All,
I've been witnessing a lot of negativity on this forum and in-game. It's a cultural element that has been maliciously embedded into the values of Argonath players and component to the recent demise in motivation, commitment and being within the community. In contrast to this, I'm keen to understand what our peers are doing to make Argonath a better place for regulars, new players and all stakeholders involved.
I'm extremely proud to see many people commit their time to our community in lucrative ways. Whether training new players, helping peers, or developing the infrastructure we all enjoy playing upon. I will start off by including what I and our conjoined group Inferno 9 [i9] are doing within Argonath to make it a better place.
I'm part of a group called Inferno 9 [i9] which is set up based on the principles which Rage Incorporated [RI] was founded upon. These principles consisted of showing great tolerance towards new players and being focussed towards their development in line with the Argonath vision. Unlike many fashionable groups and clans, we have strenuously worked towards instilling them with tailored values to ensure they adhere to regulatory enforcements whilst entertaining themselves safely in the process in aim of becoming benchmark community members.
Gas Station 9 / Inferno 9 [i9] is home to a criminal RP hub which encourages players from all backgrounds to become involved regardless of being new or experienced. Inferno 9 [i9] is a similar concept based on single player missions which orientate around four main characters called Big Smoke, Ryder, Sweet and Tenpenny who hand out missions in return for respect and financial rewards.
Each Inferno 9 [i9] was recruited based on strict merits which fit in line with our values and vision of becoming an influential and prestigious roleplay group within Argonath. Each Inferno 9 [i9] member is responsible for assigning out missions depending on the experience level of players involved. For example, when a new player is spotted, we purchase clothes for him, teach him basic things and offer him a chance to work along side experienced players. We then proceed to hand on small missions such as bringing back a Turismo to GS9. We then proceed to reward the player accordingly. As their experience level grows, the financial reward in adjusted in line. In time, we monitor their performance, their behaviour, their attitude their talent and make adjustments where appropriate. Players often then continue with their Argonath career in search of new goals whether being the ARPD, starting their own group or joining another.
Summary:
- Inferno 9 [i9] strive to instil benchmark traits into new and experienced players.
- Inferno 9 [i9] populate a remote location (GS9) which promotes criminal roleplay.
- Inferno 9 [i9] strenuously help new players to attain success within community.
- Inferno 9 [i9] rewards roleplay in turn for financial reward.
- Inferno 9 [i9] develop players to a high level of standard therefore they can pursue their future goals.
I'm extremely keen to hear how others benefit our community. I encourage all to get involved regardless of being new, experienced or being part of the administration. Come on, don't be shy - get involved. :)
-
I hope your post wasn't too long, because apparently an invalid character screwed up the rest. :lol:
-
What i will try to do is change the economy of the server.
By using these "unpopular vehicles" and beating people in races, so that vehicle would become rare etc.. if you know what i mean.
-
What i'm going to do?
The same thing i always do.. Help people to get themselves out of trouble.. Some people actually stayed out of it after! :)
-
SA:MP would never change if you ask me, wether you're an admin project or not.
-
Increasing roleplay standards of myself and attempting to do so with as much police as possible. Looking at Argonath from a criminal's eyes to try and create a better balance..
-
Roleplay is good here.
-
Stop caring about others, care more about yourself, and focus on yourself. If everyone focuses on themselves it will eventually be a better place.

That is all we can do, since it seems alot of people dont give a sh*t about roleplaying with anyone else but their friends, or cop/robber bullsh*t.
-

Quite the opposite. If we want to move forward, we MUST care about the others.
The future is a uncut gem.

The SA:MP server will only change if SA:MP players change their ways and attitudes, they perfectly know what they are doing to cause trouble.
Anyone who thinks I am stereotyping is wrong, I've identified many times who are the trouble causers and who are the ones who are here to have fun and enjoy the server RP and other things that it provides.
And so going back to the question of the topic, me, and the rest of TeaM are trying to bring our original RP methods from MTA:VC to teach SA:MP players that there is more to Argonath then just money and being powerful.

+ Improve driving skills myself and others, so the RP would be smooth without ramming into people and objects.

Playing it as a game. All you need to do to make it a better place, is play it as a game, kick back don't take it so seriously.

Sup3r. You should be ashamed of ruin a good topic with such a ugly picture lite that one. Grow up, jesus.
I will try to teach as many players as I can, and honestly try to help people with their lives IRL. Players who plays here usually got a lot of problems outside as well, so I'm trying to help them in that way as much as possible.
I will try to change my attitude towards some players, which can be kinda though sometimes.

If we are able to find traits, we could pair people up to strengthen the bond of particiular areas.

true lets leave frank to talk about his adventures while protecting the golden shit
-
lmao supermanmk, people could learn alot from you.
I need to study how to protect the golden shit though
-
Fact is that all communities apart from SA:MP experience alot of friendship.. Guess people on SA:MP just don't know what Argonath is about.
Fun & Friends, not some moaning about a golden shit or whatever this nonsense is supposed to be.
Don't you see it yourself?
-
its not moaning uhhh some people are just not educated.

Super, Yourself, just turn off the computer and don't turn it back on, not that hard is it?
On topic: I teach alot of new players the rules, Ask them If they've received their starting money and then teach them how to buy a skin, get a job, Grow weed/heroin.
Always answering questions on the chat /p.
-
I try to do community patrols when im on police duty, helping new players, strengthening the civilian - police tie to regain their trust. But half of the time im in a shootout, dealing with a moaning suspect, or in a pursuit to have a nice talk with people. Another point i'd like to point out frank, is the Shootouts at GS9, im totally fine with you promoting criminal roleplay, that was the only thing that i wanted to do when i first joined BUT the constant shootouts around the GS9 area don't help the community one bit. You see, the new players and even some of the regulars get the idea that cops are a target to kill, to look forward to a chase but that is not our job. Our job is to maintain and restore peace, law and justice in the state of San Andreas. Its a chain reaction, and we will do anything to stop this chain reaction. Here is a video of what i am talking about:
GS9patrol#001 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwaJTavvxG8#ws)
I am not targeting only the i9 members, to me they are some of the best role players but the constant trouble there must stop. I would propose a i9 - SAPD community relation meeting to discuss these points further, from you're point of view and ours.
-
Again its a virtuel world how are you making it better?
-
I encourage people, and inspire people, not to take many things seriously. As Capo in Gvardia, I have the right and duty to calm people the fuck down. If they complain in the main chat, I've got to calm them down, and get them to talk to me calmly, so we can sort it out (hopefully).
Many of you might notice my strange jokes. I realize some people do not appreciate them, but the people that do learn to laugh and play along, to understand me and each other, and to make to make a big deal of things that do not require so much attention or anger.

Lost souls

You see, if you parked at my gas station, I would probably shoot the f**k out of you, too.

Oh please just stop
-
Super, stop.
-
yes sir

[i9] is doing an impressive job at helping new players and bringing the community together and all this is due to Frank Hawk who without him Argonath would be a MUCH worse place I would just like to thank the man with the mind and guts to do what he does on a daily basis. I will admit I myself have not done much to unite this community, but if all thrive to just try and be happy in-game and on the forums Argonath will just be a godly place to hang out at, I am not saying that it isn't already but if players can stop fighting and such, well I myself would come back in game..
:ps: It looks like Mr.supermanmk is just causing problems on the forums and not making it a better place at all. Why isn't this guy forum banned yet?
-
Uhm, for last few weeks, I've been trying to help new players find their way around the game. Some of things I do is showing them how to use commands system, getting them set with phones, passports (by that I mean finding them a CMB teacher/examiner) and driving licenses (by giving lessons and exams on behalf of LSDS). I also try to support new players financially, so whenever I get few extra bucks in my bank, I wire them to a guy that needs them to buy a house or a car, or even a business. Also, if someone asks a question in public chat, I do my best to give him the most straightforward and simplest answer there is, unless the problem is complicated, in which case I'll send him a few PMs.

Gvardia general goals are not helping out the community, but our hard work in helping new groups in becoming stable in San Fierro which all remembers as a ghost town, menage to make community spread from Los Santos, and discover the role play opertunitys outside Los Santos. Groups like Diablos and Ancelotti, had our support, advises, and resolving problems in order to make them stay in San Fierro, and see the enjoyment of it, without gething under the pressure of "ghost town" which is a general goal from the developers itself, to spread the community though out San Andreas, and not only Los Santos. Also our recrutment of talented players, and developing them in to a respectable role plays and community members, and not just picking "the leetest members on Community" is in my opinion our greatest success.
Its easy to recruit a veteran respected member of a community in your group, but the real joey is to make them from ashes, which is more the enjoyable and they know to appreciate it more then any member would appreciate any group they join in future. For them Gvardia is Home, place they were teached most of the things, place they got there first and loyal friends in this virtual community, and place where they always have open doors for them.

I been helping new players around, I made my RP better, I try not to make big deal out of everything. thats all I guess

Thanks for expressing how you are playing your part in our community.
I'm especially pleased to hear thoughts from Gvardia and Cems, however we are still lacking the representation of Corleone and other groups within Argonath. I deeply encourage clan leaders to get involved here - particularly from WS, AV, TeaM and Rstar. I think it's important to understand that many people here have a common vision towards our community. If we finds traits among groups or people - we can consider pairing to work more effectively in benefit of our wider audience.
One thing to bear in mind when posting is that - you don't have to be helping new players to be benefiting the community. It can come through things such as speaking to a variety of different people, managing protests, organising shootouts and many more creative ways of contributing.
Please keep your view/contribution coming.

Many people actually think I'm a jerk and stuff, but my best experience in Argonath was helping new players and having fun with them.

Well like I said in my earlier post, we have a lot of projects and goals since we expanded to SA:MP to help players.
-
Fabio, could you disclose some information to provide a insight of the direction being taken?
-
Dont know if i didnt mention it before, but im going to Improve the SA Economy.

Well, as most people already know, a lot of players on SA:MP only give worry about getting their hands on money and power and they will do anything for it, even break the rules, which I have seen countless times, one of our goals is to bring our original roleplaying methods from MTA:VC to show and teach those SA:MP players that ArgonathRPG isn't about being the person with the most money or the most power.

SA:MP players would still see the money more valuable than roleplaying which I've seen countless times either. The question is, how possibly could you change that...? :roll:

Try to lead as a example to them.
