​

Hello and welcome to Innovation Roleplay. We understand that you have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to servers and we also understand that there are some specific things in which you want from a server. So we have created this section to give you as much information about the server as we could before you go ahead and start your application process.
What we are looking for
It is the goal of Innovation Roleplay to create the most realistic and fun experience which is possible. So because of this, we are looking for people who are willing to take the time to create realistic scenes and add to RP. In addition, it does not matter to us whether you have a lot of experience or no experience at all we just care about whether you want to create good RP or not.
What framework and CAD do we use
We are an economy and Vmenu hybrid. What this means is that we have QB-Core for all of our main stuff which keeps the game realistic and fun. however, we also utilize Vmenu for some things like character customization. When it comes to CAD we use Sanoran CAD. We decided to go this route because we found it to be the best and most customizable option. What this means is that we have all custom reports, 10 codes, and penal codes.
What departments do we offer

• Civilian Department
• Emergency Services (This includes Fire, EMS, and Communications)
• San Andreas Highway Patrol
• Blaine County Sheriff's Office

Our minimal restriction policy
Here at Innovation Roleplay, the founders have agreed that one of the most annoying things is joining a server and being restricted on almost everything you can do. whether it is the types of vehicles that you can drive, types of RP you can do, or weapons you can buy. So here at Innovation roleplay, we decided to make it so that the second you join the server you have minimal restrictions. What this means is that as long as your RP follows the community guidelines, is realistic, and has a story then it is fair game.
How many members do we have and how many people are on per patrol
Currently, we are just starting so although this means that we do not have a lot of members and we do not have the most active patrols we are still growing and now is a good time to get in especially if you want to go into law enforcement.
Our current patrol schedule
We currently are trying to have a patrol every day at 4pm PST, 6pm CST, 7pm EST. However, because we are a new server times may change depending on the day and when people are available.

Hello players!
Welcome to Bizarre Battle Royale, where we promise you a truly perplexing experience. Here on top of your favourite chicken dinner you'll come across a giant chicken monster ready to make a dinner out of you. But hey, that's not all, we've also thrown in a horde of zombies! They bite, throw things, explode, and just create a real madness all around. Just think of it as a mini apocalypse simulator.
Feeling confused? Don't sweat it too much. While you battle your way through the chaos, keep an eye out for the OP Coins & Items. Those will make you a real force to be reckoned with!
Oh, and don't forget about the other players! Just like in a regular Battle Royale, the last team standing wins. So, make sure you grab your weapons and get ready to fight tooth and nail for your survival! And don't forget to pet the chicken monster on your way out.

Basic Rules

Some bullet points here, to make things a little easier:

• Number of players - From 8 to 16 bewilderedplayers fighting for survival.
  • Squads of 1-4 players. (TPP)
• Defeat Zombies, Monster Chickens or Players and collect OP Coins.
• Use OP Coins to purchase OP Items.
• Use OP Items to become insane at this video game.

OP Coins & Items

Do you know what's better than finding spare change in your old pants? Picking up OP coins from freaky zombies, unlucky players, or even clucking chickens! Yup, these bad boys might make you so overpowered that other players will run for the hills when they see you coming. Just imagine the power trip! And it's easy-peasy too: snatch those Coins, open the Item Shop, and BOOM! You're ready to dominate the Battlegrounds.
Check out the list of available abilities below and discover just how overpowered you might become:

• Vitality Serum - Increases Max HP.
• Speed Steroid - Increases movement speed.
• Monster Hunter Serum - Increases attack damage against monsters.
• Man Hunter Serum - Increases attack damage against players.
• Strength Boosting Steroid - Reduces vertical and horizontal recoil.
• Potent Painkiller - Grants temporary invulnerability.
• Sensory Booster - Grants the ability to see players behind obstacles.
• Foresight Booster - Grants the ability to see enemies on the map.

Intrigued? Here is more:

• OP Coins can be accumulated and used in your next Bizarre Battle Royale matches.
• Top 3 teams earn more OP Coins at the end of the game.

And last but not least. OP items effects are temporary so use them wisely, or you might end up as a zombie snack.

Zombies

It's pretty much the end of the world, and zombies are leading the charge! These fellows are faster, stronger, and more cunning than ever and they won't stop until they've made a meal out of you. So grab your weapons, prepare your OP items and get ready to run & gun!
Oh, and for those of you who like to get up close and personal with the zombies, we've got a short description to help you get to know your new zombie friends a little better:

• Lab Zombie
  • A zombie who didn't quite make it through the lab's trials. Low health and easy to take down, they're basically just a warm-up for the real zombies.
• Brawler Zombie
  • This zombie is quick to anger and packs a punch. They may not have the health of other zombies, but their fiery fists will still leave a mark.
• Sprinter Zombie
  • This one has been hitting the gym and it shows. They're fast and furious, making them a real challenge for players. Take them down quickly before they catch up to you.
• Hulking Zombie
  • Hulking Zombie is a real tank, with loads of health and a slow-moving frame. It's best to keep your distance and pepper them with shots until they go down.
• Flamebelcher Zombie
  • Flamebelcher prefers to attack from afar, hurling Molotov cocktails at unsuspecting players. They can make it difficult to hold your ground, so it's best to take them out with a well-placed shot.
• Boombiter Zombie
  • This fellow just can't seem to let go of that grenade, which he carries around like an accessory. This guy is so resilient it can only be taken out with a headshot. Take him down first, and the explosion will take care of his surrounding friends.
• Munitions Zombie
  • This zombie takes it to the next level by using red zone grenades to really mess with players. They can make it difficult to find a safe spot to take cover, so bring them down as fast as possible.
• C4 Zombie
  • This zombie is not to be trifled with, as they come equipped with explosive C4. They're fast and deadly, so take them out before they get too close and blow you up.

Monster Chicken

Ready to get some chicken? Well, this Monster Chicken here is ready to get some of you!
This feathered fiend is lightning-fast and can jump over obstacles like it's no big deal. It can and even breathe fire like a dragon so you better come prepared if you don't want to turn into its dinner. And if you manage to defeat this monstrosity, you'll end up getting some pretty overpowered items that will surely help you survive this "bizarrity".
Extra intel on the feathered fellow:

• Monster Chicken drops high-level OP items and a bunch of OP coins.
• Also drops the Invulnerability Item, which is the only way to obtain it outside of the item shop.
• Monster Chicken can respawn when it feels like it. There is a pattern though.
• It hits, hard.
