OBESE

Tried that. It only fixes the cars durability nothing else.

I did that and admin replied telling me it is not a bug, but rather an effect of the tyres being popped before chopping.

When two forces clash due to misunderstanding! (Clowns vs Vice) Met an old friend!

Hello, hello! So recently it happened that my car was stolen and chopped at the chop-shop and when I took it out of Mors I realised that the car tyres were popped before chopping. Due to that my vehicle had popped tyres also when I retrieved it from the Mors. So I come here with two short suggestions that I am going to explain bellow. Suggestion A: Considering the idea of a chop-shop then your vehicle is literally being sold and then taken a part. That is the reason why it says in-game that you should check out Mors if your vehicle has been destroyed. So if you think about it then Mors as of insurance gives you a new car of the same model you had, therefore it makes no sense that something like popped tyres should be a thing when you receive your new car from Mors. My suggestion is that when car is being chopped and taken out from Mors, it should come back as brand new, with no damage. Suggestion B: Second suggestion is for a situation if the Suggestion A is declined for one or another reason. What happened to me was I got my car, my tyres were popped, but no mechanics online. So I had to wheel my vehicle to my house and place it in the garage until I get hang of a mechanic. We all know, at least in theory, that driving with popped tyres is hard, but it is not impossible. What it does though is damage the rims a lot. That should affect the vehicles durability that we have in the corner. So my suggestion is to make it that when driving with popped tyres it would damage the vehicles durability until you fix the tyres. I hope you understand my reasoning for these two suggestions and that at least one of them will be accepted and introduced to fit more realistic way around chopped cars or driving with a damaged vehicle.

I would think that the Judge, most likely, would be an Admin or Moderator, someone already trusted with important tasks and sort of "judge" duties in other disputes(reports).

Hello! Not been long here and been trying to not put myself on the police radar with my activities and I would say I have been doing a good job except the only two times when I have been arrested and went to jail. With this little experience I have already learned that the whole justice system is very flaw and does not give a chance to do anything in the situation. Its almost like if the police decided to arrest you, there is nothing you can do about it. Sure you can run and resist the arrest, but that does not go with my roleplay. So all I have been able to do is to agree with everything that police is asking, like searching and arresting, while no chance to actually protest or try to get away with a crime due to lack of evidence, false arrest, false charges and stuff like that. Sure there is Internal Affairs report, but in a rp scenario that is done after you have served your time. Also the Internal Affairs report requires evidence from you to prove that you were treated wrong, but doing everything ICly, let's be honest, not many situations will give you a chance to have any IC evidence. And most likely without showing no evidence your report will be swept under a rug, when it should be other way around, the police should show evidence of you being guilty. The way that police is handling most of the situations where I have been part of is based on anonymous tip or I would say - total MG. So I suggest introducing court/judge to the process. It is very important because as someone recently said - the way the police is acting on the server is not as a police, but more like a gang with legal rights. Sadly I have to agree. For example, technically if my rights are not read to me then nothing I've said can be used against me. Just today I was arrested just for being next to Ace Liquor for just being on the street. No chance to rp that I am not making drugs, it was straight assumed that I was there to make drugs which is a total MG. Then my vehicle was locked-picked by a police officer without any search warrant and reason to even check that specific vehicle. Parking near a "known" drug lab is not against the law. I have spent two sentences without a chance to appeal the sentence or deny the charges, because after the police have locked their view on you it is straight to the moon with no stops. I can bet that there are a lot of people who could possibly rp their situations way better than it has been and had some ridiculous arrests. Like my first arrest where I was robbed and after defending myself and shooting one of the robbers, I got arrested for "armed robbery" and the actual robber was released free. I had no way to defend myself and was locked away for 56months which in rp is nonsense. The way I see it to work(option): Have an appointed Judges who can do case hearings and sentence. When a judge is online people can show up for their case hearings. Two levels of arrests - 1. Can pay specific amount of bail and come to hearing on your own. 2. Stays locked until a hearing and the time spent in waiting is removed from the sentence. If the person released on bail does not show up to their hearings within specific time, they are considered "on the run" and have APB and BOLO put on them and their vehicles. The system is not hard to implement and would be just part of the Police Department. Such system would make detective work way more interesting in arresting high rank figures based on evidence. Would make the arrests more realistic based on the evidence available therefore bring sense into the rp of busting someone instead of simply metagaming and abusing their powers as police. TL:DR Im suggesting to add Judges/Court to the server as part of justice system to make the rp experience more realistic and give chance to everyone to defend themselves and execute the rights that are being read at the arrest and rights as a person who is not guilty until the guilt is proven.

I have to agree with the concept of this idea because a medium level or small businesses should be available throughout the map. The small businesses could be those type that are not primary needs of the citizens. For example at the moment all the businesses are very important, like fuel stations, transport dealerships etc. But adding to that there could be business like car wash, legal drug stores(where you could buy marijuana plants) or anything like that that is an option to be part of your rp.

I would suggest that the Coma thing stays and indeed is reduced to 10min. But also make something like with store robberies, if there is not enough police officers on the server you cannot rob a store. So if there are not enough Medics on the server the Coma effect is removed.

Awhh Yes, the armour for criminals, finally!

Good. I just happened to bounce into some people and they were inviting to join mafia, but not really sure what was the name. Good luck then!

If who I met was you, then oh boy, the way of recruiting... I mean all fun and games, but when I see people here being hyped about "proper mafia" or "deep standard rp" and compare to what I witnessed, it saddens me. If those guys were you, then Im not impressed and very sad to witness it.

Sure thing, if the faith will put us in the same time and the same place we will as everything for us happens IC'ly and even we don't know who we will meet and rp with. Trying to build up a in a way that makes sense and periodically advancing.

Gaining more experience in the criminal world and understanding how things work, the Cassidy's finally decided to do their first serious organised crime mission. The goal of the mission was to steal a money truck that delivers cash to ATM's around Los Santos. Money was not the main goal, the main goal was to gain information to use for the actual hit mission. In order for the mission to be successful it was necessary to do surveillance on the routes and habits of the drivers and hit them at a quiet and not populated area, bring the truck and the driver to a secret location where to do analysis of the truck and it's security, and interrogate the driver.

Agreed! There is really no good reason to have the start of a robbery to be written in /me when the rest of the action, when you grab specific amount of cash in /ame.

I think so too, because we don't see that much kill on sight, but we do see a lot of rob on sight. Such rule is necessary to act as some sort of invisible police when the real police is not around. The problem in a lot of roleplayers minds is that they play through plain factor of what I see is what is there, not through imagination of what there should be if this would be reality. Like when robberies happen, no one cares about the CCTV and small stuff like that. There is so much to roleplay to consider that is it very sad to see this plain thinking.

Im a new player to this server, been playing for last 4 days and I WANT to have a good role-play although sometimes I might be overwhelmed with the personalities and the skills of more experienced players, but I dont mind that, that is my learning curve. What I do find an issue is the none-sense from other players, even those that are with a lot of xp on the board, which means they have spent a lot of time on the server and should know what they do. On the very first day the most common thing I heard, while doing farmers job, was that farmers do get robbed very often. And that raises questions in me. First of all, what kind of a gangster or any sort of criminal would chose a farmer to be his target? Second of all, if you compare your roleplay to real life situation, then what do you expect to steal from a farmer on a field? Sandwich? Coffee jug? Hoe? The same goes to robberies at the pier of those that fish. Like really? You gonna point a gun and steal some fish? It all goes down to meta-gaming as the fact that these people know that farmers might have some valuables like weapons and stuff on them is purely OOC based. Then again, even if it would not be OOC based, just some sense or common knowledge, then how about Fear RP? Shouldn't you be scared, knowing that the farmers have guns, they could open fire at you? For a new player who is doing stuff there and here it is really frustrating to live in a paranoia that some wannabe gang-banger might come around and take all you have on you. Like no fear from the facts that place like pier by idea is really crowded place (talking about irl), robberies at places where a lot of cameras might be located, not getting scared when someone approaches a store while you robbing it or stuff like that. I don't know what could be a good option, but it definitely has to change. Quality over quantity should be the way of thinking, because that is the only way you can make sure that there is good roleplay. Like adding no "rob on sight" rule, same as there is "kill on sight" rule without any good reason, would serve well and change this for better.

There is no specific date or time or even a year when this group was originally created or when they met. The cores figures of the Cassidy’s have been long-time friends from the childhood and each of them met at different times therefore no date can be set as the groups birthday. All of the core members came from the same areas, like Sandy Shore, Grapeseed and all of them used to hang out around Cassidy Creek for which reason when people spoke about them they called them – Cassidy Boys. The first illegal activities started when four boys, four friends out of boredom decided to entertain themselves by doing some small crimes like shoplifting, vandalism, car hijacking etc. Years passed and they grew up and the crimes started to become bit more greedy and serious. It was not anymore crimes for fun, they became crimes for profit. If while they were teenagers they stole pack of beers or bottle of schnapps to get drunk around fire camp or hijacking cars to go for a joy-rides and leaving some graffiti’s then with time that became boring as well and the need and wishes started to raise, making them turn to armed robberies to gain cash and hijacking expensive cars to sell them at the chop-shops. With the criminal activities the thirst for the power grew as well and more people got involved to cover more ground. Not being boys anymore but still having their reputation for their local crimes they, from Cassidy Boys, due to the area they were hanging out as kids, now went by just Cassidy’s. Cassidy's have grown from small crew of 5-6 people to full number of 10 members. Crew has joined up with VICE LORDS and at the moment are acting as part of them, learning things, making friends between VICE LORDS and allied groups like LOS ZETAS, IRISH MOB and others. Some of the Cassidy's have already proven themselves to be valuable members and earned respect and promotions inside VICE LORDS. Due to the working relationship Cassidy's now posses protection of being part of VICE LORDS and access to more resources than before. The wealth of members is slowly but steadily growing. At this point the group does not have no structure/hierarchy in place as everyone are close friends known for many years. With the time as the organisation will grow a hierarchy will be implemented that will follow specific guidelines to protect the core members and still be able to recruit new ones. The decision is made in group meeting where everyone gathers together and speaks out on the plan or the issue. This way of decision making will stay even later on and will be looked at as organisations board. Recruit new members Increase financial situation Fully move into Los Santos Plan and execute more organised crimes/missions Expand till 10 members Purchase several objects and safe-houses Gain respect from other organisations and gangs Become one of the leading organisations in Los Santos Gain reputation as the most organised organisation Earn a seat at the Los Santos criminal authority table Don’t talk about groups business outside the group! We are not a gang, so when asked which gang you’re from the answer is – none! We do not act alone, if you do, it has nothing to do with the group! You are allowed to live a normal life and have a normal job! We protect each other no matter what! We value friendship and family, so once you’re a Cassidy, you’re always a Cassidy! The recruitment is open but in order to become a Cassidy you have to know someone from inside or in some way make us to show interest in you. No specific recruitment process is used and the recruiting process is done only via IC methods. Making sure no evidence is left for the cops. Even best of us get caught. Two of the Cassidy's serving their time. Next chapter in our lives - getting into drugs. On a lookout while others pick up that weed!

In the Osvald's farm (near Paleto Bay) the field that is being used for plowing has 5 rows while only 3 are available for use. Sure the last row is quite small, but the 4th row still could be used. Your idea also works as Grapeseed is a farmers area and has many fields to offer.

I personally I am against it, because I just simple do not like the feeling of it. It's my preference and have no strong reasoning as in pros and cons.

That is a very false information. Been on the server for only two days and I have met plenty of farmers and also been in situation where a person cannot join farming because all 3 lanes are taken, when there still could be added 2 more as the field allows it. Im talking mainly about Osvalds fields as that is where I do my farming.

Hi there! With the growing interest in agriculture and amount of farmers wanting to take upon land at one of the farms and grow some wheat, due to the fact that economy is well in this area, there is a need of more fields to be available. The current amount is not quite enough as not even a handful of people can be part of this awesome farmer community at the same time. I hope you will take this into consideration because there are plenty of fields to turn into wheat-fields, just need the governments approval to expand. Kind Regards, Farmer, Teo Zucker
