One of our biggest goals as a faction has always been authenticity and well-paced development. Over the past two months, we have been role-playing a disorganized Bonanno outfit slung into LS to establish a car-theft ring. We considered progression carefully and took no short cuts. We bent the knee to stronger/established factions in a city that wasn’t our own, and carved out a cash line that kept our heads above water; just. As an LCN faction, we’re also bound by protocol to be governed by established CFs on GTAW. Currently, we’re a vassal of Martorano and have enjoyed participating in inter-faction LCN RP—something that is rare between Cosa Nostra RP groups despite its IRL existence. Although we’re still on the bottom run of the ladder from a lore perspective (we’re still outsiders in LS), our storyline has progressed to the point where NYC now recognizes us as a crew. Therefore, with approval from IFM, we’ve changed our name to the Magellan Avenue Crew. This project has been dope so far, and a lot of effort has gone into it. Thank you to everyone who has taken part. Looking forward to the next chapter of the story. This is entirely driven by the actions of our IC characters. Anything could happen, and that’s what makes it so fun.

Well done, fellas. Great effort over the past two months.

Thanks for the support.

Thanks, appreciate that. Yeah, I agree with your comments. Less coverage. Anywhere there's money to be made, organized crime are gonna pop up. LA is a sesspit of opportunity for criminals. Also, we're talking about a city that's 4 hours away from Las Vegas too; that place was built and maintained by the mob for decades. You can imagine the kind of characters who settled in Los Angeles over the years. I know I would, California is paradise.

This is dope. Great concept. I'm running a low-end LCN auto-theft ring with @Street Bossand @Brigone; not even a crew, just a rag-tag group of Bonanno earners. As an unofficial group, the points @Bospy and @Badermake about CF realism make a lot of sense. In LCN RP, we gotta look after what being inducted means and the commitment players make to achieve it. In some cases, it can take a well-paced character 6-12+ months to get straightened out. Auto-making characters should never be taken lightly. If everyone did this, it'd dilute the quality of the LCN scene. At the same time, you can't stop people from trying to develop and helm their own project. In my view, if you're an LCN unofficial group, you should recognize an official CF's inducted members as made by default. Including the power/respect Cosa Nostra entitles them to wield. This should be a rule. Then, it's up to those official bodies to decide whether or not a start-up is good enough to RP with/be recognized as LCN--But, also help develop them if they're not to standard. This will stop random crews popping up/claiming power. You gotta enter as an underdog. As an example, we have 20+ players in our faction. There are only 3 made men and no skip. This gives both Martorano/Conti complete power over us. We pay a vig to Martorano and ensure our development/operation doesn't surpass what's realistic of a group our size. Our goal is character development, not control.
