PmpDdyLee Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 Quote Through the Grape(scratched out) MelonVine When it comes to being a part of a group, there are always some things here and there that can be improved on. There are also things that can very much be celebrated. However, when it comes to bringing these things up, people may have a hard time letting their thoughts be known throughout the group, or even to the leader himself. This is where the Melon Mediator comes in. At the beginning of every month, the MM brings each member to a private area and asks them questions on how they feel about being in the Waterfelons. Everything that is said is kept anonymous and passed up to the Leader and Second command. Afterwards, it is discussed between the command team in order to go over key thoughts brought up by each member. Whether there is a problem or new idea, all of it is taken into consideration and discussed. Those solutions or ideas are then implemented and brought back to the members. With this process, everyone is able to have their voices heard without stress, and command isn't overwhelmed by the information. 4 3 1 1 2 Quote
Jordan Posted December 16, 2024 Author Report Posted December 16, 2024 Quote Lyrical Melonade Throughout his time within the city of Los Santos, Marcus has experienced his fair share of criminal activity: Shootouts, cooking drugs, chopping cars. But all of this was a means to an end. Marcus wanted a way to express himself, and his creativity without the needless bloodshed. Marcus got to talking with two other members of the Waterfelons: Ricardo & Tommy who both shared the mutual interest in self expression through music. With this in mind, Marcus had the idea of making a record label. With the help of Tommy they both founded "Lyrical Melonade" a record label meant for other like minded criminals and others alike. This way beef with gangs, or people in general doesn't always have to end with someone in a casket, surrounded by mourning loved ones. Waterfelons hope that Lyrical Melonade will be a new age for the criminal life style and helping people pursue their passion. 7 1 1 2 1 Quote

Jordan Posted December 29, 2024 Author Report Posted December 29, 2024 Quote X Marks the Spot With the waterfelons hard at work, establishing business & keeping their turf. command thought that it was time to show their members some appreciation. During a command meeting they discussed having a little treat for their members, eventually command had decided to do a secret santa gift exchange & a scavenger hunt with a cash prize. the idea was simple every member would be assigned a “secret santa” someone to give a gift to, but not just a gift an outfit aswell, that person would wear during the hunt. As soon as the names were given out, everyone rushed to the nearest clothing store buying both fashion aswell as comical outfits. The day had finally come for the waterfelons to embark on their scavenger hunt. They had found themselves meeting in an undisclosed location with their presents and outfits in hand. As soon as everyone was in their outfits for the evening the scavenger hunt began. each hint was carefully worded to look back on the history of waterfelons, aswell as test the knowledge of their long standing members. eventually the winner finally crossed the finish line claiming their cash prize, as the waterfelons grouped up for one last picture.

Honey Wilson Posted January 6, 2025 Report Posted January 6, 2025 (edited) Quote Happy New Year With christmas ending and the snow beginning to melt, the waterfelons thought it was time to get back in the swing of things, but before they could get back to business there was one thing they had to do first. Waterfelons' very own Aurora Harrisons' birthday fell on the 2nd of january and what A way to start the new year than to cause a bit of havoc? The Waterfelons assembled and began to plan their destruction. With it being Aurora's birthday they asked her what she watned to do. Aurora laughed with intent. Soon the Waterfelons were adorned in the goofiest outfits you could imagine, the men wore bigfoot costumes while the women were dressed as aliens. The plan? Rob as many stores to secure packed cash for their allies all while having fun running a muck on the LSPD. Edited January 6, 2025 by Honey Wilson 6 1 2 1 Quote
Jordan Posted January 13, 2025 Author Report Posted January 13, 2025 Quote Restructure During the holidays high command realized that they needed to make some changes within the ranks of the Waterfelons. Some members were inactive, or some weren’t up to standard, so they decided to let them go and start to reconstruct the ranks of the Waterfelons. To begin with: high command figured that the idea of “The Rinds” didn’t make much sense, and instead members were using it as a way to avoid particular tasks. with that in mind, command completely dismantled the rank instead a new ranking system was put in place that ensures members both feel a sense of progression and also still show their dedication to the gang. Finally, before they started recruiting again Waterfelons decided that three members in particular deserved their long awaited promotions: Aurora was promoted to high command for showing her dedication to the gang especially during the holidays. And Marcus was promoted to second command as he had visions for what the Waterfelons could be. Finally, Autumn Hurst was also promoted to co-leader now sitting at the same rank as Alex, as Autumn was looked to for guidance and understanding by many of the Waterfelons. 7 1 1 1 1 Quote
Jordan Posted January 20, 2025 Author Report Posted January 20, 2025 Quote Lyrical Melonade Lyrical melonade was founded by Marcus Harrison & Tommy Hurst.

wozz Posted January 27, 2025 Report Posted January 27, 2025 Quote Moving On During their time in the city the waterfelons have had many rival factions. However they usually end up being left in the past, or forgotten about completely. None have been a problem for Waterfelons but one gang in particular. The East Side Mob, and the Waterfelons had been at odds with each other for quite sometime, dating back before even the cartel came in contact with them. ESM’s issues stemmed from a deal that Waterfelons had made with OTF. The deal stated that {REDACTED} The mob took this deal as a sign of disrespect and thus the war began. First came the petty words which then progressed into acts of violence, resulting in both sides suffering severe losses. The constant fighting, now going on for 6 months, suddenly grinded to a halt when Marcus was approached by Joaquin who sought out Waterfelons to attempt to finally put an end to the war. Marcus alongside the rest of leadership accepted this invitation and was greeted by ESM’s command team at their newly established diner. The talks of peace were settled over delicious food and refreshments. The talks among both groups command team were peaceful & respectful with both sides taking responsibility for the lack of communication in which fueled the long waging war. The two groups enjoyed the rest of their meals and tipping the waiter graciously for their excellent service before parting ways. Although business was not discussed during the meeting everyone was happy to finally let peace reign triumphant. 5 1 2 1 1 Quote
Ophelia Posted February 3, 2025 Report Posted February 3, 2025 Quote Embers of Manifestation It had been months since the Waterfelons had done an event, and never one they hosted by themselves Ophelia and Autumn spent days thinking of ideas that weren’t overused before coming up with an idea. An event to symbolize the new year, a bonfire where people could burn things that didn’t serve them in the last year. Ophelia mentioned it would be cool to find someone who could read Tarot Cards.. But to her surprise Autumn had been practicing for years and offered to do it, along with her brother Lucien who also specialized in readings. Before they knew it, it was the night of the event, Embers of Manifestation. Raffling a maxed Terminus and offering Tarot Card readings for love and also past, present and future, the place was packed before it had even begun. Everyone worked together efficiently and effectively, and before they knew it, it had been three hours and the place was still packed with people dancing, and conversing with each other. The night was a massive success, the Tarot Card Readings were widely received and everyone excitedly talked about the accuracy as the fire burned with past items, allowing everyone to start the new year with a new slate. The Waterfelons ended the night on a high, excited to plan the next event. 7 2 3 2 1 Quote
Pumpkin Posted February 9, 2025 Report Posted February 9, 2025 Quote Monarch Mayhem Waterfelons were sitting around hq bored one day and decided that today was a good day to steal from the rich and give to the poor. The waterfelons quickly assembled with a game plan and most of all, a theme for their robberies. as per usual the waterfelons always have a theme set in place for their outfits during their store robberies not only to throw off the scent but also to have a little fun amidst all the chaos. One store, two store, three store four! The waterfelons were on a roll! Luckily the LSPD were busy the whole night so the waterfelons went uncontested the whole night. Eventually though it was time for them to stop while they were ahead, as too many robberies was risky even for them. All in all, the waterfelons had an amazing night, and made an amazing profit. 6 2 3 3 Quote

Jordan Posted March 17, 2025 Author Report Posted March 17, 2025 Quote Waterfelons Charity Fund its been over a year since the Waterfelons first started. Alex, Autumn, Luci and Hugo all started at Roadworkers, and upon their return after a long break, went back to it because nothing quite beats the social and energetic atmosphere. Roadworkers is where Waterfelons started, a bunch of friends just wanting to make the city a safer place. with their connections and their new found power within the city the Waterfelons decided that they need new ways to help the city, not just to make it safer, but also to make it a place for people to grow and pursue their dreams. with that in mind, the Waterfelons assembled and robbed multiple stores, one after the other they added more and more money to their pockets. after all was said and done, the Waterfelons went down to Roadworkers HQ and gave out the money to those working there. its where Waterfelons got their start, and hopefully the good faith will be passed on. this act gave Alex an idea... what if they could do this all the time? Thus the Waterfelons charity fund was created. every so often the Waterfelons commit crimes, or host events, some of the proceeds will go back into helping the community in hopes of it becoming a better place. 2 2 1 Quote
RustyOsprey2 Posted March 20, 2025 Report Posted March 20, 2025 Quote Autumn and Alex, the creators and leaders of Waterfelons, built the gang from the ground up. Their skills and dedication shaped the gang into what it is today, leaving a wonderful gang that felt like a family. But all good things sadly come to an end. After much discussion, they made the difficult decision to step down, believing it was the right choice for the gangs future. Zaza and Aurora, former members of Waterfelons high-command, had proven themselves as skilled and dedicated leaders during their time. When Autumn and Alex stepped down, the choice of who were going to lead the gang was clear. Without hesitation, they appointed Zaza and Aurora as leaders, ensuring the gangs future remained bright. Brook and Samuel, dedicated members of the gang, had learned the ropes of command, Brook through experience as low-command and Samuel alongside him. When Zaza and Aurora stepped up as leaders, new high-command was needed. Their promotion was swiftly put in place, and together, they were sure they were going to be able to help the gang thrive alongside the new leaders. 1 3 2 1 1 1 Quote
Zaza_Soprano Posted March 21, 2025 Report Posted March 21, 2025 Quote "It was a warm evening in Los Santos when the Waterfelon "teacher" Brook Wheeler stumbled upon a mister who was in dire need of assistance financially and regarding illegal ways of making money in the city. Seeing as the Wheelers have taken upon themselves to teach the rookie criminals of Los Santos the basics of crime, Brook didn't hesitate in offering a helping hand to the newbie. After providing some financial support and discussing the basics of criminal activities such as chopping and cooking, they took off to get the man the tools required to start his new found career. Now with Samuel Wheeler riding with them, they went around the city learning labs as well as good spots to find chops until they eventually stumbled upon a chop car to use for teaching purposes. Some minutes went by and they had successfully taught the man how to chop cars and how to sell the parts. Naturally all profits from the chop went to the rookie. To make the evening even more memorable for the new friend they made, Brook and Samuel decided to buy a nice car for the man that only owned a Warrener at the time. Surely enough, the man would remember the Waterfelons as people who offer a hand to those that are in need!" 2 3 1 1 1 Quote
RustyOsprey2 Posted March 25, 2025 Report Posted March 25, 2025 Quote It wasn’t long after Chevy Vercetti joined us that we realized he wasn’t quite cut out for the criminal life we’re living. He just recently flew into the city and had a lot to learn, and his skills were… well, let's just say they needed some work. Being a seedling for the Waterfelons, he was on trial to prove himself as an asset to the gang, but it didn’t take long to see he wasn’t the right fit for us. "We’re gonna have to let you go from the seedling spot, man. "I told him, a bit disappointed but knowing it was the right call. "You’re still fresh. We need people with more experience in this type of work, and I’m sure we both agree you’re not quite there yet." Chevy looked down for a second but then nodded in agreement. "I get it. I’m still learning. And you’re looking for someone more versed in the life of being a criminal" "Look. I said, shaking my head. I’m not just gonna leave you out there and not help you. That’s not what we Waterfelons are about. You wanna learn? I’ll teach you something useful to get you started with some serious and core crime." So, I took him under my wing for a bit. "First lesson?" i said. How to get plants, since they’re pretty damn useful in the type of business we’re in. We spent a couple of hours driving around the city outskirts in my new Itali, going to all the spots where plants grow. I showed him where to find them, how to tell which ones were ready to be picked, and how to actually grab them without messing it up. After we successfully managed to grab plants from all the spots, it was time for Chevy to go out on his own. I couldn’t teach him everything, but this skill he picked up was gonna be valuable in the long run. 4 4 1 Quote
Pumpkin Posted April 1, 2025 Report Posted April 1, 2025 Quote Home Sweet Home Its now been almost a month since Autumn and Alex passed on Waterfelons to Aurora and Zaza, they both thought its what they needed after founding the gang back in 2023, they've been through as many ups as there was down but day in and day out the passion to create something better always remained, but like a rock crashing against the waves every mishap every complaint and every member leaving, it slowly started to wear them down, and soon enough the motivation and passion started to drift away, they thought it was time to move on and trust that the legacy that they fought so hard to secure would be lifted to new and bigger heights with the new leaders. At first it seemed like a breathe of fresh air it was the first time Alex and Autumn had truly had any separation from Waterfelons and responsibilities in the past 2 years. After the first week however Autumn began to feel restless, something about it all just didn't feel right. The Waterfelons were like Autumn's children, she cared for their needs, listened to their woes and was always first in line to any proud moment that they achieved. She was seen as the mother figure to many of the members and she took that position with pride and all the sudden they were gone. After a few days of conversation with Alex about it being the right choice of leaving she decided to revisit Waterfelons to plant the seed of her possible return . As soon as the Waterfelons saw her screeches of happiness blasted her eardrums as members came up to hug and playfully tackle her. She needed this, right then and there she knew this is where she belongs. As the sun begin to set, talks between all of command was held, with the blessing of both Aurora and Zaza she once again became the leader of the Waterfelons, together Aurora and Autumn would rise up and stand tall as leaders and bring Waterfelons back to the light 4 3 1 Quote
Pumpkin Posted April 4, 2025 Report Posted April 4, 2025 (edited) Quote CRUSING IN STYLE The Waterfelons have always stood out from the crowd by rocking the bright colours of green and pink, its purpose you may ask? Not only is it fitting for the name but also it makes it easy for the everyday man to be able to spot the Waterfelons in times of need. Throughout the 2 years since Waterfelons was created people have decided to imitate their clothing in order to use their alliances or simply to gain people's trust to then further exploit them. Although Waterfelons have dealt with all of the fakes, new ones just kept on coming so they needed to come up with something a bit more extreme in order for people to be truly sure it was indeed a Waterfelon they were speaking with. The idea of a certain type of car was tossed around by members of command, something that was just as fun and quirky as the Waterfelons themselves, a true personification of them. VINTAGE CARS! Members of Waterfelons loved the idea after hearing the examples of the Roosevelt, Winky,Briosso 300 and the all time favourite ‘Mr.Bean car’ all rocking the iconic green and pink. It was the perfect theme to go alongside their friendly fun nature. By the end of the meeting members ran towards low and high end alongside some dealerships in order to buy their brand new Waterfelon car. And just like that, The Waterfelon identity was secure.

Pumpkin Posted April 11, 2025 Report Posted April 11, 2025 Quote Practice Makes Perfect HAVE YOU EVER SPENT 20K+ ON A GUN ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT YOU HATE IT!? Well come on down to the Waterfelons Gun Range, not only can you try before you buy to guarantee that your hard earned money isn't going to waste but you can also practice your aim in our sound proof gun range. Since the Cartel have gotten in contact with the Waterfelons they have made it one of their missions to sell guns not only to gangs but also to solos at a much cheaper tax then other gangs, the reason behind this is that although Waterfelons will always lend a hand in time of need, they can't be everywhere at once. To combat this the Waterfelons have lowered the tax on solos so they can get their self defense equipment without breaking the bank and in return this would help even the playing field and release some of the strain on the Waterfelons. After months of selling various guns many customers had returned expressing their sorrows that the equipment they purchased was a bit harder to control then they thought it would be, this is when the Waterfelons had a brilliant idea to allow their customers to test out the gun they are wanting to purchase at their newly furnished gun range to guarantee that everybody would walk away happy and confident in their purchase. 4 1 3 1 Quote
RustyOsprey2 Posted April 17, 2025 Report Posted April 17, 2025 Quote The Betrayal Of Peace The peace treaty between Waterfelons and ESM had been rocky from the start, ESM was pushing for Waterfelons to do business with them but the Waterfelons wanted to wait, unsure if this peace would last they decided to test ESM to see if they were in fact a honourable gang and would stand by their word. After a week of peace Second Command of ESM approached Waterfelons asking why Waterfelons wouldnt do any orders for them, Autumn explained that after 6 months of war and harsh words shared amongst the 2 groups trust is something you build not demand and told the Second Command to give them time to learn to trust them. A few days had passed since the talk shared between the 2 groups, when one day some of Waterfelons were cooking and noticed that they were being scouted, sadly all of the small group of Waterfelons had lost the fight but one managed to get away with vital information. When arriving back to the pink cage the member quickly told the command team everything that went down before sharing that members of ESM went out of colours to push and kill Waterfelons. Waterfelons were in shock how could a Mob a group of which pride themselves on honour go against the peace treaty and try to hide it, when this was brought to the attention of ESM command they of course denied it, but Waterfelons are not fools ESM had failed the test of honour and in doing so became enemy of the Waterfelons. Waterfelons always strive for peace but once that peace is broken you do not get it back. 5 4 Quote
Van Winkle Posted April 21, 2025 Report Posted April 21, 2025 Quote BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE The Waterfelons have been close allies with Los Locos since they made their debut in the city, what started as merely business became a close friendship between the 2 groups always visiting each others HQ’s for a chin wag helping each other when business became tough Although Waterfelons and Los Locos have had a meeting, both groups had grown a lot in the past few months and new members had joined that needed introducing. After the discussions of a new lowered tax had settled and a few laugh shares were shared, Autumn then suggested a little friendly competition of bulldog. Both groups were excited to battle it out in good old fashioned fun. Everyone headed to Mirror Park Field in which Autumn explained the rules ‘One group will be on one side of the field and another will be at the center, the aim of the game is to reach the other side of the field without getting tackled by the people in the center, if you get tackled you join the enemy team till there's one person remaining’. With the rules of the game explained, screels of near misses were echoing off from the field. With everyone out of breath and the sun slowly setting off the Los Santos skyline, Waterfelons and Los Locos decided to call the games their and to get back to business, with friendly hugs and warm goodbyes they both went their own way promising to visit each other soon. 5 1 2 1 Quote
