  1. those in your head are great canals. going baldly harder, blumkin my pumpkin.
  2. Having a hot spot is always attractive, mainly for new people that comes into the server and wants to find activity - I suppose civilian activities are always better for new players to start with. I do agree with this, the hot spot ideas, but I have in mind that it's an area faction responsibility to create it's environment and all around it. To keep it alive, I mean. Like you gave the example of K-Town, that's a good example of players coming together, and I doubt that there isn't a faction within that community, and that's my point: If factions would put as much effort to keep a civilized environment, things would be as we wish in this topic - and that's not a criticism, tho, it's more like a suggestion. I know some factions already do this, and it's not really that easy, mostly because when somebody gets into a faction, they don't really want to be walking around the street and chit chatting, they want to get involved, but they should really re-think about it, grow a civilian personality before a criminal mind and get involved more like with the community that area has, so then he'd get close with the faction itself later, after a good development. Despite all of that about factions, having only a hot spot might be dangerous, as we've seen how must of that turned out in sa-mp servers. We ought to look for something different here, we have a huge map with a lot of people to spread around. Having small communities, IMHO, would be the best to do. I exemplified factions because it's easier to grow a little community when you already have an attractive group in an certain area, but that can be started with common players too, with civilian characters, grow a personality over there, develop things around. I have seen a few try but almost none help or get the interest to hop in, even though they complimented and say the idea is great.
  3. Going from houses up hills to living in a Motel? How's the brittish say? That's grand, ay? You'd fairly say Alphonse is on his worst level, down hollow, most vulnerable. And with a son? He's actually lucky he ain't got no enemies. Now, losing the Aldington's power is really something we didn't expect. How'd things turn out that way? IRS put really deep in his ass this time. He can barely get interest risen for his company. Depending on somebody to make his name, depending on a son to find him a place to live and having nothing above your own head, barely your hair. We'd wait something better for this, you know? But I don't really know what to expect- you're in this low, at bottom, even depressed you'd be.
  4. Now, raising a son must be really fucking hard. Imagine then trying to model your grown ass new son? I mean, he is what? Twenty three? Fuck. Alphonse is got a lot on his hands. We heard his lawyer got in the city this weekend, we don't know if he was trying to bail out from Alphonse, but he delayed an answer by purpose - who knows? We surely don't know everything, yet. Dude's always swearing, making noises towards his new grown up son, and now to his black lawyer. Do you think we'd get him on hate crime for these aggressive words towards a black man? We could the lawyer late. We know he's not really the best, anyway...
  5. I mean, it's hard to be a father, right? Imagine then if you have never planned to be, now that's what a call a difficulty level. At first you may think it's a scam, the bitch and the son of the bitch just wants your money. Then you're in shock, dealing with visitations inside the prison, having your son coming by to know you - and all you can see is him behind a glass panel. Fuck, that's harsh. But he seems to be figuring that out, because after all of that, you end up having a new friend - maybe a new hand of work too, in this case. Now, Old man, look at my life... I'm a lot like you were.
  6. He had just got out of jail. Fucking lawyer left him waiting, he had to call over his son to catch him. Imagine that? You leave to the free world, and the free world gets you more stressed than fucking jail. Ain't that something? At least he still has somebody, and it's a son. From what I heard in this story, basically Alphonse didn't even know the mother's name when Joe reached out to him. Joe then got back home, told everything to his mother, and guess what? She tried to sue the motherfucker. Alphonse Aldington on the hands of just another bitch - she was a hooker, I heard. The world is right, that's what I always tell people, because even though criminals get away with crimes, life always tend to fuck them over somehow. Then he became a daddy. Now daddy is always busting his son, asking for him to do chores and even what they call missions - what the fuck, right? But as I said, at least he's got somebody.
  7. Actual labor characters. It's just so sad to see almost none of the players developing working characters, even if they're low level criminals, that's still a thing. You'd have a job for a moment, as a quick fix, if you needed, until you actually get into it. But people always just pretend to roleplay this. They don't actually get an IC'ly job for somebody and start doing actual labor, working hand and all of that. And, come on, it's pretty interesting to see a character develop himself out of a broken an ass to getting money. We barely see that too... Those are the most underrated roleplay, really, besides the whole jail/addict example which of course are not only underrated but needed.
  8. It starts right after the trial against one of the biggest importation companies - and no, this time they weren't really importing drugs and shit. So, there was a fat asshole and a journalist in the back of a yellow cab. The mustache of the Muslim taxi driver on the rear-view couldn't say if he was looking at them or just driving on, it was just hot. Hell kind-a hot. The fat guy was wearing a pretty expensive suit - we could say about to 20 hundred bucks on that suit. He was sweating, and barely had hair on his head. Fuck, he was not good looking, but he had other ways, as it seems. You could only hear his stuffy voice going loud - "It was about Friday, 5th of January, wasn't it? Or was it February? Ah, they both sound the same, give me a break - The thing is, at the beginning of 2017, I was released from custody. They had me in for 4 days. It was jail, man, there was smelly people and hookers. Street fucking hookers. They asked about the cocaine in my car, and they had my name and my company's. They asked questions about the company's income, and I took the Fifth. I didn't even know what I was stopped for, and they stripped me all the way up to down. And I tell you, that cocaine? It's not my problem if my brother is addicted, alright? That is a health care problem! The government should deal with it!". And after listening to that, I'm pretty sure even the cab driver knows who that fucker is - That's Aldington. Alphonse fucking Aldington, and he's talking about Charles Aldington, he's pretty well known as his shady brother. Known for all the shenanigans that would go down in every where he'd be. He wouldn't be scared of jail, he actually been there some times, and probably know some of the hookers Alphonse is talking about. The thing is, that guy was getting interviewed by one of the biggest magazines in Los Santos, and they would put every word he say in paper. You know why? Because he's got his ways with words. He is almost a politician, well educated, so much that he knows how to fool the IRS as a professional. His company, Aldington Imports & Exports was being trial for securities fraud, corporate fraud, and money laundering. And as funny as it sounds, things weren't going good for the Aldington Brothers at the time they committed their crimes. First of all, it's probably never a good thing to do business with your family. The last time this was a thing, the FBI had almost all of the Mafias down and in jail for a long time, really long time. And when they started that it was because they got locked up for other crimes. When did it become a solution to be a criminal? I mean, they were just like mischievous kids. They got about to two years for battery assault after beating up a trucker for money. And right after they leave jail, they think they can run their father's company and just solve it all avoiding taxes? Hell no. THIS is America, buddy. You can not avoid taxes - neither extort truckers, of course, this isn't '50 Jimmy Hoffa era. But these guys were dumb, and it's not cool when influencing dumb people talk. He continued with the interview, telling all about how the government wasn't liking how much money they were making while being good white people and not giving it back to the people - "So let's say I really did avoid taxes, huh? That don't give a damn right for them to take out people's job, right? Look at the many people that will go unemployed if we lose this?! This is non sense!", and on he goes with his stuffy fatso voice. But that's just a shortage. In less than a year, after he won the trial and got away paying just a small fee, his brothers tried to show that they didn't learn that lesson. Alphonse and Charles had a little brother. The little brother was a lost kid from Detroit, where the family actually is from. The kid didn't want to go to college, neither get a job. Their mother just sent him over to his brother to do something with his life. We once heard of him in a situation. Some dude got into an argument with Alphonse over payment for his transports with Aldington trucks, and after all, he paid whatever he wanted and left the place. Later that day, we got Charles and him, the kid, it was Pete they called him - They stole and thrashed the dude's car while taking pictures of it. They got away with two days in jail for that. That was when we got to know Peter Aldington. And, as I said, the magazine wanted to publish Alphonse's words as it's a good way to make profit in the news business. We didn't want that. And we could say Alphonse and his brothers were helping us out - not directly, of course. These guys use to work with the police as a last resource, but they still do at some point, ain't that funny? They met with a really smart guy. A black guy, for what this matters. He was a business specialist, if you can say that. But he really had hands for that work, and he was the one that kept these three guys out of jail while doing dirty money business with importation and exportation in the docks. He was the manager. We only go to know his name later, when he was already making big contacts for the Aldington Corporation, as they were starting to call themselves. Aaaaand, I assume you have heard of the term 'white collar', right? Not the good one. White collar crimes. They began to be popular in the 40s, and after that, we been hunting down big corps and their evil suits. There is a saying in this field of investigation that goes like, if it's too good to be true, it usually is. Basically their company was doing too good, thanks to the black guy - and oh, he was Isaac Hilton, a soccer fanatic and proud to be a black entrepreneur. He associated with the Aldingtons, and guess what? He managed to get these guys a lot of money through the wrong way, and all of that while keeping it clean. And, when they wanted to do dirty work? They'd call a gay blondie for that matter. He would mess anybody's face in the blink of an eye for talking loud to the Aldington. He was their hiring gun - Leon Porcher. They were too clean, and had it all set. But we were waiting for the right time... One week before the magazine was going to publish their interview with Alphonse Aldington on the cover, we busted them. It was during working time, noon. They were having a meeting with some shady people from Downtown. We knew them too - it was a group of clumsy mobster, we wouldn't even call that Organized Crime, really. We blasted through the door, and two or three men had firearms and shot at us, but they were down really quick. And one of them was Leon Porcher, Alphonse's best hands on dirty matters, unfortunately. What lead us to them? It was easy. Hill wasn't perfect, he was just good. The IRS sent us a paper about how Hill was doing his maneuvers to deal with all Alphonse's problems, and we also had some cues on Porcher - we basically used their best guys as a work case and Charles - that mess. Two days before that meeting,the LSPD caught Charles in an incident where he accidentally killed a prostitute in the act. He was drunk and reacted badly with the cops, he tried to fight them both and made a really bad decision of trying to go for one of the cop's guns. He was shot in sight and died. With the IRS papers, we could keep Alphonse and his group in for a long time, even if they would pay for his damages - which was funny, because they couldn't afford it after all. His company was in a deep debt after the IRS papers was released, and they were going through some financial trouble after a good ending. In the end the magazine gave up on publishing their interview as Alphonse, Peter and Isaac were caught for racketeering, money laundering - again, bank fraud and wire fraud with shares of the company. That got them around only 4 years in, each, with a huge debt to pay afterwards. Isaac made a deal and got his sentence reduced for 2 years. He increased Alphonse's time for plus 2 years, and gave in all of the company's fraud and other companies they'd work with. He left in 2019 and was hired as a columnist for a news paper. Peter got out after the family's lawyer managed to released him earlier, and you won't believe - he got out in the end of 2020 and ran away with all of the secure fund Alphonse had with both brothers, and is probably in Europe by now, from what we know. Guess a lost kid is always gonna be a troubled lost kid, right? And the good news is that Alphonse is about to be released this year. I don't know what you guys shall wait for, but I'll keep doing my job, you bet. Surveillance on the Aldington Family and part of their group during a business trip to L. Vegas. Out of Character Information The whole group context follows on In Character events from other server(universe IC'ly) - and it's a hell of a good reading too, if I were you, I'd give it a try - and we plan to continue it here, and let it go with what happens. Despite the group name being highlighted as a Gang in it's title, we're not necessarily an explicit Criminal Group, our characters are more of a white collar criminals, it's only a title, let's say something the investigators would name. That also doesn't mean we could not evolve deep into crime, but we'd like to take it step by step and totally In Character. We like to have a good role playing environment and keeping it totally In Character during our plays. We are also not really accepting any scripted membership to the group - that means if you want to role play with us, you'd have to go In Character and develop anything that can make you reasonably part of the thing, and we play under the server rules at all time. We like to see things being developed In Character, and to deeply involve our character's life with the environment we're playing in. You still can contact any of us for guidance if you really want to join us ICly. Keep in mind that this is just something we're doing for fun, and we are all grown up people by now that only plays in their little free time - for fun. So, that might say we'll not be fully active, but still are gonna keep a decent activity to keep the group alive enough for us and other people role play with. Have fun! Hope you enjoy our role play.
