  1. Chapter A

    Carla met up with Alicia at [REDACTED LOCATION] to discuss some future business ventures for the Aztecas.

    Inside the location was three pounds of Marijuana that Carla had been growing called Northern Lights. Alicia reached up to the drying buds to admire the aroma, Carla began describing her idea for [REDACTED] with Alicia.

    They shared ideas before hearing the turning locks of the front door.

    In walked Yuki Brasco to [REDACTED], Yuki turned the corner to the main room her face lit up as she grinned. Carla caught Yuki up on the conversation she'd had with Alicia and the plan was set in motion. Alicia grabbed three glasses and a bottle of whiskey from the cupboard, pouring a hefty glass each for the Vatas.

    "Mi familia sobre todos always."

    Carla, Yuki and Alicia all hopped into the chino custom and made their way to [REDACTED] to meet up with the other Aztecas and their lowriders. Vato FM was blasting at [REDACTED] as each vato showed off their hydraulics.

    After a small photoshoot with our lowriders the Vatos made their way to [REDACTED] for a business meeting.

    While Ricky and Alicia met with [REDACTED] the rest of the Vatos and Vatas could hear sirens collecting outside of [REDACTED].

    The Aztecas turned to see several armed officers and armored vehicles at the entrance of [REDACTED].

    Drug Production Skill Level
    TLDR version: Adding a 'skill level' to drug production, rewarding the player for putting time into a task, by lowering drug creation time and being able to make a higher grade of narcotic.

    Really like this idea, could also potentially have a picklocking skill ingame that goes away upon death.

  3. Prologue

    dKFvmpj.png

    Carla arrived at church with her Chino Custom and after some quick introductions she was asked to hop into Carlos' kamacho with the other trials. After driving to Paleto clothing Carla slipped on the grey Azteca flannel and the trademark blue skull mask for the first time.

    The Aztecas regrouped at Church and Carla gleamed with joy as her close friends welcomed her into their group. Lowriders packed out the church parking lot as the gang loaded up and prepared for their tour, the Aztecas drove from Paleto Bay to Los Santos taking a lap of the city to clearly assert their presence.

    The bodies of fallen enemies scattered Los Santos and as the their blood seeped into the earth our brave Aztecas grew ever closer. From battlefields to bank heists the Aztecas worked as a well-oiled machine while they created bonds to last a life-time.

    Carla had decided to go off the radar as harassment from the Los Santos Police Department had forced her to leave Los Santos for some time. Upon her return she visited of the Department of Corrections many times to uncover potential smuggling routes to her incarcerated allies.

    A few years back when the Mirror Park Tavern changed ownership, Jay Gamble & Jon Purminelli
    had plans to start opening
    the Tavern more regularly than the prior ownership did. They were looking
    for some people to work the bar and DJ. I was pretty sure they already had some people in mind to hire,
    but I wanted to work at the Tavern with them. At the time I was spending a lot of time hunting up north.
    I had gained a lot of experience hunting which made me pretty efficient at getting fresh produce.
    This gave me the confidence to pitch the idea of serving some food that was not served at most bars or clubs.
    Jay & Purm were curious when they saw my menu because it was not focused on burgers, tacos & hotdogs.
    Instead it had chicken wings, steak, pork and beef ribs So I decided to have a cookout
    to showcase the entire menu to them.Once they tasted the food, they hired me.


    IfCTwO1.png

    My first day at the Tavern I was pleased to find out that most of the people working
    there I was already friends with. Wolfgang was running the bar, Zillian was the DJ, Flint
    was in charge of all the girls, and Skinny was planning out events. But before we could open we
    had to
    thoroughly clean up the entire place. After we all worked together to clean up the place,
    Wolfgang and I stayed for a bit to figure out how to work efficiently behind the bar together.
    Between the alcohol and food we were definitely going to have to work together the best we could
    with the space we were given. We were there till midnight but we came up with a decent system to go with. 
    A few days later we had to meet up at the Tavern to go pick up our alcohol shipment. Jay & Purm had

    a mule & a rumpo ready to-go, they introduced us to our security team, the Men in Blue,  then most of us
    hopped in the vehicles to go pick up our order from the store behind bank. Once we loaded up the truck
    and the van we headed back to unload the alcohol. We each took a box, then I followed them
    into the Tavern and to my surprise they showed me the kitchen Purm had built for me to work in.
    It had a huge stove & grill, multiple refrigerators, plenty of counters to cut and prep plates on.
    It even had a little window for me to serve my food to the customers. That was the best part.
    Customers would get to order and watch me prepare their food, then I would get to see their
    reaction to the food. It was a really fun & interactive workspace. The first night we opened up the place
    was packed, Wolfgang and I served so many people, Purm helped Wolfgang serve drinks when the bar
    got real busy. I had a little trouble with the new stove & Jay helped me figure it out real fast.
    Which thank god he did because so many of our friends showed up to support us. I’ll never
    forget the order of pork chop & barbecue pork ribs I made for Thrax & Alice.
    Or Jimmy Mayweather’s endless desire for double cheeseburgers. I found my love
    for cooking in that little kitchen in the Tavern, which inspired me to create the Sandbar.

    First thing I did when I bought the property was call Jon Purminelli. He showed the same support and optimism
    that he did when we worked at the Tavern. Him and I spent weeks working out what type of restaurant we wanted.
    What food to serve, how to make the business work, who to hire, how to make the place look. Purm went home one
    night after we had been brainstorming all day and the next day he showed me the blueprints he made up when he
    got home the night before. It was exactly what I wanted. Day by day we went back and forth to the furniture store
    picking up tons of materials and furniture. In just a week we went from a empty space, into a fully functional restaurant.

    Purm had done such a great job building the restaurant. Once we finished moving all the big stuff he was
    constantly adding a little bit here and a little bit there. So while he did that, I wanted to figure out how
    we were going to supply the restaurant with the things we would need in bulk regularly. I did not have to
    look far
    because our long time friends Jason Malgotti & Kelly Gamble managed their own stores and were

    more than happy to be our suppliers. They supply us with all the things necessary to run a restaurant.
    Plus enough alcohol to give all of Los Santos a good buzz.

    When it comes to our beef, chicken, and pork it all comes from the avid hunters of the north.
    I scouted for hunters for a while before finally coming across a few new contacts, among them
    was a man named Frank Reyes. Frank is very talented in tracking and supplying us with quality meats.
    He is capable of meeting our demand in just a few days notice. Above that Frank is very pleasant
    to work with and we are lucky to have him working with us.
    7Sk7eY4.png

    We get all of our naturally grown wheat, flour, eggs, and most of
    our vegetables from the farmers up north at Paul’s Farm. 

    This order was harvested, packaged, and delivered right to the store by farmer Josh Kay.

    uZ9Cq5m.jpg

    Here at the Sandbar we understand the simple fact that the key to making good food is fresh ingredients.
    We are so happy to have all of the people that help us share food with each other at the Sandbar!


     

    excited to bartend again! love to see the thread looking clean good job Larry

    One thing La Familia Michoacana do not appreciate is gangs in the city trying to impact our ability to make money through influencing turfs.

    A message was sent out last time the disrespect was shown by The Four Season Order, taking Mega Mall, not only was it taken back the same day, a generous deal was offered to them moving forward, feel free to supply who you want but drop out of any sort of conflict with us.

    Sibcyxa.png

    FSO swiftly declined the offer that was presented to them, and since then Taylor Garcia and his Familia have been set on ensuring they keep their turfs and took Southern Little Seoul, located just next to Noodle House as an act of retaliation, holding it for over a week.

    9gPDMOx.png

    It's been made evident that this has been an attack on all fronts with La Nostra Famiglia going straight for our Core territory with City Scrap, when reaching out to their cop-calling leader, he ensured us that this is something that he would be going out of his way to do.

    Now, not only have we not had any prior interactions with them, but we've heard about their antics of trying to hold down labs without any weapons on multiple occasions.

    Jace's complete disregard for his gang would result in us setting up at City Scrap, ensuring there wasn't a single car being chopped at our turf, catching them lacking four times.

    AdBty9d.png

    We never lost City Scrap, but their inability to understand their mistakes will be LNF's demise if they continue to try and attack our turfs, as it's currently going, it seems their leader will be setting up a new HQ at Central MD.

    With The Irish also able to take turfs, it was obvious they were making it their objective to try and take Chiliad, but Taylor was just glad to see them in colours and out of hiding once again, it had been a while after all.

    oZHQyGB.png

    Lastly, TRCC's fault was attacking most gangs in the city at the same time, thus resulting in allies who would love to join the fight against them.

    MKBknlH.png

    Taylor has been trying his best to ensure everyone have what they need and play their part, bringing in shipments for labs he has helped build around the city and hitting banks to maintain the money launderers.

    MJHNHhp.png

    173BmIf.png

    With so much going on, it was hard for personal reflection, but Taylor had become an El Capitano, high command of the family he was as excited to once become a recruit for.

    wgWJpRw.png

    There have been alot of things that have turned Taylor much colder since he first started out in the city, but these have all made him think about the circumstances much more, those that know him know there isn't much he wouldn't do for his family.

    With our allies, La Familia, will defend this attack on all fronts.

    Love to see it, keep up the good work homies

  6. I suggest to bring back aspects of 2019 drug labs. I am specifically referring to the old timers of creating marijuana items, and static drug materials being in labs. Personally I think that reducing the amount of materials inside the lab is a reasonable way to encourage players to do large group cooks and solo cooks inside interiors.

    Pros:

    - Creating more RP between criminal groups

    - Allowing for more INTERACTION between players and large factions

    - Players have another option instead of sitting inside an interior all day.

    - Giving players to opportunity to meet new allies/enemies inside static drug labs

    Cons:

    - Players using alts/breaching NLR to call PD/SD to a drug lab

    - LEO members metagaming the location of static drug labs

    Please give CONSTRUCTIVE input.

    ---

    This marijuana update suggestion would add more for players to do in game so please take a look/comment if you are able.

    Also, the statement "90% of crims just want to shoot" is false, anybody who as actively been a criminal over the past 6 months should be able to see there is less of the "shooter mindset" now than ever. If anything this statement just fuels the toxic mindset displayed by a small portion of the community.

    Because there is supposed to be some semblance of realism in the server. I can't see a Crip running around South Central with a Blood's liver in his bag, can you?

    Organs when they are severed from the blood supply have to kept on ice to avoid too much lasting damage. No one is going to want a pair of lungs that have been in someone's bag for 45 minutes.

    It was a foolish idea to begin with, I'm glad it's gone and I hope it stays out of the server.

    It's a role-play server, why are you so opposed to people role-playing in this manner? I personally see no issue if somebody wants to do a darker form of RP by collecting/selling human meat/organs.

  8. The removal of human meat further restricts forms of role-play for criminals.

    Why can't somebody role-play gathering human meat/organs and selling it off to a black market dealer? I think if "human meat" should be added back it needs to be done differently, a black market NPC could be used as a neutral location for people to role-play selling off organs they may have collected from their fallen enemies.

    Mirror Park Tavern was one of the best establishments in Los Santos and it was also the first place Carla ever met her family, the Los Zetas. During the time Carla was a Zeta the tavern was hosted many times by different people, including her fellow Gangster Disciples, Ricky Brasco and Dray Wrzosek. The Tavern was also the last place the Los Zetas were called to meet and where our disbanding was announced. However, despite their disbanding the influence of the Los Zetas would not fade away in Los Santos. The Los Zetas forever changed Los Santos and their legacy remained unmatched. Seeing that tensions continued to rise in Los Santos, from gang conflict to harassment at the hands of the Los Santos Police Department. Carla thought to herself about the business opportunities she could create for her fellow Gangster Disciples and one in particular came to mind, Mirror Park Tavern. 
    2.png

    Mirror Park Tavern was loved by many and was a staple of the city’s nightlife. The Tavern was a place of business anybody could attend, it was respected by both the criminals and the civilians of Los Santos. Carla took it upon herself to organize a party at the Mirror Park Tavern and started to move pieces into place for a party. Carla’s first step was to acquire a sponsor, she reached out to James Eriksen about a Motorsport sponsored costume contest and a small loan of $200,000. After talking with Kelly Gamble about alcohol and use of the Mirror Park Tavern Carla began to find employees. Carla used the tavern as a way to employ her fellow Gangster Disciples. After reaching out to multiple GD members Carla was able to secure Ray Wrzosek for the bar as well as Dom Rogers and Cheapo for the door. After the staff and patrons were arranged Carla contacted James Eriksen to secure the prize car for the contest. Using the loan to pay for alcohol and advertising she was able to spread the word and get plans in motion for the Tavern.

    The day of the party had arrived and it was time to open the Tavern’s doors. The line for entry went snaked across the side walk as cars continued to park nearby. Carla had spent a week going around Los Santos spreading the word about the Tavern’s party, not only would her hard work pay off but the Tavern would once again be a place filled with people and music. Costumes ranged from having several Ricky Brascos to undead race car drivers. Costume contestants piled in as the judges were seated in the VIP section. Carla chose five unbiased people Vince Williams, Tyrone Shakur, Alicia Rodriguez, Jay Bacon and Kelly Gamble to be judges for the costume contest.

    The turnout was greater than expected and Carla was thrilled to see the Tavern once again filled with people. Despite certain Los Santos Police Department detective's efforts to get her shut down Carla was able to run a near flawless night for the citizens of Los Santos.

    I had just arrived at Los Santos with my parents after moving out of Mexico. Mexico was my hometown, the food and the people were great. However, crime was a huge thing in Mexico especially in the neighborhood that I was in. My parents thought it would be best if we moved out, to try and find a better life away from the crime. After moving to Los Santos my parents moved into a small ranch up north. They were getting older and didn't really care what I had to do to make a living. As long as I was okay they were okay. So I went to my older brother who was actually living in the city of Los Santos. My older brother had lived in the city for a while so I stayed at his place for most of the time until I could figure things out and get my life together. During the time I stayed with him, he taught me everything about the city, who to hang with and who not to hang with. He worked as a mechanic and was a good role model, but I never really got to see him much so I did my own thing while he was at work. I worked a ton of jobs like farming, go postal, and even mining to get myself a decent amount of cash flowing in. I met a lot of people along the way to start off some of my jobs. After I got a sufficient amount of cash I bought my self my first bike which was a Daemon. I enjoyed doing all the jobs but I was left with little to no money afterwards and I knew I had to figure out a better and faster way to make money so I looked to the streets for it.

    sEezMNA.png

     One day during the winter late at night I walked out of the bank to my bike after taking out some money. I noticed a lot of blue cars and people dressed in blue. I noticed quickly that they were a gang, thanks to my brother's knowledge. They were called Los Zetas from what my brother told me. I entered the Z-Store and bought a drink and some food and ate it right outside the store. There were tons of people in blue all conversing. I noticed one person in blue who was sitting down by the fruit stand and I told him with confidence that I wanted to join Los Zetas. I later realized that the man I spoke to would be a friend forever.  Skinny was his name or at least that's what everyone called him. Skinny gave me a recruiters number and I saved it on my phone. The recruiters name I saved on my phone was called Toby Everett a great friend and an awesome recruiter. Before I talked to Toby though I had to talk to Benjamin Specht who was also a recruiter, he would ask me many questions that I had to answer honestly. I was nervous at first not knowing what he was going to ask me but after we were done talking he hung out with me and asked me If I wanted to go and check labs with him.  I hopped in Benjamin's car and we started off the day, robbing people, escaping cops, and getting into shootouts. I started off most of my days with either Benjamin or Toby teaching me everything I needed to know when it came to the streets, drug labs, and chop shops. At that point my pre-prospect phase had begun.  903lqOC.png  4qmsF83.png

    sEezMNA.png

    Most of the time if Ben or Toby were asleep, I would spend my time hanging out with Skinny. Skinny always taught me how to do things right. Skinny invited me one night to work at the bar during an event at the Tavern while I was still a pre-prospect and it was a great moment for me. I got to meet a lot of people within the gang. I talked to Skinny a lot that day, he hooked me up with money after the event at the Tavern was over. I respected Skinny a lot. I didn't have a car at the time so I was mainly in his car when it came to anything like going to shootouts, drug labs, even chases. One day early in the morning I went down to the Z-Store and met up with Skinny. He asked me what kind of vehicle I had. I told him I had a bike which was currently the Daemon. He then told me to hop in his car and we went to Bayview and he handed me the papers to a Gargoyle. I was really excited because this meant that I could keep up in chases, and get to shootouts, and back up calls quicker then ever before. I was happy and thanked him a ton. Shortly after he handed me the gargoyle I met up with Toby. Toby told me to get in his car and took me down to the clothing store, and said to put some blue on. I was welcomed into the gang that day and I was the happiest person alive. The day just kept getting better and better. After learning the ropes and familiarizing my self around the city I began to make even more money through drug labs and chopping cars. I bought my self an apartment and moved out of my brother's place. He was happy for me but at the same time worried about what I was getting myself into. I told him I would be okay, and he took my word for it. My parents had no idea what I was up to. I told them I was still a miner over the phone and they believed me. With that being said I continued on my life and my family continued on there life. During my time in Los Zetas I quickly developed a few skills on chases like my cardinal directions for instance. I went to multiple callout trainings to enhance those skills. Practice makes perfect my brother used to tell me. I remembered that sentence most of my time within Los Zetas. I started to really get used to my Gargoyle. I was hitting high speeds on the highway that I thought I could never hit. Being on the Gargoyle gave me confidence during chases. Yes the Gargoyle may not be the best bike when it came to driving around in the city, but I can assure you no one was getting away from me on the highway while I was on my Gargoyle.

    As my time continued as a Zeta I had made many friendships. It was great knowing the people around you had your back. After getting to know numerous amounts of people amongst allies we hung out and took over labs making tons of money each day. The more money we made the more bigger the cut. It was great and very addicting. All that hard work actually payed off in the end though. We were able to buy whatever we wanted. Getting a huge cut brought a smile to everyone's faces. To keep that up we would do it continuously day after day with a couple groups of Zetas holding down labs and making drugs and helping each other out if needed. It was my first real family, and I was proud to be apart of it. Everything we did was done together with Jay Gamble our leader, and the rest of high command leading the way.

    As time continued we had to take care of business. A war was announced between the Council which was us against The West Coast Assassins which we fought for about a couple of weeks or so. With the Council being as strong a unit as ever it was quite obvious that we were going to be victorious. I was ready to do whatever it took to fight for my people. I bought many guns and ammunition in preparation for the war. Most of the time we would hold down Grove Street where The West Coast Assassins mainly hung out. However there were little to no encounters during the late afternoons. To counter that we decided to wake up early in the mornings to fight The West Coast Assassins in which led to our victory as time went on. 

    5qAEjuq.png

    sEezMNA.png

    After the war and everything settling down I woke up one morning and received a message saying that Los Zetas has disbanded. After hearing that it was like a piece of me was gone. Even with hearing that I respected there decision and said my goodbyes which was very hard to do. Los Zetas will always be in my heart. If it weren't for Los Zetas I wouldn't have gotten as far in the city, nor would I have learned so many things. This was my first gang I've ever been apart of and they showed me how to be confident, smart, and brave. I picked up a lot of things within my time of being a Zeta, and it's something that I could never forget about. I didn't know exactly what to do at that point when I heard about Los Zetas disbanding. I kept thinking about it day after day. I really couldn't even believe it was happening and I read the message over and over again. From that day on I knew I had to get myself together. That's what I kept telling my self to get my self together. The thing is I didn't really know which direction I was headed toward. Most of the people I knew went into other gangs and I fully respected that. I just wanted to do my own thing for a while. So I decided to stay on frequencies and help out with any shootouts, chases, and anything that could keep my mind busy.

    Weeks had gone by and I ran into one of my friend's Sully Adams during a chase that day. Sully was once a Zeta as well, but he was now an Azteca. I told him I was unsure of what I wanted to do and he told me that I should join Los Aztecas. They were recruiting at the time so I figured it would be a good idea to get back into criminal activities. I told Sully that I was interested and he gave me Alicia Rodriguez's number a higher up in Los Aztecas. I sent her a text telling her that I would be interested in joining. Alicia called me over and wanted me at there HQ in paleto and I went over there. Alicia and I talked and she had me hang around and by the next day I was in Los Aztecas. That very next day I was told to introduce myself and get used to the HQ that we had. I put on the vato shirt and mask and it felt good to be apart of a new family. I got to meet everyone and every single person there was very nice, and it felt like family. I have a lot of respect towards Los Aztecas most of them are Hispanic as well so it felt like home right away.

    sEezMNA.png

    A couple of weeks into Los Aztecas I started to get more comfortable. I helped out with drops, chases, and shootouts. I felt like I found my self again, or at least that's what I thought. The people in Los Aztecas are amazing and I was able to call them family and they always will be family. Los Aztecas have a special place in my heart. When there was a problem we talked about it and figuered it out. Being an Azteca was an honor. However I still felt lost. One day I was walking home and I received a call that Dray Wrzosek an Ex-Zeta who was now in Gangster Disciples wanted to talk to me. So we talked and we caught up with each other. Dray offered me a spot in GD, which would mean that I would mainly be back with most of the Ex-Zetas. I told him I would think about it. I thought about it all night and I gave him my answer in the morning. I talked to Alicia that morning and I told her how I was feeling and that I talked to Dray about joining GD and that I should probably leave and try to find my self once again. She understood I was going through a tough time, and she respected that. Alicia gave me a hug that day and wished me the best of luck, and told me that she would save my vato shirt and mask. I smiled back at her. I was sad about it but I knew what I was doing had to be done. I left that day in Dray's car.

    As I left with Dray that morning Dray took me to a clothing store and I got into my GD pants. I was welcomed by him, Ricky, Reece and Oti that day. I was excited to see my guys as its been so long since the Zetas disbanded. It was going to be a fresh start but I was willing to do whatever it took. Ricky talked to me that day along with Oti and asked me if I was ready for whatever was to come. I told him that I am ready and that I will be putting in the work day in and day out. Most of the members consisted of the high command in Los Zetas. Which also meant that most of them knew how to prepare for any situation because of the leadership they had. Gangster Disciples were in great hands. Not only was I excited to see my friends that I haven't seen in a while I was also excited to start a new chapter of my life in GD. With that being said this was only the start of something amazing, and I could feel it.
