I. History 1957-1969 The Mexican Mafia (EME) began its formative period between 1957-1969. The initial steps were taken by then 17 year-old Luis ‘Huero Buff’ Flores from Hawaiian Gardens who alongside fellow imprisoned gang members created the ‘gang of gangs’. The initial vision that served as the motivation behind the Mexican Mafia was to control the black market within the prison system. By the 1960s, the inmates identified as being irreformable were graduated from DVI (Deuel Vocational Institution) to San Quentin Prison, the aim behind this move was to incorporate YA (Youth Authority) prisoners alongside hardened, Adult prisoners to serve as a deterrent for these youth offenders to change their ways. This however did not work and soon after touching down at San Quentin, Jesus ‘Liro’ Pedroza and Eddie ‘Potato Nose’ Loera made their introductions by stabbing to death two convicts. These would become the first two recorded homicides of the Mexican Mafia. CDC intelligence refers to the December of 1961 as ‘Black December’ as it is during this time where the Mexican Mafia began taking significant strides to consolidate themselves as a newly formed Hispanic prison gang within San Quentin prison. During this time, 4 inmates and 1 prison guard are murdered by members of the Mexican Mafia. With various killings of Whites, Blacks and Hispanics to follow over the next decade. 1970-1984 By the 1970-1984, the Mexican Mafia began extending their sphere of influence outside prison walls. The cause behind this was attributed to the Senate Bill (SB-42) which resulted in mass releases of hundreds, including several members of the Mexican Mafia who were released directly from the SHU (Secure Housing Units). This now meant that influential members were now able to ‘Spread the EME gospel’ which with time proved that the strategies deployed by the Mexican Mafia to exert control and influence on the inside could be just as effectively translated on the outside. Over this time, EME essentially would become a household name within Southern California neighborhoods. The mention of EME or the Mexican Mafia would generate real fear as news accounts and stories circulated of the violence the prison gang demonstrated. It was also during this time when the initial EME heroin pipelines began to appear which was pioneered by Joe ‘Peg Leg’ Morgan. It was also during the 1970s-1984 when the Mexican Mafia became well known within the criminal underground beyond their original confines of prison, which again was attributed primarily to their hands-on approach to violence. This aggressive expansion to the exteriors of the prison structure led to creating a significant impression on the consciousness of Southern California gang members who then became known as ‘Sureños’ (Southerners). It’s important to also note that due to the efforts undertaken by the EME members during this era, a key framework/foundation was created for the next generation of members to capitalise on and take charge, the steps undertaken during this time laid the ground works for the Mexican Mafia to directly exploit the manpower of Sureño gangs which is in the tens of thousands as a resource to further their own development and influence. II. Drive-Bys Violence in Los Angeles during the early 1990s was incredibly high, and primarily drive-by shootings served as a key cause of concern for many and served as a direct source of inflicting damage to many innocent women, children and elderly that were caught in the crossfire between Sureño gang wars. The primary concern however behind this was the unwanted media attention it generated for EME. Due to this, it was decided that drive-bys will no longer be tolerated. On September 18, 1992 - a large-scale meeting was held at Elysian park in LA sponsored by EME where over 2,000 Sureño gang members came in attendance. The rules of the meeting were simple, all attendees were to come unarmed, and no attendee would engage in any gang violence before, during or after the meeting. The rules laid out however were not followed by one member of the Opal Street gang who came armed with a pistol. A carnal by the name of Ernest ‘Chuco’ Castro approached the offender in front of all the attendees and proceeded to slap him and take away his firearm. On the back of this action, the Opal Street gang remains greenlit. This direction served multiple motives, it took away the unwanted attention placed on EME and it demonstrated the control and power EME had over the street gangs under it. After this meeting, murder rates in LA dropped significantly. III. Taxation Taxation in the way it’s done now was initially instigated by Peter ‘Sana’ Ojeda, in 1992, Sana who is considered an influential carnal held meetings with gang leaders and members across Orange County where he enforced a truce between Sureños within his territory. After aligning the truce between long-time rivals, Sana moved onto the collecting of taxes from the gangs within his turf. Further to this, the structure of this arrangement was established through ‘reps’ who served as a go-between for the Sureño gangs and EME. The reps would serve multiple functions, the key being; - Collect drug sales/territorial taxes - Act as enforcers for EME. - Serve as a communication line between Sureño gangs and EME. - Establish a vertical leadership structure. It is however important to note that the taxation structure varied, some Carnales demanded tax and tribute from gangs itself that operated within their designated turfs, the regularity of payments also varied from weekly to monthly. There was nor is any specific format that is deployed to govern how a Carnal would conduct their business inside their turf. The initial exercise of halting drive-bys segwayed directly into the taxation which fundamentally became a ‘cash cow’ for EME and demonstrated the willingness thousands of Sureños had to comply with EME’s authority and demands. It's also important to note that some Carnals choose to not tax their varrios but rather may yield financial value from them in other ways. This can mean drugs or other valuable assets. An example of this is with Florencia 13 that isn't necessarily taxed by the Carnal due to the fact the Carnal chooses to not tax them. IV. Greenlights A greenlight/lista are individuals and gangs that are placed on a list targeting them for death. It is expected that anyone greenlighted is targeted by all sureño gangs who are then ordered to attack and kill them on sight in both jail and on the streets. The typical way a greenlight is approached is dependent upon the reasoning behind the greenlight was issued, however if a gang violates an edict issued by EME, then the process is typically to kill the direct offenders of the edict and maintain the greenlight on the gang until the gang approaches its EME rep or a carnal to make amendments for their violation. More often than not, these sanctions are resolved through additional EME taxes which allow offenders to get a pass by the carnal. V. Rules of the Mexican Mafia The Mexican Mafia has several rules in place to safeguard the integrity of the organisation and its members, however more often than not these rules are broken and serve merely as guidelines in the current day. EME reglas (rules) are never written on paper. 1. A member must not be a rat. 2. A member may not be a homosexual. 3. A member may not be a coward. 4. A member may not have sex with the wife or girlfriend of another member. 5. A member may not raise his hand against another member without sanction from the organisation. 6. A member may not politick against another member or cause dissent within the organisation. 7. A member may not steal from or encroach upon the turf of another member. 8. Membership is for life. 9. EME comes first, even before one’s family. VI. Cultural Influence A key propeller behind the Mexican Mafia and La Causa (The EME Cause) is attributed to the importance placed on Hispanic and Aztec cultures. The foundations of many early street gangs such as; White Fence, Temple Street, Clanton Street, Canta Ranas, 38th Street and Hawaiian Gardens all identified strongly with ancient Toltec and Aztec indians as well as the Yaquis and Apaches. The inspiration from these cultures became a source of ethnic pride for these individuals who perceived themselves as ‘street warriors’. These closely knit, proud cultures further reinforced the community themed gangs who served as a form of ‘extended family’ for its members. Furthermore, around this time the aforementioned warrior mentality was appealing to Mexican-American communities during WW2, especially in the case of those Men who served in the war, however for those who held criminal mindsets - this warrior mentality further reinforced and developed their ‘code of conduct’ which fundamentally governed the original street gang culture adopted by Hispanics in Los Angeles. Due to this significance placed in Aztecs and other ancient cultures, EME deploys an array of imagery and vocabulary to demonstrate their affiliation with this warrior culture. Mexican Mafia members have been known to study Nahuatl, which is an ancient language of the Aztec people as well as use the Mayan numeral system. This is not only done to show allegiance to the Mexican Mafia but also to communicate in a covert manner. It is common to hear inmates at Pelican Bay SHU and other maximum security housing facilities teaching each other these languages. The primary reason behind it’s widespread deployment is that very rarely would correctional/judiciary officers be able to understand what is being said. VII. Criminal Activities Aside from the revenue streams generated through the taxation of sureño gangs, EME is involved heavily within drug trafficking, extortion, gambling, prostitution and murder. Due to the structural nature of the organisation, many of these activities are conducted by camaradas who in turn pay their own taxes to a carnal for conducting any criminal activity in their turf. A key area as mentioned earlier for EME is drug trafficking, by establishing heroin pipelines in the late 70s, the foundations established by the earlier generations continue to be a source of revenue for EME with various operations darted across East Los Angeles primarily to process heroin and meth. VIII. Leadership Structure From the early beginnings of EME, the recruitment policy was to recruit the ‘cream of the crop’ At the beginning stages of the Mexican Mafia, the new recruits brought in were veteran gang leaders who were unaccustomed to taking direct orders, realising this, Huero Buff understood that appointing himself as the direct leader would subject EME to infighting, politicking and power-plays which would only serve to weaken the organisation especially during its early stages. Therefore, the leadership structure of EME was crafted to where all members/carnales were equals and awarded a vote on matters that concerned EME as a whole. The leadership structure is horizontal with no direct leader overseeing the organisation as a whole, with all carnales being ‘equal’ and awarded the same vote as one another. This however is further covered in the power dynamics section which explains the informal hierarchy that exists. IX. Power Dynamics Although the leadership structure of EME is horizontal with no leader on the top to oversee the organisation as a whole, informal hierarchies do exist within the organisation. The term used for this is ‘juice/jugo’ which essentially refers to the level of influence and power a carnal holds within the organisation. The level of ‘juice’ a carnal has is subjective to their political acumen, intelligence and diplomatic maneuvering which determines how they’re positioned within the organisation. If a carnal with a lot of power and influence proposes someone for membership, then more than likely that individual will get welcomed in despite any concerns other members without as much power/influence may have. An example of this is seen in the case of Pelon Maciel who was sponsored for membership by Huero Shy in 1995, despite all present for the vote not knowing who he was, Pelon was voted in and made a carnal. Another example of ‘juice’ is seen in the case of Huero Buff who engaged in consensual sex with the wife of another member within EME. For any normal member, they would’ve been executed for such an infraction however due to the influence and power held by Huero Buff, he suffered no sanction for this. X. Carnales/EMERO’s An EMERO or a carnal is a made member of the Mexican Mafia. Typically, these individuals have proven their loyalty to the organisation and have been sponsored for membership by another, existing member of the organisation who is in good standing. The individual who nominated the new member serves as the ‘padrino’ for the newly made carnal and is expected to explain all the rules, and the newly made member is expected to memorise them. Once the individual has become a Carnal, they’re free to operate and conduct their business anywhere where a Carnal is not already operating. Personality/Demeanor The demeanor and personality of these individuals vary drastically, more often than not there is drug and substance abuse involved - however as any individual their characteristics, personalities, demeanours is all contingent upon their own beliefs, morals and life experiences. However, despite this - it’s important to note that becoming a Carnal is a major event and is a source of pride for most of these individuals, as such their personalities and demeanors may adapt based on this newfound status. No shoe fits all, and as such - you will find the Carnales having drastically different personalities, some may be more strict and aggressive with a more imposing personality whereas others may be more laid back and polite. Drug abuse is also a common area under-represented in roleplay which is something that everyone needs to consider when roleplaying characters like this, in specific heroin abuse. The level of intelligence, political acumen (as discussed in power dynamics) and other variables are all contingent upon the development of your character, as stated across various interviews pertaining to the Mexican Mafia, the Carnales significantly varied in their approach to conflicts, issues as well as how they presented themselves. Their level of knowledge, vocabulary and other aspects of life also varied based on this information. Induction Process Currently, a three-member rule is used by the Mexican Mafia when inducting new members. The three-member rule requires a minimum of three (including the sponsor) made Carnales to vote an individual into EME. If other members are present at the location (I.E Pelican Bay SHU), then they must all participate in the voting process. The reason behind this is to minimise corruption within the induction system and limit politicking/power plays amongst Carnales. If any single member was to vote against the potential member, then the vote would be thrown out and the individual would not become a Carnal. Tattoos Symbolism is incredibly important in EME, and to the trained eye - the tattoos of an individual can tell you exactly who someone is and where they are from. As such, being a Carnal is a source of pride and the tattoos would serve as a source through which the individuals are openly tied to the organisation. Carnales may choose to represent their affiliation in simplistic manners through small tattoos saying M, EME, LA M or alternatively use the black hand and other forms of symbolism. Despite the fact that there is a rule in the organisation to never admit its existence, the tattoo culture within the organisation acts as a direct contradiction to those rules. XI. Camaradas/Soldados Camaradas are Sureños who have put in work for the Mexican Mafia/Carnales and are elevated to become a Camarada/Soldado. You do not have to be a Sureño to become a Camarada, in fact Norteños can also become Camaradas, and there are many Carnales who are also Norteños, however the distinction needs to be made between a Norteño and a member of the Nuestra Familia (NF). A Camarada is an individual who is willing to kill and die for EME without any question or hesitation. At times referred to as ‘expendables’, they are expected to openly accept the possibility of facing life sentences, death rows and even going on ‘kamikaze hits’ or ‘suicide missions’ for EME. They are tested, tried and trusted soldiers and friends of EME. For Sureños wanting to make an impression with EME, they would need to establish themselves in the criminal underworld to become Camaradas which then would serve as the first step in them being potentially inducted into EME. It is important to note that very few Camaradas actually complete the circle of being inducted into EME, with many perishing in political clashes amongst Carnales and ‘house cleanings’ in which internal purges take place. A Camarada would carry out several activities on the streets and in jail for Carnales and also conduct their own business from which typically they would pay taxes to the Carnale within who’s turf they’re operating. The type of work these Camaradas can do varies, from robberies, extortion, murder to various rackets such as illegal gambling and prostitution - the criminal activities that Camaradas take part in are vast. Crews The hierarchy of an atypical EME crew would be as follows for a Carnal who is incarcerated. The figurehead of the crew would be the Carnal, beneath him there would be a ‘facilitator’ who usually would be the wife, girlfriend or relative of the Carnal as they would have easier means of communicating with them as well as natural trust. Beneath the facilitator is the Camarada who communicates solely with the Carnal and the facilitator. Beneath the Camarada, there is a crew leader who are individuals selected by Camaradas to enforce, collect payments and distribute narcotics. Beneath the crew chiefs are the crew members who are workers, dealing drugs and conducting other criminal activities in their respective gang territories. The ultimate authority lies with the Carnal, however if the Carnal is incarcerated then the authority by proxy is with the Camarada. As the lower echelon of these crews will never interact with the higher levels such as the facilitator or the Carnal, and the higher levels wouldn’t want to interact with the lower ones due to fear of information being divulged to law enforcement - the Camaradas act as a sort of firewall and intermediary between the two and are of significant importance. These crews are not isolated to one, a carnal can have multiple crews. The range of the crews is also vast, for example Rene ‘Boxer’ Enriquez from Artesia California was not solely operating in Artesia, he was allowed to operate anywhere that a Carnal is not already operating/is not already claimed by a Carnal. This means that any area without the presence of a Carnal is free-game, a Carnal can establish a crew anywhere they deem necessary. In the case of Boxer, he operated in; Riverside, Lennox, Victorville, Norwalk, Haiwaiian gardens, Artesia, and North-East LA, with different crews. These crews can also extend to prisons. It is also important to note that typically, a Carnal who is incarcerated would not always be the highest paying member of these crews. The reasoning behind this is if a Carnal wishes to achieve a successful crew without micromanagement, then he would need to ensure that everyone is earning money and has the autonomy to function without the need of micromanagement. For a Carnal who is not incarcerated, logic will deduce that the income they receive would be higher in comparison to the Carnales who are. XII. Señoras Women play a critical role in the structure of EME, and have successfully done so for the larger part of the organisation's history. The role Women have played has successfully served as a form of insulation from law enforcement, and has halted many law enforcement investigations and prosecutions of Carnales. Within an atypical EME crew, the role of the Señora is second only to the Carnal. The nature of these relationships varied, with some Señoras being openly aware of their involvement within EME activity, others being somewhat aware and some being completely kept in the dark and expected to be loyal. Señoras are the wives and girlfriends of Carnales within the Mexican Mafia. The typical activities they would be involved in would be facilitating, communicating as well as being the end-point for most of the funds extracted by the crews of the Carnal. There are many examples of these activities taking place, however a more recent example is seen through Danny ‘Popeye’ Roman who was an incarcerated Carnal and a leader of the Harpys 13 gang. Popeye’s daughter, Vianna managed her father’s business in the streets and acted as a facilitator between him and his crew, relaying orders to underlings to extort, assault and kill. Vianna pleaded guilty in 2014 to racketeering, drug trafficking and firearms offenses and is currently serving a 15 year prison sentence. Sources;

Seeing so many replies with such ignorance and 0 information to back it up always gives me a good laugh. The protocol in SFM is (and saying so as the one who created this faction and every one of its manuals) that a propery owner will get at least 3 notices to file an inspection request and once a request is up the property will never be shut down until the inspection will be concluded. SFM came up with unique and creative ideas to help property owners to have their license issued. For example, going to one of the replies in this topic, if the person is not a donator and cannot add more props to his interior due to reaching a limit, marshals offer to add those objects out of their own pocket / faction bank expenses. And no, there are no "4 members" in the faction. Some of the replies are simply not objective, some by people who got their place closed cause they simply ignored every notice and some by players who got faction banned for their "good" behavior. You can't let someone to keep shitting on warnings each time they receive one and not enforce the law you have been created to enforce. I'm sorry but if someone ignores 3 warnings the closure is on him. You have a question? The SFM discord is open for everyone to join and ask for a visitor group where you can speak with marshals, ask questions and understand the faction further.

as someone who has actively mained a political character on LSRP for ~3 years both in the legislative and executive branches, i really dislike the current political scene here. this is mostly because there is simply way too much ooc politicking involved. before i talk about the issues i've observed, i would like to point out that none of these are personal digs to anyone. to begin, and this often comes with the gov faction on every server it is introduced in, people seem to think just because they rp characters that are influential and that are in charge of most things in the state ic, they themselves have a right to dictate what most legal AND illegal factions can roleplay. what the people in charge of and taking part in gov/political roleplay have to realize is that the government as a faction is not there to lead and direct things on an ooc level, but provide support to other avenues of roleplay as side characters. gov is a supporting faction, not a leading one, mostly because of the limitations of the game world. this is akin to the age old argument for LEO roleplay: LEOs are not here to police the server, they are here to provide law enforcement roleplay. this goes for gov/senate: gov is not here to lead all factions, theyre here to provide realistic government roleplay. a solid example to this is the constant attempts at legalizing marijuana. we saw it happen on LSRP multiple times. we see it happening here, as well. while yes, it is realistic for a democratic government imitating that of california to decriminalize and legalize marijuana, one must also take into account the significant impact such an act would have on the illegal drug trade scene which is already hurting pretty bad. therefore, without consulting illegal faction leaders and ifm, pushing for such a move is simply debilitating roleplay instead of creating it. most roleplay revolving around marijuana is about its trade, not about its use. legalizing it will almost eliminate it from the game. another issue ive seen here is that there is a lot of OOC politicking going around as well. if you are going to maintain a functional GOV faction, you are going to have to work together OOC as well instead of trying to push your own personal agenda all the time. i like to think our little stint with george, eriks, kushin, justitiae etc on LSRP was quite successful (despite its ~3 month short tenure) mostly because we worked as a team and worked to implement each others ideas instead of simply focusing on our own goals. in fact, it all fell apart the moment we all started focusing on our own things instead of the gov faction as a whole, and stopped working together. if you conspire against other gov/senate roleplayers and start to take it ooc, gov roleplay is simply going to be diminished to a bunch of closed circle rpers insulting each other on weekly lsnn news articles, like it did on lsrp. gov is a team effort, and always has been. your personal agenda is not important. no one cares about it. however, to clarify, this does not mean your CHARACTER should not push their own agenda. they should. thats what politicians do. you simply should not take it out of character and actually learn to lose from time to time when your efforts go to waste after ic debates and deliberations. a third issue i want to address is the amount of administrative involvement with gov roleplay. we had constant management interference in our affairs on lsrp, mostly to balance the legal and illegal scene and keep us from legalizing anything that would simply tip the balance beyond repair. contrary to what most of my fellow political roleplayers would defend, i think this is a necessary evil. while it sounds cool to have an outrageous governor that legalizes dumb shit and turns the state into a criminal haven, it is absolutely NOT cool to actually have one. it looks dumb, it looks goofy, and it ruins everyone else's roleplay. the only problem with administrative involvement is that the admins that are tasked with keeping an eye on gov sometimes do not keep their ego in check. once again, this is not a personal dig. the admins involved have to realize that they are not in charge of gov, they are simply supervising it. finally, illegal rp, contrary to popular belief, goes very well with government roleplay. bribery and constant lobbying are very common place in real life politics. organized crime factions could very easily try to get some politicians in their pockets to try and get their agenda pushed. politicians should help this out by not making their characters the pre-incident harvey dents of los santos. most of the time, this will lead to the senate rooms and news articles turning into an ic platform for illegal and legal factions to push changes on the server on an ic level, giving gov roleplayers something to do AND providing a ton of roleplay for LEOs, gov rpers, news rpers, civilians AND illegal roleplayers. TLDR: gov rp is a community effort, not a personal effort. if we want a functional gov providing good rp to people, we should vet the people taking part in it a lot better, and learn to separate ooc from ic.

John "Summit" Luther Jefferson OOC Notes: This character was created to portray the life of a former gangbanger in his early 60's. John was created to offer an alternative approach on illegal roleplay. I strongly thrive to surround John's roleplay-scenarios in the passive part of hood-roleplay, adding an extra dimention to the different portrayals surrounding the character and the active area. Background: Born in Chamberlain Hills, 1959, John lived his first ten years in a hostile, poor environment including petty crimes. At the age of thirteen, 1972, John took his first step into organized crime backing up childhood-friend Darius "Shottie" White, 17, to unite several like-minded Chamberlain Hills street-gangs, setting up the first foundation in Chamberlain Hills for future Crip sets. The Chamberlain Hills Crips Riders worked as a medium scale umberella for local Crip sets. John was declared second in command, OOG, in 1976 at the age of seventeen as Darius "Shottie" White's brother passed away during an ongoing burglary. After the tragic death of Raymond Lee Wasnhington, 25, the Chamberlain Hills-Westside alliance broke up in 1979 resulting in internal and external conflicts between the sub-sets and rising rival sets. In december 1979 John, 20, received a lifetime imprisonment sentence after battling two murder charges of the first degree. Imprisonment: Now a life-timer, John quickly throws himself in the illegal operations within his current federal prison. Due to consistant transfers John, 22, loses his ability to operate CHC Riders and the umberella is disbanded, allowing power-changes within the Chamberlain Hills area. Eleven years later, John's sentence is reduced to 41 years and 299 days (15 273 days). Release Jan, 2021: John, 61, gets released and taken to his family property inside of the Tahaitan apartment complex, now claimed turf by the Barrio 13, a gang loyal to the notorious Mexican mafia. With diplomacy as a key opponent through his whole life, the people of Barrio 13 would become far more than just a neighbor. Surrounded by his new people, John quickly realized that as society changed on him the streets never did. Power and greed where yet again to blind his original vision of a united neighborhood. If you would like to follow John's journey in a different perspective than shown here, please visit the Barrio 13 faction thread HERE.

(This thread will follow the life and development of Alonzo Guzman, a Culver City local) Alonzo banged out with his fresh clothes from the swapmeet Alonzo Guzman, born on May 16 XXXX with Oaxacan (Mexican Region) descent, him being the middle child of of six and known to be insecure, loudmouthed & vulgar mostly to overcompensate for his small build and vocabulary that was often perceived by his family. Spending the majority of his time outside from the heavy domestic violence from his mother and father causing him to be out in the neighborhood out and about getting into all types of mischievous activities. His family is 50/50, half of his family being paisas and the other half being your traditional gangbangers from Surenos to Nortenos even a couple of bloods and crips. Not being your average Culver City kid, dressing up as the "old-school" and "cholo" clothing as other kids on his block would wear modern streetwear; Not as a fashion statement but as an influence from family members and only things he could afford. Slowly falling in the same path as many of his family members.

Short description: Add a delay when officers try to remove a spike strip that they've placed it onto the ground. Detailed description: Realistically, you wouldn't be able to place a spike strip and remove it in a matter of seconds so your colleagues can keep driving, it just is humanely impossible. There should be a reasonable delay when someone tries to remove spikes in order to maintain balance in the game. I think it is very unfair to illegal role-players who are actively evading that spikes are able to be deployed and removed in a matter of seconds, therefore allowing cruisers to just continue at their regular speed. Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server?: Balances out game-play, fairness and realism. Additional information: N/A

Maybe you'd like to revise that earlier statement? This was taken from the city government portal on April 17th of 2019 - the only slot filled out was two weeks out of date. At the time, I'd been seeking an inspection since January for my own business. Is this a recipe for success? I don't know why you defend meaningless bureaucracy so vehemently, but it's not doing anyone any favors.

Short description: What the title says. Detailed description: Give the driving system a complete overhaul. Increased and realistic acceleration combined with a less autistic top speed (sportscars capped at 115 mph are painful to drive and non immersive). Commands to add: No commands. There are several mods available online which means it isn't an impossible task. Items to add: Realistic acceleration and top speed. How would your suggestion improve the server? It would certainly improve several rp aspects such as trucking, where vans wouldn't reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and it would also bring more realism to the car scene overall. Additional information:

I know that Sharvit left Fire Marshals and it's probably just in a difficult spot trying to find it's feet again. I can honestly say that every fire inspection I've had has been quick, painless and a lot of fun to RP. There should 100% be some leeway in terms of times and dates - possibly even allowing FM to access a property if you're not online to ensure it's up to code. Closing a business should be an ultimate last resort if the player refuses to cooperate. If they have showed some level of trying to do what's neccessary, then they shouldn't ever be closed IMO. When I was a Fire Marshal for a very brief stint, I know those guys put a lot of heart into that RP - so lets not just trash them because of some difficulties it may be facing right now. As I said, Sharvit stepping down from that position is a massive loss and filling those boots won't be easy.

Short description: Moving the advertisements from the chat into a menu which you can access via a command. Detailed description: Upon using the /ad(vert(isement)(s))(s) command (so /ad, /ads, advert, /adverts, /advertisement, /advertisements etc.), a menu will be brought up. It can either be a CEF menu (I believe they are called) or just a small, light, normal one. There's going to be four categories - All (all adverts), Private (for normal /ads), Business (for /bad) and Company (for /cad). This menu would also show in the X menu and in the I menu. Choosing either of these categories will show a live list of the adverts. 3 cool features that could be added An option inside the menu to use keywords and strings. A notification will be shown (like the SMS ones) whenever an advert containing your keyword or string will be placed (ex. "Kawaii", "House", "Out of Towners", "Hiring" etc.) An option to search through the ads based on specific keywords. (Optional) Whenever you post the ad, you could have the option of using a category (or none if you don't want to). We could have adverts divided between vehicles, properties, businesses, events, jobs, items etc. in the same place. The adverts would remain in the list until the person disconnects or removes them. Using /ad or /cad again (after 20, 15, 5 and 3 minutes as it is right now) will bump them to the top of the list. If the person posts a second advert, only the last one remains. It would not clutter the menu because everyone will either log off, crash, disconnect or delete their advert at some point. One way it could have been abused is if people were to post multiple versions of the same ad, thus populating the list with their ads only. This won't happen though, since only the last advert will appear on the list. I think this is pretty straight-forward and will go a long way towards helping people get in touch with one another without resorting to spamming /ad and hoping someone sees it on the spot. The chat would also be clean, the adverts neatly and simply organized and the menu easy to navigate. We'd also be able to get notifications whenever something an interest is advertised, thus not needing to check the list every X minutes and all in all, it'd be a great alternative to the very old system which we're currently using. Commands to add: CEF or normal menu for adverts containing the options described above. Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? It's literally what we have right now but moved out of the chat, thus reducing spam and clutter, making everything more immersive and easier to navigate. Additional information: Until it's properly and fully implemented and developed, there would be a way to switch between receiving the ads in your chat, the old way, or in the new way.

Dealt with you guys a little and you guys are doing great! Keep it up!

Gotta love how everyone missed 'realistic acceleration'. If it takes you 6 seconds to reach 60 mph then the top speed being around 150-160 is NOT gonna be an issue because you won't have the space to reach it in the first place. Learn to read before replying.
