praying on opps downfall

HAHAHAHHAHAHA WHAT THEEE FUUUUUCK

Recruitment for the faction is done in-character, and you will be expected to follow the server rules while associating yourself with our image. Be respectful to those around you and dedicate yourself to your characters development within the faction. The aim of 38th Street is to create a realistic sureño environment in El Corona. The Discord is accessible for those who are interested in joining the faction, we're currently open to new members and encourage those who are looking for something fresh to try it out, if there are any questions feel free to contact @risen or connect to the Discord, where you can find some information about the faction and ask any questions you may have.

I'm not the biggest fan of bureaucracy but if you've put in the effort to set up and promote a business that requires door staff but come up short when it's time to open, that's an oversight on your part. You wouldn't /openbiz a bar without somebody to serve drinks. Do these club bouncers have to be the best roleplayers in the world? No, but they can really heighten the experience of your business if you mingle with the right crowd. In the Killeen Mob, we were a bunch of street-level toughs and would recruit muscle for our club out of our nearby gym. Like actual nightclubs, the door staff would usually give female characters a free pass on the ID check just to fill the dancefloor, taking the risk of letting in patrons that weren't yet old enough to drink legally. For Sova on Star Street, the bouncers are sourced from the local Armenian Power gang members. Without the presence of CEB, we'd probably still have hired bouncers but the fact they actively enforce gives the RP a dimension of risk. A degree of corruption / fallibility should be allowed to make CEB more interesting to roleplay with though. Right now it feels too caught up in the robocop mentality the law enforcement factions have been battling since time immemorial and OOC faction rules are only going to hinder any movement away from that. You're supposed to be characters first and foremost, not some homogenous hivemind of iPad drones.

Trey Lil Trip Wallace's first blood. LT and Tiny had came into lots of trouble with a new face around the hood, Darren Blaze. Darren was always not knowing his place within the group, he kept getting up on top of others specially DeShawn Tiny Redeyez Knox, one of LT's closest homeboys. That being said, Darren was already under their eye and sight, waiting for any more trouble of him to cause. By the time, Tiny and LT spotted him messing around with their homegirl, Delilah DayDay Banks. Darren was only able to mess up more and put more heat on his head that even the big homies started to take place in the situation by the time, putting Darren's to the consideration of theirs. LT n Tiny had no better opportunity than now to hit their hit, speak up with higher ranks within the gang. Bigger homies had longer vision further than two youngsters, their word been to only discipline him and that's it. After his DP was over, something took place off the view of LT, Kendra Trip Burke came to inform Lil Trip about it, giving him her own word to already get rid of him. LT hesitates when it's all real infront of him, it's what he wanted but he didn't know it will be all of a sudden. However, he takes the chance, to not look like he's afraid of doing such even though he's all shook up but he manages to hide it and ignore his feelings to get the job done. LT is already thinking of his whole life, he keeps his right hand tucked to his waistband lowkey, not knowing what he should do by now after the overall of the situation broke down on his head already, there's no way out by now. He's got to stick to his words. Darren was told to get treated at the nearest hospital around, it all sounded cliche already but what can he do about it. Darren Blaze was taken care of, infront of DayDay on purpose. Lil Trip was laying low after the situation, when he was seen outside after this incident, he was real worried, not acting normally, not able to communicate as easy as he used to.

I stand behind what CEB brings to this server and that is structure, something we often lack in many areas of roleplay. If you commit to running a business, it shouldn't be hard to dedicate time to managing it and focusing on the employment side. If your business fails to offer something interesting to the players, it will naturally fail to succeed, just like in real life. CEB is simply there to remind you to keep it structured.

The server isn’t dying because of CEB, it’s dying because business owners aren’t showing effort or offering anything new. Enforcement isn’t the problem.

Hi, CEB officer here. I won't talk about the realisticity and the RP quality of what you offer too much, since people already talked about that.. We don't create the laws that we enforce, so the discussion shouldn't be about us, but instead whether the laws (or rules) themselves need changing. The only thing this current discussion will bring is more hate towards CEB, from people who we issued fines to or closed their businesses. If you want us to let people open businesses unrealistically without guards or let them have secret dungeons under their businesses, so be it, just change the laws. You said that RPing a guard is boring, but I see it is as a great opportunity for new players to meet other people, make connections and also get some money, instead of grinding truck deliveries. As for us closing down businesses - While I do feel bad when closing down a business because it does kill the roleplay, we are not doing it for every violation, only for serious violations or after multiple warnings or uncooperative business owners. Personally, I try not ty close a business down immediately after it opens. We also try to do it in a way that brings more roleplay, which works when a lot of people are around. I also see it as a positive thing, because it brings more interesting RP that you don't see every time a nightclub opens. If you think RPing a guard is boring and repetitive, and not many people want to do it, don't you think the same could be said about CEB if all we did is inspections and forum work? What's the point of it anyways if it won't be enforced? I don't have an issue if it is decided that we should not be closing down businesses, and instead deal with it in another way, but to say that all we need to do is forum work... at this point it makes more sense to close the faction altogether.

La gang !!

I gotta disagree with you on a few points as person from CEB management. First of all this is a hard roleplay server, and if we’re serious about building a realistic economy and community, then businesses gotta follow rules and licensing. Security for clubs, casinos, strip places whatever, it’s not a “luxury” it’s literally a must. Those are hotspots where gangs, mafias hang around, fights break out all the time. If you let that run without any control it’s just chaos, and Code Enforcement ends up being pointless. Second, the whole “not enough players” thing really isn’t a reason to ignore the rules. If someone doesn’t have the resources to run the business (like security), then the answer isn’t just opening anyway, it’s either find an IC solution (hire someone, make ads, cooperate with another group) or wait until you can do it properly. Otherwise it’s just comfort RP, and LS-RP never was about that. Third, Code Enforcement doesn’t “kill” businesses, it actually makes them more consistent and higher quality. Think about a new player joining the server, walking into a club or casino with zero order, no checks, no security. Does that look like serious RP? Or is it better when you got rules, inspections, processes that make the city feel alive and like an actual place? Also, like person from the leadership of Roze Enterprise, we offered free staff for all kinds of businesses. We covered the cost ourselves, spending like 10m+ every month just for wages and organization. And still, many players hated on us just because our staff tried to keep order and leave a good impression for new players. Players who just joined, who needed support and encouragement to stay and actually build something here. No matter the outcome, our team of 20 people is never gonna stop trying to improve civilian RP and support new players. We’ve been doing this for the last 7–8 years, in all kinds of ways, and we’ll keep doing it as long as this server is alive.
