Hey all, I hope the start of the spring term is bringing out everyone's good moods now we're coming out of the gloomy rainy weather. We've got quite a bit to get through for this update, so stick around and have a good read through. First and foremost I'd like to share some positive stats; our SA-MP server has been doing very well in the last few months which can also be seen in the time spent in-game and the average peaks we reach every day. Just for comparison, here's two graphs showing the total playtime and peaks evolving over the last ~3 months: Happy to see it! I'll say the vibes both in-game and within the community just feel much more healthy and positive than they did come end of last year. I've to say I'm happy with where the community is headed in general. Private Skins Last week we launched a long-requested and anticipated premium feature: Private Skins. You can now upload your own skin mod (.dff and .txd) to use on the SA-MP server. Everyone will see your skin in-game! To request a Private Skin, head over to the UCP > Premium Central > Private Skins. We implemented a strict approval process to make sure silly skins don't get in-game (you MAY see me in a Mr. Bean skin on admin duty, sorry immersion frogs). We will only approve skins that are appropriate and do not break any server rules. We also intend on this being an exclusive feature, since we don't want everyone on the server having to download hundreds of unused private skins when they log in. You can read the Private Skin Rules here. Illegal Faction Team Update We'd like to start be announcing the return of The Bellantonio Crime Family as an official faction once again. Some of you may be aware that Bellantonio have had their fair share of issues in the past, however they've worked tirelessly to produce high quality roleplay for the server ever since. Following several months of candidacy, we're happy to announce their return - Welcome back! 🦊🍷 Further to this, to shed some light on a recent post which had an effect on Official Factions in general. Stockpiling has become quite a serious issue which the Illegal Faction Council are taking steps to resolve. This month, Official Factions were subject to an In-Character event which has been implemented in collaboration with PD & SD leadership in order to provide roleplay for everyone involved rather than implementing these restrictions as an OOC measure. Moving forward, Official Factions (and scheme holders) will be subject to limited amounts of weapons through their warehouses and schemes. We understand almost everyone, including the general playerbase, has incredible stashes from pre-closure of SAMP however this has been compounded by the fact that warehouses are still available to Official Factions, leading to these stashes growing instead of depleting over recent months. Moving forward, warehouse access and logs will be under scrutiny from the Illegal Faction Council as we hope to achieve some reduction in stockpiling, and improve the flow of guns throughout the server. Following feedback from our Illegal Faction Team, we're also working on increasing the weapon price agreement. Right now, weapons are being bought at very low profit margins and sold on by the buyers for ludacris prices. The increase in the weapon agreement only applies to Official Faction & Scheme Holders to allow them to reap actual benefit from the sale of weapons. This is subject to review/change and will be closely monitored and enforced by the Illegal Faction Team & Council. This will be announced once the figures are finalised. Schemes: Illegal Faction Team have been working hard on a number of things throughout this month. In December-January, a number of schemes were put on the back-burner as adjustments were required before they could reopen. Drug Scheme, Strawman Scheme, Melee Scheme and Turf Requests have all been assigned a new 'Head of' each respective scheme. Drug Scheme and Strawman for both faction and solo roleplayers have opened this month, and accepted candidates have been selected and set up. We hope to regularly open these schemes moving forward to keep rewarding players for showcasing high quality roleplay, and activity on the server. We've also been working with @Rye and @Scumpy who oversee Scenario Scheme applications, and have introduced a new use for the scheme as a temporary measure in place of scripted drug manufacturing. Players who are approve in their application can now roleplay the manufacturing of crack cocaine and through the scheme, an admin will then reward them with crack in place of their cocaine. Our Scenario Schemes are extremely flexible, and we'll always do our best to try to support those who apply for it. If you have an idea you believe the Scenario Scheme can help with, please feel free to apply. For more information, please click here. Drug Decay: Drug decay is back by popular demand! We announced this approximately two weeks ago, and allowed for a two week grace period before the decay kicks in. As of 29 March 2025, decay is live - while IFC & the general community would've preferred for all stashes from prior to the server closing would be wiped/depleted significantly, this isn't something that the script can necessarily identify. Drug decay can be managed dynamically in-game, and we'll be closely monitoring the effects and strength of decay on drugs of all kinds throughout the server. For more information regarding decay and the drug system, click here. Illegal Faction Team: We've decided to reopen Illegal Faction Team applications this week. While we're still very focused on improving the illegal faction scene for our SAMP server. We've also been making alot of progress alongside our Development Team on RAGE/LSRP:V. @Dos Santos as previously mentioned in our last update is very much invested in RAGE and we'd like to appeal to anyone with an interest in supporting LSRP:V to reach out to any member of the Illegal Faction Council with an expression of interest. Interest in RAGE/LSRP:V is not necessary however, if you'd like to work with us on SAMP, please feel free to apply too as we're always looking for dedicated and active members to support our SAMP server. If you'd like to apply for Illegal Faction Team, please click here. Mapping Team Update Our Mapping Team have been hard at work for the last month or so bringing some updates to existing maps at request of factions in different parts of the map, we are currently in a testing phase and expect to see them in game very soon. Our mapping team is more active than ever, if you have anything you feel would bring a well needed update to the map then please don't hesitate to reach out to the Mapping Team Leader @Fiellavin. Below are some examples of the maps coming: Event Team Update March has been a successful month for our Event Team, we've held some large scale events, some of the ones that are memorable are the St Patricks Day Event and the most recent Flexing Loud Festival. We saw massive turn outs for both of these events and the other ones held within the community. These would not be possible without our Events Team, if you're interested in bringing new ideas forward then please reach out to @JustSid if you're interested to join, below are some images from the above events. Staff Update March has been a very good month for the community as a whole, consistently reach high numbers of players on our server. But with an increase number of players we received an even larger increase of work for that the staff team work on and plow through each and every month, before I move on and share promotions within the team I want to share some of the key stats: There were a total of 3418 reports handled There were a total of 3382 help requests handled There were a total of 17 refund requests handled There were a total of 63 forum reports handled There were a total of 305 character applications handled This is just a small insight to what our staff team have to deal with a monthly basis while also indulging in their own roleplay and positions they are in, whether it be faction, companies and more. I want to give them a massive shoutout and thank you. The number of applications coming through is great to see and I want to give a warm welcome to the new players in our community, I hope our team is welcoming and provides the best possible experience for you! Moving on, congratulations to our newly promoted staff members: Senior Admin Lemon Trainee Admin demigod — alooshy

Trevor Roadman was born Trevor O'Toole in Blueberry, a small farming town in Red County, San Andreas. He grew up in a dysfunctional family of Irish and Dutch Americans. Ronald O'Toole, Trevor's father, was born in Hoboken, Liberty City, in 1945. His family had immigrated from County Clare, Ireland, in the early 1900s. Ronald’s upbringing was tough. His mother passed away during childbirth, and his father, Conan, was a drunk and opium addict who worked in the assembly factories. The struggles his family faced made it difficult to adjust to city life. Conan passed away from his addictions in 1961 when Ronald was just 16, a member of a rough Irish-American gang in Hove Beach, Liberty City. At 18, Ronald was arrested for armed robbery in Newport and was offered the chance to join the United States Marine Corps to avoid prison. He took the deal, underwent training at Marine Corps Base Quantico (now located in Easter Bay, San Andreas), and served in the 1st Marine Division during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1968. During the war, he earned the nickname "Apache" after his brutal tactics against the North Vietnamese Army, including scalping enemies and using a Ka-Bar knife in close combat. He earned a Purple Heart but was injured during the Tet Offensive in 1968. After being honorably discharged in 1969, Ronald moved to Easter Bay, near Camp Pendleton, and resumed his life of crime, specializing in armed robberies and hijacking. He was arrested multiple times but acquitted due to lack of evidence. Effectively the rising cost of living in Easter Bay pushed him to return to Hoboken, where he joined the local police force in 1974. In 1978, he rose to the rank of detective but became involved in corruption, dealing drugs, and exploiting his position for personal gain. In 1979, after his corrupt activities were exposed, he was kicked out of the police force and returned to his family's apartment in Morris Park, San Fierro, to avoid retaliation. Trevor was born in March 1980, and by the age of 12, he was already prone to violence and comfortable with it, influenced by his father’s war stories. His mother, influenced by her own family’s trauma during the Nazi occupation of Europe. Trevor’s early years were marked by violence, including an arrest for attacking a rival gang member in defense of fellow gang member, which led to his brief stint in juvenile hall. By 15, Trevor was drawn into street gangs. He joined the Morris Park Gangster Peckerwoods, a predominantly white street gang operating in San Fierro. At 17, Trevor found himself in jail again for a gang related attack. Once again, he was offered the chance to join the United States Marine Corps as an alternative to incarceration. He accepted and underwent training at Camp Pendleton before being posted with the II Marine Expeditionary Force. During his military service, Trevor's beliefs and views became more extreme, especially after the start of the Afghan War in 2001. He re-enlisted in 2003 and later joined United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command. He served multiple tours in Afghanistan before his reckless behavior and unorthodox methods forced him into early retirement in 2009. Returning to San Fierro, he found himself incarcerated again for an assault & battery charge at a downtown SF bar. After serving a year at San Fierro Correctional Facility, Trevor left San Fierro and affiliated with the Lost and Angels of Death Motorcycle Clubs, hopping between clubs across the East Coast and Midwest. In 2012, Trevor legally changed his name to Trevor Roadman, a nod to his pseudo interest in Native American culture. He was attempting to distance himself from his father and the past that haunted him. Eventually, Trevor made his way to Los Santos. There, he became involved with a local biker gang, eventually rising to the position of Vice President. After the President of the gang was sentenced to prison, Trevor took control of the gang’s operations. In 2014, Trevor and his old friend Randall Hout, Jord Drum founded the White Knights Motorcycle Club in Blueberry, Los Santos County, competing to dominate the methamphetamine trade in the area. However, in late 2014, Trevor was arrested for involuntary manslaughter after an intruder was shot dead at his mobile home. After serving nine months at San Andreas Correctional Facility, Trevor was released on probation. He later relocated to Cardinal Park, a neighborhood with mixed racial demographics in West Los Santos, where he became associated with the Cardinal Park Skinheads. Following a fallout with the Cardinal Park Skinheads, and several high profile shootings including a confidential informant. Trevor with his connections during his last stint became familiar with the Nazi Lowriders (NLR) in 2015. Trevor began expanding his operations in Tierra Robada County, Bone County, and Las Venturas, where he was heavily involved in the production and manufacturing of methamphetamine, armed robbery, contract killings and money laundering. In 2015, Trevor’s criminal activities, particularly his involvement in the methamphetamine trade and a series of violent events, caught the attention of federal law enforcement. A lengthy investigation into his operations culminated in a federal indictment. Trevor was charged with a series of serious offenses, including drug trafficking, organized crime, conspiracy to commit murder, money laundering, and firearms violations. The charges were too numerous to avoid, and despite his attempts to use his connections to fight the case, Trevor was sentenced to a decade in federal prison. During his time at the federal penitentiary, Trevor faced constant battles, both physical and psychological. The harsh conditions of the facility were a reminder of the life he had led and the damage it had done to him. He spent his days brooding over his violent past, the betrayals that came from his criminal network, and his strained relationship with his family. Trevor spent significant time in solitary confinement, an outcome of his violent outbursts and refusal to conform to prison authority. However, the time also gave him the opportunity to reflect on his life, and Trevor began to build a new understanding of himself—far from the impulsive, reckless individual he had once been. By late 2024, Trevor was released on parole after serving nearly 9 years of his 10-year sentence. Upon release, he was determined to make a fresh start, but the world he had left behind had changed. His old allies had scattered or been arrested, and the biker scene he once dominated had fractured. It wasn't long before he reconnected with some of his old associates—people who had been part of the underworld network that once operated throughout San Andreas. The surviving members of his former motorcycle gang, the White Knights, had evolved, with a shift toward larger, more organized criminal activities. These former associates had rebranded themselves, morphing into a more powerful and ruthless force in the criminal world. They had become the Barons Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, a new club that dealt in everything from high-end heists to arms smuggling and drug distribution. The Barons were known for their brutal tactics, high-profile alliances with organized crime families, and the fear they instilled in their enemies. Despite his time away, Trevor's reputation was still feared, and his name carried weight in the criminal world. Recognizing that the Barons could offer him the power and leverage he had long craved, Trevor rejoined the gang but not as a patched member. He was welcomed back with open arms, both for his past accomplishments and his renewed ambition. His return brought a sense of legitimacy to the Barons, and he quickly reasserted his dominance for the organization. As of 2025, now free from parole and out of prison, Trevor's future was uncertain, but one thing was clear: his appetite for power, control, and chaos remained undiminished. The Barons had their sights set on new, lucrative criminal endeavors across the globe, and Trevor was at the center of it all, ready to lead the charge into a new era of lawlessness. With his past as a soldier, gang member, and outlaw behind him, Slayer "Roadman" had once again become a name to be feared in the criminal underworld.
