It really is a little disconcerting to see citizens gathering in groups around CP, and even ignoring bullets being fired into the ground at their feet in an attempt to make them go away.
I actually had a very enjoyable fight using PainRP on another server recently with a recruit, with me as the rebellious citizen. Even the DvL, who was simply spectating the fight, said he enjoyed it. (They were also much more lenient in their punishment afterward than CG's CCA...)
This is a great guide! Thanks for the tips.
