  1. It's a love hate thing for me personally, while i welcome changes like not being able to use vehicles as weapons and some of the WK features, i feel like this is just wayyyyy too much influence over IC events. Even in the shelbys we have seen the changes and are kind of just sat here like "now what". I understand that it was to make it less of a toxic atmosphere, but i feel that too much OOC interferance takes heavily away from the RP that has unfolded and would have unfolded otherwise.
  2. DISCLAIMER ALL INFORMATION PORTRAID AND SAID IN THIS THREAD AND THESE POSTS ARE OOC. NOTHING SHOULD OR CAN BE USED ICly AND THOSE WHO DO SO RISK BEING PUNISHED FOR METAGAMING. Thanks "War & Mystery" The day starts out an alarming note. Aki wakes up to hear that the Crimson Syndicate after having their Leader beg for mercy at the barrel of a shotgun, had chosen to Hit our members at HQ during the night while the Family were asleep. Aki was infuriated that they would even try anything after the Massacare the day before. Nonetheless, the first shot would be taken, now it is Our time to follow up. But first, time to catch some fish. The Family chose to call upon their recently formed Allies at Explosion Enterprises, and call them down to HQ to meet along with the Crimson Syndicate Leader, who chose to turn up Unarmed and begging for mercy. During this time, Aki was posted & ready for any form of Attack from the chimps, but ovbiously they would not show when it mattered. During this time, one of the Syndicate members like many others that the Leader had no control over, chose to text an Explosion making claims about having to "Clap" them. Lucy & Herbert instantly took this threat as fighting words, and joined the Family into the "Disbanding" of the Crimson Syndicate. The Mouthy & Disrespectful Leader was let go after being asked some questions. He chose to keep running his mouth upon exit, and once he was cleared from HQ Aki took it upon herself to show him some Manners. He chose not to listen, so he suffered a fate the same as many others. No more talking After these events, the Family chose to head up to an unknown location and have some bonding time with our good Friends. While this War would be costly, it had bought both the Explosions and the Shelbys something that money cannot buy. A closer bond. Now it was game time. We would follow the Walk that the Syndicate did not have the balls to follow. We would Hunt them down 1 by 1. "Thanks for your car & hair, they serve as a great donation to the Family." Later we found the same gentlement suffering the same fate after shooting a Family member then Snitching to the LSPD. He laid on the ground crying his eyes out as we Laughed. Don't worry. We will put you out of your misery right under the noses of those Pigs. Later on in the evening when the Hunt was finished and Family members went to sleep, The Void called for a meeting to see if this could still be resolved. Family command chose to attend, trusting that The Void had no ill intentions. Before they knew it, Rats rolled up from everywhere and swarmed the 3 Family members there, killing 2. Aki survived the assault due to The Void not wanting to stand by and watch the diplomat be slaughtered. Which she was thankful for, but the Damage was done. The Family lost all respect and trust gained with The Void in previous days, as they stood by and watched during an ambush after agreeing into an Alliance just the day before. Aki, as the survivor spoke to their leader and explained her point of view and where she now stands. "The Family has lost any Trust & Respect for your Crew as you choose to watch us be slaughtered at a diplomatic meeting arranged by none other than Yourselves. You are not willing to Act when push comes to shove, and therefore you will be nothing close to the Asset promised to us." She turned her back, and walked away. There was no interest in Cowards. Later that day, the Family again joined their Friends in a "ritual" to Honor the single Fallen comerade during the days fighting. Lucy Kindly handed donuts to all present, and everyone begun munching away to the sounds of cries, and the shared memories of the one who had fallen. "I'll never forget those sweet ass cheeks" - nomnomnom. Aki happily took part in this, and her bond and trust to the Explosions became stronger than ever before. They showed with actions that they truly were a Family, and this was something Aki held very dear to her on a personal level. The end of the day came with some Mystery for Victor and Aki. They were approached by an Unknown Man who offered something that ringed Dollar Signs in Aki's ears. They went over to HQ to discuss things further. While there, the Unknown Man claimed that he only had 2 conditions that must be followed in order for them to be able to do Business. The first, was that this conversation Never Happened. The Only people who are to know of this was the 2 Family members and the Boss. Everyone else did not need to know anything, which Aki agreed too. "A big part of a Family is the trust you have with eachother, so not everything has to be explained as all Members know and trust that it is for the better of the Family" And so after meeting an agreement on this, the Unknown Man then went into his 2nd condition. The Family was too attempt to put a diplomatic end to the war just as it was starting. The Man was very clear and simple in his reasoning for this; "War earns nothing. You guys should be out there making Money, not fighting over things with other Crews" Aki was extremely hesitant at this thought, as she had a personal issue with the Cyndicate. But, the Unknown Man had offers and promises that Aki knew would be extremely good for the Family. Understanding the motives, Aki agreed that she would Attempt to put an End to the war, as requested. But, she wanted to make it Crystal Clear that this all had to run through the Boss before anything could be set in stone. The Unknown Man agreed with this notion, and agreed to meet with the Boss himself when he could. AGAIN, ALL INFORMATION HERE IS OOC AND CANNOT BE USED IC.
  3. "Growth" Aki starts of by shadowing the interviews of some new recruits for the Family, helping Andy with asking any questions needed and making sure the process is as smooth and thorough and it can possibly be. Liam stood by on "protection", and did definately not stand there and do nothing. As the interviews continued and the recruits piled up from a backlog of texts, Aki saw it as time to show the recruits they would be well guarded by the Family, while also getting to feel important in her own right. After completing the interviews for the day, Aki and the Family headed back over to HQ and begun their usual Fishing operations to show the recruits what we are all about. During this time, Andy began boasting of his proclaimed "76" IQ score that made him legally classed as not retarded. He clapped his feet to the song in solem Happyness at this "result", which the Family was very nice and complemented him about. Later on in the evening, Aki noticed how the HQ was starting to really feel alive, with the amount of Family members hanging around. But, this abundance of people she cared about also made her a little defensive, so she didn't hesitate to bring her Weapons out to the threats that loomed around. After this, the Black Hats annouced that we would be meeting with The Void, and they were on their way over to HQ now for some talks. Aki took this as a chance to quickly get Family nice and lined up for a little snapshot. As it happens, Aki's memories of this meeting at Void hideout were extremely scarce, but nonetheless some photos were recovered of the meeting, showing someone who looks like Aki there, but was later confirmed to indeed not be her. The meeting turned out to be a great thing, with both sides sharing many Opinions, morals and ideals. As such all members formally introduced themselves to eachother. Plesentries were had, but it unfortunately did not last long. According to Family members and assosiates, the LSPD came in guns blazing for an "Unlawful Assembly", which apprently requires SWAT. Nearly all Family members were either shot and wounded, or quickly Escaped under the Snouts of those attempting to Supress them. Tragically, an unarmed Void member was shot down during this Operation by the "Peacekeepers" in LSPD. While many took for the Hills, countless members on Both Sides and were taken into Misson Row. It was later confirmed when Aki spoke to Family who were arrested that they were Interrogated for information on our Operations. Good thing all parties arresed Wouldn't talk knew nothing! "To Protect and Serve? More like to Abuse and Supress" And so, the Family headed back to HQ to breif on the events and inform everyone of what had happened. Aki chose to spring into action, and spread the information she knew on the LSPD's tactics and operations, of which she compared with that of a Rat. At the end of it, the Family looked at the Silver Lining; They desperately grasped at loose ends from their Lack of Information, The Family lost nothing to the Assault and best of all by far in Aki's mind... They had no clue of the plans she had set forth. "Enjoy chasing dead ends!"
  4. "Friends & Hostiles" The day starts off on it's usual note. Aki & Christmas after a long night of drinking and dancing the night before, Headout out to the fishing spot and got to work. Christmas displayed a lovely taste in music, and Aki took the time to play some bangers of her own. Later on in the day more of The Family woke up, and Aki decided to get everyone intergrated into our new Hideout, which she had been planning along with the Black Hats to become a stronghold and center for our Business. While doing some light fishing, Aki noticed someone pull up and step out. Cautious, she withdrew her pistol and approached the man. It turned out to be the leader of the Crimson Syndicate, who claimed that this location was theirs and they had been operating out of there for weeks. Aki had her answer for this instantly and whispers to one of the Black Hats; "This is Our place. They can either leave or take it from us. They can try atleast." Aki set up on the roof just in case things went south. A long conversation was had between the Family & Syndicate leaders, but it seemed that there would be no middle ground. Both parties wanted the location, and the Family would not step down. Aki, being reasonable as she is, decided to lay out the basics of her plan, and why this location was Essential to it. Aki had been in contact with some OG Family members from back home in Birmingham, UK. She had proposed a simple business oppertunity, and one she knew would bring Immense Wealth to the Family, both in Los Santos and back home. She proposed that Family members began flying large amounts of Black Tar Herion & Opium from Birmingham Airport to Los Santos International Airport. She had scouted out the Airports and found routes that were completely unmanned. Room for 24/7 supply, with plenty of Demand on the streets of Los Santos. But, there was a large hole in her plan that was pointed out by Family members back home. Both the United Kingdom and Los Santos were extremely strict on the movement of hard cash, and therefore it was regulated & watched by the govournments carefully. So Aki had to find a solution to traffic Capital back into the United Kingdom, but not in the form of Cash. This is when her plan truly came together. She had noticed a recent abundance of heavy weaponary flying into Los Santos and making its way onto the streets in preperation for a brewing War. This was a Golden Oppertunity for the Family and it's assosiates, as the supply of heavy weaponary back into the United Kingdom was extremely sparse at this time. There were currently no large organizations even thinking of Transporting heavy weaponary into the UK, and this Chance stood right in front of her. All she had to do is reach out and grab it. And so the plan was set in motion. She vowed her Family back home would also see the fruits of this Business. Even with this reasoning sat in front of the groups, they could still not see eye to eye. Both still wanted the warehouse, so the family formally annouced to them that this area is ours. They are still welcome, but should they step foot here with the intention of claiming it for themselves, they would have a massive problem with the Family. After this Saga, the Family was called for a meeting with Explosion Enterprises. Aki was thrilled with this the moment she found out as a small hole in her grand plan was that she lacked the Reputation needed to be selling Heavy Weapons on the streets of Los Santos. The meeting started with Formal introductions between all the members present, and then got onto both groups Ideals & Plans. Aki chose this as not yet the time to speak of her proposal, as she personally knew very little about Explosion Enterprises, only of it's Explosive (haha!) coupled Leaders. The meeting was a great one. Both sides shared many views and plans, so they were on the same page before they even knew it. The Family even headed to Explosion HQ, in an unknown location & area. The Family responded to their Kindness, showing them around our own HQ and beloved fishing spots. After this, everyone parted ways and most Family members called it a night. After Aki woke up from a short nap, she was greeted by Victor who simply said "Get in my car". Aki hopped in with faith, and was taken to a nearby clothing store, where she was informed that she had been promoted to the rank of Major, therefore getting the Honor of joining Victor as a Brown Hat!
  5. Congrats on official, you guys put in some amazing work and deserve it!
  6. Today we see a preview of what Aki is able to do. The Family's sharpshooter is here, do not Underestimate her.
  7. Welcome, i came over from GMOD myself; mainly playing PERP. Hope you enjoy it here!
  8. "Choices" Aki started off the day on a wonderful note. While cruisin around with Jack, they were pulled over for "Reckless driving" by the LSPD. You already know we didn't hang around long enough for them to even know who they were talking to. After a 30 minuite chase with 10 Cruisers & A Chopper, the Pigs finally got us to a hault. Aki; high heels intact, took off running for the hills. She was quickly Tazed Multiple Times for running and set for her first run in Prison. Aki arrived out of prison to be greeted by Liam, who claimed he had a present for her from Christmas. The package was lost during delivery and never seen again. Later on in the day, the whole Family arrived in town and Jack annouced he had a suprise for everybody, Andy expecially... It was none other than Emily Shelby! Aki was delighted to see the return of one of the Founding Family members, so she greeted her with open arms. Again with her return Testosterone levels were extremely high from the boys, so Aki took a seat and watched it unfold. For some odd reason Andy seemed extremely Sexually excited at the sight of his sisters return. "Andy once told me to undress so he could stare at me" - Emily After things calmed down abit, Emily was able to formally introduce herself to the Family members she had not yet met, Aki being one of them. Aki noted down upon meeting her that she seemed extremely Kind Hearted & Sweet. After this introduction was finished, Aki headed up north with a bag of cash and excitement to get to say hola to some friendly Vatos. Aki enjoyed the Aztecas company as always while awaiting her business deal. Some "ORALE!!"'s were had and she left with her business complete and a big smile on her face. Aki sped home and dropped off her Merchandise at an unknown Stash House, then headed back to the hang out to see what was going on with Family Members, as there was the usual chatter & banter on the radio. While outside, Aki once again took the time to appriciate the Familys choice of vehicles for the day... Except for Liam, who was driving a tiny pile of shit. "Why are always so fucking poor Liam" Turns out the vehicle wasn't even his. The day moved on, of which Aki spent the majority sleeping in her apartment. When she awoke that evening, she heard of some commotion up at the Toll Booth. She grabbed a Heavy Pistol from her nightstand, hopped in her car and sprinted over. Luckily it was a better sight than the last, but none the less it seemed people enjoyed fucking with us and disrespecting our name. The Family ruthlessly hunted one of the Targets to Bayview, and a Member shot him Dead on the spot. Unfortunately, the member that did so was met with a bullet to the head by a random rocking an Aztecas mask. The bad situation got worse when a known Triad member and a known Zeta member rolled up and started talking shit on the Family name, spouting various mindless claims. Aki & Liam stood and watched as they talked their trash, taking No Action as a war is something we will NOT take part in, no matter what. The Family quickly escaped back down south and held an Emergency Meeting with those awake to discuss the events. A lot was said in this meeting, and a lot of that CANNOT be repeated. But, the group very quickly realised that a fight with the council was the exact Opposite of what the Black Hats had ordered. They also found out that the Council members in question were likely not High Command members, so this was a Relationship that could be solved with a simple Conversation with the right person. So The Family chose to not take any form of Action, and wrote the incident off as an Isolated opinion of Some people in town. "At this stage, We just have to sit by and take the hits. Everyone will know in due time, but now is not that time." - Liam For all the faults, Aki found out the true outcome of this intense meeting....
  9. "Events" The day started off on a little different of a note this time, with a gathering at a Business Assosiates house. While there, Aki explained some concerns of The Family's finances and where they were going. Everything was explained well to her by the Black Hats, and she left feeling that she really could trust them. After this gathering came another, but this was a much more formal meeting. Aki, Liam and Victor assembeled at a nearby ATM to welcome our Guests and show them to our hang out. There, a lot of conversation was had, and the group came to a happy mutual understanding on a Security oppertunity. The Black Hats reminded everybody that The Family originally started out running Security operations. Unfortunately the meeting was interupted by the tip-off that the LSPD were on their way over. The Family was long gone before they even knew we were there. Later on after the meeting had finished at a different Hideout Spot, The Family gathered back at our original spot consoled, as well as the usual jokes. "Victor why do i always see you eating?" "Because he's a fat bastard" Due to it being pretty late in the evening at that point in time, most of The Family decided to kick in and call it a night. The remaining 4 members decided to head up north for some business, then chill and run the Toll booths for a bit. Aki on the other hand didn't want to wait, so she chose to just fish nearby under the bridge. Atleast she would still be nearby to Family, as she gets Lonely super quickly. Unfortunately this venture came to a tragic end. 6 men in Pink turned up and begun a Gunfight with the Family members on the bridge. Aki hopped straight into her car, and booked it up there, engaging them when she arrived. She was Outnumbered & Outgunned, so gripping her pistol she went down with her Family. Luckily, EMS arrived just as the men placed the barrel of their weapons to Aki's head. They scarpered upon hearing the Sirens, but the damage was already done. During this fight, Aki was shot 3 times with a 50Cal pistol, and one of The Family members was down. Upon EMS arrival, he was pronouced DOA. Aki was given first aid treatment, and was sent off to the hospital, and upon exit she was greeted with The Horror of the news. She broke down in tears, and vowed to those alive that she would find and execute the people who did this. A long search begun by The Family after this, lead by Aki's rage. After some inquires, we were tipped off that this could be known members of the Vory Mafia and this was later confirmed by Trusted Sources. Aki also had a name, mentioned by one of the robbers during the end of their exchange. "Paul" The group spent hours looking for them, over every square of Los Santos they can tread on. The search came up completely empty handed, with completely no signs of the Targets. It was like they just up and Vanished. The search was called off in due time, but not after Aki could take out her Rage on some folks that decided to attempt a Robbery on The Family. Outnumbered 2 to 4, Aki and Liam put these folks to an early grave with over 200 rounds spent on both sides. Aki took the time to Skin their corpses, Spitting on them as goodbyes for what they tried to do, and to Honor the Member who passed away. The day also taught Aki something new. Something that she is well... Not so talented at.
  10. "War" Aki woke up to a nice peaceful morning. Unfortunately she was informed of the fact that a War had begun between the Council and WCA, along with the Dojin-Kai. A meeting was called to discuss this matter and The Familys stance, and luckily we were all on the same page from the very start. "None of our business" The Family had all come to a mutual understanding that this War was something we wanted no part in. Each and every Black Hat quickly agreed along with Aki that we wanted to avoid conflict at all costs. We protect our own, but fighting at our current status is the same as carving the script into our own graves. After this small meeting, we all went about our normal business. Interestingly enough, for The Family things were quieter than ever. No one was interested in doing anything to fishermen during this ongoing dispute. Which was excellent news in our trade. Although, unfortunately while hunting someone Aki and Jack found eachother in the same spot. Dippin' over to LSC after "unforseen events" aka. a Tree, decided it would take the lives of both of our vehicles. Word on the street is that the Tree in question came out of the situation with a free haircut! After this... Well, i think some educated guessing can tell where we ended up. "UK Drill is trash" - Aki During this fishing feat, for some reason unknown Peter decided to strip down to his tighty-whiteys and go for a quick dip. Liam being the well educated fellow he is said the famous words "I'm just sat here getting my doll money, saving up for some council housing". Aki decided this would be a good idea to teach some Family members how to dive & swim properly. Unfortunately the events of Aki's clothing being remoted showed some high Testosterone levels in the group, and people got a little excited... Aki made sure that they knew the deal. Much to her suprise, resident sadist Peter had some insight; When The Family rolled up to the drop-off, they noticed 2 cars chillin there. They thought nothing of it until it was revealed these 2 cars were owned by none other than Aribella and her "accomplice" (Aki forgot his name). Aribella noted that she liked standing in position there, as it made her feel Dominant and that everyone was listening to her. Greetings were made, and everyone parted ways after Aki's comment of "Thats pretty hot". And so the day ended back where it started. Everyone headed to The Familys common hang out spot, and Aki made sure that everyone had what they needed before the night was out, thanks to our lovely friends up north La Familia.
  11. "Upgrades" This day much as the last started off on the same note. Aki woke up to find Victor chilling in his personal spot, so she went over to join him. She filled him in on recent events and some Cocerns she was having. Victor assured her that everything would be okay, so long as it went according to plan. "Enough fish to feed the hungry bastards at home eh" Later on that day, Aki found herself with a large sum of pennies in her pocket that her friend Elizabeth decided to scoop out. Shame those pennies were not quite the Gold she was looking for, but it'll do for now. Aki then went to her apartment to take a nap, unfortunately all the fishing had taken its toll on her physically and she is very lazy could really use the rest & relation time. She awoke late mid-day to see alot more of The Family around as per usual, which was exciting enough to give her the willpower to head back down to the Ocean. During our fishing, our local festive fighter Christmas decided that he would like a tussle with a Fish, as part of our Thug training as well as "some well beat meat". After Aki is finished with her usual try and fill a bag, get tired & sell, she is called up by High Command for an unspecified reason. She was informed NOT to rush, but that didn't stop her from being clocked at 188KPH by the LSPD on her way to the drop-off. Oh well, there goes an hour of fishing! Aki arrives very late right on time to our usual hang out spot, and she is greeted by 2 Black Hats and the leader of the Gangsters. The Family decides it's a great idea to have a laugh and inform her that she is no longer welcome here, which luckily for her speedy mind didn't last long. After the greetings & jokes were over, it was Business talk time. Aki as per usual spent alot of time speaking about her ideals and what she would like, and the Black Hats informed her of what was actually going on, and gracefully let her know that she had become a Trusted member of the family, and would thus be Promoted to join the Gangsters and be a fully fledged member of The Family. Delighted by this news she stood up, not knowing it unfortunately it came with some grave news to be delivered by the Lead Gangster. "Aki, congratulations on your promotion and i'm glad to have you under me, but there is only 1 way this can go. You have to throw off that Pink Hat in order to become one of us. There are no exceptions to these rules" Aki did ponder for a moment, but not about what might be expected. With a sigh of relief, she let Everyone know that she completely agreed with this motion, and exclaimed that "Not even I should be an exception". With a tear down her face, she offered up her beloved Pink Hat to the Lead Gangster. With this, a new Recruit would be able to finally spread her wings and do what she likes... What could possibly go wrong?
  12. "Business as Usual" Aki started off the day with the usual business. Some light fishing, rolling around with the Shelbys. Later on in the day, an internal meeting was set to be held at an unknown location on a rooftop amitst the city with a beautiful view. Aki saw this as a great oppertuntity to get to meet everyone and put her views across on recent events. Aki somehow managed to obtain the power of flight during the meeting, the Crew was excited to see another one of her many talents. After the meeting, Aki took some time to critique appriciate the collection of vehicles The Family was whippin' that day. She noted that while it was looking Clean & Orderly, it lacked a certian unique touch that she would like for The Family. Oh well, atleast she was granted the pleasure of her beloved Pink Hat. Everyone left the meeting happy & went back to their own business for a while. While some went for some Poker or Lumberjacking, Aki went back to the thing she knows best. A relaxing fish by the calming sea, great to clear up the horror of waking up at MD with no clothes!
  13. Can't wait to see the first update since i joined the server, good work!
  14. Date and time (provide timezone): 19/04/2020 21:10pm GMT Character name: Yoshido Aki Issue/bug you are reporting: Every single time i load in on this character, i crash on first attempt, and on second attempt i spawn in the room where you view characters and am unable to get out without admin help. Only happens on this character, other 2 are unaffected. Expected behavior: Crash on first load, second load spawn in the char viewing room. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: N/A ( I honestly have no clue why, how or when this issue started but would be great if i could get it resolved ). Also worth mentioning that i regularly see others load into this same spot and get stuck, but for most of them it seems a 1 off thing and i'm the only one here every time.
  15. Good luck, hopefully the fruits of those 5 hours a day spent in prison will treat you well P.S what is the punishment for stealing your merchandise? asking for a friend
  16. @ZippyDxD Is there a swingers section?
  17. I mean its not due to your past admin record, its likely due to your attitude. You need a week odd clean admin record for jobs like LSC, DCC and Bayview. There's a ton of boring freelance jobs you can do during the week you gotta wait for the admin record if you get a punishment or something, i will say most of the jobs are fun for the first hour or so, so killing time for 1 week with em is quite easy.
  18. This answers it perfectly. Do you really think putting "see answer above" on a question that is asked is appropriate? There's no way your not joking or delusional. And the 2nd one, again, the reason is very simple. You likely have an exstensive admin record which lead to your denial, or recent admin punishments showing that you are not versed in the server rules and therefore not fit for the faction. PD was likely the same situation. Want to join legal jobs? Is pretty easy; RP well and too a high quality, put lots of effort and care into the image you give to people when you apply. I would like to see you write these kinda things on an IRL job application and then question why you got declined.
  19. Look at the feedback you got on your denials, they'll likely explain everything. I can assure you that in the kindest way possible, you are not important enough to be singled out by multiple factions & denied. I'm going to guess that the problem is either an IC one, your admin record, or what wouldnt suprise me from personal experience in these departments is your quality of English Language could be an issue.
  20. +1, not really needed but would be a nice quality of life for those who want it.
  21. +1 have noticed a quick downfall of quality crim RP because they simply cant get anything done without new content or atleast some changes
  22. Welcome my friend, hope you enjoy it here
  23. I personally mainly play on the lawful side, but i can say every couple weeks i peek into the crim life. I can say for sure that in the 4-5 months odd i've been playing eclipse on both my characters, for my lawful tons of things change all the time, where as in my crims life nothing has really changed except the organizations around me. I do think crim could use some love, but i think it'd take some pretty sweet suggestions to make something good. tl:dr, +1 crim could use some love.
  24. Can vouch this man has amazing washing machines, got red wine out of my white shirts!
  25. Best of luck! I love seeing MC's around personally.
