Scam or Get Scammed Part II

Saint Valenti's day party.....

Hi, maybe the perspective of a complete newbie will help to shed a different light on this situation. This text has nothing to do with you personally, quite the opposite, you are actually one of the admins mentioned below with whom I have only had positive experiences so far! First of all: Before January 9th I never had an LSRP account or a character here, even though I already knew about this server OOC since 2015/2016, the thought of RPing in English (not my native language) had simply scared me off, even though I can prove over 9000 hours of RP experience on German servers. So feel free to interpret my situation as someone who has no idea what he is talking about here on LSRP. The team members I have dealt with so far have all been very friendly and helpful. Be it tester, admin, event team, mapper or leadership. Of course, there is always the situation where you as an experienced team member/user think: WTF is this dude really new? Something like this still exists in the year 2025? How would I describe my feeling here, what I have on average? Sometimes exciting because it's new, sometimes confusing, sometimes incomprehensible. Because I sometimes meet different people with different RP levels and rarely find a uniform level among several people. You shouldn't ignore the group formation of the different factions (legal or illegal), of course it's their right to only deal with their own people, but you should be able to agree on a common level in terms of "external impact", which also gives the Team Members a more peaceful life and the opportunity to do more roleplay themselves. On my legal character, for example, there has hardly been a situation so far where a "character from the criminal scene" behaved so badly that I think that would be worthy of a report. Sure, some characters are a bit... more hot-tempered or dominant, but that's roleplay. It's been pretty much the same with my female character so far, even though I sometimes think... brother, at least make an effort if you're going to flirt with me. But even then, even though they's mostly accepted rejections with respect. Sure, sometimes they would say something "stupid", but that was understandable so as not to lose face in front of his boys. Everything went great internally on the illegal character, which I only did on the "invitation" of the thread creator. Super high-quality RP, great people, in terms of the story everything was mostly understandable (if the language barrier didn't kick in personally). But when some "action" started, it just gets confusing. Yesterday, for example, a random taxi came along that was already smoking, while several masked people were getting ready and trolling around. Then a PD car "coincidentally" drove by, which just happened to be alone in a public parking garage at night. And before the RP with the PD even started - there was a chase AND because one of the four passengers shot, everyone was sprayed down with M4s like Swiss cheese as soon as they got out (I didn't even get the chance to surrender or grab a weapon in any way, not even with an ass pull). -> But that's not meant to be a complaint or public humiliation, so no names. Nevertheless, as a newbie who is just trying to get a foothold, I find giving such a first impression... not conducive to role play. Of course you could play the card: "You're new, be quiet and watch out." But if you don't want any new ones, you should say so and not scare away the people behind them with such DM-worthy actions. Because I think that from a purely economic and qualitative point of view of the server, that is not in their interest. If you've read this far, thank you very much for your time reading my post! I really appreciate it. I hope you have a nice and successful week. Greetings, Wulgra

Port of East Beach __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Port of East Beach, also known as the Harbor Department of the City of Los Santos, is the second-busiest container port in the United States, after the Port of Los Santos, which it adjoins. Acting as a major gateway for US-Asian trade, the port occupies 3,200 acres (13 km²) of land with 25 miles (40 km) of waterfront in the city of East Beach, San Andreas. The Port of East Beach and approximately 25 miles (40 km) south of downtown Los Santos. The eaport generates approximately US$100 billion in trade and employs more than 316,00 people in Southern San Andreas. Early History (1911-1960) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The San Pedro Breakwater was started in 1899 and over time was expanded to protect the current site of the Port of East Beach. The Port of East Beach was founded on 800 acres (3.2 km2) of mudflats on June 24, 1911, at the mouth of the Los Santos River. The old Municipal Pier was rebuilt into the Municipal Wharf in 1925. In 1925 construction started on Pier A and Pier B, with opening of Pier A in 1930. By 1926 more than one million tons of cargo were handled, and additional piers were constructed to accommodate the growing business. In 1921, oil was discovered at the East Beach Oil Field on and around Signal Hill. In 1932, the fourth-largest oil field in the United States, Wilmington Oil Field, was discovered; much of this field was underneath East Beach and the harbor area itself. The hundreds of oil wells from Wilmington Oil Field provided oil revenues to the City of Los Santos. The first offshore oil well in the harbor was brought online in 1937, shortly after the discovery that the oil field far extended into the harbor. In the mid-1930s, the port was expanded, largely due to the need to transport oil to foreign markets, as the immense output of oil from the Los Santos Basin caused a glut in US markets. The extraction of hundreds of millions of barrels of oil caused concern for subsidence, as the overlying land collapsed into the empty space over time. Engineers and geologists were promptly assigned to the problem, building dikes for flood control at high tide. East Beach became a home port for the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet in 1932. In 1940 the navy purchased 105 acres on Terminal Island built the East Beach Naval Shipyard there. In 1946, after World War II, the Port of East Beach was established as "America's most modern port" with the completion of the first of nine clear-span transit sheds. Pier E was completed and Pier B was expanded to two times its size in 1949. Pierpoint Landing completed on Pier F in 1948, becoming a large sport fishing spot. Concerns regarding subsidence increased until Operation "Big Squirt," a water injection program, halted any progression of sinking land in 1960. Recent History (2012-present) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Between 2012 and 2014, as part of a decision made by the then Mayor of Los Santos, Rakesh Namir, the Port Authority operated as a branch of the Bureau of Public Utilities. This decision was eventually reversed by Mayor Frank Vaughn in 2015, autonomizing Port Authority operations as a seperate contract. In 2016, the San Andreas Longshore and Warehouse Union went on strike, closing down the ports of East Beach and Los Santos. The labor clash which lasted several days and caused ships to be backed up into the pacific ocean marked it the worst cargo traffic disruption at the East Beach and Los Santos harbors. The union, at the time, was objecting to Republican Governor Jesse Style's decision to nullify the terms of their contact, specifically prohibiting port security from conducting security-related duties in the dockyards. Mayor Frank Vaughn gave a speech, as did Representatives Jep Appelo and Katherine Summers in solidarity with the workers impacted by the injunction: primarily members of the SALWU Local 2. In 2019 and the following years, through numerous organizing rallies and an increase in collaboration among business, labor and government agencies, the International Brotherhood of Longshoreman (IBL) Local 1218 became the primary dock workers union on the Port of East Beach, representing most employees at the terminals. In 2020, a bill titled the Safe Shores Act of 2020 was introduced by Senate President Pro Tempore Eugene Park (D-3), establishing the San Andreas Harbor Department, the Office of the Harbor Department Chair, and the San Andreas Harbor Commission. The Board of Harbor Commissioners would oversee the operations, budgets, inspections and the development of regulatory codes and policies concerning the terminals, facilities and premises at the Port of San Fierro, the Port of East Beach and the Port of Los Santos. The Port of East Beach was the scene of Senator Eugene Park's assassination, following the announcement of Senator Charles Moreno's (D-5) run for the position of Lieutenant Governor. Economy __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The port's combined import and export value is nearly $100 billion per year. The seaport provides jobs, generates tax revenue, and supports retail and manufacturing businesses. More than $800 million a year is spent on wholesale distribution services in the city. In the City of Los Santos, port operations generate more than 230,000 jobs, with more than $10 billion a year going to distribution services in the city. On the state level, the Port of East Beach provides about 370,000 jobs and generates close to $5.6 billion a year in state and local tax revenues. Environment __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twin ports of Los Santos and East Beach are, together, the single largest source of air pollution in the metropolitan Los Santos area. Both ports have implemented a number of environmental programs to reduce pollution levels while continuing port growth. Governance __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Harbor Department The Harbor Commissioners set policies for the Port of Los Santos and the Port of East Beach. Commissioners are appointed by the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor and are confirmed by the State Senate. They may serve terms in increments of three month, without a term limit.

DRACO!!!

Tachhhh mocrooo!

Enjoy your ban, bro. Reported, if I find atleast 5 times you have done it, bye bye my cookie.

I was going to dismiss this thread after my initial post. It's easy to get cynical with this game after so long but having roleplayed with you twice, I'll give you a bit of constructive feedback that'll make your time here much more enjoyable: be humble. Learn to take an L. In fact, learn to take several Ls. Do not be tempted to take every issue in-game to local OOC or (god forbid) an admin sit. Your faction is new. Your characters are new. Nobody knows you. Los Santos wasn't built yesterday and there are established criminal groups and powerful characters still extant that have been pulling strings for years. You're clearly a good roleplayer and I can see that your heart is in the right place in the way you lead your faction and the way you've opened up this topic to community... but you've gotta chill out. Letting emergent roleplay affect your character in the long-term is one of the hallmarks of a great roleplayer. Tommy Collins needs to let in-game actions whittle him into a jigsaw piece fit for the puzzle that is the Los Santos criminal underworld. You're going to have an exceptionally difficult time doing it any other way, as players who couldn't separate their OOC ego from their character (a certain white rapper from New York City comes to mind) found out. You're right, the whole playerbase has never behaved as such but the average player has. Each of the main character domains (illegal; LEO; government/civilian) have been touched and reformed by players whose background in more refined forms of emergent roleplay has influenced the server as a whole. With the right crowd you can still feel the effects over a decade later. People fell in line not out of obligation to some OOC figurehead like Martin_Busato but because the practices they preached made the game more fun and more fair. But that code of conduct, much like it did on older text-heavy roleplay games like Habbo and TSRP, only works as long as everybody involved tows the line. We regulated this largely ICly through the use of CKs, only stepping OOC when the issue became particularly disruptive.

Not many people get annoyed with new players, even new players when they do it and you tell them via a PM or a /b they will be considerate and apologise, what is a big issue is so called GOOD RPers. Who have put hrs into server and are big levels.

@Romasa

good to still see ward around

AJDEE

MARCO POLO wake up we need more of this shit

Life's a Beach

Amazing.

I think people are just looking at the "Old" LS-RP with rose tinted glasses, there has never really been any unspoken code of conduct that the whole playerbase has abided by. Ever since the beginning of time the server has had newer players roaming around, breaking rules. Some have done it because they just don't fully grasp the concept of RP, some have done it because they don't care.

amazing, keep it going fellas!

Keep it up

Looks good, good luck!

Fucking Licata took all my money. How the hell can I afford Ozempic now?!

The LS-RP in your head has not existed since at least a few years prior to the closure. That's the best part of a decade at this point. The average new player cannot be trusted to be operating under the same unspoken code of conduct as in the past and why should they be expected to? The majority older community members, whose backgrounds in more mature, character-focused roleplay formats, have moved on or been spurned by poor staff decisions. The staff have never been the arbiters of good roleplay, only what is right and wrong in terms of player actions. Of course these newer players are going to be lead astray given their origins in more action-oriented games and the script's reliance on RPG mechanics and grinding. It's been memed to death over the years but the admins do actually have access to the mythical "logs" that will tell them exactly who has killed who. If you've been DMed and have sufficient evidence, the rules can be enforced. If a member of staff has told you otherwise, they're holding on to their green name for e-clout and little else. Report them as well while you're at it. Or just join Valenti.

I was really happy when my friend Robin (Unoriginal Gangster) introduced my first-ever character, Bernie Consola, to Valenti captain Nicholas Diopare. My character started hanging around with the likes of Francis Giansello, Robert Diopare, Philip LoCascio and Martin Busato. When I was added to the Valenti forum user group, it felt like I became a made guy. I stayed up all night reading through the private Valenti forums. I was a mess at school from the lack of sleep, but I didn't care. That black name on the forums was everything. My character didn't last long, though. @Martin_Busato killed him little over a month later. He even made Bernie dig his own grave...
