Some people really need to step back and give themselves a shake.
How the f
k can you be upset your cars been blown up?
You just claim and get another , its not as if its real or even different to everyone elses car.
I can understand children maybe being upset but your supposed to be adults.

Couldn't agree more, it's a game based on guns and weapons essentially, it would be no where near as fun without them. If your car gets destroyed by another player, yes it is annoying but it happens!How the f

I use the rule of - if you've blown someone up expect to be blown up in return, possibly multiple times
That said, I do kinda enjoy having my most expensive cars blown up when they've been shot to bits, I don't have to drive all the way back to my house and the other player's paid an expensive price.

Way i look at it is if someone decides to sticky bomb me or rpg my car then he's going to blow it up no point getting stty about it.
I do get bummed out when you do a race and a couple just miss out most the track so they can fk your race up near the end of a lap, and people who ram you out the way then don't stop to let you retake your position, however this isn't forza and if i'm not racing against clean racers then it's a risk.
Re the new update , it's a real shame they didn't introduce a surface to air missile launcher so it equaled things out when some tit blows everyone up in a jet.
I've not purchased any new update vehicles but did get a alpha and entity.

Paul13 might be a homo but he is right, civ takes it all way to seriously. It's a game, if you are going to get annoyed about the odd accident or dent in a car then play single player. Our crew is meant to be fun and kick ass, that's what it does.
If you think this is bad, don't go back to page 150. 
I'd like to point out that I'm against griefing too, in the sense that if people aren't mutually having fun then it's against the spirit of the game. But in this situation I was kicked for something that I was genuinely never a part of. I logged into Rockstar social club and saw MATFRO and omega19s were kicked a day ago too. If they're persistently pissing people off, fine, but I think one person making a snap decision that prevents someone from playing with their mates is quite a big deal. I'm not saying they shouldn't ever get kicked, but maybe given notice before it happens.

That's fair enough Paul.
I've seen messages from you and Tom's nephew, I agree it all adds up. Will fill in Civ when we're online. Just this whole nonsense of personally bashing Civ on the thread is out of order, and there's no need for people jumping on the bandwagon either. It is a game, it is meant to be fun. I agree some people take it too seriously, but hopefully the guidelines will sort that out.
Blimey boys.

I agree I was a bit harsh, but only because I was kicked for something I had no idea about and then given a hard time for trying to say it wasn't me! I'm like the dude from the fugitive, only whinier.
Hopefully all's good now, anyway. Bloody crew dramas.
We are just too 'hood.

Hello all crew members.
It’s apparent that there is a need to layout some rules and guidelines for crew sessions and general gameplay etiquette.
As Crew Leader I am publishing the following ‘don’t be a dick’ Rules:
No Persistent killing - purposely killing/injuring another player. Accidents happen, if it’s an accident an apology should be communicated, verbally or a message (a single ‘S’ can be sent as a quick apology, Messages can be sent to other players in the session via the ingame phone)
No Damage to property - This is another person’s vehicle, weather they own it or have just ‘acquired’ it. As Piston headers we take great pride in our cars/bike/planes and try to keep them in A1 condition. Again an apology is to be expected as above, a quick ‘beep’ will do!
No Interruption to gameplay - So you’ve just resprayed the simeon car and are trying to deliver it in mint condition, another crew member comes along and damages it, this will not be tolerated. This also includes interrupting a gang attack (feel free to join in and help) getting in someone’s way or general disruption when a player is trying to achieve/set up something.
No Bringing the police – If you have the police after you, please do your best to stay away from other players, We know it takes nothing to get the police after you, and doing this intentionally is not welcome.
Violation of the rules will result in a warning, Do it again and you will be out the crew.
The only exception to these rules is when its mutually agreed upon.
These rules apply in any crew session. If you want to play outside the rules, start an invite only session with your mates or go in a public lobby.
The following are Guidelines, not compulsory, but will benefit all crew members,
Get a headset! It can be so much easier to play with a headset, an apology can be given straight away, you can explain to others what you are trying to do.
Take it in turns to speak - nothing can be heard when everyone’s talking at once, its easier if you address the person when talking to them, on busy sessions please keep ‘general chat’ to a minimum.
Offer to start an activity - no one will shout at you if you suggest a mission/deathmatch/race, or a tour of the country side, or off roading, or formation flying etc. When staring a mission send an invite to all crew members (unless a group of you has already been agreed upon)
Helps not hinder - if you see a crew member in trouble, help them out, If you see them on foot, offer a lift, If you see a group of us, come and join in the game play!
Sunday session – We do our best to all meet up online on a Sunday evening around 8/9pm the contents of these sessions can be almost anything, last one was formation flying, in the past we have also been off roading, doing stunts, showing off our cars, finding stunt jumps etc etc. If you have a suggestion please post it up or suggest it in game. The sessions are usually be started by myself or the commissioners and invites will be regularly sent to all members.
Invite your mates – the crew is not restricted to PH’ers, we will welcome in your family/friends, but it will be your responsibility to make them aware of the rules. There will be a small leniency towards newer players.
If anyone would like to make a suggestion to add or amend to these rules, please let me know.
If anyone has a problem with another crew member, please bring it to my or a Commissioner’s attention. The commissioners are:
Civpilot
Broadspeed
Storrsy24
Polerbert
The Rules apply to everyone in the crew, and everyone will be dealt with the sameway, regardless of rank, level or prettiness.
No part of this post is aimed at any particular player, nor is it meant to be condescending. We are all here to enjoy the game, and I hope that by understanding the above we can continue to kick ass!
Thanks All!

Do you think if we had some sort of an organised date we could set up a playlist with some captures and versus missions? I feel like they are great aspects of the game that are hardly utilised by people these days. I try to play them but there never seem to be any lobbies with people. Its all racing and missions, which is great, but variety would be nice once in a while.
