    I don't usually make a habit of 'advertising' my organisation, but we're probably the closest thing you'll find to a 'street gang'. That said, we're more like the Black Mafia than the Crips or Bloods, but we will be heavily involved in the drug trade, and there's nothing stopping you from gangbanging if you so choose. 

    I'll add that we will be accepting members whose only interest is gangbanging. If you don't want to involve yourself in the drug-trade, but do want to sit on a corner, wear our colours, and shoot at people who piss you off, that is most certainly an option as well.

    Sounds great in theory, but this would be far too easy to infiltrate. In fact, it's a detectives dream. Do you have any measures in place to avoid becoming a shopping list for police?

    Nice idea, but the name is very on the nose. And honestly, the only reason I'd join a group like this is for political influence, so I have a feeling this will be pretty empty.

    Hitler wasn't a communist in the first place, in fact he was vehemently anti-Communist. Stalin was a Communist, and we all know how well that went. The point is, communism has been shown not to work. This is a lost cause, admit it.

    The Drayton Syndicate

    The Drayton Syndicate is an organisation specialising in the manufacturing and trafficking of illicit drugs. The group is led by Vince “Freeze” Drayton and his younger brother Lamar “Breezy” Drayton, and is mainly made up of young African-American men. In addition to drug trafficking, the syndicate is involved in murder, intimidation, and money laundering.

    Organisational Structure

    Much like a mafia family, the Drayton Syndicate is ruled by a single boss, with the help of a second-in-command, who advises the boss and assists in the day-to-day operations of the organisation. Cooks work in stash-houses, manufacturing and preparing drugs for sale. Hoppers or slingers deal drugs on the street under the supervision of a crew chief. All members of the organisation work as soldiers, taking orders to kill rivals and carry out wetwork when necessary.

     

    History

    The Drayton brothers first got involved in drug trafficking when Vincent took a job working for legendary Roseport drug trafficker "Big Rick" Staffield. Vince quickly worked his way up the ranks of the Staffield Syndicate, eventually becoming Rick’s chief enforcer and lieutenant. Vince earned the nickname "Freeze", on account of his cold-hearted and ruthless attitude in dealing with anybody who threatened his or Rick’s power. When he was of age, Lamar began working as a soldier under Vince, and quickly proved himself a competent enforcer. Staffield began to worry that the Drayton brothers were too ambitious and powerful, and so decided to have them killed. "Big Rick" knew that the two were extremely dangerous enforcers, and so had his nephew "Slim Bobby" Staffield throw a pipe-bomb into their apartment. Lamar’s girlfriend was killed, but both Vince and Lamar survived. The brothers promptly went into hiding and began plotting to strike back at their former mentor. About three weeks after the attempt on Vince and Lamar’s lives, the torso of “Slim Bobby” was discovered, headless and without any limbs in the dumpster behind “Big Rick’s” pawn shop. By the time the week was out, “Big Rick” Staffield had fled town, and the Staffield Syndicate was defunct. With the path clear, the brothers established their own organisation - the fearsome Drayton Syndicate.

     

    Joining the Syndicate

    There are a few ways to join the Drayton Syndicate. Firstly, you can simply send a message to myself here on the forums explaining why you think you should be accepted into the organisation. Secondly, if you run into us in RP and prove your competence, we will likely offer you a job. Although dedicated career criminals will feel more than at home in the syndicate, there is money to be made by part-time hoppers who simply want to get some cash in their pockets.

     

    In Closing

    It is important to remember that the Drayton Syndicate is not about gangbanging or thugging. While we bear certain similarities with the Crips, or Bloods (for example), the organisation is more akin to a mafia family than anything else. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or in a private message. As of right now, the organisation has between 10 and 14 active members. If you're up to make cash, reach out and we'll talk. Until next time,

     

     


    It's all in the game, yo.

    I have to say I really like what I'm seeing here. Remember that having such a wordy entry might dissuade some otherwise competent people from reaching out to you about joining. Which server will The Agency be based on?

    Already it looks as if drugs will be a lucrative business for many criminal organisations in Identity, but there is surprisingly little information about how it's going to work. 

    I see two potential ways: 

    1) Different drugs have different positive effects which serve as incentives for people to use them. This would be ideal, as it would mean that there is a market for drug manufacturers to sell to. You could have, for example, 5 different organisations dealing drugs to the public. Not only would this be the best for roleplay, as you'd have to hire actual drug dealers to unload the product on the streets, but it could lead to wars between organisations trying to dominate the market and remove their competition.

    This would, however, hinge on drug-use being beneficial. For example, methamphetamine could provide a minor speed-boost and make you slightly more impervious to damage. Maybe marijuana could make it so that you level up your various skills slightly faster. Obviously the effects of taking drugs couldn't be so good that they would make PvP one-sided, but good enough that the effects are noticeable and drive people to buy drugs. Obviously, to stop people from simply manufacturing their own drugs for personal use (as opposed to selling them to others), it would need to be made so that getting into the drug manufacturing business requires quite a bit of start-up. 

    The reason I haven't suggested giving drugs negative-side effects is because then why would people use them? The negative side-effect would be that using the same drug enough times builds up a resistance, which means you need more of it to achieve the same effect. Also, using more addictive drugs (think methamphetamine, cocaine) would get you hooked, so that if you go long enough without taking them you start to feel withdrawal symptoms which initially aren't so bad, but get quite a bit worse unless you get your fix. Obviously, there would need to be a way to cure your addiction, so you might be able to pay a large amount to go to rehab, which would completely cure you of your addiction (though maybe you would still retain your tolerance in the event of a relapse) but obviously drain your bank account.

    2) Ideally, there wouldn't be an NPC system for drugs (as explained before, NPCs really hurt roleplay), but in the event that there was, the other option is a way that would potentially spice things up. Instead of NPC dealers having an infinite supply of each drug, it could be made so that each dealer in each city has an 'inventory'. Every time a player drug-manufacturer sells meth to a dealer in Roseport, for example, they suddenly have meth which other players can buy from the NPC for their own use. The more meth an NPC has, the lower the price for meth as the demand would be lower. Only if a manufacturer had actually sold a particular drug to the NPC drug dealer could people buy that drug from him. If this was tied in with the addiction system, it could lead to addicts travelling into another city just to find a particular drug (if there wasn't any on the local market). Thanks to @PaulieMariano for help with this one.

    You aren't going to get many good answers here. Everybody is going to say that their own gang is the most powerful, the largest, and the most infamous. @IDEN would answer that his crime family is the best, just like I would say that mine is the best.

    There are more than a few 'organisations' on here which are downright idiotic and have no real plans, but I won't name names because all that would do is start an argument. In other words, do your own research and reach your own conclusion, because everybody here is 100% biased.

    No, it wouldn't be fair to the people who aren't really interested in role-playing. And also, I could buy 500$ worth of game and be unable to play because a random guy thinks that I'm not good enough. If you want whitelist, find a private server.

    I know you're talking about Arma 3 (not sure why) but I've heard this same argument made about this game. The answer is: people who aren't interested in roleplay really shouldn't be buying a roleplay game.
