Roleplay Summary — It’s the day after the shooting that happened between PBS and 38ST, and Elisa’s starting to feel the weight of it all. She can’t get herself to sleep right or even eat, instead she just stays in the house and spends most of her time laying around in bed. Her mental health is at its lowest point, and rather than feeling proud or a sense of accomplishment about a rival being gone, she keeps second guessing if she’s really made for this life. The events of last night play in her head like a broken record, no matter what she does it keeps coming back. After a while, she finally decides to come outside and kick it with the homies, but not because she is necessarily feeling like so, only because she wants to act like she isn't affected by the recent shooting. Elisa runs into Matthew, and the two start talking. He lets her know that they got pressed earlier, and they speculate it's members from 38ST, probably looking to get revenge for the death of one of their own.

Hi everyone, In a flash August is over! We're thrilled to share updates regarding what has been happening across the community. Ranging from Illegal Faction Team updates to our Staff Update. One thing I've personally enjoyed over the past month from the community is the increase in the number of media outlets and content from the streets of Los Santos. If you haven't seen the articles yet, you can see them in the Internet subforum, amongst many other things others are up to. Without further ado, our September Community Update: Illegal Faction Team It's been another terrific and productive month for the Illegal Faction Team. We've brought on a number of new members to the Illegal Faction Team following recent LOI's being submitted and reviewed, we're grateful to have had so many veteran applicants to eager join the team. We've been busy hounding developers with script ideas to help improve realistic roleplay around the server and offer different avenues to conduct certain things. I won't tease anything just yet, but be sure to look out for any new features coming soon! We'd personally like to thank the developers that are assisting us and allowing the teams members to engage in thoughtful discussions that could improve the server. A friendly reminder that all of the schemes that we offer are open, if you believe these interest you and want to see if you fit the requirements please check out the posts here: As some may be aware, Barons Motorcycle Club was locked and archived this month alongside Serbian Transnational Criminal Organisation (STCO). We'd personally like to thank every member and leader of these factions in their efforts to provide the server with high quality roleplay. They've both made a huge impact on the server during their time as official. Their efforts in maintaining a positive and active atmosphere will be missed and we hope to see these faction and their members around someday. With that being said over the last few months we have have had our eyes on a particular faction for some time. They've gone through a lot of ups and downs in recent months, and overall the Illegal Faction Team and Council are impressed with their handling of everything thrown at them while still maintaining a impressive activity level; bringing much needed high-quality street level roleplay to the Idlewood area. We would like to congratulate this faction on becoming the servers newest official faction. Congratulations, 59th & Harlows Bloods. Finally, we'd like to mention the the Illegal Faction Discord now has a functioning ticket system, and we encourage any queries/questions/concerns you may have to be raised through these tickets for a swift and easy response. Whether it's clarification of Rule of Engagement, queries/concerns surrounding your interactions with other factions, or questions about our available schemes - these tickets the best way to open a direct line with our Illegal Faction Team who are eager to help. For an invite, click here. Company Team This month we have incorporated a new employee income system. This system is quite simple , once per month, active companies will receive a monetary grant straight into their company bank account. This money can be used by companies to pay their employees an hourly pay check. Our hope is that with this addition, more people will be interested in joining companies as they are able to guarantee income for employees, and on top of this, it should also allow companies to pursue more unique roleplay ideas, whilst still being able to support their staff. The company team has also grown this month, receiving support from some additional staff members. Tester Team Applications We're looking for individuals to join our team.

S/S Playboys 13 The Playboys 13 (PBS13) are a long-running Sureño street gang based out of Idlewood South Park, a residential neighborhood located in the south-central region of Los Santos. The set has roots going back several decades, with multiple generations having claimed the gang. Though known for its deep traditions, PBS13 has gone through various changes throughout the years. Newer cliques and younger members continue to represent under the same name, but often with their own hint of flavor and identity. These cliques may differentiate through different graffiti styles, area codes, or block numbers - yet they all claim the same hood and fly the same flag. PBS13 is known for wearing red and blue bandanas (depending on the clique) as a visible sign of their affiliation. Many members also have a variety of different gang-related tattoos. While many of the original members came up through the old school-to-street wave, the younger generation is most of the times pulled in through local tagging crews, parties, or just by hanging around the area. Idlewood South Park has long served as the heart of PBS13 territory. Though initially built as a space for families and locals, the park has slowly evolved into a hangout spot for the Playboys Gang. Residents once used the park for cookouts, basketball games, and Sunday hangouts. But over time, increased poverty and neglect turned it into a hotspot for gang activity. Law enforcement has tried to contain the gang presence in Idlewood South Park through community sweeps, but with limited success. PBS 13 v BGLCS: 56th Street CLS Worst Nightmare. Around August 15th, 2020, at about 10:35 PM, 21-year-old Daniel Galeas (a Playboys 13, 56th Street CLS affiliate) was seen walking home with their friend after grabbing food from a JP Taco's truck. As they made their way down Bee Hives, a masked individual dressed in black clothing emerged from an alleyway and fired multiple shots at Galeas, striking him in the chest & abdomen. Daniel collapsed to the floor while the suspect fled the scene in a black sedan. The ambulance arrived shortly after, transporting Galeas to the All Saints Hospital. Unfortunately, despite efforts of trying to save his life, Daniel ended up passing away during surgery. Law enforcement officials have claimed that the killing is gang-related due to the recent shootouts in gang violence across the Idlewood area. This incident started a series of retaliation attacks over the following weeks after Daniel Galeas' death, leaving two more individuals dead and several others in critical condition. In response, Chief Anthony Rosario created a task force to stop the gang violence and bring justice. After weeks of research & investigation, police arrested 23-year-old Travis Boyd, a known affiliate of a local gang to be responsible for Daniel Galeas murder. Investigators are continuing to dig through the case for potential links to other crimes around Idlewood.

Welcome to the monthly Faction Newsletter. This is your monthly update on the latest developments within the faction scene. This newsletter is designed to provide transparency by sharing high-level insights from internal discussions, spotlighting a featured faction each month, and highlighting any groups reaching candidate or official status. We’re excited to offer a closer look moving forward at the inner workings of the team and the ongoing progress of the illegal faction community. Stay tuned each month as we share updates, celebrate community achievements, and spotlight the factions shaping the future of the illegal roleplay scene. Introduction of Faction of the Month Through discussions between the Faction Team (FT) and Illegal Faction Councils (IFC), we have decided to introduce a Faction Spotlight on a monthly basis. Each month, IFC and FT members nominate and discuss standout factions during the last week of the month. From these nominations, tallies are gathered, the top four factions are identified, and a final vote determines the selected faction. There's a number of factors considered, not only the quality and appearance of each factions threads but most importantly, their impact and interactions with the community in-game. Earning the monthly spotlight provides more than recognition because it also comes with tangible benefits. Spotlighted factions may receive approval for larger-scale scenario schemes, gain access to faction complexes and businesses to further roleplay and become eligible to apply for drug schemes or other schemes offered by the Faction Team. This program is designed to reward not only official factions but also highlight the contributions of unofficial factions, who are an essential part of the community. We recognize that unofficial factions have not always received the credit they deserve, and this system is intended to address that gap. The Faction Spotlight is an opportunity to showcase creativity, collaboration, and community impact, and we encourage all factions to push the quality of their factions to be considered for this spotlight. Faction of the Month We would like to extend our congratulations to Verona Shoreline Crip, the recipient of this month’s Faction Spotlight. This faction's roster is filled with both veteran and newer community members, whose leadership have once again continued to inspire and entertain others with their gritty depiction of street-gang roleplay. The Illegal Faction Team & Council have been thrilled to watch this faction develop since they opened in June of this year and hope to see much more from them in the coming months. We encourage anyone wishing to get involved with Verona Shoreline Crip, to reach out to VSC's leadership: @Original Cranky., @AP. or @Roderick_Mays Since they opened their doors in June, Verona Shoreline Crip, has delivered outstanding roleplay and made a consistently positive contribution to the server. Notable highlights from their thread include their in-depth and realistic character development and high quality screenshot cinematics, which truly deserves recognition this month. We intend on rewarding factions monthly through this newsletter, with an incentive of their choosing, Verona Shoreline Crip's leadership will be contacted or can feel free to reach out to the Illegal Faction Council to discuss their chosen in-game incentive. If your faction would like to be considered for the next spotlight, continue pushing your creativity and standing out in meaningful ways. Key areas that can set your faction apart include strong character portrayal, showcasing unique media or roleplay, and maintaining a clean administrative record by following server rules. We look forward to carrying on this tradition and recognizing another deserving faction in the coming month. Every faction has an opportunity to be recognized so keep building, innovating, and contributing to the community. Internal Updates We would like to welcome the new community members who were recently inducted into the Faction Team. For those inducted, their names are mentioned in the section below. Moving on, we would also like to once again congratulate 59th & Harlow Bloods for reaching official status, which was previously shared in the Community Update Newsletter. As a reminder, all the schemes are currently open as follows: Faction Drug Scheme — OPEN Faction Prison Scheme — CLOSED Strawmen Scheme — OPEN Solo Scheme Drugs — OPEN Weapons — (Refer to Strawman Scheme) Melee — OPEN Scenario Scheme — OPEN Business Scheme — OPEN If you would like more details, you can find additional information SA-MP Illegal Available Schemes. There have also been recent updates to the Rules of Engagement (ROE), which you can review [here]. Additionally, the Faction Team will be making some changes to the MyFace rules in the upcoming weeks. We would also like to give a special shoutout to faction-owned businesses that continue to contribute positively to the community and remain consistently active. This month shoutout goes to Rirakuzeshon, operated by members of The Santa Maria Collective. We believe their efforts in creating an authentic atmosphere are worth recognizing, and we will continue highlighting such businesses moving forward. Lastly, there are several internal discussions underway that we’d like to share with the community at a high level. These highlights provide a glimpse into the topics covered during our monthly meetings and areas currently being reviewed by the team. If there is something you’d like to see added to future discussions, please reach out to @Scumpy, who will ensure its included if not already raised within our monthly meetings. If you'd like to join our discord, where a ticket system is in place allowing you to directly contact the Illegal Faction Team with questions or concerns, you can join here. Chopshop System There is currently ongoing internal review of the structure and how the current system is set up. The goal is to prevent abuse and make sure that the new structure covers a better reward structure but also take other things into consideration such as Legal Factions availability. Drug Related Updates There are discussions happening around the drug system and how we can improve it. The goal is to explore more waves of refining how drugs work along with the effect. The ideas are still on-going, but it is still worth mentioning for the community to get a general idea of things being discussed. Other Topics Review of fraud-related features and proper use of existing features. Discussions around rules of engagement and defensive roleplay standards. Evaluation of schemes, including processes and addressing inactive holders. Drug scheme limits rules changed and adjusted for Drug Scheme holders.

Dutch-Moroccan Connection Moving Weight Through the Ports De Mokkro Koppel is a tightly knit Dutch-Moroccan criminal network that has quietly risen to prominence since 2021. Operating mainly in Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Amsterdam, the group specializes in the smuggling and distribution of cocaine and hashish, running well-coordinated supply lines through major European ports like Rotterdam and Antwerp. Their operations are notable for blending street-level control with sophisticated logistics and money laundering schemes, allowing them to maintain a low profile despite increasing police scrutiny. De Mokkro Koppel’s smuggling operations are run with precision, relying heavily on corrupted dock workers and trusted couriers to move shipments concealed within legitimate cargo, making it difficult for law enforcement to intercept. On the streets, they maintain control through loyal runners and enforcers who ensure debts are collected and rival groups kept in check. Like Houssine Ait Soussan & Associates, De Mokkro Koppel functions similarly within the same Mocro Maffia framework, combining street-level influence with careful coordination. Armed with smuggled assault rifles and equipped with burner phones, they operate with discipline and efficiency, avoiding flashy public displays. Despite their quiet approach, De Mokkro Koppel has been linked to several violent incidents, including targeted shootings and armed confrontations, reflecting a simmering turf war beneath the surface. Their success is also driven by extensive money laundering through small businesses and involvement in credit card fraud and document forgery. The crew follows a strict code of loyalty and silence, ensuring that internal conflicts remain contained and that their operations continue without attracting undue attention. Qualitative reports and ethnographic studies confirm the elevated level of deviant and criminal behavior in European gang members. These studies also show that gang-related behavior can be expressed in many different ways in Europe. In some instances, European gangs are mainly involved in nuisance and minor to moderate forms of delinquency, like fighting, harassing people, vandalism and petty types of theft (Gruter and Vesterlingh 2001). In other instances they are involved in a wide variety of delinquent behaviour, including serious offenses like robbery and group violence. An example of a more serious delinquent, but also very versatile gang was provided by Van Gemert and Fleisher (2005). In an ethnographic study on the mainly Moroccan ‘Windmill Square group’ in Amsterdam they noticed that members of this group were involved in many forms of minor delinquency but also in serious crimes like burglary and robbery. The more serious offenses were not conducted by the whole gang, but by separate smaller co-offending groups. Nuisance and harassments, on the other hand, seemed to be a group phenomenon. Also violence was a group phenomenon, because in conflicts with the outside world, loyalty to group members was the rule. The Moroccan gang that was described in the Netherlands (Van Gemert and Fleisher 2005), did have instigators and more experienced members. At the same time, gang members expressed that no one can tell them what to do and ridiculed others that were trying to ‘play boss’. Migration and marginalization in Europe Moroccans and Turks, among others, decided to stay and most people in these groups are now first or second generation (Engbersen et al 2007). This is the moment that Colombia law enforcement caught the Netherlands' most-wanted fugitive who is accused of drug, murder and terrorism charges. A multi-national task force unit headed by Colombia's National Police Anti-narcotics Directorate arrested Said Razzouki inside an apartment Friday in Sabaneta, a municipality in the department of Antioquia. Aided by the FBI and DEA, Colombian law enforcement was able to track down the 48-year-old Moroccan-Dutchman. Authorities say Razzouki employed some of the same tactics used by Pablo Escobar to evade capture before he was killed during an operation in 1993. Razzouki had been hiding out in the apartment for at least six months, according to Colombia network Tele Medellin, and had not contacted his family for eight years. When authorities raided his third-floor apartment, he reportedly tried to flee through the window but was shot and detained. Razzouki, who was wanted since 2018, kept a low profile and had not spoken to his family in eight years Dutch authorities accuse Razzouki, who has been wanted since 2018, of drug trafficking, homicide and terrorism. The Colombia police said a surveillance unit was deployed and discovered that Razzouki did not use social media networks or the internet and would only spend a maximum of three hours outside his home. On Fridays he visited a local mosque. 'We practically had to return to techniques such as the Search Bloc used to locate Pablo Escobar, since this individual applied mechanisms to hide and evade the authorities,' said General Jorge Luis Ramírez, director of the National Police Anti-narcotics Directorate. Ramírez said Razzouki was linked to Clan del Golfo Cartel [Gulf's clan] and allegedly shipped large quantities of cocaine hydrochloride to Europe. Razzouki was transferred to Bogotá where he received medical treatment. Razzouki was allegedly the right-hand man of Ridouan Taghi, 41, who had been on the run for years until his arrest in Dubai in December. Prosecutors accuse Taghi and Razzouki in the murders of five people, including career criminals and a crime blogger. Houssine Ait Soussan, commonly called Hoes, born in 1979 has Amsterdam (The Netherlands), is a former president of the club futsal ZVV 't Knooppunt, businessman and criminal dutch original moroccan. A large-scale drug trafficker, he leads the life of a businessman at the head of a futsal club. Houssine Ait Soussan was notably a great figure of the Mocro Maffia in the Netherlands and in Belgium. He was distributing tons of cocaine towards allWestern Europe. Houssine Ait Soussan was sought after by for many years Interpol for his involvement in numerous assassinations and kidnappings, the majority of which took place in Antwerp and Brussels in Belgium.

Roleplay Summary — The feud between Playboys and Harlow Bloods is well documented at this point, with altercations happening almost on daily basis. From constant attacks on members and non-affiliates in the South Gate area, to tagging up walls with ''KAM'' (Kill All Mexicans) and ''No Spic Zone'', it was only a matter of time before things escalated further. Elisa, already in a bad state of mind, was easily peer pressured into participating in the attack, and the group managed to do it. However, due to her struggles with driving properly, their car was spotted leaving the crime scene, and the group was apprehended the same evening. Related Post(s): Turf Dispute & KAM?

Peckerwoods MC History. Peckerwoods Motorcycle Club was founded in Santee, California in 1978. The city of Santee is located in San Diego County. The club are a whites only motorcycle club. The term “Peckerwood” is often used as a derogatory term in the deep south of the USA in the early 20th century. It describes someone who is white, most likely poor and undereducated. The word is a reversal of the bird name “Wood Pecker”, of which a variety has red on the belly. The reversal, as can be seen in the Peckerwoods patch has the red on it’s neck, indicating it is a redneck. Members of the Peckerwoods ride Harley Davidson motorcycles and have vests which often include patches of the iron cross and SS bolts. Peckerwoods MC Patch, Motto. Colors. The Peckerwoods patch is made up of a woodpecker bird who has red on it’s neck/head area. The bird is wearing a leather vest, boots and looks as though it is going in to fight holding a piston.

Roleplay Summary — What was supposed to be a regular drug deal turned into something else, as Elisa and the homies ended up in a semi-lengthy conversation with members of the Hustler Crips. In the end, one of them offered to talk politics at a later date, so Elisa saved a number and decided to take the news back to Sicko and Suspect. They discussed what the next move should be, and during the conversation Anthony also filled them in on some politics regarding the rivalry with Thirty Eight Street.
