  1. LSPD officers block off the scene of a shooting that left two men dead, believed to be a hit carried out by Mieszkowski enforcers against a rival distribution group. By 2021 most of Simon Mieszkowski’s associates had gone underground. Many headquartered their operations in Los Santos neighborhoods long associated with organized crime—most prominently, Hawick Avenue. That’s not to say, however, that Mieszkowski lacks control elsewhere in the city; there are, for example, reports of his lieutenants setting up shop in Morningwood and South Central. The sudden growth in the organization’s operational territory, along with the recent arrests of some of the group's known associates and business partners, leads detectives to believe that Mieszkowski's gang has evolved into a bonafide organized crime group. San Andreas State Police display firearms seized from a suspected Mieszkowski associate, likely collected from multiple out of state strawmen. Though law enforcement officials believe that Mieszkowski is still calling the shots, sightings of the man have decreased significantly. His second in command, Ernest Mosley, handles much of the organization's day to day business. Hoping to avoid arousing suspicion with interstate travel, Mieszkowski sent a delegate from his operation to Nevada in early January to reconnect with an out of state crew primarily comprised of old school OC figures. The trip was a success; in the spring, Sebastian Tamayo returned to Los Santos with Nevada's support. This ushered the group into a new era—one that would make or break them. It was undeniable, though, that they had established a solid foothold in the West Coast's organized crime scene. LSPD officers search a suspected stash house allegedly linked to the Mieszkowski organization. Anthony Rudnik and his pornographic enterprise, Naughty Saints, represent Mieszkowski and his upper echelon's chief money laundering scheme. Rudnik’s arrival from the East Coast and apparent reconciliation with Mieszkowski granted him access to the funds he needed for his venture into the highly lucrative sex industry. Rumors of Rudnik’s promotion are prevalent in federal law enforcement circles, though hard evidence is scant. Courtroom artist's rendering of Mieszkowski's long time defense attorney, Aleksandra Maksimović, representing him in a grand larceny case in which he was later acquitted. The private legal practice of Aleksandra Maksimović has been the go-to for many of Los Santos' underworld figures for years. A talented young criminal defense attorney and political fixer, Maksimović was an easy choice for Mieszkowski, who—like any recidivist—frequently found himself wanting for the services of a dedicated legal professional. Maksimović's track record in court, along with her own connections to the underworld figures in Los Santos, made her an easy pick. The young organization is poised for success. Some say that the group won't be able to maintain its momentum, while others still suggest that diverse organizations like Mieszkowski's represent the future of organized crime in America. Everybody agrees, however, that they're worth keeping an eye on. Leadership reserves the right to character kill any aspiring characters or those currently involved with the faction.

  2. This thread will follow the development of Rhett Kramer, the second youngest sibling of the Kramer Family, in his struggle to provide for his family just as much as his older brothers do, wanting to be seen as another man of the house rather than a boy. I have been roleplaying this character for a few months now. For screenshots of RP up to this point, you can check out: https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/61420-the-grapeseed-community/ For a summary:

  4. I'm not saying you should be here OOC pissing and shidden and crying when you're CK'd or busting veins and turning tomato over IC confrontations but I'm not too sure why people think it's cool to act so apathetic about feeling at least something while playing. You're on a roleplay server DUDE, you're using GTA as a slice-of-life RP server. If anything it's more cringe seeing people assume they're cooler than other players within the same community for not feeling anything because they're pretend gangsters and criminals. You've got moobs bro, humble yourself.

  6. Detailed Description So I'm currently in the SD and I've noticed this same issue when I was even in Holland Private Security, to even when I went to the Tanuki Bath House. They all have lockers although you cant actually put items inside of them. My suggestion would be to allow players to press Y at a locker, and have the ability to store their items inside, potentially by first purchasing a "padlock" at a 24/7. This would basically work just as the house storage system, and vehicle system. Relevant Commands/Items /plocker (put item in a locker) - /tlocker (take an item out of the locker) - /llock (Locker lock) - /lunlock (locker unlock) - /lbreakin (break into the lockers padlock with a lockpick that are currently closed/locked by a padlock) - Or pressing Y at a locker which would bring a drop down menu similar to choosing which apartment to enter when pressing Y at a complex, with a number of X lockers How will it benefit the server? I'd say it would be pretty useful for those that have personal firearms that they want to store when they go on duty, or for those like myself that don't own a house and don't want our pistols taken out of a hotel room because the inventories are "shared". Would be very useful when you go to a bath house as well and want to leave your firearm / phone etc inside of the locker before walking into a sauna / bath tub and having a pistol in your inventory. Just overall improves realism and allows players to actually interact with lockers that aren't operable.

  9. Los Santos Reliable Network - The information you need, when you don't need anything. Some shooting at some club BY SAMUEL SUNG Los Santos, SA - On 30th November 2021, the Los Santos Police Department had to intervene, after some shooting happened at some club. Some people were injured and some dead, in yet another of the many such incidents that surround the LS night life. Some picture of some place It was supposed to be a joyful evening of relaxation, it became a moment of pain and fear. Yesterday evening, some club was caught in some dispute, that led to some shooting. The culprits, who fled the scene mere minutes before the LSPD arrived, fought over some shit and decided to start a brawl over it. After words and punches were thrown, one of them decided to escalate and pull a firearm - one that he was of course not allowed to carry. According to the LSPD detectives, the alleged shooters are some guys who belong to some gang. Already involved in some shady shit, they had proven their propension for violence in a few similar occurrences, such as brawls at the Blue Lion MMA Gym. The owner of the club, some rich guy, mentioned that security was far from lacking - but that criminals can be hard to spot. They had only started the evening with sexist and homophobic remarks, which definitely isn't a giveaway, had some gang tags, which doesn't indicate any belonging to a gang, followed by attempting to not pay for their drinks, which was clearly not a bad sign. Following this incident, going to a club was escalated to the 3rd most dangerous activity in the United States, after licking power sockets and helicocktering in front of an MC clubhouse. It is indeed the 91st time some shooting happens at some club in San Andreas this week, many denizens of the state now deciding against going out to dance and preferring safer activities - such as chess, beetle fighting, or meth. We will make sure to keep you updated on the latest shooting as soon as the next one occurs - we're told the Zodiac is opening tonight, which should make it the 92nd shooting of the week. The Los Santos Reliable Network (LSRN) is a dubious network of suspicious people, providing you with the most less reliable information around. Our articles are should be taken as seriously as the LSFD lifeguards. Comment on FaceBrowser: https://face.gta.world/posts/193119 Comment on our website: > Comments are enabled Username: Comment:

  10. I'm going to re-iterate Utopia here, as a member of the medical roleplay community, which is famous for people trying to ignore it as much as possible, I just have to say, this is spot on. No one likes MVA's, not the cops, not the fire department, not the hospital those victims have to go to, and especially not the victims involved. When I was in the LSFD, out of the HUNDREDS of MVA calls I went to, I enjoyed two. TWO. The rest were longated boring experiences where I had to force someone to waste their precious time and it didn't even add to their character, say what you will about gunshot wounds and such. At least those are interesting, you got shot and are dying. Thats far more fun than getting slammed by a 110 mph car which would normally kill everyone involved, it completely fucks up the flow of everyone's roleplay. And no one, and I mean no one enjoys it. You might think you enjoy it to be a contrarian here, but you don't, not really. People don't get into car accidents on purpose unless to create a dramatic death for their character story, and even those on purpose crashes have the bare minimum of interesting roleplay. Even drunk drivers, actually, those don't exist on this server, disregard that. While exceptions exist, you need a pretty large group of exceptions to make car accidents a viable scene in roleplay. EDIT: But for the love of god people if you do have to roleplay a car accident, stop slamming your forehead into the fucking steering wheel, your cars, have airbags. Your cars, have airbags. The majority of car accidents do not lead to unconsciousness unless you have a serious brain bleed or you were decapitated. Stop going unconscious, stop slamming into car wheels.

  11. Hello everyone! Welcome to the December 2021 Staff Update, as we are now wrapping up the year! We hope everyone had a great start of the holidays throughout November, as we are coming towards the end of the year, as I know we are all ready to start a New Year! Throughout the month of November, specifically notably is how the community came together and donated nearly 10,000€ ($11,000) in support of the research of Cancer. As we all know, Cancer is a horrific disease that sadly takes the lives of millions of people every-year. Together as a community, we came together and surpassed any goal that we thought we would reach and be able to achieve. Cancer always needs more research and always can use new ways to fight against it. We thank you all an extreme amount for helping out with charity and we hope you all enjoy the new vehicles that have been placed in game for a specialty due to the fundraiser. You should all be proud of yourselves for being able to put differences aside and simply help out for a better cause. It shows the heart that you all have. Earlier within the month as-well, @Armolis was appointed as the Interim Head of Roleplay Quality Management with @LilManiac being appointed as the Interim Assistant Head of Roleplay Quality Management. While they are undergoing their training phases, they will be working closely with Management to have a better improvement to RPQM and to assure that the duo are receiving the correct training to lead the team into success as they have already been. Both Armolis and LilManiac look to make overall improvements to RPQM and how it operates. Both agree that transparency and keeping active communication with the community is something important and they look forward to keeping in conversation with those that bring up issues to RPQM, and to take that feedback and improve from it. From the start of November until the end, it has been packed with updates being pushed through by Nervous & The Development Team. They continue to work everyday on making sure that bugs are fixed, stability continues and that new features are continued to be pushed out to the community. In the start of the month we saw multiple updates regarding out weapon scrips our drug system, and the Economy Update that has brought an everlasting different experience towards the community both on the legal and illegal side. On the gambling side of things, Poker and Black Jack are both back and ready to be played! Thank you to all the players & Staff of GTA World that bring us together to be a community. We appreciate all of you for being here with us at GTA World. Specifically for Staff, thank you for the hard work and continued dedication & effort that you place into the community every day. While all the work you do voluntarily, you continue to strive and make sure the community is some of your first priorities. As a courtesy, between December 15th and January 15th, we are removing the housing activity requirements so those needed can take an extended leave of absence and not fear getting a property wiped! We hope everyone continues to have an amazing end of the year and a happy holidays. Make sure to spend time with family and friends as they are some of the most important people! When the holidays come around at the end of the year, we start to notice a true bond and connection that forms between people, as it's a symbol of Joyce no matter where you are from and what you might or might not celebrate. It's a symbol of people coming together to celebrate what we have together, and that is the joy of life, holidays, friendship, family, and of course, GTA World (😉). Next Staff Update will be a bit more of a "wrap-up" as it will come along on January 1st (spoiler), so we hope you all look forward for that! For last update of 2021, it only feels appropriate to do so and say; See you next year! GTA:World Management Team Admin Promotion Game Administrator Level 2 to Senior Administrator @Storm (Senior Legal Faction Management) Trial Administrator to Game Administrator Level 1 @Gore @Viscaria @Shagglehod @Orbit @Exodus Senior Support to Trial Administrator @Red. To avoid an influx of repeated questions, applications were not opened this month and due to a new internal system, they will be opening now every second month rather than month by month.

If you have questions unrelated to what was mentioned above please contact @KV or @Jonesy for assistance

  13. Well... I'd tend to agree with @GambloTwitch there. "Not feeling anything about anything" isn't the mark of a good roleplayer, just like not feeling anything while watching a movie isn't the mark of a good movie critic. Works of writing are supposed and designed to make us feel something. It can be a jolt of adrenaline and fun for a dumb fun action movie, or "them feels" for a heart wrenching deep movie with death and shit. RP isn't somehow different because you're the one who happens to play the character 😛 And to take the closest comparison possible, having done my fair share of theater, I can tell you the ABSOLUTE BEST actors are those who can really take in and feel their character's emotions, and also feed in their own. BUT... => While respecting the character. And in the end it's where I tend to agree with Gamblo here. A good RP'er isn't someone who's on weird pills preventing them from having any emotion about the scene. It's someone who can create an RP that engages them (emotionally or otherwise), but who remains true to the character. Like, I got in a situation a while ago where OOC'ly, I knew my char was walking into a trap and was gonna get CK'd. It was the end of a crazy cool and strong revenge scenario that lasted for months. Personally, I didn't want my dude to be executed on a parking lot 😛 I still went for it regardless. A story doesn't have to end "well" to be a good one. At the end of the day, the people who managed to kill him thought it was good RP all throughout, I also thought that. But they also had a wide range of emotions over it, so did I. I don't know about everyone else, but those are the scenes and stories I tend to remember ^^' The stuff that made me feel nothing, like tending a 24/7... well, honestly I can't remember most of it.
