Making an Illegal Faction Thread




There is no template to follow, the basis is simple; create something unique that fits whatever story you're going for. What do we mean by this exactly? Describe your characters background, describe the other starting members in the faction, go into detail on the who, the why, the where, show us, show everyone else, that you actually care for your little group to become something more.

Due to the nature of the script, not everyone can be a full fledged official faction, and even so, that doesn't mean you don't need to make a thread look good! Remember, a good thread, or a sub-forum if you want one, is important to even become a Basic Faction.



Your Story

Start with what makes you unique. If you're wanting a biker gang, tell us where you came from and some story on it. It does not need to be made from scratch! Maybe you saw a movie and wanna base your crew around that, that's all perfectly fine! The contents is what makes your story unique, so stick with that.

Be Careful What You Include

Metagaming is an issue, it always will be. With that said, do not include things such as where you grow stuff or where people live. If this is a little mafia businesses, usually you run your operation through a business front. Do not give away the business or its location, obviously! If you're a biker gang, that is another story. You like this bar in Montgomery, that's fine, include pictures of it, that's not private information!

Strive for Realism

This does not mean do not have fun, this means be realistic in your actions. This isn't Fast and Furious, you don't have unlimited lives, massive amounts of funding or weapons everywhere. Even if your character may have everything, keep whatever you're running realistic. A mafia isn't gonna drive around with supped up Infernus' everywhere or low riders, they like luxury cars. Same goes for the little Pie Street gang down the road, low riders might be there choice for vehicles. Guns and drugs go into this as well. Would you have an entire arsenal of M4's and AK's? Not really.

Your goal here is and always has been, to stay low on the radar. Attracting police or public attention almost always leads to the demise of whatever you're leading. Time and time again it happens. My favorite is people wasting money on some glorious compound that stands out like the Northern Star, and then wonder how the police have seized it and the faction shut down within a month.

Always keep in mind that a few actions that don't look well on you, won't look well on the faction.

Have Fun!

These are undoubtedly the most entertaining enterprises you'll encounter on MTA. Government factions are usually strict, punctual, with businesses trying only to make money without breaking any laws. Illegal takes a whole new turn, and they are the life of the server. Enjoy yourself with the roleplay it provides!
