Hard +1 Is this a rule that might need some fine tuning! Absolutely, but genuinely, the fact that you can avoid demands so easily is insane.

Just wanted to way in on this. (And let me be clear! I understand what your saying and appreciate your opinion... This is not meant to be argumenative, just to debate). Good RP should be rewarded, especially if you want it to be the norm. It's Positive Reinforcement which psychology shows us is vastly important to keeping a behaviour that way. Just because we expect good rp doesn't mean that that is going to come. And what is expected really, is neutral RP with no rule breaks, GOOD RP is strong character development and interesting scenarios. People who aren't afraid to lose money or belongings for the sake of good rp. People who aren't in a win/lose mindset but unfortunately, that is the way a lot of people are. Is that bad rp? No! People put time and effort and want to keep what they worked for... but that's the difference between RP, and GREAT RP. A great RPer understands that fun scenarios doesn't mean winning, it means making interesting stuff happens! Who cares if you won a gun fight. Is that what you remember? No! It's why that gun fight happened. It's that dude who decided to steal a cab and take out the parts infront of the cab driver becuase he was homeless and needed cash! It's that guy who is speaking in an old man voice who is falling over because his bones hurt even if it means he caught by the police. Interesting characters, interesting scenarios... that breeds good rp. That should be rewarded! And honestly, an RP appreciation form, and hell, a couple credits for people who get it constantly from a wide variety of people never hurts!

Overview - It would be useful for people to have easier access to new forum posts that interest them. Whether its to see what a gang has been doing, to a suggestion they may want to +1. Who is the suggestion for? - Active players who use the forums (legal factions, illegal factions, suggestions, rp showcase, e.t.c.) Why is the suggestion being made? - I struggle to go on the forum myself to be honest, but I often frequent the discord. There has to be many players like this as well! People always leave discord up while they game, theres a reason crash reports go there and not the forum. This forum is a great place, but we need to bring people over to it by tying it to the discord server! What are the pros and/or cons of the suggestion? -Better vision of RP that is occurring in the city! More vision on things that are happening by various people in the city. More vision on suggestions. More vision on the forum! Happier Players that feel like great RP is happening! How should the suggestion be implemented? - Make a channel in the discord server called #forum-posts under the category General or Advertisements

It's been a while since ze last update. So what has DoubleDs has been up to since we last posted. Well it's been a lot of earning money to setup our actual business. Previously, we applied four our business licensing, but we actually got it approved. Afterwards though, in our last post, we came back with 3 main goals. 1. A physical location 2. A custom menu 3. Employees. Here is how that has gone. In our last post, we applied for a location located at 8 South Rockford Drive. We showed a picture of the exterior. Since then, we have waited a while and gone through all the government channels. We are proud to say that as of August 28th, it is officially OUR NEW HOME! Here is the contract: Yeah... it was expensive as hell. That's just the down payment, we still owe 2 million! But we hope to get there with the support of the community! We will be designing the interior soon, and planning a grand opening! But speaking of community outreach, lets look at our next topic on the docket! So we want to be a part of the community. We want to have a custom menu that people will enjoy. I hate to break the bad news but we still do not have a custom menu or menu art. Our menu art is currently being designed alongside a potential custom menu to pass through the government. But we have done 1 major initiative. Our Form! We are hoping to convince the government to let us open a food delivery wing with DoubleDs. And, to do this, we have created an interest form that the people of Los Santos can sign to say they would use our DoubleDash service! That form can be seen here: https://forms.gle/QtsSrEyjPkr9DPUD9 and has been being advertised by Weazel News! Currently, it has been signed by the following people: -Irene Lucia -Lucyna Kushinada -JT Westen -Cole Brooks -Seraphina Dupont -R. Storey -David Ortiz -J. Ortiz -Luda Pegassi -Carl Thisthon -Cliff Ryder -Cleo Lopez -Celeste Bulfinch -Andy Sheen -Echo Lin We have also received the following donations: Celeste Bullfinich - $25 000 Cleo Lopez - $10 000 Echo Lin - $1 500 These people help make DoubleDs possible and we are eternally greatful to all 15 signatures and 3 donations thus far. That being said, we aim to hit 75! If you want to be a part of that, simply sign the form! Our future with community outreach will involve a second form that asks if there are any specific dishes you would like to see. We also are looking for bands and comedians to perform at our restaurant! Now of course to do that, we need employees to run our restaurant! Now finally, we get to our employee goal. Well, DoubleDs is proud to announce our FIRST PARTNER! This man is... JT WESTEN! JT Westen will be our Chief Operations Officer for our delivery business. He is currently working on a pilots license so that we can airdrop food (and potentially other products) to Los Santos, as well as possessing both a driver and trucker license to deliver food by vehicle. He will be assisting with DoubleDash as well as our other service Doubois Deliveries. That being said, it is a long term goal to have them both run through the same app! Anyways, that is pretty well all we have from this section! We are currently looking for employees, but need to get fully setup first! So you ask, what are our future goals from this point. Well our next 3 goals are as follows: 1. Design interior of DoubleDs -This will include hiring an interior designer to build us a stage, as well as a flamboyant interior that can have guests feel like they are eating at Olympus... or atleast the best restaurant in Los Santos! 2. Prepare Custom Menu -This includes finding out what the people of Los Santos want to eat and having the art designed for the menus 3. Get 50-100 signatures on our interest form -This will help us bring DoubleDash to life.

There is a similar suggestion below but I think it needs to be addressed again. Who is the suggestion for? - New players and constant players alike Why is the suggestion being made? - I think morale on the server can be low sometimes, and especially new players who don't get to see intense roleplay off the bat. This will show them that there are a variety of good roleplay moments that happen day to day, and will make the community feel good by seeing a lot of it out there. What are the pros and/or cons of the suggestion? Pros: -Increases the chance of solid rp by giving people public acknowledgement of creating strong, fun, and inspiring roleplay scenarios -Shows new players the quality of RP happening on the server from day to day -Makes returning players who constantly bring good rp to the server feel good and rewarded for providing good rp -Boosts morale on the server as you always here about the negative rp and reports, but never about the good rp that are driving server life and activity. Cons -Could be a spammy channel -May see some players get glazed by their friends How will this affect players on ECLIPSE Roleplay? -I believe it will increase the likeliness of seeing good, strong RP, and take away some of the win/loss rp mentality we see from many players, especially on the crim side of life. How should the suggestion be implemented? - I believe that it would be beneficial to make a discord channel under general called #rp-appreciation that should have a format similar to the suggestion listed below. It should include the character name, their discord ID, the date, why you appreciated their RP. There could also be the option to include a link to a clip from the rp. and lets face it, new players are more likely to check the discord. Please +1 this if you think it's a good idea!

BETTING GAME IDEAS FOR DIAMOND CASINO -Ride the Bus -Pass the Buck! -Liars Dice -Craps and maybe not for casino, but if you can steal the Five Finger FIllet minigame from RDR 1, that would be epic to initiate with people! Thanks for my ted talk!

Well, it's been two weeks since DoubleDs as a concept began. Since then, we have become an official business. We gathered our licenses as well as our official registration. Currently, we are looking to do three things: -Location For our location we were eyeing a place in Morningwood. Specifically, here! -Employee We are still looking to hire some and plan on making postings around town! -Menu's with art We are trying to figure out what we can create across Los Santos to provide in this restaurant and what our kitchen will be like! That's all for now! We are hard at work to bring this restaurant to Los Santos!

DoubleDs "MORE THAN A TASTE!" Anything found in this thread is meant to be taken strictly out of character and is not to be used in character for any reason. Dubois Dining was invented by Phillippe Dubois along with his beloved wife Rebecca Dubois in the 1950s in Lyon, France. It began as a singular restaurant called "Dubois Diner." It acted as a mom and pops shop with the hope of bringing the best tasting food in Lyon. Knowing that this challenge would be difficult, especially in a city with many culinary masters such as Lyon, Phillippe honed his craft and came up with a variety of recipes to try and top the competition. However, Rebecca knew that was never going to be enough, but everyone knows taste isn't solely about the food. Yes, the flavour, spices, quality, and preparation of the food is important, but equally as important is the presentation. What are your other senses doing while you wait for your food. What are they doing as you enjoy your food. These are the questions Rebecca asked. That's when she began working on the presentation. She decorated the restaurant 1000 different ways, experimented with smells, different songs, even as far as the specific textures of table cloths and utensils. After almost five years of preparation, they had developed a formula that worked for the 50s and 60s. They were able to become a large restaurant in Lyon based on their experience in the restaurant, and eventually through the delivery of their food. But what does that have to do with Los Santos? Well, in 2025, a young man by the name of Jean-Phillippe Dubois moved to the city. He had tried the local cuisine and... wait the local cuisine... allow me to correct myself. Monsieur Dubois tried a Sandwich from Motorsnacks, and after hours of waiting for an employee, a Burgershot Burger. These left him deeply unsatisfied... He had tasted better food in the DCC Vending Machines. His AIRPLANE FOOD ON THE RIDE OVER PLEASED HIM MORE! That's when Jean-Phillippe Remembered his grandparents. He knew what he had to do. He was going to bring Dubois Dining to Los Santos. He knew he would need a different name to make it a little catchier. Afterall, not everyone loves the French. That's when it hit him! What is more American than Double Ds! This faction is about one very simple thing... Bringing great food and a great experience to the people of Los Santos. DoubleDs is hoping to reach into the untapped market of Restaurants in Los Santos to try and allow a new point of interest. We want to rival Burgershot by acting as a higher-end restaurant that also allows for Drive-Through and a Delivery Service. DoubleDs is all about bringing you Great Food, Your Way. Want great dining and live music? We'll provide it. Want something quick right to your door. We got you! The ultimate goal with this faction is to provide something new for Civilian life. We want a new legal job that is similar to the Burgershot Freelance Job but with more structure (and hopefully by product, active employees). We also think that through providing things like food delivery, and hopefully new food types, it will allow for more interest in culinary in the city. It also allows for RP opportunities if we obtain a location. We can host live musicians or run our own DJ within the restaurant. Potential Comedy nights or Dinner Theatre shows if we can find a place with a stage, private events, catering, e.t.c. We hope to provide a fun legal job that also allows for a plethera of RP opportunites.

I believe a few facts in the story may have been incorrect, unfortunately, we are writing based off what we were told by other people in game, sorry for any inaccuracies and thank you for the support!

*Warning: This story may contain graphic details regarding the torture of another human being, discretion is advised* Red, Dead and Redemption It was a cloudy day in Los Santos. Messiah had recently got fired from his taxi job for a list of different “crimes” that were found in his background check. This caused him to wake up later than usual, exercising his new found freedom in withdrawing from the standard ways of being a member of the working class. He rolled out of bed, walked up the stairs, poured himself a glass of chocolate milk and looked at his amazing view of Los Santos. He contemplated various ideas, the meaning of crime when it stacks up to the foundations of Natural Law. He thought about his exit from the DCC - the kindness of some on his exit and the cruelty of others. He pondered how much more the anger meant to him compared to the respect he was shown by the rest. His thoughts drifted, he sipped on the chocolate milk as he looked at all the highrises that graced his vision. He looked over towards the West, seen the water flow, then to the east as he saw the bars hustling. Messiah thought about all the different types of people in the city, then thought about his brother Grant, who had been failed by Los Santos to keep him safe and out of trouble. Messiah put on his suit and tie. He packed his bag with all the protection he’d need for the day. He turned on his radio and dawned the white skull mask. He then left to start his day. Messiah headed down to the pier where most of Salvation had been. Very few of them were having a good day, and it did not help that it began raining. Spirits however, were being raised by the banter. They were chatting with each other while they fished, while Dallas and Esco were talking to some of the locals, spreading the message, and rolling some fish. That was until Esco got challenged to a race. Himself against a lady named Camille. “This is going to be a free one-thousuand dollars” Esco said excitedly over the radio. “Better be” responded Griz slyly. The race began when something peculiar happened. Griz received a notification that his car was being broken into. The car alarm silently sounded as he called out to Salvation. Fishing rods were thrown to the side quicker than the flash running a 100m as Salvation stormed the shrek-coloured haired man trying to break into the car. “What do you think your doing” asked Messiah “I’m taking my friend's car.” Responded the man calmly. “Who’s your friend?” Griz asked harshly as though to make it clear that Salvation believed he was lying. “Just a guy I met over there watching a race, he said it’s his friend’s car and it’d be funny.” Dallas began walking over to the man he pointed at as Griz continued to question him. “What were you going to do with the car?” Griz asked “None of your business, why do you care!” The man responded in anger. As Salvation circled him, many people at the pier were drawn towards the situation and began yelling to kill him. These people were disregarded as the questioning continued. “Dallas, what his friend say” Messiah said over the radio. “Doesn’t know the guy.” Dallas Responded. “Esco where are you?” Messiah asked. “The girl from the race ran off, I think she has something to do with it.” The green haired man would be pressed about this situation but due to the busy nature and angry mob at the pier, Salvation offered him to go somewhere more secluded. He was blindfolded, put into the back of Griz’s car and driven to a new location… To Be Continued.

Send in the clowns??? The Clowns are finally on board with the Salvation's goal... We invited them over for some Clown Stew... They declined... We shook hands and now there will be no more Clowning Around... We will bring Salvation LS... it is coming soon...
