    Been roleplaying for nearly 14 years or so. I'm 24, Psychology graduate, Lithuanian, living in the UK. I enjoy roleplaying legal characters that require less time commitment and I find creating characters with strong sense of law & justice in environment full of criminals to be very unique. Right now I mainly enjoy roleplay for the creativity aspect of it, working on businesses that enrich the environment with new roleplay possibilities, here's a business I had in World before I quit. (This video was shot, edited and sound recorded IC'ly with the help of people roleplaying video-editors, DJs and voice actress. Only using OOC to share files)
  3. Been roleplaying for nearly 14 years so I have dipped my toes into many RP servers. My journey started off in SAMP with Streets of Los Santos, then LS:RP and others. Then I moved onto MTA RP servers like OwlGaming, MTA:RP and others. MTA servers have been my favourite throughout the years, due to good RP promotin rules and strict approach to CKs if you disregard your life. Then I upgraded my PC and moved to GTA:W

  5. I made a suggestion with both your and Biography's inputs. I think it would be great to set some guidelines to raise the standard regarding extortion racket and make it enjoyable for everyone.
  6. But then essentially you are being forced to comply to an illegal gang that you had no ties to and do not wish to engage with or risk being CK'ed or get your business destroyed. I understand If you are running an illegal poker club at the back of your business and then the gang extorts you for it. But if you're just a regular businessman it makes no sense to have a choice of either complying with the gang or getting CK'ed.
  7. I think the issue is when gangs ignore fear when doing the extortion rackets. As Aesthetics put it, best extortion racket RP is when the crime group already has some links to the business so the owner can't go to the police. If you simply threaten and harass the business owner, it is only normal to continue cooperating with the police. No sane business owner in 2021 would associate with criminals and put their families at risk instead of going to the police.
  8. Thanks for explaining the terms and that's an insightful response.
  9. This is a very good answer, I agree that extortion should be done when the business owner gets involved with a criminal group himself. But what is the right, or simply better response by the business owner if he is being racketeered in the "walk in and threaten" type of way that is most common?
  10. That looks cosy af!
  11. Good thread. I like that you added the research you've done. Best of luck.
  12. Exactly my concern. As a regular, legal character, one would always go out of their way to be on the side of the law and call 911 when in distress. But then that may put them in danger of CK. If they involve themselves with an OCG that also puts them in danger of being CK'ed.
  13. The title is self explanatory, curious to hear what people think about the concept in general. And also, Should refusal to pay the extortion fee by the legal businessman, and cooperation with the police be sufficient reason for the extortionists to CK the legal businessman character?
  14. Many of my ideas are not necessarily unique and notable for LC, also, they are more on a creative side and not necessarily meant to be super profitable. They are seen less common across communities and I figured worth sharing for anyone looking for ideas: 1. Theatre, or a bar with a podium for stand-up comedy, live music and such. 2. A restaurant, fast-food restaurant, or a café with a scooter food delivery service. Another possibility is to set up a food delivery service and go into partnership with various restaurants to be contracted to do food delivery during some of their opening times. 3. Liberty City style hot-dog and other food cart. 4. Photography and graphic design office (an actual office with people roleplaying inside and not just a forum thread that most rely on). Graphic design and photography, videography are often needed for business owners to create marketing material for them, just need to RP it properly, most tend to just skip the RP and get the deals done on OOC basis with these things... 5. Radio station owner. I am not talking about simply having your own radio station, I am talking about having an office for it, recording studio. The business part is creating voiced advertisements for businesses and playing them in-between your songs every 45mins or so based on a contract. I did this in another server for a brewery business and it was great, you can use IC DJs to help record and find actual players IC willing to do the voice recording as if it's their character speaking. Plethora of other possibilities too. 6. Account and/or Financial Advice firm. There are so many opportunities and space for creativity in the finance sector. If you are able to make invoices, create simple financial reports and systems for keeping track of finance and budgeting many businesses would appreciate it, as long you don't charge them too much as this is something for RP purpose. Once you have enough capital you could allow people to use your office as a brokerage to invest in stocks, index funds and such (you would have to be able to cover any profits the person or business makes for it, so it's more for rich characters). 7. Business and personal property security service. I am talking about patrol routes, response to alarms and panic calls, well-being checks, CCTV installations and such, not personal security. Once again, this business is not particularly profitable as most businesses will not pay a lot for such service unless you have staff onliny 24/7 working which is impossible. But this offers RP opportunities for many people. 8. Market research consulting firm. Constructing and taking surveys in LC or different boroughs for specific businesses, officials or agencies that have contracted you. This one you would need some understanding of data analysis and surveys, but it nevertheless has a lot of opportunities too.
  15. Personally, I do not like the idea of "Official" factions. I've spoken to leaders with "Official" factions and they are more concerned with posting screenshots on forums the same way youtubers are concerned with making quality content for their channels.

    Ah none my friend. I need a break from everything to do with Psychology for a good few years
  17. I agree. I don't mind the initial grinding phase, let the economy develop naturally. Inflation sucks.
  18. I agree. What is on you is on you. And for business roleplay this will encourage hiring security for cash transits that I always loved doing.

    Hi, I am recent Psychology graduate from Lithuania, living in the UK. Been roleplaying for atleast 12 years (First RP server I played at was SOLS on SAMP, then moved to MTA OwlGaming and other servers). I am mainly interested in legal roleplay as I find it is where I can be the most creative in terms of bringing various business projects to fruition that provide value and depth to the roleplay setting. However, although I like to start of as legal character, I enjoy organic character development depending on what happens. The past three years I have been roleplaying in GTA:W and would mainly be known as the owner of Mount Gordo Brewery ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB3hEC3dM6s ).
  20. I will be roleplaying a legal, law & order supporting type of businessman. The aim is to create more depth to the legal, corporate world.
  21. This is a complex issue, but I am on a side of severe punishments for severe crimes. What I hate as a legal role-player is being a victim of a crime where a perpetrator gets caught, just to come back targeting me for his crimes again in two weeks, completely unchanged. Where in reality I would not see that person anymore as he would be in jail for years.
