So the increase in faction members should be a tier reward?

You are confusing gangs fighting with world wars. It was indeed done in WW2, but that was to gain intel as it would be a death sentence to try gun down the squad you are in. It does not happen between gangs IRL

Doesn’t everyone not want to be shot by own members? +1 from me. Going into a shootout is already a big risk for your life and it makes no sense to add more risk by potentially getting teamkilled or the rival team finding out your an imposter.

Part of life is death Red and blue flickering lights painted the streets of Los Santos day after day. People in black and red, wearing fedoras were specifically targeted by the law enforcement. Everywhere they go, they would see a car follow them, a person listen to their conversation or see a van outside their house. Dimitri arrived in his house and inmediatly threw up in the kitchen. The stress was way too much for him lately. Even today, he was nearly arrested, just because he was wearing his standard suit. He sat together with Alberto and discussed that there needed to be a drastic change. He claimed that if the Russians would go on like this, they would all be either in prison or filled with lead coming from Police . Alberto nodded and started to brainstorm. ‘We could drop our colors’ Alberto said. He was met with a firm ‘NO’. Dimitri continued: I do not wish to hide, thats for low level people. Alberto’s eyes noticed a painting with the quote: ‘Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of it.’ Alberto smiled and said: ‘That could work’ as he pointed at the painting. Dimitri waved it away, claiming that it was just a stupid piece of canvas. The underboss did not hold of so easily and explained to Dimitri that faking his death, could be the way out. Maybe law enforcement would believe that the Russian Mob died with Dimitri. The two made up a plan and started writing a suicide letter. They planted that letter in his long coat. Next up was to find a body that looked like Dimitri. It was important that the body had Russian characteristics so that it would be believable that Dimitri was dead. Once they obtained the corpse, they shaved off all the hair and brought it to the location they agreed on. Dimitri brought his own dubsta in the process aswell. They arrived in the black dubsta with the body in the trunk at the edge of the city. The next move would be to put Dimitri’s clothing with chain and rolex on it and they are set to execute the plan. Alberto went to the trunk to retrieve a duffel bag, passing it to Dimitri. Dimitri continued by sitting on the spot where the body would soon be placed and reached for the duffel bag, opening the bottle and took a sip. He threw away the bottle and brought the .50 to his chest as he tried to imagine how it would feel like if he had actually committed suicide. He stood up once he saw the body being dragged out of the trunk by Alberto and waited for it to be dropped. Dimitri aimed the gun at the chest of the already dead person and fired two shots into the body. bang bang Two loud noises followed by complete silence. Dimitri and Alberto looked each other in the eye as they quietly chuckled. They felt relieved, hoping that this would cause a change. The Russian Mobsters planted the .50 in the right hand of the body and relocated the ejected shells next to it. They walked towards Dimitri’s dubsta when they suddenly heard a roaring car approach. The pair quickly dived into the nearest bush as they, to their surprise, saw Alexei heading towards the body. The young Russian started to tear up and sat next to the body for many minutes, not knowing that the two mobsters were in a bush right next to him. Dimitri wanted to scream, ensure Alexei that all is fine, but he could not. The plan would fail, no one could know it. He covered his own mouth as he watched Alexei drink his pain away. Dimitri’s duty was done for a while, but Alberto had still a lot to do. Retrieving the body before people find out that this was not Dimitri himself. One day they would find out the truth. One day they would understand why. One day they would see each other again. But till then, the world must know that Dimitri had left the world. More than a year had passed since Dimitri was considered dead in the criminal world. Different gangs, including the Russian Mob, had ceised to exist. With the time passing, the Russian Mob slowly faded into the past, where the gang shall be remembered with many others. The Russian flags that were planted throughout the city were taken down and the fedora’s were vanished from the streetscape. Some ex Russians were roaming the streets, fighting for different believes and colors now. Dimitri himself had been laying low in the always cold place Siberia. Only Andrei and Alberto had contact with Dimitri through a middleman. Dimitri had spent his days overthinking his life and his choices. Some choices he made wrong, undoubtedly. However, he still remained proud of what he achieved with the bratans. It was now, many months after the Russian Mob had been put to rest, that he felt there was no more heat from the police and that the coast was clear. It was now, when he decided to come back to the city of dreams. He took the airplane back to Los Santos and he felt the same feeling, that he felt 4 years ago when he first entered Los Santos. But this time he would not come here alone and with no money, this time he would have a head start. He had not forgotten his friends, but most importantly he had not forgotten his enemies.

Even with official factions it would still have to be changed/updated quite often. A possible solution would be to have a list of tattoos from certain cultures. Examples: Yakuza tattoos (Chinese/Japanese), British street gang tattoos, American street gang tattoo’s , Russian mafia tattoos. As many gangs have their origins in relative the same select category of cultures/nations, it could be used by multiple gangs.

+1 Motivates people to come up with suggestions and bug fixes. don’t see why not.

Still in the gulag

I think its needless to say that the situation is awful and that everyone understands the sensitivity of the subject. For this particular case, its clear that promoting or talking about the war/politics is strictly forbidden and socially not accepted. One must realize that countries are not all about their politics. As we have seen recently on the news, lots of Russian people do not agree with the current situation. Banishing an entire culture is never good. We understand that its a sensitive subject, but in my opinion celebrating Russian culture should be allowed if the whole war controversy will be avoided. However where do we draw the line? We condone roleplaying IRL gangs that murder people daily in the worst way possible (read: MS13, Aztecas, 67 and other cartels). One of the most prestigious faction of this server, Daichead Gadai was actively working (roleplay wise) with the IRA, whom can be seen as heroes by some people and terrorists in the eyes of other. China is being weird with human rights and some very very suspicious labourcamps, but do we ban all the Chinese gangs for that? Is it justified to condone some conflicts, but not others? In conclusion, the world has a lot of evil, thats the hard reality. We even roleplay some of that reality. I truly believe that if gangmembers do not promote or talk about the sensitive ooc subject, we should tolerate celebrating and roleplaying that certain culture. The war going on should be avoided in all conversations. Small addition, anyone here remembers the Taliban gang? I dont think I would even have to point out what for gruesome acts the Taliban did IRL, yet we were fine with them representing (altho in a way less aggressive way) the taliban. It feels like there is a double standard here.

No, your character does not get deleted!

Ask John Polar, legends say that he has finished his ever lasting journey.

With all due respect Aieos, I am pretty sure you have never actually tried this idea. I have, many many times. The concept is simple and most people think it works out, but it wont with the current mindset. The majority of the police negotiators will tell you that they will shoot the people on the bike if not all of the hostage takers come out at the same time. As Aldarine mentioned, we (criminals) face hours of prison for doing the daily bank robbery that we need to keep up our turfs. Hence the reason nowadays people chose the meta way, a quick grab and run with bf400’s. Countless criminals, including me, have tried to enhance the RP revolving bank robberies, but that 9 out of the 10 times, it will screw the criminal over. Having that said, I know PD wants to RP and most of them dont play to win, but their approach needs to change if they want to actually see interesting roleplay scenarios during bankrobberies. Sniping people behind a hostage, shooting as soon as they hop on a bike or rejecting every realistic demand will bring the criminals to their last resort; a quick grab and run with their bf400. There are countless reports and video’s were demands such as free passage, remove the spike strips, make xray land have been ignored. Links to examples of current approach The old approach of law enforcement: It is at the point now, where people try to prevent to roleplay with police during bank robberies and instead try be gone before they even interact with each other. This should not be dealt with ICLY, cause this is heavily influencing the level of roleplay that could have be there. An example, just like the player theft rule was an OOC measure and not something dealt ICLY with by law enforcement cause roleplay was heavily being crippled by the current environment, this should be taken a look at aswell. Some updates to the whole system of the bank robberies as Bala suggested, might be the idealistic solution.

In the past, I’ve done a lot of hostile RP in prison which lead obviously to solitary and extended time. Being locked in a small cell sucks, but thats a consequence to your actions. You could decide to be nice to guards and I know from experience that they are really enthusiastic to roleplay with you. This could be cooking, yoga RP etc. Its really up to you how you sit out your time. I chose the hostile way most of the times and I accepted the consequences. Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time, they say. I think that suits here because the extended time is not ridiculously huge. Having that said, I do agree with your PD comments. If you provide good RP, a nice thing to see would be that they only charge you with felony evading (and ofcourse the items on you), instead of felony evading + reckless operation + public endangerment + failing to maintain lane. Although these are all justified and correctly placed according to the penal code, they could make your experience worse and honestly for the officer it would not really matter if he charges you with all the charges named or just felony evading.

Maybe it has been removed? I remember it being used by people with AK’s, but there was a huge desync advantage.
