Thoughts on a gamemode concept -

Herro SAMP community!
I'm here to gather the communities opinion on a gamemode I am actively developing. Feedback is welcome as always.
Quote from Wikipedia:
Quote:
A dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional, that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of a utopia. Such societies appear in many works of fiction, particularly in stories set in a speculative future. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization,[1] totalitarian governments, environmental disaster,[2] or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Elements of dystopias may vary from environmental to political and social issues.

The gamemode is based around heavy player interaction along with a medium to heavy RP level. It will revolve around the city of Los Santos and it's surrounding parts although it will have many custom mappings. It will be a "Dystopian" roleplay gamemode. In Los Santos, it will be controlled by a government that is corrupt. Not in a DM'ing way, but like paying off gangs, executions of political enemies, etc. There will be a few factions including:
- The City Guard(Basically a dystopian version of the police)
- The Army
- The Insuregency(Rebel like faction)
- Medical Department
- Government News(In charge of propoganda and such)
We're trying to make Los Santos a place where players won't spend the majority of the time in. So when players reach level 2, they gain access into the wastelands.
*More info coming soon*

How about stop being stubborn and quit acting like you're something over the internet. He clearly stated that he wanted some thoughts about it. Your post is for sure not on-topic.
Anyway, it sounds cool and all however how are you going to deliver a server which is based in the future when you're limited to SA-MP's objects who all are based around the 90s?

The OP stated that they are already developing this gamemode, they didn't ask for suggestions, they asked for opinions.
My opinion is that these posts are silly. It wasn't a
"I had an idea, should I do it?" thread, it was a
"I am doing this. Tell me your opinion on what I am already doing." thread.
I don't see the point of the thread, because I highly doubt that they are going to stop scripting it just because a few random people who will never visit the server said "I don't like this idea".
All it is doing is giving other people the chance to take the idea.
Again, this is my OPINION.

That server is a server I am a staff member on. This is entirely different, and it is a side project me and a couple of my friends are working on. Nothing to do with Liberty.

I like it, but as far as i see it right now, everyone will be corrupt, so if you have money you'll rule everything.

Why would you possibly restrict a governmental faction to be corrupt, I somehow don't get this.

We'll try finding ways to balance this, but that is the reason the insurgency exists. To fight back against the corruption. There will be multiple playstyles though, so not everyone will be a corrupt person.

The goverment faction wouldn't entirely be corrupt, but people who aren't corrupt will be ridiculed by the goverment news through propaganda. They could help roll out changes that would be in favor of the people. Without a corrupt government, then the insurgency couldn't exist. A corrupt somewhat government could open up a ton of RP possibilities. Spies, political government assassins, insurgent inside of the government, etc. Although we will be working on the concepts and such.
Love hearing your guys opinions! We'll take them into consideration!
