+1 Bring more social diversity to the city, and some novelty! Refresh our social hangouts and provide an area as a social hub, I like the idea!

I am not saying it is a good or bad idea. I am debating the "IRL" point of view. Personally, I don't own a car that has an autolock feature, nor do I systematically lock my car when I am driving. I also agree that most cars have to be unlocked in order to refuel them. Again, and as BrainDed said, it is against the rules to steal a car from a gas station so if that were to happen to you, /report in game!

Hmm. Difficult one, because personally I have never locked my car at a gas station IRL, and not a lot of people do (UK/France). Although in-game I could understand, I would have to disagree.

Bearing in mind a taco costs $300, a yoga mat at $500 is pretty cheap. So just on that basis alone, I cannot agree with your suggestion. It would not make sense for a big pot plant to cost the same price as a taco.

FUTURE EMPLOYEE HIERARCHY WITHIN PRESTIGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Since the departure of Wes McLoughlin, Louise Hoffman had to take to dealing with all sides of the business: - Photos and editing - Online marketing - Visits and consultations - Negotiating - Networking It wasn't easy, and she often got overwhelmed with the amount of work that demanded her attention. But finally, after a week of tackling the business agenda head on, she was finally afloat and starting to feel organized and prepared again. With the opening of the Property and Housing Bureau at the SAGOV, Ms Hoffman was able to submit her application to finally own a business property. A place where she could freely bring her tenants and partners in for meetings and contract signings. It also meant she could finally begin hiring with the surplus of money she was making from her business, which would ultimately relieve some of the strain she was feeling as a solo agent.

I adore Joe! He has such a happy and bubbly attitude! Best of luck going about your kickboxing dream, and I hope to continue RPing with Joe for a long time to come! Really loved reading his character story, and look forward to more updates!

Welcome to the community Vince! I had the pleasure of pulling you over today on my SD account, I look forward to more RP with you!

I agree with you on the RP quality we could be portraying over chopping cars. Similar situations can be found when modding your vehicle and the player next to you can see the modifications with /modview. I believe it is up to us as roleplayers to provide adequate immersion around these elements that need it the most. For example, when looking at /modview, I always RP having a catalogue and showing the catalogue to either my friend, or circling elements in the catalogue for the mechanic. As for chop shops, creating an RP story around how long is left for the chop is a brilliant idea. The best part is, it only requires two maybe three seconds more to relay "he is telling me it will take about 2 minutes". As for the script of holding the money, I am not sure if that is even possible, but it is a good idea. It would make more sense.

Worse case scenario they say no.

Why not! Get hustling, get networking, who knows what you can accomplish!

Hi! You are correct, there is not currently a FBI division on the server! That does not mean it cannot or will not exist though. However, there is already a government faction, so I recommend starting your enquiry directly with the members of the government (in-game). Joining the government will probably help too. Like any real life job though, you will have to start at the lowest ranks and work your way up to a position to open up a whole new division in the government. Does not mean you cannot start reaching out to the right people about it. Anything is possible within reason and with hard work put into it!

I don’t agree with everything that was said but I do want to give special attention to your point #2 about patience and roleplay! I am in total agreement with you and I also want this message to be as widespread as possible! Take your time to roleplay and emphasis depth in your actions. I genuinely come out of some scenarios feeling exuberantly happy because of the level of roleplay I received from some players. It’s a pleasure to roleplay with the use of actions, words, feelings and immersion. The use of /me’s and /do’s and taking the time to add them. It is frustrating to try and create immersive roleplay when the other person bases their roleplay exclusively through VOIP. And whilst to each their own, I can only encourage people to step out of their comfort zones and give it a go!

I don't agree with a potential mute button for /b. I agree with what has been stated above, /b is very useful as a command when used properly. For example, I am in a meeting and my audio suddenly stops working, I couldn't imagine going through everybody present through pm's to indicate such a thing. In this case, a simple "/b Sorry, my audio has stopped working, can we proceed in text whilst I fix it" is appropriate and the correct response in this situation. If somebody has /b muted, they could continue through the meeting thinking I am just ignoring them and potentially getting reported for something. How are we to know when somebody has muted their /b? In the case of excessive use of /b, words help. Asking somebody politely to either move their conversation to pm's, or to cut /b works. Sometimes it doesn't. And when it doesn't, then stop replying to them. If you cut out of /b chances are the other person will too, since they have nothing to respond to. However, when it doesn't, save your POV and post a report or make an ingame one. That person will receive a punishment for it with actual footage of that person doing it, it just needs to get reported in the first place. I don't often get /b abuse or waterfalls of excessive use of /b (and yet, I used to work at DOC, currently I'm in SD). When I do, yes it is annoying and does distract from important /me's and /do's, but honestly it is not as often as we like to say it is. I don't see /b being an issue, and really when people do abuse it, I can be sure that they will be talked to or punished. A crackdown on the rule is, in my opinion, not needed. I feel that through in-game reports or forum reports, moderators and admins issue the necessary punishments or warnings. It is up to us to make an effort to report in the first place, which I feel we fail more times that not to do.

Margot's new life began on the 27th of September, when she set foot onto American soil at 5:45AM. She landed in Los Santos, with a small briefcase of belongings, and a handful of cash. She felt anxious and afraid, but nothing about the American way of life really scared her. She was afraid of the wait until she could be reunited comfortably with her parents in Paris. In the meantime, she knew she would have to live in a hotel and only go about with the bare minimum of cash, and strictly no contact with her parents or friends. The friends of the family were able to arrange a car for Margot during the flight, much to Margot's relief. However, it was with a sudden and overpowering feeling of grief that she picked up the keys to her new Brioso 300, waiting for her at the marina carpark. After a restless nap, she decided that day to leave her hotel room and visit the city. Never having been somebody to sit back and wait, she was too curious about her surroundings and too energetic to stay cooped in a room all day. She grabbed her coat, her car keys and her phone and drove her Brioso, following the signs to the pier. That day, she met people who would become main characters in her life story. Margot was at the pier, minding her own business and admiring the yacht which was anchored a few miles offshore when a flamboyantly elegant man came to stand next to her. He was very easy to get along with, and they both chatted that morning about anything and everything. He was sassy and fun and loud. You always have that one memory that begins with "if I had never met you, none of this would have happened". Craig was that person. Very quickly, Craig introduced Margot to two very special women. Lola Delavera and Urban Madine. Each of the two women would become very important to Margot. Urban would quickly become Margot's best friend, with whom she continues to share everything, and come to for advice. Lola would be the one to introduce Margot to somebody who would inevitably change everything in Margot's world... It was on the her first day in the city that Margot met the masked Devil Man. She was enjoying a conversation with her new found friends at Legion Square when the man rolled up in his yellow Toros, and stepped out of his vehicle in a freshly pressed suit. Lola exclaimed and ran to him, before doubling back to try and introduce Margot to him. She kept saying that the masked man was a millionaire, and single. Sceptical, Margot would ignore the man and continue chatting with her friends. It was later at the pier that the man in the yellow Toros found the group again. Margot was leaned up against her friend's car, when the masked Devil Man came to stand next to her. With a raised eyebrow, Margot asked the stranger his name, and to remove his mask out of politeness. The man chuckled, told her his name was Mr Devil Man, and the mask was staying on. They got talking some, under the watchful eyes of her new friends until they left. And they continued to talk some more alone. She found the man arrogant, stubborn and stuck-up. Little did she know, they would become inseperable. For the next month, Vince and Margot would spend every day together. Getting to know each other, learning about each other. He asked her out on a date that first week, and from there, their feelings only grew towards one another. As Margot spent time in the city, she got to know a lot of people. Always keeping an ear open, she got to know the different gangs pretty quickly and she also got valuable information along the way. She took her time, getting to know the gangs and their members. She knew which ones she did not want to join, and in the end her choice revolved around three gangs. She made a lot of friends and allies during this time, and helped out where she could. She made alliances with gangs such as The Underground, who looked out for her and helped her and treated her like one of their own. A gang's politics played a huge part in her indecisiveness, along with the way they operated and communicated. The choices were difficult. In the meantime, she spent more and more time with Vince Williams. He did not tell her anything about his business, and she never asked. However, she heard a lot of stories about him and Seth Blackwood. Words such as "cartel" kept coming back to her. She respected his professional life, no matter what it was and how he chose to hide the truth, and continued for a couple of weeks making her own choices for her future and letting Vince disappear to attend to his own affairs. It was not until Vince and Seth invited her to assist on a meeting that everything began to change. For a week, Margot was invited along but was told to sit in the car at all times. Little by little, as if testing the waters, Vince would tell her a little about his work in small snippets, until she was invited out of the car on a few meetings to listen in. It was after her third week in Los Santos when things really changed. Vince and Seth took Margot for a car drive. Which was nothing new, they often spent time together driving around. It was when they parked in a secluded spot and turned off the motor did Margot know something was different. Margot was offered a position with them. Margot's choice was made, but to the world she was still unaffiliated. She would turn offers down, telling people she preferred to work alone and help as an outsider. Since Margot had been doing this from the beginning, it was not hard to believe. With her parents and life back in Paris always on her mind, Margot started to worry when after two weeks she still had no updates coming from the family lawyer. So, on the last week of October, she decided to reach out to the people who flew her to Los Santos, and requested a flight to Paris. She was worried, and had to get answers herself. It was a dismal trip, and unexpected to say the least. Little will she tell anyone, Margot finds out on that trip that both her parents are incarcerated for multiple charges, including trafficking and distribution, money laundering, bribery and racketeering. To name a few. The family lawyer is MIA, although Margot suspects he is either dead or in hiding. Margot's trusty bodyguard, Igor Stepanchikov, has also fled to his home country. Ultimately, Margot finds herself on the Europol's Wanted list for similar charges. After finding out everything she could from her visit, she decided to return to her new safe haven which is Los Santos. Armed with the knowledge that it will be a long time before she can reunite with her parents, she lands determined to make the most of a bad situation. With the new knowledge she has of her parents' incarceration, Margot is back in Los Santos with the mindset that she is stuck there. However, this time is different, she has Vince now and is determined to make it work. She now hopes to settle in Los Santos, and make it her home for the next few months until the appeals start to happen in Paris. She also has work now, and will put all her efforts into seeing her professional life flourish. How she will grow, she has yet to find out.

Oh wow! I’m loving all these character developments, and there is a lot of effort put into the writing of them. Looks amazing guys, well done

As always, I’m enjoying the development of the gang!

That last post is hilarious, poor Nick

I love all the stories coming from Diabolos!! Keep it up

Good luck!!
