  1. Hello all, Just as as hobby project I've started collecting historical data for players online GTA:W over time. As of 28/12/2018 I only have around a day and a half of data, but the plan is to run the program continuously. This is more of a curiosity than anything else. If you want to see player count information for yourself you can find it here: https://unhostile.com/playerCount/ - Data is captured every 10 minutes. This uses a public RAGE-MP API and is not affiliated with GTA:W in any way. Here's a screenshot of what it's like so far: I'll be adding a couple extra little features for those interested in the coming days. If you have any suggestions please let me know! Old Version:

  2. Short description: Allow players to leave phone messages for individuals who aren't online. Detailed description: When you call/text a number that's valid, but the player is logged off, you will be given the option to leave a one-line message that they will be able to view on login. Commands to add: /missedcalls (or something similar to check messages) Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? There would be the obvious benefit of being able to interact with people who're offline if you need to get them a time-sensitive piece of information, not to mention that it's a realistic way of contacting individuals and I have no idea why we haven't suggested it yet. Additional information: N/A

  3. Unfortunately I have been a victim to real life identity theft and got into big debt. I am currently working on fixing that situation along with working at the same time and spending time with my daughter. Will try to get back active as soon as possible. My PC has been compromised so I am not available for now.

  4. Little Seoul, Los Santos Little Seoul is a Korean-influenced neighborhood within the city of Los Santos. It is a highly diverse, dense and working-class enclave with a sizable Korean minority and has a far higher proportion of foreign-born residents than the average Los Santos County district. The neighborhood is characterized by small, local businesses which commonly have English and Hangeul names, as well as the dense apartment blocks that the majority of residents reside in, the largest of which is the thirteen-story tall Dream Tower. The district is distinct from many American Koreatowns due to the coexistence of commercial and residential life and demographic change in recent decades. Although the name suggests Little Seoul is a traditional ethnic enclave, there are a variety of ethnic and cultural minorities in the neighborhood with the Hispanic population now being a larger minority group than the Koreans themselves. In spite of this, the area remains culturally Korean with Korean businesses and traditions, such as food, remaining predominant. Korean culture within Little Seoul has began to draw from and blend with other cultures and groups, most notably Hispanic culture, with cuisine such as ‘Korean-Mexican fusion’ and lowrider culture becoming increasingly adopted within modern day Korean-American society. History Korea’s self-imposed isolation was brought to an end by the United States-Korea Treaty of 1882. The resulting diplomatic relations between both the United States and Korea enabled the start of Korean migration to the United States. Koreans travelled to the US in several major stages, the earliest of these was between 1903 and 1905 to newly annexed islands of Hawaii to replace striking Japanese labourers. Of the 7,226 Koreans who were drafted into labouring roles in Hawaii, approximately 2,000 later migrated to the West Coast. This wave ended in 1905 as a result of the Japanese occupation of Korea. Migration largely ceased until the second wave brought about by the Korean War which resulted in approximately 14,000 Koreans, many of whom were war orphans, wives, or relatives of American servicemen migrating to the United States. The third wave of Korean migration to the United States occurred as a result of the 1965 Immigration Act which ended the national quota system, which previously disincentivised Korean migration. The impact of the third wave of migrants was far more profound than previous waves in terms of background and numbers of migrants. The third wave of migrants were much more middle-class than previous migrants, consisting of mostly college educated Koreans hoping to make a lateral transition into American society. Upon arriving in the US, Koreans without medical or engineering degrees found such a transition difficult, resulting in many to become store owners and merchants. As a consequence, Little Seoul business owners were predominantly Koreans who either migrated or descended from Korean migrants, a predominance which remains to this day. It was during this time in the 1970s that Little Seoul became a distinct urban district as the third wave of Korean immigrants built upon a small Korean enclave within an underserved area produced by racial and economic segregation earlier in the twentieth century. Los Santos Civil Unrest In 1992, four police officers were acquitted for their use of excessive force and violent beating of an African American taxi driver during his arrest for speeding. Footage of the beating was taken from a resident’s nearby balcony and sent to a local news station, which fast became a worldwide topic covered by news outlets all over the globe. In the footage, officers could be seen participating in a prolonged beating of the suspect as he lay down on the floor beside his vehicle. In the resulting trial, the jury acquitted all four officers of assault, much to the astonishment and outrage of the local population. Soon afterwards, crowds began to fill the streets in protest of the result of the trial, which were met by an outnumbered and unprepared police force. A series of incidents between protesters and police resulted in violence breaking out, and by the end of the 29th of April, a riot had begun. Hide contents The riots continued for six days until order was restored, by which time, much of the surrounding area had been looted, vandalised and destroyed causing several hundred million dollars worth of damage. Many Korean Americans refer to the events as ‘Sa-l-Gu’, which means “four-two-nine”, referring to the date the riots in the area started. The Korean community were significantly impacted by the riots as law enforcement opted to defend more affluent areas and abandoned many other businesses to the looters. Koreans sought to defend their businesses, communities and livelihoods resulting in numerous dramatic scenes of armed Koreans patrolling on the ground and rooftops. In spite of these efforts, just under half of the businesses destroyed during the riots were Korean-owned and only a quarter of Korean businesses survived the riots and the immediate aftermath. Hide contents The impact of the riots were profound on the community, changing how Koreans saw their relationship with America, their community and each other. Korean solidarity was increased while attempt to bridge the divide with other communities were undertaken and over time a deep connection between Koreans-Americans and Hispanic Americans was built up. The area was redeveloped, rebuilt and is stronger than ever. The area was redeveloped, rebuilt and is stronger than ever, and although it still suffers from socio-economic problems, it is a vibrant and multicultural centre for Koreans and other minorities alike. OOC This community attempts to emulate Los Angeles’ Koreatown and will largely feature community-based roleplay, centred around many locations and Korean-owned businesses in the Little Seoul area. There are no race/nationality restrictions in place, as the real life equivalent of Little Seoul is a melting pot of many different races and cultures. However, we encourage you to research the groups of people that predominantly exist in the Koreatown LA to ensure you have an accurate understanding of the lifestyles and culture Little Seoul may have. Characters of all ages are welcome. We advise you to PM one of the leaders (@Atiku, @Morning, and @Pascal) before joining this community. Whilst we cannot control who roleplays in the Little Seoul area, if you wish to RP with the community and be affiliated with us as a group you will need to to speak to us to both ensure you can provide a fitting character/roleplay for the area or to provide advice if you need it. We encourage all those who join to send us their character concept so we can provide feedback and ensure it has a reasonable amount of depth to it. With that in mind, we are willing to accept players who may be inexperienced with this type of roleplay, so long as you can provide a good attitude and willingness to learn. Unless you have been approved by one of the three leaders, you must request permission to post screenshots on this thread. Whilst highly unlikely due to the civilian nature of this community, we reserve the right to CK you in the extreme circumstance it may come down to that. CKs will (hopefully) be very rare and will mainly be applied against carelessly designed characters who are poorly/recklessly portrayed, i.e. a generic badass character who terrorises the community in a poorly roleplayed way continuously. We may also choose to apply a CK if your character gets jailed for a considerable (i.e. felony) offence.

  5. Short description: The drug system on the server should be revamped. Detailed description: Drug business plays an important role in the criminal world, drugs serve as one of the main ways to earn money for criminals, but the current drug system isn't acting like that, there are just dealers, distributors and suppliers and many other people involved are cut out. Suppliers: The current suppliers provide ready-made drugs which street dealers sell to the consumers, cutting out the roles of cooks, labs, and investors. From what I think, there should be two types of suppliers: ingredients suppliers and lab equipment suppliers. The products provided by suppliers would be expensive since we don't want everyone to start a drug business. Not only that, the high-price will also attract investors and business partnerships leading to a big roleplay network. Cooks: Once we have the ingredients and the lab equipment set up on the table, we'll be needing a cook to work on it, which, of course, the big guys would hire. For cooking, we can use the same method that is used in the brewery system but in a more improved way. Pressing "Y" anywhere in the script-wise lab would get you to the menu, from where, you'll have all the ingredients, equipment listed. The cookable drugs would also appear in the menu, upon selecting them, you will be asked to set the amount of each ingredient. After setting the amount, you choose "Cook" from the menu. Then, it will take some time, depending on the amount you are cooking, the time would be shown once you start to cook. To prevent misuse of the cooking, we can put in a different time system, the more you cook, the less time it will take per gram. For example: If you are cooking 1 gram of meth, it will take 2 minutes in cooking, which will remain constant, regardless of amount, and 1 minute depending on the amount. Likewise, if you are cooking 5grams of meth, it would take 2 minutes in cooking, plus 5 minutes depending on the amount. (I don't know how to explain this, but you get the idea, right?) Once it is cooked for the given time, you can stop the cooking. The quality of the product would strictly depend on the cook time. If you are late or early to stop the cooking, it would affect the quality. Quality: Then, we will have quality. What made Gus Fring hire Heisenberg over many other cooks in town? The quality. Quality would not depend on /rolls because the effect is always the same but on the level of the cook. The cook's level would increase with how many grams he has cooked. For example, level 1=10 grams, level 2 = 20 grams or whatever you want (Devs, you know what to do.) The better the quality, obviously, the longer lasting effect, but also the more addictive. Commands to add: There have to be many, /cook, /stopcook, /ingredients and many others. Developers know it! Items to add: All the lab equipment and stuff. How would your suggestion improve the server? Well, I think that it will give us, criminal roleplayers, much more to RP and also give RP to FBI, DEA and what not! Additional information: If you guys, in any way, think that this suggestion can be improved, if it should be implemented or not. Reply!

  10. This should be pinned in discord for new players to view instead of having to constantly ask when the peak time is, what the peak number of players is per day and so forth. Would help people get an idea of when to come online if they're looking to engage in roleplay with masses.

  12. If there's a physical object that resembles a camera, then the OOC consent stuff should be automatically allowed. Why should we need to get permission when cameras are already setup? Almost everyone has Shadowplay or AMD Relive for footage. This part of the rule is very silly, especially around businesses. If the party says no then what, do we void his criminal actions or do we allow them to continue and go on without evidence to report to the police?

  13. I don’t know how much of it is true but if you can’t install CCTVs in specific locations without OOC permission then it’s a little silly. You would physically be able to even though it’ll be incriminating to film and use it without IC consent. At least in U.K, you have to make all parties aware you’re being filmed but that doesn’t restrict people from installing CCTV in certain locations. I think the issue comes from physical objects because if my character walks into the bathroom, checks for cameras, don’t really want to report for an admin to find out everytime. I guess this rule just balances it out until that’s possible. The matter of “What if my character would’ve spotted that CCTV but it’s not physically there?”
