  2. This thread catalogs the development of teenage hopeful Jared Swartwood and co.
  3. I agree with everything I saw before reading what I just quoted above. This conversation really just went there. Not only are you accusing the server's staff of intentionally placing rules to inhibit players that want to portray certain races but you also are saying that they are also intentionally engineering a set of rules that somehow reflect how they OOCly feel about the races of some of these characters? Absolutely no evidence for that and it's just how you want to interpret these rules. You are steering the conversation into an area of the OP's original message that does not exist nor ever will exist because everyone would sniff that shit out before you could even write this essay over again. And before anyone is even going to start talking about racial or ethnic politics on an RP server forum, what an embarrassing thing to post. To say that people on this server are trying to push their outside perceptions on African, Asian, or any other groups for that matter. You're picking at an invisible problem and you think you can convince people that it exists by pointing at the "safe-zones"? If you're for real, this is a huge troll and oversight of why people play this server. People may have characters on GTA:W for many things, but if there's one thing I definitely haven't witnessed it's OOC-fueled racism in the form of digital blackface through characters. You need to really prove this accusation before trying to sound intellectual about it because this is some ice-berg level shit. You're absolutely right on restricted safe-zones. You're right that they create areas for certain factions based in them to be safe from what's outside, like castle walls enclosing a keep so to speak. You're also right that this in fact mirrors, and rightfully so, a major west coast American city where not only is it a huge melting pot but contains a history that is pretty tragic and should be reflected. But. When you and @King of Idlewood discussed the nature of why African-American based criminal factions needed guns and you said that it's because of the environment "shouldn't be brushed off as a gameplay strategy" is where that just starts to go all sorts of wrong. The first part is right, environment plays a huge role in a person's feeling or "necessity" to defend themselves. But you mean to tell me that factions who are based on groups, criminal in nature, of majority one ethnicity or skin color, are exempt from the rules just because you view them as inherently racial bias? Further more, you're actually the one implying that they don't have the capacity to decide if using a gun or diplomacy would benefit both parties, whoever they are. You cannot possibly make this assumption because there are so many different factions and situations between them that this would require evidence at a statistical level that proves that this is the case, and you don't have any of that. You just told people in 10 paragraphs that you take this game at a level nobody else does, and nor should they, because this is some crazy talk I just exposed myself to. I'm not going to speak for anyone else but myself so I'll say that based on what everyone else has been saying in response to the OP, the state of gang RP has always been tainted with people who either play to win which leads to poor portrayal and a cycle of toxic behavior that nobody wants to be around both in-game and OOC, which then bleeds the reputation of the gang scene of Davis, Rancho, and pretty much anywhere else in Idlewood as the last place you want to make a character at. Nothing more, no conspiracies or secrets there. Definitely no racially motivated character or server rules that make this a reality. It's nobody else's fault for their reputation being so damn poor than the players themselves. You still made some valid points, so I think if you want to accuse server staff of inherent racial bias in their rules you should probably make a server suggestion and tell them what you think will fix this issue you apparently see. But the last thing you should be doing is accusing people of engineering a race simulation with the rules, even though this isn't even remotely true.
