,
if you cheat so know everything, the trainer cant help you

exam: test of your knowledge, not the papers knowledge,
during a chase and all you dont have time to look on paper

but just normal work having paper close isnt bad, since we all learned it that way,

but as officer and up you should not need a paper

i had not much trouble for exam though, well i first had pancher but didnt saw him to continue,
but i had Legend who inmediatly continued and finished

[smey]

I never had training.

It took some time for me to apply, and when I gfinally ot tested, I knew them already.
