Philip Arditi: A Sunset Tale Philip Arditi wasn’t born into the life—but by the time he hit his late thirties, the straight world had shut its doors, and the street opened its arms. He was older than most when he started, no kid chasing thrills. He just needed to make a living, and he found a way selling booze for a guy named Peter Belotti. Belotti ran a small outfit out of the West Side, sharp suits and sharp temper. The kind of man who shook your hand and sized up your pulse in the same second. He took a liking to Philip—not because he was loud or flashy, but because he got things done without asking dumb questions. Philip didn’t go it alone. With him from the jump were Henry Graziani and Joseph Calabrese—two guys you’d want on your side when the truck breaks down at midnight or when someone’s sniffing around who shouldn’t be. Henry was the brawler, never looked for a fight but never ran from one. Joseph? Smooth talker. Knew every dock boss, warehouse gatekeeper, and bartender worth knowing. They weren’t soldiers. They were brothers in the dirt. Together, they built a quiet little empire in the liquor game—cash flowing, books cooked clean, no heat. Then came trouble, like it always does. Michael “Iron Mike” Niovale ran a crew out of Sunset Avenue. Not a big boss, not some citywide don—just a hard-nosed neighborhood guy with a loyal circle and a short fuse. He heard about Philip’s setup, the money coming in, the pawnshop downtown moving more than just watches and wedding rings. Iron Mike got curious. Word came down the line—Mike was offering fifteen grand to Belotti to “take Arditi off his hands.” A polite way of saying: He’s ours now. Philip heard about it through the usual whispers. Instead of panicking, he played it cool. Talked to Henry and Joseph. They didn’t flinch. They'd seen enough backroom deals to know this wasn’t just about booze. This was about muscle, pride, territory. Then came the pitch from Niovale’s side: turn on Belotti. Blackmail him. Sell him out and walk into the Sunset crew like nothing happened. Thing is, Philip wasn’t built like that. He might’ve worked the street, but he had a code—and Peter Belotti, for all his faults, had never crossed him. So Philip played the hand different. He went to Belotti, told him everything. No games. Belotti didn’t get mad—he got focused. He introduced Philip to Frank Baldi and Anthony Ulino, two men with deep roots and no patience for Sunset-level headaches. Together, they put a plan in motion. Philip fed Niovale just enough to keep him cocky. Then, when the moment was right, they sold him and his number two, Philip Dentino, out. Not to the cops—no, this was street justice. Doors closed on Sunset Avenue. Trucks stopped rolling. The bars and parlors went dark. Iron Mike's name stopped carrying weight. By the end of it, Niovale and his crew were out—quietly pushed off Sunset like smoke on a breeze. Belotti held Downtown. Philip? He’d earned his place at the table. And Henry and Joseph were right there with him, same as they’d always been. They weren’t legends. Just men who knew how to survive in a world where loyalty was rare, and betrayal was easy. But in the right hands, even Sunset Avenue could be the stage for something bigger. The Story of Anthony "Tony Chips" Chiappetta Early Days on Graham Avenue: Anthony Chiappetta was born and raised in the heart of Graham Avenue, a neighborhood that raised him with grit, hustle, and loyalty. School didn't last forever for Tony — after his parents fell on hard times and couldn’t afford to send him to college, he dropped out and started stacking cash the hard way. He saved every dollar he could, and before long, Anthony Chiappetta bought himself a yellow cab, entering the streets as a full-time cab driver. It was honest work — for a while. Stepping In With Screwie: Cab driving gave Tony eyes on the city, ears on the street, and the kind of reputation that caught the attention of Phillip Dentino, known in the neighborhood as Screwie. He’d known Screwie since he was a kid — one of those neighborhood uncles who always had an eye on who was coming up next. Tony, who respectfully called Screwie "uncle", started doing some frontline work for him. He ran lines from the payphones to the block, setting up small moves at first — packages, drops, messages. Then came the bigger jobs: drugs, guns, hot cars, protection rackets — the kind of work that needed someone calm, precise, and invisible. As Screwie's influence grew, so did Tony's reputation for his solid work. His network stretched out through the Graham Avenue associates, and Tony Chips became known for keeping his mouth shut, his hands moving, and his business clean — well, clean enough. Climbing the Ranks: As Screwie's street lieutenant, Tony Chips started rubbing shoulders with heavier names in the city's criminal web. That’s when he met Michael Niovale, Screwie’s crew boss, a big face with bigger plans. Tony’s professionalism — his smooth handling of volatile situations and his almost flawless track record — got him closer to both Screwie and Michael. Everyone knew Tony Chips could handle heat. He wasn’t flashy, didn’t run his mouth, didn’t step out of line. He kept the trains running on time, and the bosses noticed. Tony was no longer just a street-level guy — he was part of the machinery. Going Solo Again: But power breeds tension. Over time, cracks formed between Michael Niovale, Screwie, and other players in the organization. Turf disagreements, cash disputes, old grudges — all of it boiled over. In the fallout, Tony Chips didn’t take sides. He did what he always did: kept his head down, stayed loyal to the street, and walked his own line. With the old alliances broken, Tony was back on his own, still working and still respected in his own right. The Ace Connection: It wasn’t long before Anthony Chiappetta reconnected with an old contact: Adam Mora, better known as Ace. Ace was a shot-caller with his own network, and Tony Chips — with his years of street knowledge, connections, and calm hand — was a valuable ally. Together, they reignited the flame, and Tony stepped back into the organized crime world, doing what he’d always done — but smarter, slicker, and with more power behind his name again. The Legit Side: "CCC - Chiappetta’s Choice of Cars" Today, Tony Chips walks both sides of the line. He still runs the streets, still has his ear in the alleys and his hand in the hustle. But he's also a businessman now. His used car dealership, "CCC – Chiappetta's Choice of Cars", is a local staple. It moves vehicles — some clean, some with stories — and more importantly, it keeps the IRS off his back. With washed money, clean titles, and a professional front, Tony Chiappetta runs a legit operation that feeds his criminal empire. Legacy of the Streets: From the old corners of Graham Avenue to the newer corners of Sunset Avenue, the name Tony Chips still carries weight. They know the cabs, the deals, the connections, the cars, and the quiet power he holds. Tony Chips is the kind of guy that never had to shout to get what he wanted — he just had to show up. And even now, as he balances street respect and legal legitimacy, Anthony Chiappetta is one thing above all else: a survivor — calm, calculated, and still calling the shots.4 points

Hey all, it's now been over a week that the SA-MP server opened its doors to everyone again. I want to reflect a bit on what's been happening, and provide my thoughts on where we’re at. It’s fun. I almost forgot how much fun our SA-MP server is. Not just from the perspective of a player, but also from the perspective of a staff member and developer. It’s been an absolutely hilariously hectic week full of rollercoasters, ups and downs and all. The creative aspect of our community has been blooming even this early on, whether in game or out of it. It’s good to see factions finding their place again and providing players a great roleplay experience. Lots of you have been making videos from LS-RP as well already, which is great to see. I feel our strength as a community is off to a great start. What really surprised me that according to our metrics it appears about 1/4 to 1/3 of the players who join our SA-MP server have never played LS-RP before. So welcome everyone, make yourself at home and I hope you'll enjoy playing with us. Just to give a quick shoutout to a few channels posting LS-RP content: Big Tank - YouTube Cycool100 - YouTube BlackAngellify RP - YouTube Neezoo The Cursed - YouTube Honorary mention to LSRP: Grand Reopening 2024 (youtube.com) We’ve also been posting a lot of content on our socials - see Los Santos Roleplay (@lsrpgta) • Instagram photos and videos and ls-rp (@lsrpgaming) | TikTok - show us some love there. It’s a challenge. From about all ends. The launch day itself went very smooth, but we were soon met with a crowd of seventeen year old skeletons clacking their way out of the closet right onto the doorstep of the Development and Staff team. Although not all of the technical difficulties we’ve faced were within our reach to fix (looking at you, pesky network providers), the ones that were within our power, we’ve managed to fix. That’s not to say it’s fully smooth sailing from here on out, we’ve much work to do still in regards to stabilization and optimization, but despite an odd crash due to the obscure issues that running a SA-MP server brings, we’re trying to make the experience better every day. Be assured that the moment any technical difficulties arise, our entire team is all hands on deck working on a solution. To stay on topic of infrastructure a bit longer, we’re currently considering switching to a US East Coast based datacenter. As much as I enjoy low ping, I acknowledge that a major chunk of our player base is from the US, and a significant portion is also from Asia, Australia and Oceania. The latter three suffer the most, since the routes from their countries to Europe are much less optimal than to US. We’re still yet to do some research into this to find the best option, and are waiting to see if GCORE perhaps creates a L7 layer for SA-MP to match our current Path offering, but the switch to US-E is something I’m planning to do, so please hand on tight for now. The last week has also been a massive test of our staff’s strength. Just since pre-release (and majority of it since around 17th), our team has handled over 4000 character applications, over 17200 helpmes, over 11200 in-game reports, and over 600 discord support tickets, most of which were related to account recovery. Those numbers are nothing short of insane and a big shoutout goes to our staff teams who are holding the line. Worry not, reinforcements to our team are coming EOM, as we’ve received around 50 reinstatement requests by now. It’s about you. To make meaningful progress forward with feature development, we require you to get involved. The suggestion board is open: Suggestions - Los Santos Roleplay (ls-rp.com) and we’re looking for your input on where to go from here. Now that we’re slowly resolving all the infrastructure and administrative issues that degrade player and staff experience, we want to shift a significant part of our focus onto feature development. Please get involved in discussing submitted suggestions. I guess this would be a good place to congratulate the community on reaching an astonishing 10k members on our Discord server - https://discord.gg/ls-rp. It’s great to see the server thriving, It could be you. We’re always looking for modders, mappers and developers to join our team. Please send me an application if you’re interested in any of those. In a few weeks we’ll be opening up the tester applications to strengthen our ranks even more, so if you’re looking to apply, now is a good time to show your activity within the community, whether in game, on Discord or forums. By getting directly involved as a staff member, you get to contribute to making the LS-RP experience better for everyone. Keep it real, keep it close, and I’ll see you in game. Martin3 points

Harold Spigola - San Fierro Remnants GTA:C had its moments. I just wish the forums would still be up, something like LSRP's legacy forums, cause I would love to see those old screenshots.2 points
