Black Organized Crime in modern day Los Angeles is decentralized - heavily rooted in prison networks, streetgangs, and out of state DTO's using the city as their stomping grounds. Our faction hosts a wide variety of characters to accurately reflect this. Great attention is placed on fostering long-running storylines that tie every person in the faction together, as well as offer depth to each individual one's portrayal. Membership is open to both new characters and pre-established ones used in streetgang factions or solo roleplay, queries about joining should be sent to @boris1 ,@Iamkaciii or @Gnarp.

Recruitment for the faction is done in-character, and you will be expected to follow the server rules while associating yourself with our image. Be respectful to those around you and dedicate yourself to your characters development within the faction. The aim of 38th Street is to create a realistic sureño environment in El Corona. The Discord is accessible for those who are interested in joining the faction, we're currently open to new members and encourage those who are looking for something fresh to try it out, if there are any questions feel free to contact @risen or connect to the Discord, where you can find some information about the faction and ask any questions you may have.

Our faction's main objective is to depict an authentic one-percenter motorcycle club, with a strong focus on individual character growth and fostering rich, immersive lore. We expect our members to maintain a high standard of roleplay and to familiarize themselves with the one-percenter culture before joining. If reliable resources are difficult to find, we’re more than happy to assist with character creation and provide materials to help players accurately portray a motorcycle club member. We recognize that real-life responsibilities such as work and family always take precedence over roleplay. While some may not fully grasp this, rest assured that joining our faction does not require you to be active every night of the week. Once you enter the prospecting phase, we reserve the right to issue a character kill if there is valid justification. However, this is always considered a last resort rather than a first option. For any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to @SPACEFUNK & @West$ider via the forums or in Discord.

Server around peak hours the other day had 30 people on, most of them who are just idling to collect paychecks, and you’re dick riding our activity because our members actually have shit to deal with in the real world and get on when they can. Fuck outta here.

I promise you'll get it soon they're just taking their time with the newsletter, OK? Edit: Jesse Nunes in the wizard hat looks crazy... You could say he's a... Warlock...? 😛

Sadly I'll have to lean on the same side as the comments above, fact is, the server’s overstaffed and half the staff aren’t even proper SAMP admins. The ones left are either incompetent or too tangled up in everything. When the people meant to enforce rules are the same ones writing and benefiting from them, the system collapses into a self-serving circle. The same guy doing drug schemes is the main investigator, the same guy doing company schemes is doing events, and I can keep going. Feels like 40% of the playerbase are staff "stakeholders". I've tried my best to add value to this server either through staff applications, scheme applications, company requests, etc. and every time I was not allowed to have the things that would develop my RP or allow me to have a smidge chance to change something. Additionally I've pointed out many times that the server glorifies illegal RP to the point where any attempt to do something outside of that scene feels like a waste of time. As for me - I’m stepping away from LS-RP entirely. I’ll be exploring other RP platforms and focusing on other games for now. You can only polish the same broken machine for so long. Last Friday at 8 PM my time the server had 25 players on and I'm not about to lose sleep just to meet someone I probably won't even enjoy playing with.

Happy 50! Quality group of people. Cheers to another 50!

LS-RP is in a very fragile place, with challenges that can be overcome however. We are dealing with the reality that many LSRPers seem to be in their 20s-30s these days and have real lives and that there is another server on a different game with a huge population. It's very easy for people to get frustrated and say "Fuck it I quit" then stop spending their precious few hours of free time on this server or to go back to the one with a huge population on a more modern game. However, the biggest issue the server faces is that since about 2015 the rift between the players and staff has gotten so massive. There are even members of the staff team who dislike the staff team. Back in 2015, when the server was the top game in town this wasn't as much of an issue, as your only other option was to play on much smaller servers with much noobier playerbases, but today people got options. I don't know the solution to overcoming this rift, on any server with such subjective moderating standards there is always going to be disagreement over everyone's view of the rules. However, what can be managed of course is game development, management-player feedback and speed of response to applications. I don't think the issue is SAMP, SAMP and this servers great history is what is giving it a playerbase. Most everyone here has a PC which can run GTA-V but chooses to play SAMP because it's our preferred game for whatever reason or we just love our factions and this servers lore so much we aren't ready to be done with them. Player retention, especially faction retention through having good dialogue with factions is crucial at this moment.

i love the game, i love the hustle man ..

"Black" organized crime?? Are you implying black African Americans commit felonies?

Hi everyone, With October over, and Halloween finally wrapped up, we have no doubt that within a blink of an eye it will soon be the "C" word (Christmas) and we're already preparing for our festive activities. The most notable event of the month was the Halloween event which was put together at the Dirty Lake and attended by our players. Without further ado, here's our October Community Update: Development Team With the upcoming re-launch of the RageMP server, we want to reiterate our commitment to SA-MP, we have a dedicated team of developers that span both universes and that isn't going to change. Since the last major game update to 14.0, the development team has been hard at work pushing out incremental updates with a bunch of new features, fixes and quality of life improvements. These are always announced on Discord in #game-changelog, but sometimes people miss these, so here's a round up of some of the key changes: - Adds the possibility to burn corpses - Adds messages when you take damage (it can be disabled with: /togdamage) - Adds /sendlocation, send your location to your phone contacts - Adds Romano Pizza mapping in Market - Adds Carson Haul and Wrench company mapping in Fort Carson - Adds "Platinum Cars" mapping in Santa Maria - Adds black coffee, clipboard, popcorn, white coffee custom objects to /hold - Adds 2 red solo cup variants and 8 vape variants to /hold - Adds fireworks - Adds furnishing to business employee powers, grant employees /furniture access - Adds /togglesafezone, business and some select property owners can choose if their business/property is a safezone - Adds /pmd (Prevent My Death) - if you're under 15 health, you can use it to go to 15 hp to prevent death from SAMP physics - Adds quick search to /samaps command without dialog e.g. /samaps 2478 Ganton Bl - Fixes an issue with non-packaged vehicle weapons disappearing - Fixes vehicle weapons turning in to Fists - Fixes an issue with talking animations - Fixes taxi fares calculating incorrectly I know a lot of people are eagerly awaiting more information on the upcoming re-launch of the RageMP server; as much as we’d love to share details with you, we don’t want to give a date and then let people down if we can’t meet it for whatever reason - although internally we're right on track, working away in the background. We’re actively working on RageMP and it’s coming soonTM, we just want to ensure we have an experience worthy of the wait that people are expecting. As soon as we’re in a position we’re happy with, the community will be the first to know. It’s something we’re actively working on and we'll have a separate blog post when we're ready to share. Illegal Faction Team The Illegal Faction Council would like to begin by congratulating the servers newest official faction candidates, Black Organised Crime! The Illegal Faction Team as a whole has thoroughly enjoyed watching this faction grow since it first opened in July. We're excited to work together with B.O.C and see what the future holds! The Illegal Faction Team also recently ran a furnishing competition which has now been concluded for the month of October, and is now in it's final voting stage. Members of the Illegal Faction Team were tasked with reviewing factors like originality, attention to detail and practicality. Keep your eyes peeled for the Illegal Faction Team's monthly newsletter next week for further updates! Over the course of this month we've been discussing how we want schemes to unfold come RAGE's relaunch. These are some extremely important fundamentals that we need to have in place to ensure we, as the Illegal Faction Team give the most amount of roleplay opportunities to illegal factions and players. We've been involved in discussions on drugs and how they're going to work and play out, weapons and pricings for the weapons. We have applications open for the Illegal Faction Team and are looking to fill numerous available spots. If you're interested in helping out with discussions with either Rage or SAMP, we have plenty of open discussions and definitely want your input. If being apart of this team interests you, please do not hesitate to read through the following post and send the Illegal Faction Council your letters of interest. With the holidays coming we understand that factions and players have less and less time to commit to the game, but if you have any ideas or questions that could potentially help your faction or the server in general that us as the Illegal Faction Team could handle, please do not hesitate to reach out to @Aloosh, @Rye or @unlawfulact with your queries. Staff Update Here are some of October's Key Metrics: There were a total of 2126 reports handled There were a total of 2170 help requests handled There were a total of 273 character applications handled Congratulations to our newly promoted staff members ... Senior Admin Consistency Game Admin mourn Trainee Admin husoparac11 Welcome back to our returning staff members ... Game Admin Conor - Izumi

me when i complain about everything

Valenti is not going anywhere, at least not for the time being. Lack of motivation and real life duties which are time consuming hit everyone from time to time and it's reasonable to think that way, but you don't have to worry cause we'll bounce back eventually. Even if it takes us some time.

It's not dead, people just lose motivation from time to time. Most of the LSRP playerbase is well above 18 years and those people have jobs and families to take care of which naturally is time consuming itself. Then again, there's also issues with staff team and their ignorance which negatively impacted playerbase in the past as well. Now, don't get me wrong cause I ain't pointing fingers - there's still people in staff team who care about the server enough to keep it going, but it's clear as day that there's still no will to correct certain mistakes from the past. Anyways, I've written a lot here but it all comes to this: LSRP is not dead, nor will it be any time soon. However if it wants to survive people who are running things behind the scenes should wake up. Keeping a constant playerbase as high as 190+ players per night is not easy, but until just a couple of months ago it was still at that number. Staff's not to blame entirely, LSRP will keep going as long as we all together keep it going. Enjoy it while it lasts and stop whining, it doesn't help - go IG and create some RP.
