I don't think we need to take lessons from somebody who was apart of The Vesci Crime Family, the self-acclaimed messiahs of LCN roleplay who made emotes such as: • /me attends a sit down between the wops and bikers. • /me is the boss of the Vesci Crime Family. • /me stuffs a dollar bill in Female_Name's asshole. I wouldn't even bother entertaining it. The only reason the focus is being shifted onto Bellomo is because of the two faction reports that were made against them, one of which they received a strike for. If they had not gone on a massive DM spree they were going to be closed the very same night following a third strike. I am the furthest thing from a fan of Bellomo, which Curly and Sarno can attest to themselves, but The Vesci Crime Family was some of the worst drivel I've witnessed plague the faction forum in over a decade. Led by a Bellantonio reject who recently got his panties in a twist over a CK that took place over 6 years ago, it really is no surprise that they failed. Bore off.

@manslaughter At one point in time, you were also apart of the 140-150 population. What’s wrong with people wanting to come together and pitch ideas to try and help the server grow? While I do agree that some areas of the server could use some improvement, it doesn’t contribute anything beneficial to helping the server grow by throwing jabs at the players who at least try, nor does generalizing everyone based off the bad interactions you’ve had. I recall your faction contributing a lot to the server at one point, but your OOC behavior heavily clouds that opinion when most of the time you’re being toxic and shooting down people’s attempts to come together for something positive.

Playing Both Sides

Let's move on from the messiahs of mob roleplay now, before they start throwing homophobic and racist slurs (yes, that's what they do, especially Wayne). Current officials are being reviewed currently to ensure standards are being met; IFT seem to be pulling their weight which comes as no surprise, as do the developers.

Since we're talking about our portrayals here, You've got your Boss and Underboss publicly associating with their narcotics dealing acting like this isn't 2024 and there's a camera pointed at you at all times. I don't think murdering clowns in broad daylight in the middle of an intersection is a very realistic portrayal of a modern LCN Underboss. More reports on your members that weren't even made by Bellomo members by the way than half of LSRPs factions combined Mr.Quality RP. The fact that you find yourselves in a Bellomo business every other day just to do your best to bait a violent reaction because your leadership has the mental maturity of a newborn baby is also funny, can't get over IC events and turned it into an OOC feud. Apparently keeping a low profile and minding your own business amounts to a low quality portrayal but I can't blame you since you're used to killing five people per day for looking at you funny. By the way tell your friends to keep creating level 1 accounts to drive straight from the airport to The Brickhouse just to troll, we enjoy it. What have Vesci contributed to the server other than filling the forums with screenshots of voided scenes and report threads? If you had an ounce of common sense and decency we wouldn't even have made a single report but yeah, keep that childish notion that everyone is out to get you because you're too good. If everyone says you smell like shit then you probably smell like shit and it isn't an issue with their sense of smell. I apologize for derailing the thread but there's so much bs a man can read without replying to it. It's a good thread with multiple opinions and valid ideas, I just hope management can utilize them properly before it's too late.

Paid & Laid INC. is a modernized twist on Black Organized Crime Roleplay. This concept aims to be ever-evolving and never stop in the comfort zones that other factions on the server have embraced, i.e. spamming the same screenshots of drug sales & posting up on a corner everyday. This group is an off-shoot of the Blanco—Longoria DTO and a part of an in-character Organized Crime Syndicate that has formed around Blanco—Longoria's operations, it's also one of the direct ways to get involved with the faction. Seeking us out ICly is the preferred method of joining, but due to timezones and other activity restrictions we encourage newcomers to give a heads-up through a forum PM to @Marco Polo.

Putting together the garbage avengers

Seeing Lines post screens, Jesus, it feels like 2015 again.

Trentino hit the crux of the issue here, and also landed the nail on the head. We are a small server with a dedicated population that is only here for a very, very minute host of reasons. In my case, it is that I am unwilling to run GTA: V and have no interest in moving to another server, nor will I. We are a gasping-breath dying breed, granted, but that doesn't mean we should go out in geriatric fumbling for our oxygen tanks and wondering what went wrong or if we could have salvaged this opportunity. We may not attract the array of new roleplayers that LS-RP used to, but we can lock down the old and those willing to take the plunge into something serious and, in my opinion, wholly awesome. Though our playerbase is low in comparison to past eras, it has cultivated a symbiotic criminal and faction-based ecosystem that I, as a roleplayer, have been chasing for over a decade now. I have been on the same account since LS-RP reopened and have used that time to cultivate IC relationships with a host of factions and independent roleplayers, that encompass the legal and illegal worlds and those that blur the lines between the two. The venture-specific, based-on-criminal-merit-and-modus-operandi archetype is something that has never entered the realm of IC materialization as well as it has right now. I am experiencing some of the best roleplay I've had on the server since 2008 at this exact moment. Each and every character that exists on LS-RP right now serves a purpose, or is working towards doing so. Every niche, no matter how small it may be, is a niche that deserves to be filled. The administration have done a great job of removing trolls that are not working towards this goal. To personify this, I have not been robbed in-game by those that aren't here to roleplay in the manner of past eras in months. To continue to foster this ecosystem, the importance of managing factions is of utmost importance. This does not constitute micromanagement of factions, but instead should consist of supporting factions that present good ideas and good roleplay and, thus, allowing them the space to succeed in their endeavors, or in their failure attempting to do so in-game. The reality of this quagmire is that we need to cater to our current playerbase. We do not need 700 factions, but instead a world where 700 micro-factions exist built off the backing of existing factions and their connections to these factions paving the way to success. There is no good way to encourage players to only join factions instead of creating their own, but it is not necessary, regardless, as it can never be feasibly attained. The illegal faction base is one of the strongest I've seen to date and I count myself as one of the lucky players to have helped so many long-standing official factions of the past to success, and still, we are looking better than ever in my eyes. Kudos to our current administration on making this a reality. You all deserve more thanks than you will ever receive, but you can count me amongst the utmost thankful in your creating this environment wherein roleplayers like me are able to succeed and develop characters in the manner we have been allowed to by good management. To the rest of you hanging off the fence, asking if you should leave, hop off my nuts and go. Hang from them, because they sag low at my age. Sharif Reynolds said it best. If you're asking if I'm arsed, I'm not, but you're negatively impacting a server that should be allowed to succeed with every factor already existing against it without your comments. We don't need your "dead LS-RP" comments, but instead constructive collaboration on how we can make a run of this server until it can't run any further. When this server dies, so, too, do a lot of good roleplayers. I have nothing but the utmost confidence in this server and all that it's brought to the table. This era of administration has the whole world before them to be the best I've ever seen and are actively working towards this goal before our very eyes.
