I'm surprised at the amounts of time my name was mentioned. All I did in the LSSD was promote capable people who have integrity and a vision for the faction with the correct experience. Despite people leaving cause they didn't get a shiny rank within a few ranks of one, trying to get listed on speedrun . com for their achievements in LSSD. We had certain people trying to go from DS to ES within a couple of months, when it took people years to achieve that rank for the first time. Kayayday and I were REINSTATED into ES based on our experience in the past and our ability to run factions unlike some people who had zero to no experience in handling the bureaucracy. I personally was involved in having people like Azuko promoted into ES by vouching for them and their abilities, so it's odd I'm shunned by them when I was their biggest supporter. Storm was promoted by agreement of LFM, Brasi and Azuko! Suprisingly Azuko agreed to it, but states the contrary here and I have nothing against Azuko, the opposite. I am one of his biggest supporters and I personally think he did a lot for the faction. Storm deserved the promotion. The only one to disagree with it was Unlawful on the basis of, "He has done nothing in TB, all he has done is work for WTU." We decided that the vote he cast was invalid because it contradicts itself. He states he has only done work for WTU and not TB, when WTU is actually part of TB. Once Storm was promoted to Commander, the faction was revived. Matt's promotion was denied because: 1) He constantly was AFK on duty to get ABAS up, once being /kicked by myself even admin-to-admin for AFKing in public. 2) He left abruptly and resigned himself from SOD without informing ES, until he had to be spoken to, to revert it. 3) He did not work much in ELS and openly told us he was not interested in it, this is documented in the Sheriff's private forum. Matt was capable at the end of his tenure and was due to be promoted to CPD Commander, but we had 0 reason to rush it and promote him 1-2 week(s) after his resignation from SOD. It felt like just a means to promote him and this was documented in the Sheriff's forum. Storm on the other hand, never resigned like Matt and co, always stayed in the faction and was loyal to the faction itself, not any specific person or resigned when he was made to wait for a promotion or assignment. Based on contributions, ABAS and divisional work, Storm was easily the best option to move up to Commander and even ES. Unlike others, he actually cared about the faction and not the rank. I'm surprised at the amount of lies people spew, especially things that are made up. I'm more disappointed about certain people who I always backed and thought highly of. Azuko, I never snaked him at all, so it's confusing to see people try to speak up about things that never happened. I think that LFM is a great asset to the server is working fine! Despite any accusations made against me, I did a lot for the faction and this cannot be denied. The best decision I made was promoting Kayayday and Storm & reinstating Duco. They truly care for the faction and will always run it like I imagined. As for ScubaStef, he was a notorious and prominent leaker within our faction, leading us on a "Catch Me if You Can" chase that lasted for a while, leaking private confidential faction material, at some point he even tried to bargain with ES saying he won't ajail @Paxton Bagwell if we complied with his demands in a recorded TeamSpeak conversation (I still have it), we did not comply, we have more integrity than that. He was warned about handling scenes and saying the N word on TeamSpeak. He kept being racist and this is also recorded and available. He kept handling scenes as an admin that were not allowed to handle. He was unfair to players. This is not to mention his unfairness during an admin situation as a player of LSSD. He came across a situation where a man had a shotgun /place'd in a car and ScubaSteve saw the gun cause of his illegal car modification (ScubaSteve's game, when he was so DM-hungry that he RPed it taped to the exhaust, when a normal Premier showed it was physically inside the car.) And he decided it must be RPed taped to the exhaust. This was absurd and wild. That's why we could not handle his quality of RP (or lack thereof). So I implore the staff team to open an inquiry into his position, as he was reported multiple times and even certain leads are confused as to why he is still an admin. A racist, leaker and RPG player does not belong on LS-RP. This is not to mention ScubaSteve spectates not just players, but admins randomly. (Stefan Castillo being the only person who was not at the place. He was spectating us without due cause and reason!) He is a notorious rule breaker, and it is surprising to see his kind still on the admin team. His warning of Storm on the forum is simply retaliation for his failed career in the LSSD. Despite the numerous allegations against my name, I did the best for the faction despite the coup d'etats orchestrated against my faction to get me removed. People were going around shopping for others to resign (Proof is available in the private Sheriff forum) and their coordination was lackluster which is why they failed. We even had people be friendly with us while leaking to others trying to get us removed, which is sad and unforunate. People tried to brownnose @Kayayday, @Storm or I and be all good-good with us but ended up trying to spy for others when we are simply ordinary and good-natured players, trying to find any fault with us. The very same people who tried to complain to LFM and still complain to LFM right now are ones who: 1) Want to bring back the SASD (2014 version) 2) Used SPAS-12 on SWAT deployment to undermine criminal RPers 3) Used Sultans to drive-by suspects and tried again to undermine our criminal RPers 4) Used admin commands (ScubaSteve) to identify criminal RPers while on TeamSpeak (leaking) to target them (documented in Sheriff forum) This is the things I can recall from the top of my head, but these people did not nor do they have the best intentions for the LSSD in their mind. They want to revert it to the stone age to increase shootings with the illegal faction population and at some point advocated for AIR patrols to call out guns anywhere. @Kayayday, @Duco and @Storm's administration is the opposite. They are with the illegal side of roleplayers which is why I promoted them. They are people who were around from the start of the server and handled it before. Not like certain people who have zero to no experience.

I love this and I love you

Scumbag gangsters / Grandson method I

This is fireee!

damn slobo is still going

my post may get deleted after this, but im not surprised at the playerbase dropping. you got admins like Eren banning players without even asking both parties what exactly is going on. ive been banned twice by eren and in both those occasions not once was i asked what am i doing, what lead to this xyz. never have i ever seen that happen on lsrp. what is this? a dictatorship? in my honest opinion, ifm never really had a backbone, they never really put their foot down and was too scared to outvote people in management and get rid of certain people who have clearly done wrong. as always, when you make a staff report, nothing really happens as the outcome. why is management too scared to get rid of staff members that are clearly incompetent and making the playerbase decrease even more? ive heard and seen so many scenes of ScubaStef trying to fish more DM, but when he gets absolutely killed in a scene, he tends to cry like a little baby. is this the attitude an admin should have? especially if you're on /duty and spawn back in with the guns. honestly @Iudex im not surprised ScubaStef is a notorious rulebreaker and leaker, people think they can get away because they're admin, and that tends to be the problem. when testers were reported at the peak of the server, the testers were clearly in the wrong but they were brought back because of "clean staff record" when it was blatant DM. why are we bringing back staff members who are blatantly rulebreaking and killing anyone and everyone for no reason? what on earth is "clean staff record" and "education over punishment"? i've seen someone with one ban from years ago get banned for DMing, this clearly isn't education over punishment people don't make staff reports because it's too much of an effort to go on the forums and wait weeks for it to get handled you remove admins like @Iudex who actually know what they're doing and how to actually administrate on the server, a good admin on the server. but yet you keep admins like scubastef who are abusing their position and singlehandedly ruining the playerbase

At this point throw the whole staff team out and start fresh with a select few

Weekly Drop — Tight Connection

You know I love you flip but this just isn’t true. When Spectre and IFM stonewalled the company enhancements update I was working on (still laughable), @Cake and I both said that we would dev purely stuff for illegal RPers to sweeten the deal. We never got a concrete answer on what they wanted.

Time to give @asapdev a fair chance. Cause we firstly need a consistent developer on the development of the SAMP server. If he is up for it! @Mmartin

I appreciate you my boy 💪🏼

I've issued two forum warnings (and may issue more) from this page alone. If this topic is going to turn into a back and forth and provide ABSOLUTELY no constructive ideas, I'll just go ahead and close it down. Most of us are adults with full time jobs. Let's start acting our age or I'll be giving out more forum warnings and temp bans.

i think the LSSD should take more people out into the desert and do more ISIS style execution rp in order for the legal scene to flourish .

Yeah, at this point Iudex needs to collabarate with his partner in crime, Paxton Bagwell.

This thread follows the journey of involved persons of Seeker's Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, a group tied to the Blanco-Longoria Drug Trafficking Organization. Our mission here is that we depict realistic 1%'er motorcycle club roleplay with some taken liberties for entertainment purposes and flavor for our shared immersion. A group deeply interwoven in narcotics, the concept of brotherly creed is nuanced by motives of power, drugs and money.

You was the definition of a Karen administrator you took it to serious and this why people acted the way they did with you in admin sits. Kudos to your work towards LSRP tho Let's be real people, you voice your opinion and get banned. When has MMartin ever replied on threads like these before trying to re open our once beloved LSRP, only when its in the mud and needs players to play. The management / staff team didn't have the minerals, got people like @spectre in charge of IFM and he's always had his best interest at heart.. dealt with this guy in serbs did everything in his power to get my fac closed and now he's head of IFM lool its laughable I actually tried contributing and playing with City Circle Mafia was met with bullshit and made us all quit, you pushed good players away cause of your mediocre like I'm sorry but how is Carly Rose a lead admin on a server like lsrp its actually hilarious how much of a downfall this server has come to... like I said, RIP LSRP 2007-2021 you frauds are destroying my once beloved server Hope my man Raymond Ward is still around kudos to you gang been watching from the sidelines but shit I didn't think it could get this bad.

Was asked to put my 2 cents in, so here goes. If you know me, you’ll know that my dedication to LSRP since relaunch (and for the last 14 years really) has been pretty strong. This changed in August this year. I was consistently doing the most in game reports, the most refund requests, the most insert menial task here, etcetera, all while leading a sub team and doing general admin shit on the side. My demotivation and burnout slowly started to set in because of a few things, I’m not going to name any names but if you know, you know. I don’t want this to be a bashing post, just a post from the heart. Bear in mind I’ve not touched LSRP really since August at this point. I’m going to say a majority of the admin team done absolutely fuck all to support others who actually cared about the community, whether this be in game reports or whatever. There was lead admins in game who would make a mockery of player reports in /a instead of actually dealing with them whilst I’m trying to deal with 2 reports and a refund at the same time, just to try and restore some faith in the team that were not lazy bastards and reports do get handled. My report statistics confirm this. I slowly got sick of this. Actually no, I quickly got sick of it. The knock on effect there is that why should I be bursting my balls while these guys sit in the same or higher positions than me whilst not giving a singular fuck, or abusing their positions to win RP situations and break rules and hack (I’m looking at you Xanakin, happy to name him as this is historic at this point) I then decided ok I’ll try help out in other ways. I joined the dev team and began writing and modifying scripts, ONLY based off of player suggestions. In my mind, doing what the players WANT was the right thing to do (within reason). The first “big feature” I worked on was company system enhancements, primarily company chat. I had most of the scripting done to then be let down like a Japanese pilot in the 40’s. I was simply told “nah FTC said no” this booked my piss and I argued and argued for it until they were basically told it’s happening whether you like it or not. This of course put a sour taste in my mouth too. The final straw for me which started my extensive absence was a result of a staff report, made against me by a lead admin at the time who didn’t like me because I publicly shamed him for his laziness every chance I could get. I got on one night after a few drinks and dealt with an admin sit (because would you look at that, the reporter didn’t bother to accept the report). Resolved the report pretty simply, all was good. The player who was reported was logging off and messing around so I chugged his ass into the dirt, revived him, refunded his weapon and that was that. No harm done, just a bit of fun! I find out the next day that I was going to be removed from the staff team for this ONE incident, despite me being the most active contributor (statistically) to the community at the time. This really set me off and I don’t think I’ve logged in to this day. I’ve really been trying to regain my spark for it but whenever I open up the SAMP client I take a totally legally acquired Xanax because I just can’t face it right now. The players for the most part are cool as fuck and you know who you are, but some of you are absolutely insufferable and I think you need a reality check. as those who have resigned have said, nothing is ever good enough. We could script the cure for cancer and someone would complain “but what about cerebral palsy?!” just my two cents, or dollars. Rambled on a bit here but here’s where I’m at right now. This isn’t a resignation, but just an explanation for my absence. I do love this place, but shit has to change and I’m not just talking about staff/management. I really do want this place to succeed man. Get a grip, everyone.

I'm not getting involved with the drama posted here before me. My reply is to the topic's original title: "Can we bring back the old playerbase count?". Do you remember when first joined LS-RP, reader? It was exciting being thrown into a world with loads of people living their own virtual lives, you were meeting new people, joining new groups, you were having fun and learning more about the community. Everything was new and you were impressed by the big factions and businesses. We still get a lot of new players here, and this is still the experience that they have when they join the server for the first time. I'm in the unique position to be running such a big company in game, I speak to a lot of new players, probably more than almost anybody in this community, my company receives about 3-5 applications a day, a majority of them being from new players. We give them a chance to learn how to rp and get to know them. I often ask these new players how they found out about LS-RP, what they like, what they don't like, and how they feel about things overall. I hear positive feedback from nearly 100% of the new players I speak to. Unfortunately when asking old players the same questions you will receive negative feedback from most people. The new car smell has worn off. My point in saying this is because one of my main goals as a new lead admin is to create a strategy to bring in new players and improve the player count. New players that end up sticking around are generally some of the nicest and most motivated people that I get to talk to. With the way things are setup right now, LS-RP is not user friendly for new people, we don't have an up to date tutorial, the news paper is gone, it's complicated for new people to join factions or jobs, the /help system is outdated, our website does not have a clear home page, etc etc. These are all things that will be worked on with urgency after the 14.0.0 update, which is coming very soon. When asking new players how they found LS-RP, an overwhelming majority of them say that they found us via YouTube. With this information in hand, I have recently been in discussions with a couple of prominent content creators in our area of roleplay, such as Userone, in order to gain feedback on how we can work with them to make the content-creation experience better for those looking to do so in LS-RP. In the coming days we will be launching a content creator program where people can earn credits, additional support, and recognition for their videos from the staff team. Making LS-RP user friendly to new people and creating a better platform for content creators, hopefully we can bring in new players and retain them, upping the overall player count. We also have plans to have our server back on the server browser. You can also help with upping the player count by being more open to new players, you were a new player once and people probably helped you, you might even still remember those great people from back when you first joined. A lot of people are extremely dismissive to new players.
