Homegrown Hustling (volume iii)

I'll just put down my two cents when it comes to talking about staff members not replying to you the way you feel is just, remember that as you are grown man(mostly likely), there's also a grown man on the other side of the screen reading your comment. Maybe if your comment isn't hostile and given properly, you can get a proper answer back without making your discussion partner feel threatened. If your comment is "fix this cause it looks like shit", you will get a shitty reply back, and that's common sense IRL. If you are an adult as you state, I don't know how you expect someone to be so professional and well mannered for something they are not getting paid for. Hell, sometimes even when you're at work and someone talks to you shitty, you might reply back aggressively. Imagine for a gaming community. Each day isn't the same, someone might have a hard day at work and come back to do your mapping or scripting so they chill and get away from things. Imagine if that person comes on the forums after their work is shown to the community and the feedback is like the ones I read before, to a mapping that it reads with RED LETTERS on top that "It isn't final work". You really need to take a chill and think that someone, whoever that was, who took time from their day to make it - probably isn't in the mood to read your negative feedback in the way you state it, which is 80% of the times impolite and very harsh. I don't say that for something specific said over here right now, but I saw again the "some staff take things defensively". There's two sides of the coin, you just gotta put your ego away. And I hold Staff accountable for that too (including myself).

The nonsense spam and flame is to stop, warnings issued and bans will follow for those who can't contribute without being petulant.

If you think you can do it better, put an app in.

keep it up!!

Murriccaa, some convoy driving!

Greetings LS-RP! Over the past few days, I have been working to make LS-RP a better place for both staff and players. Firstly, I want to address some issues within the staff team, as they have been mentioned multiple times by both community members and staff. We have started to remove inactive members from the team. By the end of the month, all of our current "dead weight" will be removed. After receiving suggestions here and internally within the staff team, I’ve revised some of our policies. One of the revisions concerns the rule that admins can’t handle their own situations. While the policy wasn’t explicitly worded this way, it was intended to prevent conflicts of interest or bias when admins were involved in situations. Admins could handle these situations if no other admin was available, but this was often misunderstood and didn’t happen in practice. For the sake of both players and the admin team, this rule has been removed. The admin team is now expected to use common sense, along with the training they received during their Trainee Admin phase. Regarding policies, we’ve clarified our stance on "education over punishment." I believe this stance was misunderstood and taken too literally. Since the rule was introduced, there has been excessive leniency within the staff team when it comes to punishments. For example, you might have seen a level 30 player breaking basic rules and receiving multiple warnings instead of being properly punished. Our Admin Team has now been instructed on how to handle these situations, and you will see us becoming stricter with those who have previously abused this leniency. In the past week or so, we’ve also increased the number of active mappers and modders on the team. You may have seen some of their work on our Discord. For those who haven’t, I’ll display some examples below that will be included in our next update. The following is a WIP / Example of what the mapping team is up to, this is to do some long awaited map updates (THIS IS NOT FINAL AND CAN CHANGE) : Along with this, I’ve worked with IFT/IFTC to establish a direct line of communication between our teams. This is aimed at improving wait times, communication, and addressing the various concerns that have been brought up in this thread. A special shout-out to anyone who has previously had issues with requesting maps or receiving responses from the modding or mapping teams. If you have maps ready and just need them added, feel free to send them over to me, and we’ll verify and add them. One key point that has been raised is the new player experience. As @ROZE is our Head of Player Experience for SA-MP, I’ve asked him to investigate how leadership and development can improve this experience from the very beginning. We’ll have more insight and information on this soon. If you have any clear examples, please direct them to @ROZE. I know there are many more points in this thread, but I hope this provides the transparency the community has been seeking. I will be working through the thread and taking everything into consideration, addressing quick wins where possible. Larger and more complex issues may take time to resolve, but I appreciate that the time to act is now, and we are doing just that. I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas festivities and spending time with loved ones. That’s all from me for now. Peace & Love, Jack

Was great to have our friend Luigi Mangione over at Sharky's December 4th, from 6am-9am.

The Hop Sing Tong has a storied history in the United States going back to 1875. Originally set up as a meeting ground and place for Chinese immigrants, it soon became a place for criminal elements to set up in the land of opportunity. This major Tong has been quiet since the public murder of high profile member Benjamin Huang in 2020. With his demise, Chinese influence at the San Fierro docks and across the state as a whole, only went quieter instead of disappearing. The Hop Sing Tong is still a prevalent organization across the State of San Andreas and its' membership reaches into many facets of Chinese American society across the state. One can only wonder what they’ve been up to in the mean-time.

The Sureño Car Sureño (Southerner/Southern/Kanpolero) cars on prison yards across San Andreas are constituted uniformly. Any Hispanic inmates from cities and townships in Southern San Andreas, regardless of gang affiliation, are expected to "program" (serve out their sentence) under the authority of the Sureño car. Those who defy this expectation are ordinarily considered "race traitors" and are to be "removed" from the yard. The Sureño car is primarily made up of Mexican-Americans who identify as affiliating with a specific Sureño gang on the streets of Southern San Andreas. A smaller number of Hispanic individuals of other descent (Central Americans) also "clique up" with the Sureño car, usually from gangs such as 18th Street and Mara Salvatrucha 13, who pay taxes to the Mexican Mafia. Mexican or Central American nationals ("paisas") also clique up with the Sureños on certain yards if they do not have their own car. Owing to their history of association with the Mexican Mafia, Armenian inmates from tax-paying gangs and organizations are also expected to clique up with the Sureños. Exceptions can be made for White, Asian and even Black inmates from Sureño gangs and most cars have a few such members. The Sureño car is politically aligned with the White car on all San Andreas yards. Both cars are united against the Black and Norteño cars in times of conflict, though conflict between them is also known to occur, most often over gambling debts and drug debts. The term 'kanpol' translates as 'southerner' in the ancient Aztec language of Nahuatl, which has historically been used by certain hardcore members of the Mexican Mafia to communicate in code. The terms 'kanpol' and 'kanpolero' are used proudly by members of the Sureño car to refer to one another. A 'kanpolero' is understood to be an inmate who has proven he is a peg above the standard Sureño, and has proven himself to be committed to "la causa". The Mexican Mafia is likely to pick its soldiers and workers from the kanpoleros within the Sureño car, who are then known as "camaradas". The Mexican Mafia The Mexican Mafia (a/k/a 'La/The Eme', 'Emily', 'Maria', 'Mariposa', 'The Hand') is a Mexican-American criminal organization which was founded by juvenile felons incarcerated alongside older convicts in "vocational institutions". These juvenile felons were rumored to have been thirteen in number, though this is likely a legend propagated by Mexican Mafia cadres. They were members of Mexican-American street gangs who had been incarcerated for violent crime and street gang related crime. Since its founding in 1957, the criminal organization has grown to be one of the most powerful forces within the criminal underworld in the San Andreas correctional system despite its comparably tiny size. The organization is infamous for its unwavering influence over Hispanic street gangs throughout Southern San Andreas. The Mexican Mafia maintains the elitist image set forth by its founders and as such, is primarily concerned with recruiting only the most predatory, most violent and (in recent times) the most financially astute inmates from among the incarcerated Hispanic population. Becoming part of this tiny core is a goal aspired to by many local Hispanic gang members, who are raised to treat their "big homies" in the Mafia as demigods. In order to become a fully inducted member of the Mexican Mafia, it is generally accepted that you must be a man who's a member of a Sureño gang, 18th Street gang or Mara Salvatrucha 13 set, most of which are located in the organization's power base - Los Santos. Individuals who were not members of street gangs were initially mostly passed over for induction, however the gang's transformation from a strict prison gang into a major organized crime body resulted in a shift in priorities and being a gang member is no longer a major criterion for candidacy. However, most members still have origins in street gangs. The makeup of the organization's member base is rather diverse, despite the gang's name. Hispanics of a background other than Mexican are accepted into the organization and considered part of the united Hispanic "raza", though such members are far less numerous. Individuals belonging to Armenian-American street gangs such as Armenian Power can be welcomed into the organization's ranks, due to their history of loyalty to the organization that resulted from the Armenian community's integration with Hispanic communities. Hardline Mexican Mafia members are still known to oppose the induction of Armenian individuals, however. The Mexican Mafia has also had several White or partially White members, and at least one Asian-American member. These exceptions were all individuals who were members of some type of Sureño gang, and therefore identified with the Southern Hispanic "car" once incarcerated and were exposed to the Mexican Mafia. Dropouts claim that even a member of a Norteño gang could technically be inducted into the organization without issue, so long as he was not affiliated to the rival Nuestra Familia gang in any way. The Mexican Mafia and the Sureño Car The Sureño car submits completely to the authority of the Mexican Mafia. All rules and regulations enforced by a Sureño car anywhere in San Andreas have been approved or specifically put in place by a member, or group of members, of the Mexican Mafia. Higher level political decisions relating to the car are also usually deferred directly to a member of the Mexican Mafia. Lower level political decisions are entrusted to the jurisdiction of appointed representatives of the Mexican Mafia on general population yards (as most of the Mexican Mafia are serving their sentences in Secure Housing Units). Representatives of the Mexican Mafia's interests are personally responsible for all decisions they make, and will be marked for death by the 'Eme' if they fail to carry out their duties. The "shotcaller" (or shotcallers) for the Sureño car on any level 3 or 4 prison yard in the state of San Andreas are likely to be in direct contact with the Mexican Mafia and draw all of their authority from approval by the Mexican Mafia, even if there is no Mexican Mafia presence in that institution. The Mexican Mafia recruits almost all of its members from the ranks of Sureño cars across the state. Any proposed candidate who has not served time in prison somewhere is likely to be rejected specifically for that reason. The "Eme" maintains its grip over the narcotics trade, and the Southern Hispanic inmate population in general, through sheer brutal violence. Killings ordered by the Mexican Mafia have historically been easy for authorities to identify because the victim is characteristically stabbed many dozens of times, rather than simply once or twice. Southern Hispanic inmates are often eager, not merely willing, to carry out such killings because of the immediate boost in status which will result. Every year a large proportion of the killings and non-fatal stabbings which take place within state custody are attributed directly to the Mexican Mafia or indirectly to its Associates in General Population, who have the power to order most types of hits. Those targeted are usually sex offenders, gang-affiliated African American inmates, Hispanics affiliated with "green lit" gangs, Norteños or those who simply offend the Mexican Mafia by breaking the "reglas" ('rules') set out by the organization. April 2, 1975 SAN QUENTIN STATE PRISON - Mexican Mafia veteran Juan "Diablo" Fortuna of Locotes 13 is released from CDC custody at age 30 and back to the streets of Los Santos after 13 years in prison.

Numerous other Los Locotes members are alleged to have been working for Fortuna during this time.

October 19, 1994 SAN ANDREAS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY - Future Emeros "Mowgli" Ayala and Frank "Boxer" Noriega, along with Eme associate Gerardo "Chimuelo" Campa, stab Verona 13 member Luis "Tenga" Cueva to death in his cell.

August, 2004 LOS SANTOS - San Andreas' most powerful 18th Street gang, the 18th Street Willowfield Gangsters, are brought into the fold and begin paying tax to "Shady" Romo. It is alleged that the Mexican Mafia had waged a targeted campaign of harassment against 18WGS shotcallers who were incarcerated in state custody, and on gang affiliates on the streets. The Eme eventually forced the gang's submission through brutally heinous shootings and stabbings which LSPD's Gang Support Section believed were specifically designed to instill fear in the rank and file. A prominent turning point in the campaign came when Eme enforcers Daniel "Huero Mud" Baca and Joseph "Tokyo Joe" Ito shot a 15-year old 18WGS affiliate dead on the corner of Arbutus and Clifton. Both shooters were acquitted on the grounds of a technicality. Despite the brutal extremity of the campaign, some 18WGS members would later go on to become strong Mexican Mafia allies.

November 1, 2008 LOS SANTOS - "Shady" Romo is transferred off A-Yard at San Andreas Correctional Facility. His wife, Cynthia "Sad Eyes" Ramirez, believed to be controlling East Los Santos and collecting tax on his behalf, is slain soon after. Canto Patos 13, strong allies of Romo and Ramirez, are believed to be behind the murder, however no suspect is ever charged. "Mowgli" Ayala assumes control of East Los Santos in the aftermath, making use of his strong ties to Sureño gangs in the Swan Lake and greater Las Colinas areas.

while watching this thread something grew in my pants, then I realized...

Jack has mentioned that if you've got mapping ready to be added to shoot him a message. Without making an excuse, mapping requests can go unnoticed/aren't followed up on till weeks later etc or any other circumstance like it being buggy etc, but if you have any mapping or anyone else for the matter of fact, message Jack with it.

Both interiors look good. Great work!

This is the most dumb as rocks response I’ve ever read. If you’ve got nothing nice to say or Atleast nothing constructive then don’t say it at all. What help are you submitting this message to rub your little ethug persona a bit of pride. The modding team are working hard and making some cool shit. It’s a step in the right direction; if you give them praise and constructive feedback they can learn and improve. Lead don’t command it’s not rocket science. Show people a better way forward instead of barking stupidity like “you gotta resign”. have a sense of community about you.

This guy got some crazy mapping skills checked through his channel and he got some nice projects. Idlewood would look way better with maps like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZqbTU7uj-o

What do you think this is g, some public scandal? LMFAO Im not resigning, nor is any of my staff, like I said, if you think you can do it better, feel free to apply, I’ll accept your app right now, but as far as I can see, your just yapping and you probably don’t even know how to mod.

nice, nice. gl

Please don't defect & make this about me when i literally gave a solution to the problem. I have a literal mod showroom…let’s stop this nonsense. Not everyone is going to agree.

For the love of God please contact Lisiu for mapping. Take notes or something from his work. https://youtube.com/@lisiu?si=muBtP7A9WKfmarGi All this half assed mapping but PD stations have a ton of custom buildings, mapping & models is ridiculous. I hate we are seeing these types of changes/additions as the server withers away because staff didn’t like how we addressed things. Its been nothing but low effort from the modding team, just look at the skins. ANYONE couldve made these.

Regardless of what the mapping looks like, saying "yo that mapping looks shit bro XDDDD" isn't constructive at all, nor does it help anyone. These people are trying to help the server by making new areas to roleplay in for factions and you shit on their hard work? I'm all for constructive criticism, but one-liner insults is not constructive criticism. You have to understand that these people are not being paid, they're doing it out of love for the community, as is the same with the modding team. If you think that you can do better, and want to contribute, please by all means apply to the mapping team.

I've been trying to get some mapping added around Jefferson since (checks logs) 2019. Since the re-opening I've been PMing back and forth with Caledonite and all I got was fuck all. Even got somebody to help us out, did parts of the mapping and when we needed help with a few things, nobody could be assed to give us a hand. And then, my ideas got shut down because they don't fit with the LS theme. Thank fuck the DayZ mapping fits. And its conveniently outside of our turf, great. After seeing the 656th precinct added and mapping done in bum fuck no where near the prison, I gave up hope. God forbid one of the largest faction on the server (that struggles with retaining players btw) and is still active gets some features added in to motivate people to play even more and just add something new to the scene. Or at least checking in with us "hey guys, check out his DayZ corner yall can do shoot outs in, ya like?". Had to see the abomination through leaked staff chats. Smh. Anyway I lost all hope atp. Edit: 38St has the same issues as well. And from what I can see, the mapping that 38St did themselves and asked to get added to the server, and the shit I just seen above, doesn't fucking match at all. But I guess communication is hard in 2024. Edit 2: On second glance, thank fuck for the hobo-land corner on east LS. I bet it will get the spot jumping. Why is the mapping team hell bent on creating mapping that benefits nobody and doesn't bother checking in with ACTIVE FACTIONS ON THE SERVER? Where RP is actually being done? Where the mapping can be used most? Fking hell.

Arrival of new fleet!

I have already made a video on why the state of SAMP roleplay and LSRP as a whole. Yet staff does not acknowledge much of what the community says, myself included. Ive had staff become angry all because I critiqued their mapping. Most if not all the mapping that has been implemented during the years have been overly buggy, horribly optimized and mostly DO NOT FIT with the San Andreas atmosphere/aesthetic in my opinion. Idlewood pizza stacks is cancer and they need to move mallrats somewhere else. The server has been the literal same and nothing positive has actually happened, just more deathmatch, hackers, & complaints about the new system thats been implemented. The server needs a entire revamp itself if they even wanted to see a crumb of NEW players and not just returning ones for nostalgic purposes. We all know staff is gonna downplay this comment but it needs a revamp and there gonna say “what u think we should do?” and ill say it again REVAMP THE SERVER ITS 2024 GOING ON 2025. There is no reason why the most popular rp server has the most outdated features and wonder why people crash out over mere boredom. - REVAMP Los Santos. Time after time I ask staff to reach out to a youtuber who goes by the name Lisiu, he is a talented modder and specializes in making lore friendly SA style mapping. Staff tried to tell me his mapping is only for MTA but it is not and has been debunked several times already. You give people something new to look at they may just hop on - FIX THE ECONOMY, money is practically useless on this server, nobody wants to spend half of their time grinding just to get a shitbox house for 20 million. Homes need to undergo a new system. We have already discussed how the auction system is abused regularly - ADD MORE SCRIPTS, stop being so prideful and add some rpg like elements to the server. nobody wants to /me out everything they roleplay and a big example of that is a GYM! Add some workout animations, actually give us the opportunity to workout n stuff without it actually contributing to stats, we just want more stuff to roleplay. Other honorable mentions are: - A minimalistic stats/inventory system - Updated phone system - Updated weapons system (meaning 1 or 2 mags per weapons, different damages etc.) - Actual staff members who consider instead of downplaying peoples suggestions, i see more people look for bad than good under these threads.

Cool that's just how I feel about it, it looks dogshit, but what about the other two people who were criticizing your work in a nice way? Are they also a dick? You had Bandemic and another person whose messages have been deleted who gave you an entire paragraph on why the mapping looks dogshit: You sat there and proceeded to try and argue with a person from LA, born and raised in LA, hell his whole life he's been in LA about how the mapping actually looks like something from LA IRL. You sat there and called him emotional, that he's raging. I said it looks dogshit cause that's how I felt it looked like, I'm not sugarcoating anything and never will, too bad if you think my opinion is harsh. I could not care about 14.0 and what it brings, good for Cake and the illegal roleplay community, I'm over here bringing up the fact that some staff members do not take kindly to criticism and would rather respond in a hostile matter instead of actually tackling the issue of why certain people do not like it. Just cause I make a few good mods does that give me the authorization to argue with people about how my mapping looks perfect 24/7? No. I'm done posting on this thread as it seems like I hit the wrong spot for certain people here.
