  1. I believe Rockstar broke the game with their latest dlc update. This began happening to me around the same time the update was released. The best I can do is get a better cpu to handle the load.
  2. The mixed martial arts (MMA) scene in Los Santos A brief yet comprehensive view at the MMA combat sport world in Los Santos today, for those who love the sport and find it to be more than just cage fighting or a pointless bashing of one another. By KAELYN DOYLE At the moment, the way aspiring fighters rise to the top of the food chain is by joining one of the local gyms in Los Santos, that feature a sparring cage and an affiliation with a fights promotion company. Currently, there are a number of such gyms. However, there's only a few fight promotion companies around, one being Bellicose MMA. Managed by Frank Palma, Bellicose MMA is a governing body of MMA in Los Santos. Bellicose fights are held at The Rockford Dome. The local gyms that are throughout Los Santos, scout their fighters then train them in preparation for in-house events, or massive Bellicose bouts at The Rockford Dome. Bellicose MMA logo (left), The Rockford Dome (right) Bellicose itself doesn't sign any fighters, the fighters are signed by the gyms. Bellicose only acts as an MMA promotion company, based in Los Santos. Unlike other MMA companies, weight divisions don't play a huge role in organizing fights between the fighters at Bellicose. Giovanni Delvecchio, manager of Sweathouse Gym in Cypress Flats, Los Santos, who also works with Frank Palma at Bellicose, says "We don't have any official weight classes as of right now, however, the fights tend to be organized after size. It's all about the show, and for a good show, you need an evenly matched fight. The cage at Sweathouse Gym in Cypress Flats, Los Santos. The gyms scout for potential fighters and work on their training. When asked about what does it take to fight at The Rockford Dome, more specifically, "What distinguishes a possible fighting champion and an average sparring partner?" Giovanni Delvecchio responded with "You watch them. I scout, watch a lot of fights and you quickly get the sense of what is talent and what is luck. Anyone can win one random round, but consistency... and let me tell ya, professionalism... the amount of people who want to be fighters, but put no effort towards it? Nobodies, and they stay that way". Giovanni Delvecchio, manager of Sweathouse Gym in Cypress Flats, Los Santos. Also, the fighters have to stick to a training routine and a healthier lifestyle, which some may consider a restrictive lifestyle. However, fighters should be avoiding alcohol and narcotics at all costs, and Giovanni Delvecchio hates to see a talented fighter waste their potential by ruining their health. The current MMA "Champion" titleholder is Levan "Lion" Botkoveli, who defeated the 42-year-old fighter, Sala "The Maestro" Bolo on the 15th of April at The Rockford Dome, on a Fight Night Bellicose event. The fight was unpredictable up until the final round. Both fighters won a round each, however, the final third round ended with a knockout win for Levan Botkoveli. Sala Bolo (left), Levan Botkoveli (right) Leading up to a fight, fighters may cut weight in order to gain a size advantage over their opponent. Heavier fighters with more strength may choose to cut weight and fight with a lower weight class opponent, this gives them a considerable amount of strength and knockout power advantage over their opponent. However, weight cutting is usually done very quickly over the course of the few days that lead up to a fight, which may sometimes be damaging to a fighter's physical and mental health. This involves dehydrating the body as much as possible in preparation for an upcoming bout. Fighters will then rehydrate themselves back to a weight that still matches their opponent's weight class. Fighters may use saunas to dehydrate their body and shed as much water weight as possible by sweating. Other fighters may push themselves harder at the gym, correcting their previous mistakes and honing their skills, leading up to a fight. While some may even rest and recover from a previous fight. In any case, Giovanni ensures that none of his fighters spar at the gym on the day of the fights to avoid fighters from straining themselves, or just in case a serious injury happens right before the events. Speaking of events. An upcoming in-house event at Sweathouse Gym will feature fighters such as Danny "Kamikaze" Okimoto, the previous winner of the last bout at Sweathouse. Danny will be fighting on the main card against Mika. The undercard fights will feature both men and women, with the men's undercard bout being Danilo Carangelo versus Reece Turner, and the undercard women's bout being between Ziggy and Natia Noroshia. The event is set to be on Thursday, the 20th. The doors to the gym are expected to open at 7 PM, with the fights beginning shortly after that, most likely beginning with the undercards. The fights have been confirmed, but may be subjected to change if the fighters were under a special circumstance. > Comments are enabled Username: Comment:
  3. Someone who can build a character that doesn't depend on others to be online. Someone that doesn't need to farm money to build a character. And everything everybody else says on this topic.
  4. Yes, if it places you in a different dimension.
  5. Yes please, I'm in prison right now IC, I had to write a letter for god's sake...
  6. Make each walkstyle permanently purchasable in the world points shop for roughly the same price as a namechange. I feel like walkstyles add more character to your character and it'd be nice to see more of that by making it a little more accessible for players.
  7. I've thought about this before and I was briefly interested in the idea of managing a community college. Basically, I wanted to teach students the knowledge and skills they need to be introduced to the work force we have in gtaw. This could be vehicle mechanics for instance for whoever wants to be a mechanic, nursing for the aspiring nurses out there who wanna work at the clinics we have on the server, journalism for the journalists, law for the lawyers, psychology for the shrinks and maybe even forensic science for CSI. The list goes on, the possibilities are endless, and with more courses being taught, more jobs are created.
  8. Sweet. Waiting for the info.
  9. banned for being a wee bit scottish
  10. It's been shown that once you create some awesome RP and build a company around something that isn't scripted yet, gtaw developers work around that idea to create a script that allows you to profit from it. The trucking job started as a side job, now we've got trucking companies, custom vehicles, delivery system. Pawn shops used to operate without a script, all RP. And let's not forget about jewelry stores. You could RP farming and selling fresh produce to restaurants around LS. You could create your own fruit and vegetable market somewhere in grapeseed and host events. So good luck, I hope you bring this to life, it would be great. ?

    The recent riots

    I think it was a nice change for once, an event that'll be a highlight for many of the players and characters involved. It definitely seemed like a stressful situation for PD, SD and FD though, especially because it happened very quickly. Now some say it all started with an n-word, some say it dates back a few days where someone was shot by PD. I personally don't know much 'bout the backstory and I also completely missed the riots yesterday, but this was bound to happen one way or another. It's obvious that the South Central residents and factions see police as a threat, or vice versa. I think that the police on this server are very different from police IRL, for one, they are less racist here. There's a lot less at stake for police here, for instance there's less tension in situations. This basically means there won't be many incidents where cops randomly shoot a black man (presumably out of fear for their life) or use racial slurs, it's also because we're always making sure that we follow in-game rules and randomly shooting a black man would fall under DM, racial slurs might fall under provocation. On the other hand though, characters roleplaying in South Central kinda view everybody as a threat, not just the police. So it's very easy to jump at a threat when faced with one, it's why we see more shootouts happen down south. So really, it doesn't matter how it started. Roleplay is almost a reflection of real life, and this riot was inspired by the recent real life events. IRL, a riot wouldn't start because a cop said the n-word, that happens way too often for it to be a riot starter, at this point it would just be insignificant. Real life riots happen over a very long period of time, years and years of police brutality and systemic racism, but this server is small compared to the real world so things are gonna turn out differently, cops will be judged for far less serious offenses.
