This is simple yet awesome idea and will add to the media economy and system. Now aside from Weasel News and a few other outlets we have the " Los Santos Magazine "!. Really hope to see all sorts of sections, news, entertainment, music and business etc. This has potential for a lot of cool informative and cool releases!. Definitely going to keep an eye on the Classifieds section more often now.

Would love to see more regular content on this, also would be really cool to have like a " Live PD " style knockoff mini video patrol series. Record some stops and chases, shootouts and various other highlights. Either way always love to check in on this thread!.

......I figured it would go without saying that CK's would not apply to law enforcement factions. Lol Who said anything about PG?. If you joined a faction and OOC'ly agreed to this potentially happening what is wrong with that?. And what about when both parties agree?. Is it Power Gaming when it's mutual and agreed to?. I don't understand that. And also there IS something stopping me from RP'ing a CK on a gang member. It's legit in the rules. The only form of CK that is allowed is suicide. Meaning I could not even roleplay performing a CK even if myself and the to be CK'ed party mutually agree to it. It's against the server rules. You would legit have to force someone to commit suicide for the CK to be valid with the current rules lol. Lmao, I have been RP'ing since 2008 on SAMP. Trust me, I have been on servers with 500-800 players online at a time. Appreciate it if you didn't be so presumptuous and condescending when replying to me. I'm not new to Role Play on the GTA series by any means. Tis' the beauty of both this forum and server as well as my beloved USA Here is how I know CK rules work on most servers..I don't see how this is extreme. Or.. Regarding the NLR idea here I actually do like it now that I read over it. All that would need to be implemented would be " RK " or Revenge Kill rules, as mentioned already by OP. I really like this NLR change idea, and it could really help improve the roleplay in life or death scenarios greatly.

So because the CK is not your choice it's not ok?. In my opinion when you join a faction you are putting your future and your life in their hands. The higher ranks and bosses have control, you don't anymore. Unless you are a high ranking member of course or something. I don't see anything wrong with an official faction having the ability to CK their prospective members. Like for example The Marcello Family, say an associate is breaking mafia code and disrespecting the boss. What is wrong with that being a plausible situation for CK?. To be honest I have never seen a server where the ONLY CK was suicide. The fact that parties cannot even personally agree to CK is also rather odd. If someone in a faction wants to perform a CK on a member, and that member OOC'ly agrees to it..-..who are we to intervene in what THEY want their roleplay to be. Once again , I'm not saying every player has the power to authorize an attempted CK. This would only apply to like the top 1-2 ranks of OFFICIAL and possibly Unofficial factions. This is not a situation of every robbery ending in CK. What I'm referring to and talking about are specific situations within a group of people who are roleplaying. So what happens if a faction member straight up betrays your group and gives away your radio freq, and PK's your highest ranking member in his house and loots your stash for everything. You just go what " Your out of the gang " ?, lmao. In the context of Organized Crime, and the Factions themselves I don't see anything wrong with CK'ing if both parties agree to it. That's where I stand on that. Also when you get CK'ed it's not like you lose your XP and everything along with it. You legit just change your name and appearance with plastic surgery and create a new story and begin your journey with said new character. It's not the end of the world. And one more time for reiteration. I am ONLY talking about CK's that are agreed to by both parties while in a Official/Unofficial faction.

No comment on New Life Rule, however the fact that not even Official Factions have the option to CK joined characters and members is kinda nuts. That should be included in some sort of agreement when you join any official or unofficial faction. You can be CK'ed by that faction. The fact that suicide is the only CK method is kind of limiting and really restricts possible roleplay possibilities for peoples characters to come to an end. I remember years ago in SAMP on a very heavy RP server I was a Prospect with the " White Knights MC ", and there was six other prospects. By the time two months went by four of the six Prospects were CK'ed. Some due to violating IC rules and selling drugs/guns to hang arounds, some for bringing too much police attention, some for drunkenly mouthing off to the Sgt. At Arms. Long story short, Character Killing (CK's) should be a contractual possible checkmark when you join a Faction.

It was in SAMP, so logically makes sense to come here. I like the idea.

People here simply don't care. It's all about the pew pew and bang bang. Not the roleplay. Not completely true, but for the most part. It's just how it is. Even if you cannot do the handsup animation fast enough, or simply take a few seconds to understand a command people will just kill you. To them it's easier to hit I and loot your wounded body instead of roleplaying a frisk and keeping you alive. I understand your frustration however, I have not even been able to complete RP at multiple areas because of repetitive low quality RP robberies. It's just part of the game sadly. And in this community armed robbery is about 75% of all criminal activity aside from chopping vehicles and having meetings with other gangs to decide who to ally/enemy/rob next. Lmao, it's a vicious , stupid cycle and I think only characters of limited roleplay skill resort to robberies all the time. I wish things were different, but sadly this is the way it is. And now you need 3-5 armed guards minimum to even farm, make a bag of marijuana, or even do other remedial tasks and other RP.

Welcome to Eclipse, where 3/4ths of the criminal roleplay consists of robberies and muggings. You must be new here. Anywhere outside of a NCZ you will be targeted and robbed. Many times, almost systematically. Anyone who uses drug processing knows this too. You cannot roleplay or do ANYTHING there for more than 5-10 minutes without a stick up crew coming to rob everyone. After being here for month or two now I get why the behavioral reports are a thing. It's for stuff like this guy is experiencing. I bet you he cannot even farm for a half hour without being robbed and executed. That's just lame. But what is more lame in my opinion are the Groups/Factions that go around with the " Handsup In 5 seconds or I shoot " techniques. And there is plenty of them. It's gotten to the point where people might as well just draw and assume they will have to fire on and engage anyone who pulls up to their RP area at Farms or Processing. When nobody is out to RP together, and everyone is out to rob each-other you get this toxic environment where everyone is quick to pull a gun and escalate the situation. Just my opinion on the situation though. I'v accepted the fact this is not a " Heavy Roleplay " Server , and I have gotten used to the various low quality robbery RP that is all to common. Sadly you will have to get used to it to.

Awesome. like VLA or Marabunta Grande!.

Appreciate the kind words buddy, so do we some day!. However we are small and still growing and months and months away from that odd's are. I hope for the faction to slowly grow as the server is and to apply when the time is right. ACTIVITY NOTICE : I have had some hardware issues as of late and unfortunately have to order multiple parts in order to get my PC running again. I will personally be inactive for the next week or two until I get my parts, and will update you guys ASAP. I'll be having another member post the Chapter updates, however based on this I would expect a delay on the RP posted in the coming weeks. That all being said I will return and Chapter IV will be released soon enough as well as additional RP posts and updates from the Faction. Once again thank you everyone for the support, and speak to you soon!.

The set was going on about a week back in town. And although some homies have yet to arrive in town the small foundation is relentless in their efforts to come up. Within the week the set has secured multiple properties and four to six vehicles. Not to mention they have gotten some much needed help and guidence in regards to growing some cannabis and being able to harvest, dry and cure and bag it up for sale or use. Along with securing the cannabis connection the set also had a chance encounter and made a connection for pieces. With the Set just starting out, and out-manned and out-gunned by many neighboring gangs and other criminal organizations this connection was key. The set was now capable of arming themselves for defensive purposes at a minimum. And had even stockpiled multiple firearms. Not everything is going as smooth as the steel though, although the set figured out how to grow they are having issues with being out-muscled off cultivation territory. And still with no connections for coke or dope and or heavier weapons there was much work to be put in. And the foundational three to four members would not be sufficient, and the set is now reaching out to African American youth in the Los Santos area to use as muscle and potential set members. ( Reveal Spoiler to view RP , most future posts will be like this if there is a lot of screenshots or video.)

There are many player factions, both illegal and legal and official and unofficial. And I would say usually their standard for RP is generally higher. I have personally had my best RP with Los Santos Customs, EMS / FD and other factions ironically. That's not to say the general civilian player base is not skilled, but you will see a lot of people just being isolative and doing their own daily routines. Also based on the server population and map size there are certain " hot spots " where a lot of RP occurs.

Thank you kindly fellas! Hahah awesome, yeah ironically enough we have had multiple caucasian characters approach us to join. Sadly IC'ly and OOC'ly the set is African American based, I'm trying to include that information for peoples general knowledge if they intend to try and RP with the group. We are getting to be 5-7 days in and I'm very satisfied with what we have accomplished thus far. However I still intent do do Chapter like RP updates multiple times per week, and really want to get some videos of RP posted. Keep an eye out for that stuff soon!, and thanks for the support!.

Welcome to Eclipse and my best advice is to set some basic small goals for yourself!, that is of course after you decide what kind of character you want to play as. There is a lot of paths to take when it comes to roleplaying a character. Try and think and decide what path would be right for your first character!. And remember you can always create and 2nd Character as well!.

I'll say what I said to another new user. Best advice I can give is to know what character you want to play. Think of a name, gender, race, and maybe even past history and such. When it comes to role playing you are sort of playing out a movie. You just need to create a character to play in that said movie. And that is up to you. You could be a regular working class stiff, working 9-5 doing legal jobs. You could be a criminal in some sort of faction or gang, and be into all sorts of crimes. You could be a paramedic, and aid the citizens of San Andreas. Not to mention the Los Santos Police Department and the Government and LS Customs and various other groups. You can even be a regular ol' taxi driver!. Almost anything you can think of you can become and be on the RP server. You just have to have imagination and create a story and character and get started!. And welcome to Eclipse Role Play Server!.

Welcome!, I was on Next Generation Role Play (NGRP) and Los Santos Role Play (LSRP) back in the days of SAMP!. Good to see another old school SAMP player stepping into the next generation. Big difference you will notice is most of the RP occurs through the VOIP. So you do not need to do nearly as many /me's and /do's and other various /commands. Although it's still advised to utilize them within your roleplay when appropriate. Best of luck settling into the server!, best advice I can give is set some reasonable goals for yourself early. And of course choose what type of character you want to play on the server.

Like the roleplay and your format you use to post. Have been and will continue to follow this!.

Good to hear! There's my homie, hopefully the rest will forum up soon here. Awesome!, and Families unlike many other factions and gangs actually takes in female members. Be ready for Chapter III : Texts , Tools, And Connects - Coming soon!

With a few apartment units secured and new set members arriving in town the homies were steady grinding hard still to secure the base for the Families to operate. They are starting to stack enough doe to get some legal whips on the road as well, and have been hard at work otherwise trying to get the dope and gun game off the ground. However they have gained some success with running simple Break and Enter robberies along with other smaller petty crime. However funds were still low for the set, and aside from a few vehicles and shabby apartments their assets were limited. And it was time to start to focus on business and making connections and expanding the set. ( Reveal Spoiler to view RP , most future posts will be like this if there is a lot of screenshots or video.)

Likewise!. I'm sure the RP will be TOP quality.

Can't wait to see the RP post where you 2 Vs 9 Robbed my New Player Friends with nothing on them at processing. Hyped to see you parked all over Forum Drive yelling " Wear green get clapped " and " Grove Street are pussies ". Keep up the amazing roleplay!, such quality!.

Uh, pretty sure these sections are OOC bud. To contact a faction or engage in RP with them you must do so IC'ly and In Game. Unless they are posting something within an In Character section of the forums such at this area. https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/18-in-character-section/ On a side note I love the vehicles you guys use, makes me think of GTA III's Mafia that rode around in the badass black sedans with suits on.

Thank you very much!, we are trying our best to set a new standard for street gang RP here!. And we are getting more excited as more of our friends applications are being accepted thanks to the quiz staff and others putting in work!. Keep an eye out for new homies in the RP!. RP Update : The homies have been busy doing everything from signing car dealership papers to doing B & E 's and strapping up. I have some stuff I'm editing/uploading and will have posted sometime Monday. Myself and my buddies appreciate all the support!, they should be posting some replies of RP of there own once they get some forum accounts working.

Much love! We are trying Pops!, appreciate it!.
