Copes

The day began with mass production of narcotics. One of The Wanted's specialties in the illegal money making world. However, even the more beautiful days of Los Santos couldn't cure the disturbed, racing mind that Jamaar had now possessed from recent events. This left him demotivated and more dedicated to ingesting the newly made narcotics created rather than producing himself. The Wanted then found themselves convoying to Skeetle Jackson's cul-de-sac, now claimed as Skeetleville. Good vibes all around. The boys in orange spent the night keeping to themselves, planning and having some countryside fun. From there, the night took The Wanted to the Yellow-Jack-Inn. Jamaar had decided to show those still awake a race track that had been one of his first courses taught to him by his OG's many, many months ago. After plenty rounds of both the short loop and sandy shores loop, The Wanted decided that there was no better way to end off the night than to hit the bars and gamble.

Thread looks beautiful. Good luck .

I'll keep it simple. Naw.

Jamaar had been laying low from police. Enjoying scenic spots and taking a breathe of fresh air rather than being clumped up in the usual trap houses and stash houses day by day. Sometimes you have to put money on hold in order to safely spend time with the crew. Without interruptions of course. Shortly after, The Wanted decided to have a racing day. Primarily for Wanted members only. Those who were available grabbed their vehicle of choice and made their way to the designated tracks selected. Twas' a day of adrenaline and high speed fun. Luckily for everyone involved, the police department was nowhere to be seen. As the racing concluded and inevitably many calls made to law enforcement regarding said events. This left a perfectly timed opening to secure the goodies with some business partners.

The week started off eventful with Wanted member Skeetle Jackson's birthday celebration. A beautiful day to kick back and party. Celebration aside, The Wanted resumed their current planning and brainstorming of changes for the future. Both leadership and members alike are constantly working on things behind the scenes for the improvement and development of the crew. What The Wanted hadn't expected was tension rising between themselves and a group they've come to respect and support. That group being Seaweed. After getting locked and loaded while being fully prepared for a fight, the two groups decided to buckle down and meet to discuss the current events. After the emotional confrontation the two concluded that peace and trust was the most appropriate answer. Peace left The Wanted with a singular target in mind. Members were ordered to wrap up the underground racing that was happening in order to rendezvous. A particular group in the city, renown for their despicable robberies of Miners and EMS needed some heat. The Wanted doesn't look for fights, but when its for the protection of the innocent... it's go time. We are not angels. We are not devils.

Welcome brotha. Also came heavily from arma rp. Years of SAMP and now ECRP has shown me that gta rp blows the arma stuff out of the water. Best of luck in your RP endeavors.

+1. The RP that can be done with a feature like this is far better than slamming into vehicles.

+1. Definitely need some more variety.

A heavy set of recruits who showed potential had flowed into The Wanted. The group that had once started off as a few friends was surely making a name around the city. A good name at that. Today marked round two of The Wanted's "Car shows". Perfect timing for the fresh recruits to party and show off their vehicles. The meets had gained traction, a far bigger turn out than the last. Big ups to the city of Los Santos for all the love. Law enforcement was persistent this time around, monitoring the meet in its entirety. Although, they were good sports about it. This time around was going to be different. Those who stuck around were given a location for the street racing that inevitably was going to commence. Unlike the last, these unlawful races consisted of gambling with the idea of pink slip racing thrown into the mix.

The start of many publicly accessible car meets and races hosted by The Wanted. When authorities disperse, the real fun begins.

The increasing amount of police interest in The Wanted had become alarming. It was time to fight back and send a message. A new, freshly debriefed recruit was apprehended by police leading to a coordinated interception. It does not matter who you are. This is what a family does.

Upon returning to neutrality, The Wanted was now granted the ability to induct business operations once again. The atmosphere had changed. The air that was once overpowered by the smell of gunpowder and bloodshed had settled, leaving only a cool summer breeze with idyllic vibes. Shortly after, Natalie Nightwood a former street queen had returned from her Los Santos hiatus and was filled in on the immense growth and changes that had transpired since her departure. A handful of members who were available grouped up at what is now known as O'block to introduce themselves to the returned OG Wanted member. A brief meeting with an Irish leader took place to discuss information brought our way. After a long day of work its best to unwind and throw back some brews in luxury.

Something definitely needs to be implemented so that gang wars go more smoothly. Rather than fighting IC it always ends up turning into an OOC forum report battle.

Decisions to be made

The Wanted and The Los Santos Irish Mob had been working together as friendlies for quite some time. Helping each other succeed and become stronger along the way. Friendships began forming among members and the idea of combined forces seemed like an inevitable conclusion to this comradery. The meeting was set and a conclusion was declared. The idea that these two groups who once opposed each other were now on the best possible terms sparked a feeling of euphoria among both parties. Shortly after, troubles among The Los Santos Irish Mob and another renown group had popped off. A classified meeting was held and the scenario was described to all parties. Jamaar Bovarium expressed his concerns regarding the possible consequences of this feud and was met with nothing but optimism from all leaders and members alike. As a showing of loyalty and to uphold accountability of the opposing party, The Wanted obliged. The boys in orange were soon debriefed and given the option to back out and never return before being set up with a uniform in preparation for an almost guaranteed War. Everyone was on the same page and had no plans on walking in spite of fear. Meeting with additional forces. The Wanted are prepared to take wins, losses or anything in-between. It will be brutal without a doubt. Despite the impending casualties from both sides of the coin, The Wanted will never fold as an organization. They are a family and are prepared to be buried as family.

The future of The Wanted was looking bright. The Wanted lived in peace and harmony among their community of racers, crooks and hard criminals, thriving to their full potential. A team of money-making machines living without the harsh feeling of having their lives ended or harmed creeping down their deep subconscious minds. Twas' all fun and games until the inevitable happened. When you succeed, there's always going to be people that try and bring you down. "Appreciate what you have, before it's gone". Bayview Auto Center Hits were attempted by a specific organization. The Wanted, confused as the attacks were clearly attempted by a group, engaged in a discussion regarding the events. The plan was to not escalate. That was until a crucial text was received from a certain gang in which The Wanted had good relations with, needing help. The Wanted soon learned that the specific organization that had tried hitting them was doing the same to others. The situation was quickly eradicated by our force. Jamaar Bovarium, The Wanted's captain attempted to reason and work something out with the subdued foes only to be met with racial slurs and hatred. They were promptly put to rest. Mountain Lab (Trash Quality) Following this incident, a brief discussion took place between Jamaar and a member of the friendly gang that was no longer troubled. Jamaar left the scene and visited his fallen, but recovering friend from the conflict less than an hour prior. He looked into his friend's eyes, riddled with pain and promptly made some calls. The Wanted is peace-driven. A group that takes pride in being able to roam the streets while having the luxury to cross paths and share a smile with alike-but-different gangs with separate goals and aspirations. "If you want to lift yourself up, lift someone else" -Booker T. Washington. The way of life they were used to living was most certainly at stake now. Jamaar instructed his men and women to be weary, always be prepared and to expect the unexpected. The Wanted, fueled with the urge to make a statement were heavily armed and ready. Here Jamaar sits. Allowing himself to garner some peace away from the bloodshed. "War.." Jamaar said to himself, reminiscing of the old but not forgotten Vice war in which he was nothing but a pawn in. Flashbacks of firing upon both friends and foes. Primarily people which he respected, looked up to and saw as companions. The haunting scare of losing the only people he had left crept up his spine in the same way it did back then... After a couple hours of a racing mind and a gram of coke he snapped back to his senses. Life comes full circle and all he must do is fight, communicate and work to restore The Wanted's way of life to which it came from. No choice then. No choice now. The Wanted soon gained comfort, at ease with the circumstances and returned to raking in the dough. A mistake was made from The Wanted and one witness led to a police operation with the purpose of serving them justice. Following a murder in broad daylight, the means in which The Wanted communicated were soon compromised by the authorities leading to an excessive, unpredictable take down of the operation occurring at the time. Some escaped, but some were met with serious jail time. Making the best of a bad situation, those who were incarcerated indulged in great lengths of physical training and planning regarding how to precisely come back from such a setback. https://streamable.com/qquq3 Life is full of obstacles. The Wanted family will continue to overcome. The war continued. Bodies dropping from both sides. Both forces took a step back and discussed the current events, analyzing pros and cons before an official ceasefire was declared. Peace was restored.. for now.

IC interactions aside. Good job on the thread boys. Looks great. The /me, /do context for images is a nice touch.

Interesting idea. This is something completely different from other factions. Best of luck man

Following a series of recruitment's, the question regarding loyalty and dedication was brought up among The Wanted. Official members who had been representing the group competently suggested an idea that would not only represent lifelong commitment, but strength and courage overall. The Wanted Meeting Location Location: Vinewood Hills, North of Observatory Status: The First Official Wanted Branding Session It was a chilly night. The atmosphere emitted a feeling of apprehension and timid behavior. Today was the day. Despite the negative energy towards what was about to commence, these people made this decision and were eager to prove themselves. Jamaar Bovarium stepped up to the plate first to break the ice. Carter Blackwood began heating up the branding iron and sank the red hot WANTED symbol to his friend's right hip. After a series of groans and pitiful facial expressions, it was over. The Calm Before the Storm. Accompanied by Los Calaveras Member Sahand. Next up was Jed "Owl" Bundy. A redneck Owl who appears cute and cuddly but won't hesitate to bust the strap out. He is someone who has contributed greatly and shown vast dedication prior but felt the ambition to go further. He was the first to demonstrate what it took to endure a knife carving of our group's name into his chest. It was a long, painful process. He maintained his composure afterwards and felt triumphant, thus, making him Wanted for life. Brand Type: Knife Carving Symptoms: Hallucinations, Mild Blood Loss Conor McDonald. A fresh scottish recruit who shows pride in representing us was eager to prove himself in his short period of time with The Wanted nonetheless. Similar to Owl, Conor went above and beyond by sitting through the excruciating pain of the blade. However, he was prepared and had drank heavily prior. Brand Type: Knife Carving Symptoms: Loss of Consciousness, Severe Blood Loss Ricky Soares. Formerly recognized as leader of the Lusitan Riders. Upon merging forces with The Wanted, our previous brotherhood and comradery led him to take on the challenge of being branded for life. Ricky showed how tough as nails he really was that day and was close to not even flinching before the hot press was removed from his chest. Brand Type: Branding Iron Symptoms: N/A Dirk Stinler. A man who was once fresh to the city but mentored and raised by The Wanted. Orange is all he ever knew in Los Santos and was fully on-board with the idea. He felt obligated to abide by the blade and as a result, he received a carving of WANTED on his side. Brand Type: Knife Carving Symptoms: Panic Attack, Mild Blood Loss Alan "Acid" Stream. A walking acid trip. Introduced to Wanted leadership via prison, Alan has become a prominent figure and is known for his vintage pumpkin head. He's put in plenty of time helping The Wanted thrive and decided it was best to prove his dedication further by receiving a red hot WANTED brand on the upper abdomen. Brand Type: Branding Iron Symptoms: Swelling Murph "The Mullet" Cooper. A member of who The Wanted has deemed, "The Redneck Squad". Murph was recruited alongside Jed and shows the same level of passion to see us become bigger and better. Murph stood by his word and received a body brand on his upper back. Brand Type: Branding Iron Symptoms: Infection MaryJane "MJ" Baker. Tired of the drama surrounding the switching of gangs, she decided to double down and make a statement of allegiance to The Wanted. The branding iron sank into her right hip, and before she knew it, it was complete, showing true dedication and strength. Brand Type: Branding Iron Symptoms: N/A Carter Blackwood finished off this faithful day with a demonstration of mind over matter. Looking straight into the eyes of his comrades as he plunged the branding iron onto his own chest without the help of any others. Showing strength and courage among no other. Those who were around to participate in this session left feeling proud of the triumphant perseverance. The Wanted isn't just a gang, it's a family.

I'll put it like this. For you guys the idea of getting into prison and earning respect by beating the fuck out of the biggest guy seemed enticing and could earn you respect, but there's the possibility of you yourself getting your ass beat. Don't ask for handouts and change because you made a poor decision you weren't prepared for. You need to get a grasp of how things operate when it comes to Los Santos gangs and that's a reoccurring problem with upcoming factions. And as for the complaints regarding alliances. These primary gangs worked incredibly hard to establish this, don't ask for a shortcut. "Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." – Andrew Carnegie
