    Hi guys,
     
    We're excited to announce the recent addition of three new official factions to our SA-MP roleplay server! These factions have showcased an outstanding quality of roleplay, dedication, and have been focused on creating dynamic and exciting scenarios in-game. For the last two months, several factions have been part of our Official Faction Candidacy scheme, where the factions in question have been closely monitored and mentored by members of the Illegal Faction Team in order to improve and grow as a faction. Unfortunately, the competition was extremely tough and the Illegal Faction Council had to make some difficult decisions in order to select the few successful candidates out of a group of high quality contenders. In the end, only three out of five were selected to progress to official status!  
     
    Congratulations to E/S Mob Piru Gang, The Galleani Crime Family and Blanco—Longoria DTO. 
     
    As for upcoming illegal roleplay updates, please keep your eyes peeled as we're hoping to address some issues with the drug circulation in-game. The addition of these three official factions will of course be of help, however with the recent addition of /cutdrug, we are looking to tweak things to meet the server's demands. I'm also very excited for us to release some new mapping additions to the server intended to target illegal roleplay, and provide new and interesting areas for factions to roleplay. Keep an eye around the city for construction work! 
     
    As always, if you'd like to have your say on all things illegal roleplay, please reach out to @Kev regarding joining the Illegal Faction Team Public group to take part in suggestions, integral discussions around updates, rule changes and much more!

    Illegal Faction Team Update

    By badhbh,


    General
    Rules of Engagement Update

    The Rules of Engagement for Illegal Factions have remained more or less the same throughout the history of LSRP with some tweaks and changes along the way to meet the community's feedback.
    We've had extensive discussions within Illegal Faction Team Public and our Illegal Faction Team/Council and as a result, we've updated the rules slightly. 
     
    New factions are prohibited from provoking other factions and must be open for a minimum of 1 week before conducting an attack on any faction. (Previously, 2 weeks)
    If the newly formed faction is attacked first by an opposing faction, they may actively retaliate against them in a realistic manner that accommodates their faction's current development. It is worth to mention that newer factions shall not attempt to loophole around this clause by performing robberies or brawls with the intention of getting attacked by another faction and entering a faction war. ( To clarify, ALL factions are only being considered as 'opened' on launch date which is 17 May 2024. Meaning to abide by ROE, you should not be attacking until 24 May 2024 )
      Only FOUR participants can be involved in any faction attack, this includes allies.
    As an attacking faction, you are to choose your weapons realistically based on the severity of the war.(Previously, 6 participants)  
    These changes have been made, and are active in immediate effect. Any questions can be directed to our Illegal Faction Team, and if you'd like to have your input on illegal roleplay, we encourage anyone interested to send @Kev a PM on the forums expressing interest in joining Faction Team Public where you'll have access to discussions like these. 
     
    Chop Shops & You
     
    The Chop Shop system was first introduced in 2012 and has been around since. At first, it was a part of the thief job however along the way it was amended to revolve around Official Factions.
    Since this was implemented, there hasn't exactly been direct guidance of what is expected from official factions who roleplay around the chop-shop in terms of roleplay and behavior, and perhaps some aspects of what is 'acceptable' has been forgotten. We've added the following rules to assist Official Factions in meeting the expectations for roleplay we have for them. 
     
    Chain Robberies: It is not acceptable to spend all of your time going from car to car to commit chain robberies all day. You are expected as a representative of an official faction to be an example of proper roleplay to the community as a whole. Chain-robberies will result in admin punishment, and can put your factions Chop-Shop access at risk. 
      You are expected to roleplay realistic vehicle robberies; doing a single /me and relying on the automated message for hotwiring is not adequate roleplay. Further to this, you're also expected to fully roleplay your actions when taking the vehicle into the chop-shop. Is your character/another faction member a mechanic? Where are the parts going ICly? It takes time to strip a car, and you're expected to roleplay this appropriately.  
    Illegal Faction Council
     
    Lastly, I'd like to take a moment to thank @Helius for the massive amount of time and effort he's put in to Illegal Faction Council, helping us to get the Illegal Faction Team on its feet and creating a positive environment for IFC/IFT to ensure illegal roleplayers received the support they needed at launch. As he's now stepped out of the role we've decided to bring on @Spectre and @Kev to join myself and @Spanion on the Illegal Faction Council. 

    Lastly, it has been brought to our attention that certain factions have been breaching ROE and continue to do so even after the above information was announced on our discord server. While myself, and other members of IFC/IFT understand how frustrating this can be, we need factions to start filing faction reports. It's next to impossible to fully investigate faction reports in-game as there are so many nuances, cooldowns and required evidence to consider before making a decision. By filling a faction report, you're helping us monitor and weed out factions that are not here to roleplay so that we can focus on supporting the ones who have taken the server's SAMP relaunch seriously. You can find the faction report section HERE.
