  1. Right now, it is unfair for a player to buy the whole package just to get /bad enabled. I think this should be added as a separate option just like we can buy name change, number change, etc. It can be of 30-50WP a month.

  4. It's a bad decision. I can understand the time of day justification for the sake of time zones. However, ignoring the fact that some areas should objectively be populated and allowing unrealistic criminal behavior in those areas? It's bowing down to bad criminal roleplayers. Note I didn't say criminal roleplayers. Does crime happen in populated areas in RL? Sure. However, for the people excusing this by saying that criminals are sloppy and take risks, that is precisely the problem. These criminals in-game aren't taking risks proportional to what the risk would be in RL. There are no witnesses, there are no cameras that realistically would be there. They are taking advantage of OOC reality and ignoring that IC reality should be, and thereby ruining any sort of realism. That's not heavy RP. That's light cops and robbers roleplay, and completely shatters any attempt at realism and portrayal. The outcome is bad portrayal for criminals, which in turn encourages bad portrayal for legal RPers. The next time someone whines about PF warriors, well... LOL?

  5. Well boys, been a roller-coaster as a faction leader but all good things must come to an end, and this is it for our faction! We thank everyone who roleplayed around us and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours and where the road leads them. The MC scene is way to toxic for us to continue and its one of the reasons I've decided to end it here, it's been a pleasure interacting with all sorts of factions and If we unarchive, we'll hope to see familiar faces. I'd like to give a shout out to all those who started the faction with me, and to those who I ended up archiving it with, you guys are gems and I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world. Anyhows, into the archives we go! Happy trails, sage

  6. Short description: Add the /anchor to the Dodo Seaplane Detailed description: When going island hopping or landing near a beach with the Dodo, it would be great if we could /anchor it so it doesn't drift off. Commands to add: /anchor to Seaplane. Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? Improves the flying roleplay so you can actually have a plane spawned at a beach without worrying that it drifts off. Additional information: N/A

  7. Short description: Title. Detailed description: Rename all existing firearms on the server to their appropriate real world counterparts, whilst also changing the bullet casings fired by the renamed firearms to the casings they drop in real life. For example, the 'Pistol' would be renamed to 'Beretta 92' and it's shell casings would be made as 9mm. Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? Consistency is an important part of the server and realism is always strived to be aimed for, but in regards to firearms; their names are left as what they appear as in the base game of GTA 5, despite the fact pretty much all of them can be identified as guns that exist in real life. This wouldn't have been a particularly major issue, but the introduction of bullet casings that're frequently inconsistent with the firearm type (like a revolver dropping 9mm rounds) along with guns that have real-world names such as the Glock and the Makarov being introduced to the server; why should all of the existing firearms on the server still remain as being named 'Combat Pistol' and 'SMG' despite their visual looks clearly being identifiable as real-world firearms? Not only would there be more realism & consistency server-wide provided through guns being named as their real world counterparts whilst dropping their appropriate shell casings, you would also stop people from roleplaying certain firearms on the server as something rare & obscure under the guise of "It's called X so I can RP it as anything within that category." despite their in-game model clearly being identifiable as a firearm from real life. If Glock's and Makarov's exist on the server, all firearms with generic GTA 5 titles should be given their real world names too. Additional information: N/A

  12. Naeem Gresham https://face.gta.world/greatshaman Story so far (pre-context): Naeem Gresham grew up around the Brouge-born gang community with the pre-determined fate; following his peers into the gang life. He moved in to his grandparents house at the age of four after his parents lost custody of him due to lack of care and poor housing conditions, this move across the city at such a young age desensitized Naeem to the trials and tribulations of a penniless lifestyle. While his grandparents generally supported Naeem in his endeavours, the influence of the older gang affiliates on Brouge and Carson would push him to strive for admiration and approval. The older peers in his neighborhood and his lesser-minded friends pushed Naeem into the gang life; going so far as to encourage him to commit crime, in which he ended up in court-ordered Home Confinement for petty charges. Eventually being granted with a release from his Home Confinement, Naeem didn't take long to get back to his usual antics, the lust for money and the pursuit of respect in his neighborhood would make for enough excuses to act up in Naeem's eyes. Friends would describe Naeem as high-spirited, naturally unsophisticated & openly larger than life.

  13. No sane criminal would, realistically, hop off a bike in the middle of Santa Monica pier and hold someone at gunpoint to rob them. People aren't scared to walk around in the equivalent areas in RL, because this isn't not something that happens. Are there occasional shootings and so on? Yes, usually spur of the moment violence or planned hits designed to deliver a message. Realistically? Guns out to rob someone in the middle of downtown, in the open, or in a busy tourist area in Los Angeles would be non-fear RP. In-game? People are scared to walk around in these areas. That's unrealistic. Period. And it's caused by bad portrayal by criminal roleplayers, which this decision encourages. It means that not only rule-breakers will commit these crimes, but just about anyone. After all, admins sanction it so it's no longer considered bad portrayal. The issue isn't one of winning and losing. The issue is development. You can't expect people to RP as if they're regular citizens of fake Los Angeles, when actually, they've been robbed at gunpoint three times in one month, continuously trip over corpses, and can't feel safe anywhere in the city because it's a complete free-for-all. If we are to take the population IC, we have to take the crime rate IC too, and that's the logical outcome. I assume people who gun down criminals roleplay feeling bad about it, and the heavy psychological weight, etc. However, if we are going to justify criminal behavior by pointing at rare, extreme cases, so can non-criminals who use their guns to defend themselves. All kinds of crazy nonsense happens in RL, we might as well throw the fear RP rules out the window. This isn't a criminal vs. legal RPer thing. This is a bad script-motivated criminal vs. everyone thing. It's about realistic portrayal of a city that's supposedly based on Los Angeles.

  14. I still think a reasonable trade off is a ShotSpotter (Google it) type automated 911 for gunfire. Obviously only in certain areas.
