  1. Anyone with half a brain should be able to tell that this is the only peckerwood group on the server that portrays an authentic gritty take on society's underbelly, where stateraised criminals struggle with drug addiction and an outlaw lifestyle. Anything else out there is PG-13'd up or Jack Harlow LARPing, that has nothing to do with SoCal's crankster gangsters and prison culture that represent the aura of white criminals in the state.
  2. I only /maskname with the surgical mask if I have sunglasses on and a cap. I think that's fair and you won't be able to tell who the person is or any of their facial features.
  3. Username: american.patriot.59 Comment: Soros paid all these morons $50 each to show up to this protest!! The leaders of antifa who showed up here were the same ones that stormed the capitol but were let go so it can be blamed on others!!

    Surrealism

    I expected to open the thread and read about people RPing melting clocks and checkered floors leading into nothingness.
  5. It's a good informative guide overall, but I disagree with the examples about stealing cars. I just can't imagine criminals stealing two cars just so they can break into a house to steal a TV. The cars combined are probably worth more than anything they'll leave the house with. AFAIK, most burglaries are on the petty crime end, so we shouldn't encourage players to steal cars under the pretext of good role play. Covering their car plates (for potential cameras), being dropped off close by, or parking out of view are better alternatives for the average criminal.
  6. The people acting like they just discovered fire by complaining that when they "log off their character would actually be at home to deal with alarms and intruders" are conveniently ignoring the fact that most residents in-game don't go to work so realism goes out the door. Regular people are usually gone from their home 9-5 (or some other shift) five days a week. That leaves an 8 hour window when your home is uninhabited. Or is everyone in the city a hermit except when they go to "work" as a "bartender" for two hours a week in some night club.
  7. Mexican DTOs need to be the top down distributors of drugs on the server. Those types of groups should get the most drugs because of their concept. It will give an incentive for people to role play them if they're interested in moving dope. That way we can simulate the drug game being ran by Mexicans instead of seeing the city being ran by random Italians/Albanians/Polish/Irish/Greeks/Serbians/Latvians. This is the type of shit I'd be most interested to see in-game if we want to pretend we're in Los Angeles.
  8. KAOS (Kids Against Our System) were a punk gang that formed in the Hollywood area in the 1980s. They had Hispanic members but they weren't a varrio and they weren't Surenos paying taxes to EME. They used the '13' before it was a way to show allegiance to EME. Fictional or not, there's no point portraying this gang if you won't have the punk twist, the LADS influence, or do white gang politics. You're better off just role playing tagbangers turned sureno (hundreds of cliques to choose from). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZYIGG4/
  9. I believe you can have a decent following for a punk band as long as it stays active. I can think of around 20+ characters that are into punk, there's just never any events that bring them all together. Maybe a solid band/business/project/faction can help. I've yet to witness a hardcore punk band done right too; all the ones I've seen either weren't real punk, were too pop/clean, were racist, or didn't try to organize shows (or died out before they could). It would also be cool to see backyard gigs happen one day instead of relying on clubs/promoters. All ages, cheap beer, noz tanks, no security/staff, just DIY. Shit like this.

    Map changes

    Are there no other places for projects in that area other than where the Davis Mall is? The Slauson Swap Meet/Super Mall is lowkey iconic. It'd be kind of weird to remove its in-game equivalent.
  11. I think the easiest way would be to give the burglars some generic inventory part (similar to Car part) that's called something like Appliance x1 or Electronics x1. Then they can proceed to sell that at pawn shops, hardware stores, electronic stores that are interested. Then script a new command for the business owners/employees to sell/scrap the Appliance/Electronics part for cash (so they can make a profit after buying it). Why? Because no one buys microwaves, coffee machines, TVs, laptops, and shit like that. It can be role played as being sold online or to an NPC. You would just need an item and a few commands scripted. A low-income to regular household should yield burglars a profit of at least around a few thousand. Better/bigger/richer households can do more (so an extra few items). Having an item on you or your property also gives a leeway to investigate stolen goods. Criminals complete a burglary of a small apartment and are given Appliance x1 (could be role played as whatever). They go and sell the item at a business and negotiate something between 2500-3500. Business owner/employee types a command that sells the item for a set price that's always randomized between 4000-5000. That way there's a little profit incentive but not too much to become super rich off of stolen appliances/electronics (unless a lot).
  12. You won't be homeless for long cause I'll pull up and give you 20k and a place to stay
  13. IDK why people argue semantics re: soccer's popularity in the US. No matter where it's ranked, it's still seen as a little girls sport (coincidentally the only people I knew who played it did when they were kids and they did have overprotective moms) and as "soft" (players diving). People aren't gonna watch Chelsea vs. Arsenal at 8 AM and the MLS sucks compared to other leagues. It does have its large following of course, but your average guy groups are gonna talk about football (Rams, Chargers, Raiders, 76ers, Cowboys, etc) and the other bigger sports. In-game it's the other way around. People that act like everyone should be talking about Mo Salah instead of Kyler Murray are just mixing their real life interests with those of their characters.
  14. We need a Walmart where all the kids can work before they clock out to go shoot some opps. The self-checkout lane can host unscripted MMA fights between people of all backgrounds and weight classes. The characters from Blaine can come to walk around barefoot or ride mobility scooters. The power trippers can make a Walmart faction and be the shift managers bossing regular employees around. The Loss Prevention team can all be armed guards that shoot you down in the parking lot after you shoplift a bag of Halloween leftover Reeses cups. Mobsters can come steal all the shopping carts and sell them to pawn shops for scrap parts. The possibilities are endless.
