not having an irs is discriminating against good criminal roleplayers that understand and apply the concept of money laundering either automate it, add a server rule or apply the concept to existing factions by allowing them to establish financial crime bureaus. bro dudes straight up hit a lick and drive to the legion square bank with the same car and the masks still on to deposit, its unreal

im not crying you're crying

admireme is a buyer's market, stop buying pictures at 30-100k and people'll stop selling them. dont mald at the people hunting down moby dick, go mald at the degenerates that actually justify that sort of unfettered capitalism by buying those nudes another hot take straight out the oven, no matter how much you love your 3090 super, it'll still run ragemp worse and less stable than some dude's 4 y/o laptop 1050ti and theres nothing you can do but live with this information for the rest of your life

buy low sell high, the second hand market correlates to what you try to do with stocks minus the opportunity to use leverage to lose your entire soul to options trading besides the fact that the car market on the server is so saturated that the only way you'll sell a car is if you sell it at such at atrocious loss that the second owner'd be confident 100% he'd make a solid profit if he bought it.

first three pages a wider discussion of why there arent illegal character females and why social justice hasnt given them equal opportunity in the underworld literally zero discussion why all the other non-faction characters that commit crimes, from your civilians with their DUIs, to your evading racers, the people committing crimes of passion or opportunistic crime arent roleplaying there. come on people, you dont have to have an "illegal character" to end up in the pinta.

a lot of the bashing security firms get is undeserved, admittedly. but a lot of it isn't. feels to me like all of the big ones currently around have a lot to learn; not the ceos or the leaders of said firms, but the ground members. the whole facet of roleplay is a team effort and people who join either of the big three to try and get involved in the roleplay are highly impressionable. all it takes is being trained by the wrong person and the roleplay becomes stale for the guard, irritating for the people they're meant to interact with and that's when people come in swinging with the bad takes which border on faction bashing. another issue that goes unmentioned here is reliability and dedication. from a business owner's perspective, most of the firms insofar are just mills throwing bodies at a problem without actually providing anything besides the presence of their members; there's nothing passive and zero foresight in many of the actions i've observed in my over two years on the server outside of whatever i managed to catch as twitches from executive security's corpse. it's a shame they were gone, but their most dedicated clients have found ways to adapt and have largely survived without them. and yeah, my forum pms are open if there's curiousity on how to improve, you'd find the amount of experience one gathers in that roleplay circle staggering, especially when credentials are mentioned

if most of the cliques on this server support this take no wonder theres a disconnect. what motivates your character? money? power? staying out of prison? moving out of the ghetto? is it an ideological or political desire? is it seeing their empire grow? or is it, according to this atrocious take, to start shit as it's 90% of your roleplay? because you're bored, cant be fucked to develop a character because thats gay, cant be fucked to connect with others in the illegal community or sit down and figure out a profitable scheme? motherfuckers act like violence is the motivator to crime. no, its not. motivation is always greed and making money. a rico act on this server cant come soon enough if "causing trouble is literally 90% of gang rp" and "its impossible to prevent attention being drawn to your hood (so who cares)" have even been considered a viable stance to write out on a forum thread

a gram of weed is a pretty big blunt, id like to be able to split that into two or three when my character's out and about +1

+1 but wont ever happen, civil forfeiture law on this server is a joke and these vehicles wont ever be seized

keep the tazer as is but disable /sa for 45 seconds when you're tazed; there's your fix. if you're the type to /sa out of a tazer shot only to run when cops are emoting piling on you, you shouldnt be posting on this thread or playing gta v in general, as its a 18+ title

glad to be of service 🤝

and the fact that a dead body is disgusting 15 minutes in. bro im not touching that dead guy just to pat his waistband down, are you insane scarcity is a good thing though, isn't it? shouldn't people be aiming to build connections to get the things they want, instead of expecting to be given those things because the impression of every albanian teenager is that "i can buy a gun on every corner bro in la bro, trust" this is a domino effect discussion that'll affect a lot of things on the server. people'll stop starting stupid beef because they'll have to work together and because they'll be out of guns the moment the pk war starts dropping bodies, gun suppliers will be incentivized to plug the shortage instead of selling their monthly allotment to the same people they always do for a greater profit. people who cant bear the thought of getting a connect fall behind and there's an incentive to network while the dudes on the bmxes waiting for a shootout to happen in their barrio so they can try and finesse a gun 15 feet from a cop get fucked. its a win for every side and the people that roleplay it out properly are a minority. make it a refund system so staff can review the circumstances and decide which gun is okay to loot and which isnt.

an unpopular opinion is that low and mid-income businesses will only open and stay open once you actually decide to work in them i get it, you dont think that roleplaying making coffee or flipping burgers is fun. i get it, cleaning tables isnt fun and that isnt engaging roleplay unless you're being pressed into it for the benefit of a group, faction or clique but holy fuck, dont say these businesses are rare when no fitting character wants to pick a hustle working there. a person dealing with server bureaucracy and justifying every cent in their character's accounts to get the business, donating every month to be able to post ads, has donated for object slots to painstakingly map their venue over a few weeks/paid a mapper to do so on their behalf, only to then have to figure out a team of roleplayers willing to work an unglamorous and repetitive job for 4k/hr is difficult as is. they gotta deal with local politicking on the street they're on too, unofficial groups crossing the map on very poor extortion attempts (this has happened. you don't do it, but in 10 openings, one instance is enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. even if the people doing it do not belong in the area) and now people complain that the business the owner begged pm for, either to develop from scratch or to be granted custody of, isn't catering to their characters showing up in full hood uniform is a bit garbage. the real question lies in why popular businesses that used to exist in those areas (davis had a mexican food spot that was really popular, i remember. close to adam's apple, opposite of the vanilla unicorn. vespucci had white widow and a bunch of other spots; a dispensary, a convenience store, etc) dont open anymore, or do so rarely. if that gets answered, you'll know why the only businesses that appear to be opening on a consistent basis are the high-class ones and the ocg-ran venues
