Here me out: Custom trash trucks that can hold more trash and provide 2 mounting points for 2 additional garbage men on the back to allow for people to team up and collect more trash faster. Currently, Trash collecting does not seem too popular when there are more than 5 people collecting at a time. A way to help this would be increasing the amount of trash on the map, whilst lowering the cash you get from each one. This will give incentive for people to band together and work as a team, collecting trash realistically. Usually a driver never jumps out. They keep the engine running and continue down the road while the loaders run to each house to collect their bins. You would have to make it possible to load trash into someone else's truck. I feel this would give much more RP purpose and it would make trash collecting more fun. Trashtruck Tier 1 Can hold 20 trash and 2 people on the back Trashtruck Tier 2 Can hold 40 trash and 2 people on the back Reduce the amount of money from trash to $120 per bag (excluding the job bonus)

Two table members and their two Bratoks took the opportunity to collect an order from the brothers and sisters at TLMC. Upon arrival, they were met with two new faces who were not affiliated with any gang. The two friends had happened upon The Bratva through word of mouth and had shown keen interest in joining the family. The Table members took kindly to the interest and sent Rychie to find out more about these two new faces, whilst they dealt with TLMC and the high-priority order. The two new faces were, in fact, pretty old faces. Rychie approved of the members and their mutual acquaintances they claimed to have. They were involved in some underground work and were good at keeping their names under the radar. This sparked interest through Rychie and he decided a more formal meeting should be set up to discuss association and values. Rychie exchanged numbers, gave the two friends a location and time, and they would proceed to the discussion once the priority order was complete. The order was ready for collection but the payment was due to be made. Due to a long lasting relationship built on trust with TLMC, the order was handed over before payment. The Bratva members proceeded to the City Bank with one of the valued members at TLMC, a good friend of all of The Table members, and a key contact for the family. In convoy, the team drove lawlessly, in true Russian fashion. Once reaching the bank, the money was exchanged and the purchase was deemed complete. With both parties satisfied, The Bratva table members parted ways with the TLMC member and agreed to meet with the two potential associates before their next important meeting. Rychie gave the new faces a call, to confirm he was on the way to meet them at their planned location. He travelled with his personal vehicle, unaccompanied, to a special meeting point. He bought two blindfolds along the way. He met the two potential associates, blindfolded them, and proceeded to drive around the city in an untraceable pattern to hide the location of The Bratva's temporary HQ. Upon arrival, the two new potential associates were escorted onto the property and into the building. Their blind folds were removed, and they were seated in the office of ANON (Table member). The Table members began their routine, as with all new potential associates, accompanied by the two Bratok members, who were taking notes for future recruitments that will be required of them. \ After vigorous questioning and testing, the Table started realising the value of the two new potential associates. They were experienced thieves who had knowledge that The Bratva was trying to syphon throughout their time in the city. Liking what they were hearing, The Table members left the room to discuss the matter. After some discussion between the two table members, they re-entered the room. The new faces were invited to join the family as associates, to later prove themselves and become loyal members of The Bratva. They accepted the invitation. They were asked to revise the laws of thieves and accepted the fate that had been bestowed onto them. They celebrated with a bottle of Vodka. Introductions commenced and the new associates were welcomed by the two Bratok members. The two new associates were sent off to purchase some appropriate clothing, as The Bratva was about to have a very important meeting. This meeting would be a turn-page moment for The Bratva.

+1 Boats need purpose! And piracy would be an epic addition! Would give rise to more ocean roleplay for police, criminals and civilians (plus life guards). I wouldn't mind seeing some ocean based trade points either, like a harbour drop off point for fish hidden for new players, but discovered once found. Plus some drug dealers based on anchored boats in different places. Would be great to be able to travel by boat to sell drugs to an offshore dealer who transfers out of the country. Gives incentive to sell via ocean trade to be more safe. Ocean patrols would become viable.

+1 Also +1 to the dot to indicate the message is unread. Could we also perhaps script something that lets you see all your most recent messages at the top, and from then on in order of appearance like you would on a normal phone? Right now its set to order of message sent to the person, so an active chat/unread message is sitting in the middle of 10 messages and I have to read all the chats to make sure I don't have any new messages. If they were automatically prompted to the top based on the recent messages and have the dot marked for "unread", it would make much more sense and in line with realism.

A few days ago, we decided to gather intel on police response times with store robberies, as it was the most raw experience we could get without attempting an entire bank robbery. We covered our tracks with all the necessary tools to keep our identification hidden throughout the process. We had to make sure our car was not registered to anyone so Rychie came up with a plan and made a deal with the scrap yard. He had a car set aside that would suit the job, and paid the dealer in cash from the previous week of ATM robbery test runs. This cash would be untraceable as it was laundered through a good friend of one of our Table members. With all the robberies being a success, and the loyalty of our two new associates had been proven to be remarkable, we treated ourselves to a few bottles of Vodka from the family bar as a celebration. To growth, unity, power and knowledge, we made a toast! To the future endeavors, the tough times and the good times, the times of war and the times of diplomacy. We could see our future taking shape right before our eyes. In due time, and classic Russian fashion, we ran dry of liquor. The Table was thirsty and decided to send Rychie and Jay to fetch a few more bottles. Rychie took his personal car and the Table members went for a joy ride with the scrap car, taking bets on when they'd get pulled over, though it seemed the police of San Andreas were a bit pre-occupied, eating donuts and sitting on their arse doing f$@% all. No surprise there. Irresponsible drinking persisted and the numbers were fading. The last two remaining drunks decided its best to sleep at the family bar. They were wasted, without a care in the world, leaving the empty bottles laying around, lights on. They passed out within seconds of laying to rest. All that could be heard was a deep growl-like snore and the occasional gastric movements. The place was a f#$%ing mess. The next day, Rychie could not find the scrap car. It was no where to be seen. Upon waking, the Table members couldn't syphon any information about their drive they had the previous night. Rychie decided to follow the skid marks on the tar mac to try figure out where they had ended up parking. As the investigation pursued, it clicked in one of the members heads that they had ended up at Bennie's Auto Shop. Unfortunately, the car was f^@#ed. We couldn't get hold of a mechanic so we decided to ditch it there, and deal with it later. That is where the story takes a slight turn. Rychie was fed up with the service in the city, and decided its best to ditch the car in the ocean and not have to deal with the crimes linked to the vehicle. He began pushing the car down to the freeway, and off into the harbour. He was met by some interesting characters with monkey masks. This reminded Rychie of a conversation he had had with another person who had claimed to be part of the same family. Rychie confirmed the validity of the claim by mentioning the person's name. This is where a conversation started. One of the members decided to help him push his car. He told them he needed to get rid of it and they said they would assist in pushing it to the harbor, but because they are a legal family, Rychie was instructed to finish it off. Whilst one of the members dealt with the scrap car, he called in one of his lower ranking members to chat with Rychie under what we have now claimed as "The Monkey Tree 3". Next to it you can see "The Monkey Tree 2" and "The Monkey Tree 1". It was never intended to be their tree, it was just at the right place at the right time and now its stuck with us. After vigorous discussion, both lower ranking members exchanged their core values and what they are looking for in the city. A pairing of legal, and illegal dispositions. This could be a long lasting alliance for both families, as they can both provide one another with incredible value. Phone numbers were exchanged and Rychie introduced himself to 3 of the members. A meeting was set up for an appropriate day where the High Ranking members of both families would sit down to discuss business. The allegiance would benefit both families, helping them achieve their goals faster.

With a goal set to overthrow the San Andreas Government, The Bratva are working towards growing their database with intel on the Government and its Police Department. Intel of this caliber can only be gathered through real world experience, to test the capabilities of the San Andreas Police Department. Some may consider these exercises as "petty crime" or "low earning heists/robberies". To us, it is considered paid knowledge. We do not commit crime for the sake of committing crime. We take every bit of information as value to the family. We note down every aspect of the Police Force, their strengths, their weaknesses. This intel will come of use when performing high-risk; high-reward tasks, such as bank robberies, prison breaks and extortion. The soldiers of The Bratva have been tasked to gather as much information on response times, response tactics and preparedness laid on by the Police Force in different areas of the city. The team have been extensively testing the abilities of the San Andreas Police Force, noting their time-of-day responses and how they adapt to the varying levels of crime being committed. This intel will be stored in The Bratva database and will be vital information for future heists. We are constantly staying up-to-date with the ever growing use of technology and communication amongst the 'Pigs'. Every detail takes us one step closer to success in the future. Every single step we take, every reaction that is laid on us, every mistake, fault or mishap by the Police Force is noted and stored in our database. It does not stop there. We know that with crime, comes risks, and with risk comes failure. Failure is not a loss. Failure is just as important as success. Information and intel can be siphoned from anything, even failure. We are taking note of the steps taken from start to finish, when an arrest is made. The training process for cadets are a vital key into the knowledge we are gathering. This information is free and of utmost importance. Training cadets will always have someone talking over their shoulder, making sure they are doing their job correctly. It is with this knowledge, handed to us on a silver platter, that we learn the most about how the Police Force operates. This information can only be gathered by being caught, and so sometimes we intend on getting caught, for the sake of the family. When we are caught red handed, we always make sure our bounty is secure. However, our priority is knowledge, and knowledge is the key into the mind-map of the San Andreas Police Department.

The Bratva are known for their professional approach to business. Be it the mundane task of cleaning the streets of rats that plague the city, or helping out the brothers and sisters who show respect to the values that we uphold. Respect and loyalty are top priorities for the brotherhood. The Bratva strives in making business a painless task, no matter the risk. If business brings reward, you can count on The Bratva to bring you success. As with all things in life, nothing is free. Present The Bratva with rewards, and you can find comfort in knowing we will be there to assist when things go south. When our associates need something, they know they can count on The Bratva to get it done right. We strive to secure long lasting connections with people who see eye-to-eye with our brotherhood and its values. Without it, what is there to live for? It should be known that anything our associates desire, we have the right people to get them to the place they wish to be. It is this kind of mentality that has built strength amongst our family and our business partners. If you think you can cross us, you are mistaken. We don't take kindly to traitors and snitches. You may know the age old saying "Snitches get Stiches", with The Bratva, it's more along the lines of "Snitches get Ditches". Be careful what you wish for, because The Bratva can make anything possible. When you're out there on your own and you think this world has nothing left for you, know that The Bratva will always have something for you. Know that you can create a new destination. Prove to us that you are devoted to our ideas, committed to a life of discourse that pairs with trust, loyalty and reward. Join the brotherhood and show your dedication to our family and it's values, and you will quickly realize what we mean when we say "The Bratva will always have your back".
