Stuff I'd like to point out. Please read.

I can understand that with all the anus sliding of pussy shotguns it can be a little discouraging to RP but as I said

Doing 20x /me's before pulling out a gun != RP.

It's just the same everywhere, isn't it? Drugs, kills, properties, money and cars. Is that what it's all about? If you answered yes then damn, you're the one wrong.

You forgot about fucking bitches.
It's all about the money n' hoes, otherwise there's no point to crime.

But what bothers me the most is, the same people who bad girl about people NOT roleplaying are the people who don't roleplay, or even try to.

Instead of suspecting or chasing down to kill a new player cause he punched you, try teaching him a thing or two.

Indeed good points.

I consider this a moan topic.

That is exactly my point. Thanks for the reiteration.

I must have lost the context somewhere down the line, sorry.

This is 100% accurate about the Mafia part. Many Mafia Families currently do not act as a real La Cosa Nostra style. The soldiers do whatever they want, they speak of crimes in public, drive sports cars, no one kick's up a piece of their earnings to the superior, it's nuts. Not all the time Mob's are in shootouts or kidnapping the enemy, it's a lot more than that. For those who are trying to do the Mafia RP, but do not know how to come across it, I'd suggest watching The Sopranos, the TV show. It's a very good representation of the American Mafia and how things work.

Most Mafia's avoid conflict with the law as it's bad for business. They buy corrupt cops to help protect them from the legitimate. If they kidnap someone they don't call the police (see prior point) they use them to negotiate a point or money from another family or business entity.

I'd recommend watching the godfather series.

This is a thing I wish the high ranked Police agreed to, bribery. Most of the time, if you offer bribery and have some cops in your pocket, you get /su'ed instantly. It's not a fair RP, and cops should be more lenient when it comes to that. Godfather is also another good series to watch. Mafia isn't about killing people for the most part, it's business.

Hm, the problem is, if you RP a corrupt cop, there's no way you're gonna get up there in the ranks, and most if not all high ranked SAPD members don't want to risk it as it's really not that hard for it to get leaked or investigated and that would lead to them losing their rank. Sure, there are some people that RP corrupt officers but they just keep getting copbanned, accused of trolling, they will never actually get into an influential position.

Tell that to jcstodds, he used to sell the confiscated weed.

 If approached correctly any cop can be turned into a pocket one, you just gotta know how to handle it. But let's not derail the topic. Asta has a point, Roleplay should be the core of every group on this server and I can say without a doubt that since RS5 came out, all the non-RP groups either disappeared or improved into a functional one. You don't find that much non-Roleplayers around anymore, which I'm more than happy to see.
 I'm also really grateful of all the groups that managed to have a reasonable talk and end their conflicts in the past few weeks, thank you for hearing me out(You know who you guys are).
 And to all group leaders, upcoming or ones on the top, I suggest you try working out a pyramidal structure of ranks or a horizontal line type of rank system. Either have people taking care of people under you, or have a democratic type of group in which everyone's opinion is heard out and everyone has a right to suggest and do what he wants(Like what I've been trying to achieve in the Angels of Death).

Not just sell it, but also gave away confiscated weed and heroin during event called "Police leak of information"...

People acting like a worthless piece of shit, is usually a worthless piece of shit, huh? And, "You can f**k right off." isnt exactly a nice sentence from a division leader is it? Pretty sure you wouldnt accept it if I said it to you?

If you can not handle direct language then you can f*ck off.

[Gandalf]

Great post and I hope it makes some people consider how they play.

First of all do not consider anyone on server your real life enemy. You may feud with them in game, but that does not mean real life hate.

Next thing is creativity. Try to do something new, something that you never done in roleplay before. It is easy to do the same thing over and over again, but it also gets boring. To keep yourself alive, think of new things.

Kidnappings are actually boring. Everyone knows how it will go. The kidnapped person might as well go AFK because all he can do is sit still and be on PM or cb to waste time. The kidnappers call the cops and stock on weapons to kill as many as possible, and the cops get another shooting gallery. Is that really fun enough to repeat 100 times daily?

Criminals are supposed to stay away from getting caught, not to be as much wanted as possible. As for bribing cops the following. Being Russian we know a lot about cops taking bribes. But even the most corrupt cop will take offense and try to arrest you if you come up to him and ask him to take money. Be subtle and creative about it.
When asked for your drivers license, slip $20 in it (and actually send it), but without affering it as a bribe. Now the cop has two choices. Either send it back telling you accidentally put money there, or playing along. He can not /su you as you never offered him anything, yet the idea is clear. Once you know he takes small money, you can press on him. After all he will lose his job if found out. Now you as mafia have someone in the police force that must do some things like warn you if there are cops on the way to an operation. And by payng him you keep him interested as well as possibly in line to be fired.  You can make it a short play, or make it a long one where you support him getting promoted.

In the end it all comes down to having some imagination and trying something different.

[Kessu]

In addition to what Gandalf noted down, ARPD cannot investigate a possibly corrupt cop from the server logs. (Atleast that should be the case )

So, unless someone sees you bribing or someone talked, the cop should not get caught

Today Rey and me were hiding for the rain... That is what I call a good start 

Same moment a car passes, and a player said "BIACH" to a cop that was standing nearby us... We didn't hear you mate.. the storm was to heavy and your windows were closed! not a good start...
