Hello everyone, Welcome to the December Community Update. We're entering the last month of a year that has overall been a very good one for LS-RP. The return of SA-MP gave our community a much needed breath of fresh air, and it allowed us some time to step back and reflect on what we really want to do next. It's not quite the time to look back yet so I'll save all of that for the End Of Year update, but this year we decided to make it easier than ever to look back — we'll be doing a "Your year on LS-RP" (think Spotify Wrapped, etc) so that's something to look forward to. Keeping up with the End Of Year theme and the spirit of holidays, I want to encourage everyone to start decorating their houses with outside furniture for the season. If you're unable to do this for whatever reason worry not, we'll be allowing for holiday decoration submissions soon, available for personal properties, businesses, factions and companies. Keep your eyes peeled! LS-RP Christmas Giveaway '24 And finally, to celebrate this years' holidays and give back to the community, we're holding a prize giveaway for all of our players. The prize pool consists of Gift Cards in total value of 800 EUR! On December 25th, we'll be giving out: Prize #1: 5 Gift Cards of 50 EUR each Prize #2: 10 Gift Cards of 25 EUR each Prize #3: 15 LS-RP Premium Credit packages of 2500 Credits each Upon winning, you can choose any widely available Gift Card of your liking (Steam, Amazon, etc). As long as we can purchase it directly, you can have it! To read more about the giveaway, how to enter, and its rules, please visit: LS-RP Christmas Giveaway 2024 - Los Santos Roleplay. Faction Updates Faction Team Public We've recently revamped FTP to improve its functionality for the greater FT. The FTP is a great avenue to get in touch with the FT and voice your opinions, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a player just getting the ropes of things. It is a team designed for people to voice their concerns and partake in discussions without the stringent experience requirements of FT. If you're interested in joining the faction team and seriously impact the server's infrastructure, FTP is a great way to prove yourself. We're actively on the lookout of members that possess a sound acumen when it comes to the illegal mechanism, and FTP is somewhere you can demonstrate it in the best possible way. Please reach out to @Scumpy for all queries related to FTP. Barons Motorcycle Club I'd like to announce and congratulate Barons Motorcycle Club on reaching official status! Barons Motorcycle Club is an outlaw organized motorcycle club primarily based within Flint County, San Andreas. The establishment of the club was primarily based on a late succession from the defunct White Knights Motorcycle Club, which involved core past members of said club alongside newer faces to reunite under a new banner yet following their same outlaw ideology. Over an extensive period after first settling on the Flint-Whetstone highway, Barons had rapidly expanded its presence within the Flint County and Whetstone regions whilst primarily associating with other organizations and motorcycle clubs alike within the Los Santos city limits. - Spectre, Faction Team Council Faction Team Council I'd also like to congratulate @Klag for advancing into the Faction Team Council! He's now joining Spectre and badhbh in the council to help facilitate a fair and supportive ecosystem for the illegal factions on the server. I have personally taken an interest in illegal factions recently and will be working with the council closely to address some of the concerns that have been raised by the faction team, and illegal faction players recently. As always, communication is key, so if you've anything to bring up to the council or me directly, please create a ticket in the Factions Discord, and if necessary, escalate to me directly. As an example, we'll be trying to provide a more robust pipeline for factions to add custom maps into the server; even if they can't procure the maps themselves. We're adding 4 new mappers today to help us with that! Staff Updates & More Now, onto the Staff Update. Congratulations to our newly promoted staff members ... Senior Admin jungsaeo Trainee Admin n0de101 Senior Tester consistency And congratulations to the new mappers! Mapper peculata - Ricta - ganchew - Leg4nd114 As you may remember, a few updates ago we introduced a new role to the staff team; the Head of Player Experience. This role is supposed to bridge the gap between the player base and the staff teams, mainly the development team. This will help us understand the needs of the community better and translate that into a list of priorities for the teams to work on. Having an individual responsible for this is crucial so that nothing falls through the cracks. The position solidified and integrated more recently, and given its importance and wide reach across the staff team, we made this a lead position. There are two HOPE positions, one for SA-MP and one for our RageMP server (more on that later). So congratulations to our two new leads: Lead Admin ROZE Head of Player Experience (SA-MP) Lead Admin Helius Head of Player Experience (RageMP) I honestly can't find more fitting candidates for both of those roles, so I'm really excited about this setup. Also shoutout to risen, who was promoted to a Lead Admin just days after last month's announcement: Lead Admin risen Head of Testers Now you might be asking - RageMP? Is this still a thing? Yes. We've (when I say we, mostly a taskforce consisting of Helius, danut, and Conor) gone and looked back at our stint with RageMP last year and tried to learn from our mistakes why the server didn't work out as we might've hoped it would. We've learned a lot from the community and staff feedback, and are working on a plan to bring the server back to thrive. This takes some time as it involves quite a lot of further development, economy overhaul, factions overhaul, marketing and more. We aren't quite ready to share more details just yet, but we've several developers whose main interest is the RageMP platform and when I say they're cooking, they're cooking. Big ups for the group for not giving up on the project and bringing my morale back into it. Anyway more on that later, as I said, lots of work to do still and I don't want to get everyone excited too early. Considering danut's endless efforts with the project and continuous work on the gamemode ever since joining the team, I'm excited to announce he'll be taking a role of a Lead Developer on RageMP! I've no doubt that with his and Helius' effort as the HOPE for the project, we'll be able to see it really succeed. Lead Developer danut Lead Developer (RageMP) In the SA-MP department, we're working on the next juicy update to bring you. Make sure to cast your vote at the Feature Voting on the UCP as we use it to influence priorities. There's a lot of big things on the list, so they take time to implement, but every vote matters. Currently the two big things we're working on is the Thief/House Burglary revamp (see #snippets on Discord!) and Premium/Custom Skins feature to let players add their own skin to the game. Note from ROZE re. marketing: We have noticed that new players are being retained on the server pretty well now, we've had a lot of new people join and stick around, often logging hundreds of hours. As we're now in a comfortable position to retain new players we will be taking a more in-depth look at marketing. We recently spoke to several new players to gain feedback about how they found LS-RP, and we have also reached out to some content creators in order to get feedback on how we can better work with them to create a system where we can get a constant stream of publicity and 2-way support. On top of this, we are also looking at the possibilities of being put back onto the server browser. That's it from me for today! I hope you all are able to enjoy the holiday season (or suffer through it, at least, shoutout to fellow season depressos iykyk). We've a few things prepared to make the season on LS-RP festive, so join us and let's enjoy the game together. - Martin3 points

Criminal Division, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) are organizations whose members use their motorcycle clubs as conduits for criminal enterprises. OMGs are highly structured criminal organizations whose members engage in criminal activities such as violent crime, weapons trafficking, and drug trafficking. There are more than 300 active OMGs within the United States, ranging in size from single chapters with five or six members to hundreds of chapters with thousands of members worldwide. The Hells Angels, Mongols, Bandidos, Outlaws, and Sons of Silence pose a serious national domestic threat and conduct the majority of criminal activity linked to OMGs, especially activity relating to drug-trafficking and, more specifically, to cross-border drug smuggling. Because of their transnational scope, these OMGs are able to coordinate drug smuggling operations in partnership with major international drug-trafficking organizations (DTOs). Seeker's Motorcycle Club Seeker's Outlaw Motorcycle Gang had its inception in late 1960 in San Fierro city by mostly belligerent social outcasts finding comradeship among Chopper motorcyclists, they developed a small scale homegrown club after adopting the name and wearing a patch on cut-offs. Although miniscule in manpower when in comparison to other already well established OMGs, members of the Seeker's double down in acts of violence in order to guard their territory and revenue in narcotics trade, racketeering and in particular illegal firearms trafficking. Following the conclusion of the 1975 Vietnam War saw to a mighty boost in Seeker's manpower, Vietnam veterans who felt ousted by society and left stranded by the government were drawn to the social outcasts in Seekers and their violent means to take what they want. In retrospect the Seeker's heartedly welcomed Vietnam veterans for their solid but ruthless mentality, befitting of the outlaw world. In 1977 the second first chapter took off in Angel Pine, Whetstone. And the third chapter opened up in Bay Side, Tierra Robada in 1982. The Angel Pine Seeker's encroached on Renegades territory when opening up on the other side of Angel Pine opposite of theirs, igniting a war that would last until 2004 when the Renegades disbanded as defunct after suffering most losses and federal infiltration. Drastic dwindling in membership following hard-hitting law enforcement raids in the 1990s saw to the incarceration of many high profile Seeker's veterans in officer ranks, the remaining Seeker's adopted an intense traditional nomadic doctrine to shelter from indictments and federal infiltration. Predating primarily on convicts and felons within low-income white society to draw in recruits, the Seeker's run a tight-ship of which they base their operations out of wherever they are able to setup quarters for a time being. As a consequence to Seeker's violently cruel nature, from 1990 to 2001 the federal government concluded several raids on Seeker's OMG, rapidly weakening the club with dwindling membership and incarcerating several high profile members. The Seeker's went from 3 full fledged chapters in San Andreas state to the singular San Fierro one they still retain to this day with respectable manpower. They are entrenched in outlaw politics validating their relevance in the OMG scene, and deeply interwoven in Drug Trafficking Organizations. These connections allowed the mother chapter to send out an expeditionary, nomad-like group of made members into neighboring Los Santos, where they aim to setup shop. Not a common sight to behold for uninvolved bystanders, members of the club conduct their business in the far shadows of society. Federal law enforcement discerned in a discovery that; Seeker's abide by an unerring set of authoritarian by-laws, of which ties each member to an expected standard. One of the bylaws in particular mentioning; forbidding members to unveil club related insignia when not around other members, while inside vehicles that isn't their own bike, or while doing illegal business with people outside of the club. Members found out to have violated these set rules can become victim of violent beatings or even killings. Ex-members who have been kicked out of the club, or have abandoned their creed, are viewed as "out-bad" and are subject to violent acts or murder. Seeker's in Crime Shady Creeks, Whetstone (June 5, 1988) A fight breaks out between local off duty law enforcement and members of Seeker's motorcycle club in a local roadside bar. With two off duty Sheriff's deputies sustaining concussions from head trauma and three Seeker's arrested. Blueberry, Red County (September 14, 1990) Local Sheriff's department disrupt a Seeker's hosted beach party assembly with close associates and club supporters. With several apprehended and no arrests made, indirectly contributing to Seeker's gaining local notoriety and a boom in recruitment. Angel Pine, Whetstone (August 6, 1991) Renegades motorcycle club clubhouse is targeted in a bombing perpetrated by members of Seeker's motorcycle club. The explosion left two bystanders dead, with two Renegades supporters wounded and another three Renegades members killed. Seeker's members Aaron Fisher and Otto Wright were arrested the following week by local law enforcement. Angel Pine, Whetstone (April 28, 1992) Federal law enforcement agents in joint operation with local Sheriff's Department raid Seeker's Angel Pine clubhouse and seize two ounces of methamphetamines, marijuana, multiple small arms and two sub-machine gun. Twelve Seeker's are arrested including president Larry 'Snout' Schnauzer. Rendering the Whetstone chapter obsolete. Hashburry, San Fierro (November 3, 1993) Two members of the Seeker's motorcycle club and siblings Nathan and Adam Loveland were arrested on illegal firearm and narcotics charges, following San Fierro Police Department raid and seizure of 22.5 pounds of methamphetamines and two small arms handguns. The two brothers were setup in a law enforcement sting operation in a staged narcotics sales pitch. Ordered held without bail, the two brothers await court hearing scheduled for December 27, 1993. Calton Heights, San Fierro (December 4, 2007) Seeker's vice president Harry Olsen, aka, 'Dirty Boy' is arrested in his home early in the morning by A.T.F agents on several criminal charges, including the kidnapping and murder of late Renegades motorcycle club president Jeffery Kuklinski. Kuklinski had been found decapitated inside Olsen's basement in a freezer, Olsen had been preparing to dispose of the body later that night.1 point
