Date and time (provide timezone): Feb 18 2024 00:57:07 GMT Character name: Mike Reyes Issue/bug you are reporting: Fire Extinguisher destroys all public lab tables in 1 second. Expected behavior: Fire Extinguisher not to be able to destroy the whole lab in seconds and bring the lab down for hours so crims can't cook. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Use a fire extinguisher on the public lab tables and it will destroy the tables within seconds thus rendering the lab useless until the next rotation which can be easily abused for malicious intent and is likely the reason every lab has been down for the past 3 days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOxJAQCnqlo Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

+1 Agree with majority of the things suggested but the biggest change is the downtime in my opinion. When a lab goes down another should rotate in either right away or within like an hour or make it so Island is always active and the other ones can rotate / be shut down etc. Also fix the invisible tables at Sealabs etc and the couple of tables at island that don't work but are there.

+1 You can't even see the admin decision to a report you were reported in. Aswell as all the reasons listed above.

As a solution you can go on the panel (https://panel.eclipse-rp.net/) login with your account, then hit the top right and go "My Settings" and the link your account to any authenticator app and that'll work.

+1 to this.

So glad I got to RP with this faction. Such a good bunch of homies that deserved everything they earnt. Disappointing circumstances to go out on but at least it was together with our Mexican amigos.

This faction single-handedly was the only reason I kept playing the server daily and to be honest the only reason it was still enjoyable. Ever since the day the homies let me join it was a solid run of nothing but fun RP and good times with a bunch of amazing people that I'm glad I met. It’ll always be a reminder of what kept me entertained throughout the COVID pandemic & lockdown. We could easily keep going but sometimes enough is enough and it's honestly sad to see us shelve it but completely respect the reasoning behind it. Credit where credit is due, a massive thank you to @MissDeeds since quite honestly she’s the backbone of the group and made it tick behind the scenes. From dealing with all the shit from staff, writing the excellent posts on the thread, keeping people in check and anything else you can think of. I think I speak for most people that have been involved with this faction when I say this, thank you! "Mi Familia Sobre Todos"

Huge +1 well thought out and effort made here with some ideas that should be considered.

Can't wait to see what the notorious LS Slimes do good luck #SlimeSeason

Good luck with this McPuffin looks good so far, interested to see what you do with this.

Disappointing circumstances to have to leave on but always a relaxed guy to speak to, never no hostility with you and it's shit that I won't see you around on the server no more. Hopefully you can return in the future somehow.

Congrats guys, bunch of good people and always high quality forum posts, more than deserved. Hope you enjoy the benefits of official!

+1 and this needs to be looked at from a hardcore criminal point of view. Not a PD main that has a crim character that they barely play or put effort into. All for the robbery rules protecting civillians that are just buying some clothes or filling their vehicle up at the gas station, that was needed and made the server better in that sense. But as Carlos said it's become a protection barrier for criminals that get caught lacking by opposition. Also never understood the "too public" thing, you think IRL a criminal would hesitate to rob because it's too public? IMO not at all.

Mike Reyes Mike Reyes was born into an English-Mexican family back in the United Kingdom. His mother being English and Father being Mexican, he has 2 brothers Frank & Conner. Life wasn't easy for Mike back in the UK, during his teens whilst still at high school he was always getting himself in trouble, he hated school and found himself arrested a few times for silly crimes such as petty theft and burglary. He wasn't anything like his brothers, especially Conner. Conner was the complete opposite, a goody two shoes you could say, who wanted to be what Mike hates, a dirty marrano (Police Officer). By the age of eighteen Mike found himself just getting by, working a shitty job delivering food for his local Indian run takeaway, it wasn't earning him anywhere near what he wanted to be making. By this time his brothers had moved out of the family house, Conner was on his way to becoming a Police Officer, Frank had himself a girlfriend and was living his life. Mike was jealous of what his brothers had going on in their lives and came to terms with reality quick and decided he needed to start earning some extra cash to make his life much better and get the things he wanted. One day he was playing video games online talking with a homie he met through the game about drug dealing, the guy he was speaking to asked him if he'd ever ordered off the dark web before. He had heard about the dark web but never really thought much of it, upon doing some research and how to get drugs ordered off there he started ordering Ecstasy pills from Amsterdam, the best ones money can buy due to them being so cheap on there and once they arrived successfully through the post he started dealing them to the teenagers in his area which was making him a decent bit of cash to say the least. Months went by, Mike was still dealing and had earnt himself 10k in profit off the pills and things were looking good for him. He had been looking into moving to Los Santos to start fresh for a few weeks after hearing about the opportunities there for someone like him, he thought long and hard before deciding to commit to the move. Upon his visa getting accepted he was on the next flight to Los Santos with his bag filled with clothes and 7.1k in dollars. Arrival: 11/06/2018 Upon arrival and getting transported by shuttle from Los Santos International Airport to the Bus Depot, Mike was greeted by a man who never disclosed his name in a blue car who said hello and asked him to hop in his car. It seemed rather sus but Mike hopped in anyways, the guy drove them round the corner into the parking lot of the Pillbox hospital. He offered Mike some weed, Mike declined but instead asked about buying a strap for protection because he had heard a lot about Los Santos. The guy gave Mike his number and said to text him later and he'll sort him one out. Later that day, the transaction was made. 4k cash in return for the Pistol. Mike eased into the life of Los Santos, he had found himself a stable new job working at Go Postal delivering customers parcels. He progressed quickly there moving up the ranks earning a couple pay rises along the way. In no time he had gathered enough cash to purchase himself a basic vehicle a white Blista Compact. Within a few months of working and collecting his pay checks at Go Postal, he then treated himself to an upgraded Ocelot F620. He also bought his first 1G shitty house in what came to be known as "WCA Motel". ⬇ After working at Go Postal for a while he decided to quit. He'd had enough of waking up early, being told what to do and decided he wanted to be his own boss. Mike had come acquainted with numerous people through his short time in Los Santos who were also like minded people. One afternoon Mike planned his first store robbery with one of guys, they waited until it was night, they picked the store on Route 68, went in held the guy up behind the counter. What could have possibly gone wrong? Well half way through emptying the cash register a bunch of what Mike later found out to be Los Zetas pulled up on them had guns pointed at them and took all the cash from them and dipped all within a matter of seconds in their sports car. This was a learning lesson for Mike, he knew he needed so much more, such as a faster vehicle and better weapons. By this point his hermano Frank Reyes had moved to Los Santos after splitting up with his girl, him and Mike got close once again and settled any issues from back home, they met a guy named Tyler Turner and they all become good friends. Helped each other out whenever one needed it and pretty much just lived life together, hittings the bars and clubs on a weekend. At one point the all split their cash and purchased a nice 3G together in Chumash but that was short lived as space was tight and people needed their own space. For months straight Mike went on his grind, working numerous jobs like lumberjacking in the day and transporting cash and servicing the ATM's at night, he was putting in the hours and slowly but surely it was paying off for him as he amassed a decent bit of legitimate wealth which allowed him to purchase new vehicles like a fully maxed out Novak, fully maxed out Massacro and a new luxury apartment. Mike had heard from a couple people that they make their owns drugs at home so he decided to look back into the drug dealing and how to start manufacturing them home for himself. He required a ventilator and some specific drug making tables. He purchased a vent and a couple of tables from a random he met but he knew for the scale he wanted to produce on, 2 tables wasn't enough. Thankfully Mike had a met a connect with Frank at the bank that was now in Los Aztecas named Hugo. Mike shot Hugo a text about buying some tables with Frank, they both went up north to Paleto and purchased a couple tables each. That evening Mike spent hours upon hours installing the ventilator system and setting up the drug tables in the spare room before getting it fully operational. After researching online he learnt the recipe to make Cocaine. Mike decided to choose coke because it was the easiest to make and for the best profit. This was the start of a new routine for Mike, he sweeped the different drug labs up north with Frank daily collecting bags upon bags of marijuana plants aswell as robbing the odd person or two that would be there taking their .50 Pistols, then they would do a trip to Humane labs to purchase the other required ingredients. Mike then would put a batch of Cocaine on the go, head to the pier catch some fish whilst he waited for the batch to be done, he would then head back, weigh it out and bag it up then get another batch on the go. He perfected this routine with zero LEO attention, things were going as smooth as he hoped. Once he had a few hundred grams of coke he would go drop it off the various dealers in the city in exchange for thousands of dollars. Doing this he was making that much money in no time at all he had enough cash to purchase the Hakuchou Drag which enabled him to evade PD with no issue what so ever. Fast forward some months, Mike was still cooking drugs and doing his daily routine, his bank balance kept rising even more. He was financially stable at this point. He also started operating the toll booths on the bridge just before you enter into Paleto to pass time, meeting a bunch of new people as he did so. Although he didn't need the money from the tolls he took it anyways because who would say no to more money? He was making a decent amount per day alongside his Cocaine hustle. Frank had joined Los Aztecas after Hugo recommended him. Hugo also told Mike to text Alicia about joining the familia and give him her number, but out of respect he didn't text her as he didn't want her to be thinking Hugo was just recommending a bunch of people. Mike spoke to Frank daily about what it's like being such apart of such an organized familia. Frank said nothing but good things about Los Aztecas and suggested Mike should try join them. Mike agreed it was time to join something that was well established, family like and not some unorganized mess, he knew his worth and what he had to offer, so he started to spend time on labs planting seeds with Frank and other vatos whenever they weren't busy taking out Murdablock and Dojin-Kai also letting every vato go free through the tolls. After getting caught for chopping a vehicle one time, Mike spent some months inside prison thinking hard about what he actually wanted to do in the city, what his purpose was and he concluded he needed to be apart of something, as doing things alone wasn't fun no more. Upon finishing his sentence and finally getting released Mike straight away thought fuck it and sent a text to Alicia asking about joining the familia. Weeks went by without a response wondering if he'd even hear back, he stayed patient which paid off as eventually one Saturday evening she text Mike telling him to go the HQ in Paleto and to bring water, food, a gun and to be there on time. Although he was chilling with some friends at the time, he responded immediately saying he'll be there. Mike was nervous as he travelled there, he arrived 5 mins early and waited by the main gate. Alicia then shouted from the roof telling him to go up to the roof, little did Mike know what was awaiting... As he approached the rooftop, he was greeted by a bunch of people he wasn't expecting at all, the whole familia was stood there in a neat line. They spent the next half an hour or so asking Mike a variety of questions. He tried his hardest to sell himself to them, hopefully telling them the things they want to hear. The time came, the final decision. Whether the vatos were going to let him become apart of their familia or not. As Mike stood nervously waiting whilst the vatos whispered to Alicia with their personal decision, he was expecting the worst and thinking of the embarrassment if they just straight up said no to him... This wasn't to be the case as Alicia announced that everyone had agreed to give him a chance and thus handed him his mask and vato shirt, he put it on right away with a big smile. Alicia then cut her hand aswell as Mikes and sworn him in with a handshake. They was now family and Mike was apart of Los Aztecas. Mike showed his gratitude, thanked everyone and promised them he wouldn't let them down. Mike adapted and settled in right away to his new life style and his new familia. He was back doing things with his hermano Frank, meeting a whole bunch of new people from other gangs, staying busy you could say. This was exactly what he was looking for, nothing more nothing less. His daily routine at the time consisted of daily conflict with what was known as "Ash's crew", collecting illegal shipments, intercepting opposing gangs shipments and making even more drugs using special materials only accessible by ordering from the laptop. Shit was going smoothly and Mike's bank account was rising with the amount of narcotics he was producing and selling to the dealers back in the city. A month or so went by with normality until one day the vatos were told that they was going to be moving south into the city into the Cypress Flats area, this was a new experience for everyone and rather unexpected, how would they deal with the consent PD attention? Steel just around the corner at any given minute ready to find anything he can to arrest them. The vatos had a few new tasks that were expected of them. They had to take control of areas within the city to please the cartel to be able to continue getting their illegal firearms imports from them. They had to maintain 2 brand new chopshops and sell a bunch of drugs to the local fiends in areas by their new HQ. Mike worked night and day chopping vehicles and selling drugs he cooked or selling on behalf of others even helping his allies at the time Los Santos Triads hit some stores for their money launderers, which in turn he was rewarded for by getting a promotion within the familia becoming a Guerilla. Los Aztecas continued to maintain a strong presence within the city continuously making the cartel happy. Things started to get quiet, there was no conflict. So Mike and all the other vatos used this quiet time to buff their personal stashes, getting imports all day every day with large amounts of ammunition and heavy firearms. Mike built his personal stash up very nicely to say the least gathering himself thousands of bullets and bags upon bags of heavy weaponry all locked inside code protected safe's in his undisclosed stash house all ready for a rainy day. Mike's continued hard work for the familia didn't go unrecognized by high command as the familia held another promotions night, this time back up north in Paleto. Mike once again promoted moving from a Guerilla to a Soldado. Weeks continued to go by when one day there was news that a bunch of Ash's crew had joined Daichaed Gadai (Irish) including Ash himself which didn't sit well with a bunch of the vatos and high command. It was always in the mind of Mike that this newly formed friendship between Daichaed Gadai and Los Santos Triads could prove to be an issue in the near future. Over the following weeks there were little issues arising and tension slowly but surely building up between Los Aztecas, Daichaed Gadai and Los Santos Triads as the latter two groups continued to be in conflict together against GD, LFM and More Blood. There were a couple incidents involving Daichaed Gadai despite their high command being warned if it carried on there would be consequences and well ultimately it was decided by "El J'efe" that Los Aztecas would be hitting them up north and at labs after they decided to not listen to what was said. Everyone was under the impression that Los Santos Triads weren't going to be interfering with this conflict until one day at Del Perro Beach the Los Santos Triads attempted to assist a Daichaed Gadai member escape from them which resulted in a few dead Irish and Triad members and the start of something the rest of city didn't expect to see... Since then the real conflict has only really just begun Los Aztecas, GD, LFM and More Blood vs Daichaed Gadai and Los Santos Triads. Mike is involved everyday defending his familia and allies. He is ready for whatever happens, he would go broke for the people that put trust in him and give him a chance. Whatever happens though it will always be... "Mi Familia Sobre Todos" To be continued...

"Losing His Hermano" It was a normal day for Mike as he got into town after a couple days away on vacation. The sun was shining bright, it was a Thursday afternoon and the weekend near. Mike was off freq so he decided to check his text messages and see if a vato had sent him the latest freq for the radio. Upon checking his texts he didn't see a freq but instead saw a message from his hermano Frank. He opened the text, read the message once, then again trying to make sense of it but he couldn't quite get what Frank meant at all. Mike replied asking what was up and what Frank had meant by what he said but Frank simply said he needed to explain in person and that he wanted Alicia there. Mike started to worry as he made his way up to Paleto on his Drag to meet Frank and Alicia. The message was rather cryptic and didn't give off much but the whole journey he couldn't stop thinking to himself what's he doing? Praying it wasn't what he thought it was gonna be. He arrived early and "Miss Boss" wasn't there yet so eagerly to know what was happening Mike asked Frank what the hell was happening. Frank told him to follow him up the hill away from the road so they wouldn't be interfered with. They drove to the tip of the hill, both turned the engines to their drags off, hopped off and talked underneath the warm Paleto afternoon sun. They started chatting away having a general catch up, normal vato talk you would call it, pretty much updating Mike about what's been happening the past couple days whilst Mike was out of town explaining the current situation in regards to the Triads & Irish. Then out of no where Frank hit Mike with a bombshell. Frank started to explain his reason for asking him to come all the way up North. "You remember that chica back in the UK that I was with? Well it turns out I have a 2 year old son. You're an uncle Mike. It's time for me to step up and provide for him, give him the life he deserves and not the one I found myself in. I can't be going to prison anymore and risk losing my life in conflict. I have to step down and let someone else take my spot. At least for now anyways..." Frank explained. Mike couldn't quite believe it. His hermano was leaving the familia, one of the main reasons he joined Los Aztecas was so he could be close to Frank again after they spent a lot of time away from each other when Frank decided to join. Now they are going their separate ways once again. Mike visually saddened to hear the news started to reminisce all the good times they've had together in Los Aztecas as they both waited for Alicia to arrive. "Miss Boss" arrived not long after and immediately Frank started to explain to her that he's going to be leaving Los Aztecas after hearing from back home that he was a father of a 2 year old son that ever since moving to Los Santos he never even knew of. He explained that he is going to be forever grateful the opportunity he was given to join the familia, thankful for the people he's met through the familia, the simple things that he's going to miss doing with the vatos such as being on labs, cooking up some LSD, Meth and Cocaine and attending the events they hold but at the same time realizing it was time to move on to other ambitions he has in mind such as opening a legitimate business and getting even more paper to send back home. You could hear the sadness in his voice as he spoke, a couple tears where shed but it was all in good spirits. Alicia and Mike understood and respected Frank's decision. Alicia reassured Frank that he will always be apart of the familia and if he ever wanted to come back he would be welcomed with open arms and that any issues he faced we would always be a call or text away with help. Alicia whispered to Mike wondering how he felt about it all. Mike reassured Alicia he would never leave and that he would go broke for the familia if it come down to it. Alicia smiled upon hearing that. They laughed, shared stories about all the good times, talked about the future and all things vato and familia for hours but it was getting late and the sun started to come down. Frank called it and said as much as he would love to stay and talk he has a couple things he needs to do before he heads off to his new chapter in his life. He untied his beloved mask and took off his shirt, handing them to Alicia "make sure someone worthy gets to wear these colours in my absence, you will also NEVER see me in any other colours" he said with sadness, you could hear it in his voice. As Alicia started to fold up the shirt neatly Frank walked over to his Phantom and started pulling out bags and briefcases placing them in the trunk of the Kamacho. "What's in the briefcases and bags vato?" Mike asked as he started curiously opening them and checking out the contents. "Just a few toys, they're better off in your hands now as I won't be needing them anymore, I know yous would put them to use. Share them between you two." Frank responded with. Alicia and Mike told Frank several times to keep them for a time in need, that we have more than enough "toys" and that they can get them anytime we wish due to our excellent relations with all of our connects across the city but Frank was adamant they should just take them or he's throwing them into the sea. They couldn't change his mind no matter how hard they tried so they decided between themselves what they was taking and both decided a couple bags and briefcases each would be fair. After Mike unloaded his couple of bags and stashed them away in his Paleto house he come back outside. Frank shouted up to Mike that he had to shoot off outta town. Mike hurried down the steps ran over to his hermano and shared a special moment, a brotherly hug and said the familia motto together "Mi Familia Sobre Todos" they exchanged a few parting words, most notably that Frank is going to be missed but before he could finish what he wanted to say Mike heard over his radio that LFM needed some help with a shipment incoming at Palmer Taylor and that there was sightings of Irish being there. No hesitation Mike jumped straight on his Drag and was on his way there...

Good luck boss, hope this is here to stay.

+1 again after seeing the recent war be pretty much ended for now as a result of this, imo these things give more excitement to the criminal rp side of things.

+1 Being on the receiving end of this issue as a crim, there's been times where I have waited over 1 hour 30 mins IRL and still no one came. If a PD / SD officer that's on duty see's your name and doesn't like you, just know they aint coming to assist you. But as always PD / SD related it's an "IC Issue". Even though you spend real IRL hours in prison, then even more hours just tryna get your vehicle back there's limits on it being IC in my opinion.
