Sniekily

I've been off GTAW for a while now, but was part of MCF during what I would call its Golden Age. I was never the most active, never an LCN heavyweight, but was blessed to be in Frank (legend) Palma's crew, which was just a group of sound guys having fun with the concept. This was how it was across the board in MCF. Sure we had our issues, occasional bad apples, but I choose to believe that 99% of people in there had the best intentions, as I think 90-ish percent of the entire server population does too. It's weird to me that the main argument people are giving here is realism's sake. As many have pointed out, it's a game, get over yourselves. As others have pointed out, there are plenty terribly done concepts to point out, even more individual characters to point out for garbage portrayal, and overall situations that never should have happened in the first place (MCF-ETOC war, but that's a whole other can of beans). I don't wanna point at other people's portrayal of MCs, Surenos, Eastern-European OC, etc, because what does it matter? If someone wants to mostly ERP during their time on GTAW, I think that's weird, but fucking let them, unless they're breaking the rules surrounding it. Why can't we judge everyone on an individual basis. That's what the report system is for, it's what the RPQM reports are for, it's what faction reports are for. You weed out the bad apples, you weed out the shit portrayal, and the quality rises as a whole. But to claim that banning LCN as a whole makes the server better as a whole, is an incredibly egregious statement. A lot of comments I see here are arguing 'it doesn't fit with the lore of the server'. Well, whether you like it or not, Conti and MCF were both 2 big players in the illegal scene of the server for a good long while. It's part of the server's history, of it's actual lore, made IC'ly through roleplay. If we're gonna use lore as an argument, then an LCN family should definitely be allowed to happen again, because it already has happened before through IC events, IC actions by people's characters, and IC happenstance that created just the right conditions for it to become as big as it did. Not even mentioning what others have, namely the amount of businesses, legal jobs (MMA, port, construction), and rackets that were set up legitimately, providing RP for all involved, extending far beyond just the MCF roster. I think people be allowed to portray what they wish to portray, as long as they portray it right, and give everyone else that freedom too. From my time on GTAW, I'm of course disillusioned from the notion that that will ever happen, but come on, everyone roleplays to have fun. Why not let people who want to RP LCN right, have theirs? ps MCF-ETOC war fucking SUCKED
