Script Updates Galore!

Over the last few months, our development team has been hard at work, releasing a new major script update nearly every week for a very long time, with various hotfixes and small bug patches in between. Scripting a server with as many features as we do, from scratch, is a monumental task, thanks to Daniel, Chaos, Yannick, Jer and Courtez! We encourage everyone to continue to make use of our script suggestion forum and our public roadmap. Community involvement and suggestions are important to use in figuring out the priority of certain features.

Generic Items

One of the major features that have been released recently which we're quite proud of and want to showcase specifically is the generic item system, allowing players to place chairs, tents, or any other kind of item they can imagine in their home, properties, or even outside. All without needing any special permissions, approval, or donator perks! These generic items will be purchasable in-game very soon, but for now, any admin can assist you in spawning them. Moving these items around is also easy and they may be locked, to prevent powergaming tampering with them.

A comprehensive list of generic items can be found HERE.

Lots of players have been requesting a way to save and manage multiple outfits without needing to micro many multiple pieces of individual clothing to get that exact look you want, so we've delivered. This is another big feature recently that we're excited about and we hope will be a major quality of life improvement. We've also added a bunch of new clothing pieces to compliment the outfit update.

Special thanks to Crane for bringing these clothing additions to our attention.

Farewell Jer

Recently, Jer has decided to step down from his position as a scripter. We all wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the server during his time with us.

We hope to continue to see you hanging around the Discord!

Starter Packages & Community Stat Transfers

We wish to remind everyone that we offer faction starter packages and server transfers, to help facilitate roleplay as soon as possible when someone joins our server. When we say we're a serious text-based roleplay server, we mean it! We don't want assets to be a major limiting factor in what someone can roleplay.

To get started with a faction starter package, make a Faction Team Contact HERE. In the contact, you'll be able to explain what kind of faction you intend on making, how many people you are bringing with you, what kind of assets you'll need to roleplay your faction adequately from day one (properties, vehicles, guns, etc.) and the Faction Team will be in touch shortly to help sort out the details.

If you've put time and effort into other roleplay communities and wish to join OwlGaming without having to start from scratch, fear not! You can transfer your assets from other servers, with certain restrictions. We would rather someone with a lot of roleplay experience on V put their time and energy into creating roleplay in the server, rather than having to focus on getting money for their first few hours. Assets that we readily approve for transfer are properties, vehicles, and money, up to a certain limit. You can do this by submitting an Upper Administration Contact form, HERE. Simply describe who you are, offer proof of your assets in another community, and we'll be in touch as soon as possible to sort out the details.

We're actively looking into automating these processes in-game, so players who do not check our forums know about these options.

Community Events

Vubstersmurf hosts events nearly every week with her company in-game, Sabre. Big thanks to QueenC ItsMelodyy and Ashamar for also creating these events! In addition to this, admins are actively encouraged to create roleplay events and scenarios in-game for players. If you're a player and you have an idea for an event or a scenario for an admin to create or facilitate, don't hesitate to send them a PM! In addition to solving any disputes or issues players may have, we are encouraging our admins to act like dungeon masters and make roleplay scenarios more interesting or create them from scratch to give players a chance to meet each other and roleplay together.

Many of these events are announced through advertisements that are displayed in our #in-character Discord channel and our forums.

FACTION SHOWCASE

Jamestown Neighbourhood Piru

Quote

The Bloods street gang began at the Centennial High School in Compton, California and were originally known as the Piru gang - Piru meaning Piru Street in Compton, California.
The Bloods street gang has become one of the most violent and notorious street gangs active in North America today. With active chapters stretching from the southern United States border into Canada’s larger cities such as Montreal and Toronto, the Bloods continue to further expand their influence by opening new chapters. Emerging Bloods subsets form per the influence of larger Bloods gangs with organizational hubs in cities including Los Santos, New York City, and Chicago. Originally a gang with membership exclusive to African-Americans, many Bloods gang sets today recruit Asian, Caucasian, and Latino members.

The Bloods were initially formed in the City of Los Santos during the 1970's to protect neighborhoods from rival gangs and anti-civil rights protests. After the introduction of crack cocaine in the 1980's however, the Bloods along with other street gangs became central drug shops and middlemen for large-quantity suppliers. Throughout this time the Bloods rivaled many other gangs including other Bloods sets for drug territory. As Latino street gangs grew in membership and power, fighting amongst African-American street gangs fell in terms of priority. Many of the 78 identified Bloods gangs in South Los Santos during the 1990's unified in several gang networks to defend against Latino gangs, some even including long-time gang rival the Crips.

Despite warring against Latino gangs in South Los Santos, Bloods gang sets continued to grow while new ones emerged. By 2000 six new major Bloods gang sets had been identified, three of which were reported to be based in East Los Santos. Most prominent of these three is the Money Made Mafia Bloods set. Comprised of two subsets, the Money Made Mafia Bloods are a Piru-affiliated street gang headquartered in the 300-unit Crystal Gardens housing project lot of the South Side and is one of two Bloods gangs currently active in the South Side.

The Bloods present a significant threat to correctional administrators not only due to their predatory and violent behavior but more importantly due to their intense rivalry with the Crips. As do the Crips, the Bloods have a strong fascination with assault-type weapons.

California Bloods sets are typically from South-Central Los Angeles; they have similar attitudes about group loyalty and violence. Like the Crips, the Bloods love to be in the limelight. They are especially arrogant and believe that acting naive about them conveys weakness. Bloods members will seize every opportunity to lie and portray the image that they respect only those who are “bigger and worse”.

Traditionally, the Bloods Street gangs have always worn red colors, using red bandana's or red rags; similar graffiti and graphics styles, expressing their disrespect and resentment for Crips and Crips symbols. Recently, a new trend appears to have arisen. Bloods in some eastern states have reportedly been known to wear brown, tan and rust or burnt orange colors to represent "Dried" blood.
