In addition, folks are bored of the status quo and are looking for someone to blame. There are no stakes on LS-RP anymore. Get cut off by a faction for moving too heavy? Just hit some friend of a friend up on Discord and he'll supply drop you 20 fresh M4s. Got a problem with another faction? Just close ranks with your buddies and sit on their hood with nametag hacks until they log in. Faction strike? No problem, just close down and make a new thread lifted straight from ChatGPT/Wikipedia. On the LEO side, the only stakes have been the ones upheld by the leadership. PD/SD members sinking to the new "standard" of DM instead of trying to rise above it and power through it should be treated accordingly. They're the only type of faction on the server with no incentives against causing havoc beyond the slim possibility of accumulating enough punishments to be unignorably toxic players.

I'm not the biggest fan of bureaucracy but if you've put in the effort to set up and promote a business that requires door staff but come up short when it's time to open, that's an oversight on your part. You wouldn't /openbiz a bar without somebody to serve drinks. Do these club bouncers have to be the best roleplayers in the world? No, but they can really heighten the experience of your business if you mingle with the right crowd. In the Killeen Mob, we were a bunch of street-level toughs and would recruit muscle for our club out of our nearby gym. Like actual nightclubs, the door staff would usually give female characters a free pass on the ID check just to fill the dancefloor, taking the risk of letting in patrons that weren't yet old enough to drink legally. For Sova on Star Street, the bouncers are sourced from the local Armenian Power gang members. Without the presence of CEB, we'd probably still have hired bouncers but the fact they actively enforce gives the RP a dimension of risk. A degree of corruption / fallibility should be allowed to make CEB more interesting to roleplay with though. Right now it feels too caught up in the robocop mentality the law enforcement factions have been battling since time immemorial and OOC faction rules are only going to hinder any movement away from that. You're supposed to be characters first and foremost, not some homogenous hivemind of iPad drones.

This faction is worth scores more than any popularity contest and I look forward to witnessing its continued ascent into the annals of LS-RP history solely under the merit of the narrative geniuses herein.

what is the most " viral " way to edit rp screens these days?
Aberdeen replied to Peckerwood69's topic in General Discussions
Your screens look fine but why should you hold my opinion (or anyone's, for that matter) in such high regard? Do you enjoy your roleplay? Do you feel like you're developing your character in a realistic manner? Do you even enjoy making and posting screens documenting your RP? These are the questions you should be asking yourself. Blaze your own trail. It's really not that deep. -
Out of character information This faction is the latest in LS-RP's Eurasian OC continuum, of which numerous prominent official and unofficial factions have been a part. Armenian Power acts as street-level enforcers for both the Los Santos-based Eurasian organized crime interests – better known as the “Russian mafiya” – as well as the prison-based Mexican Mafia (“Eme”) and their Sureño counterparts. While the group does share many aesthetic similarities with L.A. cholo culture, operationally they are much more diverse, with transnational connections stretching half way across the world thanks to the diaspora of the former Soviet Union, and are typically more involved in white-collar crimes than Hispanic gangs. At the time of writing, this faction sits under the authority of LS thief-in-law Marat Gusarov and his brigada but operates with the autonomy of a familiar West Coast street gang.
