The funny thing is Timmac/Proxy are probably the worst of the bunch for power gaming/meta.
What's shitty about the whole thing. The 800th attempted bank robbery the Leanbois have attempted actually set in motion some solid RP.
I feel Doyle handled this well. He showed the value of the life of a character in a virtual world. Should have just been a great learning experience for the Leanbois. Instead we end with this shit show, and exposed the rift going on with certain factions on the server.
It's mostly about IRL insecurities and jealousy, which is sad, because the hijinks the lean boys pull creates tons of solid RPs for cops and a lot of other players. The value of life argument gets silly two because cops always just barge into a bank robbery after a minute or two anyways. Every time they tried the hostage / negotiation thing it just lead to them getting completely gunned down instantly.
I can't disagree with you on value of life with the police. The breech they attempted on this last bank robbery was handled awful, and Eli lead it. They had plenty of officers online, including 3 that were on scene when the officers went down. None of them bothered to cruise the perimeter of the bank, and surrounding area, an area where they have been ambushed before plenty of times. They Had Lang, and Tony pinned in the bank. Should have waited for more back up.
Instead Eli goes for the rush, Ends up shooting Bucky down with crossfire, and Eli goes down a few seconds after. Game over. Doyle was a sitting duck for the ambush team.
Moon is streaming, fyi. I'm not surprised about Eli. It was only a matter of time before he started letting his true feelings shine through and alcohol always does it. I'll be surprised if this community makes it to their "final" server. Lang can definitely make it without GTA RP, but I'm not so sure Tony can. Saab/Timmac/Proxy can't. Nino(DashMedi) is the lead on MazeRP, another GTA RP platform, so he's always been on borrowed time with that community.
About the armor car situation. Tony obtained that information of armored cars entering the game via discord I believe. Could that be where the meta accusations are coming from?
I just assumed when Tony brought it up they were just testing it out really. Were the characters in game not supposed to know? That whole situation was odd. I watched the whole thing live, and outside of the outside intel Tony got, there was no meta during that actual attempt to rob that armored car.
They botched that job so bad from start to end.
