The Department protects the right of all persons within its jurisdiction to be free from criminal attack, to be secure in their possessions, and to live in peace. The Department serves the people of Los Santos by performing the law enforcement function in a professional manner, and it is to these people that the Department is ultimately responsible." — Chief of Police Manuel Caldera Official Site of the Los Santos Police Department Employment Opportunities Report A Crime The Los Santos Police Department provides law enforcement services to the City of Los Santos and is responsible for protecting and serving its citizens. The Los Santos Police Department is directed by a Chief of Police, who is appointed to the office by the Mayor of San Andreas. The history of the Los Santos Police Department can be traced directly to Spanish colonial authorities embedded in the missions of the Los Santos countryside in the early 1600s. Needing protection from native raids and frontier bandits, a contingent of Spanish colonial soldiers were hired to guard the compounds of the city. After San Andreas declared independence as the San Andreas Republic during the Mexican-American War, the Republic voluntarily petitioned for annexation into the United States after the war. After growth on the American frontier and continued western expansion, during the 1840s the first formal policing agencies were established formally subsumed under the San Andreas State Militia, the Los Santos Rangers. This frontier service was little more than a night watch service as compared to modernized forces following Peel's doctrines. The department's formal history began in the mid 1870s with the establishment of the City Marshal's Office. This uniformed service was the first municipal civil service within the city of Los Santos. Fifteen police chiefs served from 1879 to 1889, albeit it wasn't until Jim R. Door was police chief for 15 years that a consistency was developed. The department developed into the municipal Los Santos Police Department in the early 20th century. In 1910, the department was one of the first departments in the world to grant policing powers to a female officer. In 1918, the department granted full powers to the first African-American female officer. During World War 1, the force quickly became involved in federal offenses and was seen as a home guard to prosecute saboteurs and other fifth columnists. This persisted for most of the early 20th century, where the "dragnet" policing system was developed with formal beats and patrols. Anti-riot and metropolitan squads first began development here, with squads such as the "Red Squad," an anti-communist policing unit. By the time of World War 2, the department had been through several chiefs and had several issues with bad conduct. With the reformist mayor Bowyer Street in charge of the city, he forced dozen of corrupt commissioners out and brought in a new chief, John D. Halmann. Halmann modernized the force in his brief 2 year tenure, resigning after his refusal to use the force as a strikebreaker unit. Chief Edward Sadler took control during 1941, wherein the force has heavily depleted by the draft. The formal twelve-week training period was replaced by a shortened six week period. During 1944, the Zoot Suit Riots of Los Santos began, resulting in large-scale rioting between servicemen and Latino immigrants. Retired Marine General William Baxter took control in 1951 and had the longest tenure of any Los Santos Chief, serving from 1951 to 1966, only dying of heart trouble. This is when the motto "To Protect and to Serve" was introduced. The 1964 Crenshaw Race Riots were a notable event for the department. Crime rates steadily increased. The department quickly adjusted, greatly increasing recruiting efforts, and bringing crime rates to a somewhat manageable level. As the department grew, criminals became more clever, becoming more secretive, conniving, and illusive. In response to this, various specialized divisions began to emerge, where officers with specific skill sets would be deployed. By the 1970s the department had a full range of different divisions, from field investigation to public liaison, to firearms licensing. The fairly recent invention of the helicopter allowed the department to purchase a full fleet of aviation vehicles, to provide eyes in the sky. The department's SWAT team began development during this period due to shootouts with domestic terrorist groups such as the SLA. By the 1990's the Los Santos Police Department was among the best in the United States. They had become world renown for their ability to efficiently protect and serve the city of Los Santos. All of this was put to the test during the Los Santos riots of 1992. The public was profusely outraged after a hung jury on a trial, culminating in widescale civil unrest not seen since the Crenshaw Riots of 1964. The department was not able to contain the unrest and the National Guard was called in. Although the department was forced to call in the guard, they still showed extreme discipline and organization during a time of high stress and confusion. To date, the Los Santos Police Department has some of the most specialized divisions throughout the country, including the elite Metropolitan Division that houses D Platoon, affectionately known as S.W.A.T.

This will be a showcasing section for me, showing off mods I've done in the past and present for GTAV. Everything that's shown off here is done by me, either created from scratch using my own, or other video games assets and everything will have its proper credits upon release. I hope everyone enjoys my work and gives feedback no matter what all feedback is accepted and taken as creative criticism. Thank you all and enjoy. I also take requests if you'd like anything regarding clothes, accessories, environmental and animations either PM me here or contact me on Discord at cranky#0017 Clothing/Accessories Some clothes and accessories I've worked on or am currently working on. Animations A few animations that are either WIP or done, for now these will be showcased for my faction and later down the line I'll most likely end up doing animations for all LA gangs. Environment

Hello everyone The last year has been an unusual period of time for the staff team and we are getting closer to another milestone — launching our community on the GTA V platform. In preparation for the many months of developing the script we altered the way our team is structured by introducing the 'Insider' team. The whole staff team has played a vital role in establishing the ecosystem and building the foundation for the server, without their knowledge and experience we would not have been where we are today. As of this post, the Insider Team will be removed and some members of it will be offered alternative positions within the core staff team based on contributions and activity during their time. We'd also like to thank Ten for his contributions to the Faction Team and for setting up and shaping the illegal faction scene ahead of the launch of the server, sadly he has resigned from the team a few days ago and we look forward to hopefully seeing him return in the future! We'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has contributed to shape the server — the community, the insiders and the staff team as a whole. Thank you for sticking with us through the most challenging period of LS-RP history. Moving on, we'd like to introduce our new staff team structure: Senior Lead Admin Baker — DadoJ — Kane Lead Admin nova Senior Admin DDaniels — Mitcholodolo — Redz Game Admin Xanakin — zalenac — ROZE — Benavides — Mario — Flemwad — Dos Santos Junior Admin Bellagio — Birdman — Zapper Trainee Admins accursed — Kendrick — Genny — jack — luca. Senior Tester betonists — danielswe — Turtle — Marshall Tester Bizarre — bobster — Caleb410 Junior Tester Farrell — Mac — AlmightyBounter — JamesW — Freedom Fighter — Faugh A Ballagh This list is not final and is subject to change.

Hello Everyone, This thread serves the purpose of guiding you through realistic roleplay and character development, along with a few tips that might help you with immersion. This guide isn't specifically for those who have never been involved in roleplay but also for those who have been doing it for years and wish to enhace their skills. Roadmap: Server Rules Basic concepts Character Development Realistic Roleplay 1 - Server Rules Believe me or not, the first step before you walk into any sort of roleplay is to be familiarized with the server rules so you can better understand what concepts can be portrayed and what concepts can not. Not only that is an important aspect but also obeying all the other set of rules in place that will serve the purpose of a better and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Make sure that you go through the server rules that you can find on the link below and get acquainted with them: LSRP Rules Now that you're acquainted with the server rules, let's move on to the next matter. 2 - Basic Concepts Onto this section, if you're an elite roleplayer, this is something you don't need to read through as it is the most basic concepts and commands for roleplaying. For those who are new to roleplaying and aren't familiarized with the commands, I will list them below and explain one by one what they mean and how they are supposed to be used. /me (action) This is the command you want to use when you're detailing an action that you want to perform with your character. Example: /me returns a smile to John Doe and offers his hand for a firm handshake. Final product: * Joe Brown returns a smile to John Doe and offers his hand for a firm handshake. Alternative command: /melow - This command serves the same purpose but for a smaller range. /do (emote) This is a command you want to use when describing something around your character or ask for details. Example: /do Would there be any shattered glass on the ground? Final product: * Would there be any shattered glass on the ground? (( John Doe )) Alternative command: /dolow - This command serves the same purpose but for a smaller range. /my (action) This is a command you want to use to roleplay any feature related to your character. It's just like a /me, however directed to your character already. Example: /my phone buzzes as he's talking to John Doe. Final product: * Joe Brown's phone buzzes as he's talking to John Doe. /low (message) This is a command you want to use if you wish for your character to speak in a more hushed manner. This would be a command to use if your character wanted to address a group he's standing with and didn't want anybody else at a considerable range to hear. Example: /low I hate that guy, we should just move away for now. Final product: Joe Brown says [low]: I hate that guy, we should just move away for now. /s (message) This is a command you want to use if you wish to be heard from a considerable range. Could be used to get the attention of someone who's far across the street. Example: /s Hey! Where are you going? Come back here! Final product: Joe Brown shouts: Hey! Where are you going? Come back here! /w (message) This is a command that will allow you to whisper into someone's ear, which means that only the person you target with this command will be allowed to hear you. Example: /w Did you bring the gun with you? Final product: Joe Brown whispers: Did you bring the gun with you? /b (message) This is a command that will allow you to address your surrounding area on a OOC ( Out of Character) manner. Example: /b I need to relog. Final product: (( Joe Brown: I need to relog )) /pm ( id / name ) This is a command that allows you to private message another people who's online, of course, Out of Character. Example: /pm 12 Haven't seen you IG in a while, is everything okay? Final product: (( PM to Joe Brown: Haven't seen you IG in a while, is everything okay? )) 3 - Character Development Now that you have cleared all the above, we are ready to dive into what this guide's purpose actually is. This section will explain the things you should think about beforehand before creating your character and how you should keep development to the back of your head and also portray it in a realistic manner. The issue nowadays is that people create characters that have no goals whatsoever and they just want to rush through the first steps to go ahead and start their roleplay. Starting a character is like building a house, if you start from the roof down it will dissemble eventually. You need to build strong bases before you decide to go further. As far as it concerns the creation of your character, you should keep a few things in mind. I will list them below and address them one by one. What's your character's name? Well, there really isn't much we could say about this one! Pick a name for your character based on what you want to roleplay. You should take into account the ethnicity, where he's from and so on. What's his age? As above you should also pick the age of your character in accordance with what you wish to roleplay and the age that makes more sense for him to be. Remember that if you start at young ages, you can always age up, so long as the development makes sense and is called for. Where did he come from? If he's not from LS, why did he come from? This is where you should have special attention as this might be a crucial part of your character and everything that comes past that. You need to figure out if you want to roleplay a character that was born and raised in Los Santos or if he came from anywhere else on the map. In case you're trying to roleplay a character who comes from another country or state, it is important that you know what made him want to move to Los Santos. I believe this is where most people lack as I have seen completely unrealistic choices as to why a character decided to move on from one place to the other. Usually moving to another place within a permanent setting is a big deal and means that you would most likely leave your past life behind and many people wouldn't take the risk unless it was strictly necessary. Some other people do it because their jobs require them to. There are a lot of situations that could lead your character into moving on with his life, so be mindful about it and pick wisely. Who's his family and what do they do? It's pretty obvious that even though you might have an actual player who's roleplaying your relative that your character would most likely have a family. You should also take this into account and figure out what you want for your character. Did he move/is he living with his family? What do they do? Most people don't believe it but most often than not, family is what shapes you and if your relatives aren't much of good guidance figures, there's a chance that you will be completely out of boundaries. This is an important point for you to understand as it will help you develop your character and drift around the scenes he might be presented to as it massively helps in backing up why your character was built in a certain way. Where does your character currently live and with who? Based on what you're trying to portray, you should pick an area on the map that best suits your character. If you're trying to portray a character who's a gangmember, then it only makes sense that he would live and develop around a hood, on the other hand if you're portraying a character that is a hard worker and already achieved some goals in life, maybe it's best if you choose a more peaceful place where they could perform their day to day tasks. What does your character do? Based on the above, what is it that your character does for a living? Based on the way he was built, is he a hard worker dude or is he a lost soul that does anything on his reach for a buck? This is also a point that will chase your forever whilst roleplaying a character. When you decide what you want for this section, you should drift around the subject and do so realistically. It's been clear and frowned upon that some people create their characters with a multitude of things that they are elite at doing so. I am yet to see someone who's a professional mechanic who does bar gigs on the side and also is a full-time trucker. Or characters who are professional at picking locks, top one gun smugglers, and the best getaway drivers. In my honest opinion, people should focus on one or two activities at most and develop around them. Doing a multitude of activities that may not fit the character you're trying to portray will certainly look bad and it will surely be frowned upon. Be wise and pick an activity that makes the most sense for the background of your character. What's your character's goal on the long run? This is also a very important subject that you should be mindful of. When you create your character, you should know from the get-go what the goal for this character will do. Usually creating characters that have no objectives will only lead them into doing things that do not pertain to their characters and most likely will lack any content and development. Deciding what you want your character to be in the long run will help you figure out the path that must be taken and will clearly give you more joy when doing so. 4 - Realistic Roleplay With all the above in mind, I believe you're now ready to get started. There is just so much to talk about when it comes to realistic roleplay and every detail matters when we're taking it on a more serious note. Realistic roleplay is all about the immersion, how you drive your character through the events, and most importantly, is about asking yourself if the actions you're performing would actually happen in an IRL setting. There are many things that the script does not allow, but you shouldn't take it as an excuse to bypass them. When it comes to realism, I always look at a few factors and those are the ones I will bring up to you ( there are just so many more that we could go about this subject all day long ). Behavior When it comes to how your character behaves, you should always take a minute or two to ask yourself if the action you want to perform is at all realistic and meets the grounds of your character. You should make sure that behind every action of your character there is enough reason to do so. Oftentimes people do things in the heat of the moment and it leads to a cluster fuck of events that ruin the immersion and that sometimes are borderline breaking the rules of the server. It's important to have solid grounds when roleplaying your character's actions and how he behaves when subject to certain scenarios. Activities You should always have sufficient grounds and reasons behind the activities you want to pull and if the place you want to execute them is at all appropriate. Oftentimes people perform actions at places where is not realistic at all to do so. You should always look around you and withdraw yourself if you feel like that is not the right approach to make. Weather Even though more often than not the script doesn't bring any downsides for the weather, you should always take it into account and understand if your character's clothes meet the criteria and if your driving should change by any means. We wouldn't see someone zooming across the city at 140 mph/h on a rainy day with no care for their life or those who might be on the road. Time of the day You should always take into account the time of the day as this will also play a huge role within realistic roleplay and immersion. For example, if you're at night time, there are things that wouldn't be realistic for your character to spot, for example, someone driving past you on a dark alley in a car with tinted windows. Crime and LEO's Now, this is a critical subject that should always be addressed to new and old-time roleplayers. More often than not we come across scenes where Illegal roleplayers and Legal roleplayers clash heads into each other. Both sides should be mindful of their portrayal and realistic scenarios. There's just so much we could talk about on this subject but I believe we can make it short. When roleplaying an LEO you should always take into account that things aren't always black or white and that not everything must result in severe actions. There should be a middle ground established between the two entities so things can work smoothly. When roleplaying a character that has more illegal than legal grounds, you should also ask yourself two or three times if this is the right approach to make. What we usually see is more of a cops and robbers mentality and we should get rid of it. This is an appeal for both sides to roleplay things accordingly and meets the IRL setting. People who roleplay illegally shouldn't be granted the excuse of escalating issues without proper reasons/means and resort to the last option which would be a shootout. LEO's should also be mindful and take into account that, for example, a single officer walking into a hood to arrest one person is something that doesn't happen in an IRL setting. I hope this guide helped you understand the basics of roleplaying as well as a few commands that are used to do so. I might be updating this thread as we go and as I gather more information. If you have any questions you'd like to ask, feel free to do so via PMs. If you have any suggestions or things you'd like to see added to this guide, also PM me on forums.

Hey, Today everyone got access to the character editor, and after trying it I feel like the user experience leaves a lot of space for improvement, for example: Selecting heritage is very hard, the popup menu feels clunky and the fact that there is no displayed parent ID, you have to manually count them and hope you get it right. Would be nice to have the parent IDs displayed Eyebrow and Hair color are tied together, they should be separate to allow people to have different colored eyebrows and hair. The sliders on the face attributes are a bit hard to use and they jump in increments of 0.1. The GTAV customization allows for values between -1.0 and 1.0, so it would be nice if we had like a small input box where we could manually input these values, like 0.64, etc. This is what I could think of about the character creation system, what do you guys think about it?

[video]https://youtu.be/0fAQhSRLQnM[/video] [justify]First of all, joining the crew changed everything. And let me explain this to you. Everything in life may run on money, but in the mob, that's literally the only thing that matters. When you join, you become a part of a machine. And whether you like it or not, the machine doesn't stop, it doesn't break, and the only purpose it ever serves is making more money. So what's your role? What do you do? Exactly that. You make money. Not because you want to. No. You do it because you HAVE to. And if you don't? You're history. You're gone. Nobody's even gonna remember you existed. That's it. And the funny truth about all of this is - the moment you come to a conclusion like this is usually the moment it all settles in, and even though you've known it all along, that's when it truly hits you: "Holy shit. I'm in the fucking mob." But hey, that's your new day-to-day reality, buddy. After all, nobody forced you, you wanted this. Right? You know, Bill would always tell me how of all of this, the life itself, was about "loyalty" and "respect". How that would get you farther than anything else in this life and how this was what this thing of ours was all about. And if I'm being honest? A part of me wanted to believe him. After all, it felt good knowing we had principles and values. That there was honor among thieves. But still, even then, it wasn't hard to see past the fairy tales, I mean. I knew what the mob was really about and that the only way to stay afloat was to earn and keep your mouth shut. So that's what I did, I earned. Besides, regardless of our beliefs, I still had a lot of respect for Bill. The man was practically like a father to us, and the way he handled things? It was sensible, forthright. It really made you feel like you were in good hands. Like everything was alright and that things were going to be OK as long as you didn't step out of line. I trusted him, more than others. And in this life? Believe me, that's saying something. Still, those were the days I miss the most. My Philly problems were long-settled, I was making good money through my connections in and out of the crew and even Bill was beginning to be happy with what I was laying on the table. The wines n' dines at the restaurant, late-night drinks and cards with the guys, the money, the ladies - all of it became the new norm, our second nature. And going back in time, honestly? Guys like us had everything. Life was good. [justify]The way they usually bring on new guys into the crew is - a guy appears around, gets known, gains trust from the right people, and eventually somebody's gonna have to vouch for the guy. See, when you vouch for somebody, anybody, it means that you're personally guaranteeing the reputation of a person that's dealing with the family, with your life. It means that if, and ever, the guy that you brought in either steps way outta line, goes to the cops, turns out to be an agent or anything else that's along those lines? You know it's you that's gonna be held accountable. I mean, you might as well pop one in your head yourself at that point, cause chances are you'll be doing yourself a favor. Y'know? Cause you gotta understand. It's a very serious thing. You don't just vouch for anybody. And frankly, when somebody vouches for somebody, usually they're so close they could be family. I mean shit, a lot of the times they ARE family. So with all of this in mind, when I vouched for Rocky, I naturally had my reasons. Now, if anyone here's been following the story from the get-go, you'll remember that Rocky, ironically, was the guy that brought me in and introduced me to Artie LoZoppo, during a time when I was dead broke and seriously in debt. In so many words, Rocky threw me a lifeline when nobody else would. Felt only fair that I return the favor. But more importantly, I knew Rocky. He was the only guy I really trusted. A simple man. Sincere and loyal. I'd known him for long enough to know that here was a guy that would never fuck me over. And that's a rarity in this life. That's why I brought him in. Because, let me tell you something, when the chips are down, the only thing you can rely on in this life, is friends like that. Why? Let me tell you why. See, as the years passed by, many many guys I had known closely, like Little Mike, Artie, Charles, Mark, my good friend Ray - everyone wind up dead, six feet under. And when you see everyone around you disappear like fairy dust? That's when you start growing eyes in the back of your head. Because the ugly truth is, life ain't worth a penny in the mob. One day, you could be having dinner with a guy you've known half your life and the next he'll be shoving a switch-blade into your adam's apple. So my advice? When in Rome, do as the Valentis do.[/justify]

Allowing mixing of two different skin tones too should be a thing

Getting on the character customization server reminded me of how much I hate GTAV's version of it. Any word on when/if we're gonna get ped skins? All the hairstyles look like complete ass and I don't want to regress to spamming /ame's so I can properly RP a fat character.

Hey all, Today I'm happy to showcase to you guys how far along we've came with our damage system which is just about complete. It's been really fun testing and we can't wait for you guys to hop in game soon and experience it yourself. Check out this video by @Xanakin to see more about it: We really brainstormed how to handle damages and different type of weapons and I think we came out with a pretty solid system. We currently have more than 60 custom inventory weapons implemented and more than 20 different ammo types. Each weapon will have a base damage and a list of compatible ammo and a range of distances it can fire accurately and how far. V's native range for hitting targets is quite large so this was necessary to do. Each ammo type will be configured with a different multiplier. So some types of ammo will be stronger, some will be weaker and so forth. When it comes to deciding how much damage it's time to give, it all comes down to these factors: base damage, ammo multiplier, distance and bodypart. Some bodyparts will increase your damage, and some may lower it. Another part of our system that I'm quite happy about is the attachment system! We've added just about every weapon component that exists on GTA V and that will all be accessible. As demonstrated in the video, you'll be able to have each piece in your inventory and use them on weapons it's compatible with (not all can have attachments)! Here's an example of some of the pistols and their ammo types we've added: (not final!) thead tr {background-color: ActiveCaption; color: CaptionText;} th, td {vertical-align: top; font-family: "Segoe UI", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; padding: 3px; } table, td {border: 1px solid silver;} table {border-collapse: collapse;} thead .col0 {width: 189px;} thead .col1 {width: 164px;} Weapons Ammo Types LSPD SWAT Staccato P 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP H&K USP 9 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Beretta 92FS 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Glock 19 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP FN 509 MRD-LE 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Glock 17 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Beretta 92X 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Glock 21 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Sig Sauer P320 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Sig Sauer P365X 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Glock 43X 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Kimber Custom LW .45ACP FMJ, .45ACP JHP Colt 1911 Classic .45ACP FMJ, .45ACP JHP Smith & Wesson 4506 .45ACP FMJ, .45ACP JHP Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 9mm FMJ, 9mm JHP Thank you all once again for your continued support!

Welcomee

hi bud, have fun!

hi, welcome aboard

Well written bud!

Hey all, We've been hard at work this past week and I'd like to show you some of the progress we've made. From the development perspective, we brainstormed and created one of the core features for our RageMP gamemode - the Inventory System. All items (with a couple exceptions) will be in one centralized inventory instead of having your character's belongings scattered across different systems and commands. You'll be able to access your weapons, drugs, accessories and more in a simple, user-friendly UI. In-fact, instead of reading about it, have a look at the preview we made. Factions During the last week we also held a few staff-wide sessions to discuss the shape of both legal and illegal factions on the server. We went over a lot, so I'll only go over the few most important points: We will start the server with the following legal factions: Police Department, Sheriff's Department, Fire Department, DOJ (courts), GOV (city & state). PD and SD will have a lot of shared responsibility, with the prison and rescue tasks falling under SD's jurisdiction. We will have the same structure for LSGOV boards as we did on SA-MP. We acknowledged some issues the previous lsgov forums were facing and found ways to address them. We will use a phpbb theme which is regularly updated and maintained, so we can easily upgrade our phpbb version as they get released. Faction leaders will be able to upload custom content for ranks, avatars and such themselves. Two factor verification will be enforced on users with sensitive access. Reinstatements into legal factions will open on the day of server's launch. Factions have a deadline of 14 days after the server's launch to open recruitment. The Legal Faction Council will consist of the Head of Legal Factions (IC Governor) and the Leadership. HOLF will serve as a liaison between Legal Faction Leaders and the Leadership. For the illegal side, we mainly focused on figuring out the flow of weapons on the server. We went over everything from how the weapons get into the server to the hands of suppliers all the way to the end user. We came up with a system where a Supplier will be able to fill out a OOC form with a list of weapons they want to buy, and pay for them with IC cash and OOC points. Supplier can either be a faction, or an individual. Official factions will have the best rates and most points to spend on weapons. Unofficial factions and individuals will be more limited. This is designed to encourage building relationships with larger suppliers if you want cheaper weapons, but doesn't restrict you if you aren't on good terms with anyone. We also try to get rid of the need of OOC connections to acquire weapons. Legal weapons will be harder to acquire and hard limits will be put in place to avoid stockpiling and sale of legal weapons. Simple forensics will be available for the police to investigate crimes. Players won't be able to park their cars if there's too many weapons in them. This is done to get rid of the stash car meta. I'll make sure to post more information once the weapon system is actually created, as some things are still subject to change. These systems are designed by dozens of people with years of experience in all aspects of roleplay and we actively try to get ideas from people of different backgrounds. Release Date At this stage we're unable to fulfill our original self imposed deadline for release of "Summer 2021". This is due to a series of reasons, but they all boil down to the fact that we don't want to release something we feel wouldn't have the standards we're trying to achieve. We're working hard to deliver a server which shake the RageMP scene to the core, and we can only do that with a rock-solid foundation. That being said, we're currently aiming to release in Q4 of 2021. Unless we encounter major roadblocks, we should all see each other in-game this year. Registrations We're getting our new community suite ready so you can join as soon as possible. We've had many messages from you about creating faction threads early, reserving your names, etcetera. We hear you and we'll open the registration on the following dates: 15th of September for our supporters on Patreon (thank you!) 1st of October for everyone I hope this update gave you some clarity regarding what we're working on right now. Improving communication with our player base is something we're continuously trying to improve - I'll try to do these updates at least once a week to keep you all in the loop. In the mean time, if you'd like teasers while they're still hot, make sure you join our Discord server. We're posting stuff that's work-in-progress in #snippets now and then. Thanks for reading, Martin

Damn - Nice designs Keep that shit up

These chains are love Keep up the great and incredible work ♥

If someone decides to come here ( Rome ) for a vacation, let me know!

Going to transform these in avatars asap

Project: LA

Aww man. That sucks to hear. Hmu on discord if you ever wanna chat bro. I’m all good thanks for asking sir.

You have to consider that there are going to be times on the server with low pop and no one really around to RP with. Script jobs can help to fill in that blank space, especially for people who play in less than ideal time zones. I am more often than not left only RP'ing with a select few individuals who fall into my time zone and the scripted jobs help to aid our RP. If they didn't exist, I wouldn't be playing at all. It's also a great introductory job for someone who is brand new and helps them learn server commands and ease them into pursuing a job at a player-owned business and such.

i heard he talked shit so i had to uzmi his skraps

lol would be fun tbh.

This was unfortunate wording and pedo RP was never allowed. That being said, after consideration, we've decided to edit this archaic rule and disallow any of the actions mentioned in the rule, without exception or permissions. Acts of sexual violence and dangerous or illegal paraphilias are not something we're going to facilitate in the community, even as "roleplay". Punishment for breach of this rule is ban.

No form of rape, pedophilia or child pornography should be allowed under any circumstance imo.

no don't make this a pedo hub

2014 was a good time. Shoutout all the Cycowoods and BBB ballers. @Ali_Moreno
