Hey all, As we announced earlier this month, we're opening up the Community Forums to everyone tonight! We did our best to set up all boards that are necessary for now, if you feel like something's missing then you can share your thoughts in the General Discussion topic on forum improvements. We did stress-test the forum, but nothing really compares to real-life traffic, so please bare with us in case of any issues, we'll resolve them as soon as we can. Character Applications I'm sure you're wondering if you're going to be able to create a character before the server launch and the answer is - yes of course! We're already working on a new and improved application system. The applications are set to launch in advance before the server opens for you to get your character ready. In order to not overwhelm our team with handling applications, we're going to open Early Access Applications on the 19th of October, for everyone who's a "Early Supporter #2" or higher tier on Patreon at the time of submitting their application. This perk is also a replacement for the Community Forum Early Access perk, which becomes invalid tonight. We don't currently have a date for when the applications open for everyone, but I'll make sure to let you know in advance. Kind regards, Martin

Nakolki (наколки in russian) meaning tattoos Background and tradition During the 20th century in the Soviet Union, criminals maintained a culture of tattoos to indicate their criminal lifestyle, their career and ranking amongst other criminals. This was well-spread among the prisoners in Gulag camps and spread out to other prison entities. This is soon to be a tradition with almost a hundread years long history, the practice of criminal tattoos first started to appear in the 1930s, reaching the peak point in the 1950s after which it slowly started to decline, due to Nikita Khruschev's new policies. Krushcov tried to eradicate the criminals from the society, thus he introduced extended prison sentences for known criminals, those that identified themselves with the tattoos. In the same time, the traditional criminals that formed the Thieves in Law aka Vory (Воры́ в зако́не) as a response to the Khruschevs new policies started to enforce their criminal code, making sure that the ones that were unworthy of the tattoos got them forcefully removed. In the 1970s the tensions had risen to the boiling point, due to Vory enforcing their code and rules too much. At this time, prison authorities often threw Vory and legitimate criminals who enforced the code in the same cells, most of the time alone with multiple convicts from whom they removed the tattoos or had beaten up, or in some instances had raped. After the mid 1970s, tattoos started to come in fashion in the juvenile facilities and that flooded the ''Prison community'' with people who wore the ''unearned tattoos'', combined with the extreme punishments the Vory received for enforcing their code, Vory outlawed rape as a method of punishment and stopped enforcing the code of tattoo as strict as they had previously. After the perestroika in 1985 tattoos had spread outside of the prisons and made their way in the general fashion and reduced the value of tattoos being associated with criminal lifestyle. Modern days In the modern world, tattoos are rarely associated with criminal lifestyle, as they for most of the society are acceptable way of self-expression and in some instances just an attribute to enhance the looks. Altho, criminal tattoos are still a thing in most societies and post-soviet states are no exception. They are not enforced as harsh as they were, but surely wearing some of them are strong indications and the wearer knows the price of it. Most of the criminals chose not to get them, because they are like a sign that says ''I am a convicted felon and a criminal'' ultimately reducing their chances of living a casual civilian life. But for those who chose to get them, they often hold more of a personal meaning,a reminder, rather than displaying their criminal career. Of course, that goes both ways, some get them to display their ranking among the criminals in the prison community. Here I have compiled a rather long list with the most common and some more rare tattoos. S/O to Kiril_Ustinov for helping me find the websites. Virgin Mary - Wearer has been a thief/criminal from their early days or protection from some misfortune. (spoiler for a few variants I found) Casual stars Vory stars See spoiler for alternative variants and analogs I've found so far. Beetle is a symbol of a pickpocketer. There is also an analog for this, letters reading ''ZHUK'', that literally means a beetle in russian. That is also an acronym, reading ''Zhelayu Udachnykh Krazh '' meaning ''May your theft be a success'' Spoiler for more variants and pictures Churches, can be seen on hands, chest and back The number of dome towers (cupolas) indicates either number of prison terms or number of years of the sentence. Tiger - Just a symbol that that the wearer is hostile towards the law enforcement. Sailing ship, the wearer is a traveling thieft, sometimes known as brodyaga. Spider in a web, can be seen on any place of the body. In the web, it can indicate that the wearer is a drug addict or if moving upwards, a criminal who is active, if moving downwards, a criminal that seeks to exit the life of crime. Sunset, especially with birds represents freedom. The reading ''svoboda'' also means freedom, literally. A cat, often with a hat, symbolizes luck. It can also mean that the wearer is a thieft. It used to be that, the added bowtie represents that the thief snitched to get a reduced sentence, but in the modern days there is no such stigma around adding bowties, it's seen as a decoration mostly. Also an acronym KOT (meaning cat) stands for ''Korennoy Obitatel Turmi'' meaning Native Prison Inhabitant, a guy who lands in the jail all the time. English word would be a jailbird. Crucifixes, they are worn by the criminal ahtority figures. Career criminals with significant respect. Eyes on shoulders, means that the wearer oversees his surroundings and is always alert. Can also be linked to schitzophrenic origins, because eyes are often seen by schitzophrenic people causing them panic and making them check their surroundings all the time. Bells, ringing bells symbolize that the wearer will serve full sentence, ''From bell to bell''. Swastikas / Nazi related insignia are a sign of rebellion against Russian prison authority. Doesn’t literally mean that the wearer is a nazi sympathiser. SER - Svoboda Eto Ray - Freedom Is Paradise. Mix of women, money, cards or gambling related stuff and weapons / drugs just symbolizes the things that are killing ''us'' or the wearer. This is sometimes tailored for each person due to what's ruining his life. A bat, also a symbol of a thieft. A bull, basically the wearer is easely aggrevated and really aggresive. They are used as the hitsquad in prisons. Knife in shackles, wearer has commited a crime in prison. Roses, often with barbed wire just means ''Ruined childhood''. These are worn by criminals who started the career very early in life or had landed in juvenile facility. Knife in the neck, the wearer is skillfull with melees and has either killed somebody with a sharp object or has caused severe harm with the object. The joker, wearer likes to gamble. Pirate, wearer is a robber. Sight, the wearer says that if you shoot, you better kill him, because he won't miss when he retaliates. Scorpion, many meanings LHVS - Legavim Huy Voram Soboda - To trashcops the dick, to thieves freedom. Another meaning of LHVS it's just joke - Lublu Halvu Varenie Sahar - I like halva, marmalade, sugar. --+# Searched, searched, caught, condemned. Ring tattoos, these are tattooed on fingers like rings. For the meanings, check the quote under this. Used literature and websites in the spoiler

maravilla up!

It would be nice cos It's the perfect sized map and It's what everyone is used to but It's about time we moved on. I'd like to see it personally but I know for a fact it would never happen. We've all been there, all played on the San Andreas map for far too long, It's definitely time to change. I love the SA map though, nothing comes close in my opinion.
