A son to a made man, raised by his father to fit within Boston’s Cosa Nostra - born into a lifetime of crime, Anthony Abruzzo was predestined for greatness, sentenced to a life of power and fortune through his wants and vices alone. Alas, a wayward son, he’s fallen short of his family’s expectations, but… Ultimately, the life-long dream of respect and wealth lived on. Soon enough, it became everything to the man - and he’d stop at nothing, yield to no one, and hold nothing back to get what he truly desired. Born and raised within the streets of Boston, Abruzzo was surrounded by crime - born into an Italian mafia family, the cruel, lawless world was made bare to him at a young age, most of which he spent under the mentorship of his father and his fellow wiseguys. A rowdy and disobedient child, he was quick to reject the patronizing approach of his superiors, much preferring to remain on his own and focus on creating a cell in which he’d be the reigning body. Considered a family disappointment from there, by his late teens Anthony was already governing over a multi-racial crew while carefully treading the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld. Everything was fair game - as long as it paid well, and wouldn’t cause a misstep onto a bigger fish’s tail. As bridges were razed in the wake of Abruzzo’s illegal path, so did his crew crash and burn in the heat of the law enforcement’s successful pursuits. The seat was getting hotter and hotter with each passing day, and so the man realized it’s better to move on to a greener pasture - and as everyone knows, the grass is always greener on the other side. And so, East turned to West - and Los Santos, the city of opportunity, became Anthony’s newfound home. It was a new start - but a new beginning did not mean a change in old habits. Abruzzo remained as motivated as he’s always been, willing to work with anyone and anything, as long as the profit to his pocket was right. After having sought private, professional mental aid, having felt concerned regarding his social bounds with people, it’s been made clear to him that, in a way, Anthony was truly predestined to become who he was not by birth alone, but by biology just the same. Presenting callous unconcern for the feelings of others, if he considers them inferior to himself; showing irresponsibility and disregard to social norms, rules and obligations; having difficulty to maintain enduring relationships, even though he has no issue establishing them. That, topped by the admittance to having severely violent tendencies, has cemented him as a diagnosed sociopath. Today, Abruzzo is an opportunist and a lone wolf who remains ever so willing to do just about anything lucrative with little pity or remorse, blinded by his desire for success.

Hey, This will be short. I want to share with you all a very nice website that speaks about all things GTA-5 cars in great depth. Did you know that neons and exhaust tips significantly affect your car's centre of mass and subsequently it's handling/on-road (indirectly) performance? You do now. Such a resource will probably come as a "thank you, captain obvious" to many, but I'm sure a good bit of people will appreciate it. The website offers, like already suggested, in-depth explanations when it comes to vehicle modifications and how they truly can affect a vehicle. It contains spreadsheets with real-top speeds and literally everything. I take absolutely ZERO credit for this. Just sharing the love. Now and without further to do: https://broughy.com/gta5carupgrades Picture for effect:

Good luck boss.

Ya, exactly! So you'd go with option 2, unfortunately I didn't put that option in the polls but saying yes basically means you'd be okay with supporting option 1 or 2. Great to get your opinion regarding music! 😊 - edit: I made Option 1 & Option 2 more clear and edited the poles, wasn't aware I could do that!

Yea, the second option sounds more suitable. Certain places with personalized music would be a nice touch in such places, I totally agree - even in cars, it's your own personal vehicle so it doesn't matter what you listen. I'm just not OK with hearing personalized music on boomboxes on street, it would be a bit messy.

That's why I mentioned the *Update* portion in the first post and obviously Dj's don't just look for tracks on youtube but it's the most simple thing to do in real life, which is play your own music at your convenience. It shouldn't be held back just for players to benefit from their DJ roleplay in general. Restaurant, different types of businesses should be able to play the type of music they want within their store through url like for example: certain piano music to certain club beats or art gallery music etc that they prefer. It should not be withheld just because DJ's want to press the play button and hog it for themselves, It doesn't make any sense. I shouldn't have to hire a DJ just to listen to my personal taste of music within my vehicle either. I do understand that there are rule breakers though so I am referring to the *Update*(2nd choice) that I posted at the start of this post as an option. I also understand that it would personally benefit you in-game if you halted the freedom of music so no one else can listen to their own music except DJ's within clubs which is pretty non-rp and I feel like we should be a little bit more open regarding music.

* yes i think loud again and we want this * We already saw Martin's cool screenshot about lawnmowing, how cool would it be to actually work on a farm ingame while living in the country. It is not only city roleplay that matters, country roleplay matters too. What if we could put a connection between barn working / farm working / yada yada. and to the city life of Los Santos. Maybe it could be possible to make a production in the country and make money by importing it to the city who knows. So... Imagine this. * you need to play this song or else it isnt the same fruitcake * PRESS PLAY: or else.. Imagine this! You wake up, and you are so happy to be away from soceity's bullshit and manipulation. And you are so happy that you are alive. You drive around on your dirtbike which is a sanchez of course, and enjoys the open and free air. You drive to your favorite work place in the country The farm. You fire that f*cking tractor up and starts doing farmer shit. You are finally done after 7 hours of work, and you decide to meet the boys at the local bar. You get a couple of beers and sing loudly and you are all happy. You meet a ugly , beautifull woman and she makes good food so that is your new wife. It is not all about the city, we should respect the country side too and encourage people to roleplay there. WHO IS WITH ME IM TALKING TO YOU FELLOW COUNTRY MEN AND BIKERS AND HILBILLIES YEEHAA GRAB THAT HORSE AND YOUR BIKES LETS TRASH SHIT UP

Thank you, kind words. 🙂 I'll join as a simple guy in the country side, I don't have the time fully commit to it, but I will help as much as possible with everything.

I definitely want more realism. I think a lot of it centers on rules and the balance between having too many rules and not enough to define realistic portrayals. If robberies happen non-stop and without care or regard of being caught then one needs to look at the rules or define a better punishment system if caught. As for Staff, we need to be fair and consistent. It’s an all around balancing act that will separate us from other servers based on how we address the above. The last part is the script itself. Scripting in realism such as a banking system etc. will bring you into the immersive environment.

It’d be nice to see San Andreas News make a return. The possibilities and scenarios are endless

Glad to be here and seeing a lot of familiar faces from the past.

looking good keep it up
