This is strictly to showcase my character Ted Mick and a few pictures to showcase his journey of life, from being a regular fourteen year old boy to now an eighteen year old man with a a bunch of felony charges all for the reason of Loving His Color, and getting mixed with the wrong crowd.

This gallery is for anyone who roleplays either homeless or a drug addict; and would like to express your creative outlet on a niche type of RP. Enjoy.

Crazy White Boys and the variations on the name (Vicious Whiteboys, Insane Whiteboys, Dogtown White Boys) are all different versions of the same thing; White gangsters in prison or on the streets clicking up together to work more efficiently, albeit in the same loosely affiliated groups of homies, just with more organization and structure. They don't even have to be white power, in fact most are just peckerwoods. Not all of the gangs that share the name are connected, either. It's just a way of identifying your homies on the inside, differentiating yourselves from the unknown or the enemy, and a way of keeping contact once members get released to get drugs or other contraband such as tobacco or phones smuggled into the facility. This thread follows one such prison gang on the inside, led by Orville "Basher" Green and Charles "Chucky" Petrulio. The gang was formed independently, with no connection to other Crazy White Boy cliques.

This thread follows the development of Steven 'Skinny' Pletcher.

Orville "Basher" Green and Charles "Chucky" Petrulio founded the Crazy White Boys gang out of necessity to get a hold on the revolving door of skinheads and peckerwoods in and out of Twin Towers Correctional Facility after being raised to become the "representatives" of their respective sub-groups of white gangsters by the powers that be. Using their connections, they brought most of the young white inmates under the CWB banner and immediately began indoctrinating them into the gang lifestyle. They used the promise of brotherhood, easy money, or a shank in the gut to convince people to "earn their letters" by doing whatever they asked. Ideology is a recruitment tool for these gangsters. They will say anything and everything if it means an extra pair of hands for whatever dirty work that needs doing, which means they often use white supremacist imagery to lure in impressionable youngsters with a chip on their shoulder. They then get these indoctrinated inmates to sell drugs, commit violence, or even to smuggle contraband into the facility, making a hefty profit in the process.

Short Description: This suggestion outlines the various ways players can manufacture and procure methamphetamine. Props to @iAMTemple for coming up with the Crack Cocaine/ Addiction System overhaul guide as it was the inspiration to this suggestion. Methamphetamine (Meth) is a man-made (synthetic) chemical unlike marijuana which grows in the ground. Manufacturing meth is an art form in itself; injury and death during the “cooking” process is common. Impurities and foreign substances can not only ruin your product it can kill you and your operation in a flash. Consisting of a variety of household chemicals, over the counter cold medicine, and other readily available materials the low cost; high potency high; attracts people from far and wide. Formulas consist of upwards of thirty-two different chemicals used to make a unique blend. Forms and Usage Powdered Meth - Often less potent form of meth it's ground up for the purpose of being snorted or injected. Usually off white-yellow in color. Crystal Meth - Solid, glassy translucent form of the drug that is formed upon dissolving the powder in solvent. Generally higher quality/potency than powder forms. Crystal meth is typically smoked or injected. Meth Tablet - RESERVED - WIP Liquid Methamphetamine - RESERVED - WIP Cooking Methods & Potency Shake-n-Bake Also known as one-pot meth; it's produced using a bottle and a few chemicals readily available. Can be made on the go with little to no setup. Users often make this as they travel or drive. Your typical meth lab requires hundreds of pseudoscience pills, stoves, beakers, and other equipment, none which are needed here. Sacrificing quantity and safety this method is typically used for personal consumption. Requires no expensive equipment and can be made rapidly. ITEMS - 2 x Water Bottle + Cold or Diet Pills + Option A [Ammonia and Lithium] or Option B [Phosphorous and Iodine] + Solvent. INGREDIENTS - Water + Wood Ash + Lithium & Ammonia or Phosphorous & Iodine + Cold/Diet Pills + Gasoline/Lighter Fluid Produces Powdered Methamphetamine ~ Shortened high when compared to Crystal meth; Health and other bonuses slightly reduced in both potency and time duration. Affect duration and TIME WIP S-N-B Process (Total Time ~ 3 to 6 Hours) Combine ingredients into Water Bottles and shake. No heating is necessary as the chemical reaction does most of the work. Individuals must monitor and shake as needed. Players do not need to sit and wait idle; movement is encouraged as it's one of the benefits of the small scale operations. Your entire setup is within the plastic bottle. Higher risk for player damage and failure due to lack of proper equipment. Thoughts and concerns While it doesn't require a burner the cook is required to /shakebottle frequently after combining all ingredients. If not done properly you risk ruining the end product and ending up with nothing or having it cause serious bodily harm. Success yields a set number of powdered meth based on the level of your cultivating skill. Player is required to /shakebottle every 6-8 seconds during the cooking procedure which lasts 1 Minute 30 seconds or PRE-determined time Because of the simplicity with this model your yield is never large and often unpredictable. Mixing and matching ingredients sets will cause a failure, Example - Mixing Lithium and Phosphorous will not create meth. Failure to do so yields a failed batch(losing all materials) and physical damage. Lab (Small/Large) Your tried and tested setup for producing methamphetamine. These include hardware that is not easy to move and hazardous in itself. Consisting of equipment similar to an industrial kitchen or brewery you'll need to get yourself situated gear wise before you even consider cooking your first batch. These range from small to fully integrated large scale multi-million dollar setups. Larger, more laborious setup, yields higher when cooking properly. REQUIREMENTS- Iron Pot + Mixing Bucket + Blue Barrel + Burner + Propane tank INGREDIENTS - Water + Wood Ash + Lithium & Ammonia or Phosphorous & Iodine + Cold/Diet Pills + Gasoline/Lighter Fluid Produces Crystal Methamphetamine ~ Strong, addictive high that affects the central nervous system. Health and other bonuses take immediate effect but are short lived. Users face a very high probability of becoming addicted rapidly. Lab Process (Total Time ~ 48 to 72 Hours) Combine Cold/Diet Pills in a Mixing bucket with your solvent, (gasoline (Gas can) or lighter fluid) - Mixture must be heated so your propane and Iron Pot now come into play. - Heating properly with a burner and Propane produces Unprocessed Meth Base. Taking your newly acquired Meth Base you must now combine it in a blue barrel with Wood Ash to neutralize the remaining acids. After a period of time the mixture binds and allows you to separate the liquid from the end product. Processed Meth Base is formed after X amount of time. Take Processed Meth Base and combine with Solvent (Gas or Lighter Fluid) in another blue barrel. A - This mixture is left so the solid crystals can form and separate from the remaining liquid methamphetamine. (24 IG Hours) B - This Mixture is strained and dried; resulting in lower grade, Powdered Methamphetamine. After 24 hours the Processed Meth Base is reduced and your final product, Crystal Meth is now formed. Thoughts and concerns While more expensive this method produces a larger quantity and its in a crystal form, a higher potency version of the drug that works longer and stronger. Like brewing alcohol there is a set process and it requires the equipment to stay stationary. Failure to follow the procedure will end in failure. Higher Cost - Higher Risk - Higher payoff. Individual labs can be formed to make the specific components in a larger scale lab. You may spend two days stock piling unprocessed meth base so you have a larger quantity for a big cook. You need to weigh your options, would you rather wait 24 hours and let your crystals form thus making a bigger profit with higher risk? Or do you process it right away, strain it off and save yourself sometime by settling with powdered meth? Mixing and matching ingredients sets will cause a failure, Example - Mixing Lithium and Phosphorous will not create meth. Failure to do so yields a failed batch(losing all materials) and physical damage. Ingredients include; Ephedrine/Pseudo-ephedrine This is the single hardest ingredient for meth manufactures to obtain. Now banned for over-the-counter sales in the United States it also limits the amount one person could purchase each month. Customers are also required to provide ID and it must be retained for upwards of two years by the vendor. Obtained VIA New item #1 – Cold Pill “An over the counter drug that is used to treat minor to severe cold symptoms." New Item #2 – Diet Pill “Used by millions to fight fat, these diet pills will give you the edge to cut the pounds." [Option A] Ammonia (Anhydrous) Ammonia in its purest form is required (Anhydrous = Free of water); when used in the manufacturing of meth it’s mixed with Lithium to create a chemical reaction. Frequently obtained from fertilizer or house hold cleaners. Obtained VIA Existing Item – Phosphate. A key ingredient in the cultivation of marijuana. [Option A] Lithium A key ingredient used to fuel the chemical ONLY with Ammonia. Lithium is obtained most commonly from cutting and stripping of batteries. Caustic and deadly. Obtained VIA New Item #3 – Battery Available in both vehicle and consumer form; either can provide a proper source for Lithium needed in the "Nazi" style of cooking meth. [Option B] Phosphorous Commonly alternatively sources because of the accessibility, you find Red Phosphorous sourced from matchboxes or road flares it’s highly flammable but required when manufacturing meth with Iodine. White phosphorus can be used as red turns to white when heated. Red is harder to find these days as it’s illegal in the US. Obtained VIA New Item #4 – Matches – Outlined in Matches, lighters and fluid [Option B] Iodine (Crystallized) Often sourced from Hydriodic acid this can also be pulled from nutrients and fertilizer commonly used on farms. Obtained VIA Existing Item – Phosphate. A key ingredient in the cultivation of marijuana. Equipment Needs Equipment pulls from the existing brewing system as its very similar. These items can be obtained from local hardware, farmers market (Grape seed) or convenience stores. Iron Pot Water Bottles Blue Barrels Mixing Bucket Burner Propane Tank Lighter (Suggested Item) Commands to add: /cookmeth - Begin the process of manufacturing the drug, used in both shake and bake and regular lab style cooking. /shakebottle - A crucial step when mixing shake and bake methamphetamine. The lack of a heat source requires constant shaking to mix the chemical cocktail. Items to add: New item #1 – Cold Medication “An over the counter drug that is used to treat minor to severe cold symptoms." New Item #2 – Diet Pill “Used by millions to fight fat, these diet pills will give you the edge to cut the pounds." New Item #3 – Battery Available in both vehicle and consumer form; either can provide a proper source for Lithium needed in the "Nazi" style of cooking meth. New Item #4 – Matches – Outlined in Matches, lighters and fluid. New Item #5 - Powdered Meth - A less potent form of meth it's ground up for the purpose of being snorted or injected. Usually off white-yellow in color. New Item #6 - Crystal Meth - Solid, glassy translucent form of the drug that is formed upon dissolving the powder in solvent. New Item #7 - Unprocessed Meth Base New Item #8 - Processed Meth Base How would your suggestion improve the server? My suggestion provides a realistic portrayal of how methamphetamine can be processed and derived on GTA:W. I for one am interested in the RP surrounding this drug and its integration into both the criminal and legal side of the server. This will create another avenue for drug dealers and more work for our fine LEO's. The government will also need to expand existing laws to cover production and procurement. Additional information: This is a WIP topic that I plan to expand on pending player and staff input. I'll be expanding to add addiction and drug effects in the coming week.
