Alright, so I'm honestly not shocked it's happening, but a thread to address it is better than nothing. What the hell's going on with the new fishing script and people loading onto speedboats to rob trawlers? Do we live on the coast of Somalia or the cape of Africa, or a major American city? I was under the impression we had a rule for this, and I suggest anyone who tries to roleplay a fisherman and is robbed by MASK_ to put in a report on it. I don't even want to take the presence of pirates IC, it makes no sense. - Driving into the county as a gang member in South Central to conduct a robbery in Paleto Bay for no sensible IC reason (e.g. your path has not realistically led you to Paleto Bay for any discernable reason, this would be a significant drive on an IC basis)

Too Long; Didn't Read Additions 80+ new species of fish have been added for you to catch and discover. You are now able to use a tugboat in order to fish through a net. Hourly hot-spots which have a higher chance for rarer fish. More selling spots around the state. Changes You can now fish anywhere with water (except from Los Santos). Removals The current fish will be uncatchable from now on. However, they should still be sellable. Author's Note It is no secret that the current fishing script is dated and not used by many. With the continuous input of certain community members as well as the staff team I have created a new fishing script which will be placed on the live server soon. I believe that it is a good stepping stone for an improvement in marine, as well as county, roleplay and through further feedback from anybody that tries it out it can be improved upon. As you may know; fishing could only be done in a few spots and the fish could be sold in fewer. With this update we are introducing a way for you to fish almost anywhere in the state. More selling spots have also been scattered across the state so you are not geographically locked. On top of that; if you feel like fishing with a rod is not the job for you, you can purchase a tug boat and use its net for bigger returns. However, make sure your papers and licenses are in order as the San Andreas Park Rangers will be out there patrolling and penalties may be issued! (Note: Rod fishing can be done on any boat.) Furthermore, I have received several complaints about the variety of the currently existing fish and how it doesn't make sense for them to exist within San Andreas. By consulting several wildlife websites; I have chosen a couple dozen fish that should realistically be native to San Andreas. Different fish can be found in different parts of the ocean so take your friends with you on a boat and explore! Fish prices change every single day so every single fish is worth keeping around. Command Overview /fish • Allows you to cast your rod, if you are in a suitable location. /stopfishing • If you are currently fishing, it will make you stop. You can also use /sa as an alternative. /castnet • If you are in the driver's seat of a tug, you will lower the nets to begin net fishing. /catch • If a fish is tugging on your rod, /catch will begin the minigame. /myfish • Displays the fish you have on your person and their prices. /sellfish • Displays a random selling location on the map. If you're on the location it will sell your fish. Fishing Methods By Rod: This is the traditional method that currently exists on the server. You type /fish and after a small delay, you have the ability to /catch and attempt to add another fish to your collection! What has changed is that now in order to successfuly capture the fish you have to play a small mini-game. The minigame is quite simple. The fish will move left to right inside the bar, all you have to do is press the SPACEBAR when it is inside the green part and you got the fish! By Tug: You are now able to cast a net while in the driver's seat of a tug boat. Type /castnet and you will receive a confirmation. You can now do whatever you like and after around six minutes you will receive a notification that the net is ready. All you have to do is re-enter the boat and type the same command! All the fish found will be deposited in the boat's inventory. There's no minigame here but after a few net casts, it'll prompt you to move the boat. Note: When you are fishing inside the upper part of the map you get better fish than being on the lower part. Hot-Spots In order to prevent people hiding far away into the sea away from the eyes of the Park Rangers, four hotspots have been designated which can be seen in the map below. Inside these spots you have higher chances of getting fish which sell for a lot more than normal! The spots rotate once an hour and once you enter the current hot-spot you will receive a chat message saying so. Map

Top Hat Society Business incubator. Political action organization. People of class and fashion. The Top Hat society is comprised of a series of business leaders who have common shared interests and goals. A group that is dedicated to their own empowerment in the legal world of business and communication. It's members come from a wide range of backgrounds from café owners to leaders of industry and interior designers. All members of the Top Hat society are not bound by a code of laws, or an omerta. Instead, they join only to gain access to the elite nature of it's people and it's associates. Whether you need an emergency bartender, a loan of 50,000, or maybe just a friendly ear to vent we will be a consistent factor in the elevation of your goals. The Top Hop society is interested in the the luxury aspects of high society, fashionable dress, and penthouse views. Members would rather enjoy a brandy and cigars then a beer in loud club. A game of poker over a game of dice. There is an aim to dress well, eat well, and live well in each others company and there is somewhat and emphasis of showing up as your best person. No, a top hat is not needed. No hat is needed, in fact. But a sense of fashion and respect for yourself is. Associate members can expect invitations to many fancy galas, high profile events, late night card games, and cigar sessions on the balcony. Members have access to the contact details of other members as well as access to association owned facilities and assets. To join the society, there is no fee or great lengthy application process. To become a member is to be invited by another member. After approval from us, you will be issued a card and added to our personal contact list where we will notify you upon our meetings. Members can upgrade their status to platinum for a nominal fee which comes with added perks. The association has a great interest in supporting politicians financially and promoting causes it believes will elevate itself and the people of the city. It functions partially as a campaign PAC and attempts to levy it's political influence through hard campaigning of all our respectful industries and dutiful financial support. Candidates who are supported by the association can expect business's to display campaign signs in their windows and host events in the name of said candidate. It is through this type of effort we aim to have an impact on the direction of the city. The association seeks to provide a platform of unity. For example, if a problem customer is causing problem in one store they may seek the assistance of other members to come to their aide, and vice versa, and in the event that a person causes problems in Tony's Bar he will find himself not welcome at Vanessa's Flower Shop either. We share in each others misery and pain sell as joy and profits. We act in unity, but we are not beholden to each other. Nothing is owed, but everything is given. OOC Information We seek to be in the grey area where many players fall. Not really a criminal or in a faction but not a police officer or a lawyer either. Roleplayers in the association do not give us CK perms or agree to only RP in our faction alone etc. We seek to be an open ended group with a clear focus on attracting and promoting unique character ideas, business concepts, and interesting dyamics. We aim to have a "family-esque" aspect to our members where we are not bound by a criminal blood bond or being in the same police unit but by business and shared common interests. At present, there isn't much that sort of fills that gap. You have to "settle in" to something whereas many people seek to remain unsettled. This group is for you and anyone else that wishes an alternative environment from just their criminal enterprise or legal law shindig. I would also like to eventually host some session based roleplay where we have sort of DND inspired events and influenced roleplay that everyone is participating in that has some interesting and compelling ideas that no one else is really doing. Such as fun and unique ideas like looking in the desert for lost artifacts or organizing a parade to celebrate Annual Muffin Day. Things that are not done but could be fun to roleplay and a different tempo from what is present now. At the end of the day, This will have that "people to RP with" aspect for those who sometimes don't have "people to RP with". Many people come to RP with me when I run my cafes and I see familiar faces who generally I don't believe have a posse or anything like that due to not being in a strict faction. I hope we can be the "not so serious" option for them. TL;DR - The faction for those who don't want to be in a faction and are not gangbanging or being a cop.

Short description: I think that fishing should be more profitable and here's why Detailed description: I think that fishing should be more profitable and here's why: I have spent about 300k on this Tug boat and on a Mule in hopes to make fine profit from the new fishing system and manage to get some company going from that, but I had to test it out first and see what it's really capable of. So I got about 112k weight of fishes, 100k on the boat and like 12k on me and I went off to sell it, it took me quite some time to get it (a few hours) and at the end I got only like 11k from it. Which in my opinion it's a total joke, why would a person want to spend 300k on vehicles and stuff that would barely make him any money while he can make just as much without spending anything and working behind a counter making 4k per paycheck (its about the same time invested) In my vision for this fishing company, I envisioned more than 1 person being on the boat, having like some sort of crew, having labor workers who would take down the fishes from the boat and load them into the truck, people who would do deliveries etc... And to be frank, with 11k for all this time invested, I can barely hire 1 person with me and still feel like I'm making any profit, it is solely a job for RP means only and not for making profit as for right now, which I don't really mind but still, I don't find it balanced and fair enough. In addition to all that I'd also like to add the possibility of getting robbed in the process, imagine you are sailing this slow arse boat, you got nowhere to go, you can't afford security because you're barely making any money yourself so how can you think about a crew that'd defend you... And people coming in with other speed boats and robbing your earnings, after hours of work and time invested. Commands to add: N/A Items to add: N/A How would your suggestion improve the server? It'd balance out the economy more, and make things a little more reasonable, interesting and fair. Additional information: Add a panic button for the tug boats against robbers, that button should send an alert within certain radius to the next local antennas and give a signal for helicopters/officers on boats if there are any available.

Matthew CusanoMatthew Cusano was born on April 16, 1972 in Chicago, Illinois. Cusano's younger brother, Theodore, was born in 1979. He grew up in Elmwood Park, a working-class Italian American enclave in Cook County, Illinois. Cusano's father, Richard, provided for his family through working as an elevator mechanic. Although his father was never involved with any crime, he provided the Chicago Outfit with union bribes for over 20 years. Cusano's mother, Gloria, was originally from Clifton, NJ and came to Chicago with her family in the 1950s. Many of Cusano's relatives on both sides are involved with La Cosa Nostra in the American Midwest and Northeast. These connections were primarily formed from inter-marriage between mobsters and their wives, from different crime families. Early lifeCusano was raised in Elmwood Park by his family while being criminally active as a teenager. While attending Elmwood Park High School, he sold marijuana and burglarized cars around his school grounds for their stereos. In 1987, he was expelled from high school for juvenile delinquency that involved a police investigation. The same year, he was sentenced to 10 months of juvenile detention for selling marijuana and burglary. Due to overcrowding and good behavior, his sentence was slashed to 5 months and he was released in February 1988. Following his release, he never returned to high school and instead entered the workforce. For several years, Cusano worked several jobs in Chicago proper at supermarkets, stores, restaurants and warehouses. Eventually, he worked at automotive repair garages but was never selected for an apprenticeship. Cusano became involved with the Chicago Outfit in the early 1990s. This came after his paternal uncles, noticing his struggles with dead-end employment, offered him a more lucrative alternative. In 1993, Cusano was brought into the Elmwood Park Crew and worked for the late Caporegime John Cesani. The same year, he married his high school sweetheart, Renee Riccobene. The two have a daughter, Suzanne Cusano, who was born in 2002. In 1999, while Cusano was serving a 2 year sentence in the Danville Correctional Center for aggravated battery, his younger brother Theodore died in Los Santos, SA. Theodore was attending the University of San Andreas - Los Santos when he died. Theodore's death happened after a fraternity student intentionally spiked his drink with a lethal dosage of an unknown drug. His death was classified as a homicide and the case has since gone cold, remaining unsolved for over 20 years.Involvement with La Cosa NostraDuring the 1990s, Cusano was an associate of the Chicago Outfit for several years. He was brought into the fold by two of his uncles, Dennis and Philip, both of whom are now incarcerated in federal prisons. Cusano worked as an enforcer and debt collector, while also supervising drug deals around Chicago's numerous suburbs. From 1998 - 2000, Cusano was incarcerated at the Stateville Correctional Center for aggravated battery. His conviction came after he attacked a deli market manager in neighboring Belmont Central for failing to pay protection money. This beating was allegedly ordered by The Outfit Consigliere, Frank Sacora, though this was never proven in the state criminal court. Cusano was inducted into the Chicago Outfit as a made man in the early 2000s, following his release from state prison. In 2002, shortly after his daughter Suzanne was born in Chicago, he moved to Las Vegas, NV with his wife Renee. His family resided in North Las Vegas while he continued mob-sanctioned criminal work in the city. Cusano worked under an elderly Caporegime, John Ravena, who was in his 70s and treated the Las Vegas operation as his "retirement crew". Accompanying him in Las Vegas was an old high school friend, Charles DePippo, who had still yet to become a made man. Cusano criminally operated along the Las Vegas Strip, involved with illegal gambling and employment fraud. By this point, Cusano hadn't had a legitimate job for over 10 years and entirely sourced his income from Mafia criminality.While in Las Vegas, Cusano reportedly searched for his younger brother's killer around Nevada and San Andreas. Using his Mafia ties and private investigators, he narrowed the search down to 26 year old Edgar Morales, a former collegiate athlete and known drug dealer who attended the University of San Andreas - Los Santos. Morales died in 2004 when a car he was driving plunged into a ravine in the Hollywood Hills. The single eye witness claimed that Morales was pursued up and down a boulevard until an aggressive driver forced him off of the road, where he died after an 80 foot fall. The eye witness report was never confirmed through video footage. In 2009, the FBI investigated Cusano's involvement in Morales's supposedly accidental death, but were unable to prove any involvement.Incarceration and failing Chicago Outfit tiesThe FBI started an investigation into Matthew Cusano's Mafia activities in 2002, the same year he arrived in Las Vegas, NV. This investigation resulted in numerous indictments against Cusano from 2004 - 2005, ending with his incarceration in United States Penitentiary Leavenworth for 10 years. Cusano served 10 years of federal prison, during which he earned his GED and obtained a Journeyman qualification in carpentry. He spent 8 years of his sentence working in Leavenworth's prisoner-operated woodshop, where he made furniture for federal government facilities around the American Midwest. Cusano's contacts with the Chicago Outfit gradually faded over the years, and by the end of his sentence, was shelved by the crime family. Cusano returned to Las Vegas after his federal prison release and continued working with Charles DePippo. Criminal life was radically different for Cusano however, as he was basically shunned by the Chicago Outfit and left with no support. Cusano and DePippo's Mob contacts had all dried up and their former Caporegime, John Ravena, had died from old age in 2013. Furthermore, Cusano's wife Renee divorced him while he was still incarcerated. Aside from child support payments, Renee has placed Cusano under a No Contact Order, and Cusano hasn't personally spoken with his daughter Suzanne in almost 10 years. Regardless of these adverse factors, Cusano and DePippo furthered their old rackets around the Las Vegas Strip. But competition from non-LCN groups, such as the Russian Mafia and outlaw biker gangs, forced them out of the scene. Arrival in Los Santos, SACusano came to Los Santos, SA in 2021 while under renewed FBI surveillance in Las Vegas. The FBI suspected that DePippo was forming a crew of other washed up mobsters who felt entitled to their old criminal rackets. However, this theory fell apart when DePippo, Cusano and a few of their other old partners left Las Vegas. The FBI later lost interest when their investigation went nowhere, and when their resources were stretched too thinly between Las Vegas and Los Santos. Cusano currently resides in Los Santos, SA and it is strongly suspected that he has rebooted his criminality under the guise of legal business ventures.

Democratic Senators Valeria Reyes and Edward Ulf walked out of a hearing, refusing to discuss the Domestic Violence Act of 2021? BY SIMON CAHILL Los Santos, SA - On 10th October 2021, the Public Safety Committee of the San Andreas Senate held a hearing at the San Andreas State Capitol in Alta, regarding S.B. 62 - Parking Definitions Act of 2021. Republican Senator Rudy Benson was chairing the hearing, Secretary of State Guillermo Perez was in the audience. Senator Rudy Benson (Source: Facebrowser) The hearing started with Republican Senator Adrian Rossi presenting his bill with an opening speech. "My dear spectators, constituents, and my fellow colleagues. Today we hear the Parking Definitions Act of 2021, which expands upon the Penal Code's gray areas, as well as its undefined aspects related to parking. Parking is an every-day activity of ours. It's crucial we push this bill past the committee for full Senate consideration. It also repairs the broken system of property owners being able to determine public parking spaces outside of businesses, which can lead to favoritism and discrimination. All in all, this bill seeks to complete what the Penal Code has either missing or briefly skims over. Thank you", said Mr. Rossi. Afterwards, Democratic Senator Valeria Reyes requested to speak, after which she started with the question: "Does Senator Rossi consider us above the law?", asked Ms. Reyes. "Senator Reyes, no one is above the law", responded Mr. Rossi. At that point, it seemed like the hearing turned to a tense atmosphere. "Then may I ask my colleague why vehicles that are SA EXEMPT, such as some of the vehicles we use, may park illegally?", continued Ms. Reyes. "The floor is now open for additional comments from the floo-- Senator Reyes. Please keep this civil, that is all I will say at this time. You will get one additional minute, please continue", said Chairman Benson. "I never yielded my time Mister Chairman, I said I had a few questions for my colleague. If Senator Rossi could answer my second question, I'll be able to continue", responded Ms. Reyes. Afterwards, the two Senators continued discussing the bill. After the discussion concluded, Mr. Benson announced recess so the Senators would have time to read over SB 68 - Domestic Violence Act of 2021 and discuss it. However, during the recess, LSNN sources state that allegedly, there was a dispute between Democratic Senators Valeria Reyes and Edward Ulf versus five Republican Senators. On the other hand, Democratic Senator Gabriella Beltran wanted to stay and discuss the Act, together with the Republicans. "It seems solid. I am on board", said Ms. Beltran. Furthermore, LSNN sources (two participants of the hearing) sent over a written transcript from the recorded conversation during recess, allegedly. The alleged transcript (email) Mr. Benson and Mr. Ulf published reactions on Facebrowser too. "Disgusted that Democratic Senators Reyes & Ulf walked out of a bill that would hold criminals responsible for domestic violence. Just shows how little they care about the citizens of San Andreas", wrote Mr. Benson as a Facebrowser status. "Seeing accusations about a hearing that we walked out. Funny how republicans cry about us not caring about women when they wont even allow abortions in this state. Then they accuse us of being socialists and whatnot while they live in multi million dollar homes riding expensive cars. Hypocritical", wrote Mr. Ulf as a Facebrowser status. Update: LSNN reached out to Senator Valeria Reyes for a statement. "Senate rules of 7.1.5.3 state the following - A public notice of a committee hearing should be given at least twenty four (24) hours in advance of the committee’s hearing. The domestic violence was unannounced and not scheduled for the committee hearing that took place. Nor were we given a 24 hour notice for the hearing. Furthermore, the bill was proposed only a few hours before the hearing. None of our Senators were given time to read, study and discuss the bill as we usually do. Therefore I asked to be given at least 24 hours to read the bill, in accordance with the rules. My request was denied and the rules were blatantly broken, while heavy personal insults were also thrown at us by Senator Munoz. The purpose of a committee hearing is to discuss and debate about a bill. I am unfortunately unable to do that when I am not given time to research the bill, and look for ways to improve it if needed or look for flaws within the content. It is needless to say that I am obviously against domestic violence, but along with time restrictions this is the reason why I did not partake in the hearing", said Ms. Reyes for LSNN. LSNN has reached out to Senator Edward Ulf for a statement too. Once we receive a statement, we will include it in this article. > Comments are enabled Username: Comment:

Username: user20567 Comment: how does a professional news agency see a video like this that people would be interested in and not think "hmm, lets try to figure out what happened by using our professional contacts and the appropriate avenues of investigation, and then report on this story with the cold hard facts surrounding this video, and also maybe with some opinions or eyewitness accounts from people who were there, or otherwise have an opinion worth publishing." instead of doing any of that, these retards just post a video that clearly came from an official source at some point without any of the official documentation and included as much information about the video as can be gleaned just by fucking watching it (conveniently leaving out the part where you can clearly see that stupid bitch also had a fucking gun.) and you called the landline phone of the local police station like "hey what happened?" don't you fucking idiots have a better way to learn this stuff? what the hell is up with the journalists in this city. it's like they've never read a news article in their life. guess i better just wait to hear from NBC or CNN or something about what actually fucking happened because these dipshits at LSNN can't even conclude anything without saying "allegedly." you guys need a new editor or something holy shit. i read the news to be informed, not to learn the same fucking shit i can learn just by scrolling around on youtube

Thank you Mama Hughes 😎

It was a very fun run, but unfortunately we are calling it quits. Administrative bias, along with poor and ineffectual leadership in The White Car has demotivated many of us. This server is not fun to play on when IFM blatantly favor their own factions. The White Car is not fun to rp within when the leadership is inactive and unwilling to bring in other leadership. When the leader of the White Car legitametly belives they can NPC RPGs to win wars and can cover Mount Chilliad in an open air weed field, there is no amount of reason that can be talked into them. Unfortunately we have been denied the opportunity by IFM to do anything about it in any reasonable amount of time. For those reasons we no longer find it fun to keep rping in an environment where we are not given what we have earned and worked towards. Other than that I wish nothing but love. If a member of FAIM wishes to take the thread from here I welcome them to do so. I hope others can find some fun in this community. Free Shmoe.
