ARAC personel should be able to ride Ifrits. I've talked to about this permissions to use an orange Ifrit for an ARAC vehicle and he said the rule was my main problem and that he could not adjust the rules. Therefore i would like to express my idea now. If an ARAC member owned an Ifrit from Blackmarket, and they painted it orange like the ARAC color then i think it should be allowed to use them for on duty ARAC.
"Ups":
It's armour plated and it keeps me safe in dangerous environments
It has heavy duty wheels that dont break during collisions so i dont have to use my toolkits on myself
It's fast offroad and i can get to my clients faster if they are out in the field
It's a strong vehicle and it can take my to areas that are otherwise inaccessible with the standard issue Service Offroad
It can be used "Love tap" my clients vehicles, should it get stuck on a rock or something like that, without breaking my car in the process
It can hold more toolkits and supplies
My clients feel safe in it, should i need to give them a ride to somewhere
"Downs":
(1) It can be hard to manouver around towns and can cause traffic accidents
(2) It's hard to find a decent parking spot for it
(3) The vehicle can be intimidating in nature and people could fear it if it was parked in public
(4) It can be stolen and used for malicious purposes
(5) Clients who are uneducated or just didnt read my message could mistake me for rebels and flee the area and call authorities
(6) It is contrary to the rule:
(8.3.2) ARAC members must be using the ARAC offroad while they are performing ARAC duties
To drive in the Ifrit while on ARAC duty
Solutions for "Downs"
(1) I have prior experience with driving the Ifrit and i have not yet caused any loss of life in traffic with the Ifrit and i am a skilled mechanic so i can easily repair broken vehicles, should i cause someone to break down
(2) The Ifrit can be parked outside city limits if needed
(3) As a part of the experiment i have parked the Ifrit in this spot and i always sit next to it at all times so people can come and ask if they have questions regarding the vehicle, to assure people that it is not a danger to them or anyone else
(4) It could be stolen and in that case i would be perfectly fine with having it scrapped, getting it stolen would mean that i look out for it sufficiently and that is on me
(5) The reason why people find the Ifrit intimidating is because it has been hyped up to be dangerous and mainly commandeered by rebels, I personally think people should'nt let their lives be affected by fear and fear mongering and allowing certain ARAC people to own these cars would help people fear eachother less
(6) This rule can be expanded to be:
(8.3.2) ARAC members must be using the ARAC offroad (or an orange painted Ifrit with special permission from CSI or the Mayor) while they are performing ARAC duties
instead of:
(8.3.2) ARAC members must be using the ARAC offroad while they are performing ARAC duties
To avoid confrontation with staff
I understand if you deny this request and let down my suggestion because of the issue with the server rule but it actually makes for some really good roleplay. Many civilians and police officers, notably Romell Dudley and Killersky had very good and enjoyable roleplay and i spent more time arguing my way out of trouble with the police than i actually did responding to calls and it was lots of fun.
To clarify i think you should still have to personally ask for permission by the police or mayor before using the Ifrit, but im simply asking if this can be made allowed by the rules to use it for ARAC duty
Thank you for your consideration
