Bully Nguyen comeback is real?

Guys still active with it. I like what I'm seeing.

This thread follows the development of Robert "Bobby" Laurito.

Congratz everyone. Looking good!

Good stuff good stuff. Fun watching all the youtube videos with Mmartin and co in general chat right after the meeting. I'm glad we finally can expect a launch.

cba looking if I ever posted these but:

Always liked Whiskey and Jager. Recently actually discovered that I also like certain red wines. Rarely drunk them before and had a few bottles here and there.

Good job @Sal Bring us the players. Also gz @Benavides and @DDaniels. Good people for the Illegal Faction Management Team.

Yeah, hopefully gambling is brought back. It's definitely a fun way to enjoy the game. Some-thing that should be heavily checked up on is the actual role-play done there. Maybe have admins receive notifications about poker games that have started to occasionally check up on them and make sure that it is all role-played. I mean, you shouldn't have to do a /me line each call, fold or check you make but a /me line here and there about folding and doing something other than just sitting like a robot would be necessary. I hope they bring the option for players to be able to host gambling sessions again. Nowadays, many organized crime groups run their own gambling games, such as blackjack or poker in their own businesses in order to make some money on the side. Plenty businesses have also been shut down because of that. It would bring some fun role-play for the detectives of both PD and SD to role-play around as well.

I wouldn't actually do that. I feel like if there's a new faction that does not have the best screenshots or the best thread, they'll be frowned upon and certain groups or individuals will be "funny" and spam their thread and posts with down-votes. The communities I've been part of that have a negative reputation system usually end up with some people being hated for having a negative reputation score, which isn't the best display to people and will eventually cause some of these people to leave because they don't feel welcome here. Constructive criticism is a possibility for people who you think require a "down-vote" and I feel like that should be how it goes. Beside that, currently the reputation system does not even allow reputation to be negative and it is a bit of a hassle to work out a way for negative reputation to be included with a down-thumb emote.

Well, after your post, we have gotten two updates in the span of about 3 weeks. We've also gotten another community post just today as LS-RP is preparing for a launch, hiring more staff members to deal with the numbers. I hope you've gotten your answer for it. One thing that did kind of disturb me here is the fact that you compare LS-RP V to GTA VI. GTA VI has plenty more developers working on it compared to LSRP V and it's an extremely weird way to compare these two. The test git channel shows what is being done etc. Now, the staff team along with early supporters have been testing the server. There have been screenshots and videos released from how it is looking right now and it looks as if we're moving towards a release. The staff team shouldn't give us a "time" of opening as previously we've seen that certain issues will lead to the server not opening when there's a set date. There are still bugs that come from testing that need to be fixed. The development team is working hard to fix any big bugs that could hinder the server right now. Sure, Mmartin could've released a bugged server, but what good is it for the staff team to deal with people making a /helpme every fifteen seconds about a bug that the team is very well aware of, but can't be fixed in the span of an hour. The development team has their own real lives to take care of and there's plenty of people who think that it's not the case. Give them some time and it will be out. I know it has been said countless times, but I think that it's coming out for real now and I personally have gotten back the motivation and actual hype that I had when I was initially going to release.

Yeah right. That's exactly how it went with SA:MP, right? Oh yeah nobody's going to play after the peaks of 600 players around 2012-13 to 2016-17. But the staff literally had to raise the player gap when Covid hit. We had around 900 players peak at some point. It's not the fact that people will not come back, but it's the fact that we're being lied to. I didn't want to pick sides or anything, but I've seen that Mmartin is severely slacking. If there was a chance that somebody else could take over full time, I think the management should heavily consider it as an option, but in this state it's hard to find developers ready to do this full time. And yeah. You really are losing it on the "30 players at most". There're factions in here who are WAITING patiently, that rack up a few hundred players alone. If the advertisement is done correctly, this could double or triple within the first quarter. You just don't know enough about how role-play works. A generation dies and a new one comes, like it or not. It's not only "the other major GTA V text RP server" we should be looking at. There are FiveM voice servers where a lot of people play that are waiting to be unbanned from "the other major GTA V RP server" or for the release of LS:RP. I know that from like around a thousand people patiently waiting from the start we have around half of them left, but we still have people waiting for this. It's just embarrassing how we've been told to wait and wait for this thing to come out. I still haven't lost hope, but it's crumbling slowly.
