Biscuit Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I don't know what exactly it would fall under (probably modern-era considering the lore), but holy shit would I kill for an SCP:RP Server in general. One that preferably isn't filled with kids screaming "RDM RDM RDM RDM!" over their microphone and doesn't have admins flying around physgunning you cause you broke formation. Link to comment
orca112 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 80's, baby. Good music, questionable fashion and lots of interesting topics to pick up on. Link to comment
Ink Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Yeah I guess Al Capone, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, John Dillinger, Bugs Moran, Baby Face Nelson, Joe Masseria, Machine Gun Kelly, and all these guys were pretty cool and all... But you want to know a REAL mob boss? Marcus. LICINIUS. CRASSUS. The stone cold gaze of a true kingpin. Now this is a guy who didn't need to come into your business and ask you who the owner was before extorting you. He already knew, because he owned everything around you. This guy had plenty of rackets under control including incredibly profitable slave-mining and slave-trading operations. This guy was the original real estate flipper, he bought condemned properties from proscripted goofuses at a fraction of their cost, and you know what, he liked buying cheap real estate for them sick flips so much that he was like "fuck waiting for people to be proscripted." Crassus's biggest extortion ring was the 300 IQ play of taking all those thicc slavey boys he had with him as a makeshift fire brigade, probably intentionally setting fire to people's homes, but more importantly showing up to any burning house and trying to haggle with the owner to buy the house on the cheap before he puts out the fire. If the home owner refused to sell, Crassus would keep lowering his offering price and let the house burn to the ground. And then, he'd hit up the neighbors--because Roman houses were usually built together--and be like "yo your neighbor's house is on fire and he doesn't care enough to get it taken care of... you got a real nice house here sure would be a shame if its value hit 0 because your neighbor's housefire burned it down..." That. Was a gangster. Crassus was such a gangster that even though he had a nobody family who all got CKed by Marius and Cinna in a massive purge of Rome, he still ended up being one of the three most powerful men in all of Rome--and being the most powerful man in Rome, during ancient times, meant you were the most powerful man in the WORLD. This man had nearly every court and politician in his pocket. When the Third Servile War broke out with our main homeboy Spartacus, Rome approached Crassus and asked the dude if he'd be so kind as to raise, you know, just one or two... maybe EIGHT ROMAN LEGIONS out of his own pocket. You know, nbd, just raise an army of LITERALLY 36,000 SOLDIERS and pay for their equipment and training using his own money. Seriously gangster shit, and Property Management could not even begin to catch this guy with a case for his assets portrayal. Crassus was so unfathomably rich at a time when money bought you literally everything--it's hard to compare exactly where his stack of money measures with titans like Bill Gates, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Khodorovsky, Bezos, or Carlos Slim, but it's fair to say that he's worthy of being listed in the same breath as these richest men of all time. The Roman sesterce is pretty hard to convert to USD because the 10:1 figure by the admins just doesn't hold water. And you know grills? Forget your bullshit gold grills cuz. Diamonds, fuck that. Crassus owned gold mines. He owned diamond mines. That was nbd. Aquamarine was where it was at in Roman times, and you can trust Crassus had more aquamarines than he had bitches. You think that's gangster!? The OG Marcus Licinius Crassus got the most badass gold grills of them all. Crassus personally invaded Parthia, and was such an absolute unit that he turned down 40,000 men from the King of the Armenian Faction at the time, nah, he wasn't about that shit, he didn't want to owe any favors. He came up on a small Parthian army and he was like "ez clap" but, lol, Parthians were really good at VDMing and they fucked his shit up. He wasn't able to get a forum report handled in time because personally he felt like it was really unrealistic RP of fear that a smaller army was able to defeat his army, especially since the Parthians CKed his son. He tried to negotiate a truce over /b, and those sneaky Parthians killed Crassus's officers and captured him in the middle of a parley. Big F in chat. Oh, yeah, Crassus's sick golden grill. We don't know for 100%, but accounts suggest Crassus was executed by the Parthians pouring a bunch of molten gold down his throat. BALLER. tl;dr: Give me an HD ancient RP server. It'd be sick.
