El Bandito

Ah, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. If you got any personal images of the taxi war, it's time to share for the history books guys. Honoured to have played a part in this wonderful blood feud that went way too far. #TeamDan #RIP Bella and associates blackmailing Ulugbek over selling crack cocaine on the side.

Hell yeah + 1

Just seems like a lot of effort for a guy they just met who would barely have much evidence aside from his own injuries. I've seen cops ignore fights too and do nothing to whoever "wins" them. Could of just made it into a he said, he said situation and claim it was a mutual fight if the LEOs actually bothered to question anyone. IC I guess if it's an MC we can excuse some of this, since a lot of the RP is about them putting on a tough face in public for intimidation purposes. However if this was a mafia, then it would've been far worse of an escalation realistically imo over a single beating. The gangstalking afterwards would've attracted a bit of attention(If it was more than one guy stalking).

Stalking you back to the hospital is a bit weird too since they won the fight/beating. If they lost and you beat them up, then I could see them stalking you to attempt a rematch or just for revenge.

I think the beating is reasonable on their part, if they're portraying a one percenter MC that clearly values their bikes personally. However dumping someone into the lake while unconscious is basically attempted murder which is an insane thing to do over someone bumping your ride.

I mean irl people get assaulted and bullied over small things. Depends on what kind of character they're portraying on the part of the bully and the victim. Obviously if it's a violent street gang, then I imagine they won't be afraid to get their hands dirty over little things or they'd try to show off for their peers. Example: Yesterday my character had a banana milkshake thrown at them in a business for telling a gang affiliated girl to calm down in an open business. Instead of spending my character's entire day hunting them down like some crazed vengeful lunatic, my character simply expressed some frustration and shrugged it off after changing her shirt. My character runs more in organized crime circles and is less likely to escalate minor incidents into something more violent(especially in public) unless they're really pushed or can actually get away with it. However if my character was more of a gangbanger or just more of a hothead on purpose then yes. They probably would of tried to hunt them down and assault them.

Think they're talking realistically though. Script wise sure, since it's a video game and the fighting mechanics can be cheesed ooc.

You can still be a criminal and not harm or victimize "harmless" people. For instance drug dealers don't necessarily have to harm or kill anyone theoretically(at least not directly if we include selling hard drugs to vulnerable customers). Neither do money launderers, drug manufacturers, illegal gambling ring heads and weapon traffickers either. Not that there's anything wrong with robbing, mugging or intimidating "harmless" people if it's all IC within reason. But to say that all criminals by definition have to rob/kill "harmless" people or other criminals is a bit short-sighted. In real life there is a wide spectrum of different types of criminals involved in various non-violent criminal activities.

You have misunderstood because it's extremely unlikely that a pure 100% legal civilian character will be ck'ed out of the blue. The risk is further reduced if your character simply complies with every robbery/mugging/extortion and doesn't seek retaliation afterwards or during the incident. In comparison illegal characters are far more likely to be ck'ed since most sign over their CK rights to their factions and sometimes even umbrella factions. Additionally illegal characters tend to get into beefs with other illegal characters, which can sometimes build up to a CK.

It's basically an ooc punishment for not putting value on your character's life. It's not applied to all muggings or kidnappings gone wrong where the victim dies, but from what I've seen there's a slight chance the mugger/kidnapper might report the victim for not rping fear properly to get a ck.

Also if you run when someone has a gun to your head and you get shot after......that's a CK my dude.

I'd say if you were a non-criminal and a non-prominent citizen there'd be an extremely low chance of you being CK'ed. However that being said it's not impossible and it depends entirely on how you react to others. Say if you were being mugged by some criminals at gunpoint and then you yourself pulled out a gun whilst that was happening, then yes you'd be liable for a CK for not showing fear and you likely would be CK'ed if gunned down afterwards.

About time amigos.

I mean hey we now have the TV programs from GTA V in GTAW, so in my view we're already on the path to injecting some typical GTA zaniness into the universe. Not to mention that the real world has already drastically diverged from whatever weird universe GTAW is set in, as two world changing events are declared to be non-canon(Russo-Ukrainian war and Covid-19). So if we're trying to emulate real life 100% then it appears like we're already failing and we should live & let live. Being a character within the actual GTA universe sounds awesome, however that being said with everything there naturally needs to be limits and a moderate degree of realism. We should aim to create characters or content along the lines of like Niko, Michael and Franklin not Trevor(at least not for mass murder etc).

The problem here is that OOC many people see trucking as a career for bad roleplayers who just grind cash like it's an MMO to buy sports cars or mansions. I use to truck as my main job on my drug dealer character, however I never used the money to buy absurdly expensive things that don't suit my character's IC background. I thought being a trucker would go hand in hand with being a drug trafficker naturally and despite the anti social nature of the job I managed to get a tiny bit of interesting rp out of it. In the end I still quit the job to instead pursue a retail type job on my character. A combination of factors led to this including a fear of being associated with the bad types of trucker rpers who are in it for the grind, the anti social nature of the trucking companies, and basically the community's OOC impressions on truckers generally. For some reason being a bartender is held in higher esteem than being a trucker.

I mean personally I always the thought the best approach to aging up was just to do it when hitting IC milestones, rather than relying on the amount of hours you spent on a character. In a span of five months I aged up my drug dealer from 23 to 28 and roughly did it by one year every time a notable change happened in her life. However I do agree that aging up into an older(40+) character comes with it's own downsides to the social rp scene as most businesses seem to cater to the young adult clubbing scene sadly. With illegal rp specifically I'd just suggest focusing on being an independent criminal and/or associating/joining with organized crime syndicates, rather than street gangs since those scenes are more friendly to older characters. On a side note just because you can't join a street gang doesn't mean you can't still interact with them if they permit it. I mean you could always buy/sell them weapons, drugs and offer to mentor certain members in criminal activity if you're a veteran criminal(ala Franklin & Michael).

Property has been sold please L&A.

I mean illegal rp isn't exactly restricted to factions, so independent criminal rp is more than possible for any type of character regardless of race/culture(my character is Hispanic, but they aren't exactly in a faction). However at the end of the day for independent drug dealer rp specifically, if you want to progress you will have to make friends or at least connections with people associated with the major factions. That approach is pretty difficult because a lot of factions will be distrustful of outsiders(especially people from different cultural backgrounds), so you'd need to convince the faction that you're a reliable buyer or useful in some other way. Also pretty risky for obvious reasons, but if you score a good connect then you're basically set for a while.

Removed.

Is your character white? I mean I've been playing since December too, only as a Latina character. I mean while I have experienced some of the annoying stuff you mentioned from time to time, I have also been invited to join a cocaine dealing ring, asked to be a lookout during a deal(someone actually did throw a gun on my lap once) and have moved illicit goods from place to place for people. Bit lowkey racist, but I think race might tie into this too only because people ooc think that's a more acceptable race/culture for criminality regardless of gender.
