Yassss Scottish queen. Tell us what the topic will be xox

Mostly seems like everyone's in favour of the Quest 2. Roll on payday and I'll give it a go.

Well-written guide on an interesting topic, nice work!!

Welcome! Also I like the idea of a club entertainment character. Good luck

This I do agree with, fully. Smart people learn from their mistakes, really smart people learn from the mistakes of others. There's an opportunity here to do both. And yes, plenty of old returning players who've had enough experience to provide valuable insight, and who are mature enough to present it from a place of genuinely wanting the server succeed, without expecting anything in return. Though the issue is that I'm sure the leadership team will be swamped with people who have their own hidden agendas, as there always has been, so it's not always that easy to differentiate. Keeping the door open for suggestions and insight from folks in general is harmless however, and a huge step up from where we were a couple of years ago.

I'm afraid this is as I stated on the previous thread; I basically don't see any demand for this right now, nor in the foreseeable future. It's best to consider ideas for which there are demand, such as security companies, media companies and so on.

Yeah having read through everything here I'll throw my lot in with the "SA = California" view. Hopefully the results of the poll will be taken into consideration. Also I took a look at "another community" which has an entire section dedicated to continuity/lore, and an individual who is basically responsible for maintaining and updating it. There's also a very open Q/A thread, and suggestions seem to be taken into account, so this sort of thing would be nice to implement here. Think someone else made a fair point earlier regarding the fact that this is the sort of stuff we can proactively sort out before the server launches. I wonder what else could go on the list...

I tried to learn Spanish over 2020 lockdown. Failed. Would definitely be useful for holidayz though.

I respect that time and effort and thinking has gone into this idea, I really do. And it is different, of course. The thing is though that we're so far down the line with the jurisdictions and responsibilities of the PD/SD, that I do fall into the "Nice idea but not really needed right now" camp. Things that will probably be needed are things like actual private security companies - they were always popular and I've not really come across any of those yet. Some Governments do contract security work out as well, for events and so on, so it's not outside the realms of being similar to your proposition in that way. I think it best to take the approach of asking where there's a gap in supply for the demand of a certain type of RP, or IC service. For instance we don't have any media companies from what I've seen - so there'd be demand for that. Security, as I've said. There's no doubt more! Respect for the time put in but yeah, I think best to consider going back to the drawing board of ideas on this occasion.

Yeah from my understanding, the confirmation is that it's an island (though I understand many people don't seem to be massively fond of that idea from reading back). The answer on replacement of California or not isn't clear yet - perhaps it's not been decided yet?

Hoping you are safe and well my dear. All is well

Thanks for all the feedback y'all I'll be updating this after server launch and obvs, depending on how much interest there is in this sort of RP. I do recall Mmartin mentioning that, although there won't be scripted news commands in the beginning, it's something that is planned. So in other words, if you're planning on RPing a journo, it's best to get in there early and prove what you can do with forum/internet articles etc. Also potentially the social network on the phone (not seen much of this yet!) Watch this space

This basically sums up my opinion too, very well-rounded answer.

Pretty sure there used to be an official party line on this one, can't remember what it was though. Personally I prefer to see San Andreas as somewhere separate, but at the same time, I'd never actively talk about LA. No strong opinion on this really, whatever suits (so long as people don't start calling LS places by their LA counterpart names, for instance "Hey did you see what happened at Hollywood Bowl?")

Y'ello there. My character is running Government's Cultural Affairs Office when the server launches. We'll be responsible for organising events, observing religious festivals, and supporting events that people organise (provided they fit within certain criteria). I reckon there'll be plenty of opportunities for us to have roleplay together, provided you guys are still active with this idea. I can send you some more details over PM but yeah - wishing you good luck with this one

Finally got around to reading this, we stan. Always a necessary evil getting this sort of mad paperwork sorted but all looks gud.

LSRP in like 2008. Unless we're counting Habbo Hotel >.>

It's easy when you get the hang of it! Definitely get Audacity - it's totally free and easy to use. Hmu on Disc if you want a tutorial or two - I've done basic edits for my guides and stuff in the past. Not sure how you'd do "interviews" though - maybe just recorded Disc convos? dunno!

Oo yes also if you want hints/tips on video or audio editing then hmu. I use Audacity and Premiere Pro.

We stan this, good luck and if you want a guest speaker about Gov / news / generic legal RP I can join in de fun. Subbed mainly for the sexy accent tho.

Loved Vice City, was the first GTA I played. Do hope it's back there again. But I also hope that they get their shit together with a better storyline.

I'm playing on some kind of "harder than normal" difficulty and I enjoy the challenge, but the storyline is not engaging and there are still bugs. It also annoys me that my Corpo character isn't any more unique than the others; it's like that choice in the beginning barely means a thing.

Welcome back to u

The first female Mayor was Naomi Williams in 2010 - who was also me but I killed her off shortly thereafter. Then I believe Susan Licther was... 2011? Then Allegra Nixon was 2012. Could be totally off with these dates actually. There were a few other female Mayors - Allison Hall and Valentina Richardson for instance.
