This thread is dedicated to the background and life of Danielle "Angel" Mancuso. This thread contains mature subject matter. July 15th, 1999, 02:34 A.M. | Sandy Shores, San Andreas Infomercials flickered across the box television, the only source of light in the run-down mobile home's living room. In the background, a single air conditioning unit worked tirelessly to cool the trailer, its incessant hum softening the sounds of a dog barking outside of the mobile home's walls. Roy Mancuso sat low in his stained armchair, smoking a cheap cigar and cradling a can of Budweiser on his knee, as he watched the cable television impassively. His white wife-beater was discolored underneath his arms from sweat, and his rotund stomach hung down low over his beltline. Roy ashed his cigar on the floor and sat upright in his chair. He used the remote to turn up the volume on the television set. His vision then traveled across the living room to his daughter and wife. Roy pulled himself to his feet with a grunt, and turned to discard the empty beer among the graveyard of beer bottles and cigarette butts on the end table by his chair. He ran a hand through his greasy, black hair, and stumbled across the room to the six-year-old girl sat on the floor. "Come on, princess. Come with daddy," Roy Mancuso coaxed gently and quietly at the adolescent girl sat at the coffee table with a hand outstretched in invitation. His plump, unshaven cheeks flushed red with intoxication. She set down the broken blue crayon she used to color a torn page from her coloring book and looked up at the repulsive man as he towered above her. Beads of perspiration formed on his forehead and dripped down the sides of his face. "Come on, honey," her father continued to cajole with a drunken smile as he took hold of her wrist. The hair raised on the back of Danielle's neck at her father's touch. Her eyes looked to her mother, passed out on the floral-printed sofa of the trailer's living room, for safety. Danielle rose quietly from the floor of the trailer, and her lifeless eyes lifted from her coloring book to meet Roy's. Roy's grasp tightened around her wrist, and he brought a finger on his spare hand over his parted lips. "Shhh, now, Angel. Don't wanna wake your ma. Come on now, honey. Come with daddy," Roy whispered to the girl as he tugged at her arm. Danielle looked back at her mother as her father led her away, two Dutch-braided, blonde pigtails tossing behind her shoulders. Her mother turned over on the sofa, and a used syringe dropped to the floor from underneath her body. Silent tears streamed down Danielle's unwashed face. Danielle Mancuso would continue to endure nightly abuse by her father for the next seven years, unbeknownst to her alcoholic and drug addict of a mother, Eileen. Roy Mancuso was convicted in 2006 of child abuse when attention was brought to the authorities by one of Danielle's teachers after Danielle was found to be self-mutilating in the school bathroom. Eileen would then move Danielle and her sister, Erin, to the projects of Davis in Los Santos, following their father's incarceration. Danielle was first introduced to drugs by her peers while she attended the inner-city high school, and she quickly became a regular abuser of marijuana and prescription painkillers. Danielle dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen. She worked a menial job as a gas station attendant in Davis to support her drug habits and help her mother with the bills. The day she turned eighteen, Danielle auditioned for the manager of the Vanilla Unicorn and was given a job as an exotic dancer. She received on-the-job training from her colleagues at the gentlemen's club, and was favored by the patrons for her long legs and bright blonde hair. She carried over her father's nickname for her, "Angel," as her stage alias. Another dancer at the strip club, Alana Briggs, an African-American girl with calculating, brown eyes, would be the one to introduce Danielle to drugs such as heroin and cocaine, the pair using the latter of the two to ready themselves for a night of performances, and the former to fade to black in the backroom after they counted through their tip money. Alana would go on to become Danielle's partner-in-crime. The two graduated from private dances in the backroom to propositioning sexual favors to patrons of the strip club for whatever the John had to offer: money, drugs, connections, jewelry or notoriety. Alana Briggs was murdered by the hand of an abusive boyfriend in 2013 at the age of twenty-three. Erin, Danielle's younger sister by two years, moved out of the apartment they shared with their mother at the age of seventeen, and she took up residence with Roy Mancuso's elderly and dying mother in the city of Grapeseed in the county of San Andreas to escape Danielle and their schizophrenic of a mother figure. Eileen Mancuso was convicted on drug trafficking charges in the fall of 2011. February 21st, 2011, 03:21 A.M. | Strawberry, Los Santos "You stupid, stupid bitch!" screamed Robert Liotta between kicks to an eight-week-pregnant Danielle's stomach. Danielle laid crumpled in a heap at Robert's feet in the parking lot of the Vanilla Unicorn strip club, still dressed in her lingerie from her shift. Bystanders took leisure drags off of their cigarettes land watched the assault take place. They then turned their backs and resumed idle conversation inside of their group. Bass from the music playing inside of the strip club thumped continuously and mingled with the sounds of car alarms and police sirens in the distance. "Bobby! Bobby, please, you don't understand?! We could have a family, me an' you!" Danielle plead as she picked up her torso from the pavement and wiped blood from her lip. "A family? A family?! Look at you, Danielle! You think you're really fit for a mother? And, what's this?" Robert asked, the tone of his voice sharp with ridicule as he bent down to Danielle and took a firm grasp of her arm. He wrenched her arm over, his knuckles white, and eyed the fresh injection marks on the inside of her antecubital fossa with a scowl. "You been using again! For the love of Christ, Danielle! Me and you's going down to the clinic first thing in the morning, and we're getting that little son of a bitch inside of you taken care of! I'm not letting the mother of my child be some junkie dancer! I thought you said you were on birth control!" Danielle snatched her arm away from Robert and used her hands to wipe the hot tears from her cheeks. The thick layers of mascara on Danielle's heavily painted eyes smeared and cast dark shadows on her sunken face. "I'm not gettin' an abortion, Bobby! I'm gonna have this kid, with or without you!" barked Danielle as she wiped blood from her mouth on the back of her hand and began to collect herself to her feet. "Like hell you are!" Robert sneered down at Danielle as he loomed above her. He took a final drag off of his cigarette and cast it to the pavement. He then rolled up the sleeves of his baby blue dress shirt and sent repeated and violent kicks to Danielle's abdomen with his penny loafers, casting her back onto the pavement of the parking lot. She lay sobbing, cradling her stomach in her arms, by the front wheel arch of his car as he brought his assault to an end and stood upright to comb his fingers through his tediously groomed coiffure. Robert cast an apprehensive glance at the bystanders, whose attention had then returned, before filling his mouth with saliva and spitting it on the pavement beside Danielle. Robert crossed in front of the 2008 Dodge Avenger to the driver's seat and collapsed into the interior before sparking up another Newport. The car raced out of the parking lot with a screech, Danielle left in a lifeless mound on the ground. A steady trickle of bright red blood seeped from underneath the French chantilly lace of her skirt and down her thigh. The loss of her child and relationship with Robert Liotta drove Danielle into a downward spiral. Her abuse of heroin accelerated; no longer was the drug only used to bring her down after a cocaine-fueled night of pole work. All of the money earned from dancing at the local strip joint was devoted to feeding her addiction. Danielle struggled to maintain the rent on the apartment she once shared with Eileen. After eight months of unpaid rent and empty promises to her landlord, Danielle was evicted, and she was forced to take shelter in the beaten interior of her 1990 Cadillac de Ville, left to her in the will of her then deceased grandmother. She was fired from the Vanilla Unicorn when she continued to show up to work high despite numerous warnings from the manager. Between the years 2012 and 2016, in-and-out of rehab, Danielle would fall victim to an emotionally manipulative relationship with a man by the name of Thomas Rodriguez, a longshoreman. She fell pregnant with his child in 2016, and against the protests of Rodriguez, she would go on to birth the couple's daughter alone in the emergency room of Pillbox Medical Center. Thomas left town and changed his phone number the next day, leaving Danielle alone with the neonate, growth restricted from Danielle's incessant cigarette smoking. December 20th, 2019, 06:57 P.M. | Grapeseed, San Andreas Danielle exited the interior of her rusted, fifth-generation 1990 Cadillac de Ville and exhaled a breath of smoke before dropping her joint into the dirt. She quickly doubled to the passenger side of the vehicle, and helped the dark-haired toddler, courting a battered teddy bear underneath her arm, out to her feet. Danielle's sister, Erin, pushed through the creaky screen door of her house and leaned against a column on the front porch with folded arms. Erin watched the two approach the house with a look of despondency. "Well, well, well, Angel. You must need something to come all the way out here. What's wrong this time?" Erin asked as she made her way down the steps of the porch and met Danielle and the toddler in the walkway. "You always said you would take her, so, here! Take her! I can't do it anymore!" Danielle replied and pushed the toddler toward Erin. "I can't fucking do it anymore, OK?! She's better off here with you than with me. So take her," Danielle continued with a breath of exasperation. Danielle then took to her knee and turned the toddler to face her. She took her face in both of her hands and stroked the toddler's cheeks with her thumbs. After a final kiss on the child's forehead, Danielle rose to her feet and made fast for her vehicle, rummaging in the pocket of her tattered denim jacket for her car keys. Erin took up the toddler, dressed only in a Powerpuff Girls t-shirt and a diaper, and rested her on her right hip. She struggled to strum her fingers through the child's knotted and unkempt hair as she watched Danielle reenter the car. Danielle turned the key over in the ignition of the Cadillac de Ville several times before the engine of the car spluttered to life, and Danielle then quickly reversed out of the driveway and sped down the road, kicking up a trail of dust behind her. Erin traced her fingertips across the toddler's cheek with a weak smile and searched her face with her eyes. The toddler looked back at Erin with unfamiliarity and slotted her thumb into her mouth. "S'gonna be OK, Bella. Auntie Erin's gonna take care 'a you, sweetheart. You look hungry. You want Auntie Erin to make you something 'ta eat?" Erin asked the child, and the child responded with a quick nod of her head as she sucked on her thumb. Erin adjusted the toddler's weight on her hip and turned to carry her up the broken steps of the front porch of her house without sparing a glance to the swiftly disappearing vehicle in the distance.

The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department We are excited to announce the fact that the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department will be starting operations on Sunday the 19th of January. The introduction of this faction brings many exciting opportunities to both criminal and county roleplayers alike. While the Sheriff's Department will be a law enforcement agency that aims to provide law enforcement roleplay in the county outside Los Santos itself, it also operates the brand new Twin Towers County Jail. The new County Jail allows for a total revamp of the criminal justice system on the server. Criminal roleplayers will now be able to spend their sentences in an environment that encourages roleplay, both between inmates and with Sheriff's Deputies. Aside from your basic cell block there will be opportunities to roleplay around the jail in environments like the yard and mess hall, there will be plenty of ways to spend your time and even work around the county jail. Not all inmate roleplay has to be restricted to the jail though, seeing we are excited to be hosting work parties around the state of San Andreas. Furthermore, the opportunity to be released early on Parole also exists. Although the County Jail may be a bit bare bones at first, we plan to introduce plenty of exciting new features to make the jail environment even better as we go on. The Sheriff's Department aims to bring the best possible jail roleplay environment to the criminal roleplayers of GTA World and it hopes to succeed in doing so. We hope you enjoy the County Jail! We also invite all future prison faction leaders to contact illegal FM to get your specific needs set up! The LSSD team

FUCK TRECE - JAMESTOWN DIABLO

HOME The Nation of Islam is a religious group. It was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1930 by Wallace Fard Muhammad. The main goal of the Nation of Islam is to improve the spiritual, mental, social and economic conditions of blacks in the United States. The teachings of the Nation of Islam are inspired by the writings of the Holy Quran. Since 1981, the group has been led by Louis Farrakhan. Notable current and former members include professional boxer Muhammad Ali, civil rights leader Malcolm X, and recording artist Snoop Dogg. The ultimate goal of the nation, according to founder W.F. Muhammad, is to teach the downtrodden and defenseless Black people a thorough Knowledge of God and of themselves, and to put them on the road to Self-Independence with a superior culture and higher civilization than they had previously experienced. The Los Santos branch was established in early January after a five-month plan and ministry ordainment by Dr. Barack Hakim. Important Figures Wallace Fard Muhammad Wallace Fard Muhammad, addressed in his letters as W.F. Muhammad, was the founder of the Nation of Islam. Born in 1877 as Wallace D. Fard, Muhammad was raised in the rural south. At the age of 53, Muhammad began teaching idiosyncratic Islam to the black population of Detroit Michigan in the early 1930s, after migrating. He taught from 1930-1934, gaining over eight thousand followers and supporters. He mysteriously disappeared in 1934 after boarding a plane in Detroit. He was presumed dead by 1958. W.F. Muhammad originated some of the nation's signature teachings, such as the study of the Quran, the University of Islam, and the stories of Yacub. W.F. Muhammad is widely considered by the Nation of Islam as the human embodiment and second-coming of Allah. Elijah Muhammad Elijah Muhammad was born Elijah Poole in 1897. He was born in Sandersville, Georgia as the seventh of thirteen children. Like his predecessor, Poole migrated to Michigan from Georgia in the First Great Migration, searching for safety and employment. He attended a speech by Wallace Fard Muhammad on Islam and Black Empowerment at the repeated request of his wife. Poole would soon join Muhammad's cause, and would quickly become one of his highest ranking advisors, and a close personal friend. He would eventually be given an Arabic name, Karriem Muhammad, at W.F. Muhammad's behest. Soon after, he took over leadership of Muhammad Mosque No. 2, in Chicago. His younger brother Kalot Muhammad would become the leader of the Nation's paramilitary wing, the Fruit of Islam. Elijah established the Nation of Islam into a powerful empire in the United States, with the Nation owning multiple banks, bakeries, land holdings, and nightclubs among other businesses by 1970. Elijah popularized Nation teachings of black empowerment, hegemony, and fundraisers. Elijah died in 1975, of Congestive Heart Failure. Louis Farrakhan Louis Farrakhan was born Louis Walcott in The Bronx, New York, in 1933. Farrakhan's parents separated before he was born, and he never met his biological father. His father was named Gene Walcott, and he is presumed to be of Jewish descent, something which would contradict with Farrakhan's personal beliefs heavily. Louis was a skilled musician from an early age, receiving his first violin at the age of five, and touring with the Boston College Orchestra at the age of twelve. He graduated high school with a track scholarship at Winston-Salem Teachers College, and started his professional music career in 1950 under the stage name "The Charmer." He toured through the midwest United States, also often using the nickname "Calypso Gene", an homage to his father. Louis first became familiar with the teachings of the nation in February of 1955, at his Calypso Follies show in Chicago. Walcott and his wife were invited to the annual Saviour's Day Address, given by Elijah Muhammad. Walcott grew interested in the Nation, and fulfilled the requirements to become a registered believer, by memorizing and reciting the ten questions and answers of the NOI Student Enrollment. After this, he wrote a "Saviour's Letter", which is a letter which must be hand-copied and written in handwriting identical to that of Elijah Muhammad. After nine months of being a registered believer in the Nation, Walcott was renamed Louis Farrakhan by Elijah Muhammad. Farrakhan is an Arabic term, meaning "The Criterion." Louis Farrakhan separated from the Nation after it was attempted to be re-branded by Warith Al-Deen Muhammad, who was trying to convert it into a Sunni Islam group. Warith's efforts eventually died out, and Farrakhan became the official head minister of the Nation of Islam in 1978. Louis Farrakhan has ruled as the Honorable Minister of the Nation of Islam since 1978. He is responsible for the nation's teachings of financial investment into Black America, The Million Man March, and a connection of Dianetics from the teachings of Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard, among others. Minister Barack Hakim Barack Hakim was born as Barry Robertson in 1979, in Nashville Tenessee to a two-parent household as the second of four children. Hakim's father was an attorney and businessman, and his mother was a Librarian. Hakim grew deeply interested in religion at a young age, becoming an altar boy at his local Protestant church for an African-American congregation. It was here where Hakim studied the bible and its teachings passionately, completely absorbing himself in the scripture. He soon rose in prominence around his hometown as a skilled public speaker, and as a nutritionist and dietician. Hakim graduated highschool with an honor-roll recognition for his high-level academic marks. He was quickly offered a scholarship from a historically black college in his hometown of Nashville, Fisk University, and he returned a letter of acceptance without a second thought. Hakim studied psychology for twelve years at Fisk and opened up a private psychology practice in Nashville, where he focused on mental health for black families in low-income areas. He practiced in Nashville for three years, before moving to Chicago, Illinois and attending a Sunday worship meeting at the Maryam Mosque (Temple No. 2) Hakim, still Barry Robertson at the time, was instantly moved to tears by Louis Farrakhan's address to the congregation. Hakim then dedicated himself to the Nation almost completely, working multiple fundraisers, marches, and community outreach events as he gained good-standing and made many friends throughout the nation. He was given his Arabic name in 2016, Barack Hakim, by the board of directors. It translates to "Blessing, Healer", which is related to his Psychology studies and work as a dietician. Hakim began working closely with the board of directors on the establishment of a Nation of Islam branch in Los Santos after he moved, and was successfully approved in early January of 2020.

There are coed jails in the USA. Co-ed prisons do not exist, but co-ed jails do. That said, there isn't any in LA. Our faction is launching into a completely new and unique project. While we definitely could separate females and males into two separate cellblocks right now, it's too much of a risk for us to do right away while lacking a lot of the necessary resources to do it. Separating female characters would be a mutual drain, because females would be restricted in what they could do in the jail system (we'd have to lock them up solely in that cellblock by the nature of the mapping, essentially they'd be entirely isolated), and custody players would need to man a cellblock where only 1-2 players are around at any one time. Nobody is saying this is something we're against doing now or in the future, this is just a minuscule issue for us right now. Separation based on gender would make things needlessly complicated at this early stage where everything hinges on a successful launch. We are not against doing this in the future, in fact I'd like to do it when the LSSD grows and there's more players, but doing it right now would essentially be an OOC punishment for female roleplayers. There'd be 1-2 female characters in a single block. However, I can guarantee this - if it becomes an issue of immersion, we will correct it right away. But I don't think this will be nearly as much of an issue as many people here believe it will be. The community I came from had coed prison for upwards of 7 years and throughout the entirety of my serious prison roleplay "career" there was really never an issue for gang members in the system, nor were females "brutalized". You can self-police your interactions with female characters on an internal level. You can even ignore them if you want. The people we have in this faction have upwards of 10 years of prison roleplay experience among us. We are telling you this is not going to be an issue. If it becomes one for whatever reason, we will change it as soon as possible. Many long-term prisoners transition in and out of the county jail system in LA due to a court-ordered reorganization scheme after the federal government ruled against the CDCR in a lawsuit. A prison is not in the cards for right now, but a long-term prison-gang community is equally likely to form inside of the county jail on the basis of realism - LA county jail is filled to the brim with high-up gang-members who abuse the courts. In fact, one could argue the LA county jail system is worse in some respects than CDCR prisons. I recommend players read up on some of the ACLU lawsuits.

"Mafia is a process, not a thing. Mafia is a form of clan-cooperation to which its individual members pledge lifelong loyalty. Friendship, connections, family ties, trust, loyalty and obedience -- this was the glue that held us together." - Joseph Bonanno The Conti crime family, sometimes referred to as the Los Santos crime family can trace its roots back to the Clinton Avenue Crew. The organization became prominent in late 2017 as a San Andreas-based satellite crew for the Kansas City mob, the Civella crime family. As the Clinton Avenue crew grew in numbers and developed more autonomy, it was referred to as the Los Santos crime family. With this new title, not only did the organization become a significant player, but it also began to catch the attention of various law enforcement agencies. As the Kansas City old guard began to catch more heat from federal law enforcement entities, it was clear that someone would go down. The foreshadowing all came true after Roy Capra's arrest a few weeks after Peter Conti and Thomas Alo's induction into the Los Santos crime family. Following Roy Capra's arrest, the remaining members of the Los Santos crime family would fall off the grid leaving only Peter Conti to operate within Los Santos. Rise Of Peter Conti After months of expanding his power base and his crew's influence, Peter Conti soon had to solidify his position and his crew by eliminating the threats to his new regime. Thomas "Verbatim" Alo, another LSCF captain, resurfaced and was found gunned down a few weeks after returning to the city. Peter Conti sent his associates, Dominic "Ted Bundy" Altomare and Daniel "Pretty Boy" Santoro, to eliminate James Padanova, a suspected informant. Following Peter Conti's regime's growth and expanse was a period of peace; Conti utilized the connections and resources of his soldiers further to strengthen his grasp upon Los Santos' criminal underworld. Through illicit trade, as one of Conti's soldiers, Joseph Campagna, has been said to have been a significant player in Los Santos' drug trade, having pumped an abundant amount of narcotics such as cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy into the market. Following the deaths of Alo and Padanova and the inductions of Joseph Campagna, then later, Dominic Altomare were made members of the family. Los Santos had all but formally cut off its ties with Kansas City. Lacking Kansas City's support, Conti and his people soon saw the city return to being free for all between various crime families through their satellite crews. It would be the beginning of the first "war" for supremacy. Wild Wild West Two long-term associates, Henry "Hairpiece" D'Amico and Daniel "Pretty Boy" Santoro, were inducted as made men and given the task to handle the encroaching crews through elimination or subjugation. After a few months of the conflict, the duo completed their job through the Vespucci Beach-based Lagrusa crew's subjugation. A few weeks after, word went around that the remaining members had all left the state. With contending crews being taken care of, the term Conti crime family began coming into play in some circles. Meanwhile, back in Kansas City, the group would still be referred to as ingrates and pretenders. With the new name, however, the organization saw an increase of influence throughout the state as it enjoyed a time of growth. Conti Golden Age As the organization grew, upper management opened the books for a long-term associate of Peter Conti's, Gerald Marchetti. His induction into the ranks led to the first crews being established within the family. With Daniel Santoro and Gerald Marchetti both at the reigns of their respective crews, the crime family's reach began to creep into all aspects of Los Santos through the procurement of government contracts and control over the drug flow into the city. Under Dominic Altomare's direction, Daniel Santoro and David Pillini were often sent out to deal with other organizations in the town, the trio preferring to have business partners instead of rivals. This doctrine was enforced by the upper echelon even further as David Pillini was sent out of state alongside John Carrone and Donald Birchese to strengthen business relationships with organizations throughout the United States' sunbelt region. A Few Bad Months What was referred to as the "Golden Age" continued as Carmine "The Weasel" Gallo, Nicholas Trisano, and John "Tuna" Capra were brought in as made men. This making ceremony would have been the beginning of the end; however, long-term associate and prospective member Marco Caruso was stabbed to death weeks later. However, after a period of internal conflict, Carmine Gallo would be the only one of the three left alive. After the death of two members and a handful of associates, the organization began to pull the San Andreas Bureau of Investigation's attention. SABI, relentless in its efforts to arrest the Conti crime family's leadership, put the organization into a mothballed state as members went off the grid to avoid investigation. The SABI probe would have been the first time a State or Federal agency launched a long-term investigation into the family directly instead of one of the schemes they were involved in through proxies. The Renaissance After a few months going from city to city throughout the South-West, Conti associate and prospective member David Pillini was called back to Los Santos by Dominic Altomare. With his return also came the return of the organization's prominence within the criminal underworld in a few weeks. Associates of the Conti crime family such as James Granillo, Michael Farina, Hugh Calilri, and made members like Carmine Gallo and Daniel Santoro would be critical for their new criminal schemes. Once again, the crime family in a position of power soon opened its books and inducted James Donnelli, Lawrence Zampa, James Granillo, and David Pillini in as made men. While each of these men took care of their duties, more prospective members such as Michael Farina, Hugh Caliri, Ricky Castellani, and Brandon Falasco saw themselves being brought in as made members as well. In Conti fashion, the newly made individuals were constantly sent out to deal with external problems. In this case, David Pillini, Hugh Caliri, Ricky Castellani, and James Granillo were used to stamp out the competition on the west side of the city and return the family to its powerhouse status. Cutthroat Politics As Dominic Altomare oversaw the family's return to the top in the criminal underworld, Peter Conti continued to see that his influence was everywhere within the city's government. During the mayoral elections of 2020, the Halford campaign saw itself bankrolled by Peter Conti to gain control over the mayor upon his victory. However, this dream was short-lived as, after a few weeks in office, Halford turned on Conti by outing him publicly for attempting to bribe him. Oswald Halford ousted Peter to distance himself from the crime boss but was met with proof of his corrupt actions surfacing. Halford was promptly arrested for perjury; Peter Conti cooperated with the district attorney's office to avoid Oswald's allegations. After being exposed during the Oswald Halford corruption scandal, Peter Conti fell off the grid, leaving the family had to deal with the spotlight being shined on Vinewood. With Peter Conti gone, it was only natural for underboss Dominic Altomare to take the helm. Spreading the Gospel Under Dominic Altomare's leadership, he brought the family's old priorities back to the forefront of criminal doctrine. After an internal reorganization, Gerald Marchetti and James Donnelli joined Dominic Altomare within the upper echelon. Carmine Gallo and James Granillo, the two newly appointed captains, continued to oversee most day-to-day business as the organization's influence began to grow once more. Paul Martino's induction only continued to bolster the ranks of the made members within the crime family. Alongside Paul Martino's making came a return to the control of drugs following into the city through David Pillini's out-of-state connections. With the grasp of product flowing into the city, old alliances with organizations throughout the state were rekindled. The crime family also forged new partnerships through the distribution of narcotics and firearms throughout the state. As the criminal underworld within San Andreas continues to house multiple wars between different organizations throughout the city, the one bulwark that seems to be unconquerable remains on Clinton Avenue in Vinewood.

Short description: Redo the script from scratch. Detailed description: Currently, the mechanic script is basic, unusable and many things are missing to add, what I am suggesting is to redo the script of 0 by adding all those missing things, and make it more comfortable for both client and mechanic. When I say comfortable, it is creating a CEF menu where you have icons or text to move up in the categories, create a purchase menu and cancel in each submenu and be able to choose what you need. This avoids having to be accepting the command and waiting for the mechanic to accept it several times, since in the current menu, if you give it back, the menu disappears. To move through the submenus, we can use the icons above (for example, exterior.icon) I have two ways on how to buy things from the mechanic: 1- Select all the components of the submenu (engine for example) and give it to buy, and then you can move to the next menu and repeat the process. (You can choose any submenu whenever you want, but changes will only be saved if you first press BUY) 2- Select all the components of the submenu (engine for example) and press the next submenu (Exterior), select everything you want to add and this is added to the total, when you press BUY, all components are purchased and installed. Components to add that are missing in GTAW; Interior ornaments Other types of tires. Change flyers Metallic and iriscent paints. Paint the tires Paint the inside of the vehicle and the speedometers Colored fumes in tires Boot interiors, doors, windows, engine interiors such as reinforcing bars, engine types, gas tank types, etc. And more. In PAINT all things related to colors, paints, type of paint, paint tires, colored fumes, neons, paint the interior of the vehicle, speedometers, etc., would be included in vehicle maintenance items such as anti-theft, gps, alarms, locks, engine maintenance, cleaning dirt, etc. The tires can be in "Exterior", there would be an option that says "Tire type: SUV/offroad/SPORT/HIGH END/ETC" And below a selector of IDs that would correspond to each tire of the type that we have chosen in the option above. Commands to add: Items to add: How would your suggestion improve the server? We would have a more complete, more modern and more comfortable script. Additional information: I wanted to do this thing with HTML/CSS/JS but I don't have time.

We're in an announcement thread and lots of people are discussing things. I apologize to Nervous and the County Sheriff's Department faction if I've stepped out of line. But this is their faction thread:

IMO there are already immersion/realism concerns, even for characters outside of jail. There is a deep and cyclical relationship between the street life and incarcerated life. My understanding is that the culture and politics of Los Angeles Hispanic street gangs is influenced by boys/men entering the jail/prison system, where they are exposed to Sureno culture and the political heart of the Mexican Mafia. They bring all this back with them to the streets upon release. (Similar to non-gang members from Fresno turning into Bulldogs on the inside.) But Latinas are never exposed to that. This is one of many factors explaining why women can't climb the hierarchy in the same way: women are physically cut off from the prison gangs. If we are to RP like co-ed county jail was always a thing, it retcons a lot of history and character development, and should probably shake up the sex/gender situation for many illegal factions. We no longer have real life sources to draw upon for inspiration/guidance. For example, what about Hispanic female gang members/associates who have been in and out of the system ICly and RPed jail/prison sentences? What was their experience like? How does that change the culture and politics? How does that change the available roles, expectations, etc, etc? And certainly my last year of RP would be different if my character was raised knowing she could be incarcerated with her brothers, homeboys, boyfriends, etc. It certainly retcons many conversations and scenes I've RPed.

Here's the save files. https://www.mediafire.com/file/2ndipaldc9fubo3/82F4FEDD.rar/file Pretty straightforward to install, just navigate to "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\" and in there should be a string of numbers, for example mine is "82F4FEDD". Just overwrite all the SGTA files in that folder. I'd recommend backing up your current saves though, just to be safe. It shouldn't mess with your actual game settings since those are a separate file not included. After that, load the save that's around 60% progressed and you should be good to go.

Brazy Rico— Community Terror on the Land: Part One

There are moderators as mentioned previously with pages and pages of reports which they’re going through - as for the speed of FB, the message and post wipe did improve it (for me atleast) and I can go through it without waiting a decade for the next page to load, so improvements are underway, however, I can bring up the idea of ghost account wipes but I’ll get back to you all on that one.

my boy sammy looking sharp

keep it comin broo.

Cool update. But if I got it right, we are to disregard realism because of lack of female prisoners so we house men and women together? That is in my opinion completely the wrong approach to take. Immersion is thrown out the window and realism will be very low and prison/jail RP will be "meh" if people share cells between the genders etc. Shouldn't lower our standards imo.

Can't wait for people to treat a County Jail as if it was a Maximum Security Prison. Yay. So giddy with excitement.

Time to get arrested purposely...

Update 1.7.5c Additions Added two new administration tools for teleporting and monitoring vehicles Added a "fast track" connection lane after a server crash - you should now reconnect quicker and the overall server lag should be drastically decreased after a restart (instead of the usual 5 minutes lags) Fixes Fixed various bugs with teleports : teleporting from a property inside a property into dimension 0 will now properly work, same for the opposite travel Entering a property B within a property A through a teleport inside the property A (yes I know... it gets complicated for me too) will now properly spawn the objects of property B (!!!) Optimized the property objects destroy function to never be bypassed, reducing the amount of "Connection lost" bugs Optimized the SMS system Fixed cuff models on female characters Fixed jail uniforms Fixed multiple server crashes, we've made great progress on the stability this past week and we shall now be heading toward no crashes at all except the daily restarts (until next broken update obviously)
