Nightlife RP is fine just don't make it the entire server's point/peak idea, like the competition did. Seems like all that server is, is night club RP.

Couldn't agree more, lets hope for the best.

I can agree on needing more clarity. I think I speak for a lot of people LSRP on SAMP was not enjoyable around 2018-end. The novelty started to die down in 2018 and plummeted until it's nail in the coffin. Luckily, that existing management doesn't exist and LSRP has a clean slate. It's refreshing to hope there will be more transparency and better management. As much as I poke around at making jokes ab LSRP, I do actually like the direction I've seen Martin boy and co take it. I am excited, but I do not want this server on a rules and RP level to feel anything like what already exists. I want to know I am playing LSRP, the server we all loved and grew up on. "This isn't realistic. This is someone's interpretation of 'fun' and this is what would plague the server if we didn't enforce a 'realistic' atmosphere. People have different definitions of fun because it's supposed to be something that you enjoy doing. These people obviously enjoy doing this, which is why it's so ruinous. They don't roleplay for 'realism' they roleplay for a release and if you enforce this 'standard' then this is the type of players you will attract by default. So on one hand, you're saying "That server is full of people RPing who they wish they could be" (which falls under the definition of 'fun' but on the other, you're saying "Everyone knows how to RP by now, lets have fun" (which also falls under the definition of 'fun') and what that is, is a double standard." And yes, I know that aspect of that said server is not realistic. But it's not fun, either.

Okay, quickly put no need to make a paragraph, where does LSRP and the community stand on discretion and realism/rules. My example is; remember how LSRP on SAMP was so much fun, even if you did try to be super realistic? There was a balance. Now, compared to other text-heavy RP servers on RAGEMP, LSRP has some leverage. Even though it is going to be new, we need to realize something long term. There are similarities to us and the competitor, the pivotal point of LSRP will be a few things. Nostalgia, illegal RP (if executed right here, God I pray so), fun/realism, flexibility. My worry for LSRP, since there already is a similar server that is like here - we obviously need to learn from other people's mistakes and be unique. How can we do that? Easy: Bring back the fun to LSRP. The competition is infamous for a few things. Too much ERP, very sub-par illegal RP, too super realistic to the point to where it's not fun, favoritism over legal factions to illegal. It should be equal, and finally poor discretion from admins whom only RP'd one "side" of RP. We need to use nostalgia to make illegal RP different here and good, it needs to be fun on top of that. I'm not sure exactly what we could do different here all too well, yet. But a big concern elsewhere is the drugs/gun economy being poor. Also, with RP in general a quote that really sparked my eye of how fun LSRP was back then: " I miss the old LSRP back in '15-'16 when you could go to the mall one evening and hang out with other mallrats, some idiot comes up with a bat and starts a massive brawl, police and paramedics come etc. It was chaos but it was fun. Realistic? Not at all. But who cares when the alternative is driving around an empty map for 5 hours to then spend the next 3 in the same /anim in a bar, talking pointless and realistic nonesense with a stranger you'll never meet again? " We really do not want the second part of that quote to be a problem here. I'm not saying go ahead and let everyone break rules and be too lax. But, here's the thing: all of us here been RPing since the dawn of GTA RP and it's just burnt trying to be this super elite RPer who is trying to rewrite a Michael Simon script for HBO. The problem with the competition? That server is full of people RPing who they wish they could be, appearance, confidence, etc - but the problem isn't that simple, these people all RP the same Kim K. bs super model EPR second life club goer, and the server lacks so much on the illegal side, it's just flat out boring as hell. Same ol night club, same ol car meet, same ol "British" police. Yawn. It gets old after years and years, esp if you have been RPing forever and just want to have some fun. Not everyone wants to do this super life simulation 1:1 ultra realistic supreme shit anymore. We did that years ago, sorry for who missed out. Everyone knows how to RP by now, lets have fun. Most of us are in our 20s+, you think we wanna do that supreme elite shit anymore? ------------------ Let's make LSRP V something special like SAMP was.

Only thing I'll say about nightlife RP, is hopefully here on LSRP, nightlife RP isn't the only thing the server does, if you know what I mean.

LS-RP could be great if: It felt like old LSRP, it's golden era. Illegal RP was ran better, more fun than other servers. It wasn't a 1:1 replica of real life, which makes it boring, like other servers. LS-RP was great on SAMP because yes, it was realistic, but it wasn't trying to be real life, 100 percent. An example would be if you go to school IRL, you don't want to play LSRP V and make chump change working at a gas station. Also here, lets hope that this community isn't based entirely off E-RP nor people complaining about how boring the illegal RP is. Remember how great illegal RP was on LSRP? Lets strive for that.

seriously. and lets not restrict buying those better guns from only euros or mafias lol, street gangs can get/sell guns just as easy as anyone else. not every gun comes off a "boat" lol

Seriously this. If people are so afraid of there being "more DM" etc - make the punishment for DM harsher. It shouldn't take years and years to establish a good illegal economy of guns and drugs because someone doesn't have enough OOC connections. Illegal RP feels so weird and boring on other servers because you have to awkwardly go to high end clubs miles out of the hood to make IC connections just to get shot down by some Russian who says "I'm dry right now, but i'll sell you a half ounce of cocaine." "How can we make illegal RP better?" Like I said above, this ties into: idk why people think only russians etc sell guns that u can't buy a gun off a gang lol, shouldn't have to do that ^ to get a gun.

Yeah idk why people think only russians etc sell guns that u can't buy a gun off a gang lol. Couldn't agree more.

Keeping the LS-RP official status system would be a good start.

Thank you Mmartin! 😍

-------------- nvm

fun and not 1:1 with real life.

wish they'd drop the LSRP samp sctipt tbh.
