  1. The Dice-Man This thread will be following the life of Other Car affiliate Derrick Tuy... (Image of Derrick Tuy from his Snapchat stories. January 17, 2015.) (Image of Derrick Tuy via TTCF records, January 16, 2017.) (Image of Derrick Tuy from a surveillance camera. February 13, 2022.) Beach Life Derrick Tuy "Dice-Man" is a Cambodian-American male born in Vespucci Beach. Since a child he's been involved with petty crime such as shoplifting and other forms of petty theft. He was always surrounded by bad influences as most of his friends were doing drugs and constantly getting in fights. As he grew into a teenager he started to get involved with the narcotics trade, along the way he met his closest friend Harold "Omen" Neang. (Image of Derrick Tuy and Harold Neang via Neang’s Facebrowser. June 5th, 2008) Armed Robbery On January 16th of 2017, Derrick Tuy was picked up for an armed robbery. He had planned with Harold Neang to rob an LTD out in Strawberry that they'd been passing by for a while. Due to the high rates of crime in the neighboring town Davis, they figured they would be able to get away with it since the cops would be distracted. When the day came, Harold was picked up on a narcotics charge. Tuy had no clue, but since he was in desperate need of the money he decided to hit the place himself. (CCTV footage of the robbery, Derrick Tuy is seen holding the cashier at gunpoint. January 15th, 2017.) Jailbird Derrick Tuy failed to successfully pull off the robbery alone, his vehicle was tracked down to his aunt's house where she ended up folding after a few questions. The charges started to stack up against Tuy, leading him to a 5 year sentence. Within his time in TTCF he got close with Mark Gantuya and Kevin Heoi, two heavyweights of the Other Car. He managed to impress the duo with his relentless attitude and perseverance. This attention landed him a life-long spot representing the Other Car on the streets. Present Day Derrick Tuy's released five years later, he reunites with Harold Neang to get more people involved with the crew. Will the duo manage to run a stable crew without landing back in the slammer for the long run? We'll find out together... (this pic goes hard, feel free to screenshot)

  2. A lot of people are fixated on money, obtaining money, and how much money others have obtained, but who does it impress? Because money is so easy to gained, In my experience your reputation and professional title (such as your job) carry a lot more weight. These are things that are harder and sometimes impossible to buy. So sure, Pariah might impress a person's friends, but a respected/renown person in a cheap car will turn more heads. My 2 cent.

  3. This is an issue of portrayal, not necessarily characters being wealthy in of itself. There's a distinct difference between a properly portrayed rich or wealthy character and one that has just grinded bartending, daily paychecks, and what-not in order to buy 8 nice cars from the dealership. Unfortunately, the poorly portrayed ones are always the loudest- they are the ones you will see doing doughnuts in Cheetahs, acting like children while driving around $550,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan equivalents (Adding the Jubilee to dealerships was a mistake), and living in massive penthouses while being twenty-five years old. RPQM can cull these cases, but a RPQM report can take anywhere from a month to six months and takes a lot of effort from quality management admins in order to monitor trouble characters. Adding taxes, punishing business owners by decreasing their profits, or anything else is more or less punishing the whole of everyone for the sins of the few. It would choke out a lot of people who legitimately do try to play their characters accurately. For instance: One of my characters has been one of those "wealthy" characters for a while now (Though I really don't like using the term, it's been tainted). She owns a holding company LLC that in turn has shares in multiple businesses and a subsidiary company below it to realistically avoid taxation (even though this is not a thing on World, it is done for portrayal because I'm playing a character who's a piece of shit and does stuff like that), this corporation is the entity that controls both of her businesses on paper, even though she technically controls those venues directly. This is a common method the rich use to avoid taxation through loopholes, and that doesn't even delve into C-Corporations and trust-funds. The Pariah-driving, green-haired, miniskirt-wearing twenty-somethings people are talking about in here have no idea what the hell any of that is, they just want to drive a cool car and feel cool for driving said cool car without actually putting the work into earning it. Everything needs to be earned through roleplay but the systems in place on the server allow individuals like those to circumvent roleplay and rely on that number in the top-right of their screen to direct their characters. Unfortunately, developed characters that run businesses also need that number in the top-right, and many of us that actually give a shit will pay our employees a lot and actually do have expenses- Components, mapping, leases, you name it. As of current, my character has $71,000 worth of monthly payments on leases alone for business vehicles and venues, and pays out $160,000 monthly to employees (4 employees @ $10,000/2 hr shift, with the venue opening 4 times a month.) This does not delve into component costs or a personal vehicle that's a special lease request. Imposing additional fees on everyone will impact those who actually roleplay around business and wealth the most, not those you're upset with.

  9. The jail script has been broken for like almost two years now. Currently when you get arrested you have to drop all of your items besides the phone and you dont get them back. The intended script is to take items and give them back upon release, which hasn't worked in a long time. People lose valuable items and stuff that they can't get back such as custom made stuff. It's really horrible. Please fix.

  10. Detailed Description As we stand the alarms on houses are (in my opinion) way too cheap and they never become faulty in any way. They range from $6000 to $9,500, that price should be increased along with a new script implemented. I feel as though a new script job could pave the way for a new avenue of roleplay, this script could be done a couple of different ways. 1. After a while of having your alarm installed (a timeframe decided by the developers/admins) they could become faulty (instead of notifying a cop in 1 minute or whatever it is, it would instead notify them in 3-4 minutes, increasing in time if gone unrepaired. or 2. After your property gets broken into and you are notified via /notifications that your alarm may need servicing/repairs. You would then have to call a 24/7 service hotline (much like the 912 mechanic number for car modifications) and would be contacted by a player that has the script job and/or is working for an electrical company. They would come and roleplay according before doing a cmd to repair it. Parts to make repairs would cost the electricians a certain amount of money and they could charge what they saw as reasonable to the customer getting the repair. (Maybe a maximum amount they could charge can be implemented) Relevant Commands/Items /alarmrepair /alarmstatus [Shows last service date or maybe let's you know if your due for a service] How will it benefit the server? It would create a new avenue of roleplay for the server along with a new script and new business ideas that people haven't really tapped into due to the lack of script and such. It is just an idea, if anyone would like to add or mention something that could be touched up by all means.
