(Main Thread) 11/07/2021 East Side Locos (Stories) 15/07/2021 Trouble in the Barrio 16/07/2021 All in a days work (Character Stories)

East side Locos formerly originated from Los Santos Vagos the original and first Hispanic gang in Los Santos. Due to their success and the streets of the Rancho being protected by Vagos, money began rolling in and business began picking up with more loyal Vagos' joining the brotherhood. Vagos were stuck in their bubble and needed to expand, but didn't have the leadership nor gut to expand and create a large crime network within the streets. This was when Angelo and Jimmi made the bold move to adapt and expand to larger things, with the backing of private unknown mafia organizations within Los Santos, money became something common to East side Locos. After a few weeks of the move and transition it started getting spread around the streets that the Locos were east of Rancho, which brought unwanted attention to the area, however, Angelo was determined to keep his turfs on lock down not giving other street groups a "sniff". Angelo decided the Locos wouldn't just be a normal gang, but the only and biggest Hispanic street gang in the city which filled the members with confidence. Locos began drifting away from the traditions of Vagos and adapted to all the changes in the city, however wouldn't forget there core fundamentals what were: Catholicism, disputes with other street gangs that contested them and the network of drug and gun trafficking. Since the inception of Locos Angelo and Jimmi have strived to keep the "crazy nature" and hard headedness of Vagos and to keep it within the values of Locos. As each day pass Locos are adapting there network to be more commercial than just the east streets of Los Santos and to perhaps expand into the city showing there strength. The tough life of a Loco isn't something to be taken lightly and the commitment over the past weeks since Inceptions are what keeps the Locos together and helps them to move from strength to strength. Dealing within the backstreets of Los Santos, especially the east of the city has been critical to the success and something Locos are very protective about letting smaller groups advances on there territory. -Locos respect the previous lifestyle greatly and pay homage to their past life a lot, this could include returning to the Rancho and appreciated the artwork they had created. The tradition of the colour yellow will always be respected by the Locos and never replaced, as the brothers before they had died wearing these colours. Appearance to the rival street gangs is extremely important due to their nature to show power and strength in colours. -Also, respecting the Mexican culture that has run through this group for centuries is critical for the Locos, and showing off their nation with pride is important for status within the streets. -Keeping our business under wraps is important to Locos, however, when contested they will go in and attack head-on due to their aggressive nature. - Gain a ferrous representation within the city of Los Santos. - Locate a street where Locos can live and purchase multiple properties. - Achieve 30+ plus members to join the brother hood. -Create a network of drug/weapon trafficking within the city. - Be an individual group and not reliant on anyone else. -Achieve cartel connections to increase East side Locos network and turfs even more. - Events to be run every week. IC: - Must be known within the city of Los Santos as a hardened criminals who knows there stuff. - Be prepared to not expect promotions, and work for the gang not the rank. - Be stable enough to afford there own stuff without needing the gangs help. - Listening to high command is critical and any disrespect will be a instant removal of the brotherhood. OOC: -Must understand the fundamentals of a Hispanic gang and follow to accordance the roleplay type you should portray. -Must have knowledge of all eclipse rules and are able to keep updated within any new changes within the community. -Turn up to OOC meetings and take on advice and notes given out by high command. IC Requirements: -The recruitment process of becoming a Loco is tough and will have to prove your criminal knowledge and ability multiple times within the recruitment process. -Must swear there life to the life of a Loco and commit everything they have to the life style. -Has to be recommended by a Street Loco or up to be even considered into the gang. - Adapt to the new life style and is capable to be a individual with the group as well as a brother. -Communication is critical when joining the Locos! OOC Requirements: -At least 50,000 XP is required to join (This includes ALTs). -No serious punishments within the last 20 days. -Show a high roleplay standard, including providing immersive roleplay for others. There are 2 sides to the clothing in Locos, as its important to not mix between each type for certain tasks. The street clothing shows what the Locos look like when there chilling and rolling around the East of Los Santos. Locos main aim is to lay low and blend in when around their Hood without causing too much attention as this would affect their business drastically. The casual yellow clothing is something common when looking for a Locos on the street. The next clothing is focused for public events and meetings between other gangs, Locos have to respect the jacket due to it being passed down from the Vagos days. The tiger represents the crazy and wildness of the Locos which is represented in the emblem and clothing they wear to meetings. Each rank has specific roles inside them that splits up the workload to reduce the pressure of the Captains. Located in Fudge lane, Eastside Locos call this their home and where the base of their operations is. With many locos living down this street, this will be a fortress and is very important to the Loco's core values. Locos are extremely protective about this street and will do whatever they can to keep the east of Los Santos in lockdown. Trafficking drugs/weapons out of this area will be the main goal for Angelo and Jimmy with many members setting up in small passages around the street. With the High Command managing to buy some of the properties it has given the opportunity for Locos to take over for street and assert dominance on this turf. Please feel free to comment any support or comments on this gang (Always up for cool new ideas)

Feel free to add any pictures of RP you have done with Angelo Capone on this thread

+1, Still relevant especially since the recent disbanding of factions, i feel like its the perfect time (I understand updates can take awhile to develop) to implement some of these suggestions to bring some life back into criminal RP. Not sure if a criminal update is in the works but some of these suggestions should defo be considered!

I like the idea of a towing company as it would help out mechanics a lot and save time on the customers side. I would say creating an faction for this would be too much for such a restricted job and perhaps many hours of just no calls. I think having it as a freelance job would be great where a person could spawn a tow truck and collect the cars and drop them off at a mechanic bay. This would be a great chance for player who grind freelance jobs to have some interactions with people and perhaps some RP. If anyone has any suggestions on improving my concept feel free to quote me

With regards to the supers topic, I have to agree with Destuin with part of his argument. Even though it is hard to achieve access to the vehicle i have seen on multiple occasions supers cruising around and performing routine traffic stops. I think the system to achieve them is put in place well, but perhaps a limit to how often they could be used would be nice as it feels very unrealistic a super just casually driving round the streets doing traffic stops.

Appreciate the hardwork from everyone within this faction Im glad this isnt the end and were moving it to somewhere else.

Phase 2 After many months of working with his Underlord and High council, the shock of the departure of his inner circle impacted Angelo massive. Losing his great friends and partners in crime meant a lot to Angelo and left him unsure of what to do next due to having a mass departure in MS-13. However, the support of Toon, Vincent, and Lena gave Angelo motivation to keep MS-13 running and push harder than ever to make the gang the best it can be. This means a restructure in the gang; Angelo spent weeks locked in his house drafting up "Phase 2" of MS-13. Angelo knew this would be the final push for MS-13 and knew this would be the phase that could reach them the highest goals, but this work takes a long time to get to and Angelo wasn't willing to give up. Bringing structure into MS-13 was Angelo's main goal and also to involve everyone in the gang. This meant involving New gangsters to OG's and Angelo wanted to show more change and remove the mistakes from Los Angeles. Bringing more to MS-13 than just the gang life was important for Angelo this is why he had brought in systems that would make time for Events, parties, and activities that could bring in some teamwork. Angelo hoped this would bring in a positive attitude to his gang and form a close bond with all the members. "Phase 2" had been operating for months now and the gang has been thriving more and more every day. Angelo has increased his wealth and purchased many properties and heavy weapons to protect MS-13 from any attacks. With the partnership of Toon Kamal and Vincent Maxwell, Angelo knew they would be unstoppable and would achieve their goals! Giving out roles within the gang was a challenge as Angelo needed to make sure he was gifting certain people the right promotions without causing issues in MS-13. The strong bond within the inner circle has become pivotal for Angelo as it has removed responsibility away from him, as others have been stepping up and taking on larger roles for maximum growth. Due to the large influx of people, Angelo has been busier than ever, with members needing more and more shipments and drugs. Angelo hasn't shied away from this and is still pushing for the direct connection to the cartel hoping the recent contact and messages from them have left them in good standings. Angelo Capone has become a larger and more well-known name in the city day by day, however, Angelo isn't going to stop there and has bigger ambitions to grow himself and MS-13 to even bigger heights!

Phase 2 After many months of Property Hunting MS-13 had still been looking for that perfect property to host parties and have a safe place for members to come and chill out. As the middlemen of Los Santos MS-13 believed both Grapeseed and Sandyshores would be the best place to look for a property that would be large enough to fit us all in. Angelo had called up a few of his contacts trying to get in contact with the house owners of the larger houses in sandy shores. Saturday had hit and a large property in Sandyshores had become available and Angelo knew this would be the perfect location due to it being near the lake meaning once MS-13 purchase a boat to travel between Grapeseed and SandyShores. After an agreement had been settled with the owner and Angelo had finally managed to get the keys to the place and start the preparation and modification of the property. The high command spent the rest of the day preparing the house for a massive gang party that night after a large meeting at the Arcade in Grapeseed. Not many members knew about the party house due to the secrecy of the inner circle so once it was revealed many members were happy to see progression within the gang and the advancement into sandy to secure the middle of Los Santos. Once everyone had arrived Toon set up the DJ stand and began the party with everyone from MS-13 surrounding the grass patch at the side of the house. The party lasted all night with some locals from Sandy and even Grapeseed popping by to check out the new house and party. MS-13 are finally seeing their final goals insight and are ready to bring more life into Grapeseed and SandyShores.

Phase 2 Another week had passed since the last event hosted by MS-13 and Angelo and his inner circle began planning the next one what would be contender racing around Grapeseed. This would be a relay race to show who the drivers are within MS-13, as Angelo wanted to test his members to see who he could rely on in a race. It had hit Wednesday night and the message had gone around that the event would be tonight, this got many members excited and ready to compete! Angelo and the inner circle set a prize pool of over 40k for the winners to try and bring to competitive spirit to Grapeseed and the event. Many locals surrounded the area cheering on their favourite team. Round 1 was very simple... 4 people in 1 car, with each person having to complete 1 lap. Each team faced each other once and it was extremely tight with everyone ending up on the same points. This led to a sudden death where Angelo decided that they would just do 1 lap with their best drivers to see who would come out on top. Once the semi-finals were decided and the 2 teams were ready the penultimate race was ready to start. The race had started off slow due to cops catching onto the event, however, this didn't stop them and the winners narrowly won and progressed into the finals. The final 4 were then split into 2 teams ready for the final race and the 2 winners to be crowned Contender Kings Of Grapeseed. The locals loved this race and many comments came back to the high command that we should do similar events again, and perhaps next time there will be drinks and music involved! The final race began... it was neck and neck until the final lap of Grapeseed where Hugo and Rock narrowly edged forward giving them just enough to win the prize! This was a huge win for both as this was their first-ever event win and also the payment and street cred in Grapeseed was a great bonus! The arcade had never seen this amount of people in a long time and Angelo was extremely happy with the event and how they are being organised. Next time the plans will slowly grow until these events start attracting wide public attention giving MS-13 a steady flow of profit. Until next time Angelo closed down the arcade and left it ready for the next event...

Phase 2 Monday night had hit and Angelo believed it was time for MS-13 to step it up and show the law enforcement the capabilities of his High Command. With the help of Toon and Vincent the plan to rob a bank was set in place, however, this wasn't going to be any bank like they had done before with more members this was going to be a hostage situation where they would have to negotiate with the LSPD to gain rights of free passage... Specially chosen by Angelo, Berry and Rock both joined in with the operation as they had experience in bank robberies, but just not in the depth Angelo had planned. Many of Angelos's friends had told him that the hostage situation never works and requires teamwork and skilled gangsters, this is why Angelo choose this team as well as finding a hostage offering him a small cut to be a hostage. Angelo briefly told the hostage what he would be doing and then sent the hostage away while he discussed the grand plan with the members doing the operation with him. The plan was to hold the hostage at gunpoint while Vincent would negotiate with the police detective and the actual leader Angelo would be taking all the money with Toon. This confused the police department, however, they still knew that they would come out of this with all the money saved and all the gangsters caught. Vincent managed to discuss a right of passage for both cars, however, would have to risk imprisonment due to him having to stay behind. Angelo knew the LSPD would not respect the demands so once all the money was collected and the cars had free passage they thought they were free, but a loud helicopter noise came from above both cars... Angelo knew the LSPD would do this, so plan B was activated where Toon would let Angelo out in an area the cops wouldn't find him. This worked as all the cops kept chasing Toon, but Angelo was safe with all the money without a single cop noticing. The LSPD still believed that their money was in Berrys, Rocks, and Toons bags, however, Angelo had outsmarted them and made sure it was only secured to him and that he would get away with it all and the others would be eventually caught. Vincent, Berry, Rock, and Toon were all caught and locked up with big fines, however with many days of laying low Angelo had all the money and had to somehow get back to the safe house without being spotted. This took many days of traveling, however by going through all the offroad tracks and alleyways he managed to secure all the money with only a small percentage being lost due to Toon being caught. This left the police department confused about where all the money went and very annoyed due to the massive loss of the main fleeca bank being successfully robbed. Angelo was proud of his High command and other members who took part, as this was very well executed and nearly went exactly to plan. Weeks later Angelo managed to talk to all the local dealers and take sell throughout the whole city helping his allianced Gangs out a lot.

+1 Would be cool if we could interact to an NPC in the bank to perhaps find out if its available to be hit, as it seems pretty unrealistic to be able to check the front desk door and the safe door when there is "people inside".

Phase 2 The Mud Wrestling championships for the Grapeseed Belt were up for grabs for the first time! MS-13s main goal was to bring some more events to Grapeseed and attract the locals to the event. Lead by Vincent Maxwell the Championship consisted of most of the MS-13 members with a few outsiders who wanted to participate and watch. The first rounds would be in the muddy fields of Grapeseed where they would have to prove there self and make it to the Grand Final... Located in a large empty farming container. The first few rounds were very dirty with Rock Miller pulling off a narrow win against James who had a valiant effort and was close to moving onto the next round. The next few rounds were tight, however, had clear winners and were raring to prove themselves to Angelo and the High Command for potential promotions and the Grapeseed Belt. After the first round, it attracted the attention of the police department who investigated the area and made sure this was running okay and everyone was happy with attending this event. Rounds were finished and the final two wrestlers who had defeated everyone else had made it to the final and will fight in the main arena. Everyone crowded around the edge of the arena and Vincent and Rock lined up ready to fight. Angelo counted down the fight and watched over the fight to make sure no foul play would occur as this was a high-stakes event with a lot of bragging rights for the winner. The fight had started and it was looking very even until Vincent dodge a take-down move from Rock and counteracted it with a takedown. Rock struggled to move and Vincent had him in a hold that would win the fight for Vincent, Angelo presented the Grapeseed belt to Vincent and assert dominance from the High Command of MS-13. After all the wrestling Angelo invited everyone back to the arcade/HQ to have a small party. Toon plugged in his phone to the car speakers and began the party as a celebration for Vincents win and success of MS-13 over the past few weeks. MS-13 were extremely happy with how the event went and was excited for the future of the gang and have many more plans to bring life to the streets of Grapeseed

Phase 2 Phase 2 had already commenced and due to the number of changes MS-13 had to go through it was believed that Angelo should perhaps prove himself as a leader! Angelo wanted to assert his dominance as the leader of MS-13. A small fire pit on the lakes of Grapeseed was the perfect spot as Grapeseed was the gang's home. Angelo invited a few MS-13 members to the sandy lakeside near the edge of Grapeseed's main road and told them to sit by the campfire. Even though, it seemed quite peaceful Angelo knew what would need to be done to show his resilience and dedication to the gang. Once the members caught onto what Angelo was planning, there was a slight pause, and unsure whether this was a wise choice. Nevertheless, they seemed to take Angelo's word and let him prepare for this bizarre event that had not cause such public attention for a long time! It had felt life was being brought to Grapeseed as crowds of MS-13 supporters crowded in Grapeseed ready to see this spectacle... Step by Step, Angelo carefully walked over the campfire but started feeling a tingle sensation around his feet. He ignored this at the start, but the heat started seeping through the soles of his feet and caused Angelo to dance around on his tiptoes. Many members laughed as Angelo isn't known for running such speeds. After the spectacle was done Angelo felt a sense of accomplishment and pride as he had brought the people of Grapeseed together and is hoping the future can be bright for both MS-13 and the people of Los Santos! After an Eventful night Angelo invited the rest of the MS-13 boys to the bridge in Grapeseed for a small party and fish, as they had been working extremely hard with the on goings of MS-13 and all the tasks that are needed to be done on a day to day basis.

Phase 1 MS-13 is now a well-respected street gang and most criminals know them. Rumours started spreading round of a potential wedding that could take place on Friday. This would be between Lena and Vincent, both well-respected members of MS-13. Lena's idea for the wedding was to keep it as traditional as possible and also inviting some very old friends that were legal citizens. Angelo made the wise decision to wear smart clothes and try to hide so any suspicious cops driving past would not suspect anything. Angelo invited the groom to a clothing store as well as the other members ready to sort out the clothing for the wedding. It was then decided pink blazers would be worn from all MS-13 members with exceptions from the priest Vikstav who was going to lead the ceremony. Even though the blazers were expensive Angelo treated the gang to it. MS-13 wasn't used to high-quality clothes and wanted to get back into the MS-13 clothing, but knew Vinny wanted to make sure the wedding would go to plan so we took the hit and wore suits to the wedding. After all the clothing was sorted for the wedding Vinny invited everyone to the stag do what was very normal to MS-13 (Running labs and cooking drugs). Just because MS-13 had to adapt for this very legal wedding Angelo knew it was the only way unless we would want other gangs or the law enforcement to come and wreck this special moment. The next day would be the wedding day...

Phase 1 A few months had gone by and Angelo and VikStav have kept closed doors for high command positions, however as the gang was growing and numbers started increasing the upkeep of the gang became harder for just the two of them. Even though there had been one high command from the start who was LJ, Angelo still believed he would need 2 more members to complete the inner circle! Angelo and Vikstav took months to decide the correct people for the job. They were mainly looking for a head arms dealer who would take control of all weapons and shipments dealing between other gangs and MS-13. They also were looking for a Head Commander who could lead large operations and would have a level head when dealing with potential fights. The Head Arms dealer was appointed to Vincent Maxwell, this was based on the logical and quick thinking approach Vincent brought to the gang. Angelo and Vikstav felt that he would bring a lot to the inner circle and take the pressures of Angelo when it comes to shipments for the whole gang. Even though Vincent's quick rise up the ranks may bring doubts to some members but the high command believed this was overruled by the effort and loyalty Vincent has put into the gang. The head commander is a very important role in the gang as it is an enforcer role that leads all operations. Angelo and Vikstav had to make sure they choose the right person for this role as people would need to respect and perhaps fear him. It was decided that Toon Kamal would become the new Head Commander of MS-13 and he would lead most operations depending on if Angelo was taking it or not. Toon Kamal was a trusted member of MS-13 and when the promotion came to the inner circle there was no surprise in MS-13 that he had ranked up this much. The inner is now ready and prepared for what's next to come, and hopefully, the decisions made by Angelo, Vikstav, and LJ are the right ones and will lead MS-13 into the future. As of now Angelo would not need to deal with a lot of the gang's issues but split it between the inner circle so there would be roles that could focus on certain tasks and make sure they are done properly.

Phase 1 On a sunny day in May Angelo and MS-13 were ready to take on the next step of making money for the gang. This was a job that required careful planning and consideration a this could end up in a long prison sentence for a lot of MS-13. Even though most members had already robbed banks before Angelo knew this would still be a challenge due to the nature of how banks are and how easily people can make mistakes. The time eventually came and Angelo started giving out roles to certain members... The destination was route 68! A bank Angelo knew inside out and he knew MS-13 could pull this off if we all just worked as a team and cooperated. After the roles were given out Angelo decided to send the scout out first and prepare in position, this was an extremely important role, and only trusted MS-13 members could pull this off. After the coast was clear Angelo instructed everyone to a place near the bank to use as a gateway route, this is where they parked all their bikes ready to evade any cops that would potentially see them. Once the coast was clear again Angelo began the operation and everyone began running into the bank with guns pointed at anyone that was in there Angelo began the process of knocking out the cashiers and drilling the final volt door! As soon as the large metal door swung open MS-13 rolled in ready to grab as much cash as possible, strangely after a few minutes, there were still no calls for cops. This gave Angelo and the crew time to completely clean the whole bank out of its money! Once the call for cops had been said over the radio it was instructed by the inner circle to get out of the bank as soon as possible and get away. A few hours of laying low happened after this operation... this gave us time to stay under the radar and prepare to be all of the money and distribute it out to the gang! That evening Angelo collected all the money and spent the whole night laundering the money to anyone that would take it, this includes many areas in the city and Paleto! After all the money was washed Angelo paided the scouts some cash and distributed all the money out to all of the members. This boosted the gang's morale and made MS-13 more ambitious to take on such big operations in the future!

Phase 1 The increasing demand for weapons, due to the rapid growth of MS-13 had forced Angelo into the mass orders of weaponry, this included many .50s to shotguns, SMGs, and AKs. Angelo knew exactly who would be the right be for the job! Known as Big Jawn the head of arms for Lost MC was the right man for the job, so Angelo approached him as there was a discussion of prices and the amount that was wanted to be ordered. After the meeting, it was settled that MS-13 would mainly go through Lost MC for weapons, and also a respectable price was negotiated. The first-ever order made by MS-13 was quite a large one so when Angelo approached Big Jawn a time was set to pick up the large order. This prompted Angelo to gather up a team of 6 MS-13s members ready to support him in the collection of all the weaponry. Tuesday had hit and Big Jawn messaged Angelo to meet at the bank to hand over the large sum of cash. This was done as discreetly as possible to avoid suspicions from the general public. Once the transaction was done Big Jawn told Angelo a location to meet later that night. Tuesday night had hit and it was time to collect the order, this would need to go perfect for there to be no issues. Angelo and his crew reach the organised location and were greeted with Big Jawn and a few other Lost MC members. Angelo knew that the time had come to do the transfer and attempt to get back these large containers safely! The drive back could have gone much better... As when leaving the location a flurry of cop cars came chasing down the highway. Was this us being busted... Keeping our head down and to the speed limit kept the cop's suspicions away and helped us to finally reach the safe house where we secured all of the weapons. Angelo then spent the rest of the night delivering all of the firearms to each member in the safest way possible. Due to the success of the first order, Big Jawn and Angelo set up a deal where this would occur a few times a week and hopefully will all run smoothly like the first time. Months later the friendship between MS-13 and Lost MC has never been greater, and MS-13 has also explored options with other gangs, however, have been specifically ordering certain shipments with certain gangs.

Love the thread and enjoy the RP with you guys!

Phase 1 On a sunny Monday afternoon, the day had come… The EVENT! This was going to be one of MS-13’s biggest meetups, yet alone the fact that it was their first Event! The initial preparations for the Event took place the night before where Angelo Capone called upon all the members of MS-13 to come to the HQ and discuss the event and the roles that would be given out to each member. The event would go as follows, Angelo Capone would send invites out to all his friendly gangs that he was cool with, this included Goblins, 67, Kudo Kai, Lost MC and other small gangs that wanted to participate. It would be then discussed that the prize pool would be 50k with a 1k racing entry fee. Yes… The main event was a BF400 backstreet race around Grapeseed. We thought this could bring back some much needed life to Grapeseed as well as to show off our ideas and future plans of the broken down arcade in Grapeseed. Preparation day was over and Monday had hit, the time for the event was nearing! Angelo and Vikstav began stressing about the event due to the amount of interest there was about an MS-13 event in Grapeseed! Invitation were all given out and now that was left to do was wait for the event time… 30 minutes left before the event and Angelo has gathered most of MS-13 to turn up to the event and prepare the BF400s and the DJ stand ready for a hopefully good night in Grapeseed. The event had started and Angelo was astonished by the turn out by all of the gangs that were invited. It really showed Angelo that MS-13 was here to stay and his fellow friends were here to support him along the way. The event was split into 3 races and then a final for the 50K cash prize. There was much interest in this race as the brackets were full to the brim of racers! The brackets looked as follows: The first race the winner was Gorg Borg, however there had been many rumours going about that his BF400 had vehicle modifications, due to this being an illegal race Angelo and VikStav took a blind eye at the obvious cheating going on around the main event. The second race was a close one, however, Benjamin Spliff came out on top and progressed to the next round! As the second round was finishing there were Cops pulling up to Grapeseed, however, they had no chance; we all surrounded them in a peaceful protest to prevent them from shutting down the event. This did not stop them soon after more and more Cop cars started to appear, this did not faze Angelo as he knew the 40+ people who turned up were in support of this event and wouldn’t stand for this! This all changed,,, as the night darkened at the clouds started to cover the street a Grapeseed. Angelo knew something was about to happen but he wasn't sure quite what it was! ‘Thud... Thud’ Yes the SWAT has arrived… The police megaphone shouted ‘Disperse the crowd now or you will be arrested’, there was an uproar that LSPD were disperse the crowd that wasn't causing a commotion or issues within Grapeseed. This disheartened Angelo greatly… After all this hard work and MS-13s Event would just be closed down right as we were getting to the finals. Nevertheless, the event was a great success as it brought the most ever people to Grapeseed and brought life to a dead farming town. The backstreets were full of illegal on goings while the event was running. Even Angelo was planning illegal meetings and other on goings as a way to get these discussions out of the way while everyone was distracted. As the night ended so did the party.... Even Though LSPD ended the event there was still a massive buzz and smile from all of MS-13’s members as we had completed our mission as well as keeping in contact with all the contestants that didn't race and were willing to finish the race off privately to make sure the cash prize was given out!

Phase 1 HQ has been located and the backstreets of Grapeseed are now MS-13's, with the hard work of the gang and the absence of business owners it has given MS-13 the chance to hold there initiations at the New HQ! After Angelo had confirmed to MS-13 that Joe Simmons had been promoted to the Gangster role it was then time for the most painful and sacrificial moment of his life. The Gang Initiation... This wasn't as simple as just tattooing the skull on his back, it required one of the High Council to personally do it himself. Angelo had decided to let Toon Kamal a new Prospect High Council do the job and to see if he has what it takes to inflict this much pain. Joe Simmons going into this initiation seemed unfazed, however, tears began dripping from his eyes and the gang knew that the initiation has started! Angelo knew Joe would be able to take the pain and become a full member of MS-13 and prove is loyalty to the gang. This was also a test for Toon Kamal as it was his first time doing the initiation, and Angelo was interested to see if he would have flashbacks to his own initiation and the pain that VikStav had done when he did the initiation. The initiation had finished and it was cause for celebrations! Not only had MS-13 successfully added another member to the gang, they had also located an HQ where they could successfully run operations through and provide gang meetings without having the issues of other rival gangs pulling up. Sadly, not all of MS-13 could make this initiation so a quick photo from our cameraman Vincent was sufficient enough to show our success!

Overhauled the post a few days ago, as well as added a backstory/explanation of the clothing we wear, along as why we choose Grapeseed and an update of activity within the area. Let me know what you guys think as I know there's been comments about clothing and location so I thought this would help and clear it up
