Looking for Guidance on Faction Roleplay Etiquette and Advancement

[emiliasen0612]

Hello everyone,

 

I’ve recently returned to LS-RP after a long hiatus and I’m looking to dive deeper into faction roleplay. While I’ve dabbled with unofficial groups in the past, I want to commit to a proper faction this time- specifically something criminal or gang-related. I understand there’s a lot of nuance when it comes to etiquette, character development, and interacting with other players, so I’d love to get some insights from the veterans here.

 

1. Faction Interaction Etiquette: What are the key do's and don’ts when joining an established faction? How can I balance being a newcomer while contributing to roleplay without stepping on any toes?

2. Character Advancement: How do you naturally develop your character within a faction? I don’t want to rush anything but still want to make meaningful alteryx certification progress.

3. Earning Respect IC and OOC: Any advice on how to gain trust and respect from both faction members IC and OOC? I know this can be tricky as a newer or returning player.

4. Tips for Gang/Crime RP: If anyone has any solid tips or resources for creating believable and well-rounded gang/criminal RP characters, I’d greatly appreciate them.

 

I’m aiming for a balance of immersion, story progression, and enjoyable interactions, so any suggestions or advice would be fantastic. If there are any guides, threads, or even YouTube videos you’d recommend, feel free to share!

 

Looking forward to hearing from the community. Thanks in advance for helping a returning player get back on track!

What's good homie, there is a few guides here, and on the old forums too

I don't  know why player created guides are so hard to find as well, should be moved to a more appropriate section where it clearer to find
