The one? Our success as a faction always has been and will continue to be the result of a strong team effort. No one person is bigger than this faction and those who fail to understand that will never make it here. People come and go but Valenti has been creating top-notch roleplay since 2007 and that will never change. Thanks for everything and take care, Kyle.7 points

After a week of careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to step away from Los Santos Roleplay. Consequently, my tenure of approximately 14 years with The Valenti Crime Family will also come to an end. This decision was not made lightly, and I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to my growth and development as a roleplayer. Firstly, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to @Busato, whose guidance and friendship has proven absolutely invaluable throughout the years. Your dedication to everything that you do has been inspiring not only to me personally, but to us all. Secondly, I would like to thank Jord, whose forum name I can't find—but that's fine. He probably wouldn't know how to check his fucking notifications anyway. I met this motherfucker a long time ago when Philip Decavalcante (my character) and Nicholas_Diopare (his character) was still an associate and we would juice everyone's fucking heads together for the littlest of reasons. This man has helped me in my development a lot and some of my best and grittiest memories within Los Santos Roleplay have one of his characters standing next to mine, likely doing the killing or the cutting. (You sick fuck) Thirdly, I would like to thank @Voronov because while we have not ever necessarily had the opportunity to craft pure art together directly, your exemplary roleplay ability and ideology has helped me a lot through my progression from a luxurious muthafucka into a more luxurious muthafucka. In short, while you make absolutely the most horrible decisions when it comes to laptops, your influence has been profoundly impactful, and you deserve credit for that. Fourth, a special mention goes to @Adam_Ottone. Although not necessarily on Los Santos Roleplay anymore, you have and will always be Valenti. Your support through The D'Aquila Crime Family and giving me the opportunity to serve as a Captain for the first time have been incredible experiences for me. Granted, I fucking killed it but... it was you that provided me the opportunity. So I'd say you deserve at least a little credit. Fifth, I know @Francis_Giansello (I love you too motherfucker) will love me for this one but I'm a loyal motherfucker and will always be. Despite the opinions of him, Vincent Malacci who has helped me a fuck ton and I'll always have that Arab motherfucker's back even if it's me and him against the world. I doubt he'll ever get to read this as he's probably busy studying Hussein's history but I love you bro. Stay up. And thanks for all the hours of prank calls and laughs on Skype. Lastly, everyone else whom I've built an unbreakable fucking bond with (special shoutout to @Michael_Dippolito who is bald in real life but compensates by making hairline jokes). Watching people like @Peter_Genusa grow from Bellomo to Valenti has been an absolute pleasure and I would like to think that I helped a little with that development. Even if I probably haven't. I'd still like to think I did. Who are we kidding? Of course I did. I'm sure I did. I also have to give a special shoutout to @Sozza who has literally always been there for me through thick and thin. I love you brother! I have received numerous private messages from individuals both within and outside of Valenti, and I want to clarify my stance. I have loved, continue to love, and will always cherish The Valenti Crime Family. My dedication over the past decade is a testament to that loyalty and respect towards the faction and the people within it. Although there was a minor disagreement with the faction's administration regarding a particular scene and myself, I would need to be a fucking idiot to let that ruin the amazing experience I've had with this faction and the bonds I've built with the people within it. As I move forward, I urge you all to continue the legacy we have established. Maintain the standards of excellence and camaraderie that make the Borgata, the Borgata. What makes Valenti Valenti is not necessarily the above-standard roleplay ability but rather the fact that the people within it genuinely have love for each other and have always worked for the betterment of Valenti. Our ability to reach a common ground, even through heated disagreements is what kept this faction alive for so long. Respect to all the OGs that aren't with us anymore. (Probably literally and not literally). NB: This should also serve as my resignation from the Illegal Faction Team as well. The reason I was on Los Santos Roleplay was because I wanted to give the management one last chance to prove their worth and they've proved their worth (or lack thereof) with the alien event and the way they've been handling most issues. Thank you to those within Faction Management that tried working with me to better the server only to find a big fucking brick wall in front of us. Anyway, I'll be waiting at the next place for you all where @Adam_Ottone has very kindly prepared the future for us all. Fucking magician. 'Con rispetto Keep it luxurious Brigo3 points

What I said seemed ignorant on my part, it probably came across as me speaking out of turn on something that does not involve me. But, I assure you I meant nothing by it. I didn't mean to insult anyone. It was all simple banter between @brigada and myself. However, if it did come across as anything other than such, I do apologize to anyone who I have offended.2 points

I appreciate the comment @Napoleon but the bar has been set long before my time. Valenti has always been and will always be a team effort and if you are sticking to Los Santos Roleplay; I would urge you to continue on your mission to become part of that team.1 point

Probably the craziest interior I've ever done. Images look great but the interior is so large it doesn't fully load in for the screenshots. Went for Fallout Vault type vibes for nuclear event and underground meth lab.1 point

I think it was around 2016, that I was first allowed to test a new script in a leadership capacity. Bare in mind, this was well before any of us had read the writing on the wall, and we were still rosy cheeked enough to legitimately believe that this was going to be the first addition of many, certifying Mmartin as a capable lead developer. I don't think Bay Area had happened yet, and GTA:W / GTA:5 roleplay was little more than quiet whispers in Skype calls. When I look at the current state of affairs, I'm brought back to those moments. Broken promises, missed deadlines, empty reassurances, and little regard for the brunt that the rest of staff had to bear for all of it. Reading admin posts is like looking in a mirror. The blind defense of a man who really doesn't give a fuck about you or anything else is something you'll really only ever understand when you're sitting in that seat. If I had to guess, it comes from a place of passion for the game. If I had to warrant another, the snarky attitude is misplaced frustration with Mmartin. Trust me, they know. They hate him too. I think it's plainly obvious that everybody still here is here for a love of the game, and a love for the community. If you would spare me just a moment of your time, I'd ask you to really think about what made LS:RP what it was. What is it you loved, what made it fun, what kept you coming back for more? If I could dare to get even more abstract: what was LS:RP? • LS:RP was us. You, me, and every other person who made a contribution to this game. Every administrator, every tester, every player, every faction, and every shred of effort that a group of likeminded, infinitely creative and impassioned players and friends alike had made across 12+ years. LS:RP was the community, and the infinite potential every one of us saw that the game could be, and came together with our combined imaginations to make it so. Feel free to disagree individually with any of my points, but I guarantee you every single one of them is a cherished memory to somebody here: • LS:RP was staying up till 3:00a.m with your friends, making a faction thread for the sheer fun of it; • LS:RP was Chete's MS13, revolutionizing the concept of factions, introducing hundreds of us to gang role play (including myself); • LS:RP was pioneers of inventive types of role play, like Shah of Persia, and R. Hout, who never stopped pushing the limit on exploring new concepts; • LS:RP was incredible individual character stories, curated on the screenshots & videos forum as a quiet time capsule of days past; • LS:RP was logging onto stunting servers / dm servers during server outages, or settling Skype arguments on that one server (for the life of me I can't remember the name! Koky's?); • LS:RP was the infinite contributions of people like Westside and Obsessi0n, who otherwise pushed the boundaries on individual characters and gang quality; • LS:RP was the infinitely deep, and infinitely static LCN scene, baring no greater sense of passion from a group of players on any game I've ever seen before; • LS:RP was the individual contributions of testers at the crack of dawn, hammering the last of the applications down after a particularly busy night; • LS:RP was walking into Meathead's Deli for the first time in 2014 and being introduced to casual, passive role play for the first time, and falling in love with it whilst Bob Seger blares over that 181.fm station; • LS:RP was midnight conversations with Bospy, Pitchounette and KaylaSpace, discussing what our dream FBI faction would be; • LS:RP was every internal gang war. Finding out that Nova died still gives me goosebumps, or having Icey retaliate for ColossalBQ CKing me; • LS:RP was figuring out how the hell to install IRC for the first time, when you got tester; • LS:RP was Teamspeak fights about the direction of your faction and where it should move forward. I never got to apologize to iJoker and I regret it; • LS:RP was the transition between ENB to the "elite" grime era of screenshots; • LS:RP was getting caught behind the Ganton blue projects with your gun stash by a pair of prying eyes, and logging off pissed off because you know the rest of your week is SACF; • LS:RP was the 2014-2016 era casinos. Companies like Roux and BION are still firmly branded into my brain; • LS:RP was learning about the mechanic paycheck in the county, and beating yourself up over the 50 hours you played without it; • LS:RP was seeing the name "Settlemire" (I think?) in the distance and pissing your pants in Skype about the incoming casefile; • LS:RP was the transition towards "grime" role play, focusing on drug dependency and mental illness, racism and other uncomfortable topics, pioneered by factions like Peddlers of Death; • LS:RP was the Iraq War level gang conflicts between factions like Beasley & Associates (love u Damaz), Crenshaw, Hoover, WGS18, ViperZ, EHC, and the thousand other factions I'm woefully forgetting as I write this; • LS:RP was the individual contribution of every administrator who took time out of their day to contribute to something they loved; • LS:RP was the individual contribution of every tester, every forum moderator, and every subteam member who worked to help make the community what it was; • LS:RP was the individual contribution of every faction leader, every member of FMP, and every player who worked to build their faction and make a permanent mark on the server; • LS:RP was long lasting friendships. I still play games with Surreal on a regular basis; LS:RP was us. I'm not putting my neck out to burn a bridge. Believe me, I love this game as much as any of you do. I'm not trying to shit on anybody, but I'm simply asking you to heed my warning: don't commit to something and blindly defend it because it's name is attached to something that you love. Their is very fair criticism to be had on the matter, and I'm asking you to place it correctly. Kane, Bennemus, and whoever are easy to direct your frustrations at because they respond. Don't let them be another lightning rod. We caught enough for him.1 point
