AINT NO WAY THEY GOT HOGWARTS IN HERE

Name of Faction: Kirov Bratva Number of Members (Minimum of 5): 36 and growing Type Of Faction (Family, Triad, Street Gang, etc): Family Ethnic Background (ex: Italian, Greek, African American, Irish, etc): Russian Name of Character running the faction: Artyom "Art" Pavlova Your Discord # (ex: gamer#4210): tobins Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:526506620 Your Server playtime: 1mo 3w 2d 6h 20m = 1288 Hours Do you acknowledge and agree to all faction rules as detailed on the server rules page? (Yes/No): Yes Do you acknowledge that your faction discord will be owned by us? (Yes/No): Yes Provide an example of the unique Roleplay your faction will bring to the server/what type of roleplay we can expect from your faction (Images/Videos Preferred): Businesses We plan on opening businesses that divert from the typical restaurant or social club that 90% of the factions do in the server by opening unique business with their own opportunity of RP such as a Security Firm to help us stand out and attract people to our buildings so they have an enjoyable time instead of drawing straws to decide what restaurant they will go eat at. But for instance in the building there will be consultations with clients and many /me commands during the appointments. The main goal of our businesses is to retain people inside of them and keep people engaged for extended amounts of time as compared to a grab and go store to enhance roleplay. The goal of the Security Firm is to allow people (civilian or connected) the ability to enter the building and hire security for various events if it would be a dinner party at their own property or simply coming with them to a deal (Legal or Illegal) so the scale of the security can be matched in certain packages for the clients needs. Another shell company we intend to operate is an Insurance/Financial Institution in where people can pay a monthly fee to insure your items which could be suits/weapons and of course insurance fraud might cause to be an issue but clients will be chosen carefully to ensure it doesn't happen. This will add a new blend of businesses that will be unique and yet to be seen. This will set us apart from other factions and will put us as the only people in the market so it wont be oversaturated by a bunch of people trying to recreate due to how generic it is. Faction Goals Another goal that we want to meet is to provide a neutral meeting ground for faction sit downs. For instance if the stakes are high and neither of the factions can trust going to eithers property we can provide a service with security for both factions for a respectable fee so we can be engaged with factions in a positive aspect. Security for such events would include but not limited to: Pat-downs, meeting mediators, armed security inside, and lookouts around the block in civilian clothes. A meeting mediator will be sat at the meeting table to help the parties come to put forth an unbiased opinion to help reach a reasonable conclusion. Running clubs were a big part of Russian organized crime in America and we plan to reflect this in game by either acquiring the nightclub or the pharmacy and utilizing The Den. Though this is rather generic, we still want to keep the values of real life to generate an authentic experience. Bouncers will be used and a membership based system will apply for different tables in the club for separate perks with an option to rent out the nightclub for private events. Apparel Apparel is a key component in defining a faction and this is planned to be portrayed by distinguishing people affiliated with the faction (associates) from full fledged members of the Bratva. This will be shown by affiliated members wearing less formal clothes when in public. And full members wear darker toned formal attire as to not look like a traffic signals and to give off a serious demeanor when conducting business or running a property. The proper execution of enforcing apparel policy will build respect between the different ranks and be more comparative to real life. Provide examples or event ideas to promote activity within your faction and keep people interested. (Reference your unique RP from the question above): To promote activity and keep people engaged is a big goal for our faction as we bring innovative RP to the server. We plan on actively engaging with each other and other factions by bringing some new events with a twist on them. A few we had in mind are below. Security Challenges A fun event we plan on doing to help people train securing buildings for the security company is utilizing Security Challenges by having members protect our property, a townhouse, an allied property, etc. Security personnel are challenged to protect the building from invaders with paintball guns. This will build strategy and provide a shooting training for members as well as just be a good time in general for everyone involved. Shooting Competitions Shooters compete in a shooting range environment to shoot targets (watermelons or busts) with a semi-automatic weapon and the winner is decided by who completes the course the fastest. Missing a shot will add to the shooters time. This will be a fun new way for people to get used to fighting in 1st person a lot more and give people something to look forward for. Constant Deals We intend to constantly have crew deals running for members to look forward to as well as supply members with risk free connects to ease their grinding and minimize getting scammed, mugged, etc. Family Outings By connecting with our members by constantly going out to dinners, server events, or simply walking around with each other as a group and participating in activities with create a stronger bond with our members and will hopefully retain more members. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rank Translations for Italians!

Give me your ideas on this

he must've paid for that shit no way

the actual good parts of that map !

when pendred gives you everything (a new map after multiple years) and you go to the forums to promote a map created 5 years ago..... (current map literally uses some of that maps assets too......)

It looks weird as fuck having to see playermodels flicker every 5 seconds as they move around the map/spawn. I asked a staff earlier, they said "speak to this guy about it, its dumb, we know, but we can't do anything about it." If moving it to a spot outside the map is not feasable, can you not make it invisible to anyone who is not a member of staff?? That would do the same thing and fix the t-posing playermodel flickering thats next to the blue lobster. This server is semi-serious, but having a blatantly obvious playermodel flicker breaks the feeling of "MUH IMMERSION!" and just looks goofy as hell anyway.

After 100 props the stacker tool refuses to work. I tried it with 100 boxes and different dupes or props and it all stops at 100, I also have 50 extra props available to use. Not sure if it is just me but it would be nice to be able to stack 150 times.

Whatever the fuck this is https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/ihef4752UiNcpuRgZ/d1337gYebRvX?invite=cr-MSxpbFcsMjA1NDM2MTcwLA

Few reasons for this. A. "Pager" is basically used to refer to Discord cuz theres no reason to bother using it cause to some, it seems highly redundant and 1980s actaually had a Bulletin Board System, as Well as Usenet, so while technically not discord, message boards did exist in the 80s. B. The pager system could really use a "copy to clipboard" or "type out pager information" button like the phone has. C. The pager system in general kinda needs a refreshment/overhaul, cause from what I can tell, nobody ever uses it except for maybe 1, 2 emails between future contacts every now and then. D. Extra: I understand the "deafen in discord" rule when being mugged, but a trade deal? Wouldint it make the deal/trade itself more efficent and streamlined, plus it could be the temporary member system Discord ALREADY HAS? They join, join a vc, do the deal, it happens in-game, then they leave the discord server, badda bing badda boom, shit gets done. (Extra aside, this issue also exists with the underground rumors chat. Make an ad for your drugs and shit? 50% of the time, nothing happens, you just wasted 100 dollars on it, and nobody responds because "police could be listening in/nobody trusts it" despite police never having access to it anyway unless they bug a brick phone which gets swapped after the 2nd weak, dropped in the ocean somewhere, and nobody would realistically grab it because its a burner phone. The other 50% is full of that chat calling you/others "feds" aka rats for no apparent reason. Honestly, if the only way cops can find out is bugging a phone via unscrewing one of the ends, putting in a bug, then screwing it back on (which could probably be noticed after a while or the phone would be chucked anyways because you're replacing them every 2 weeks as a security measure, or even shaking the phone/trying to find it), then listening in, and the radio issue is fixed by changing frequencies, why do people not trust rumor chat nearly at all? Are cops just always listening in 24/7?? This the 1984 novel??

yeah, its kosher nostra

I agree an update to the in game pager would be nice.. But bro, you're just asking to metagame when doing deals. Not everything is supposed to be easy or streamlined. There's supposed to be risk to selling drugs. Also, cops can get access to rumours a lot easier than whatever method you were told. You're not supposed to feel safe when going to a drug deal with a stranger. Just take the proper precautions.

The Reason why people do less and less deals via rumour is that there was the increase of undercover cops. Every faction (i hope) has clearly warned their associates in IC channels. People gain and lose their connections over and over again and it's a cycle. They share their connections because a dealer would do this in real life aswell. Why would you go on the darkweb and call a random number you don't know, when your local guy takes a bit of time but he is a trustable source. And yes the pager system doesnt really work or is not even used at all. But it's on the users who share their discords to keep everything on discord OOC and in the server via Radio's and Phones / VC/Chat in character.
