manslaughter

I trolled here and there but Valenti made history on this server since it's initial inception Part of me, in many ways, wishes I would of gave it a shot in it's prime

I hear you. I'm simply suggesting to trim the fat, and therefore move forward with a rebrand. But with the current state of the community, and the management (or lack thereof), this is slim to none.

@Mmartin@badhbh@bobster@jack (badhbh and jack responded here already so I'm only addressing the other 2) @Mmartin You need to leave. So consider your input irrelevant and unnecessary. Thank you for all that you did in your tenure but you're useless and dead weight. @bobster Care to chime in? The literal rest of the staff (with a small exception of a few names that I personally know/rp'ed with and are active rn) are useless fat, that should be trimmed down by 75%. This is the last response I'm going to make here, but Kev and a few others really hit this fucked up nail on the head. It's not feasible. There's no action plan. There's no true leadership. The worst part? This staff doesn't give two fucks about you, the average player with some sort of pride in producing heavy text-based role play, once the foundation of our community. You're a number on the worldwide internet, whom they don't know, therefore can give a shit about the time/effort you are putting into your respective factions. If they did, they wouldn't waste your time and deflect from the problems effecting the server right before our eyes. 150 players is honestly doable. But a new leadership ideology will need to be made, and transfer of all of LSRP's assets to someone else so a pivotal rebrand can be attempted will be required. If not, I would honestly urge every player who isn't a GTA V simp to let it go. Just leave the game. They don't deserve you or your time.

I shit on Valenti a lot because it's fun, and troll on here but in all honesty, you done fucked up people The simple fact that you banned almost all of the decent players (there's good factions around, but obviously cannot hold up this server) because of idiotic reasons and as a staff, could not take accountability to the fact that you had a shit management is the problem. And this problem won't change. When I had my faction running at the start of the SAMP revamp (say what you want about our quality of rp, your thoughts, etc, I don't give fuck. Simply correlating my point in a generic sense) we were actively role playing and contributing. How df does it take the staff team (at the time) 3 OOC months to approve business requests, and then another 2-3 months to even consider our strawmen requests and schemes which were ultimately shot down. This staff team has alienated this community to the point of mediocrity and complete failure. Wanna see the PB boom and have maybe one small sliver of hope? 1. Unban everyone and begin accepting applications without holding a gun to their heads. 2. Enforce strict rules, and discipline as necessary to ensure a seamless transition of an increased PB. 3. Process any and all applications in no more than a 2 week review period (if as a staff you're overworked, then figure it out. That's literally your position). 4. Drop LSRPV, either ride this shit out to the fullest or focus on 1 thing at a time. You will never be successful managing 1 failing server and trying to develop another failure. This is common sense and the fact that you continue to think it'll work is crazy. 5. Use Reddit, Steam, and Discord for mass advertising. Youtube and all that other shit doesn't work, and is labor intensive. If you make short reels of engaging rp, it'll entice players and bring back old ones. 6. Someone said it, but remove @Mmartin and replace his ass with someone who gives a fuck, and can explain where LSRP's money went all these years. He's dead weight, once you can come to terms with this then can a new kingpin drown the community's thirst for intense role play. I guarantee you if I was unbanned (not that I care to be at this point, but I guess I still give a shit about this community because of nostalgia) I can bring 6-7 players with me. There are other banned players I know who can do the same. It's really not a hard concept.

Relax child, I only stalk your guys thread for the immaculate rp I'll reiterate @Martinela keep holding the fort down buddy, i'm enjoying the rp on both of your characters

Isnt Bobby Kessler your alt 😂 good shit Valenti, keep it up

you know lsrp is in the gutter when out of 27 comments on an monthly update thread, 4 of them are non-staff players goes to show how delusional this community has become. You literally have more staff then actual players existing in this failure

dog, this server is a waste of time. Just come to those terms. how df yall expect this low PB to pick up on rage? did you forget that lsrp already blew it the first time for shit management, deleting player comments (that they didnt like, ultimately banning them), degrading their PB, and thinking the lsrp name would hold it up? Even that michael dippolito dweeb with valenti cant hold this up.

273 character apps handled and 80% of them didn't make the cut apparently

Relax big dog. Just goes to show how dead this shit is anyways Don't take things so serious in life over the internet my friend

You know a faction is about to close when 1 person is constantly posting screenshots in attempt to keep it active

the fact they're still trying to do this heap of shit and a gta v based rp is comical

dont come back, not worth it

whats the server pb like nowadays?

Waiting for that one staff member to swoop in here: "Ok you 5 year old children, we're done with the back and forth, we'll be watching comments because you can't formulate your own opinions and conversations" Follow by a bunch of removed posts/hidden shit Let's see if alooshy, Eren, or Jester sweep in

these admins are quick to close a faction more efficiently then to handle a request for a faction to receive some sort of assistance for roleplay. What makes all of you continuing too comment when they don't give a fuck about you, or this game (they as in most, if not all admins/testers on this shit). Then @JesterJrhas to play captain save a hoe cause hes the only admin remotely looking at this shit. You know what will make these useless, redundant admins leave? Close your factions, and stop playing lsrp. Again, they don't care about you or the server. It's evident. 2 out of 6 of the current official factions are active (EHC, 18th and Blanco are excellent factions but I can't imagine them wanting to continue to play when their suggestions and ideas are thrown to the trash, as evident via this 26 pages of unused recommendations). The admins purely don't care. LSRP has dropped it's standards when we started letting these shit factions constantly report, accepted sub-par roleplay and development, and put player count over factions/players ability to produce diverse and nuanced rp, creating more heavy based standards. Now look at the faction thread, I don't need to say anymore. I'm glad I got banned from this server, and I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned again for my comment. Admins despise dissent and disagreement, they sure as fuck despise your recommendations even more and it's obvious.

At this point throw the whole staff team out and start fresh with a select few

For the server to improve, certain staff members need to shut up and take accountability, then implement. You’re a case in point. I wish I could just shut your ass down with proof but my account is banned. By the way, you were the most attentive/active during your time within IFM so don’t take it up the ass when it ain’t fucking you. I’m simply saying 2 things can be true at once, and IFM are/were a big factor to the failure of this server. This is coming from a faction leader who helped contribute to this server like others in this group, so I can say whatever df I want at a minimum.

Literally missed the whole point/purpose of what I said. community, this is a fine example of why people leave/keep leaving and why you aren’t listened to. Flip (and many others with this mentality) have a toxic, continuous hatred for certain members. And when those certain members speak out they’re shunned and talked down to like children. instead of actually comprehending my post you took from it that I’m complaining about not getting strawmen, when it really was the fact that it took months to get an answers and then a bs denial when we were trying to find out how we can reapply and got denied. That shit flew over your thin ass head apparently. Whatever tho, y’all do you

Relax bro. See how angry you got, if it was anyone else we’d be forum warned for “flaming and toxic attitude”. when df did I say leave it up to 1 or 2 people? I said leave a position of leadership to 1 or 2 people and then communicate and UTILIZE faction leaders as a committee or “board”, for a lack of words, to determine decisions made for factions. You’re barely touching 100 PB daily, you don’t need a whole IFM team. You’re not getting bombarded with major IFM requests every single second of the day. Maybe try and … idk, listen to the community saying the same shit over and over instead of trying to justify why we’re wrong and throwing lowball shots because what? You took 3-4 months to look at my factions strawmen app and then denied us because we’re “applying as a faction” or whatever bs you came up with. It demotivated factions/players when you continue like this.

Hello, I’m one of the “banned players who creatde a toxic community here” the leftover scrape of pb still playing this keep regurgitating Anyone who didn’t follow the status quo: DMers That’s why the small leftover of this community keep harping on that redundant talking point. But those same ones y’all banned for “DM” left… then this whole topic started because the pb went to dog shit not long after. All that to say, we are hearing from individuals who don’t understand the true essence of roleplay. They’ll hop in for a couple hours, get some nice screens, do the same orchestrated rp and then do it again the next day. Little do they know is the amount of time/effort was put into development when our faction specifically couldn’t even get a business for 3 months, couldn’t get drugs on time, let alone approved for strawmen until about 3-4 months from submitting our app, get bombarded with forum reports for petty losses, couldn’t get answers for recommendations I submitted to IFM, got ignored when I asked about property management questions, started with literally $50,000 on returning to this server (we didn’t have legacy money like a lot of y’all), no property, no house, nothing. And we still outlasted and produced a lot of these shit factions who think they’re contributing anything other than numbers. LSRP use to put development and accurate RP respective to that factions dynamic on the forefront of the server. @DDaniels we can agree on one thing, it was never about script shit. It was about the passive, enjoyable rp conjured by a willingness to portray the most accurate character you can. It was fun that way. @Eren @Helius you won’t last long, and this will eventually die out. But at a minimum, you can salvage this and get a good start in 3 ways: 1. Put the management, leadership and testers up to a board. You have more chiefs than Indians, let the community vote for their administration. Give them say, a week or 2 and then get new, effective, result-driven staff in with in game time to back it. 2. Focus on the requests. It’s an easy short term fix. People start gaining assets (businesses, schemes, jobs, NEW ways to make money, etc) it’ll maintain if not maybe boost numbers and playability. Incentives, for easy money and scores. 3. Remove IFM as a whole. They’re useless and are not needed at all. Head of Factions . . Assistant HOF . . Consistent, effective communication with the current faction leaders still active, no position needed just fucking listen to them.

this obviously flew past everyones head here. Well said tho, my dad used to say dont be afraid of losing bad apples if youll have a successful bushel

i think having staff support for unofficial factions to continue to thrive and want to grow would help. I'd show you what my recommendations were to IFM but my account is banned. Updates like the last one, albeit a little late, but consistently put out would help maintain or grow a PB tremendously. But wtf do i know, the messiah of all rp has deemed me unfit to speak. Keep what's left of the server pleased and add fresh ideas to the table, active support from staff, not allowing factions to throw a barrage of reports for petty bs because they suck, etc.

no ones reading all of this, you 40 year old virgin. Again, shit rpers with a little bit of shine now that they have no competition weening off a dying server who still lives with mommy and daddy (if u have one, but that way u turned out im sure he left you too)
