    Additional points I'd like to throw out there.

    • Adding a guide for new players when they first join the server. I previously stated in the tapering how some friends of mine quit the server because of how difficult it is to get money. However, another set of friends let me know that the reason they left is because they had no idea what to do. What do I mean by this? Well, they explained to me that once they logged into the server and created their character, there was no guidance whatsoever. They weren't sure where to start, what to do, what were the options to get money, etc. We need to have something implemented in-game that can show players what they can do when they first join. A little guide. We can't treat this server like it's old LS-RP where people know where everything is and how to do it. We need to cater to the new playerbase.


    this should be easily accessible IN GAME and not exclusively through the forums

  2. Nothing's guaranteed, take advantage of the day

    Cause you never know when your life will be taken away

    And when I go, just let me slide across the sky

    Because you gotta know, baby, even bosses die

     

    Tomorrow's not promised, I took advantage of the moment

    I never was happy here, yeah, and you know this

    I was discontent like an instrument that had no one to play it

    Know what I'm sayin'?

    ==========================================

     

    In Loving Memory of Kieren Ledbetter (2004 - 2023)

    It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Kieren Ledbetter, a young man of 19 years, whose life was tragically cut short. Kieren's journey in this world was marked by unique traits that endeared him to those who knew him, even as he grappled with personal challenges.

     

    Kieren was known for his jovial nature and a heart brimming with friendliness and loyalty. Despite spending a lot of time in solitude, he could always be counted on to bring smiles to the faces of those around him. His sense of humor and goofy antics brightened many a day, leaving lasting impressions on the people he encountered.

     

    Throughout his life, Kieren battled with drug addiction and found himself entangled in a life of crime. Yet, it's important to remember that beneath these struggles lay a young man with dreams, aspirations, and a desire to break free from the clutches of his vices. He grappled with these challenges courageously, and in moments of clarity, sought a path towards redemption and a better life.

     

    Though Kieren faced these adversities, he was fiercely loyal to the few individuals he allowed into his world. His loyalty was a testament to the depth of his character and the love he had within him, despite the circumstances that surrounded him. Sadly, Kieren did not have the privilege of a close-knit family to guide him through the trials of life. In this difficult time, we reflect upon the importance of compassion, understanding, and reaching out to those struggling in our society.

     

    We mourn the loss of Kieren Ledbetter, remembering the young man who tried to find his place in a complex world. May we cherish the memory of his goofy spirit, unwavering loyalty, and the joy he brought into our lives. Let us honor him by seeking to understand and support those who face similar challenges, offering kindness and a helping hand when needed.

     

    Rest in peace, Kieren. You will be remembered and missed.

    but it is. it takes one moment to look at gtaw and see all the events & businesses that have spawned from there being a social media site lol

     

    mmartin himself knows this. he tested your hypothesis in like 2018 when he stopped hosting faceinvader after it shit the bed (under the assumption that more players would go ig) the reverse was shown though, people stopped going ig which is why he brought it back

     

    social media enables easier interaction between civilians and gangs. it gives reasons to feud, meet up, create businesses and advertise events in an organic way. the other option to this is to drive around a large server with 20 players hoping you'll happenstance your way into rp which just isnt going to happen. people would rather hop on gtaw where they can get into rp instantly whenever they want

     

    you need ways to facilitate rp and this is the easiest way of doing it

    Thank you

    its ok. we're discussing the rp hub problem and my solution is social media. if you'd like to discuss it and stop being insulted, that'd also work

     

    social media is not an rp hub. "stop being insulted" is a very childish way to handle that. i dont FEEL insulted, youre just hurling insults at me lol. but i understand this is going nowhere, thanks to your petulancy.

    If you think that's how social media works, I feel bad for your social life

    im trying to think of how it would apply to creating rp in game, not how it would work in real life - it's very different. insulting me isn't helping me explain anything at all. i am asking a genuine question and you are being very unhelpful.

     

    regardless, this topic is about RP hubs and not about social media. if you would like to be a grown up about it and PM me how you feel social media might generate RP, i am more than willing to hear you out.

  6. Personally, I think a lot of communication can be lost without being truly face-to-face, 

    And without intonation and other audible cues to determine intent, sarcasm, state of mind, among other things, I think, having certain things in your /me that can perhaps give off obvious body language, without specifically describing that body language

     

    For example, “/me thinks he’s hot shit.” or something after a comment your character states can really drive home the tone and body language that character is using without having to write out a lot.

     

    It’s a matter of knowing when, and how to use it. Though, I do understand where you’re coming from.

  7. H&L = Smith and Wesson (S&W) because of the M&P9 equivalent
    VF = FN Herstal (FN), because of 5.7x28 which is their signature weapon
    Shrewsbury = maybe Sig Sauer? don't know
    Moore = Remington because of the 870 model number, and 700P being the infamous R700
    Knight = Mossberg, because of the 590 model number
    Agnelli = Benelli, because the S4 is the Benelli M4
    STAR = KelTec, because KSP is KSG
    Kruschev = Kalashnikov, because Taiga is a parody of Saiga which is a Kalash product
    Malt = ???
    Frances = Franchi, because SP12 is the Franchi SPAS-12
    Milennium = ??
    Dubrovnik = ??
    Kensington = ??
    Yegor = ??
    Maibatsu = ??
    Clarke and Hayes = ??
    Ruby = Ruger, because AR556 and Mini-41 (14?)
    Mann = Colt maybe??
    Springer = Springfield, obvious
    Global Targeting = Accuracy International, because the Magnum sniper is the AWM
    Spencer = ??
    Croatu = ??
    Futon = ??
    Mal = Colt maybe, because of the "Law 6920" model number which could be the Colt LE6920

     

    Locke = Glock
    Kinder = Kimber
    Malt = definitely Colt, because of the 911 model number being probably the 1911 classic
    DPP = ??
    Frei = Browning, because of Hi Power model name
    Sky-Hi = Hi-Point
    AWS = ??
    HEK = TEK
    PA = ??
    Arach = Czech Small Arms (fs 61)
    Steiner = ??

    During Kieren's recovery, he's found himself resorting back to his bad habits, and now he's too broke too afford them.

    I agree that IC actions need IC consequence but disagree with the way this suggestion is trying to achieve. If the crime rate is more in a certain area, increase PD/SD forces there. Increase jail times there etc. The action needs to happen ICly through IC means.

    I agree. However, people have already complained about excessive police presence and excessive jail times. No one can be happy.
