  1. Silent Ones Motorcycle Club were given 1 strike (2 months) in January for promoting up the ranks too fast and showing OOC bias towards players who had previously been affiliated with the faction. In the recent judgement call made by Shanks as a conclusion of the war that involved multiple other factions, they were given 2 further strikes for their leadership and many members of their faction being involved in rule breaks. As per those 2 strikes they have hit the 3 strike threshold held for Official Factions and will be closed by Illegal Faction Management for failing to meet the standards of what is expected of Official Factions. Characters involved with this concept will need to cease portrayal of Silent Ones and they will have to roleplay that their chapter was closed, they may resume roleplay on the characters however not continue to fly under the Silent Ones banner or represent them. This concept will not be allowed to be continued or reopened. All properties or perks given by Illegal Faction Management will also be revoked in 48 hours so that players have the chance to take their things back before they're returned. Leadership will not be allowed to pursue leading another illegal concept due to this shut down, we understand that not all members were involved in this situation and if other members with to attempt to pursue leading a new concept they may submit one.

  4. if punishments would be harsher, reports will be less. im not sure if most realize that most that are getting reported are usually the same players. exception being on trolls that somehow make it past the server application. honestly with the new gtaw lc becoming medium rp similar to how NG:RP on samp was I genuinely don't see any excuse as to why punishments wouldn't become harsher and roleplay stricter. this means that you acknowledge the rules upon joining the server and no staff should be wasting their time trying to explain something that you agreed upon. all these factors weight in when you are dealing with a report i.e you sit 30 mins dealing with a report then another one comes in and another one and another one all of them being the exact same X breaks rule, Y admin arrives and demands evidence, XYZ is being explained, RP is stalled for who knows how long. its almost like a secondary job which nobody wants to waste the free time they have dealing with the same obnoxious situations (just imagine doing it for years). it's hard to understand as a normal player and it makes sense why these threads often pop up.

  7. Website: https://gtaw.link/RoyalRebelCasino - Facebrowser: https://face.gta.world/pages/RoyalRebel Street Takeovers: The Growing Trend in Los Santos Written by Gabriel Stone - 27th February 2023 ((PLEASE NOTE: All plates and faces for this article are blurred out/removed on photos and videos, regardless of whether I've done that oocly)) https://streamable.com/3s7vhe What are street takeovers, AKA sideshows? Street takeovers, also known as sideshows, generally involve "flash mobs" of large numbers of spectators. Any number of cars may turn up to a takeover, from several to larger multitudes. Takeovers are coordinated, often via social media, and aim to block intersections or interstates in order to showcase stunts and maneuvers.Sometimes these events are framed as 'car meets' as a means to gather prior to the takeover, then progress into a takeover at a chosen location. These events often end in large police chases when law enforcement comes to break them up, resulting in large numbers of speeding cars fleeing the scene. Drivers typically cover their faces with masks of all kinds to protect their identities. What are the dangers of a street takeover? 1 - Being hit by a car Above: A young man was hit by a car while spectating, drivers stopped to check on him. Walked away with only bruising. Warning! Some viewers may find this video disturbing. It shows people being run over. https://streamable.com/0ibj9t ((All faces and plates would be blurred)) There's a reason one of the organizing street takeover groups is called "Get Back or Get Smacked". There's a real danger at these events that you will be hit by a car. The vehicles involved typically spin in the center of an intersection but spectators and photographers often risk getting closer to the action for the thrill, or for better shots of the vehicles and drivers themselves. This can go wrong as moving vehicles can be unpredictable, resulting sometimes in individuals being run over as seen in the image and footage above. This has happened at LS takeovers and is considered a risk of getting too close. One driver that wrote to us said, when asked if they felt if takeovers were dangerous "For sure, but for the most part it's safe or everyone in the area is fully welcoming the possibility of being smacked with a car." Though others did not believe it was dangerous at all, stating "No, 9/10 everyone at a meet go there as a car enthusiast or fan of cars; these aren't the type of people who don't know how to properly drive or have malicious intent." Some drivers that attend the events tend to be of the opinion that it's the minority of trouble makers at their events that give them a bad name. 2 - Being Shot A passenger showing off his gun to the camera https://streamable.com/hlot9j ((All faces and plates would be blurred)) Warning! Some viewers may find this video disturbing as it shows a man being shot dead. https://streamable.com/u8no5z ((All faces, plates and dead bodies would be blurred)) Adrenaline is high at these events and guns seem to be used mainly as photo props, but sometimes this evolves into something more as shown by the video above. At a more recent Vespucci takeover, one man was shot dead for unknown reasons by a group of individuals attending. Following this meet four more individuals were shot dead at an after-party featuring many of the same people. This isn't the first instance of shootings at takeovers, either. Another car meet occurred in Del Perro parking lot prior to what was meant to become another takeover. Two individuals showed up in a car and shot a man directly in the head multiple times before speeding away. The car enthusiasts present fired back and the attacker was later spotted being arrested at gunpoint by the LSSD. While the latter individual likely wasn't a part of the car meet itself, It seems that these events may attract the wrong sort of attention. 3 - Car Crashes A vehicle crashing into other cars at a Vespucci Beach takeover. Warning! Be advised a body is visible in the background. Video One: https://streamable.com/tufksy Video Two: https://streamable.com/d2plto ((All faces, plates and dead bodies would be blurred)) Generally at these events the vehicles aren't meant to touch. The usual form is to circle around the middle of the intersection in formation and show off stunts, though this always runs the risk of collisions. Collisions at these events tend to be accidental, however some overzealous attendees sometimes attempt to turn the takeover into a demolition derby by repeatedly slamming into other vehicles on purpose. One individual (shown above) drove at full speed into other vehicles and almost caused himself and another vehicle to slam into a spectating motorcyclist (see above video). 4 - LEO Interaction Above: Individuals climbing on cruisers and jumping off. Video shows a man attacking a cruiser: https://streamable.com/eyjbuu The resentment towards law enforcement at these events is more than apparent. When arriving on scene to a takeover in Little Seoul, law enforcement was met with attacks from spectators. One man was seen kicking and hitting a cruiser while others climbed onto the hood and roof of the cruiser before leaping off. Tensions are high between the public and law enforcement at these events and often a large and dangerous car chase occurs when police or deputies arrive, creating a stampede of multiple escaping vehicles and a considerable risk to pedestrians. There's also a risk of being swept up in the LEO response even if you yourself were merely spectating. One write-in claimed "I went to one and the cops came to break it up. I fell off my bike and they arrested me on the spot without good cause and I ended up doing 5 months in jail because I was carrying somebody's drugs. By the way, I'm 16. 10 n***as in cars breaking shit up n they arrest me F**K the LSPD" One driver that didn't consider these incidents dangerous enough to warrant mentioning stated "Of all the dangerous s**t that people get away with in LS why would something like a takeover be looked down upon? Dumb question. It's safer than simply walking the streets" while another said that he took part in these events because he had nowhere else to enjoy his vehicle. How does the general public feel about takeovers? The car enthusiast community has expressed concerns on numerous occasions in regards to these events. One individual wrote to us claiming that street takeovers "...create a negative stigma about car communities and people who host genuine car meets. I don't like them and think everyone taking part should get their tires slashed" This is an opinion shared by many enthusiasts that don't want to be associated with the takeover community, one article by Motorious.com states that "real enthusiasts don’t participate in street takeovers and we’re tired of the way media outlets, politicians, and others portray it as a problem attached to the hobby. True car enthusiasts have a healthy understanding and respect for the potentially destructive nature of their vehicle. We take precautions, which is why every track will inspect a vehicle for proper safety equipment before giving the OK to race." Another member of the public that had heard gunshots at one takeover said that takeovers are "unsafe. There was plenty of times gunshots were heard, they destroy the streets WE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR, and honestly? They should be put in jail. All us law abiding citizens are required to drive accordingly, they are no different - go race legally and stop making me fear for my child's life." Others expressed concerns that emergency services might be prevented from reaching their destinations or slowed down by the road blockages. Some of the public resent these events, enough to call for stricter punishments for participants. One write-in had very strong words "a bunch of morons that think that them driving around in circles and impeding traffic is fun and cool. Grow the f**k up, you're not a toddler anymore playing with Hot Wheels. Go get a job. Ironically enough, some of the morons that do this shit work governmental jobs, mostly being lifeguards. A bunch of braindead individuals hire them to those jobs and fund this sort of activity. They should be arrested and have their cars turned into metal scrap by police. No, I am not a boomer." There's a clear the draw and spectacle to a street takeover, and having each event provides ample thrills, excitement and photo opportunities. However it appears the general consensus from the public is that these events are too dangerous. While there may be many responsible skilled drivers involved, there is no vetting process, no inspection and no regulation to such events meaning that they have the potential to get out of hand. Perhaps if a legal venue were available for thrill seeking enthusiasts, these events would be less commonplace. Lieutenant Governor Wade discusses the possible introduction of such a venue in the interview below. A Statement From Lieutenant Governor Noah Wade While investigating, Los Santos Insider received a statement from newly appointed Lieutenant Governor Noah Wade regarding street takeovers. While he feels that takeovers are dangerous and need to be stopped, he also suggested that he may look into a legal solution to a venue for car enthusiasts to showcase their vehicles. "There is no excuse for such behavior. It endangers the lives of everyone involved, including participants, innocent bystanders, and law enforcement officers attempting to control the situation. Not only do these pose a significant risk of injury or death, they also cause property damage, noise pollution, and disrupt the peace and tranquillity of of the communities where they occur. These street takeovers attract a certain type of individual who flaunts their disregard for the law and common decency. These so-called "street racers" are often involved in various criminal activities. This kind of behavior not only creates a negative image of the car culture, tainting the reputation of car enthusiasts, but they also waste police resources. Those who participate in these takeovers may view them as a form of harmless fun, but the reality is that they put themselves and others in grave danger. These events have resulted in numerous injuries and fatalities, including innocent bystanders who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is irresponsible and reprehensible to engage in such behavior, and those who do should be held accountable for their actions. My administration is dedicated to providing solutions to these issues through our 'Racers Beware, Prepare' campaign. We are currently looking into possibilities around the introduction of crushing these vehicles used in the commission of crimes if they're a repeat offender. Seeing your beloved machine get crushed in front of you will make you think twice in the future, and it will deter others too. I urge the police department to keep a map, pinpointing the precise location of potential takeovers based on historical data. That can then be used to draw logical predictions as to where else these could occur. Lastly, I'm open to the idea of investing in infrastructure to provide a legal and safe venue for genuine car enthusiasts to showcase their vehicles. Street takeovers are a serious problem that require action to crack down on. By taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach, we can work to prevent these dangerous events from occurring and ensure the safety and well-being of our communities." An Interview with Lieutenant Geisler and Sergeant Ciszek of LSSD Regarding Takeovers: I was invited to speak with Lieutenant Geisler and Sergeant Ciszek from Davis Sheriff's Department to speak to them about their response to takeovers so far. They gave some insight into how takeovers are handled by their station specifically, as well as the dangers present at takeovers. Stone: So I assume law enforcement is quite aware of the current influx of street takeovers. Is there any active response to this in place currently? Is anyone investigating it? Ciszek: Yeah of course. Law enforcement's actively tracking these takeovers and identifying the main culprits behind it. Ciszek: Davis Station, specifically, has a procedure on how to combat and approach these street takeovers. Unfortunately, I can't speak on our other stations. East LS, for example? They do it differently. Stone: So how does your station handle a street takeover? I've seen a response before and it's quite a mad fray when everyone scatters. Ciszek: We utilize what we have. If we have an airship up in the sky? We'll use them and give our pilot commands. It's real loud at those takeovers. Modified exhausts, burnouts. Stone: Do you consider these street takeovers dangerous? Ciszek: Yeah, one hundred percent. Takeovers gather a large crowd, and they stand real close. If someone swings it and they lose it? They could face some serious charges. Stone: Absolutely. And why do you think these takeovers occur? There seems to be a lot of resentment for law enforcement present at them. Ciszek: It's really just those individuals that try and ruin the car scene and the car community. They try and get a rush out of it. It feels good to them to takeover intersections and cause chaos. They want law enforcement to approach with their lights and sirens, going in hot. Gives them attention and satisfaction. Stone: Have you ever seen it escalate beyond a takeover to something more? Or do you think there is a potential for takeovers to escalate? Ciszek: Takeovers can always escalate. Can escalate to someone getting seriously hurt, or even getting killed by a vehicle. Have we seen something like that yet? No and God forbid something like that happens, it won't be good. Stone: So have arrests been made in connection with these takeovers? Ciszek: As of right now? There have been no arrests made, at least from Davis Station. Our West Vinewood and East LS station have made sum arrests, from what I've been told when digging into this whole street takeover situation. Geisler: Right. Other stations might've had differentiating results. ELS, Carson, Cypress. Stone: I see. Thank you.
