Was online last night for a couple of hours.

Find it a bit frustrating - got the races down to a T and can finish top 5 without too much hassle.

It's the shoot em up missions where people KEEP BLOOMIN DYING! I forget what they are actually called, the prison break ones...?

Haven't played with anyone on here on some of those missions, so that would be good if anyone is up for it? Thursday evenings are best for me, I think I've got next weekend free too for a super session with a fridge full of beer (shooting accuracy will decline)

I was in a free roam party last night which had the most hilarious argument going on between and American and a Scottish fella - had me chuckling for ages.
Those are called Heists and they're a faff, especially without a co-ordinated team, but we can probably get together a squad some time next weekend to help you out with them if you're new.

Most people have the nail on the head. Arguably I could keep this whole thing and the community going but there's only so much you can do with the same things and the limitations of the game system. The other problem is just how people don't have as much time to get all the new stuff we might have played around with - after the Retinues bankrupted half the crew, I think that was the tipping point where everyone just decided 'this is too much' and the game's kinda been put on the shelf.

I still have great times with the crew, and you guys are probably the best gaming friends I've had, but there's only so much you can manage.

It doesn't help that everyone has a specific thing they like and trying to get you all to do a bit of everything means usually there's a few people happy and everyone else miserable like with the offloading session a few weeks ago, or a shooting event, or car darts - someone's always moaning that it's not their thing. Means if I do want to get the crew together we have to do something we ALL enjoy and that... doesn't really exist.

Anyway, sorry for the moan. If you guys do see me on feel free to throw me a party invite, I'll be there to help if I can.

Edit: Clarification for what Jobbo was on about: https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/603...

From the article:

Tax season is upon us and with 2017's population growth, the San Andreas Treasury Department is happy to report a new stimulus for all citizens - hustlers, triggers, shot callers and kingpins alike. Plus, take advantage of new state-wide GTA$ rebate program to spend on anything in GTA Online; from sensible investments like Executive Offices to submarine-sports car hybrids like the Stromberg.

Simply log in to GTA Online at any point between February 16th and 26th to qualify for a GTA$250,000 stimulus bonus. Also, all GTA$ spent in GTA Online between February 16th and 26th will get you a 10% rebate (up to GTA$1M cash back). Then come back after February 27th to claim your GTA$ stimulus bonus and GTA$ rebate.

All GTA$250,000 stimulus bonuses and GTA$ rebates will arrive in your Maze Bank account between February 27th and March 6th.

Now regretting spending $2.4m on a Stromberg yesterday rather than today. Which means I’ll go off and find a money glitch; way to go, Rockstar!

Well, I'm still up for any Sunday night antics... racing, adversary modes ... not plane racing....

I have about 6 million left! - might login and buy that new off roader...

Yup. Couple of Rockstar races but main event will be a proper drag strip night, so bring something either cool or good in a straight line. We'll have a bit of a car show so bring something original if you can for style points.

If you can confirm that you'll be there so I can make up the elimination bracket for the drag competition I'd appreciate that by the way.

I’ll be there - what time are we starting? Might need to log on beforehand just to make sure I have an appropriate car.

Thanks all for turning up, lots of fun! I think me not being a control freak is perhaps a little better for all of us, will keep that in mind in future!

That was a nice variety and a good fun evening.

When we did the drag racing with muscle cars in the LS River, was that set up as a GTA race or done in freemode?

Yeh, thanks challenger for doing the playlist.... not thanks for being my sumo teammate... incidentally, when you were on the other team I went undefeated!

Sorry if my Yosemite was a bit class breaking!

And apologies for my jumping around; if any of you saved videos of it, I'd be interested to see.

I meant to, but forgot! Shame, as it was quite funny seeing you go over that jump and carry straight on up into the air

One of the funniest I saw was the first left hand corner of Power Stations at the top of the hill, you went round the corner following the road correctly, but were about 20 feet in the air laugh

Since nobody was jumping around on my screen, I would appear to have had the advantage laugh

Except Eased, who on the drag race was going down the left hand land on the return leg while I was in the right, when suddenly he appeared in front of me. I think I knocked him off but couldn't really tell. If so, profuse apologies Eased.

As for sumo, that was another matter!
Trying to hit a car that is never where it shows it is certainly brought a new angle to it haha!
