Cruising by NLA hood, we found a contender with a few people, just standing, enjoying the protection the cameras afford them. As we made our way up north, we found two NLA outside their hood, and lacking protection, they were promptly put on their knees. Swinging by Grove St, we received the second half of the tribute from Ballas and left on a good note. It was then settled to have an impromptu meeting, where we discussed some issues and ways to avoid them in the future. A more select meeting followed, as more long-term subjects were discussed for the organization. Neutrality was formally established with GD, and Oti in particular seemed very energetic and ready to take on their enemies. We then linked up with the Triads, in what's hopefully the first of many meetings in the new year. They even managed to fulfill a request of Andre, on the spot. The fights and meetings behind them, the whole crew went to the new club, where the VIP section was green and blue only.

Trey met with his counterpart in the Triads for the last payment of the year, and discussed the gang's progress since it's inception to the present, and the future. As the year drew to it's end, the Ballas resurfaced and agreed to pay their dues and make formal peace. Armed and ready, the gang climbs the mountain as they're about to engage in the last great battle of the year.

I can confirm that the plate option does nothing with older vehicles. Tested with Comet Retro.

big -1 There are major sync issues caused by the client (RAGE) and throwing one-shot kills into that mix is a recipe for disaster and a lot of frustration. If RAGE delivers on their miracle patch and greatly improves sync, it might be worth it to re-visit the topic. But as it stands, it would just make all sync issues 10x worse.

The war with NLA continues and they are pursued every time they venture outside the safety of Tequila-la and/or LSB. Their vehicles do no fare any better, constantly finding themselves chopped by the Assassins. We loaded up in vehicles, and went out to the Chumash Plaza to meet the Misfits. The tension was high, as several of their members had issues with the transition from enemies to neutral. Trey decided to lighten up the mood with a joke. Before the night was over, we received word that a lone deputy was about to arrest one of us.

DM 2 is very common and is technically a permanent ban. -1

big -1 use high end or door sell if you don't trust the buyer if you want to avoid taxes, take the risk

I don't really see how it would be beneficial in practice. Let's say Jason Reed is being arrested for GTA and Felony Evasion. Just from that I can glean that he stole a car and ran from the cops in it. What would really be gained if for example it said: GTA - stole a pink blista Felony Evasion - he drove down interstate 1 until he crashed into a barricade It seems rather redundant. It would also severely clutter the screen when you look up a person's record, which is already a nightmare to navigate for people that go to prison regularly.

Linked up with the Triads to discuss some prospects and the on-going war. Following the tentative peace made with Ballas, WCA accepted tribute from Misfits and it was decided that they would be allowed to live. DeAndre drove past the NLA Headquarters and noticed them slipping away with Misfits. They were obviously being approached about teaming up against us. There will be no allies. No saving grace. NLA is alone, and soon enough, they will be no more. Devoid of any allies or hope, NLA concentrated all of their resources into purchasing three heavy weapons, and tried to set up an ambush at the WCA Motel. Several WCA were injured in the fight, however all of the NLA woke up at the hospital, without any of their precious few heavy weapons.

I'm surprised this didn't get more community interaction because I agree with most of the points made. Good, well thought out and explained topic.

I am against forced server-side mods. I agree with GOAT that they stand out like a sore thumb, and if @Pertinax wants to use them, there's nothing stopping him, but forcing them on the whole server seems excessive. -1

about that...

I suggest reading the thread before providing feedback. This has been addressed multiple times.

This is something of a polarizing subject. There's clearly a majority of people that do not want others to roleplay a female when they're male. There's a few people that pulled it off with less comments about them being "trannies" but I don't think anyone did it completely free of that kind of an attitude. There was a thread about voice changers that quickly devolved into a thread about whether or not men should roleplay females on the server, that might be a worth a read since this is of interest to you: All in all, it doesn't seem like the community wants to be accepting of this kind of roleplay, and I'm not sure that adding a rule would fix anything. They could always call you other random insults if they don't like what you're doing.

Is there a petition for the arrest of Karen White?

In the dark parking lot of the observatory, the high command of Zetas, Triads and WCA meet to discuss recent events in the city and the path of an organization in it. Following the joint meeting, Andre and Jay meet to settle the organization's debt and discuss recent developments in the conflict. Andre and a trusted higher up meet with the Ballas high command as Jay shadows the encounter. NLA's place in the city is discussed, and an agreement is reached.

It ruins custom interiors, it kills vehicle handling, it looks like white pudding and it doesn't make sense for a heavy RP server based in Los Angeles.

I'm not a fan of the snow, at all. In my opinion it should've only been here 23rd through 25th.

WCA meets up with Vory to discuss the tacit admission of defeat from NLA and improved collaboration between our organizations. United in resolve and purpose, the crews head out to find their mark. Find they did; The leader of NLA was captured and asked to pay a reasonable sum of money to end the hostilities. He claimed that they have enough numbers to make us equals and stated he will not pay anything. He was forced to change clothes, ziptied and berated by each individual in the group before finally being put back into the trunk that he arrived in. Following a long ride in the trunk, he was ejected into the cold snow in his "new" underwear where he could wait for his numerous soldiers to rescue him. We were about to move on some of his soldiers as their usual allies turned against them and had them exit their vehicle with hands up. Nevertheless, NLA is indeed numerous, and a great source of SNS pistols with little ammo. The city's population was dwindling, so was Vory's and WCA's, however, unlike other organizations, we take pride in quality not numbers. Five against Fifteen, the snowy field next to Paul's farm was running red with the blood of the coalition: NLA, Ballas, Misfits and Wanted. The only one that was spared was Abasi who fled with great haste in his purple elegy after being served a small dose of lead. The crew then moved to Chilliad mountain where they began chopping the opposition's vehicles. Not like they had people to drive them anymore. Walking into the clothing store south of bank, the group settled upon a most unfortunate NLA member, who was shopping by herself. She's now in the market for a wig, knee pads and a new SNS pistol. Virtually the entirety of Ballas' leadership was being chased, and even with law enforcement assistance, there was no saving them from the Assassins. Several WCA were arrested during the efforts to capture them, therefore, an example was made of the wanna-be gangsters that take comfort in relying on law enforcement. Adriana, leader of Ballas was promptly relieved of her hair, but sadly before any more humiliation could ensure, she was granted mercy by bleeding out. Hairless and bleeding into the cold snow, she could not bear to say a single word and instead stood there in great shame. The rest of the leadership was not so lucky, and they were made to eat the meat of their fallen underlings. with their leadership in the hospital and/or full of the meat of their soldiers, the rest of the organization fell easy prey to the hunting party.

having a great time roleplaying with Jamal and rest of Vory, definitively a great choice if you're looking to roleplay a good russian mafia.

During a regular checking session we ran upon an extinct gang member: an outcast. Apparently he's been out the city for a bit and didn't learn about his gang's fate. The Assassins noticed an unknown man driving a Triad car, they proceeded to get him out the car and contact the Triads for retrieval. Loaded up and in formation, they went over to a parking lot to meet with another organization. At first everyone exchanged names and pleasantries, cracking a joke or two, especially Prozacel. It was then time for business, and the leadership of both gangs had a secluded conversation. Back at the motel the group gathered and unwinded, before going out once more.

Isn't that your job as a police officer? Catch them and fine them?

The second post in the thread is now up to date and contains the broad strokes of our journey; from the beginning, with just five members, to where we are now, four months later. If you are interested in that kind of stuff, I recommend reading it.
