Bodyguards

[metalxkoz]

I'd like to suggest a few things for the newly formed bodyguard faction :

• Colored names so we can be distinguished from the rest of the Los Santos population.

• A few cars at the Mayor's Mansion for Bodyguard use (black Sultans?)

• A "/duty" type of deal where we would spawn with maybe 1/2 armor.

• Department chat so we can co-mingle with the police if there's a problem.

I still totally understand that we're "not the law" and are just there for security, but in my opinion, a mayor's bodyguard should have these things.

• Department chat so we can co-mingle with the police if there's a problem.

Hell no.

But it would be useful in scenarios where there is only one bodyguard on guarding the mayor and a car or two of soulless gangsters comes and tries to kill the mayor. One person cannot hold against a car full of goons, and if he could contact the police he could ask for backup and the police would come to his aid.

Other than that, coloured names seems pretty nice, I thought you were a civilian when I first saw you.

i support what niko said ,we are mayoral bodyguards for gods sake we will get into situations where we get attacked then we will need back up from lspd as we are governoment officials too, and about the cars and weps and armor in my opinion they are a must so please act quickly before a mayor gets assigned.

Eh, I don't see anything wrong with this. Although being distinguished as bodyguards may cause more drama than good.

• A few cars at the Mayor's Mansion for Bodyguard use (black Sultans?)

I always thought it was cool on WTFMAN to see the Mafia do a convoy with the don in a stretch and with a Huntley (or whatever the SUV is called) escort in front and back.

• A "/duty" type of deal where we would spawn with maybe 1/2 armor.

I still think free armor should be law enforcement only.

• Department chat so we can co-mingle with the police if there's a problem.

You guys can call 911 like the rest of the civilians.

Or... you could just hop on ventrillo and chat with the fine lspd we have on szr, or make a /g chat for lspd and bodyguards.

Niko, as a bodyguard leader, should be able to use /gov.

no no no a thousand times no

[metalxkoz]

Please, ignore my friend Sam, as he is ignorant on the subject. I still stand with my original requests, minus maybe the /d because of the Vent suggestion. We could do that. We would just need the pass, or is there one?

[Jason_Bourne]

The less "non-cops" knowing the vent-password, the better. But perhaps a separate passworded channel for this kind of thing?

[Samiam22]

A Vent server costs real money you know.

EDIT: And make it so that Niko can make people bodyguards, because I have been waiting for about 3 days to become a bodyguard and Ari isn't on at the time. (( Seems my graphics card CAN handle SA after all ))

[metalxkoz]

A sub channel would be perfectly fine with me.

[Samiam22]

I don't see why you shouldn't use the Dispatch channel though.

[Mrado]

I don't see why you shouldn't use the Dispatch channel though.

You're civilians.

[Samiam22]

I don't think civilians guard the mayor much.

The problem with this, is that every other time we've had bodyguards, it ended in mass fagotry on their part. I think Niko should only be allowed to hire more guards as long as he understands that if someone he hires is caught being a fagot, the entire faction gets banned.

Or, let Ari continue to be the one doing the hiring.

Niko, as a bodyguard leader, should be able to use /gov.

Hell, we don't trust most of the PD to use /gov.

I don't think civilians guard the mayor much.

Well, since you guys are not law enforcement and have no law enforcement powers, you're basically just civilians with guns and tasers.

[Chris Hansen]

Well, since you guys are not law enforcement and have no law enforcement powers, you're basically just civilians with guns and tasers.

No they don't have tasers thank god.

[Keegan_Russo]

No they don't have tasers thank god.

Hahahahah, ok maybe they wont all get banned in 1 week for taser fagotry then.

[Rachael]

It was me, I got the entire mayors faction banned for tazer abuse.

[Samiam22]

How does one abuse the tazer?

[NeaT_FreaK]

WTH, irl the mayor is protected by government officials that have more power that law enforcement ,however that is not the point and i agreed to to follow lspd's orders ,but that doesn't say that we are civilians because we are not ,or else we could all have been arrested for owning weapons.
and about the cars hell we wont take the mayor on a freeway.
and i think i got a solution to the lspd chating problem, if we call 911 and report they should show up and not to ignore us;finally about the guns and armor ,if we get attacked we wont get attacked by a person we will get attacked by a gang so we cant just go kill them with bats .u guys tell us to RP then how with these conditions??

You're civilians in bodyguard skins, end of story.

[NeaT_FreaK]

then i think we will get arrested next time we escort the mayor, for carrying heavy weaponry.then, we are mercs?? i don't think so.

[Rachael]

You, as bodyguards, are there to trade your lives for that of the mayor. That's why you have the broad shouldered skins, so you can provide effective cover if (when) the mayor is fired apon.

Assasin: It doesn't work, Frank. God doesn't punish the wicked and reward the righteous. Everyone dies. Some die because they deserve to; others die simply because they come from Minneapolis. It's random and it's meaningless.
Frank bodyguard: Well, if none of this means anything... why kill the mayor?
Assasin: To punctuate the dreariness.

[DuncUK]

then, we are mercs?? i don't think so.

I think you've got the wrong idea about the mayors bodyguard. As I understand it, you are privately hired and have no greater powers than that of a civilian, like the sort of bodyguard a celebrity might hire. Yes, in essence you are very much like mercenaries... subject to the law of the land you operate in. You are lucky that you are allowed to carry M4s, remember that you have got to this position with a minimal application process and no training at all. If you were to be a government agency with Police powers then you would have had to go through an application process like the LSPD. As it is, I understand that most of your members have been rejected by the LSPD.

Like SA News, you may get some preferential treatment from the LSPD if you treat them well and don't act like whiny dicks.
