Engelbert Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I prefer gang IF I rp a criminal character. It's just that the scene is flooded with second hand quality factions lately. I am not bashing or anything, quite the opposite. The opening thread alone hints how much effort people want to into roleplay. Least name the gang after streets of LS. Link to comment

yemaya Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Personally I enjoy mob RP as it is a little more controlled compared to gang rp. Link to comment
Kyleb Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Absolutely love LCN RP. Never really done gang RP, just isn't really my thing. Mob feels like actually got to strategize and fear going to jail vs gang rp it doesnt really matter. 1 Link to comment

You'll just have people try and rip things out of godfather or something. A gang with a poor portrayal? Just people ready to up a gun at you over a small thing. This basically nails it. I've seen both (on this server and others). Mob RP that was just a joke, with parodic guidos interpreted by people who saw a mafia movie once and OOC'ly think they're experts now 😛 It often ends up in unpleasant RP for everyone... But also saw mob RP / crime syndicate RP that was just amazing with super cool concepts and portrayals. Interestingly, the second kind most often ends up shut down by the illegal team lol Same for gang RP. Shitty gangs that are built in 10 minutes, start a shootout, then mass CK, then a new gang (that is a copy of the previous one), then shootout, then ... is just flat-out boring. I've also seen gangs who were there for the long run, interactions were super cool. Link to comment
matt Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I love Mob RP and much-prefer it over gang RP. Another thing that makes me love Mob RP is a new-type of Mob RP even though I don't mind the standard Cosa Nostra, Baltic Mafia RP type of scenery. Link to comment

It's why I likely won't ever get into illegal. You should give illegal RP a try, I’ve been roleplaying as an illegal character my whole time on GTAW and haven’t spent any of that time responding to a forum report against me. If you follow the rules of the server, you’ll be okay. Back on topic though, I like to RP a mixture of both. Gang RP is solid but Mob RP is where I originated from.

Legal Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Both are pretty awesome, but gang roleplay feels more organic/harmonic and require less effort from the roleplayer. Mob roleplay is often poorly portrayed, and makes the character look like a cheap Tony Soprano. There are some roleplays that gets the best of both worlds, like eoc and bgf for example.

Gang RP most likely ends up somewhere on the reports, it's for people who like to shoot all the time and other shit. What do you do guys? What's your niche? They both have their ups and downs, in my opinion anything will be fun if you have the right circle of people around you. Some people know how to avoid the bullshit and some don't. Link to comment
authentic lifestyle Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Illegal scene consists of an unsupportive FM and a lot of people who can't properly portray a character in the ghetto and decide to cry in the report section when something doesn't go their way. If you find yourself in the report section more than your faction thread, please retire from gang roleplay. 2 Link to comment
