SAMP is a community driven game. People love to point fingers - a lot of the replies to this thread; people are very subtly pointing fingers at styles of roleplay that they don't like, or even this boogeyman that they dub as "idlewood roleplayers" or "newcomers" while, in reality, these factors were always here. The gameplay loop hasn't changed since I played LSRP in 2014. It's the same formula; less players, of course, but LSRP has not changed one bit. What changed is the community... And if you wanna speak on broader terms - the internet itself. We ended up with a culture where being passionate about something online became condemnable, something to laugh at. A 180 turn from the "nerd" culture of the 2010s during which LSRP was flourishing. Caring about roleplay is now "cringe" because: "it's a dead game, why do you care?", but the same people saying so, quickly turn around and talk about "roleplay standards" when it concerns their rival factions. To add onto that, any concepts that don't mimic oldschool, "grimey" roleplay are shunned for this exact reason. God forbid a teenager that wasn't there for the server's peak finds your roleplay "cringe", God forbid you stray away from the norm whatsoever. The norm being: self-insert gangster characters neutered into being breathing, walking, tasteless stereotypes copied straight from r/LaGangbangin and pasted onto LSRP; in terms of skins, lingo, and personality. Widespread insensitivity killed the internet, and it killed SAMP. Yes, there was a "golden age" when the people playing this game were still laughing at nyan cat memes and discovering rap songs in-game to download onto their ipod. Will that golden age ever return? Probably not, but there's nothing we can do about it - making this thread entirely needless. There's still some kid out there trying SAMP out for the first time in their life, and the best you can do to bring this golden age of yours back is, give them a chance before they either get mixed up into another copy-paste streetgang faction, or find more enjoyment in messing around as a mallrat.

Stay strong bros.

Main post updated.

This faction offers a dynamic and immersive landscape for black OCG roleplayers to flourish in. While we're accepting of new characters, old ones with existing history are encouraged to seek us out and roleplay under our umbrella. Queries about joining should be sent to @boris1 or @sk8txrfu by forum PM.
