'Moving In' Finding a place to call home is a big moment for any club. Since the Club’s conception, we’ve been having our weekly meetings in one of the High Command’s apartments. He had it set up well; with a boardroom table and chairs - it was comfy but it wasn’t home. The club’s High Command had been working hard and saving for weeks on end - saving every cent they could, to put towards a more permanent home for the Diablos. We had heard that our friend & owner of the ‘Bigness’ club was looking to sell the property - and we knew the area well - so decided to buy it. For the next few days, we ripped the premises apart taking down every piece of dry wall we could and started building from the bottom up. After a few days, the Clubhouse was starting to take shape - and as every hour passed - we saw it’s potential grow. We decided to keep the New Clubhouse a secret for the Club, and reveal it at our weekly meeting. We met outside the temporary Clubhouse and made an excuse to go for a ‘quick ride’. On the ride, we stopped off outside the new Clubhouse and Charlie announced why we were there. The members were so excited to get inside and explore, and of course drink from our new bar. It was a great night, and it was great to experience our new home full of Brothers. Sid Hunter

Really great points Bala, and appreciate you taking the time to share these. It would be great to see this in any form - whether that be for the longer tenure MCs or as TheRealAjaxx suggested - giving the opportunity for faction leaders to "purchase" these, to allow the newer groups to get involved (which at least in the case of the Diablos, are growing exponentially). Also agree with their additional point of the "CTRL D" faction option to allow the use of patches - keeps everything low maintenance for the faction but importantly the staff team. If an official MC drops off the map, the files could be removed.

Bump - would love to see this.

+1 Absolutely needed. With the increase in MCs in the city, I believe it's a must have for in depth RP.

'Path to Prospect' When I arrived in this city - I was on my own, I'd spend my days fishing and watching over my back - flinching at the slightest sound, I'd often see groups of people wearing the same colour, and often wondered what they were doing & what they represented. You don't have to spend a lot of time at the Pier before you find that out, it's a fairly lawless area - full of interesting characters, I never found the urge to approach these groups or gangs as it was clear how they made their money - any way they could. One day, while through the city - I passed a group of bikers all parked up and wearing colours, naturally, I assumed this was another group of lawless individuals - out marking their territory - but I couldn't of been more wrong about these leather clad individuals. I stopped to have a quick bite to eat and worked up the courage to go over and introduce myself, at this point, I was overwhelmed with introductions and friendly conversations from the group - they all took the time to introduce themselves, and make feel welcome & safe. The feeling was unreal - I felt the family bond immediately, These bikers were Brothers to each other and I wanted to be a part of this family. It was a few days later, when I was fishing at the Pier - watching over my back, when I saw the President, Charlie, ride up, He immediately came over and said 'Hello', before joining me for a spot of fishing. Shortly afterwards, "Happy" The VP, showed up and joined in as well. We had a great few hours together, before Charlie & Happy both invited me to 'Hang Around' on a ride later that evening. I was honoured and accepted, This ride was the most important of my life so far - I had a chance to ride with a group of people that had each other’s back and on that ride - I knew they had mine and I had theirs too. We made a few stops before setting off and I got to experience riding in formation for the first time. This experience cemented my loyalty to the club, immediately, When you ride in formation - you trust the man in front, beside and behind you - with your life and there is no feeling like that. Later in the week, I was invited to my first meeting where I met the rest of the club and during which I was asked if I was still interested in joining, before Charlie finished his sentence my answer was yes, handed my prospect patch I sewed it on with pride.
