Hi We're officially half way into the year of 2025. Time has flown incredibly quick, but the saying is true; time flies when you're having fun. We've got quite a big update this month, with introduction of new testers, team updates and our Rage Insider team being announced. All this and we've still got the winners of our giveaway from last month, you can find details out below; Anniversary Giveaway As we announced on LS-RP's 18th birthday, this month we're giving away free Premium Membership to eighteen of our players. Congratulations to the following winners: Eriga — thegoodroleplayer — Orvarr — Burnley — Laylowcki — EZY — dougzb — Johnny_Parisi _bUd_ — Cellophane — Lexie — plasutaOGromania — Sean_Christopher — Jessie_Joji — RocaDarius blancone — skrappy74 — luo You will receive your premium membership within 24 hours of this announcement.

Congratulations again, and thank you for playing! Illegal Faction Team The Illegal Faction Team have once again been hard at work alongside our development team to introduce new changes to the script in order to benefit illegal roleplay. We've recently introduced a whole host of drug effects such as; more and less melee damage both given and taken by the player depending on the drug of choice, taser resistance, tackle resistance and beanbag resistance. We hope that this is just one of many upcoming tweaks and changes to the script to provide people with further roleplay and to increase the demand and flow of drugs on the server. We haven't released any information as to the exact effects added in the hopes of the playerbase themselves experimenting and finding their ideal concoction! In the month of June, we're placing a big focus on reviving the Illegal Faction Team Public, and would like to make it far more accessible than it has been since relaunch. Keep an eye out for upcoming announcements for more information on how you can get involved. We're also launching a new initiative/scheme to promote passive roleplay for illegal factions who have hold turf on the Turf Map and meet our expectations in terms of quality and community standing. We're now offering business leases to factions to hold for the duration of their faction's activity. Your application's success will be based off a number of factors including whether or not your faction requires a leased business from IFT to promote roleplay, whether the business type is realistic for your faction, etc. This is not a guarantee for all factions on the turf map, but is intended as a reward for those that deserve it. We'd also like to add that we've opened the LOI's for the Illegal Faction Team. If you'd like to join IFT, please feel free to review the following and forward your LOI to @Aloosh, @unlawfulactand @badhbh. Marketing Team We have been surveying some of our newest players to try and find out how they came to know LS-RP, and why they joined. Almost every response was the same - YouTube! Based on this feedback, we’ve decided it’s time for LS-RP to adopt a more modern marketing approach, similar to those used in other gaming communities. By supporting our creators and offering perks that recognise their hard work and creativity, we aim to strengthen our online presence through engaging content - ultimately attracting more players to the server. The perks provided will include things like FREE LS-RP premium, test server access, content creator highlight inclusions, and more. As well as video bounties that creators can complete which awards credits, whilst providing us with the type of content that we're hoping to see. On top of all of this, we will have a levelling system for content creators, allowing creators to make their way up the ranks, unlocking new perks, and eventually becoming an official LS-RP partner. There is a lot to go through here, and we're excited to tell you more. Stay tuned for a separate announcement on this in the next few days.

Although not as territorial as other gangs, the skinheads have presence in the area. Members can be found on Ambrose Street and Oak Hill Road, as well as local trailer parks. They tend to be more mobile than other gangs in the area. The crime they commit revolves around the manufacturing and distribution of crystal methamphetamine. It's the number one choice drug for all white gangs. Other hardcore drugs such as heroin are also prevalent. Assaults, burglaries, and robberies are other common activities. Anything which is deemed worthy of solidifying the gang's reputation, is carried out by the members.

Made with love, enjoy!

Thank you for all the interest shown so far. I do want to point out that this adjustment does not mean joining will now all of a sudden be easy. We strive to roleplay everything realistically IC and recruitment is no exception. In fact, much of Valenti's success across all eras can be attributed to our stringent recruitment/progression process; delayed gratification has worked wonders for us in many other facets as well and will continue to be foundational to our success. There are other LCN factions where you can simply have an Italian name, ask for a drink and they'll hire you to do dirty work, but that won't cut it here. Working your way in will still require the ability to portray a realistic character, creativity, and patience. It's no secret our activity has been below peak levels for a while now and the server as a whole isn't as lively as it once was, so we felt a public Discord channel is an appropriate move for the time being. We're giving you a few nuggets on where and when you can find us to make joining a little more convenient, but it's on you to plan a realistic character and find your own pathway into the faction from there. In regards to the recent decline in activity: don't worry about it. All factions experience peaks and valleys when it comes to activity and ours are unavoidable due to our memberbase being much older than the average faction and increasingly pulled away from the game due to real life responsibilities. The beauty of Valenti, though, is that it's very rare that people ever leave the faction; they'll take a break from roleplaying and return home when they have time to get back into the game. Our ability to retain players over long periods of time is simply second to none and rest assured myself and countless other Valenti loyalists will return home when we have the time. We have experienced far greater activity slumps in the past and rebounded to incredible heights; I have no doubt that will happen again. All that to say: don't let our recent slip in activity deter you from joining, but rather look at it as a prime window of opportunity. The inactivity currently is at the associate level, which means naturally there will be a higher demand for manpower and more room for characters to advance than in many previous eras. That doesn't mean it will be quick or easy but now is certainly a great time to get involved if you'd like to make your mark on our historic storyline. With that said, I hope this adjustment dispells the misconception that we are a closed club full of elitists and don't want anyone to join because that couldn't be further from the truth. This is the Mafia; our exclusive nature IC is self explanatory, but on an OOC basis we are thrilled to have new people join. We may or may not be as engaging as other factions are in their Discord channels, but we are also cognizant of creating an immersive roleplaying environment IC with no OOC strings attached. Every single one of us was new to this faction at one point and we can all speak to how helpful the faction and its members were in developing us as roleplayers. Valenti has lasted so long because it's always been a breeding ground for the best LCN roleplayers and we are looking forward to seeing the next generation emerge and helping them along the way. Just two cents from the dead boss. Keep up the great work everyone.

Under the "totality‑of‑the‑circumstances" test of Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983), probable cause exists where there is a fair probability that evidence of a crime will be found in a particular place. Affidavits must be interpreted in a "commonsense" manner that recognizes the training and experience of law‑enforcement affiants. United States v. Ventresca, 380 U.S. 102 (1965). As the affidavit below demonstrates, the convergence of independently corroborated surveillance observations, CSLI data, undercover recordings, and victim‑witness statements establishes far more than a "fair probability" that evidence of the enumerated offenses will be found at the Target Locations. Courts routinely uphold search warrants for the residences of suspected gang members where surveillance shows the member commuting between crime scenes and the residence. See, e.g., People v. Camarella (1991) 54 San.An.3d 592. CSLI and physical tailing place each SUBJECT at his respective residence within two hours of the Havana Club assault. Given the short temporal proximity and the inherent mobility of firearms, there is a fair probability evidence will be stored at these homes.

Barrio Los Padrinos (Ganton, Los Santos) Sureño Set in East South Central By: Alex Tovar | StreetGangs.com Los Santos LOS SANTOS – Nestled in the eastside streets of Ganton, just a few blocks south of the Jefferson Towers and north of the Grove Street cul-de-sacs, a relatively unknown but steadily growing Sureño street gang has started gaining traction — Barrio Los Padrinos. Long standing hit up that depicts the gang (BLP) and its members, both active and deceased Taking its name from the infamous Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall facility in Downey, California, the name carries weight among those familiar with the youth detention system. While the original Los Padrinos Varrio formed in the streets of Norwalk in Los Angeles County, this newly rooted clique in Ganton claims homage to that same institutional upbringing, now reflected in their street identity. The Los Santos-based Barrio Los Padrinos (BLP) is composed mainly of second-generation Mexican-American youth with family ties to South Central and East Los Santos. Many of its members are believed to have cycled through local detention centers like Twin Towers Youth Facility or done time in the SA-YA system, where the “Los Padrinos” name took on more than just street meaning — it became a badge of survival. GANTON ROOTS BLP established its presence in the early 2020s, taking advantage of the shifting gang landscape in Ganton. Once a stronghold for Black gangs — including several Blood and Crip sets — the neighborhood has seen an uptick in Latino migration, both in housing and school districts. Members of BLP were originally affiliated with different local Sureño cliques, but began representing under the Los Padrinos banner as a way to separate themselves and pay homage to their shared institutional past. The gang’s core turf lies between Ganton Boulevard and Alendale Avenue, claiming territory around Hyatt Park, and several apartment complexes known for gang activity. Their graffiti — marked by B.L.P., halos, prison bars, or shackles — is now visible along alley walls and electrical boxes throughout the area. Criminal Activity and Affiliations Like most Sureño gangs, BLP aligns with the Mexican Mafia and flies the standard Sureño flag — six-pointed stars, the number 13, and blue bandanas are all part of the visual identity. The set is reportedly involved in low-level drug sales, gun distribution, and street extortion. Local reports also connect the group to identity fraud schemes, possibly influenced by older veteranos with access to stolen data and banking scams. While still considered a smaller set compared to cliques like 38th Street or Rancho Trece, BLP’s presence is increasing. Members have been observed carrying out jump-ins near the Ganton flood tunnels, and local law enforcement has started tracking several individuals tied to narcotics and weapons trafficking. The gang’s rivals include Black sets still active in the area, as well as other Sureño cliques who view BLP as outsiders or disrespectful to neighborhood politics. Despite this, they’ve managed to avoid major RICO cases or high-profile investigations, likely due to the low profile their leadership maintains. Cultural Identity BLP blends prison-influenced discipline with street-level adaptability. Members often wear black and white Cortez sneakers, Dickies, and Pendletons. Tattoos referencing cages, clocks without hands, and “Padrino” script are common. The gang uses prison slang and incorporates Catholic imagery in their lifestyle — rosaries, crucifixes, and saint candles can be seen at makeshift shrines for fallen members. Unlike some LA sets that boast size, BLP leans into tight-knit, loyalty-based structure. Most members grew up together, went through juvenile hall together, and now walk the same blocks daily. The gang also recruits younger members, often targeting vulnerable kids fresh out of alternative schools or group homes. Outlook Barrio Los Padrinos in Ganton remains a developing set, but it represents a deeper trend in Los Santos gang culture — the rise of hybrid cliques pulling from both traditional Sureño roots and institutional subculture. Whether BLP will solidify its spot or fold under pressure from older, more established sets remains to be seen. But in a city where a name on the wall can mean life or death, Los Padrinos is starting to echo a little louder each week.

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY Federal Bureau of Investigation Southern San Andreas Field Office Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force Armenian Organized Crime in San Andreas: Fact Sheet Last updated: 11/MAY/2019 The Armenian Power organization — aliases: Armenian Power 13 (AP13); AxP, Vinewood Power Gang; North Vinewood Power Gang; East Vinewood Power Gang; Armenian Mob; Armenian Mafia — is a predominantly Armenian–American criminal enterprise based in the Greater Los Santos metropolitan area where it has remained since inception. Armenian organized crime is unlike more traditional forms of organized crime present in the United States in that it lacks a definitive leadership cadre. Similarly to the associated Russian mafiya cells, members within the organization are primarily ranked according to their individual ability to generate profit though the organization differs from their counterparts through their significant street presence within their neighborhoods of operation. These activities are used to facilitate overt luxurious lifestyles. In gang parlance, this is referred to as "putting in work" or being "active". While the Armenian Power organization is involved in the distribution of Schedule I-III controlled substances as well as arms similar to street gangs, such activities are suspected to only make up a small portion of the gang's income. Instead, there is a focus on white-collar crime — often in conjunction with prominent Russian mafiya figures ("thieves-in-law") — and focused on various forms of fraud. Members identify themselves through overt gang tattoos Attachments 1a., 1b. and knuckles tattoos, 1c. potentially in homage to Russian prison art as well as gang signs that showcase allegiance to the Mexican Mafia Sureño program 2a. and "AP" for "Armenian Power". 2b.

Putting the Hustler in East Side Hustler Crip

E/S 984 MAIN STREET MAFIA CRIP The Main Street Mafia Crips (MSMC) are an African-American street gang located on the East Side of Los Santos, Ganton. The Main Street Mafia Crips originated around the 1970’s. They consist of two sub-sets known as the 84 Main Street Mafia Crips and the 98 Main Street Mafia Crips. The 98 Main Street Mafia Crips originated around 98th Street and Main Street, between Colden Ave and 104th Street. The 110 Freeway (Harbor) and San Pedro Street, acts as their borderline. The 84 Street Mafia Crips are located around 84th Street and Main Street, between San Pedro and Broadway Blvd. The 84 Street Mafia Crips are smaller than their counter part 98 Main Street Crips. Despite their size, the 84 MSMC are known for their brutal reputation for violence. 99 MAFIA CRIP The Ganton Bullies are an active clique based in Ganton, operating under the broader structure of the 99 Mafia Ganton Crips. They control Hyatt Park and are well known around 99th Street. Word is that Ganton Bullies are closely aligned with 984 Main Street Mafia Crips, and the three sets used to go on drills together targeting their rivals from 38th. One of the most talked-about rumors is that Tiny PopOut (99/GB🕊️), his cousin Tiny WhaccEm (99/GB🕊️), and Zay Osama (98MSMC🔒) were involved in the drive-by shooting that killed rapper Juju from 38th, on 28th Street, in El Corona

Just for fun, some trailers made in the past. Let the corniness guide you.

Thought I'd post some of the funny stuff that goes around :] Elephants in the Room No Game

OOC INFORMATION Miyazaki-Dōmei 宮崎同盟 is a fictional criminal organization which is inspired by Japanese-American diaspora networks and "traditional" Yakuza ideology. This faction is not portraying a direct Yakuza branch from Japan, but rather a localized syndicate which operates independently in LS and of course, it is shaped by cultural heritage, modern American influences, and street-level realities. The focus of the faction is on portraying a realistic criminal environment, which draws from real-world diasporan models similar to those of Southeastern European factions, like, Southeastern European and East Asian groups which are active abroad. All recruitment is handled strictly IC. We value character development, respect for continuity, and we adhere to all server rules. For questions & concerns, or constructive dialogue feel free to contact @Femto

We're portraying a realistic white criminal street gang located in Las Colinas with strong ties to the Aryan Brotherhood. This faction does not promote OOC racism. If you are looking for more information or have questions regarding the faction please send a private message via the forums. We want to add depth and structure to the white criminal roleplay scene in a way that makes it more interesting and enjoyable. Portrayal remains our priority and players will be expected to maintain a high standard of roleplay, whether they're a permanent member of this faction or an associate. Posting in-character screenshots on the thread will be considered a granting of your CK rights to the factions leadership.
