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.

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.

The situation here is so dire, its painful to watch

As much as I've appreciated the feedback we're going to be closing this thread as of today, and you may believe that you have not been heard - or that you've more to talk about but any further threads will just be locked moving forward. A few of you have sent concrete ideas for change to my forum PMs, and I appreciate it - and welcome others to do so too. This doesn't mean start PMing me with shit like "FIX THE SERVER" but if you've actual pain-points that we can actually do something about, let me know. We've got a good list from what's been raised to date, but at this point we're going around in circles on these threads. You've had responses from Management and the development team, as it's been a matter of days since many of these issues have been raised - we have nothing concrete to show in order to address them, as they're generally much larger issues. I know that may make the words seem empty but just give us a chance. I understand that hackings an issue as it always has been, I will take steps to see what can be done with our anti-cheat or policies surrounding the "burden of proof" required to issue a hacking ban. This isn't a quick fix and I appreciate your patience while we look into it. Please be aware that we only recently made a change to the anti-cheat to address a certain method of exploiting weapons on SAMP. We have and are capable of making changes to identify certain hacks/exploits. The community likely won't be updated regarding any future anti-cheat changes as that defeats the whole purpose, but I'm sure we'll let you know once we've addressed it. I keep seeing people mentioning 'voting' for LSRP:V to go ahead or not. I want to be very clear, that shipped sailed long ago. The relaunch of V is long past the point of voting for it. danut and n0de have been working on it tirelessly since it closed. RAGE is very much happening and I understand that brings concerns for SAMP - but as it stands, SAMP's closure isn't something on our minds at this very moment. I can't promise you if things don't improve, that SAMP will remain open with a skeleton crew of players but that's also where the community comes in. I've seen so much passion for SAMP in the various threads, however a large portion of these voices are now banned or have left for other servers. If you want SAMP to continue to be supported, we need to make sure it has players. While voting on V isn't something we'll be entertaining, having a much more open means of communication with the community is something I'm aware we need to work on. Hopefully once we get back to business after the holidays, you'll see the results of these efforts. The holiday season is well underway for everyone on the lead/management team, and this kind of discourse is the last thing we wanted to see. For those excited for RAGE, there will be promotional material coming very very soon. RAGE insiders are aware of this and have been working with the Marketing team to come up with promotional material, and the quality from what I've seen is absolutely fantastic (s/o Conor). This is stuff we've been working towards long before any of these threads ever went up, and unfortunately any actions we now take, I feel will seem like a response to this discourse. For those that don't want RAGE, you're probably not going to like seeing the stuff we've been working on recently and that's fine. We will be opening roles such as the Illegal Faction Team after the holidays, and currently Illegal Faction Council LOI's are open internally. I encourage anyone (from the illegal roleplay side) to get involved in IFT as they have a direct line of communication with management and the development team, and can influence the direction of future updates both script-wise and in terms of rules/ROE. Please do us a favour and not get your pitch-forks out as I lock this thread. It's run it's course. Let us prove to you in the coming days/weeks that we're listening. Have a very happy holiday, we'll see you in the new year. 🎄

Who's at fault for this current state? The answer is fiddy-fiddy. 50% players fault 50% staffs fault When LSRP reopened the interest was very clearly there. We all wanted one last ride. It wasn't long before the mistakes of the past from both the community as well as staff started to resurface. The golden age of LSRP where everyone shat on everyone was still present. We all collectively brought the server to this state and blaming the staff alone is hypocrisy. The ship hasn't sunk yet and there's no guarantee it's salvageable at this point but it's worth a shot. I agree with Busato that a change at the top is required. However I do not think we should vote for one person to take over the reins and hope for the best. Whenever 1 person ran the entire community, sooner or later we always end up in this exact spot. I think all members of staff should collectively run and decide everything, and the community should vote for the members of staff instead. Further more, I also think we need to completely get rid of admin ranks in order for this to work. I also think all members of staff need to be paid. How little of much it doesn't matter. Simplify the system. Lose having to go on the forums to apply for everything. Allow players to start companies instantly in game. Allow players to instantly lease businesses wherever they want. Helicopter money to anyone creating RP around these 2 systems. Kill LSRP V entirely. The chances of it succeeding are lesser than the chances of SAMP staying alive at this point. World owns GTA V. Come to terms with this reality and try to salvage what remains.

The Mexican Mafia / Politics on the Pavement I

This thread follows Leon Mercado, a 18-year-old youngsta outta El Corona, bangin' the 38st.

I would like to preface this post by first begging administration to let this thread run its course unless it is absolutely derailed to the point of idiocy. Let the discourse flow. I have, embarrassingly, been a part of this server since early 2008. My 12 year old self would ask I be euthanized if he knew I was still roleplaying at my current age. However, I have always had a soft spot for this community and the people that make it up. Roleplay is a hobby that keeps the brain fresh and creative. I am too old to employ ChatGPT in this response. These words come from my beating, probably-autistic heart. I have been around for the entirety of LS-RP's latest return. I watched it start off firing, continue strong and exceed my own expectations of longevity by more than a year. I have had some of the best roleplay of my entire cursed tenure in this iteration. I have now watched, sighing, as it degrades. There is not one single reason or issue to point to, but instead, a host of many. This last run was doomed to fail from Ground Zero. I expected nothing of it, and it continued to defy and surprise me everyday. GTA World has the playerbase, the features, the map - all a roleplayer with something better than an ancient laptop could desire. It, however, lacks LS-RP's innate soul. GTA World is not LS-RP. Do I know how to salvage this server? No. Do I think an aggressive marketing campaign will save it? No. Easy requests have been delayed, scripting has grated down to a standstill, and the only good administrators we have have somehow become a lightning rod for the frustration everyone feels. Do I attribute these issues to a single individual? No, the rot is systemic. Grow up if you're trying to affix blame to a single individual. Is there administration that should have long ago lost their title? Yes. Many of these others however, as aforementioned, are the only ones fighting to make the situation better and breathe life into a sever already gasping for its own. Stop shitting on them. They are the only thing keeping this Titanic-after-iceberg afloat. As we sit here and debate how to save a dying, geriatric body, I see only one way forward. It's bringing that soul back. Countless hours have been spent chasing away factions comprised of some of the best roleplayers I know in an attempt to punish the lowest percentile of their membership. Meanwhile, spree-robbers and moronic behavior runs rampant and untouched. If you want this shit to last, it's time to get in-game and lead by example. Create the change you want to see in this world. Create a community of roleplayers that people want to join. If we wanted to leave and discard this server, we all would have left already and wouldn't waste time typing up a response like this. The manifesto? I can only speak to my specific niche on the server. Center it around roleplay. We have a roster of strong official factions. Concentrate features into their hands. Encourage systems that allow them to connect with unofficial factions and water the plants seeded by these new factions. Create an ecosystem wherein factions are forced to rely on one another to achieve their aims. Narrow the scope of schemes and material distribution and force factions to center their aims into singular ones. X faction should be the kingpin of cocaine, while another should have the means to launder money. A third faction should pioneer good chopshop-based roleplay, while the fourth spends their time researching how to best portray the marijuana grow op they have in their basement in-game. These are limited examples that could easily be implemented. Reflect real life criminality. Encourage interplay between these groups, not because it results in cool screenshots, but instead, because it creates a semblance of necessity in sustaining their own faction’s expansion. The best roleplayers I know have always been encyclopedias of knowledge in their specific lane. Encourage this specialization. Stop policing concepts so harshly when the activity and wherewithal is not there to sustain or even acknowledge their approval. Let people cook. The second order of importance is clarity. Too many discussions occur behind closed doors. As a member of IFT, my ilk and myself are guilty of this. Expose everything to the soul of this community - the players. Act on their suggestions when good immediately, and offer insight as how to improve upon ideas when they're bad or otherwise lacking. The administration should not be a separate body from the players overseeing them, but instead, a sounding board for the players they are representing. Make it political. There should be no tenure for administrators that aren't enacting the goals of the general populace. Administrators should not be private police, but the speaking output for those they represent. To stifle discussion is to make your own job irrelevant. Unless blatant bullshit is happening, let everyone say their piece in the agora that is this server. Lastly, and most importantly: FUCK KRISK FUCK KIRIL SOKOLOV FREE SHARIF REYNOLDS FREE RIVA FREE ASESINO FREE DAMIANC UP BAHDBH AND RYE FUCK GTA V We can all watch this server die a slow, awkward death or we can take steps to be the change we wish to see in it. For many of us, this is our last chance at roleplaying and comprising membership of the server we want to see. Clown on this post to your heart's content. I have searched all of my empty pockets and cannot find a fuck to give.
