  1. How about fixing the factions that are already extant on the server? It's currently a watered down simulacrum of LS-RP where most illegal factions can be summed up as simply as "mafia but the characters are from X country." If you're going to make huge leaps in logic opening up some Bolivian Revolutionary Nationalist Movement faction on the west coast, at least put some effort into it beyond your character names.
  2. There's no such thing as "Brittish" [sic] accent American English isn't a language, just a variant. What you're thinking of in regards to the UK is local dialects and slang My issues is that a lot of British characters are simply players' idealised self-inserts. That and they're far too prevalent. Anybody from the Isles would be absolutely pissing with sweat on even the mildest Los Angeles summer day.
  3. @AVRO DANKASTER brought me here from LS-RP.
  4. Bad. By definition "throwaway" means that it is used for a short period of time for a specific task. This obviously does not involve the sort of in-depth and drawn-out character development that creates interesting narratives and nuance in roleplay.
  5. Ah yes, Compton. Definitely my favourite 'hood in Los Santos. Any faction roleplay where the creators lean a little too heavily into emulating it to a tee without much in the way of interesting character development has more in common with homework than roleplay. I typically avoid any faction whose thread is copied verbatim from an FBI report, streetgangs, or some other common source without any personalisation or adaptation to the setting in which it's being portrayed. Using real-life inspiration is a given, just don't be a hack about it. Great examples of how to do this right (in my most humble of opinions) are the Mizrahi crew and Hye Mafia. I promise I'll stop brown-nosing Bader, Samuel_Lora, et al. just as soon as they stop showing up the majority of criminal roleplayers.
  6. I don't know how long you've been gone but they require actual mechanics to repair and modify vehicles at auto shops now. They still exist, they just work a bit differently.

  8. This should have everything you need. For everything else, I recommend hitting up the Discord.
  9. Still streaming, just not here. https://www.twitch.tv/treefittygaming
  10. Theoretically, sure. Objectively, GTA World is a product and we are its customers - ones that have all put time and/or money into it with the aim of helping it to becoming a more populous and accessible medium for roleplay. As such, it's only natural to speak out about issues that individuals feel may jeopardise that goal. The issue lays in non-constructive critique, flaming, and (in my opinion) splitting hairs over details those individuals don't have the credentials to posit solutions for, the former of which I imagine is the toxicity Nervous' post refers to. LSRP got around this (somewhat) with the creation of the Verified Discussion group where trusted community members could weigh in on issues and others could only read the discourse and benefit from the eventual outcomes. It was great in theory but for it to work there needs to be equal input from high-level administrators, management, and developers to prevent discussions from spiraling out of control or into the realm of feature creep. Certainly more manageable than the current solution of everybody shit-flinging in open threads and seeing what sticks after 20 pages when it's inevitably locked.
  11. Down 2 Klown (abbr: DTK; D2K) were a Juggalo gang set operating in central Blaine County, San Andreas. The group formed in the mid-2010s as a loose-knit group of delinquents from high schools in the Sandy Shores and Grapeseed catchment areas. The economic pressure of the latter half of the decade forced some members into petty crime culminating in the arrest and imprisonment of 19 year-old Troy Sullivan for breaking and entering and grievous bodily harm in 2019. Activity waned soon after. Out of character This thread documents the criminal and social elements of Juggalo culture in the Blaine County region. Juggalo sets are one of the newest and strangest phenomena to emerge from the American gang scene in recent years with the FBI officially declaring them as an organized crime threat in 2010. Typically Juggalo sets align themselves towards the dominant gang culture in their areas of operation with individual groups having taken influence from as far-removed organizations as the Ku Klux Klan, Folk Nation, and Piru Blood sets. Some more rural Juggalo sets remain unaligned. While the group follows an allegiance under the Dark Carnival "family" and mythology, the criminal activity carried out by the gang is typically not towards a shared cause with the FBI describing it as "sporadic" and "individualistic". This is largely due to the unstructured nature of Juggalo sets though law enforcement reporting shows this trend to be waning in favour of more gang-like hierarchies.

  12. Urban skins coming in as racist with no development and little knowledge of the scene is some of the laziest shit I've seen. Props to the SHARPs and punks out there keeping it real.
  13. Next to impossible without scripted support and/or a bunch of start-up capital for paying out profit on shares. I've been wanting to try something similar for a while but haven't yet reached a suitable compromise between faithfully emulating stock trading and what is achievable in-game. Don't forget to push Webistics.
