Hello am Yaffa. Work as a commander of a weapons' mechanic group in the Dutch army. Been playing LS-RP for a while and I hope I will be able to bring the news deep inside you once we all get together on the ol' SA-MP again!

@MikeDawg @Fiendfyre I have run SAN from pretty much since the server started and so far I've had 2 applications which I both had to deny because of inactivity and insufficient English. So when you say people love to RP news reporters that's not really true. Say there was a script to support more news, like I've been saying from the beginning, there'd be a lot more interest in news RP. Right now the server's scripts are solely focused on gang / mafia vs cop / sheriff RP. All the different systems in place for the PD to ticket vehicles, a whole computer system with everything, a complete darkweb, and not a single line of script for journalism or news RP. In an RP server. All I could do was post news on the forums, and later on Discord, which was nice, but it doesn't do anything IG or incentivize people to head IG. I've tried to stay invested in the server but with the low playercounts and prominent people leaving lately it's really hard to find suitable news topics. I've tried contacting staff members to put more effort in the comms team because the entire team is dead on its ass. Many people want to give the server a boost but there is -so- little comms coming from the staff that it's just wearing me out. The community meetings were a great idea to keep the playerbase invested and there's been a few at the beginning of the server and that got dropped quick. I've also tried to get that back on its feet with no support. The last update (minor) was over a month ago. Devs posting snippets a 1,5 month ago about a phone anim and that has yet to make it IG. Don't show snippets of something if it takes ages to implement. A snippet should be implemented in a much smaller timeframe. More than a month ago the news script RP (which should have been in since the beginning, 'barebones') was forwarded to devs and we've heard nothing about it. Adding to that... A simple camera, which has been requested from the beginning, has yet to make it into the server. All these smaller jobs you're suggesting are good when the server's playercount is very high. Nobody wants to RP a janitor in an empty building when there's 50 people on. Everyone wants to be a part of something big, and when those parts are all filled -then- people will be interested in these smaller jobs. To climb up the social ladder. Right now all these jobs aren't needed, you can just roleplay them. Devs need to focus on other things, not giant new features but more features to upgrade all existing stuff. Implementing current approved suggestions. (Which is being done I believe) I still hope the server takes a turn.

First off, thanks for your honesty. For the reaching out to companies / factions part. Who do we talk to / post this? And I'd love to help out more with the server. Making (news) posts for the main site, keeping up communications with the community. I've said this before and it still stands. Just reach out through Discord. Most hardcore LS-RP players will always support the server. We see the potential of the whole team and we're sure that the server will thrive again.

Great news. I think the OOC limits will be a great addition.

100% agree with you @Venta. Especially the first two topics. Let's try to kickstart those things again.

"From vineyard to vault, our legacy is cast."

"At the pier, where the scent of the sea meets the aroma of vintage. Decanting wine, decoding arms; every pier visit is a ritual." "Some barrels carry the zest of the vine, others the precision of the forge. Both require finesse: the crafting of a perfect vintage, the calibration of a weapon."

Lucien 'Noct' Beaumont Within the lush vineyards of Bordeaux, Lucien's tale began. Raised amidst a legacy of wine cultivation and covert arms dealings, he witnessed the dance between luxury and the underworld. As a child, he roamed the vine-covered fields by day and listened to whispered secrets of illicit deals by night, fostering an intrinsic duality from a tender age. "The intertwining vines mirrored Lucien's own complex lineage—a legacy of wine and whispers." Dispatched to an elite boarding school outside Paris, Lucien walked corridors echoing with history and secrets. He rubbed shoulders with the progeny of aristocrats and criminals alike. His education wasn't just academic; the shadows of Paris taught him the subtleties of power, manipulation, and the art of clandestine operations. "In the heart of Paris, amidst historical walls, Lucien learned that knowledge was power, but silence was survival." To escape the ghosts of his past and to carve a niche for himself, Lucien ventured to Los Santos. Here, he fused his dual legacy, inaugurating 'Beaumont Vin & Acier'. This venture wasn't just a business but a statement, signaling his arrival amidst the city's intricate web of crime and luxury. "Every bottle sold at 'Beaumont Vin & Acier' was a promise of Lucien's commitment to his dual heritage in this new city." Lucien's life is a dance between the delicate notes of a vintage Bordeaux and the cold, calculated precision of a firearm. He likens the characteristics of weapons to wine—each has its distinct flavor, purpose, and allure. In his world, an understanding of both is essential for survival and supremacy. "For Lucien, a sip of wine was as telling as the weight of a gun in his hand; each revealing secrets, each commanding respect." As he wove himself into Los Santos's fabric, legends about Lucien multiplied. Whispers in dimly lit bars spoke of the man who moved seamlessly between the opulent parties of Vinewood and dangerous alleys downtown. Neutral yet invaluable, his reputation grew as both a confidant to the city's elite and a figure to be reckoned with in its dark corners. "In the labyrinth of Los Santos, Lucien became both a myth and a man, his footsteps echoing in the heartbeats of its inhabitants." In a city of aliases, Lucien's are particularly evocative. He's known by many names, each reflecting a facet of his enigmatic persona. From 'L'Énigme' to 'L'Ombré' to 'Noct', these monikers are not just identifiers but legends, each birthed from tales of his exploits and the mysteries surrounding him. "In the vast theater of Los Santos, Lucien played many roles, each name he adopted telling a different story." ((This thread follows the development of Lucien as a intrinsically motivated sommelier and arms dealer.))

Add the start / stop upgrade my bro. It's standard binded to 'Z' in /keybinds. You can use it to start / stop vehicles (that have the start / stop upgrade installed) with a hotkey.
