  1. TV System OVERVIEW The TV feature has always been one of the most requested features on the server and thankfully it was made possible recently by a RageMP update that allowed 3D CEF streaming. We have taken this feature and developed it into a realistic TV system so that you and your roleplay friends can watch your favorite shows, videos, and movies in-game effortlessly and without the need for a second monitor. USAGE To use the TV system, simply walk up to a TV and use the interaction menu (or /tv if you prefer) to bring up the TV menu. This will ask you to input a watch2gether link and will only need to be done once per TV session. You need to have a key to the property (or be an employee of its business) in order to do this. Once you paste the link in, you will be able to control the TV using /tvr or /tvremote. TV REMOTE You do not need to leave the game or keep the watch2gether tab open in your browser, you can simply use /tvr and control the stream via the remote. You can paste a supported link in and hit the "link" button. All actions are synced except volume controls for obvious reasons. You can pause, play, fast forward, or fast back, and it will all be synced in real time for all players watching the TV. You can give another player a remote using /giveremote, or through the interaction menu. This will allow them to control the stream too and use the remote (you'll keep yours). FAQs Which furniture objects are supported? All furniture objects that were supported by the old TV system are compatible with this update, as well as cinema screens. Here's a full list: Deluxe Cinema System Medium White TV 50s TV Wide Thick TV Deluxe Wide Screen TV Large Black TV Medium Black TV 2 Medium Black TV Screen Extra Large TV SCreen White Large Screen TV Vintage TV Wide Fat Black TV Flat Screen TV Medium Modern TV Medium Modernistic TV Cinema Screen Widescreen TV setup with table Modern Huge TV wall Tall TV Set Wide White TV Set Wide Wooden TV Set White TV Stand Grey 14 TV Stand Glass 14 Huge flat screen TV How can I control the volume? You can use /tvv or /tvvolume to control the volume on your client, this won't affect other players. What links can I stream? You can stream anything that is supported by watch2gether, including YouTube, Soundcloud, Vimeo, Streamable, and many others. My TV bugged out or is not playing somehow, what can I do? This should never happen, but in case it does, you can use /fixtv to restream the TV. Can I stream a custom link, or my browser tab? Yes! You can share your screen on watch2gether and stream a tab or window, allowing you to stream anything. This will be synced to other players too. Note: When sharing your screen, other players may not be able to control the volume through /tvv due to watch2gether limitations. The way around this for other players would be to change the volume manually through their Windows mixer. This only applies to custom screen shares! Is there a limit to how many people can see a stream? No. Can I use this in exteriors? No. The TV feature is only supported in interiors, and only one TV at a time can be played in an interior.

  2. Pandamon Collection Cards Overview Following the success of ONE card game, multiple of you have asked us to expand the card games to other universes such as Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh. We initially joked about it until deciding to go all-in in providing GTAW with a unique collection card game. We've recreated an entire collection card game within GTAW with 150 cards designed through artificial intelligence to create unique designs that'll remind you of well known characters from existing inspirations, and a unique collection & pack opening interface to go with the feature. While combat & rules are not planned yet, it might be something we'll expand to in the future if the game is successful! For now, the goal is to provide our collectionists a way to collect all cards and their associated rarities, from common to unique cards that can only be looted once in the server. You'll also be able to trade your cards with other players! You can buy cards directly ingame with 3 currencies : ingame $, panda points or world points! Cards bought with panda points or world points cannot be traded directly to other players to not mix OOC / IC currencies, a specific UCP marketplace has been created to sell them. Ingame $ bought cards can be directly traded ingame! It also mean that if you're lucky, you might get some large amount of world points if you unpack a very rare card! Panda points !? Yes, panda points are also coming back as an activity reward to allow you to freely get packs every weeks as this new feature allow us to finally have a decent activity reward. You can buy packs at 24/7 with ingame money. Thanks to @nickM for the amazing work on the feature (UI, client side work), and @Price for the backend implementation! Unique cards? Some cards are fully unique : They can only be looted once on the server! It is very rare but holds a great value! Inactive characters will lose their unique cards after 3 months of inactivity so that the cards remain held by active players on the server, it'll be replaced by an artifact version of that card if you're inactive for 3 months. Disenchanting cards? You can disenchant any cards by going in your collection, then selecting a rarity. Click on a card and select how many you wish to disenchant, it'll give you panda points back! UCP Marketplace If you've bought the cards with world points, you can trade them on UCP on https://ucp.gta.world/cards and see your collection onhttps://ucp.gta.world/cards/collection Earn discord titles & UCP badges The following discord ranks are available for card collectors : Unique card owner Artifact collector Legendary collector Epic collector Rare collector The few of you who manages to collect all cards with a specific rarity will be granted these titles automatically (daily update on UCP), and if you own a Unique card you'll get a title too!

  3. Following threats sent to our team and constant toxicity from the faction members since the war was ended, the faction is now closed for now. Any attempts to continue the roleplay ingame will be dealt with a permanent ban. Players who had fun spamming and spreading toxicity will be immediately banned too. The leadership may contact IFM in the next days to discuss the future of the group and the issues around it.

  4. Varrio Hang Out Boys 55 Varrio Hang Out Boys or 55 Hang Out Boys 13, also known as H.O.B or HOB is a predominantly Mexican-American criminal street gang located on the West Side of Vinewood Los Santos, San Andreas. The heart of their territory is at the intersection of Alta Street & Spanish Avenue. South of Vinewood Boulevard. They’re a smaller gang in comparison to their counterparts, but they’ve shown they're a force to be reckoned with. Their involvement in substantial gang-related activities backs this claim. 1986, Los Hang Out Boys In 1986, before Varrio Hang Out Boys existed, they were innocently enough, just a group of teenagers seeking camaraderie and friendship on the streets of Vinewood. The intersection of Alta Street & Spanish Avenue quickly turned into a hotbed for crime and gang related activities in Vinewood. Which subsequently the would-be Hang Out Boys fell victim to. Constantly targeted by local gang members and drug addicts, the Hang Out Boys found themselves falling victim to a world of violence. The turning point came when a fellow member named Minor was in a near-death situation with a local gang member from Street Villains 13 in a targeted attack, barely escaping with his life. Confused and enraged by the attack, the Hang Out Boys were fed up and wanted to retaliate after seeing their close friend get so close to death. A pivotal meeting was held following the incident, they made a decision to transform themselves from a group of teenagers into a formidable street gang. After shooting a few names back and forth, Hang Out Boys was officially off the ground and in the streets. Bombing walls, using homemade weaponry to retaliate on two neighboring gangs in the Vinewood area, HOB started getting their name in the streets. They sought out and vetted people they knew for recruitment. They turned to a local skateboarding crew that had often given them problems, and the Hang Out Boys convinced them to get on board with the program. 2009, Hang Out Boys & 55 Bunch As the years passed, the conflict between H.O.B. and various other gangs continued. Hang Out Boys never had many allies because they considered themselves formidable enough to stand their ground in the notoriously seedy Vinewood area despite their limited membership. However, they were often acquainted with the 55 Bunch Gang, also commonly known as Varrio 55th Street. This gang was known to be located in the 50s, a roughly nine to ten block distance away from the Hang Out Boys. They’ve frequently been reported to have similar rivals which could be the primary motivation behind their soon to be alliance. It is reported that in 2009, they participated in a combined attack on the Playboys 13 gang in West Vinewood, killing a member in retaliation for the death of a known rapper, as well as reputable gang member Lil Joker from 55 Bunch. The witness is said to be the fallen Playboys 13 member's girlfriend, and she identified three separate shooters, one from Hang Out Boys and two from 55 Bunch. Hang Out Boys also had to cope with a fierce turf dispute between themselves, 4-Pacc Gangster Crips, and the 41st Street Gang because they were all on top of each other. This was a long conflict in which both sides lost many members; despite this, HOB crushed the opposing forces. This is what they were known to do. It’s been said they’re low in numbers, but when it comes to wartime, or "playing ball" as some would describe it, they've always been the strategic type, aiming for reputable members from all sides. Some say the war between Hang Out Boys and 4-Pacc Gangster Crips, an alliance of several neighboring Gangster Crip gangs based in the 40s, was 10-2, with HOB leaving them at a devastating loss. For context, before the early 2000’s, the 41st Street Gang used to be a clique under Hang Out Boys. Something caused a split and divide within the gang causing 41st Street to break away from Hang Out Boys. Tension rose, and 41st Street made the first move. Jorge Ayala a/k/a Sleepy was a reputable HOB member. Early in the morning on September 10th 2009, Jorge was murdered by a known 41st Street member who went by the name of Lil P Boy. Lil P Boy was sentenced to life in prison in 2012. This was the catalyst to a gang war that has been going on for over ten years now. Since then, Varrio 41st hasn’t let up one bit. Hang Out Boys have been losing quite a few members over the years. Since the two were so close in proximity to each other in the gritty streets of Hawick, Hang Out Boys were bound to run across members of 55 Bunch along the way; They would soon grow acquainted while fighting the same enemies. It has been stated that they frequently appear in the same location, hanging out with one another and even taking on each other's beef from time to time. Their names started to show up together in hit-ups all throughout West Vinewood. The strengthening alliance between the two was reinforced after older members met to discuss what this meant for the future of Hang Out Boys 13 and 55 Bunch. They discussed similarities between the two, specifically their shared hatred for 41st Street and Playboys 13. Both sides recognized they didn't necessarily need one another but that they'd be powerful together. The new moniker “Varrio Hang Out Boys 55” was then stamped from that day forth. Present Day, Varrio Hang Out Boys 55 Today, Varrio Hang Out Boys 55 has a formidable presence in the streets of West Vinewood. They've adopted the CK, or Crip Killer mantra because of their continuous conflicts with neighboring Crip gangs, specifically Gangster Crips to this day. Outside of the realm of gang banging, they face an issue that might be bigger than banging itself, gentrification. While Vinewood is known for its bright lights and luxury atmosphere, generations of residents are being displaced, erased, and marginalized to maintain this image. The increased rent and evictions caused by gentrification destroy the essence of the community, displacing long-time residents and causing a socioeconomic shift. Families who have lived in Vinewood for generations find themselves priced out of their own neighborhoods, forced to relocate to cheaper areas further from their homes. Additionally, as businesses catering to wealthy patrons, they replace local shops and establishments in the process. Neighborhood landmarks, traditions, and histories are often erased or marginalized in favor of this sanitized image designed to appeal to high earners. This directly affected gangs like the Hang Out Boys who live in an area of Vinewood that's below poverty level. A number of members dealt with the effects of gentrification displacing many of them to areas like East Vinewood or even as far as El Burro and Rancho. A symptom of gentrification is an increase in police presence in said area. Police are often called by local residents who complain about minor issues like noise complaints or loud music. This increase of presence disproportionately affects minorities, specifically black and brown people. So while some people think they're improving a situation they're oftentimes making it much more difficult. On that account, the numbers Varrio Hang Out Boys 55 held previously during their prime from 1986 to 2009 have dwindled over the years. In order to survive financially and support their households, the Hang Outs had no choice but to adapt to their rapidly changing environment. A variety of members have been reported to be responsible for the recent high report of theft and larceny cases against naïve tourists and Los Santos transplants in the star-studded West Vinewood area. Despite going through the trials and tribulations the Hang Out Boys remain resilient and strong through their situation in order to survive.

  6. MARAVILLIANS - THE GREEN LIGHT GANG A group of street gangs emerged in the East Los Santos area during the 1930s, it was later known that these gangs were "Maravillas". The Maravillas consists of several gangs across East Los Santos, such as Ford Maravilla, Gage Maravilla, Lopez Maravilla, El Hoyo Maravilla, Arizona Maravilla, and many more to count. The the late early 90s, the Mexican Mafia also known as La eMe began taxing Mexican-American street gangs, most gangs fell in order but for the ones who didn't felt serious consequences. The Maravilla gangs in East Los Santos were one of the few gangs who did not fall in line with the Mexican Mafia tax. It is said that when asked to pay the tax to the Mexican Mafia, Lopez Maravilla were being charged for something in South Los Santos that they had nothing to do with. So, Lopez refused to pay the tax, which revolved to a greenlight on the Lopez Maravilla. Shortly after, all of Maravilla Varrios were greenlit by the Mexican Mafia. Sometime in the late 1990s, all Maravilla factions preformed a truce to defend themselves against the Mexican Mafia. Things were getting deadly on the streets, and in the Los Santos County Jail, also known as the Twins Tower Correctional Facility, or "The Twins". It's said that the greenlit was ONLY acknowledged in the streets, and county jail, not prison. While in the county jail, things were getting bad, so bad that the City Of Los Santos had placed Maravilla in their own module, away from Surenos. About a few years later, in the early to late 2000s, the greenlit was taken off of Maravilla. Although the blood that was shed behind it can never be forgiven. Nowadays, Maravilla involved themselves with the Mexican Mafia, although it is still stated that the Mexican Mafia and some Maravilla factions maintain a shaky relationship. Some factions within the Maravillas have grown since the greenlight was lifted. While others have shrunk, some are even presented as "Defunct" which is another way of saying something is not active anymore, or "dead". Ford Maravilla's turf has since shrunken, and they're now at beef with neighboring Maravilla gangs, such as Fraser Maravilla, and Marianna Maravilla. Some say this beef sparked from backdoors, while others may say it's because Ford is trying to take territory from the two. Although we may never know what's the real meaning behind it. A COLD SUMMER - JEFFERY "CRITTER" VALDEZ Around 9PM on a June night, a Los Santos Deputy responded to a 911 call about a shooting. When they arrived to the area, they found Jeffery Valdez, a documented gang member from Ford Maravilla. Jeffery suffered from five gunshot wounds, two to the chest, one to the cheek, and two to the face. Jeffery's injuries were fatal, and Law Enforcement knew he wasn't going to make it. Jeffery was then pronounced deceased on the scene, and transported to the Los Santos Morgue. Law Enforcement reported that they had found a .45 caliber handgun not too far away from the scene. When a dummy test was preformed, it was proved that this was the gun used. After tracing the fingerprints, they'd found that a Michael Jefferson was responsible for this murder. But by time they'd gotten to Michael, he had fleed the state. Warrants were placed for Michael's arrest, and he was found in a abandoned barbershop in Arizona. Michael was then charged with Jeffery's murder, which he pled not gulity. Michael was put on trial, and they also found a cigarette with his DNA on it close to Jeffery's death-site. This dug Michael a deeper grave, and his lawyer even told him to take a plea. Michael still fought the case, eventually losing. The Los Santos Police Department department threw the book at Michael, and gave him life in the San Andreas Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Later rumors suspected that this was a gang-related shooting. But others said this was more personal. Jeffery had recently been involved in a spring of drug-deals, and some said his product was being stepped-on, also known as laced. Michael's older sister was a drug addict, and she'd recently been pronounced deceased after purchasing drugs from Jeffery, he denied that he'd sold drugs to Michael's sister, and only knew her from hanging around the neighborhood. Many suspected that Jeffery was murdered in revenge of Michael's sister. CURRENT DAY FORD MARAVILLA Nowadays, Ford Maravilla is slowly climbing back to it's reputation. With the Mexican Mafia greenlight, and Los Santos gang injunctions, it won't be easy. And they know it. Kids as young as age 12 are getting recruiting into East Los Santos gangs, although it's heavily frowned upon. Ford Maravilla now /functions/ in a small area of El Burro, mainly Fudge Lane, alongside neighboring Maravilla, and Sureno factions, such as Gage Maravilla, ES Lott 13, Krazy Ass Mexikans 13, Arizona Maravilla, Lil East Los 13, and more. Although these gangs are quite larger than Ford in numbers, Ford Maravilla has still maintained it's reputation.

  10. Gonna close this since it's just turning into a back and forth that is derailing the topic. The county should NOT be a place of severe racism. This is a depiction of California after all. Sandy Shores is quite literally just Salton Seas. You can look up videos of what the place looks like, how the people talk there, the ethnicity/race breakdowns, etc. Salton Seas was a very popular tourist destination for the beach for a long period of time. Going to the county shouldn't suddenly turn into a wild over exaggerated Southern Florida man meth wielding gator loving racist asshole yelling at every single person he doesn't like adventure. This isn't acceptable and never should be for what the area is supposed to be. We need you guys to file faction reports against whatever faction it is that you are running into displaying such overly racist and aggressive behavior. This doesn't matter if they're in the county or the city, it's all the same. IFM as a team is not all seeing, we can only really act on what we see ourselves happen or what others report to us with evidence. Many times, we've asked players to elaborate or send us evidence (even just logs) of an interaction, they've ghosted us afterwards or told us they didn't care all that much to do that. If you seriously believe there are factions on this server right now that are completely unrealistic in their portrayal of certain areas and how to interact with normal people, please do file faction reports on them. If you also feel there is some OOC motivation going on, send in reports about that as well. In terms of allowing other factions (such as Antifa), please do send myself and @slothy a private message if you are interested in concepts such as this and we'll re-review what sort of factions we as a team accept at the moment. A lot of the old rejections, such as Antifa, are relics of the past and are things we're willing to look at right now and approve if the right people approach the concept with an actual plan.

  11. You cant use the county being a predominantly white area as an excuse for the absolutely piss poor hyper racist shit thats portrayed by county rpers. If half of the hate crimes that happened out there were to happen in the real world that shit would make national headlines. This isn't the confederate states during the 1860s and 1870s. People don't get chased down, jumped and beat in the street, have the hard R repeatedly hurled at them or be barred from every business in the area just because they're black in a white area. I get it if you're European and closest thing to an ethnic minority you've encountered is someone from the Mediterranean but this is North America buddy. Shit like that just doesn't happen. Let's also not forget when somebody thought this was appropriate let alone realistic to post this as a /cim at the Sandy Shores LTD not even a month ago. 90% of you need a reality check.

  14. Detailed Description This will have the same concept as checking player outfits details and tattoos but for MCs to use for their vest specifications. Unofficial MCs that haven't earned a server slot for their vest are forced to put all of their club patches in their /examine which are all too common metagamed if not worn or they have to /ame frequently with their vest information when worn. If unofficial factions are not wearing their vest in character it takes away wording from their character's examine limiting their character details. Official factions would be able to detail their server side vests that are currently limited to a specific amount of slots. Official MC faction members would not all have the same patches in character as is currently visible when using /vest, allowing their actual patches to be explained when examined. Official factions would have their /vestinfo removed from the /examine option when the /vest command currently implemented is set to slot 0. Relevant Commands/Items /vest - Already implemented for official factions. When current server slots are worn it'd activate their /vestinfo the same applies for hiding /vestinfo when their server side /vest is set to 0 as off. /vestinfo - Detailed character vest information per member of any MC for others to check. /vestexamine /vestex /exvest - Examine the details of someone's vest, a short command would be preferable. /veston - Allow unofficial members when used to activate their /vestinfo in their /examine showing the full command to check their patches. /vestoff - Unofficial factions who haven't earned server side vests will be able to hide their /vestinfo prompt from their /examine when in character vests aren't worn. How will it benefit the server It will allow for a more immersive experience for all of the motorcycle club scene and the community as a whole to better understand each character with their affiliation to each MC.

  17. Hi, new player here, played a bit a few months ago and got in an accident but I'm back on the server. I decided to make a hippy like character and roleplay in the sandy shores area. All went well for the first few hours until some people showed up acting all tough like they own the place. Now I'm fine with gangs and faction having their territories and it makes sense to a certain degree. The sad part is I'm just trying to bring life out in the county as I thought the scenic views would fit a hippy character better, but sadly I ended up being forcibly attacked on the daily even if I didn't go look for trouble, trouble came my way.... And of course, they always call you a R-word and then apparently that gives them a reason to attack you and beat you to death. I understand we're all trying to roleplay our things, but when you force yourself upon others to create conflict purposefully it makes your RP seem weak and terrible. If someone is working in a 24/7 I don't think they're trying to be a threat to you even if they roleplay something different than your typical white tough guy... I was told by multiple people that's one of the reason the country side is mostly empty as people are literally pushed off by people complaining about how the country is empty... Honestly it just sucks and drains my feel to play, I was having fun until they came and destroyed my character, I don't mind losing and it's not about winning or losing anything but about enjoying myself without looking for trouble. But apparently outside LS being different is a reason to get beaten for no reason, and yes I should probably report them but then if they get punished they'll somehow end up trying to hate me, out of character when they did that to themselves. I'm not looking for punishment but for a basic form of realism. According to their logic, if you're a black person and they're racist that can give them the right to beat you if you're alone in a store, absolutely unacceptable for a server that labels itself as "HEAVY RP". Crete your own RP and I'm sure illegal factions can create conflict which each-others, and civilians are just an extra layer of rp around it to make it feel better and level up your playing experience. But I'm new, so am I in the wrong or am I right? I truly do not know.... But it's a bit sad and it sucks

  18. Hey hey fuckers its me again. How to get injured by Randy (not an alcoholic) This time we're gonna talk about something very, very consequential to most roles that are played on GTAW, getting physically fucked up. Most people suck at it. This is how we're gonna make you un-suck at it, and make my life easier. This guide is mostly because I want to fight against Losantoitis. What is losantoitis? It's this annoying habit of when someone gets a paper cut, or a baseball to the face, or getting shot in the leg eight times, and immediately type this fucking phrase. /me goes unconscious, or /me is unconscious, or /me does not respond, or /me does not respond to me smashing their fucking chest multiple times. As you can tell, this makes me angry. I am enraged, my blood pressure is through the roof and I will die of a stroke. Wanna know why? IN all my years of working this job while touching grass and not in the virtual world, I've had very few people actually stay unconscious for very long. They only do that when they're about to die, about to do something really funny like die, or are placed there in some over-arching circumstance like me flirting with being in court for murder after I dose somebody with 500mg of ketamine after failing to evaluate them. There are reasons to be unconscious, but good god is it incredibly hard to stay that way for long. I see this mostly when people are in car accidents, but it happens with everyone roleplaying injuries, and I think its more to do with the widespread amount of media relating to injuries that people think certain things will make them comatose. So we're gonna dispel those lies and teach you how to roleplay the most common type of misfortunes a character can find themselves in. And we'll make it fun. We'll break this into sections. The first one is the favorite, GETTING SHOT, then we got GETTING INTO A CAR WRECK, then we'll move on to GETTING HIT IN THE HEAD, and finally I'll round it out with STUFF THAT WILL MAKE YOU NOT FEEL GOOD for everything else. This'll be a longer guide but hey, you signed up for it. GETTING SHOT THE MOST COMMON of the Los Santos diagnoses. We make trauma surgeons cry with how many times we've been shot, stabbed, or run over. But we definitely get shot more. They really have to take those magnets out of cops, they get shot a lot. So what happens when you get shot? It depends where you get shot. Generally a bullet is a fast moving projectile that is extremely hot, as it goes through human bits, it'll actually somewhat cauterize the puncture entrence before (and i'm sorry if you're squemish) sending its kinetic energy into the bits surrounding it as it goes through you! Ah! Higher power means less bouncing. Funnily enough, most people who actually die from bullets are usually shot by a .22 round, since it has this tendency to bounce around all those organs you need to live. So how are we gonna portray this? First, figure out where you've been shot, do /damages on yourself. Then use my handy-dandy guide: SHOT IN THE LEGS/ARMS - Your character is in some pain as you have been stung by a bee, that bee being made out of lead, if you're unlucky an artery has been severed or your bone was broken as the bullet went through. You may have an arm fracture and you were shot. Oh on top of your femur being smashed into two pieces by a rifle round, your femoral artery was served. If a tourniquet isn't placed, you may die quickly. If nothing vital like an artery or large bone was pierced, regular bandaging may keep you alive long enough for the surgeons to actually save your life. You will be awake, and once the adrenaline wears off, you will be in a LOT of pain. SHOT IN THE CHEST - Well buddy, this sucks. If the bullet hasn't hit your heart, you may survive this. If the bullet missed your lungs, you will be fine for a while, infact you're not really bleeding much from the chest wound. Well, until you realize all the blood is going /into/ your chest. The blood will make it hard to breathe, then you realize your chest has more room for it, and all that air from outside goes in, making it suddenly incredibly difficult to breathe. Congrats you have a TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX! Unless your chest is decompressed of its air with a NEEDLE DECOMPRESSION DART by rescuers, you will continue to not breathe, until you perish. You will be awake, and you will be in pain as you struggle to breathe. SHOT IN THE HEAD - You die. That sucks. Unless you get hit in the jaw, then you'll be disfigured for the rest of your life. Or you get lucky and it misses the important bit of your brain, then you'll simply have neurological deficits for the rest of your life. You'll probably be awake, unless you're dead. SHOT IN THE ABDOMEN - Ooo thats gonna suck in a week. You bleed fairly slowly, lots of internal organs, you don't feel great, pain is significant. If your vital organs including the kidneys, liver, the spleen (you really dont want this to get shot), stomach, or intenstines were hit, you'll need significant surgeries, and you will probably die in the hospital from an infection, if not from the surgeries you need to survive this. You will be awake, you will wish you weren't, and shit sucks. SHOT IN THE PELVIS - Significant pain, you'll be awake, you will bleed a LOT (internally). UNIVERSAL RULE - Besides the limbs getting shot or your neck, or your head, there isn't actually a ton of blood leaking out of you for the most part. Bullet holes are small unless its a fairly large caliber, I'm talking .50 and above. Most of the trauma is inside of you. Getting shot will affect your character life long, from neurons being broken up or destroyed, to being in a wheelchair or being paralyzed for the rest of your life. I know most of you won't ever roleplay that. But just remember this golden rule. IT WILL HURT, AND STAY AWAKE CAR WRECKS (you wish you were this cool) Ahhh cars. We drive them, we really shouldn't. And our society is far too reliant on 2 tons of plastic. Cars in the modern world are exceptionally safe. Since monkeys cannot drive cars, we get into a lot of accidents. You monkeys especially. Let me teach you some important factors about cars. THEY HAVE AIRBAGS, if the airbags deploy, they are there to cushion your body. You will not get a FOREHEAD LACERATION 90% of the time because the wheel you're driving has an airbag. Stop it. You also have a seat-belt! And your car is design to destroy itself to protect you. The VAST MAJORITY of car wrecks are fender benders, the rest are usually minor injuries. And barely 1-2% of car wrecks have fatalities or life threatening injuries. Usually requiring bad luck, poor driving, and fast speeds. The most common type of injury during a car wreck are minor injuries including being sore, feeling chest pain from the seatbelt, neck or back pain from the impacts. And maybe a few cuts around your hands and legs from broken side door glass. For the serious injury, let me give you an example. You're driving your piece of shit SUV kid cruncher 5000, as you go through an intersection at MACH 3.2, you crush a family van. The van is sent into a light pole and is wrapped around it. The family of three inside is actually alive, two of them hop out and have various broken limbs, with one having a severed hand after being crushed by the wrapping of the pole. The driving is entrapped by the vehicle, and needs firefighters to cut him out of it. ALL OF YOU ARE AWAKE. You're fine, because you hit them, in the larger vehicle. Its very hard to die in a modern car crash. Its almost impossible to go completely unconscious. Stop going unconscious. You'd be awake, in pain, dazed, confused, maybe a bad head trauma has caused you to become altered mentally, angry, and demanding violence, infact... HOW TO HAVE A HEAD INJURY I'll be honest, this guide really is more of a rant at the shit I see. The people going snoring after any sort of head injury. Look, sometimes you do go unconscious with head injuries. Its never long, you may have a few minutes of nap time. But you will awake, the only time I've seen people go unconscious for longer than FIVE minutes, is significant bleeding in the brain, which is often life-threatening, will put you in the disability bracket, will require brain surgery, and will fuck you up for life. Its essentially a stroke. Also, sometimes they’re still awake. With stroke like symptoms. So lets go over brain injuries, and head trauma in general. MILD HEAD INJURY: You've been hit in the head, your bell is rung, and you have a concussion! Contrary to popular opinion, you cannot tell someone is having a concussion by looking at their eyes. Sometimes if a brain injury is bad enough, your pupils will react to light slowly, this is not totally uncommon, but it’s often inaccurate as shit. Sometimes people have slow moving pupils, other times people have no idea what a normal pupil reaction is. The biggest indicator of someone having a concussion is slurred words, slow reactions, acting lethargic, dazed, confused or vomiting. MAJOR HEAD INJURY: You've been hit repeatedly in the snozz, fallen to the floor and smashed your head to the concrete. A little bit of blood is seen, this will make you go briefly unconscious. When you’ve awaken, you've had a seizure while you were out, then you have become death, destroyer of worlds. You're angry, in pain, you have no thoughts, only violence. You throw your large arms around, you punch, kick, scream. There is blood in your brain, your brain is angry, it is not getting enough oxygen. Your pupils would be MASSIVE on one side of your eye, and your other eye has a teeny tiny pupil. ALTERNATIVELY: You become dazed, confused, you begin to vomit nonstop, you forget the date, the time, the year, who you are, and keep asking if its christmas. Both are bad and you will want to get moving to the hospital. FINAL NOTES I wrote another guide called HOW TO OVERDOSE, in that I told you to stop being boring. I was failed, overdoses have failed to rise. People are still going unconscious, so I decided to tackle another facet of issues. One of the things I will mention in trauma is, don't act normally. Be confused, dazed, angry, scared, crying, throw shit around, have a seizure. If you lose a lot of blood, start speaking gibberish. Stop. Stop going unconscious. If you do, make sure to let everyone know you're about to die. A few other notes. With any major traumatic injury, the only thing that will save your life is a team of surgeons, if you've been shot in the stomach, go to your local hood "doctor" and he "stitches" your wound up. You will die the next day from internal bleeding, or you will have a septic infection in a week, and will no longer be able to move as your brain cooks from a 108F fever. I'll add on this guide as I think of more injuries. Most things are straight forward, hit in the arm, arm hurt, bone might be broken. I'll also add a final tip for rescuers. Stop pretending you have x-ray vision. If someones arm is broken and the bone isn't sticking out of the skin, it will be hard to tell. Mostly all you'll see is significant swelling and bruising. They need an x-ray. Also stop saying you saw he has a concussion because you stared deeply in his eyes. As always, if you have questions, I may have the answers.

  19. Staff Update April 2024 Welcome Welcome to the April 2024 edition of the Staff Update! This last month has been an extremely busy one from a server standpoint, with a lot of work taking place in development, modding and across the admin team as a whole! From community meetings been held by Property Management, to reviewing new ideas as part of the monthly staff meeting, we're trying to ensure that as weeks go by, we keep our ear to the ground and do our absolute best to ensure we're providing you with the quality you know and deserve. A lot of our biggest projects are still in the works, but we're excited to share more with you soon. Development Update Clothing Update Where to start, other than our amazing clothing update?! As announced by Oggy on Discord the other day, our biggest update has to be the clothing update which has been put together over the last few weeks. Clothing updates are something we try to do as regularly as possible, but - due to the sheer amount of content we continue to bring to the server, and rage's own limitations, we have to be very careful about how this content is arranged, and developed - as well as ensuring that it meets a level of acceptable quality, but without causing too much in the way of lag or issues for our users on older platforms too. Our modding team work based on suggestions made by players and factions, and also some ideas they throw into the mix too as they curate the content to try and suit the server, and with over 300 custom items added during this update, we cannot thank them enough for the time and effort they put into maintaining this. We know it's not easy, but your work continues to make everything amazing, and we're very thankful to those unsung heroes in the modding team who take all these requests and smash them out month after month. Pandamon! Pandamon is coming soon! No, this isn't an April Fools! After the success of ONE, our dev team have been working to produce a unique trading card game experience to give you guys something really interesting to collect ingame. We cant wait for you to get to see Pandamon in action, and you can see more details here More to come? Nervous has announced there will be one more announcement coming soon, and we're very excited to bring that to you - so keep posted on the Discord as we continue to bring new features across the board! This month's Stats Over the last month our team have answered: 12,149 Reports 8,529 Tickets 2,757 Apps 245 Forum Reports 82 Asset Transfers 204 Refund Requests We've brought a few more stats in this month on top of what we usually bring just to give you more insight into the work that our team do on a daily basis. This doesn't include all the many hours they spend in their subteams doing work too. In comparison, that's over 2000 more reports, over 500 more tickets, over 400 more applications. We're incredibly grateful for all the hard work the team are putting in. Without their long hours, we wouldn't be able to deliver GTA: World, and they deserve all the thanks and praise for all they do.
