Sweeping Up

Short description: Allow people to place a request for trucking from house/business A to house/business B. Detailed description: Let's say a particular business produces a large ammount of some kind of product or gets a large order. That player could then for example /createshipment (item ID) (quantity) (final destination) and those items would turn into for example 'Custom Crate' and stay in the property inventory. The truckers would then shipment request on their /startshipment menu, once they arrive to the business they could /pickupcrate, which would then move the crates from property inventory to the business and then they could deliver it to the destination and /sellcrate which would place the crates inside that particular business property. The truckers could earn the same ammount as any other shipment request and it would cost 250 per crate for player to /createshipment. Crates now weight a certain ammount, when items are turned into crates they could also be based on weight, so depending on how many items and how heavy they are would depend how many crates that would be and thus the price. If the driver disconnects, the crates could remain in his vehicle for 24 hours or so after which the crates could be removed from the truck and spawned back to the business and remain as active shipment for another driver to pick up (This is to avoid potential loss of revenue and time due to OOC reasons when someone crashes, loses internet or simply has to go due to irl emergency). The reason I am suggesting 'Custom Crate' instead of actual items is to avoid robberies that would most likely be extremely popular although highly unrealistic as in real life truckers don't steal from their shipments and there are ways to ensure that the back of the truck has not been entered during the delivery. Commands to add: /createshipment Items to add: Custom Crate How would your suggestion improve the server? I think this would make trucking job more immersive and interactive and It would also benefit some businesses/players who may be in need of such service. Someone moving a house packed with items could request delivery from A to B without hassle and with nice RP for the truckers and the player. This could also create a new RP for trucking businesses as they could focus more on 'Courier Services' and RP based on player requests. Additional information: I imagine something like this is hard to implement. The reason I am suggesting this is primarily based on an issue I have when running a business that is based on manufacturing items and supplying them to other businesses as distributors. It is hard to have delivery driver staff when your business does not have a trucking script because any truckers join trucking script jobs where they can actually earn money and do trucking. If I could createshipments and have those items delivered to clubs that require them

It's where you should be if you want to RP in Eurasian organized crime, specifically the Armenian mob. APx3 in Los Santos died 2 years ago along with the Blajos' street crew. Take your salt mine out of here and maintain social distancing during these harsh times.

After encountering some of you guys in-game I hope to avoid members in this faction at all times on any character. I sincerely hope you brush up on your role-play skills.

Regulating Blaine County

This can be considered a guide, an information tab, or a bit of both if you wish to call it that, but the main point of this being created is to dive into the dominant Latino-American street gang politics within Los Angeles County and the surrounding areas around it. This thread isn't going to dive into anything else, except for Latino-American street gang politics in Los Angeles County, so it's not the place to come for an overall street gang guide or information tab. First, to understand the entire scene itself you need to understand the culture behind the people themselves, and not just gang-members. For the most part it might seem like this guide/information tab is most copied and pasted, but I can assure you there'll be a lot of things I've solely written up myself for this, the stuff that has been copied and pasted are important and should be read. I'll quote two things below that will help you understand where I'm going to be going with this: I think the two quotations above are really important and should be read as it'll be somewhat of a golden key to this guide/information tab. So let me get started: MEXICAN - CHICANO & PAISANO I. Mexican-American heritage This is a really important thing in today's day n age, mainly due to the fact Mexican-Americans are known as Chicanos and Chicanos tend to have a really big sense of pride amongst themselves, which is where the Chicano movement started from and when the Brown Pride clothing brand began to pop up and become pretty known within the United States of America. I'll start off by saying that this all dates back to the 1960s when the Chicano Civil Rights Movement started for the sole reason to help Mexican-Americans be recognized by others in the United States of America and be treated equally as citizens and to have their identity as Chicanos be recognized. I'll quote another thing below that'll help you understand where I'm coming from with this: The Wikipedia sections I quoted should be read as I only quoted a few that are important to your character's roleplay and portrayal if you plan to roleplay a Mexican-American character in-game. II. Paisano heritage Paisanos, also known as Paisas for short are people from Mexico or other parts of Latin-America (we'll be sticking with Mexican for this section) that are simply non-Mexican-Americans in the United States of America but has also been adopted by homegrown Mexicans in Mexico too. The word Paisa comes from Paisano which in Spanish means Countrymen/Countryman, the reason Mexicans who came to the United States were considered this is due to how they dressed, moved as a person and more times than not was also a derogatory term overall to sometimes used to insult Mexicans until it was more or less adopted by themselves, and used as a banner for their people. It has even become so embraced by Mexicans that they also have pride for being a Paisano and have made clothing with "Paisa" written on them. A lot of the times, more or less most of these Paisanos in the United States of hard-working individuals but some of them get sucked into gang violence, and in-turn get arrested and deported, which is why you see a lot of native Los Angeles gangs all around Latin-America today. CENTRAL AMERICAN - GUANACO & PAISANO I. Guanaco heritage The term Guanaco is mainly associated with Salvadorans as it's a homegrown term used by people in El Salvador, just like Chicano is for Mexican-Americans, Guanaco was a term that has been around for decades if not centuries and used by Salvadorans in El Salvador as a way to refer to their people. But to understand how the "Guanaco" movement came about, even though it's not as popular as the Chicano movement, you need to look back at the Salvadoran Civil War which I'll quote a bit about down below: Due to the war in El Salvador, many Salvadorans fled El Salvador and came to the United States of America by train, and foot, and then even boats once they reached certain parts of Mexico. But to understand why Guanaco is a thing, you need to look at what happened when Salvadorans arrived in Los Angeles in the mid-late 70s and early 80s. Around these time eras, Mexican-Americans began to terrorize Salvadorans and often kidnapped, raped and beat up women killed fathers in front of their families and killed kids to hurt families, it was due to this that Salvadorans began to use the term Guanacan as a way of saying they were never going to be considered Chicanos or support the Brown Pride movement in Los Angeles at the time. Due to this many other Central-Americans who came to Los Angeles around this time era were also given the same treated that Salvadorans were given, and they also adopted the Guanaco term and it soon turned into a movement that was driven by many Central-American nationalities. II. Central-American Paisanos The reason I've separated the Paisano banner from Mexican to Central-American is for this very reason, unlike Mexican Paisanos, Central-American Paisanos are considered Guanacos as it was a homegrown term that came about in El Salvador and not the United States of America. Alright, so now that I've gotten the main history down on the thread it's time to dive deep into the gang politics and what's what. STREET GANGS - SUREÑOS & SUREÑAS & TAX FREE GANGS Now you might be wondering where does the book-length of information about the Mayan, Aztec, Chicano, Guanaco and Paisano culture tie into a gang-related guide/information tab but you'll see in a moment how everything adds up. I. Mexican Mafia The Mexican Mafia a/k/a known as La eMe or The M is a hybrid prison street gang/organization that rules the majority of the Latino-American street gangs in California, or in this instance it'd be San Andreas. Now, the Mayan and Aztec culture plays a huge part in a Sureño's lifestyle as in prison the communication via kites also known as letters exchanged by inmates are often written in Nahuatl which is the language that was primarily used by the Aztecs back in the day, now Nahuatl is commonly used amongst Emeros and other Sureños in the SHU, but is sometimes used in gen-pop too. A lot of the kites that aren't in Nahuatl aren't like how a lot of prison factions portray them to be, in-fact although they might be written in English; words are normally backwardly written and positions swapped with coded words being written a certain way to point out what's writing, for example: "Love to all my fellow Southsiders on the tier, I want you to keep programming as normal every day and keep your head down". Now, that simple and seemingly harmless kite/letter could translate to something much bigger, and mean that there's a war starting or a riot might happen: "I want you to keep programming, and keep your head down" could translate to what I've stated. I'm not a prison roleplay expert but coded kites/letters that aren't in Nahuatl are normally written like that or something along the lines. You'll never really see a kite/letter written with upfront words about what's what in case of a Correctional Officer who isn't corrupt, obtaining the said kite/letter. In-fact there have even been instances with Aztec related symbols being tattooed on Sureños both in prison and on the streets, this is also where the Mayan culture comes into play as the Mayan number symbols are used by Sureños to often refer to the number they claim whether it be 18th Street, a gang that flies 13, MS-13 for 1319; M - 13 and S - 19 or whether it's 38th Street, 36th Street, Compton Varrio hoods, you get the point. The Mexican Mafia's reign over all Sureño gangs is to this very day, still known to be quite powerful and dominant due to the enforcement of fear and respect on the streets, and in prison. Every Sureño gang pays tribute to the Mexican Mafia in return for protection in prison and sometimes it can stretch to even being supported depending on the occasion at hand. II. Sureños & Sureñas Street gangs under the Mexican Mafia are referred to Sureño gangs, also known as Southsider gangs in English. Southsiders, for the most part, claim the number 13 but depending on the hood's politics, they may claim a different number or not even claim a number at all, the examples I'll give of this are: 18th Street, Compton Varrio 155, East Side Clover and Varrio Nuevo Estrada. Now, I'll give two examples of even more complex politics down below: Some hoods may not even claim to be Sureños even though when thrown into a category they are, three examples of this are: 18th Street, Mara Salvatrucha 13, and East Side Clover. This is why a lot of people get confused by street gang roleplayers on servers and sometimes rush to assume they aren't roleplaying the gang properly when it might just be that the gang has different hood politics on the outside than others. The thing I will point out is that whenever a gang member goes to prison, even if he doesn't claim to be a Sureño if his hood by right pays tribute to the Mexican Mafia then he will be considered a Sureño on the inside. Now, this is also where the Paisano perspective comes into play, a lot of Paisanos when they go to prison side with the Southerner Car which is what the Mexican Mafia rules in prison, where every Sureño is thrown into a single prison car and expected to follow a bunch of rules, regulations, and guidelines. But also, there's a lot of Paisanos who come to Los Angeles when they are young and get sucked into gang violence, or come to Los Angeles when they're older and have kids whose kids then get sucked into gang violence, making it a rinse and repeat non-stop cycle of gang volence that spreads down south towards Latin-America when immigrants are arrested and don't have citizenships and are therefore sent back to their home country, with a lot of the times they form their gang/clique/set in their old neighborhood. III. Politics A) This is split into separate parts due to how complex it will be, so I'll begin. Alright, so I'll quote what I've said above before diving into this in a more complex manner first: "Now, I'll give two examples of even more complex politics down below: Some hoods may not even claim to be Sureños even though when thrown into a category they are, three examples of this are: 18th Street, Mara Salvatrucha 13, and East Side Clover. This is why a lot of people get confused by street gang roleplayers on servers and sometimes rush to assume they aren't roleplaying the gang properly when it might just be that the gang has different hood politics on the outside than others. The thing I will point out is that whenever a gang member goes to prison, even if he doesn't claim to be a Sureño if his hood by right pays tribute to the Mexican Mafia then he will be considered a Sureño on the inside." Gang politics tend to be the most confusing part of gang roleplay, and even researching different things can take months if the information isn't on Google, and you need to use social media sites to find out the information for what you want to roleplay so I'll make your life ten times easier by saying this, and this alone... the most overdrawn part of Latino gang roleplay is the slang. A common misconception is the use of the words: "Ese/Esa/Vato/Holmes" etc, eg all old school terms used by Chicano gangs in the 80s and 90s. What I'll say right now is that it depends on the hood, you can argue it's the location but it's not even that... for example: a gang from West Los Angeles might talk like African-Americans and use Blood or Crip slang with their words, but another gang also from West Los Angeles could be so driven on Chicano culture and tradition that every second word you hear is "Ese", alright maybe that's an over-exaggeration but you get my point. The majority of East Los Angeles gangs still talk like this, but the reason I say it's hood related and not geographic related is that it all depends on the big homies of the hood... if a big homie is using blood slang then obviously his younger homies will use that too, the same goes for "Ese/Esa/Vato/Holmes". B) Another misconception is the color banging aspect of hood politics in Los Angeles. Now, I'll start off by saying that the majority of the gangs in Los Angeles couldn't care less if you rock red, blood, purple, orange, green, or hell... even pink. But there is still some hoods that will check you on it if you're flamed/blued up, but that depends on the hood and I won't really dive deep into that as this guide is for overall politics and not for "what gang wears that, this and the third woopty woop". Now, what I will say is there is a lot of red ragging Southsider hoods in Los Angeles, there are gangs that rock purple, green, etc. But color banging isn't popular, and never will be again, a recent thing that came into play in the late 90s early 2000s is clothing brand banging; hat banging, sports team banging, jewelry banging, etc. The reason I put hat banging into its own category and not sports team banging is not every hat donned by a gang member is a sport-related cap and it still may correlate to their hood. The sports team banging normally relates to a letter donned by the sports team and relates to the hood that dons the sports team, the hat banging is the same but it also might have for example: "WESTLAKE", "COMPTON", or "LYNWOOD" written on its front and a gang from any of those three areas may don that cap. Jewelry banging is the same, and a recent trend is where gang members who have money tend to get their hood names custom made for jewelry, or a letter relating to it. I'm not going to tell you how to roleplay your character around jewelry as this guide isn't for that, nor is it my place to do so but I'm just pointing out that it happens. Another thing with gang politics is the misconception that a "race war" is happening, although there may be tension between certain groups and ethnicities there has never been a "race war" and never will as that would get you a terrorism charge, if not something similar. Now, there are racist gang members but as for the misconception that entire hoods are racist, that's untrue. The only thing close to this would be if a big homie doesn't like a certain ethnicity and always talks about it, then his younger homies would more than likely fall victim to that and be influenced by it but even at that a lot of the times the negative big homies in hoods are normally overridden by positive big homies who set the younger homies' minds on a straight path to positivity and prosperity. IV. Tax-Free Gangs A) This will be split into two for the sole reason of me explaining Maravilla's in-depth and deeply confusing clique divide. Just as the title says, these do exist. Tax-free gangs are normally street gangs who don't pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia and are nine out of ten times greenlit, but not all of the times are they greenlit. Now, what I mean by this is for example: Maravilla in East Los Angeles. The gang itself is categorized as a tax-free street gang, but there are cliques who pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia and in return ended up in an internal feud within the Maravilla gang, now you might be confused and asking yourself: "What? That makes no sense, if they goto prison the tax-free clique would be able to fly under Eme for protection then!" Incorrect, that's not true, in fact when a Maravilla gang member goes to prison the same thing happens for them just like 18th Streeters, someone rings up someone on the outside and gets confirmation of who the person is and sometimes tattoos also give away their clique, and it's settled. Not to mention, most tax-free gang members tend to PC up anyways, also known as going into protective custody whilst serving your sentence. B) Now, to explain the situation with Maravilla you need to understand its roots... it's a street gang born on being tax-free and not wanting to bow down to the Mexican Mafia whilst also being proud of their Chicano heritage. Although some cliques do pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia, there's still quite a few who don't. I'm making this simple, but straight to the point so people aren't confused. This guide/information tab is liable to be updated at any point in time when it is I'll reply with a notification saying it's updated as it'll follow the modern-day Los Angeles gang politics on the street, and sometimes prison depending on the situation. Keep in mind, this guide is for Latino-American street gangs only, specifically the ones that are in Los Angeles so Bulldogs and Norteños won't really appear on this thread, so don't get mad or confused when there's nothing relating to those gangs or white or African-American or Asian gangs as I'm purely making this with my own knowledge from what I've been roleplaying for the last several years.

First Night @ The New Clubhouse

https://soundcloud.com/leegit/im-trippin

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:

So hello, I recently noticed a rule that was ideal for the server back in the day to have realism within companies. But no it is no secret the population of the server has grown, with that companies have become older and need to operate more efficiently. My suggestion goes to the rule that states that one Business can have only 1 script. I would suggest that the slots to be increased by one depending on how old your company is in terms of real life years. WHy should it take time? Well because it shows consistency and activity therefor I see this as a valid measuring idea. For example my company was opened in April 2019 it didnt operate fully until july perhaps. Now we have 1 year with this company it has members in the management team, and members in the board of directors. The tasks are much more with more people to handle. I think that giving companies opportunities of growth incentivize business owners and show some history in the server as in how companies grow and so on like they do in real life. TL:DR Basically atm ther eis a rule that states you can only have 1 script per business. I seek to have that rule modified perhaps to us who have been here for too long and have the chance to expand since we are stuck.

Short description: Display altitude when in an aircraft. Detailed description: Add an altitude read-out (in feet) close to where vehicle speed is displayed. This will allow players to fly accurately without needing to use first person view, or to have to continually switch between first and third person view. Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? Aviation RP has really taken off recently (pardon the pun). At the flying school we have been asking students to climb and descend and perform manoeuvres while maintaining altitude. Essentially, this means that the student needs to use first person view to regularly check the altimeter. First person flying in GTA is, to be honest, a bit poopy; this suggestion gives players a choice whether or not to use it. Additional information: Thanks for considering!

This faction is the strongest representation of a black gang I’ve seen in my entire time on GTAW, anybody who says otherwise is a sore loser and that’s the truth. ?‍♀️

Bucket Hats

You can’t please everybody, let’s keep the ball rolling though. There’s plenty of people who’ve role played with us and can tell you that it’s more on the enjoyable side of things. If this faction was to cease to exist then I’m pretty sure that entire surrounding neighborhood of Davis would most likely be a ghost town with no type of significant roleplay going on but it’s okay they never give you the credit that you deserve until it’s all said and done. This faction will go down in history whether you like it or not so keep on hating, Cujo busts his ass to make sure that people have a positive outlook on his faction and I don’t seen him even fuck up personal relationships behind it. So before the next time someone decides to comment and derail our thread just make sure that you have something to top all the shit that you talk because I’ll criticize you right back, this could have easily been handled in PMs but people are attention seekers and flat out weirdos to the point the shit is sickening. Keep making the same type of faction that doesn’t bring nothing new to the table or the server (cough MC cough) and let us focus on what we doing on this side. We good this way love.

Introducing our first promotional video!

had a great encounter with these people

If you think that takes 10-15 minutes to type, then you're dyslexic.

Arctic, You can restart the tutorial by entering the command /setstep 1 I think? Used to be /setstage 1 but I think it was changed.

Pipe Dreams

Lucky's that kinda guy.

This is a pretty cool thread.

I got notifications for this thread, the best of the fuckin best!

Now that you remind the few of us how things were back then, it really puts things in to perspective how far this community has come and grown. Nothing short of amazing. I always knew GTA W had the potential to become the new "LSRP" in terms of the community size, being the ONE. In the early days, everyone was doing their best to create RP without any script support, grinding scriptjobs and joining LSPD & LSFD. Things were so much simpler and innocent back then and I kinda miss it in a nostalgic way. Not that I'd ever wanna go back, but it was a natural journey for this community and I very happy I was a part of it. Here is for another 3 years! ?

love this so much ❤️ please make more!

LMAO

This is lovely actually. - I remember back when I started. We peaked at 30 players. And yet people got together to RP as much as they could! We had Mirror Park being the hub for a good while as the playerbase simply wasn't there for the rest of the city yet. I never forget the times where we started peaking at 60 players. It felt nice not knowing everyone anymore. It made the roleplay much more interesting. When I joined around new year 2017/2018, we didn't even have businesses. RP was very restricted, scriptwise, but people kept up their activity because I think all of us at the time, could see the larger picture. If we kept going, we'd hit 100 players average at some point. To see these numbers and finally being able to take a stroll through Los Santos, seeing players on every corner, really is a sight I have been waiting for, for a long time. And scriptwise the server has blown me away. The work that's been put into making GTA:W an immersive RP experience, is incredible. I am so glad I choose to stick around with this community, through ups and downs. It's been a wonderful journey!

(( Recently noticed a few bartenders in different clubs roleplaying having our drinks without actually having them in businesses that have never even done any roleplay with the brewery. Please don't roleplay 'Beer' 'Whiskey' 'Rum' items as 'Mount Gordo'. Our drinks are named in their own unique way with specific taste description, alcohol percentage and different people are involved in production, advertiesment, graphic design, sales and delivery of those products. If people RP having our items it beats the purpose of having the brewery. Nevertheless I'll continue this business as I hope it provides some value to the server. Hope this comment raises some awareness about it. ❤️ ))
