“As for all Aryan Brotherhood defectors, you are on a hit list and you’re going to die one day. You might have divorced the Brand but the Brand hasn’t divorced you.” - Casper Odinson Crowell From within the depths of the Los Santos County Jail system the tentacles of the Aryan Brotherhood could be felt around the neck of the Los Santos criminal underground. While primarily a gang that operates within prisons and county jails, the Aryan Brotherhood was and is fully capable of maintaining and operating a criminal enterprise on the street. The AB moniker and concept of “one is in for life and the only exit is through death” was first adopted in nineteen sixty-seven, yet the original prison gang was founded sometime in the early nineteen sixties. Much like the other racially segregated prison gangs through prison systems across the United States, the Aryan Brotherhood was built around the idea of providing protection for other caucasian prisoners from other prison gangs. Originally a potential member of the Aryan Brotherhood had to part Irish and be able to “stand on their own two feet” in terms of fighting capability, but eventually the group progressed to a point where the family history was no longer needed and the candidate just needed to be caucasian. The Los Santos County Jail system, while newer than its Californian counterpart, has too felt the presence of not only the infamous Mexican Mafia, or La Eme, but the Aryan Brotherhood as well. Little is known to the public about the activities of the AB in San Andreas, but intelligence gathered through confidential informants both in and out of county lockup have provided authorities with an overall picture. Sources within the Los Santos Police Department and the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department have indicated that two major players from within the San Andreas branch of the Aryan Brotherhood have made their presence known within Los Santos the past year - Merle Leutticke and James Strauss respectfully. These two individuals have been cited by law enforcement as to having setup the AB’s original communication and street operations. Yet in recent months, both individuals have been said to have returned to prison and transferred out of state, which was an attempt by the Los Santos County Sheriff’s Department and San Andreas Department of Corrections to dismantle the influence of the Aryan Brotherhood on the Los Santos criminal underworld. With the future of the Aryan Brotherhood’s street operations still in jeopardy as there is a clear lack of an individual at the top of the pyramid, law enforcement and criminal experts can only speculate who this individual may or may not be. To be given the reins of the AB’s lucrative Los Santos and Blaine County operations, this individual or individuals, must be connected to various AB members with influence in the multitude of correctional systems throughout the United States.

Short description: Add the Nagasaki Chimera to the dealership. Detailed description: The motorcycle Nagasaki Chimera is not in the dealership, and I don't see why it shouldn't be. Just recently there's been a case where I wanted to have one, given my disabilities. Was run over by a vehicle and have a hard time riding a two-wheel motorcycle, so an additional wheel added to the back through extensive roleplay would be supportive for my character. The bike: Commands to add: n/a Items to add: Nagasaki Chimera, to the dealership. How would your suggestion improve the server? It would broaden opportunities for motorcyclists who wish to roleplay certain disabilities and have a hard time riding their bike. People who are roleplaying veterans or old as well. Or those who just favour two wheels in the back. Additional information: n/a

Rave at the Warehouse Aska Redan When one hears the word "warehouse" they often expect cargo containers, boxes, and if the movies are to be taken seriously - a hot location for all manner of illegal activities, from arms deals to illegal teddy bear sweatshops. However, the Warehouse in La Mesa is one part stereotype and one part unique location. When I first stepped into the club, I had half expected it to be like many of the others. Bahama Mama's, Galaxy, and HEAT all have fairly similar DJ rotations and laid back atmospheres. They're perfect places to meet strangers, have a drink, and dance your sorrows away before Sunday morning. This was not the case with Warehouse, however. I was met with this amazingly brutal industrial themed music. Pallets, battered crates, and oil-drums were being used as tables. Old car seats and discarded couches were used for seating. Cargo containers were made into ramps and wall covers. Flashing emergency lights and traffic signals syncing to the beat of the delightfully moody and experimental DJ. This was beyond something any other club has done in my experience. For once, a place had actual style and substance to it. Warehouse is only truly rivaled by the Garden in this regard. When I entered I went up to the bar. It was well stocked and I asked for the house favorite. Not but a few minutes after ordering my drink I was given a double whiskey, neat. Nothing extraordinary but the service was top notch. I mingled with a few friends for a minute, due to how bare the club was looking. This wasn't their fault, however, as two other clubs were open that night and divided attention. The interior of the Warehouse The whole club captured me and as any reasonable writer would do, I went to find the owner. I was lead to the lovely Mrs. Steph Taskovic who was more than willing to tell me about her club (AR is Aska Redan while ST is Steph Taskovic):   AR: Whoever designed this was a genius. ST: Thanks, it was a good friend of mine, from back home in Australia. We worked on it together. AR: He has excellent taste. ST: He flew in to help, I have a specific in mind. I had planned on asking her what the inspiration and concept for the club was going to be. However, she managed to answer that well before I asked. ST: At the time there were a lot of clubs that were just, carbon copies of each other. Same look, feel, and music. I wanted to do something different. AR: You just answered a question I was about to ask.  ST: I'm also a mind reader.    Steph Taskovic, owner of the Warehouse. We continued to discuss the club at length before finally getting to the music. The DJ of the night was DJ TM, who had recently moved back to LS after some time. His music was nothing less than a much-needed reprieve from the same standard club beats. The feel was dark and brooding industrial music but interlaced with heavy synths and bass. There were even Harry Potter and some unknown video game voice lines sampled into the music - something I've never heard before in any of the clubs in Los Santos. The experience I had was world-class, and I highly recommend anyone seeking a new place to spice up their routine to visit this wonderful location in La Mesa. Saints News

Guna Yala dancers disappointed after their application as exotic dancers is rejected It's not always easy, finding a job in Los Santos. One interest, however, seems to be quite constant: exotic and tribal culture. Most of the denizens of the San Andreas state saw the desperate search for exotic dancers, most likely conducted by cultural institutions of various kinds. But luckily for them, a family from the wonderful region of Guna Yala, in Panama, was ready to answer the call. After preparing their traditionnal exotic dances for weeks, in order to showcase the cultural richness of their native region, they replied to several of the various ads that are plastered over Los Santos' advertisement apps. After some time waiting for their interview, they noticed most of the other candidates were local women. While their dancing skills were certainly good, they were far, far from exotic, and the family had some great hopes! Alas! their efforts were vain. Four different local clubs rejected their application, in spite of an absolutely monumental display of the ancestral dances of Guna Yala. Many questions crossed their minds, which they shared with us. « Is Panama not exotic enough? Should we have chosen other dances? » they wondered as they left the very last interview of the day. « It's strange, though, » one of them noticed, « because one of the dancers they hired wasn't looking very exotic. She looked very American. ». Paints News confirmed the woman in question is indeed from Sandy Shores. When interrogated, the owners had no good explanation to give, overall. Some mentioned the standards expected by their clientele, others that they were looking for a « different type of dancing » altogether. The last, however, seems to have been the victim of a sad misunderstanding. When we inquired, he concluded: « Nah, now I'll just say strippers in my ad, because if I ever have to waste my time like that again, Imma fucking kill someone... ». Paints news is a news outlet, providing the most dubious information from the less reliable sources. Nothing we post should be taken as fact, unless you really have no critical sense.

Eighties Night at HEAT By Lola Mendoza “Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.” My short visit to HEAT Nightclub last night turned out to be a wonderful journey back to the golden days of the eighties. The atmosphere truly spoke for the club, let alone the overwhelming positivity everyone shared throughout the night. It was thrilling and elating, but perhaps that's the tequila speaking on my behalf. Regardless, it stands as one of the more intriguing nights I've had in Los Santos. And who else to compliment but DJ Rina! She was a wonder to witness, providing the entire club with phenomenal and nostalgic eighties hits, ensuring the flow back in time was infinite! Her irresistible, magic performance made everyone bounce to their feet and dance until the sweat melted them away into nothingness! The night was her's, and she made sure to grasp onto the opportunity and forward the happiness to everyone else - for which the crowd expressed our gratitude. More kudos go to the amazing service provided at the bar itself. A pair of barmaids ensured that our adventures through time did not cease. Besides, what else do you need other than amazing music and a good drink to have a lovely time! Unfortunately, a few accidents occurred during the night, albeit nothing majorly concerning for the crowd. At one point, prior to my arrival at the club, a woman fainted for reasons unknown. However, an ambulance was quickly dispatched from LSFD to sort the situation and aid the troubled woman. Mind that DJ Rina was consistently trying to calm the situation over the microphone and before you knew it everyone was dancing again like nothing had happened! After the club closed, everyone elegantly walked outside with rumors of an after-party. There were no incidents, except for a few clumsy, drunken folks that kissed the pavement. All in all, eighties night at HEAT was very satisfying! Saints News

AMBERT ALERT: Staff and journalists of Weazel News After over ten days of silence, and a month of no noticeable activity, the government of San Andreas state has decided to run a state-wide Amber Alert for the workers and journalists of Weazel News. Anyone seeing any of them or hearing of the whereabouts of the news organization should immediately report to the LSPD or call the governor's office. For those who aren't aware of the situation, Weazel News hasn't shown signs of life for well over a month now. The only articles published were ones pre-written by the LSPD, such as those flaunting their new vehicles or the Chief of Police's interview. However, as soon as this pre-written content reached its end, no word was heard from the offices of the historical news outlet. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half weeks, Weazel News passed out of all knowledge. Image: Weazel News™ It's only after a most concerning article was published that the LSPD started investigating. Indeed, the last announcement about an "entertainment" section, while Weazel wasn't even able to produce any normal news, was seen as a message of alert and a call for help from the few people still alive there. Los Santos' finest immediately drove to the scene but, alas!, the offices were found empty with no sign of the people working there. After it became obvious that none of the journalists and staff working there left any track, the LSPD decided to launch this Amber Alert. Their pictures will also be printed on milk cartons, as well as beer cans and lubricant bottles (although a true man uses Vicks VapoRub). As always, we will make sure to let you know should their whereabouts be found - or their untimely doom. Paints news is a news outlet, providing the most dubious information from the less reliable sources. Nothing we post should be taken as fact, unless you really have no critical sense. For more not-so-dependable information, do follow us on Facebrowser. We cannot, however, find journalists.

Username: LittleSeouler Comment: I live in Little Seoul and ever since that Nigel guy drove last manager out, I never saw anyone there, and that is more than a month. False informations.

Beanbags are designed to hit someone, cause pain and then encourage them to comply. They don't actually transfer enough kinetic energy to push a standing person back. I'll link an example to show what I mean. If you're uncomfortable with seeing someone being shot with a beanbag, don't click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDLBwLXzxWs&feature=youtu.be&t=5 There are other examples I've seen of beanbag shotguns being used in real life but they also include shootings or people that seem to shrug off the beanbag hits. Will it hurt a lot? Obviously. Would it effect a motorcycle rider? Absolutely. But I don't believe it's enough to actually knock someone off a motorcycle. I don't believe that, in the interest in having a realistic roleplay environment and to be fair to players because of how the script works, that the LSPD should be using beanbag shotguns on moving targets. Since it forces the rider off and doesn't give them a chance to roleplay, it's powergaming in my opinion. This is my own opinion though and the final decision is something for Legal FM to decide.

Me and my homies been using ARP Chatlog Magician for already quite some time as it produces right quality chat image and is extremely easy to use. The problem was that it was not GTA.WORLD ready - missing colors and features, long load time, etc, etc. At first, the idea was to make it just GTAW compatible, but ended up adding some severe features to it because why not? For those who know how to make a proper roleplay screenshot: https://pyromaniacdev.eu/chatlog/ Current, 2.0(GTAW) features (http://pyromaniacdev.eu/chatlog/changelog For those who still make unreadable roleplay screenshots, we are going to follow how-to properly edit a roleplay screenshot 101. This guide will include the usage of GTA.WORLD Chatlog Magician, GTA World Chat Log Parser and Photoshop. (psst! I'll let you on a little secret - LSRP+ is fucking garbage!) 1. The usage of GTA World Chat Log Parser (download link) - as this is currently the only way to garnish your chat logs, I use this. I am a lazy person and using /blindfold to take a screenshot of chat log > crop it > work on the stroke, etc. etc., is just too much of work for me. 2. Right now, we already have our chat log, and it is the time to use Chatlog Magician. 3. We already have our roleplay lines ready; it's time to make the roleplay screenshot itself. 4. Save it! You're also allowed to add various effects to your screenshot, graffitis and whatnot, but keeping it simple is one of the most important keys to having a readable and non-spoiling roleplay screenshot! ))))) Exported and final result:

They already have the sitting animations, I've sent them like 40 sitting animations several months ago. Take a look here https://imgur.com/a/9cQwW5y The latest photos, they only added a few of them from the config I sent them. The animations "sit" to "sit10" (more or less) are used in the game for other things, and barely can be used.

Following up on this, I'd like to say that I've spent quite a bit of time on the possibility of trying to get add-on hairstyles. As you may know the CURRENT pack only allows up to 37 hairstyles at the moment because that's how many duplicates (or even hairstyles that are in the current game) were in the pack. Well the days of messing with those duplicates and replacing them are over! I and @pixel have been conversing back and forth on what was possible, and I've been relaying my progress countless times with them. With a lot of trial and error, we eventually made that happen. I couldn't have been so happy to make such a breakthrough worth mentioning. What does this mean? Well it means that we can finally set a WAY higher limit for things like clothing or hair. Which means all of this stuff can now officially be "addon" content. Which also means hundreds of hairstyles can easily be added as well as clothing, faces, anything that's apart of the online MP counterpart. You name it. We can finally do addon content for. I made a video demonstrating how the limit adjustment worked by combining Pixel's pack and the current server's pack. With a total of 49 hairstyles! https://streamable.com/kz4ue

Then again, if someone can show me examples of fascinating and character-developing RP from someone tending a gas station, I'd be curious. ? It's the dullest possible experience, really. Gas is more of a gameplay money sink than of an actual RP hook.

You've hit the nail right on the head! That's actually part of the reason I stopped playing here, I like to RP a character in their mid 50s/60s and in a server where most of the RP happens in illegal or night lifestyle/clubs, it gets really difficult. Firstly, because an older character hanging out with a way younger age group just seems off and the topic of discussion gets really awkward and boring, and secondly there aren't many people who like to RP older characters. The older lifestyle, might I add especially in LA/California/SA resonates usually with secret societies, elitism and business magnates who like to talk business most of the time, or either spend their time in high society or being a socialite.
