To all the cops saying "get a concealable weapon instead of .50": this isn't csgo, there isn't supposed to be advantages and disadvantages to every weapon to make them equal. This is about realism, and a .50 pistol would absolutely be concealable with the right clothing (e.g. the Aztecas flannel shirt)

Frank Patterson / Jake Connolly - Part 3 Part 1: Part 2: Chapter 1 | Post-war After months of fighting, the war would come to an end. Unsurprisingly, as the allied forces were severely outnumbers, the council emerged victorious. Demands were given to the defeated West Coast Assassins to leave Grove Street forever, pay a tax of 900 drugs a month ((a week)) and hand over an extortionate amount of cash in one payment. Unfortunately, WCA could not afford to meet these demands, and had no option but to disband. The council also had demands for the Dojin-Kai, which were to pay $1,500,000 and a tax of 300 drugs every two weeks. At the sacrifice of Bradley Castle, Shategashira of the Dojin-Kai, the money was paid quickly, and a drug operation was built in The Dojin-Kai's Paleto Bay property. It was not long before The Dojin-Kai began recruiting some ex-WCA members, the most notable of which being Michael Laurie, who was given the position of Honbucho. This was not well received by some members of the family, although Mike served his role well and led his soldiers confidently. Things were looking up for the Dojin-Kai. Chapter 2 | An old friend Time had passed, The Dojin-Kai were producing enough drugs to pay the taxes and raise money for Koi, a Japanese restaurant situated in Vespucci. Whilst loyal to his current family, Frank would never stop wondering what happened to his former brothers and sisters in The Rooks. Where have they gone? What are they doing? These questions were constantly bouncing around in his mind. He knew about Jimmy Irish and Frankie Valalero setting up The Worker's Union; a legal business providing benefits to the workers of Los Santos. He knew about Jerzy McEden and Harley Pavlovich creating The Void. The biggest question, however, was what happened to Dmitri Leroy? Frank had not seen D in a long time, he had asked multiple people if they knew his fate, although he was often met with "D is dead" or "stop asking questions". Frank had even been approached by Tyler Rogers, who shared his desire to find out what had happened to Dmitri. More time passed, The Dojin-Kai was prospering and external affairs were looking promising. It was a regular day and Frank was at the Los Santos Bank collecting his salary when a masked man on a Hakachou Drag approached and whispered "get on". Frank had no gun on him so he didn't fear getting robbed, although something told him this man was a friend. He sat on the back of the bike and was taken to an empty compound behind the Vinewood Sign. The mysterious man began speaking to Frank, clutching an Assault Rifle, and it was not long before he removed his headwrap and revealed his face for a few seconds; it was... [Redacted]. The man showed him his license, admitting that only one person had seen it prior (that person being a SWAT member). The two conversated for a while. Frank updated him on everything that had happened in his life post-Rooks, and how he was approached to join the Dojin-Kai. [Redacted] expressed how he felt about Frank being with another family, but was glad to see him happy. It was agreed that a 'business alliance' would be struck between their organisations, where the Dojin-Kai would be supplied with heavy weaponry for less than street price. The bulk of the conversation will remain confidential. Frank would continue to meet regularly with the man in the following months, against the demand of his High Command, discussing the current climate of the city. Frank would keep the man updated on the internal and diplomatic affairs of the Dojin-Kai. There was even a period where Frank's phone was enabled to occasionally see details of compromised shipments ordered by other gangs Chapter 3 | War... again The Dojin-Kai were at a drug lab collecting weed plants, as they often did, when all of a sudden they were hit by Aztecas, resulting in a gunfight. This came as a shock, especially considering the family was collecting plants for the tax; this put the Dojin-Kai back into war with the council. The Dojin-Kai would come to ally with Narcos, a crew that now consisted of old Narcos members, Void members and anyone with hatred for the council. The allied forces would wear the colour red, often with a clown mask, and the warfare was different this time; it was characterised by ambushes, HQ raids and skirmishes. Continuous attempts to reach out to Jay Gamble and Bruce Wong proved unsuccessful, it seemed like their gangs only wanted to fight rather than solve matters diplomatically. The conflict lasted for a while, although the council did eventually agree to talk. Discussions were had with the council, they did not see themselves at fault for the prior conflict, and insisted this was another 'mistake' of the Dojin-Kai in their books. They claimed that the previous tax did not exempt the Dojin-Kai from getting hit, and that the organisation was not paying for neutrality, they were paying as a 'punishment'. New terms were brought forward: they demanded $1,500,000 again, 600 drugs every two months ((weeks)) and withdrawal from Paleto Bay or the handing over of Koi. The Dojin-Kai was given 24 hours to either accept the terms or come up with a counter-offer. Soon enough, higherups had agreed to counter with the following terms: $300,000 a month for 10 months ((weeks)), withdrawal from Paleto Bay and the 600 drugs every two months. The council surprisingly agreed to this, adding the following terms: laptop items were only to be purchased from them, and no contact was to be maintained with Ash's Crew or Dmitri, who they suspected of still being around. James Sakamoto's relationship with Dmitri Leroy was brought into question, although he made sure to emphasise that no relationship outside of the gun deals ever existed between Dmitri and the Dojin-Kai. It was made clear that Dmitri is not around anymore. Chapter 4 | A brighter future? The Dojin-Kai was easily reaching their goal of 600 drugs and were enjoying their 10 months of neutrality. Additionally, they were starting to build positive relations with the council, and were commended regularly on their progress by them. The only problem that ever presented itself to the Dojin-Kai was that Narcos were now labelling them as traitors... this was not an issue. The Dojin-Kai were mainly building relations with Triads, which was boosted by their liking for Stephen Laurie. The family would often provide backup to the council, one time assisting with a large-scale shootout with SWAT at Murda Block HQ. The organisations were meeting every month to hand over the taxes and discuss progress; everyone was happy. The Dojin-Kai also began developing their aligment with Murda Block, a new gang led by Lance Slash comprising of mainly ex-WCA members. Murda Block were also attempting to establish neutrality with the council, although this would prove difficult due to the fact that the gang was largely reminiscent of the West Coast Assassins. Murda Block were frequently invited to Koi for training and social gatherings, as were the council; oddly enough, Lex Roth was also invited to take part in martials arts in Koi. The Dojin-Kai were even beginning to fight, intimidate and collect taxes from smallers gangs such as Whyos, The Reapers and the Brotherhood, which gave them more than enough cash a month to pay the tax to the council. All was going perfect for the family, and Frank had even been promoted to Honbucho. Recruitment was increasing, and the Dojin-Kai were slowly becoming a large and impactful force in Los Santos Criminals had discovered a new way to make cash and shoot upon the LSPD: robbing bank! The Dojin-Kai would perform multiple bank robberies, the majority of them being successful, resulting in a hefty payout for the family. This also helped improve relations with the council, as it proved the competence of the Dojin-Kai. Despite the continued success of the Dojin-Kai, is was becoming apparent that they could not rely on their High Command, as they were rarely in town, and when they were, bad decisions were made. For this reason, higherups such as Renzo, Stephen and Frank took matters into their own hands to call meetings and conduct diplomacy. Chapter 5 | Downfall of the Dojin-Kai War time again *sighs*. To the surprise of quite literally everyone, Los Zetas suddenly decided to disband. Calls were instantly made to Triads and Aztecas to make sure that their relationships with the Dojin-Kai stayed as they were. Bruce Wong gave word to Stephen that they would remain neutral, although they would begin 'pressuring' Murda Block. The Dojin-Kai and Murda Block met to discuss their relationship, and Frank had set up a meeting with Alicia Rodriguez to ensure continued neutrality. All this was happening because ex-Zetas had decided to begin a rampage, hunting Dojin-Kai and Murda Block throughout Los Santos; this was expected to only last a few days until they got bored. Triads hit Murda Block at Koi, much to the Disdain of James and Jake Sakamoto, who both decided to send the Dojin-Kai into a third and final war before even meeting with Aztecas... against the suggestion of Stephen and Frank. This so-called resistance against the council saw the allied forces wearing green once again, and the inclusion of multiple smaller gangs. The fighting went on for about a month before a decision was made by multiple higherups... a decision to leave the Dojin-Kai. High Command were rarely present during the conflict, so it was up to Stephen to call a meeting. Frank, Stephen, Dara and Isaac stepped forward to announce their intention to quit to Dojin-Kai. They expressed how they felt that their High Command had abandoned them after forcing them into an avoidable war; this was the end for the Dojin-Kai. The four of them immediately went to change out of colours and said goodbye to their family. Chapter 6 | The Daichead Gadai The four of them changed the colours of their cars (all to orange for some reason) and travelled to Triads HQ, where they spoke to Bruce Wong and informed him of their decision to leave the Dojin-Kai; they were met with support. They later went and spoke to Collie Fegan about starting a new Irish gang, as Collie had once been a part of the Irish Mob, and it had been his intention for a while to make a new version. Bruce Wong was also present at the meeting, and after about an hour of debate, they settled on a name: The Daichead Gadai. All who joined the Gadai were to have an Irish name and be of white ethnic origin; furthermore, Frank changed his name to Jake Connolly and once again got plastic surgery, reverting back to how he first looked. Ever since, the Gadai have been prospering, developing a powerful alignment and friendship with the Triads, and slowly recruiting more members. Jake Connolly is currently in prison after being extradited to the United Kingdom for his role in the shipping of heavy weaponry to the Irish Republican Army.

If people are robbing you for the colour of your car, then you can always report it

I've been thinking this lately and I agree 100%. Realistically, a cop is NOT going to shoot you for changing frequency. It's not something thay warrants lethal force (same applies to many situations in this server where cops decide to shoot). A criminal does not care about keeping you alive or arresting you, therefore being shot is absolutely something they can threaten for changing freqencies. You failed to present an argument here? This attitude is very reductionist and completely negates the difference between cop and crim roleplay. The motivations for actions and the actions performed are completely different. Changing your frequency with 8 cops around you isn't ignoring you, it's making sure the freq isn't compromised, and your allies aren't caught, at the expense of bringing on charges of failure to comply/obstruction of justice. NO cop would realistically begin firing upon a suspect for changing frequency, it's simply not something that happens. If you start shooting, then that really shows you're not here to RP. Accusing crims of having a winning mentality is ironic for a cop lol. The situation I just described would not be a complete win for the criminal, because any time a crim makes PD's job harder ICly, or even dares to argue his case, they get charged stacked to oblivion. This is just Curtins expressing his IC personality. He's unarmed and surrounded by SWAT, he poses no threat to any of you, do you feel it would be realistic and good RP to shoot him for refusing to get in the car (which, I must add, is an IC thing, hence the 'failure to comply' charge). The option to rp dragging him into the cruiser was always there, or maybe you just want to stay there swinging about your heavy weapons? Beating Curtins almost to death with a baton would most definitely be corruption, which requires ooc permissions as you well know. I fail to see your point here. Pulling out the micro on an unarmed man was very poor RP, unless you have ooc corruption permissions and are tryna play pvp simulator. I agree with everything @cheatonus and @NM369 said

Yes. That is literally the purpose of the hostage as a human shield, to protect us, but apparently winning is so important to PD that the best option was to spray down the whole gaff

Will respond to @ClankH when I wake up

It was a bottom ranking Dojin-Kai member, not a "well known gang member" like ghost or Mike. Chat shit. Either way, he was unarmed, your aim should always be to subdue perps with a minimal amount of casualties.

+1 Why should cops fear for their lives, their weapons, their vehicles or their colleagues when they can simply /pw to get unlimited weapons and /fspawn to get a fresh cruiser? If guns were lootable, then maybe cops would put more thought into the items they take out of the armoury for basic patrols, as well as actually being tactical about the situations they choose to intervene in, instead of simply bumrushing 20 criminals with like 2 officers, knowing full well that neither them nor the department will take any hit to its resources or (non-existant) budget. The way that guns aren't lootable from cops seems like an OOC restriction on something that makes a lot of sense IC. If cops don't want their carbines taken, then maybe they should be more cautious with their approach to law enforcement. Why do we pay taxes if that money isn't actually used IC? Seems pointless to me, although it would make a lot more sense if that money went towards the police budget. PD could then have resource managers that are in charge of ordering weaponry and vehicles; with heavier equipment requiring High Command approval to be taking out of the armoury. Additionally, I believe that PD needs to start acting in a more realistic manner, because currently they behave however they want, and then when you call them out on it, they simply say '/b thats IC' or '/b file an IA report'. There's nothing fair oocly and icly about cops ramming you and then having the nerve to arrest you for it, or for them to randomly stop you in the middle of the street to ask if you have a license for the gun on your back. As for the times we have to spend in DOC, I don't believe the solution is to lower the times, but rather there should be more to actually do in prison rather than standing there for hours watching netflix or getting punched by new players Another thing is the way in which cops will take everything off your person and out of your car, simply to despawn it in the back of their cruiser. This is absolutely unnecessary and enforces the winning mentality that so many cops have on Eclipse. I know that cops don't have to spare a penny for their equipment, but the rest of us do, so that must be taken in consideration. PD vehicles are currently overpowered. How is it realistic that a shitty Queen Vic can do 240 on a highway, traverse every terrain, whilst A 20mil+ supercar cannot? This could be solvable by removing the 240kmh speed limit, or lowering the speed of PD vehicles. This is similar to my suggestion about the PD budget, but also why does it make sense that cops are regularly seen driving around on drag bikes and in supercars? Realistically, a police budget would not stretch that far, nor would commercial vehicles like those every be approved for use by Law Enforcement TL;DR, my suggestions Cops should be lootable for their weapons There should be a budget system, using player-paid taxes, for government departments to order equipment There needs to be more ooc regulations on how cops conduct themselves. Not everything they do is ICly solvable Prison needs improving for it to be more immersive Cops shouldn't be able to simply take all your possessions and despawn them PD vehicles need a nerf Winning mentalities should never be welcome on this server

Good luck boys, seen some good shit from Murda!

Recent kidnappings As of late, The Dojin-Kai have been partaking in the kidnappings of those they deem to have disrespected the family, following the same methods used in the kidnappings of Green Taxi. The Dojin-Kai does not take lightly to petty thieves and those who badmouth the organisation, and individuals caught actively disrespecting the family have been dealt with accordingly. As per tradition, a steel Yakuza blade is used to slice of the fingers of those who believe it necessary to take what is not theirs, or speak ill of those who have done them no harm. Said individuals are taken to a building that was formerly used as a HQ for [redacted]; it is perfect for teaching a harsher form of discipline to people outside of the family, as it contains a deep basement filled to the brim with chemicals and devious instruments. scenic not so scenic I did promise chemicals This man's gang took some firearms from the family. silly folks. After negotiations, the return of three .50's and one assault rifle, the hostage was handed over. This man was appropriately named 'baghead' As promised, fingers were removed Baghead was lead outside for his execution Time to say goodbye The family watched in terror as the man writhed around in the fire like a demon ((all parties consented to the rp seen in these photos))
