  1. More people need to join the Church of Anton Tszyu.

  3. Undzer ShtikThe Jewish Mob originated in the United States during the 19th century, from within urban Jewish neighborhoods of the Northeast. Otherwise known as the Kosher Nostra or Undzer Shtik, the Jewish Mob is among the country's oldest criminal groups. Similar to the Italian and Irish gangs, the Jewish gangsters had a violent start in late 19th century New York City. Barbarism in the street was the modus operandi of numerous Jewish gangs, notably the Eastman Crew and Lenox Avenue Gang. Vicious fighting with Italian and Irish gangs for dominance was common at the time. Jewish Mobs experienced a Golden Age from the 1920s to the 50s, during Prohibition and after. Relations with Italian and Irish gangs were normalized and co-operative, with bloodshed finally subsiding. Alcohol smuggling, gambling and other rackets were facilitated with the Irish and Italians across the United States. Legendary leaders like Arnold Rothstein, Bugsy Siegel, Mickey Cohen and Meyer Lansky emerged during this period. Some of these gangsters directed international mob activity in the Caribbean and Canada. The Jewish Mob has been given credit for the foundation of Las Vegas in the 1940s and 50s. Partnerships with La Cosa Nostra included Murder Inc and the National Crime Syndicate, lasting from the 1920s to the 60s.Following World War 2, American Jewish mafia families declined around the country. The old Jewish gangs of the Northeast, Midwest and Pacific's major cities faded away. Economic conditions for American Jews improved post-war, with many achieving success in mainstream society. Urban enclaves were also gentrified while the Jewish population shifted away. Therefore, justifications for distinct organizations were erased. Many veteran gangsters and bosses were murdered, imprisoned or retired to Israel over several decades. Without centralized leadership similar to the Commission, Jewish crime had almost collapsed by the 1990s. Other emergent groups, such as Eurasian and Israeli mobs, have since eclipsed the original American Jewish mafia. New York City, Miami and Los Santos have experienced a rebirthing of Jewish gangsterism over the last thirty years. Most Russian and all Israeli mafia bosses in the United States are of Jewish descent. Jewish American gangsters on both coasts are either independent or affiliated with immigrant mobsters. Jewish criminals remain highly regarded associates of the Five Families in the 2020s.Although Jewish gangsters are still part of criminal gangs and organizations, they've assimilated into the mainstream American underworld. Home-grown groups are typically indistinguishable from the common white American criminal. However, so-called legacy mobs continue activity in Los Santos, New York City and Miami. These organizations work in isolation from Russian and Israeli mobs and don't normally recruit foreigners. They claim lineage from the first Jewish Mob families of the late 19th century. Traditional blue-collar crimes have mostly been phased out of the Jewish Mob, with financial crime and political corruption becoming the mob's mainstay. Police departments and the FBI consider the original Jewish Mob to be active and numbering in the several hundreds across the country. OOC:We aim to portray a small tight-knit group of Jewish American gangsters in Los Santos. This project depicts the remnants of the Los Santos Jewish Mob, which has existed for over 100 years In Character. We do not intend to become a multi-national crime group; foreign Jews are allowed but remain the exception. We also aren't wishing to become a sprawling faction at any point. We can be joined through IC interactions, or if you'd like to collaborate with our project, you can message damask / loanshark over the forum PMs. This thread is best viewed in Dark Mode.

    GOOD SHIT. HERE'S TO ANOTHER GREAT CHARACTER.
  6. Armed gang robberies are up (especially around Vespucci) and business interiors don't appear that lively. A lot of people will go to businesses, but particularly bars and nightclubs, and absently stand around without any roleplay. A lot of the commerce on this server really lacks any sort of social/cultural immersion. Other than that, RP has been getting stale for some players who I know.
  7. It depends. Other servers are seriously going to have to play ball if they have any intention of properly stacking up against GTA World. This server basically has a monopoly on text-based GTA RP servers at the moment. Although, I will say that I'm intrigued by Liberty City Roleplay and I'll likely try that server when it launches.

    I completely second this topic. Last year, roleplaying as a legal character was challenging at times due to the crime waves that you've mentioned. My character could hardly work without risking getting maimed or killed outside of his workplace. Some incidents were so ridiculous that two different people got gunned down on the same spot within just a couple hours of each other. Having a violent city in today's America is totally fine, but I find it's exaggerated to the point of broken immersion. What you've written about factions resonates with me as well. I've been on GTA World for over a year and I've made a point of actually avoiding factions, to the extent of refusing IC and OOC invites. I have made an exception to this rule only just recently. A lot of problems on this server would be resolved if it wasn't for the OOC controversy and interpersonal drama between players and their various groups.
  9. This is the best Eurasian OC faction out there right now. Good shit.
  10. Agreed. There's more to the Balkans than just Serbia and Albania.
  11. There are a number of Eastern European ethnicities that aren't represented as much. Among these include Romanians, Bulgarians, Slovenians, Croatians and etc. There always seems to be an abundance of Russians, Ukrainians and Serbs, but not many others. Eastern Europe isn't limited to what was once the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
  12. What are you even on about? There’s plenty of actual roleplay inside of nightclubs from both managers and customer alike, seeing as though I was part of it for some time. There are entire corporations on this server (WAVE and AMC) that produce this kind of roleplay. I have been to clubs in real life. Fighting does happen in nightclubs, obviously, but it doesn’t typically end with stabbings and shootings on a nightly basis. If this were to happen in reality, the nightclubs would be shut down. It’s happened before. A fair amount of nightclubs have been fairly dead before and part of this is because Los Santos has became significantly violent. Nobody wants to go there if they’re going to get shot in a DM event while stepping outside. Seen it before. The insolent comment at the end was uncalled for. Don’t get why you’re talking shit when you’ve never roleplayed with me before and were never around what the Vinewood Bouncers were doing.
  13. @orca112and @Ticklehave provided the reasoning that best relates to my own experiences on this server. From the perspective of someone who's been IC & OOC involved with the Los Santos nightlife for the past seven months; the city's became significantly violent. I found that the violent crime at bars and nightclubs was demotivating, and this was due to the immersion-breaking element. There were times where beatings, stabbings and shootings happened every single time my character showed up for work. Additionally, me and some others were Deathmatched a couple times for refusing people's entry into a nightclub. People don't want to log in and play, only to get roped into shitty roleplay or be on the receiving end of rule breaking. On another note, GTA World has opened Russian and French servers lately. I'm guessing a chunk of foreign players have gone over to those servers, which has somewhat decreased the playerbase here. Resultantly, the city will look more dead because there's now less players.
