    Chernobyl

    What happens when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. It's interesting how something that happened in real life is much more interesting and engaging than a lot of fiction created to reel people in. It's a genuine show that reveals the insanity to which people were subjected to. Soviet Union (eS eS eS eR), was something else I tell you, all the stories I've heard from my parents and grandparents are crazy but believable since nothing was sacred. They should make more shows about that time, like KGB, different countries dealing with Soviet reign and how now people are being exposed for snitching on their own neighbors, friends and even family for privilege."
  2. Damn, the script and all. Shit like this takes some effort, Kudos to you, pal. Waiting on part two of the crow man!
  3. Looks neat, keep 'em coming.
  4. There's this thing called "Faction managment team" and every faction story goes through them. Apparently they have not kept up with this issue. I assume they will take note upon reviewing new factions and keep this in mind or not it's up to them.

    GTA 6

    "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." GTA V is coming close to a point where servers pop up and die within months. The only thing you can speculate is whether this community will still be around at the time of the launch for GTA 6.
  6. Make them all pay local, global, fast and slow. Rob them alll! Neat. Gl.
  7. Logically thinking news should be funded by huge amount of ads filling up the left side of your screen, but apparently that logic didn't reach all the staff teams and structures. @HaveADream Might need to post a suggestion to get this implemented.
  8. The ad selling part is mostly hindered by script that achieves to smother News RP because why would I go to second party for an ad when I have a script at my disposal. Changing this might solve another problem being retarded ads, that wouldn't be possible to be aired in any sensible outlet or ad-space. This requires a wider poll and community discussion because the ads right now are a wildfire if you ask me. There's nothing "quality-RP" about current ad spam. Also I'd look for more unconventional ways to earn extra dollar by making under the table deals when reviewing clubs or covering news about certain individuals or accidents. Approached and offered in the right way this might open a lot of opportunities for pretty great RP. Trust me this goes both for illegal and legal factions. Any type of work put in to screenshots and RP that goes unnoticed hurts to anyone and that will stay that way because of the ADHD and simple carelessness. Can't really blame people for not wanting to read stuff about topics that don't interest them. So I'd focus on people who appreciate it and use that as a motivation to improve with every step. Maybe there's a way to approach government and become partially funded that way. There should be a way to be rewarded for every click on the article, with ads woven in the articles. If approaching people who run bigger legal organizations both by IC or OOC means fails. I feel like server is quick to limit RP using the good old there isn't a script for that argument, but they struggle to help projects in similar situation like you are. That said anyone arguing that this is an IC issue is not thinking straight. Trying to make RP like this grow in gta:W without artificial help is equivalent to opening an Apple store in small Amish village and expecting profit.
  9. By the looks of it the admin who spectated the situation made an oopsie and forgot to leave a notification. You probably should PM staff management and look to resolve the situation by voiding your arrest or something along those lines. It's not like you would've got away at the time of the raid but still this shit fucks with man's roleplay. P.S God, some people are fucking stupid, the ADHD is too real can't even finish reading a sentence.
  10. The fact that this is not feast-or-famine scenario is why this player shouldn't be vindicated for. In his case he even made RP for his group. No, I wouldn't consider going to NPC rather than to driver across the whole city to Vinewood for pack of cigarettes and altercation "Powergame".Going to Vinewood cause of pack of cigarettes is what I'd consider poor portrayal of hood character. He established to his character that the said person(friend) is a local and known among residents. In the process someone else could've come along and asked about this influential friend and there you have it a chain reaction of RP delivered rather than withheld. Dynamic RP created from passive RP. In a much better environment because of the NPC RP. I'd give props to making new acquaintances this way rather than club and want to buy some drugs way.
  11. No. Maybe he RPed the NPC because there were no people working at 24/7s. Or there were in areas where this type of RP is unrealistic. People should be able to distinguish powergame from passive RP. If you can't make the difference then how did you even last this long in the server. Is it better to do some passive RP with NPCs to establish your character or to "afk" until you run in to someone? I think it's quite clear which is a better option.
  12. You're overthinking. NPCs are at the core of every characters story. Might as well ban most characters which which have stories describing life before Los Santos according to your logic. Nobody RPed your mother, nobody RPed your father, nobody RPed your teacher... but your character is here and has had those interactions and even still do. What I'm saying there's a border to which NPCs are to be RPed. If you ignore this border, you're breaking common sense rules and powergame rules and so on. You probably shouldn't RP NPCs in public spaces but calling your NPC grandma for some exposition and character development is a great idea. Don't look for problem where there isn't one. I've been called out on RPing NPCs for passive experience and in return I call those people out for driving a 200 k car without a house or a job.
  13. Soldiers go to war to win
  14. It takes two to tango
  15. Taking an opportunity
  16. A+ on the guide to author. To every new RP player reading this I assure you that by going past "The Basics" section you'll rob yourself of explicit experience IC an OOC. Because the story you'll make by finding these things out IC yourself might build a hell of a first story.
  17. The story of Samuel Zedong Pungent aroma familiar to most filled the interior. Corridors flooded by the noise of doctors and patients pacing back and forth with occasional screams of woman giving life or intense crying in despair from a family who lost a loved one. Coming in to to this world with disturbing silence is a baby to a single mother. Silence was accompanied by despaired faces as a scream echoed from the ward and transitioned in to weeping. The baby had left this life before even taking his first breath. In the door standing tall yet disturbed is a seven years old boy staring and slowly tearing up as he realizes that his mother had lied to him and instead of sister he would've had a dear brother to love and cherish. Few moments after witnessing the turning point of his life young boy darted out the ward towards the exit of the hospital. After reaching the exit he dropped his knees on the ice cold pavement and cried for the life had turned its back on him and this was the point that his childhood had come to an abrupt end. - Young boy's mother after the event went through severe depression that eventually lead to her insanity. She was put in to a insane asylum and over the next year Mikhail spent in a foster home where he made friends with one of the sons. The family was well off and the known in the community for the charity work they do. Mikhail seemed to get along well with one of his peers and made a good friend despite being the odd-one out. Furthermore the following year would remain in his memory as truly horrifying experience. After few months Mikhail's mother had been rehabilitated and was given back custody. During the year mother had lost her job and they were living off welfare. - Past that Young Samuel had lost most if not all of his emotions and rarely he found anything to make him happy or entertained. This continued throughout the years and caused him to become anti-social since it was hard trying to talk to people who know less than nothing. This allowed him to focus on his studies and work. To surprise to none he became a successful doctor. Few things fazed him, this might be the reason he felt so comfortable working in gruesome environment. Most of the day he spent with bloody hands and pacing down the same corridors he ran through after losing something before it was even given to him. The same halls in which he lost hope and learned to avoid taking anything for granted. Although dirt cheap for a doctor and always attending patients who lack the ability to pay, he was a good specialist. He wasn't working for the money but just to always have his mind occupied. At this pace this looked like Mikhail's happy ending, yet life had other plans for him. - During a busy day in hospital after summer solstice celebration Samuel's schedule was interrupted by a surprise arrival of an old friend accompanied by two men dressed in black but reeking of cigarette smoke and overwhelming aroma of cologne. Samuel greeted the old friend with a faint smile but received nothing but a bitter look of fear and regretful scowl as he handed Samuel an envelope. As Samuel received the letter he noticed a sloppily covered bruise covering his friend's eye and before he could say anything suited men jerked the boy away leaving Samuel puzzled. He quickly was distracted by nurses requesting his assistance and he rushed towards the ward with confused expression while stuffing the envelope in the pocket of his cowl. Late after work he slouched in his office chair and finally took time to read the envelope. Written tidy and very professional the letter was from his foster father requesting that he becomes his personal doctor. Although from the circumstances and the way letter was written he judged that it was more of an order than a request. - He reluctantly decided to arrive at the home he had almost forgot. "The amount of money invested in this castle could feed half of the Africa and a little more" Samuel thought to himself. Before he could ring the bell the gate opened and confidently he was approached by a man that had earned title the father due the way he earned a lot of the illicit money invested in the property. He greeted Samuel with a wide grin and placed his arm around his shoulder and tugged him along towards the entrance of the house. He attempted to talk but was overwhelmed each time by the details of his work for "The Father". Once he finally could speak he made a mistake of trying to turn down father's request. Clearly irritated by such disrespect he ordered his son to come and showed the real request details he couldn't put on paper. He showed that if Samuel truly decides to decline this offer his own son would suffer the consequences. He had to choose between saving his friend or himself. He made a truly honorable choice that dragged Samuel down a rabbit hole that he couldn't come back from. - After couple months of doing the the work for Father an outfit of his organization left for Los Santos, to attend a problem growing in the city and to mend the influence what was dwindling in the city since the local Tong was revolting and refusing to pay their dues. Samuel had to leave with them as they were in need of a someone able to attend the wounded and assist the organ harvest since the old surgeon got shot during a dispute between one of the rival organizations and the tong. To ensure that Samuel doesn't attempt an escape Father made sure that all his documents and money is kept with the Triad's trusted men. As soon as the the group arrived in Los Santos, they arrived at the safe house where they got ambushed by the rival criminal organizations members. During this encounter the men were outnumbered and one of the men and Mikhail managed to escape to another safe house in Little Seoul, which was burnt down. Mikhail tried to stitch up his only connection to Father. Sadly Samuel couldn't help the man and he bled out in his hands. Now he was left stranded in Los Santos without a name or money. 06/10/2019 He spent his days scouring through the trash trying to find something to eat, wear or sell to survive. Sometimes mugged and other times humiliated, he grew a apprehensive feeling for people who approached him. This continued for about two years before he was caught off guard while digging in dumpster in Little Seoul. A man approached him showing sympathy and kindness, which surprised Samuel even more. Samuel had spent two years avoiding people at all costs and now this stranger gave him a helping hand and helped him clean up. Samuel was cautious about every move and answer he gave but cracked and revealed what had happened to him. This gesture of kindness left him speechless and he finally might have found a way to start over. Now he's trying to get used to having money and not having to sleep on the street under the sky light although if he doesn't find a way to actually make money from day to day he might end up where he was recently. 06/14/2019 Samuel to his own surprise quickly got familiar with the local community in Little Seoul. While he felt like it's somewhat of a new beginning he couldn't but notice the parallels the were drawn between his new "friends" and the men he worked for previously. Keeping that thought in the back of his head he takes the best from it to establish an income for himself. Throughout the countless hours he's spending with different people he sees a potential in having their help for his endeavours. Right now he has plans in motion to establish his personal work space, where he could hone his old skills both on the willing and the unwilling. The sooner he finally starts doing his job and pulling his weight the sooner he can actually plan for big money and assure a sure way to his demise. to be continued..... Screenshots in chronological order.
  18. Yeah and get admins crying that they have too much to do and have no time to review your roleplay for learning the skill of tying a pony tail with your pubes. Either way just slap in a language system and be done with it. It will lower the amount of people doing this at least fifty percent which is good, rest can be reported for buying the whole library of languages and learning hundred languages in the time I can make a sandwich. To "clutter" boys and whatnot it would work just like masks and when people talk in different languages in real life it actually sounds like asdfga sdfaksdfaslkjdfgasgashg jdf as dghjas hgjfa ghkjsafd, So stop looking for an issue in that solution.
  19. Everyone wants to talk shit. @ 3rd person peek around the corner and discord squad ;))) Some like talking big and getting their homies hit.
