Personally can't say much for the longer sentences, due to the fact that you can have plenty of RP in 6 hours or less. Depending on your sentencing. Longer sentencing doesn't seem it would fix the issue, there just needs to be some sort of involvement/activities for both DOC and inmates to do.

I've heard great ideas followed by amazingly built interiors. Then they just go on a real estate selling spree or something. Lots of hotels were in production and would have been really cool RP wise, but just didn't finish or even started.

People of Los Santos! If you have any suggestions on what you would personally want to listen to if Los Santos were to get it's on live broadcasting station. Interviews with a police chief, perhaps we take some of the stories underground? Send me a text throughout the day if you think of anything! My personal number is 4626756!

Hope you are enjoying everything so far, played SAMP for years on both NGG and LSRP. Hopefully, you can bring some of your own flair and skills into the faction system. Had to remind myself to keep the same RP habits and create a world of stories. Don't let other's discourage you!

It appears that many businesses either don't survive very long or don't get finished etc.. Having a bar that employs the bartender/necessary workers and many people just hang out or go to socialize is something that appears to missing or the business disappears after a week or so. The events at the Mirror Park Tavern are fucking awesome, however it's also the perfect place just to talk to strangers or invite the boys out and have a night on the town. Veterans/Business Guru's, what is something that you believe would do well, as an actual business? Also, just to cure my curiosity why do people throw so much time and resources in creating a unique business but never lasts?

Reading/seeing this group succeed is so awesome. Keeping it realistic to the "gangbanger" lifestyles, as well as keeping everyone on their toes with their RP adventures. Nicely done.

I feel very motivated to do my business with LSC's shop. Live close by and the guy who changes my oil looks like he wants to plant a car bomb already. #notmysabreturbo

Very well done!

In our great state that we call Los Santos, there is one thing we are always doing. Watching.. Sometimes it's suspicious minds, other times it's just a force of habit. Crime is typically tucked away in the underground, only for a short period of time. That is until we notice it, and shortly everyone knows. If this is the case.. HOW DID NOBODY SEE ME THROW A DAMN MOTEL PARTY?! I mean come on! I had a fucking beer helmet the same color as my short-shorts! After standing out by the road for a while, I decided fuck it! Vespucci Canals it is! I pretended to be drowning for like five minutes, and these three guys fishing off the pier calmly says, "Damn, could you get this gay floater out of my hook?" HE HOOKED ME IN MY FUCKING SHORTS! My final question is, who's fucking grandparents did I disrespect, to be blue balled by the public? -Clay Cunningham P.S. The mustache isn't that creepy, give it a chance.

All of these cars would be a great addition to the server. Give a bit more character, than the ones we are familiar with.

I agree, many "tactical" stores throughout the State's and pretty easy to obtain.

Started off with me trying to get new pants, before my shift had started at Weazel and begin another Anchorman Day. Before I could get my card out of my wallet all the Zetas that were buying clothes at the same time as me, had everything going, while I was still just now getting behind cover. Noticed the other gentlemen's, attire of course after everything took place. However, just wanted to appreciate you guys for that, really. And DO NOT stay at the Strawberry Mortuary. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm unsure if RAGEMP can read HTML pages, I'm sure it can but that's waay above my head. I was messing around the past few days, and it would be insanely easy for us to have our own version of "LifeInvader." Just need the good to go from the developers/founders.

It seems that many of you in the community have agreed on a lot of similar things. However, after the usual banter and recalling past memories(OOC/IC) it led to another argument. This is one of the things that makes me wonder, how many people actually roleplay? Everyone was on the same track, and it turned into deeper matters. We went from a RP server telling others and themselves, that recently it hasn't been a RP server. It has slowly devolved into some, economy server or some type of "Second Life" sim. Of course some of you guys out there are still killing it as always,(Big Al at Bayview), but I don't know if it's the constant need to grind, or feel like you're falling behind. Simply because, you wanted the OTHER business property next to yours. Knowing you'll have to get something else, and never do anything with these. Arguing about who's going to get all the super-cars, so you can sell them for even higher. You didn't even think about remodeling those two hotels, and left them there so nobody else could give it a shot. Now with the lack of small apartments, or even hotel rooms. The server has become a real estate agents, wet dream. Admins or whoever is normally supposed to be involved in things in this nature, you didn't think of property taxes? Realizing, that with a literal 1% owning everything, it ruins so many good things that could come about and really change this server around. Bars/Nightclubs in every other neighborhood, South LS could be crazy good. Now, it appears to be some form of a finish line. Like we are all racing to a server end point, which is odd. You aren't supposed to let a server control your characters story/your character just jump on board with what the "entire world" is doing. However, it seems to be the case. Perhaps we are beyond fixing, coming to a sense of reality, where PD isn't portrayed as literal monsters. Only because of the lack of RP, (arrests, their word over yours, simply just wanting to drop you off at prison so they can patrol again.) Also, a very fine line, between "gang bangers & organized crime families." If the Zetas in IRL where in the same state with the triads, there would be no more costumes for any of it's members. As well as, the "gang bangers" not dressing like Robin Hood, and be more focused with terrorizing Fisherman with GPS's and more focused on selling drugs, and other(more creative) crimes, to pay their keep. Maybe that will keep the screaming, "Bank Rats" from telling every New Player&Player's about how awesssome running drugs are. Once again, I've began to ramble on, just like many will in the comments. We realize the problems, some don't know they are problems, simply because I guess they forgot it was a RP server. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to get back into those "LSRP" days, after a cool night filled with RP events and nobody lost a small fortune or started a war. It would take change, and retraining our minds what proper RP is, but we can really make a difference, and bring the community together(OOC) so we can all have those good RP IC moments. TLDR: We all know the problems. From New Players being here for a day, to Staff being here since the beginning. Now let's fix them together, as players, so we don't have to play with a toxic IC & OOC community.

Good ole' fashioned "Race War." Just like my Dad used to tell me about.

You're not wrong, I had maybe 3 characters killed in LSRP in various biker gangs. One was a hot shot who wouldn't shut up, and the 2nd one tried to overstep and think about his morals. And the 3rd followed orders, but was killed by another MC. So, one of the things that I've always felt as a player on this server was. It doesn't matter what I say or do IC'y because it's just going to be a rinse and repeat.

And that entire process just doesn't sit right with me. I say process, because it appears you've seen the same exact product.

That's what I had said in my OP, doesn't make a whole lot of sense for someone to suddenly become a demi-god simply because they are baptized in a certain color. Typically, a leader would teach his younger guys a little discipline and how to act around another leader or whatever the case is. Don't know very many gangs who would go to war with another simply over their younger guys. I also stated that the city wide urge to constantly be stepping on the little guy or figuring out a way to always rip somebody off, just because they don't want to work hard and build a character or a story arch. They just want to ride around sports cars, and make it all one color. Why? Well, it seems that you and I have played on different servers possibly SAMP as well? I just got a really good feeling that some of these folks don't really have the urge to keep roleplaying after they have reached their "Nirvana" and simply stop caring about playing a character or never did

The entire thing would be better off just getting reworked, that way you don't have to wait for on-duty and all that good stuff. I'm not quite understanding the increase in reward, though. It's just like knocking off your local 7/11 with three other people. Doesn't seem like it's going to be a good take regardless.

Good job idea however, this quote is bothering me. Perhaps if the role-playing as a whole was set to a standard and enforced, there wouldn't be a need to implement grindy static to static jobs that you and I both know that there will be zero RP being done. It feels like actual character involvement, is not a thing. With a server of over 250+ many wish to avoid others completely while grinding for their cash. Then when the robbers come around and take their easy pray, everything becomes a problem again. Also, more RISK always means that when caught or god forbid you have to speak to another character, you just dip the fuck out.

Damn, went straight from lowering possible perception to just straight up "fuck y'all's rain."

Oh no doubt, however I don't think it should be gravy train. Robbing your local 24/7 IRL is typically known as high risk-low reward. Typically associated with smaller street gangs, or people who are beyond down on their luck.

What benefit would I really have to rob a corner store in the first place? Typically the stores are right open for everyone to see anyway. Also, haven't seen too many people IRL even successfully escape after small time robberies such as this.

Hell, it used to happen in SAMP too. Pretty much bullshit will continue, and just feels like a kick in the nuts after you try to keep your personal RP up to a standard and hope something changes or more RP things come to the server.
