  1. -1 I love the thunder. So much so that I tend to go out and drive around in it, on or off DCC duty. I don't feel like I am stuck in it nor that it limits me. It crrates other situations, like huddling up together in a taxi or in a bus stop. +1 what Asbo mentioned though, if the weather really really needs to get changed from thunder don't change it straight to clear weather. Or when it rains for 2 seconds before it suddenly disappears. "my immersion"
  2. There is no such thing as an automated blacklist system in DCC's case
  3. Los Santos Pride Parade & Music Festival On the 30th of June it was the day to celebrate the freedom of love in Los Santos. As DCC we believe it is very important that you can be who you want to be and love whomever you want to love. So when DOC's Warden Kourtney Lafleur reached out to ask whether DCC wanted to partake in the Los Santos Pride Parade and Music Festival, it was a no brainer and the event got announced on DCC's Digital Message Board to invite all employees to join. At 18.45 the group met up at DCC to take out a Stanier Taxi's to get them painted in the colours of the rainbow by our lovely pocket mechanic Timmaayy. We made sure to snap a group photo before heading up to Sandy Airfield in our own mini parade. After a short wait, all the vehicles that were going to join the Los Santos Pride Parade arrived at Sandy Airfield and quite quickly everyone lined up. With the cruise set on 80, the parade slowly but surely made their way up to Paleto, all the way around to Route 68 and back to Sandy Airfield. After parking the taxi's back up, it was time to party and have a couple drinks at the Los Santos Pride Music Festival that followed the parade at Sandy Airfield. It was great seeing so many people and organisations join in, so thank you everyone for showing up and thank you DOC for the invite. ^Screenshot made by Lilymay Bryd ^Screenshot made by myself ^Screenshot made by Frost Black ^Screenshot made by myself ^Screenshot made by Timmaayy
  4. Onlyvans Day Jay Jacobson's love for the Moonbeam started fairly early on in her DCC career back around the summer of 2021. Shortly after the old shuttle got decommissioned and replaced by the Moonbeam, Jay started driving it and quickly never wanted to drive anything else while on duty. The looks of the vehicle, the (slight) drifting in corners and the trunk to save a life if needed provided fun and practicality while on duty, which she liked. Even off duty Jay drives around in her personal DCC coloured Moonbeam Custom at times, received as a gift by Andreas Oconner. The trusty Moonbeam's in DCC's fleet has seen plenty of sunsets and thunderstorms, but also plenty of tree's, rocks and cliffs while Jay was on the road. Some Moonbeam's possibly did not survive over the years because of all kind of causes, but definitely not Jay's driving (*cough*). As Public Relations Director of DCC, Jay knew that she wanted to do something with her favorite vehicle to promote it within DCC as well as make a fun day of it. DCC was already running weekly special day's with specific vehicles for quite some time now. Sadly the Moonbeam was out of commission for a long while due to 'mechanical issues'. But once the issue was fixed, the preparations began! With days like Old Timer Day, Stretch Day and Dynasty Day in the rotation it would be an easy choice to just call this day Moonbeam Day. However, what's the fun in that? Jay and Kim decided to call it Onlyvans Day (get it?) and Kim Taek created an awesome poster that can be used internally on the DCC Digital Message Board. An awesome Weazel add also got created to promote Onlyvans Day. Poster made by the amazing Kim Taek DCC CEO Lilymay Bryd needed a little convincing, especially because of the hot poster, but soon everything was set up and ready to go! And so the first edition of Onlyvans Day took place on the 13th of June. It just so happened to be a bit of a rainy and stormy day, so those Moonbeam's definitely got a little wet and dirty. ^Screenshot made by Frost Black ^Screenshot made by Leaf Lamprey Stay tuned for the second edition of Onlyvans Day somewhere next month..
  5. A Surprise Delivery It all started when DCC's Lilymay Bryd and LSC's Conrad McMount received an unexpected e-mail from a mysterious Santiago Davis from Flight and Freight, Inc to schedule a cargo transport delivery. A bit confused after reading the e-mail, Lilymay asked her command team to sit down together to go over this e-mail. Lilymay tried her best to read out the e-mail to the command team. After having a good laugh about the randomness of it all, the team agreed to let Santiago Davis know that Tuesday at 18.15 would be perfect to come pick up the surprise delivery. What Lilymay did not realise is that Santiago would only come once, which led to a follow up e-mail from Santiago. The following day it was time to pick up the surprise delivery in the evening! So Andreas, Jay J, Lilymay, Tom and Stebbi hopped in a Dashound together and drove to Sandy Airfield. Shortly after, LSC arrived with their flatbeds as well as DCC's Kim who might've been slightly late. After hanging around for a little bit, LSC's Conrad received a phone call from Santiago Davis who asked for permission to land. Santiago asked Conrad whether he had permission to land. Even though Conrad was a little bit confused about being asked for permission, he gave the okay to land and shortly after the plane touched down at Sandy Airfield. Everyone ran up to the plane after it safely landed to greet Santiago. Santiago was not the only one coming out of the plane, as he brought his co-pilot Tina along. After saying hello, Santiago was expecting to receive a gift. Apparently Governor Lewis Langley made that promise! Sadly the Governor did not forward this message, so that left everyone scrambling to look through their pockets for gifts. Santiago refused to unload the cargo out of the airplane without receiving his promised gift! But Santiago only had one gift in mind. A football shirt! Oh and since you did not have that with you, also an American hat! And some stuff for Tina as well! And it has to be pink! Andreas quickly called William Taylor and asked for a favour to go buy the stuff for Santiago. Conrad and Riley quickly went to go buy the pink stuff for Tina. In the meantime the others tried to keep Santiago and Tina entertained. Asking about favourite hobbies (apparently Tina has a rock collection!) and what they like about America. Somehow the chat shifted to music and Santiago and Tina asked to sing a song for them. Lilymay quickly started to sing 'the wheels on the bus go round and round', but Jay J suggested that the guests should pick a song. After a little bit of deliberation, they chose Tina's favourite English song WAP by Cardi B. Jay J quickly grabbed her phone to look up the lyrics and attempted to 'sing' the song to keep the both of them distracted while waiting for the gifts. (Sound is thankfully not available!) During the 'singing', William showed up with the gifts and Conrad and Riley were quick coming back with the gifts for Tina. After handing them over, Santiago and Tina got changed into their beautiful new outfits. Santiago was happy and was ready to unload the cargo together with Tina. After waiting for a little bit and a lot of squinting trying to find out what is being unloaded, the team was allowed to approach the back of the airplane to find out what this surprise delivery was. The surprise delivery turned out to be new cars! The Governor arranged for the delivery of two new type of vehicles for DCC. The old timers Eudora and the Broadway. A nice and pretty looking addition to DCC's fleet. The new cars quickly got driven to the side to make room for Santiago and Tina, who sadly had to fly off again to their next destination in their new American outfits. After waving them goodbye, the team hopped into the new cars and drove them back to DCC. Lilymay suggested to Jay J to try out these new vehicles as soon as possible, so they agreed to do a 'Back in Time' day for the following day at DCC. Which is today! Woo!
  6. DCC x LSC Rally Event Preparations At the end of April LSC’s Hayden Snow came up with the idea for a type of treasure hunt rally with several checkpoints. The original idea had the participating teams complete challenges and riddles to reveal the location of the next checkpoint. Excited about the idea, Hayden elaborated further on it while she was hanging out with Conrad McMount and Jay Jacobson. DCC and LSC had a rocky contract negotiation after having no contract in place for about half a year, so both felt that it was important to try to work on that relationship between the companies. As Conrad’s in charge of the events as LSC’s Head of Events and Jay on DCC’s side as Public Relations Director, the idea quickly came forth to turn this into a joint event between the two companies. By having each team consist of 1 employee of each company, they created ample opportunity for new friendships to be made during the event. A couple days later Hayden had a rough idea of the checkpoint locations and the route of the event, so the three of them decided to go on a scouting trip, together with DCC’s PR team member and manager of the month Tom Solar. Initially the idea was to have 7 different checkpoints where a variety of tasks would have to be completed. Throughout the scouting trip, the team managed to work out some details and got a clear picture of what the event would eventually look like. Next step: figuring out which tasks the teams are doing at the several checkpoints. Together as well as separately, both DCC’s and LSC’s people further brainstormed about these tasks. On DCC’s side the PR team talked through the entire event and came up with ideas which questions to ask as well as new checkpoint tasks. During this meeting Lilymay Bryd (CEO) and Jay Spades (COO) interrupted the PR team meeting briefly to inform and congratulate Jay with her new promotion from Public Relations Manager to Public Relations Director, which meant she would become part of the High Command team of DCC. Checkpoint 1 - The Quarry Car Pushing Challenge Tom’s idea for the challenge was to push a car from one point to the next. Setting up the challenge therefore required a long and relatively straight stretch of road on which the participants would have to push two cars, one DCC and one LSC vehicle in both directions. Two reference points had to be set and marked to determine the zone in which the vehicles would need to be pushed from start to finish and back. The Davis Quartz Quarry had the perfect spot to do this at, as Hayden and Jay suggested. Checkpoint 2 - The Lighthouse Jetski Loop Challenge It was initially planned to have the participants loop around the lighthouse one by one, however, Conrad and Jay decided to change the challenge by extending the loop around the islands behind the lighthouse, and to have both team members loop around at the same time, but in opposite directions, ideally crossing each other at the furthest point. The time was recorded from the moment they both left from the starting point, until both team members were off the jetski’s, standing on the docks with both legs. Initial Loop Final Loop As Jay and Conrad were awaiting the delivery of the rental jetski’s to test out the track, they decided to enjoy the solitude and sound of the waves gently washing up against the rocks. Checkpoint 3 - Mount Chiliad Riddle Coming up with the riddle proved to be a rather difficult task, as it took 4 individuals about 30 minutes of brainstorming to come up with appropriate hints during the joint meeting. They wanted the clues to be very specific, without revealing too much about the answer. As Conrad walked around the meeting room, himself, Ophelia Panes, Jay and Bailey Snow came up with separate sentences, which were then forged together by Jay into one riddle. To make the rally a bit more exciting, it was decided that this checkpoint would be right on top of Mount Chiliad near the viewpoint. Checkpoint 4 - Stab City Triangle Nesting Dolls The Nesting Dolls challenge prep was a rather lengthy one, as quite a lot of bags had to be gathered and stacked into each other, with either a written note or a radio in the final bag. After two trips to the store, as Conrad not so surprisingly forgot to buy enough bags the first time, Jay and Conrad started stacking the bags into each other. Both Conrad and Jay had to restart preparing the notes, radio’s and bags for the event as they lost count too many times due to several distractions. As they decided to have 2 sets of 2 bags it became quite the struggle. When they were finally done stuffing their bags after quite some time they were completely chilled out and zen. Checkpoint 5 - Vespucci Beach Guardtower Trivia Time At the joint meeting it was decided to present the contestants with 2 DCC and 2 LSC themed questions. The questions would have to be specific enough so that they could only be answered by either the DCC or the LSC employee but common enough to be easily known by the employees. On DCC’s side Jay took a cab out together with PR team member and manager Ophelia and DCC Manager Jay Denton to get the answer to one of the DCC questions. They made sure to get the correct answer by going back and forth twice. While dropping Hayden off in between, Jay’s steering wheel suddenly decided to have a life of its own which caused them to have a slight crash in the Vinewood hills. Or perhaps she was just too distracted in general. Maybe both! Afterparty - La Spada Nightclub Setup of the afterparty was relatively straight forward. Jay organised a DJ to play music at the party and both herself and Conrad shoved a ton of liquor in the refrigerators. Music and Liquor are the basic ingredients for a good party. All that was missing was the people. Finishing Touches A couple days before the event, Jay worked on a sheet for the entire event with a scorecard, explanations about the checkpoints for the helpers and the answers and scoring sheet for all the checkpoints. She found out that a couple things still needed to be handled. On the day the event would take place, Jay and Conrad did a final testrun with everything in place, timing each drive between the checkpoints to get an idea of how long the entire event would take, and how much time should be between each team taking off from the starting point. It was also at that point that they realised the map that was supposed to be drawn up had not been drawn up yet. As they didn’t want anything left to chance, Conrad sat at his computer and drew up a map with all the checkpoints, as it would be essential to the teams’ ability to find the checkpoints and complete the rally.
  7. That would make life so much better =)
