Chapters

• 00:00 - 00:30: Welcome and Co-Host Introduction Welcome to season 3 of our Roleplay Podcast, marking a significant milestone with the introduction of a new co-host for this season: Chatterabox the Clown. The host and the new co-host share a light-hearted moment over a nickname 'Mr. Box,' established by a member named Mickey, that has now become a popular moniker. The transition into the new season is marked with excitement and humor as they set the tone for upcoming episodes.
• 00:30 - 05:00: New Season and Sports Talk The chapter discusses a conversation where the host, allegedly Mickey, reflects on his preference for addressing people with the title 'Mr.' followed by their last name. This appears to be a personal quirk that is unique to his personality. Meanwhile, the production team introduces a new Chief of Production, Demoke, who humorously attempts to use a walkie-talkie sound effect but fails. Demoke's role is clearly to keep the conversation concise and focused, limiting the hockey discussion to five minutes. The chapter highlights the informal and friendly atmosphere among the team, emphasizing their rapport and teamwork.
• 05:00 - 10:00: Roleplay and Game Delays The chapter begins with the announcement of a roleplay podcast planned by the speakers, hinting at their intention to create more than five episodes. The conversation steers briefly into a current events segment, focusing on a major sports update. Specifically, one of the speakers reveals their support for the Winnipeg Jets in the Stanley Cup following the LA Kings' elimination. This pivotal moment appears to capture the excitement and anticipation of upcoming hockey games among fans, notably stirring emotions among Dallas fans.
• 10:00 - 15:00: Roleplay Characters and Memory Wipes The narrator begins by expressing enthusiasm for converting another American to the Canadian franchise of the Jets. The discussion transitions into preferences for team uniforms, with the narrator appreciating the Jets for their colorful schemes compared to the all-black uniforms of LA teams. The heritage and color scheme seem to appeal more to the narrator.
• 15:00 - 20:00: Roleplay Drama and Character Separation The chapter titled 'Roleplay Drama and Character Separation' delves into the intense atmosphere surrounding a sports series focused on goaltenders from Canada and America. It centers on Connor Hollowuck, whose performance has been uncertain, with the pressure affecting his play. The narrative compares him to the Canadian goaltender, highlighting a rivalry reminiscent of the 'four nations' series. The discussion emphasizes the superior performance of the Canadian goaltender and portrays the competitive drama between the two athletes.
• 20:00 - 25:00: New Servers and Roleplay Preferences The chapter discusses new servers and roleplay preferences as participants in the conversation analyze the performance of sports teams during playoffs. They specifically focus on the inconsistency of team performance when comparing regular season and playoff games. The conversation includes mentions of the Jets' struggle and the exceptional saves by Bob Rosski for Florida. The discussion wraps up with a brief digression about sports before returning to the main topic.
• 25:00 - 30:00: Roleplay Tools and Server Management The chapter discusses updates on the GTA 6 launch date announcement and initial reactions from the team. It includes the end segment of a podcast episode where the hosts transition from a discussion on hockey to talking about video game news. There is an expression of mixed emotions and anticipation surrounding the GTA 6 release date.
• 30:00 - 35:00: Server Dynamics and Administration The chapter discusses the common occurrence of game release delays, particularly focusing on a game by Rockstar. It highlights the fact that such delays, while often disappointing to some, are not inherently negative. The speaker expresses confidence in Rockstar's track record of delivering high-quality games, asserting that the wait will likely result in a better final product. Despite initial disappointment, the speaker reassures listeners of the positive outcomes of the anticipated delay.
• 35:00 - 40:00: Cops and Roleplay Adaptation The chapter discusses the anticipation and delay in the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6). It emphasizes that the delay is not necessarily a negative aspect because it allows the developers more time to create a quality game. The transcript addresses misconceptions about the development timeline, clarifying that work on GTA 6 did not span the entire period since GTA 5's release. The focus is on delivering a well-developed game to the audience.
• 40:00 - 45:00: 5.0 Expectations and Future Roleplay This chapter delves into the misconceptions surrounding the development of video games, using GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 as examples. It argues that game development is not as straightforward as assigning a single developer to start working on the next edition of a game once the current is shipped. Instead, it involves large, dedicated teams working on separate projects simultaneously. The discussion likely expands on the complexities and collaborative nature of game development, challenging simplistic expectations about the creation of new video game titles.
• 45:00 - 50:00: Community and Server Balance The chapter discusses the dynamics of community and server balance, using examples from the gaming industry, particularly focusing on GTA Online. The conversation touches upon how gaming companies, like the one responsible for GTA Online, manage multiple teams for different tasks, suggesting effective organizational strategies. The speakers express a critical yet understanding stance, acknowledging complaints while appreciating the consistent quality and reliability of games from certain developers. This balance of criticism and appreciation signifies the nuanced relationship between gaming communities and developers.
• 50:00 - 55:00: Roleplay Consequences and Character Permanence In this chapter, the discussion focuses on the concept of roleplay (RP) and the anticipation surrounding the release of GTA 6 RP. It highlights the nostalgia and temporary nature of certain RP environments, like the 'fun house,' which players will likely never revisit once GTA 6 RP launches. A key question arises about character permanence, specifically concerning the character 'Chatterbox' and their transition into the new GTA 6 RP world. The speaker confirms their intention to bring this character into GTA 6 RP, suggesting discussions around continuity and character adaptation in evolving RP settings.
• 55:00 - 60:00: Roleplay Diversity and Inspiration The chapter discusses the speaker's experience during a period they refer to as their 'perma era' or 'perma roll era' in roleplay gaming. During this time, they took significant risks which could have ended unfavorably but ultimately paid off. The speaker reflects on the importance of these risks and indicates they won't take more until the release of GTA 6. They express a desire to maintain iconic characters to continue their stories in future gaming versions.
• 60:00 - 65:00: Final Thoughts and Future Episodes The discussion revolves around the excitement of exploring new worlds with established characters that come with rich lore. There's a mention of personal plans to bring over a favorite character, Mickey, while acknowledging a habit of creating new characters frequently. The speaker expresses a desire to create something new for future episodes, showcasing a mix of continuity and fresh creativity.

The Jet The Jets are like I've always I've always kind of liked the Jets. You guys at least have like cool like Dude, I I I don't let Don't let LA hear this. I don't I just don't like the like I I guess like the all black is cool, but it's like there's no like there's no color in the in the uniforms, you know? Like the Jets have like a sick color scheme like ah they're heritage
• 02:00 - 02:30 jerseys, man. Um the whole time uh Connor Hollowuck, is he going to be able to start playing good? Like I didn't know. He's shaky as hell and the pressure is getting to him. But hey, look look right now in that series, it's it's the best American goalender in the world versus the best Canadian goalender in the world. It's basically a rerun of the four nations. And guess what? The Canadian goalender is just better. Crazy. Crazy how that
• 02:30 - 03:00 is. But you know, the Jets are still making finding a way to pull it off. You're talking [ __ ] about your own You're talking [ __ ] about your own goalie, man. I am, bro. If you've watched any of those games, man. I It's bad. How do you how do you play so good in a season, then get into the playoffs and be like, I'm just not going to save anything anymore? Oh my god. And meanwhile, dude, I didn't know about playoff Bob Rosski. Did you see the saves he made for Florida? An animal. Oh my god. My Okay. And as a side note, and we're done. Okay. Anyways. All right.

Anyways guys, thanks for tuning in to the Roleplay Podcast. We'll be back in two. Uh, no, I mean like I I don't even know like so much what to discuss about, but let's I mean it is the big news. GTA 6 has an announced date or launch date now, even if it's disappointing some people. Your first impressions, thoughts. What did
• 03:30 - 04:00 you think? Uh, not surprised. I called this from the long run cuz this is what happens every time with a good game. They're going to delay it. Uh I knew like I I figured it wasn't coming out 2025. Uh look for all the haters out there, this is what I'm going to say to you, okay? It's not a bad thing. Yes. Thank you. Oh my god. It's not a bad thing because when has Rockstar ever gave you a bad game? Never. Every time they give you a game, it's [ __ ] awesome. Okay. They
• 04:00 - 04:30 delay GTA 6. Okay, just because they're focusing on making another good game. So, a delay is not bad. And everybody keeps saying, "Oh, it's been 13 years, 14, whatever, however long it's been." Okay, they just they said at the end of GTA 5 that when they released that that that was it. Okay, they haven't been working on this game for 13 years, you guys. They just work started working on it when they announced it. So, they delayed it because they're still working on it. They're going to give you a good
• 04:30 - 05:00 game. All right. I I think I think people with like with video games and how they work, people think that like I don't know like Dave from accounting like needs to be like like coding like it's like GTA 5 ships and like okay Dave like start coding for GTA 6. It's like that's not how it works, right? Like also they they're like you know they were working on Red Dead 2 for a while. They have a whole they have like multiple teams working on different things. They probably have a whole other team that was dedicated to
• 05:00 - 05:30 um I don't know GTA online, right? They have some team that you know went and bought 5M, right? Like that they're like clearly they have multiple teams doing things. Absolutely. Absolutely. Look, I know everybody just likes to complain, you know, and I'm one of them with specific things, but like look, you guys can't name one badstar game. So, just saying. That's true. They Yeah, they never they never let us down with stuff. So, I mean, take this as a as a good thing. And look, and in RP chat,
• 05:30 - 06:00 listen listen, in RP specifically, like one more year of the fun house. Come on. Come on, clowns. You know what's up. Cuz when GTA 6 RP drops, we're never going to roleplay there ever again. And that's a fact. We will never see that house again. So, keep Why are you Why are you trying to like Okay, actually, here's an interesting question. Do you are you going to bring over the character Chatterbox into the world of GTA 6? Yeah. Yeah, I am. Uh there was a
• 06:00 - 06:30 there was there was a moment that it wasn't going it could have not happened and that was during my perma era, my perma roll era. And uh on your per on my perma era. Yeah, I took some risks there, but we got through those risks and I'm not taking any more of those risks until uh GTA 6 had a good time. So, no, I feel like I feel like that's the right like like why would you if you have an iconic character, why would you not want to like bring them over into, you know,
• 06:30 - 07:00 it's also cool because it's like you have so much established lore and character that now you get to experience a new world through that character is really not to say that, you know, I don't know. I don't know what your plans are. Maybe you want to make another character for like for me I'm like I definitely want to bring Mickey over at least. Um, and also have like I mean it's also me though, so I make a new character every like two weeks. But um, you know, I'll definitely want to do like something new for it as well. Yeah.
• 07:00 - 07:30 I hope people bring over their like iconic characters. Yeah. It's just for me it's kind of like the way like how to go about it, right? Like what's No pixels ruling going to be moving into that, right? Like you know how like from I think it was I I didn't play 2.0 0. Uh, I started in 3.0. I played probably two weeks of 2.0, like near the end. Uh, but Well, you're the same as me then. We both started 3.0. Okay. Well, there we go. So, like I you probably know more
• 07:30 - 08:00 about it than I do, but apparently, correct me if I'm wrong, when 2.0 ended, going into 3.0, there was a memory wipe. There was no LO like everything was like on a reset. I I I I heard that a couple times from people at TwitchCon. Uh, but like it was like it I feel like it was like half like it was um what I remember was like you could remember or you could not like it was kind of like your choice. I don't I think they actually kind of how would you go about
• 08:00 - 08:30 that? Like if I want to remember something and then there's another role player that doesn't want to remember something like with your relationship or like how you guys role played or if you're enemies like how do you meet that's just awkward. I'm not listen I as you guys know roleplay podcast we try to stay dramaree mostly but I will just say one one thing as a new as a new role player in 3.0 I learned very quickly that the lore of the path of 2.0
• 08:30 - 09:00 very much was important to some people. I was in some groups where I was like oh [ __ ] like there's like and I'm not and that's not that's not even me throwing shade. I actually think that was like a good thing. I like that there was that, you know, tension, you know. Yeah. But let's say let's say Mickey played in 2.0, okay? And Mickey had an enemy, okay? And then you go to 3.0 and you're like, "Okay, I don't want to remember any of this. I don't want this to be, you know,
• 09:00 - 09:30 part of the lore anymore cuz we don't that's your choice." But that other guy that you had bad beef with was like, "Nah, I remember this [ __ ] motherfucker." like and K and K comes at you like isn't that kind of defeat the purpose? Yeah. I mean, okay. I I think it's it's I I think it's tricky because Yeah. I I don't know. How do you feel? I I'm of the opinion that you
• 09:30 - 10:00 shouldn't memory wipe like you you almost kind of want like continue the stories and continue the I think trying to wipe memories is like a it's it's just not unless you want to just create unless you want to literally be like this is an entirely new world but like then it's going to be awkward when the same it's like hey it's a whole new world. Oh my god. It turns out that like, you know, Chatterbox meets up with other clowns who then also become clown. It's like they're obviously going to hang out cuz they're clowns. I mean,
• 10:00 - 10:30 maybe you guys maybe you guys would be, hey, like what if we beefed it with each other and like the clowns all are trying to kill. Maybe you guys you guys might come up like people are going to find each other. We did that from 3 to 4.0. We came back and we're all hating on each other and trying to murder each other cuz we made more in between, right? But I mean, my opinion, that's that's the way you should do it is just kind of like don't put restrictions on what you can remember or anything like that. Just let people do what they want. Move forward with with your lore and stuff like that. Cuz if you're playing the same character, why erase the past,
• 10:30 - 11:00 right? You've already built so much with them, right? You're choosing to continue with that character. There's a reason for that, right? If you don't want to have if you don't want old lore to follow you, make a new character. Yeah. Done. So, new start that actually makes sense. Um, I do think part of it though is because okay that I I don't know if you again we try to stay dramaree here on the roleplay podcast, but I do think there is there is a reality
• 11:00 - 11:30 that a lot and it's just like I'm not even saying this is like this isn't to like throw shade in. It's just the reality of of life which is a lot of like conflicts between people are not always like the characters. It's like it's because OC made the streamers just don't like each other, right? And so it's like it doesn't matter what new character you play, you're probably not going to get along with that person. Um, which I think is okay. I I'm actually I'm on a I'm on a new arc. I'm I'm curious for your thoughts on this, Jbox. My new arc is let let's have Bad Blood. [ __ ] it.
• 11:30 - 12:00 Let's Let's You know, it's not I'm not saying to embrace the drama, but like yo, you don't [ __ ] with this person? Hey, that's great. Let's bring everyone into a server together and let's all not [ __ ] with each other. I think it's good. I Okay. And and here and this is this I I need your reaction to this because people have been talking about this. It's been a recent conversation. I saw it on like some YouTube clips. I saw it on like on Reddit and on Twitter. I saw it in a few places. I miss the days of 3.0 when it
• 12:00 - 12:30 felt like everyone was on one server and people hated each other. I missed that. Okay, I agree with I I miss half of that. I miss everybody being together, but I don't miss everybody [ __ ] hating each other. I was always like, why? It's a video game, dude. Like, why do we got to hate on each? Like, okay, sure, people do some weird [ __ ] sometimes. Okay, whatever. But like, dude, sometimes it's just kind of like [ __ ] just play the game. Like, it's
• 12:30 - 13:00 it's not you you don't got to go to bed thinking about this stuff at night. You know what I mean? Like, it is what it is. Like I mean dude, I'm not going to lie. I didn't follow too much of all the [ __ ] that used to happen. The stuff that I always did see was always like cop versus gang and why cop does not like gang and why gang does not like cop. [ __ ] you cop. [ __ ] you gang. And it was just war from there. And it was like it was like every other week it was like something and I was always like what the hell's going on here?
• 13:00 - 13:30 Dude, I like I I think I genuinely miss it because like and like don't get me wrong, I I'm with you where I'm like, yeah, like sure drama's bad. Yeah, like people being, you know, made full or spikefilled is bad. Chad hopping's bad. But but dude, when it was like Chang Gang versus Penta versus like XQC versus Kyle, like dude, the amount of like just
• 13:30 - 14:00 I don't know, dude. It was spicy. Like it was tea, you know? Well, I that's why I realized it and and maybe it's because I've gotten older and the world has collapsed into the state that it's in now, you know, where where my LA Kings still can't beat the Edmonton Oilers after four play. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I still can't beat the Edmonton Oilers after four consecutive playoffs, right? Like that's how bad the world is right now. I'm like, listen, a little bit of like people hating on each other in GTA,
• 14:00 - 14:30 like it it was at least like it was content. I never followed the drama much. I just whatever popped up on my YouTube and I read the the title and I was like, "Oh boy." But I never I never really followed it. So I think what you're missing, Blau, like to like condense it more too is I feel like back then there was more active story lines ongoing at the same time, right? And like right now it feels like there's like maybe like one or two big story lines, but that's it. Like back then there was like each part of the city had
• 14:30 - 15:00 its own unique big storyline going on because there was like drama and beef between you know these gangs and that would lead to like these bigger arcs and stories but it's just not it's not like that right now. You know what I mean? The city's kind of all in unison for the most part and they're all kind of pushing towards a couple of big goals. Yeah. No, I think that like we we're we're almost missing that like inherent conflict between people and and and another thing that I missed I didn't talk about is like we're also just missing a lot of good role players. Um
• 15:00 - 15:30 so, you know, I'm curious for your thoughts on this trail. I I'm like I'm mixed, right? It's like having now all these different servers, right? Because now we've had what, like we've had Onyx and Prodigy and Purple and um there's been a few more. I might be forgetting. Purple SLscripted. Oh, right. Purple's uh gone now. Um slash unscripted, whatever. But like So we've had a lot more of these. Oh, there
• 15:30 - 16:00 was Ignite for a little bit, too. Oh, yeah. Ignite. So, bro, that band was on there. No. Uh, so that that whole thing when Ignite dropped and everybody was like, "Yeah, [ __ ] no Pixel. I'm going to Ignite. You can watch Windows over there and shit." And then everybody came back. Okay, I I'm so honest when that came out and people were like already starting to be because here here's mine. I'm like, dude, like I don't think
• 16:00 - 16:30 anyone I My take on this. No one needs to be loyal to any specific server. We But we should all But we should all be like respectful of everyone else's communities, dude. Like, like, yeah, Ignite wants to do some cool stuff that, dude, that's dope for them. I've seen Prodigy do some really cool [ __ ] Um, yeah, I play all the time. Have a great time always. Yeah. And when Ignite came out, I was like, "Yeah, like it's 80s RP. Of course, I want to play like roleplay like a ' 80s surfers dude.
• 16:30 - 17:00 That sounds sick, right?" I think it's fine to like enjoy all these. I hate the like server like dick measuring stuff. I I don't like that. Yeah. But the the thing is too is like when people want to join like join join other servers. Then you got that like that big like handful of people that like go on Twitter and start saying [ __ ] like oh like yo this is going to be the end of this server because of this server and then they go right and then you know they want to come back but depending on what they
• 17:00 - 17:30 said may have affected them right and it's just like well you kind of shot yourself in the foot there guy like hi hi blau here unsolicited advice for any role players whether they be new role players ers or very veteran role players, do not talk [ __ ] about servers. Like like don't do it. Like why why would you why would you like [ __ ] talk something where it's like you might play there one day or want to play there one day unless they did some crazy [ __ ] like one server
• 17:30 - 18:00 that we will not talk about but some crazy [ __ ] happened. We all know I think I think everybody knows what I'm referring to. reason why I won't go play in a specific place anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, is there tea? Yeah, there's t. Yeah, there's t. Oh, yeah, there's t. I mean, like, yeah, like obviously if like they do something like just [ __ ] heinous like bad. Yeah, bad. Yeah, but yeah, like
• 18:00 - 18:30 I don't know. There's only two servers I ever really play on anyway right now that like that cuz like obviously no pixel for like you know like it's very story driven right now and like we have a lot of uh like a lot of arcs that have been popping off and stuff like that. So like obviously it's like that is my my main place to be but like when I want to just go and like just do nothing but chaos and uh uh just just mess around I I go to Prodigy and uh because it's it's so much fun. and they're just a just a
• 18:30 - 19:00 just a piss about. So like every server has their own vibe, right? It just depends on what vibe you're more into, right? Which determines where you play in my opinion. So yeah, it's kind of like because you'll have like some servers that are more like, hey, we're trying to do like a long-term story or this server is like kind of more like action chaos oriented. Um, I really want I want to see if there's I would do want to try like to play on like a giga hardcore one, like the ultra [ __ ] hardcore mode. Like
• 19:00 - 19:30 that would be interesting. Um, I don't know though. To me, I'm like, is it weird that I'm like I miss everyone being together even if half the people hated the other? Look, I Yeah, like people hated each other, but I'm the same way, bro, because like I never hated no one, right? So just like it was nice to have them all in one spot because you get to see them all the time and it opens way more doors so with different types of roleplay that everybody was into at the time, right? So it was just it was just like every day when you got on, bro. Like I think 3.0 like the beginning the middle of 3.0
• 19:30 - 20:00 was probably one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Like dead ass serious, dude. I talk I talk about this not even from like a like streaming content perspective, but just playing the video game. I remember like one of the first times I ever shot cops in like in 3.0 early on. I remember my hands shaking and I I felt like I had actually just like killed a [ __ ] cop. Like dude, I was dude I was terrifi and like you know again it's like one of those where I'm like I I know
• 20:00 - 20:30 like yeah I'll even bring up two examples like dude I remember like even the like clean boys versus CG like race to the casino [ __ ] was [ __ ] crazy, right? Okay. And like those guys aren't, you know, aren't around anymore. Or even I'll even say like when when you were when you were a crim early 3.0 and you got pulled over and Wrangler stepped out of the car, you were [ __ ] bricks, dude. Like, oh [ __ ] You're just like,
• 20:30 - 21:00 I'm [ __ ] I'm [ __ ] Yeah, I'm I'm I'm [ __ ] No, I uh Yeah. Okay. Look why there's always you can go on you can go on YouTube or Reddit and you can just punch in uh Randy Wrangler and you'll see a bunch of bad and a bunch of good, right? There's it's it's a very mixed things with things that he's done, right? But like with my experiences, loved it cuz I loved that like this guy is actually going to investigate you and like really uh try to screw you over and I love
• 21:00 - 21:30 stuff like that because like the way he went about and stuff like that was awesome, bro. like it was no like having that fear that this guy like that guy would pull up on a scene was is is a fear you don't get anymore, right? And uh I miss I I miss that a lot. Yeah, it's actually another topic that we we can touch on cuz I'm I this is something I I feel like I never had in 4.0 you know, and and it was to be fair, it wasn't just um Penta on Wrangler that kind of gave this vibe, but it was that
• 21:30 - 22:00 it was like those cops that like and a lot of people are like, "Oh, there's like they would get like criticism for." I I like a mix of cops where like some of them are just really serious and don't like are are you're actually afraid of them because of what they might investigate you. They're not going to take any of your [ __ ] I miss the like and I'm not saying they were good for like it's like you don't want them in like every scene right but you know yeah I mean even to speak of like of Penta and Wrangler like that was my
• 22:00 - 22:30 first court case on Mickey and I had you it was the self-defense meth court case um and it was so good like and and and like it was one of my favorite scene and and by the way that was bec and it was from him pushing charges and investigation in like an area where OC he actually wasn't supposed to. Um it was like a and like kind of like one of those dev events that they used to kind of put on. Yeah. It was like it was up in Grape Seed actually. It's a giant like
• 22:30 - 23:00 shootout in Grape Seed. Um it wasn't supposed to push charges but it's Penta so he doesn't care so he does it anyways. But because he did that like it was some of the best RP I got to have. So I I miss I miss the fear. I used to have more like fear of cops of the law and I don't have that anymore. I mean, I do, but it's a different type of fear. What's Okay, what's your fear now? The the the fear now is just like, you know, like when you're getting
• 23:00 - 23:30 arrested and the process, like, let's say you're down, like the process to go to the hospital, then go to the cells and get arrested. Is that cop going to actually like role play with you or not? Or is this just going to be like quiet? Right. I always get nervous with that because I'm just like I can't I have a hard time with that because I can't just be quiet, right? I like to talk. I like to do the mess around a little bit like whatever. And then you sometimes get those copters like they're just not having it and it's like brother, you know, it's you know it's a
• 23:30 - 24:00 game, right? Like come on, bro. But I don't know like sometimes you get like in 3.0 there was a few cops like that. I was like why are you here if you're not happy? Right? like you know like what what what what's going on in your head if you're on a roleplay server you do not want to role play cuz I had one experience and I'm not saying names on this was a long time ago anyway so no one will ever pin this down but I was getting arrested and uh I was role playing the guy and the guy was just quiet on his MDT doing this right and he
• 24:00 - 24:30 said two things with me two two things to me the entire time one thing he asked me if I was guilty or not and said I'd be happy to go to court that was it the entire arrest test and it was 45 minutes. 45 minutes. Hate it. Yeah. And I think like uh you know as a as a as a difference was like a a hardline cop who was who would
• 24:30 - 25:00 treat you oftentimes really poorly, but who would give you content was Kyle, right? Like Kyle on Kyle Prred. Like, yeah, he'll be he's and I think the thing is like when you played with Kyle, it's like he's an a like also OC, he is an [ __ ] Like like everything about him, he's genuinely that awful person by the way. Don't like him. OC. Um, but the thing about Kyle is like when he was doing it, like you could clearly, it's like the way he was being mean to your
• 25:00 - 25:30 character really felt like he was trying to be that like hard ass cop just being mean to you, right? Yeah. He instigated a lot. Yeah. And and like I think I think the key is it's like people just need to then match that energy where you're like yelling back at the cop and it's your character yelling, not you the streamer yelling. And that's I don't know. I think it's where that breakdown comes in where it's like a little bit of the streamer slips in and then from this person the streamer slips in and then all of a sudden then you
• 25:30 - 26:00 have those like you know famous like OC clips of people just using the voice chat to [ __ ] talk each other basically. And look, man, this is and look, this is obviously just my opinion, okay? But there is a big problem in the not I'm not just saying this is no picture. I'm saying in the entire roleplay space, the entire roleplay space, there is a problem with people not understanding separation between yourself and your character. There is a real big problem
• 26:00 - 26:30 there. Not everybody has it obviously, but there's a lot of people just like, "Dude, this is that's not you. Why are you getting so offended? It's not you. That is a character that does not exist. And my character does not exist. So what he says to you doesn't mean anything cuz it's not unless he's not saying it to you. He's saying it to a character that does not exist. There's a lot of people that don't understand that, right? And they like actually take things to heart and it's like it's not
• 26:30 - 27:00 real. It's fake. It's your character ain't they don't exist. Like [ __ ] somebody logs on one day. Oh, so you're such a you're such an [ __ ] I hate I hate talking to you every day. It's like Yeah. Yeah. My charact because my character is a [ __ ] lunatic. It's not me. Just I think I think you're someone who can speak on this really well, too. And I'm curious for for your thought on this, though. It's like you play a very obviously distinctive character. Your
• 27:00 - 27:30 voice is different. like literally like I I don't it's like really hard to confuse you know you know depressed Winnipeg Jets fan you know father you know father you know jolly Canadian guy with literal psychopathic clown high-pitched voice like you it's like it's just so separate but one thing that I think you do that I I am actually I'm genuinely impressed by and and I there it is a small list of
• 27:30 - 28:00 people who I I really feel do this and it's like it's like you like I'm people will name others I'm sure but like the the two that recently I have come to mind are you and Buddha you guys do a very distinct character but can still play it consistently almost every day. What I learned is I there were times where like I was playing Mickey and it just felt like I was self-inserting and then I had to like I'm serious and then I had to step back and then actually play Mickey as a character. But for me
• 28:00 - 28:30 it's like when I come in to roleplay I either I play different characters or I'm just not roleplaying as much. So my question is how do you like maintain that level of separation while also doing it every day? Because one of my one of my critiques to your point about people not separating their characters, dude, how can you like chatterbox, how can you expect some people to separate their characters if they're spending more of their waking hours in role play than in real
• 28:30 - 29:00 life? Uh, [ __ ] I don't know. Like, dude, like I don't know. To me, it just it just it just dude I I I like in 3.0, for example, I put a lot of hours as chatter box. There were there like especially when I went full-time like it was like when I was on my grind, it was like majority of my day. I don't know what it is, but it's just like I just I just know it's not real. I don't understand. I don't understand how people don't look at like that. Like I
• 29:00 - 29:30 don't care how much you play when you're logging on like you're you're is your real name Mickey? No. Wait, my real name is Nathan. You didn't know this. No, I'm just asking you for like for Oh, was that like hypothetical? No. No, my real name is not Mickey. No. Uh, my real name is not Chatterabox, right? Uh, uh, Kirk Durkhams. That's not his real name. His That's not Theo's name, right? Like, it's just the difference between the difference between Kirk and Theo. When I met Theo,
• 29:30 - 30:00 like in person, I was like, "Oh, like you really [ __ ] play a character." Yeah. And I I hated the character like not like me the show like Mickey hated I had bad Mickey and Kirk had a crazy arc against each other in 3.0 too and and then I met Theo and I was like what the like this is the guy that was like antagonizing Mickey like what the [ __ ] Like well dude my the chat's trying to cook me right now saying cuz chatterbox's legal name is Jagger, right? But like I don't role play like
• 30:00 - 30:30 saying that going around every day referring to myself as Jagger, right? That's just like a different persona that I bring out sometimes to be a complete piece of [ __ ] right? And uh obviously not me, right? Doing it. And I like I have to like I cringe at the things I have to say on there sometimes that are really mean. But like dude, honestly, man, I I I can't answer your question because I don't understand like the other side of it. I I just don't like I don't understand how people can just
• 30:30 - 31:00 not like like I I don't understand how people can lose like the reality that it's just not real. It to me it doesn't make sense cuz like Okay, I I I have a follow-up question that will maybe help you answer it. What about people where and I I'll even I'll call one of them out by name who is lit who is a self-insert, but I actually kind of like his self-insertingness. He's one of the co-owners of No Pixel. XQC is John
• 31:00 - 31:30 Paul because So my my brief my brief take on this is I think XQC himself the guy is a living character, bro. Is yes is a living character. And I actually now and and I'll even say this though. I I have seen it like you can literally look at him in like the early days of 3.0 0 and be like, "Oh, that was rough." Versus some of the stuff he was doing in 4.0 or end of 3.0 and then 4.0. Like he was role
• 31:30 - 32:00 playing really well. Even if it even if again his character is more sort of self-inserty, he was doing a good job of still like keeping it in character in the world. Um, so I'm curious if like c can you still find a balance even because like let's let's be honest, it's not that you're a character or you're a self-insert. you're like a range of those things, right? Like anyone plays a character that is is in a range and at any given time they might have their own kind of like small little window within
• 32:00 - 32:30 there about how charactery or self-inserty they are. So do you think that still you're still able to play a self-insert kind of like that and add to the world? I mean, yeah. I mean, yeah. It just you just got to realize that what's happening in that world is not real, right? And it's not anything to do with you specifically as a person. It's just you you choose who you want to play, right? But like
• 32:30 - 33:00 you have to you have there has to be separation. If you can't separate, you shouldn't be role playing that like honestly like you just shouldn't be cuz that's where drama starts, bro. That's where drama always starts is when people like are like, "Why are they saying that to me or doing this to me?" Right? But it's just like, why are you saying you're doing it to me? It's you're doing it to your character, right? That's like I see a lot of people do that and it's like, dude, that's that's where the that's where things are already starting to [ __ ] come loose because uh it ain't you, right? Yeah. I mean it's also why like I
• 33:00 - 33:30 typically encourage people to like and I there's so many people where this is not who by the way they're great role player many people great role players or or have great characters that don't follow this I'm with you just just name your character something different please for the love of god you should you should yeah I mean I technically didn't right but no yours no I I count yours yours is fine oh oh as in like oh like your
• 33:30 - 34:00 character name is Chatterbox and you the streamer Chatterbox. Oh, I I think yours is No, not that. My character's actual name is Jagger, right? But even if I did roleplay as that persona more, it's it would never affect me because like I just there there's a clear difference, right? Like I I don't think anyone has ever looked at your roleplay and thought that there wasn't like that clear distinction. I'm actually more like for me I'm more impressed that you have that clear distinction, right? I I there's almost like there's obviously many different like classes of good role
• 34:00 - 34:30 players, but there's there's like the burn class where it's like burn comes in, creates some new character, incredible voice, like makes you giga immersed for like two weeks, [ __ ] off, comes back two months later with something new cooked up. There's that kind of, you know, giga talented role player. And then there is like, you know, I I again, it's a short list. I actually think it's I honestly think it's the harder thing to do is kind of like what you and Buddha do, which is consistently play a character and
• 34:30 - 35:00 long-term create stories out of them. And and I know this because I have I have done both poorly, like dollar store version of Burn creating different characters and dollar store version of Buddha trying to do a long-term arc. The latter is harder, I think. Um it depends who you have around you in my opinion, right? Like you can't role play alone like half the time, right? Like if you want to do long-term stuff, you need people you need you need people around you to do stuff with you to make it what it is, right? And I'm just fortunate
• 35:00 - 35:30 because I have like a lot of uh really really good talented people around me that uh really add to stuff uh and help a lot. Uh oh my god, he's humble too. Sorry. Sorry. I'm serious though. I'm I'm dead ass serious though. Like it's just like uh I got a good group around me, right? And uh you know there's obviously hiccups along the way, right? And people like doing [ __ ] that's like sometimes you got to be like, "Hey, uh is that a pun or
• 35:30 - 36:00 like No, it was not a pun. It was not a pun. [ __ ] Oh god, that was great. It was not a pun. It was not a pun. It was not referring to Hiccups the character. Okay, leave me alone. I um No, I think that's Yeah, I mean like a lot of it is like not doing it alone, right? Um it's why it's really I I what I try
• 36:00 - 36:30 to do is I try to find what I call pocket role players who I I basically like um they're kind of like it's like it's like free labor for me. I like manipulate them and use them for cheap cheap labor. So a so a pocket role player is like a really talented role player, but like they don't really have like aspirations for streaming or for a career. So you can kind of just use them for [ __ ] Uh and so you keep them kind of like tied to you at the at the at the hip and and they help you create really good scenes and make your role play a
• 36:30 - 37:00 lot better. Um yeah, it's like cheap labor. Yeah, you all right, man? Yes. Ah, yeah. Yeah. No, just thinking about them actually just hear your thoughts about that. Look. Yeah. What are your thoughts about pocket role players? Interesting topic. Look, I will say that like I feel I feel as though there is Okay, I don't want to I think Okay, blown below. I think you're I think you're a very talented
• 37:00 - 37:30 role player. I think you are much better when you have other people who role play with you. You know what I mean? When you have people who buy into your ideas, I think it makes you like the best role player. You know what I mean? But like if it's just like Mickey like solo, I feel like it's like not the same as like Mickey with others. Like you're really good duo role player if that makes sense. Like you find somebody and you can like create a lot of good content. So I think that like the pocket role player thing makes sense, but I also feel like that's just a roleplay style,
• 37:30 - 38:00 right? Is like kind of this buddy dynamic, right? And I think that works really well for people. Like I like it's hard for me to play Breers now without like having like Mickey or somebody there because it's like so much of his story is tied to that and so much of his like roleplay kind of plays off that now. You know what I mean? It's harder to play him solo now than it was before. And I think that's fine. I just think that's a style of of roleplay, right? Yeah. No, I I think I think in 4.0 I I
• 38:00 - 38:30 mean I'm joking. I think in 4.0 know Mickey was carried by by Breckers 100%. Like as far as like allowing him to like do the kind of content I wanted to do. I think it was like others too like I feel like it was like Breers but I also feel like you know you know thinking about like the company and stuff like I feel like like when Mickey and Benji would be together too was like a whole different fun dynamic. You know what I mean? Like it was like very different than like Mickey Breers but there was so much of those like little teamups that were really interesting. You're just a really
• 38:30 - 39:00 like people person, right? And like no matter like who you're around, you make you make things really interesting, right? Like for you, dude, the skill that you have that I wish I had is just like you can put anybody in front of you, in front of Mickey, right? And Mickey will like you always have something to say and you always know what to do and like you always have something, right? As to me, like I can't stand in a conversation with just anybody and uh kind of make it work, you know? Sometimes I'm like, "Bye." And I just take off,
• 39:00 - 39:30 right? Cuz I'm not as big of a people person like like you are, right? Like it's I don't know. The way you play Mickey is very unique, too. So like I don't know, man. Like I I think uh Mickey's a very important part of the server right now. Uh especially with uh the heist and all that stuff. I think your character is perfect for that with the vibe and and how dramatic he is and [ __ ] It's just it's the creme of the creme, bro. Yeah, that actually brings up another
• 39:30 - 40:00 one of the other topics I want to to touch on today because it we're in an interesting spot in the state of roleplay. You know, you mentioned you have all these talented people around you, Chatterbox, to help you kind of do stuff more. I have something very important around me that lets me do what I do, and that is a dev panel. That's right. Um, being able to just cheat code [ __ ] into the game and doing stuff like that is awesome. And I want to say I'm I'm not going to pull punches with this take. I want to say that to everyone who was upset with my take a while ago about
• 40:00 - 40:30 whitelists, you all [ __ ] suck. You were wrong. I was right. Um, thank you so much. The key is what I learned is you can't call them white. People People didn't like this take a while back. I gave this take like almost like a year ago. People didn't learn the take. What was the take? I forgot. Um, it was something about like why white It was something about why white lists were good. And then what I realized is that are you are you saying though whitelist as in like you know like like the dead panel being whitelisted to you in like certain jobs?
• 40:30 - 41:00 Are you just saying in role play like white list and role play? So here and to be fair I I mean I'm being I'm being confrontational on purpose. But to be fair what I meant by the take and and and what I sort of stand by now is this. I think whitelist has a bad connotation to it because of some things in 3.0. I really like having a few select people be given whether it's dev panels be given some access to something to
• 41:00 - 41:30 uh promote roleplay almost more selflessly as like a way of like it basically and and the way we now call them is quest givers or dungeon masters people say questgivers is like what people really love what people I don't think liked were the whitelists given to people that were more about like they were almost like MMO whitelists and not role-play whitelists. They were like I
• 41:30 - 42:00 have the ability to create thermite which is the gate I can gatekeep who gets to go to the next bank and you have to and like my character now gets to just make extra money because I'm the one who can make this specific thing. Um that is the kind of whitelist I don't or or when people like hey my gang happens to own this restaurant and print money from it. That kind of whitelist I don't think people like. Yeah and I agree with that. I do as well. I do as well. Um uh look this is just my obviously my
• 42:00 - 42:30 opinion chat. So everything I'm saying just take with a grain of salt here. All right. Like I don't know the I don't know the answers to everything here or this is just my opinion how I feel. But like I believe in the you use it or lose it mentality. And uh if you're like let's say for example, okay, 3.0 Burger Shot, okay, you you you if you don't want to use it, you lose it. And if you're not using it properly, like if you're not doing everything in your power to make sure that it stays like
• 42:30 - 43:00 busy and things are happening there and stuff like that, it should be taken away from you and just given to somebody else that's going to do it, right? Like you shouldn't if you're given the burger shot or given a restaurant, you're not entitled to keep that no matter what. Yes. It should it should be removed from you at any time if you are not meeting expectations with it through roleplay. Like Yeah. And and and and both these things can be true. That soda popping on Kevin Whippaloo, giving him Burger Shot was one of the best ideas. [ __ ]
• 43:00 - 43:30 amazing idea. That was awesome. Also, take it away from him when he's bored of roleplay. Like, that's fine. Like, I think we should be okay being like I This is the This is the idea I always pitch because I just think it'd be hilarious. I've always wanted like Will Nef to come into the server on his uh movie uh director character James Marco St. Marco and I and and I by the way if he ever wants to do this before GTA 6 launches whether it's
• 43:30 - 44:00 in 4.0 or in the next version of No Pixel I will literally be I will be the dev that I will spawn in $5 million. I will five million. I'll put it right into his character's bank account and I'll give him $5 million and let him just make a movie. I think that's [ __ ] sick. I think the amount of I I'm just imagine the amount of role and like why does he get 5 million? Yeah, cuz it's Will Nef, dude. And you know he's going to do the most he's going to create so much roleplay, hiring a casting director, hiring lighting, like
• 44:00 - 44:30 it's going to be the best content ever. And it's not gonna go towards, you know, just being the almighty powerful like uh gang or something in the city, right? Like I give I give Will $5 million comes in. How many class twos can I buy with this? Right? Like that'd be great. That'd be insane, right? Like I wonder how many AKs I can purchase? How many full kits? Huh? Let's go to war. Like that'd be insane, right? Dude, you know how like in 3.0 there was an issue with
• 44:30 - 45:00 the economy? like everybody was too rich and getting bored and you know like it was just everybody had too much right and everybody's like ah we need a we need an update every like six months like people are like starting to say things like that because whatever I always had an idea that was just kind of like look if you're getting bored and it's you're just you're making people have too much here's a good example you know that zombie event they did yeah you do that you throw one of those
• 45:00 - 45:30 and you basically just do an economy reset because infection has spread, people are sick, everything collapsed and everybody's starting from square one again. You don't even have to do a massive update. You could just, you know, kind of do soft resets like that. everybody's banks got drained, you know, like it's just I I'm super down for more like things like that where it's like events that cause an economic reset or even just like some of the stuff like now granted I do think me and Cap need to like sync
• 45:30 - 46:00 up like our our mission days so that we don't have them overlap. That was hilarious. But even the fact of like instead of like having dev resources going towards giant updates, right, you can just have events that occur in the city to spice things up and some of them could cause a collapse. Yeah. It would change everything like if if they like like it's it's really smart what they did with you guys like like you and um Cap both have access to do this kind of stuff, right? And it's been really really nice. Like there's a lot looks
• 46:00 - 46:30 like there's a lot more happening, right? And then uh there's that pestilence, the guy that's doing the um uh the plague and stuff like that, right? It's just there's so much other things going around that's cool, right? And and and entertaining. If we didn't have that stuff, uh server would not be as interesting as it is right now, right? And it's like what's cool is it's like the no pixel devs are are probably cooking on whatever the next server is or on some big update. So the devs are cooking on that stuff. Yep. And then you
• 46:30 - 47:00 just get some people who are just making some some [ __ ] happen, you know? And I the other thing is like I don't think it's like I think the downside of it is like okay if you give everyone and their mother like a dev panel or if like people like overdo it, [ __ ] will go crazy. But I I think that's why it's like you kind of like it it's a few people and like and and the other thing is like look at how different it Like I I feel like you know uh Pestilence and then like the Faceless Arc like those are like much more kind
• 47:00 - 47:30 of like longer slowb burn like bigger things. Yeah. I I use my panel much more for like either like oneoff kind of like week long story arcs of like it's just a heist being like a big job being set up more of like a short action movie as opposed to a long TV. I I think it's I think as long as you don't like overload it where it's like happening every day and there's like a good break between stuff, I think it's just a really good way to spice up the servers. Yeah, absolutely. It gives people things to look forward to. It's really refreshing. Like, dude, like uh
• 47:30 - 48:00 like you just like you you hooked like Mickey set up chat box with those six extra AKs changed everything, dude. It actually saved the entire day because like we just didn't have enough and like some clowns were grinding stuff like it was hard and it made the day what it was, bro. Like it was like it it changed everything for that whole mime war whatever on that day and with the cops attacking which was like really crazy. It was it was insane. Uh I think Yeah.
• 48:00 - 48:30 And I think as long as as long as people whether it be viewers or the role players themselves, as long as people are okay with like like we just have to like kind of like all check our egos and just be okay with like hey like for some events or for some things some people are going to get some special treatment and that's okay. Um I will I will also die on the hill that if if I if I still had this admin menu and you could send me back in time to the start of 4.0, I would have dropped a couple
• 48:30 - 49:00 million dollars into Beck Ramaswami's bank account as a donate as a donation from a Republican super PAC and and and like you're telling me Squeaks wouldn't have just done some of the funniest [ __ ] RP with that. The fact that Squeaks at some point and I forgot who the girl was who was help she was helping him so much with this. That was Law Dog. Uh she was playing um Lilith. Oh my god. Lilith. Yes, dude. so phenomenal. The fact that they I'm
• 49:00 - 49:30 pretty sure I know she had to and I think even Squeaks helped her. She was offream grinding just so that they could afford money to rent a car to be able to just go around and do their like I'm like dude I would have just given I would have given them the [ __ ] money and just because again it's like they're using it for some great RP, right? Like it's just Yeah. Yeah. And it's like and then and then what's what's interesting is then everyone else who is grinding G6, maybe some of those people wouldn't have been grinding G6 would have been
• 49:30 - 50:00 employed by the Ramaswami campaign and would have been making their money that way and it would have just added to the RP, right? And I think it's great to have the underlying systems like G6, like all the gang stuff, but like I think it's also good to just what I'm trying to say here is I'm going to find someone to just put a a couple million dollars in their account today um after this uh podcast and just go find someone. Just go give them a couple millions. No, that's all right. I got you. State ID 91148. I'm not I'm not
• 50:00 - 50:30 g you. I'm not giving after you. Come on, man. Pocket role player, remember? Come on. Yeah. No, it's uh I don't know. Like it's the grind the grinding is what kills role play. Uh and look, I saw like I I kind of understand the vision of 4.0. Like I understand what they were trying to do and I and I respect the the efforts and things they put the work they put in, believe me. Uh but it just
• 50:30 - 51:00 in my opinion was not the right vision. Like it just it wasn't it like it was it was too much. It was too much and it was very hard for characters. It was good for the grinders. It was good for people that like to make money and do mechanics, but it was terrible for the role player. Uh because it made things awful to do stuff just to survive on the day-to-day. Like it was it was the first five months were really hard. Like uh it was really really hard. Yeah. Now, what's funny
• 51:00 - 51:30 though is on on the flip side, I feel like now to say the server is like like I if I was to play devil's advocate, right, I think someone could actually look at the server and be like, "Well, yeah, the server is really good. The role play is good. Now, if you're involved in any of these arcs or if you know, one of the scarce people with the dev panels are, you know, creating some cool roleplay for then it's really good, right?" Which is why though that I think having the base underlying systems and the base things for people to do in
• 51:30 - 52:00 absence of some bigger arc is still important, right? Cuz you know a lot of people do like to do the grind and stuff. It's just the way it is. Do you think a lot of people I'm curious your thoughts on this. What about like um how do you genuinely feel cuz I feel like a lot of like not all but like a decent amount of like kind of gang RP is kind of like okay it's lowkey like if I it's like it's like if I was to put myself
• 52:00 - 52:30 Nathan Blau like in the world of GTA and be like a a criminal gangster but now I'm like really cool and I have abs and a class two gun on my back and I'm shirtless. this type [ __ ] and I I talk like I'm 10 years younger than I actually am. I feel like a lot of people kind of use GTA roleplay as a way to live out that fantasy thoughts. I don't want to talk about
• 52:30 - 53:00 that. I'm not going to say anything. I'm going to skip that one, brother. We're going to skip that one. I have to skip. I'm gonna look I gotta keep I gotta not talk about that. Hey, to to be fair to be fair, I I I I get it. Like it's it's kind of cool to like listen, as an example, as an example, when I played Mass Effect, you know, I you know, tried to create my shepherd to look like me and like and it was like I liked the idea of me in the
• 53:00 - 53:30 fantasy world of Mass Effect saving the universe from the Reapers. Like that was kind of cool. Yeah. But that you're you're but you're following a storyline there, right? You're not creating your own, right? Very dangerous place to do that in a place that you can direct yourself in any way you want when you're trying to live out that kind of uh that's when uh you get Oh my god, I don't want to Well, I'll say I'll say to like further
• 53:30 - 54:00 further blast point, I think to like kind of explain it, it's like I do think like in any version of roleplay, right, if you even look at like tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons or whatever, there's always going to be a little bit of empowerment fantasy in there, right? Because why would you want to role play as something that like you know that isn't I mean there's multiple ways to look at it but you know some people will be like I want to role play as something that's like a cooler version of me or like the version of me I want to be or like maybe if what if I was like this. I think that's how some players view it and I think that's true with GTA roleplay as well. I definitely think
• 54:00 - 54:30 some people create characters because they're like this is who like ideally who I'd want to be in like you know this setting or this environment or like perfectly. Not saying everyone does it, but there's people who do it out there. And that's where you get the problem as to where it's just like you become attached to that character and everything that happens to that character matters way too much because now you're attached and you forget that there's separation there. Hence, we get problems to the self-insert problems and people taking things personally and we get those weird relationship RP stuff that ruin relationship RP for people
• 54:30 - 55:00 that just want to do it as stories and actual good content, stuff like that. So you get all that [ __ ] and it th those people doing that ruin [ __ ] for everybody else and it pisses me off. My opinion. Sorry. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. No, I agree. I think um honestly and I think uh just to further that I think like one of my big things is that I wish there was I wish there was more awareness
• 55:00 - 55:30 around the idea that that role play is role play. And I also wish that more people would as well um you know keep that in mind whenever they are in character. But also like I I do feel like more OC talk should happen especially when roleplay happens that makes you uncomfortable or like is just weird [ __ ] Like I feel like we should honestly be talking like calling that out more as role players to each other. You know not necessarily publicly but like I feel like it's something that we
• 55:30 - 56:00 should feel more comfortable to like go to another role player and be like yo that shit's not okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't like that's Yeah. Like I look if if let's say for the clown group for example, if they do something shitty or something that's like that I notice is bad, I DM them right away and be like it it's you stop now or you're like we're we're not role playing together ever again. Like it's everybody understands that in like our group and it's like every group should do that, right? Because here's another problem. If if you have a group like and
• 56:00 - 56:30 this happens these gangs especially, right? You always have that one person that's like the top of the gang that everybody looks at, right? Your Mr. K's, your your Langs, your your uh Raymond Romanovs, right? Like those people, right? If somebody in your gang does something Well, first of all, first of all, in in the Clean Boys, Mickey was actually the leader. Okay. Okay. Well, and your Mickey's. Okay. No, we made m We made Mickey the leader just to piss off Ray. Everyone knows this. That was the lore. It was to piss off Ray Romangh. Everyone knows that. Let's continue.
• 56:30 - 57:00 So, if something happens, people are not going to look at just that person, right? They're going to look at it's going to go up the ladder and look at, well, why didn't why is Chatabox letting this happen? And it's just like I learned that very quickly in 4.0 here. And uh I was like, yeah, I ain't doing this [ __ ] anymore. So, I just kind of became kind of a I wouldn't say like a a dick, but yeah, I was kind of a dick, right? like you know like now we have a discord with all the clowns in it and if something bad happens it's like it goes there right away and everybody sees it and
• 57:00 - 57:30 it's like you can't do this don't [ __ ] do that right and everybody's like okay and it's normally nothing ever happens like it again right uh instead of protecting your group right which a lot of people do is they got to protect our our group right it's just like no dude like it's it's just like if you can't go out of your way to protect your group if they're not being right they're not respecting you either Right. That's kind of a like there's kind of because you're you're getting looked at in a bad light, too. So, it's just like everybody needs to respect each other and just do
• 57:30 - 58:00 the right [ __ ] right? Uh yeah. I don't know. I could go on for hours about this [ __ ] cuz like No, I I I I actually like I really like that take that like if you are espe like because again it's like it's like the privilege both of whether it's like whether it's in character or even like the OC influence of of having like the bigger community or more viewers, right? If you are the leader, whether it be sort of in character or even OC sort of in spirit, taking responsibility for that group as
• 58:00 - 58:30 opposed to just, you know, it's like obviously, yeah, defend them when you need to defend them from whatever things, but it's like, no, also, but like, you know, cleaning house and making sure that like you're holding them to that higher standard. I mean, uh, actually, I I love that you said that you did that. I did. We've never really talked about I I don't think I've ever really talked about this publicly, but Demo can actually kind of vouch for this. When the company started, I was really strict and I would put this in the Discord. I was like, do
• 58:30 - 59:00 not I was like, I will we will I'll just come I'll literally just fire you in character and then just kick you out of this OC if we find you doing anything weird. Like, we were very strict. Yeah, we were very strict about that. Yeah. which is again and obviously like you know and then I and I had some problematic role players right crystal demo gave me a lot of you know they were you know tough to work with them but I think that's all role play too I feel like role play is like a medium where we're
• 59:00 - 59:30 always collabor like creating new stuff and things can quickly get into a point where it gets uncomfortable or weird I mean it's true for like tabletop games too right and in the leadership position there it's like the dungeon master the game master right is the one who's like controlling it and making sure that If something makes somebody uncomfortable, they shut it down, you know, they talk about it, whatever. So, it's like that can be applied to no pix was like the leaders, right? They're like the ones who kind of navigating the role play. They're the ones who should also be held, you know, hold the group accountable for things that are said and whatnot. Yeah. So, absolutely. And I
• 59:30 - 60:00 also think in it's funny because in in role play I am I am strongly of the belief that like a lot like I'm not gonna say everything is okay in roleplay but a most things are actually okay in role play depending on the context of who's involved in your and your relationship with them and your comfort with them. Right? Like the way I'd say is like, dude, like you wouldn't go to an improv comedy night where you're meeting people for the first time and doing improv comedy and say some unhinged [ __ ] if you don't know those people, right?
• 60:00 - 60:30 Meanwhile, as a counterpoint though, if anyone's ever watched like, you know, it's not GTA roleplay, but like we were doing like uh we did schedule one role play with me, Kyle, and Jenny. You know, we say like there are things that me and Kyle say, you know, especially with Jenny, you know, being a woman. What is this because I'm a woman? Like we'll say some [ __ ] with Jenny that is that I would not say with other like
• 60:30 - 61:00 women role players, right? We say some [ __ ] up [ __ ] all three of us, right? But it's because it's like that's because we've built up that relationship, that comfort, and that trust. And we know that if we ever cross a line, we're we're comfortable enough to like DM each other. It's like you definitely don't want to go pushing those boundaries with people that you don't know. Yeah. Yeah. You gota Yeah. It's kind of like going back to like reading the room kind of things too, right? With who you're role playinging with. Yeah. Uh
• 61:00 - 61:30 and it kind of kind of backing up a little bit back to like the whole uh if you like people being uncomfortable and being able to reach out to them and stuff like that. Like Yeah. Like cuz sometimes how are you going to know if somebody like like let's say you're role playing on no pixel. How you going to how you going to know if somebody's like like for me example let's say you and me are role playing together. Uh I'm not comfortable with stuff you're doing. If I don't reach out to you how are you going to know if I'm not giving you any signs that I'm not comfortable with it. You know what I mean? Uh that that that
• 61:30 - 62:00 is also a thing too, right? cuz like there's been like two or three times with my since I saw role playing on GTA in 2019. Uh and I've only twice ever had to like DM somebody being like, "Uh, yo, what's going on with this?" Cuz I like was like kind of weirded out by a couple things, right? Cuz I didn't understand, especially at the time, I didn't understand like if it how serious it was or not. And made things way better because it was just like, "Oh, no, no, no." And it was explained about
• 62:00 - 62:30 like, "Oh, I get it." at the time that I was learning, right? But if I never would have did that, I would have just been like put off the entire time and would have been weirded out by that [ __ ] You know what I mean? Mhm. Yeah. And and I mean, and Cre you're also like there's like a little bit of hesitant like you're like a little bit of like, oh, I don't even know if this is going to work out or like I think a lot of people are just a little hesitant to do it. It's like it's kind of an uncomfortable thing. Once you've done it, you realize that it's just it's not that deep. Yeah.
• 62:30 - 63:00 Yeah. Um, I literally, bro, me and me and Kevin, we we I think we both you said this before. Me and Kevin had to like hash some [ __ ] out from [ __ ] that happened between like Mickey and CG and me and Kevin like chatted it out in the DMs and it was like and it was like after doing that I was like, "Oh, wait. This this isn't that deep." Like whatever. And like and moved on there and and then since made great roleplay, right? So I think a lot of times just
• 63:00 - 63:30 you just have to be okay like even doesn't matter if it's some smaller streamer doesn't matter if it's like a a Buddha or a Kevin like you just chat it out and then now counter take to play devil's advocate what if we just what if I just instead like go like the [ __ ] really and then and then hold up that the whatever the U key is to pull up the numbers and I pull up the numbers for like 20 seconds and and take a screenshot
• 63:30 - 64:00 audibly so that my chat hears it and then just be like whatever chat and then move on with my day and then don't actually report them but just kind of do it for like performative reasons. How do you feel about that? Oh my god. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We don't do that. Kidding. I'm kidding. That's cra wild. Um that is [ __ ] That's crazy. They don't like you guys don't like that. Is that all? No, that's you. You You forgot the part where they take the screenshot and go, "That's kind of
• 64:00 - 64:30 weird, chat." Right. Kind of weird. Is a I have never once ever reported somebody or even held you to report somebody like I've never once done that. Not once. Um also like Yeah. I mean like and I can't speak I can't speak to like all of the admins on on every every single server. Um I will say at least at least from the one that I have the most
• 64:30 - 65:00 uh I'm going to help myself. Nikita knows this is I'll say okay I know how no pixels admin system works. I actually think they do a really good I actually really like no pixels admins. I think they do a phenomenal job and I know this because I was a part of them and did nothing. Absolutely not. What was the point? Blow. What was the point? What was What was the point of being an admin then?
• 65:00 - 65:30 Okay. And Okay. Power trip. The power trip. That's You know what's funny? I didn't even This is the worst part. I didn't even power trip with it. I I am so I was so useless that I didn't even abuse the power. And Nikita maybe can I Nikita if you ever want to like give your perspective on my brief stint as an admin. My my understanding was this right like I think like I think that what had happened was like I had maybe said I I had said some things about like
• 65:30 - 66:00 I don't know I I guess I had given some good takes about how I wanted people to roll but whatever. Honor Coyle saw and they're like you know what hey this blow guy he seems like he'd actually make for like a good admin as like a newer person. They reached out to me with it and I was like I was like yeah sure like I'll do that. In my defense in my defense this they made me admin right before the clean boys versus CG like casino heist arc. So not only was I like I was I was grinding at Oo Cafe to just
• 66:00 - 66:30 pay to be able to [ __ ] do the I was grind I was playing the most GTA I had ever had. I think I was streaming like 200 hours a month. So it was the most busy I've been streaming. And then and and and by the way and this is not to like leak how like the admin system works but like and they were really fair about like they'd be like hey like hey there and people know people know about this team now but like they hey like ports there's like you know hey there's like there's meta there's some metagaming going on CG versus CB like admins we need you guys to weigh in and
• 66:30 - 67:00 I'd come in like hey guys I can't weigh in on this like I mean there were like I remember there were like important admin decisions that needed me. There was like maybe like five or six in a row where I just had to be like, I can't weigh in. Or or when I or when I did weigh in, I don't know, Nikita, if you remember this, I would weigh in and I'd be that guy that was like, no comments to add on my end. Like I would I would like you just you just noped out of
• 67:00 - 67:30 everything. Yeah. Wow. I I was really I was in my defense I was really and then they were like they were and and and and by the way they like I was admin for a few months and then they were like hey like we're gonna they were really chill they were chill about too I think Han literally messaged me like hey like you're clearly very busy like we're going to have you like step down as admin. I was like, "Yeah, man. I I just haven't been able to." Bro, Coyle roasted it me for a layer. Coyle was literally on stream was
• 67:30 - 68:00 like, "Yeah, Blow did nothing." It's true. I'll never I will never defend that I did anything as an admin. But but that's how I know that the admins on No Pixel genuinely do a lot of work and like I could never do it. I could never do it. I I just There's no chance, bro. Me, too. I tried. Could never do it. Yeah. Yeah. No, that was I mean even even now it's it's like I I'm like the the the responsibilities given to me with a you
• 68:00 - 68:30 know admin panel or dev my responsibilities are to go and create cool bank heists which is like what I do on my character anyways but it's like now I have I can like zoom out go into ghost mode like you know design show like I I can do that having me like balance the like playerto-player interactions on the server. I can't do it. Honestly, that is hard. One day, one day I hope that
• 68:30 - 69:00 management just going to be like, "All right, all right, we're going to give a new kind of rank to a couple of really like trusted long-term people that have been here, no problem." Nothing like that. that can help and not just be an admin thing that can help gauge who who can get prior or not that actively play and interact with people. That would be such a good thing to have for somebody in the server that plays
• 69:00 - 69:30 consistently that will not abuse it obviously. And that finding somebody like that is obviously the the tough part, right? But like people joining the server, especially new people, it's hard to get recognized for the good that you do, right? for the effort that you you put in. A lot of people only get recognized if you're hanging out with certain people because a lot of the people that can give out priority are kind of I don't know what I've always found to be clicked up in some sort of way, right?
• 69:30 - 70:00 Or you're a cop or it's it's it's not easy for everybody to get recognized, right? So giving it out to a couple more people that you obviously need to know that are not going to be I'm just going to give this to my friends kind of kind of thing, right? uh would be a really good good way for uh a lot of role players to like actually be rewarded for putting in good effort cuz we have lost shitloads of really talented good role players because of the priority
• 70:00 - 70:30 issue when the queue was bad because they didn't want to join Q anymore because it was just too it was too hard to get into the server, right? So, they went out they probably just went other places, right? A lot of really great people that I never saw again. only seeing them one or two times because I knew that they had issues with the queue. Look, people like that would make a huge difference in my opinion because you would you'd you'd see more really good role players more often than not. Yeah. So, it's like you don't it's basically like they wouldn't
• 70:30 - 71:00 be admins. They would basically just be like it's just like a special like privilege. Maybe it's like they have like a channel in like one of the discords where it's like a small handful of like consistent role players. who can basically just ping and be like, "Yo, ran into this person. Phenomenal. Give him a little bump in pry. Like they were great." Yeah. And they don't have to be like, "Oh, I'm going to give this guy like I don't know how the levels work, but like high level." You you start them off slow like you give them chances, right? You just you keep they they go around, they always check people. If
• 71:00 - 71:30 they if people are doing it, you check their prime, see how they're doing, and then you could gradually keep putting it up, right? You don't just throw a number five or six, whatever it is at them to get them up in that line, right? You build you build people up and if and you need more obviously I think you need more people like looking at the people that do not put effort and are shitty and to Yeah. put people down if they need it, right? Wake people up a little bit. Yeah. The the the other thing is that um I
• 71:30 - 72:00 think you'd want to do it like you'd also just keep whoever does that like completely secret. like no one knows, right? Cuz like, you know, obviously there's like there's obvious people who could grant you pryo, right, that you could go to and try to like put on your like best behavior for, but I like the idea that it's like you might not know who it is who's like able to give you that p like that that could be really it's completely sort of anonymous, right, of like who it does it. Yeah. I mean, unless they stream because that
• 72:00 - 72:30 would make things tough, right? Because then you can't do anything on the spot. I mean, they note it down for later. They could note it down it down. Yeah. Yeah. They could pull they could press down the U button, see the numbers pop up, Nick, screenshot, and screenshot it, and then say, "Oh my god, I was right. You're right this whole time." You could you could you could totally change the vibe between, "Is this guy getting banned or is this guy getting cry?" Cry out. Wait, that's such a good idea.
• 72:30 - 73:00 Oh my god, I actually cooked with that. Holy [ __ ] So, I don't know. Yeah, like that that that's one thing that I was I'm always going to be like very like please one day happen because what a difference I think it make. They should at least try it. You know what I mean? At least try. Like I mean they've tried all these different things like you know the plus one the plus one people like to that doesn't work. I don't think that works at all. I'm going to be real cuz
• 73:00 - 73:30 people got to go through that, right? And like look at that, you know, like you have to plus one this person, you have to write out like, oh, this person is like so good, whatever. Like there's that. I really don't think that I like in my opinion, I don't know if it makes much of a difference or not. I don't even know if it's actively used as well. It's it's also just like it's also I think just kind of like scaling things a little bit more where it's like I I feel like No Pixel and probably some of the other servers are also in a place now where they could look at a few people
• 73:30 - 74:00 and be like, "Hey, we can trust these people to like help curate good vibes for us, right?" Yeah. And they should be fine doing that, right? Um you you'd hope one day. I hope they I hope they do it one day. I've always I've always like had this opinion for a long time. And uh maybe 5.0 Devs, right? 5.0 new things, you know. Um, that that does come up to my to my next con uh topic. I feel like I'm hearing updates
• 74:00 - 74:30 from different servers. What's No pixel cooking? Like what what what are we wait what's going on? What are we waiting on here? What do you want to see happen? Because they're obviously cooking something with the update. Like with the 5.0 update. Is that what you're either f Yeah, I I'm I'm hoping that when when is when are they going to Yo, we got we got a GTA 6 locked in date before we got know when 5.0 is, right? Like Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. What the [ __ ]
• 74:30 - 75:00 Look, I I have to I have to assume that Yeah. 5.0 comes in for cuz here's the other thing that people don't realize about GTA 6, right? GTA 6 is going to come out, but that's not GTA 6 RP, right? Like we're going to wait. We're going to have to wait for that. Yeah. I mean, like cuz like 5M won't be like they have to make like another I don't know. Isn't I I I think Rockstar mentioned there were I don't know. I guys, I I I'll I'll leak it right now,
• 75:00 - 75:30 guys. Secretly, I secretly work for Rockstar. Uh, that's why I launched the roleplay podcast on the same Is it not a coincidence that we do the roleplay podcast on the same day that they tweet out the GTA 6 date? Clearly, I secretly work for Rockstar, so I can tell you guys that exactly one year and 3 months after GTA 6 launches is when we'll get GTA 6 roleplay.

Okay. Hello. Hi. I cut out there. He's back. You said something

I I have never I I I don't I barely even know what League is. is like I don't even know. Like I just saw like I I've seen people play like it's like people running around like the bird's eye view thing. League of Legends podcast things at people. That's all I know. Oh sh main right here actually. Yeah, there's a there's a clown you could play. But um Oh, so we're playing League. No, no, no, no, no. We don't.
• 77:30 - 78:00 No, no, no, no, no. Why am I getting the boomer emote? Isn't that an old game? Yeah, that's why it's like Wait, also I have a crazy Didn't we learn that I'm older than you? I think I believe we did. I'm 29 years young. That is wild. What do you What do you mean? Why are you so shocked with that? Then they call you old at 29. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, bro. I'm I turned 34 this year.
• 78:00 - 78:30 You turned 34 this year, bro. I feel like I'm in my 40s cuz I got two kids and Yeah. Wait, I feel like I'm in my 20s. I like I'm Oh my god. Okay, Demo, I know. Don't add this to the timer, but I I want I want you to know I did look into the I looked into Winnipeg hockey camps and Vancouver hockey camp. Starting the clock and and and and Chatterbox literally told me like, "Dude, just
• 78:30 - 79:00 don't in the summer just go to Vancouver. Just go." Yeah. Just go to I'm going to be real, bro. Just go to Vancouver. Save yourself. Moving on. Moving on. Moving on. Okay, moving on. Moving on. I By the way, I got accepted to one of the camps in Vancouver, so I'm going to hockey camp Vancouver. Thank you. Anyways, I have to grab some coffee. While I'm doing that, I want to know, okay, because we we've been covering sort of the state of of GTA roleplay. We've been covering all the stuff, catching up on things. What do you want to see?
• 79:00 - 79:30 You know, what do you want to see next? Whether it be in 5.0, Prodigy 3.0, Onyx 2.0, whatever server it ends up being, what do you want to see next in roleplay? Go while I grab coffee. That's a loaded question. This guy just did it to me. Oh my god. Yeah, he did it. You got to answer it. Oh my god. There's a lot of stuff. I don't know. I want to see less focus on gang
• 79:30 - 80:00 RP and just more that just more focus on the general like stuff. If you want to build mechanics, put it in the general and you know less clicks, right? uh more options with your cellular devices, group chats, also like you know all it's stuff that's like it's just take away the grinding and and add more like different mechanics that are more convenient to the role player like apps and stuff like that, right? Like your uh dude this the
• 80:00 - 80:30 one thing that every server fails on. Every [ __ ] server fails on this. Duck, you'll probably appreciate this one. Yeah, the news RP weasel news LSBN it's so no love given to that and I think that is one of the most important parts of civilian roleplay is the news RP could go so hard dude it could go so hard if they actually put the the love into it right and gave actual good
• 80:30 - 81:00 um stuff to it and when I say that I mean and also a rule a a a small rule for the police. You want to be a cop, whoever's lead on a scene, if they rob the casino, if they if the vault, if petty crimes happen, one cop has to stay on scene after and give a they have to do a report. They got to talk to the press. Exactly. They have to. Yeah. They shouldn't be allowed just to skip that
• 81:00 - 81:30 [ __ ] cuz you know, this has always been my opinion. I've never role played a cops. A lot of cop role players or viewers will probably hate me for saying this, but if you're being a cop, you are opting in to deal with everything. You're opting in to deal with different characters more serious, goofy, uh you're you're to read the rooms in every situation you go into and and not [ __ ] about it. You are opting in for that. You're getting a a cop pryo. You're getting you're getting your own queue. You're getting into the server. You are opting in to do all that stuff. And and
• 81:30 - 82:00 you you also get the great privilege of that people don't realize that when you are a cop, content and role play is given to you. You don't have to go and make it. Yeah. Which is actually a huge privilege. However, as a longtime multi-year crim player, but absolute cop apologist, I will also say this. Dude, the cops just get treated like [ __ ] sometimes. Absolutely. I'm I'm
• 82:00 - 82:30 a cop apologist and I'll also I think they should I think you have to if you're if you're a cop Yeah, I agree. It's like you have to be okay treating situations seriously, treating situations more goofy and like a little bit more chill because you're interacting with a different number of people. Don't make them write reports. Report to the press is awesome. I I genuinely think we need to stop cop paperwork and let cops role play. I
• 82:30 - 83:00 think paperwork's the dumbest thing ever. There is a obviously a point to the paperwork though, right? Obviously there's a point. But maybe maybe there's a way to limit the paperwork to the bigger things that happen instead of just, you know, like instead of just everything. Here's here's my here's my take. paperwork RP, the cop investigating RP, like investigation RP and paperwork RP should be opt in by the cop. The cop should want to do that and
• 83:00 - 83:30 build up a case against someone and then that's what goes to court. Otherwise, if you want to do court RP off a bench trial, we don't need to have a [ __ ] written report. We It should just be a way lower standard of evidence. like bench trials should just be way lower standard and just be all testimony based and that way people don't have to be screenshotting this collecting evidence like like just you know like I I feel like and this is
• 83:30 - 84:00 someone when whenever I play Klay Kona I love I I love traffic stops I love doing cop roleplay until I have to write a report and then I check out of it I can't I just can't do it's just so awful that's the only reason why I'll never be a cop is because I I can't I can't do reports. I can't I'm not I'm not good at typing and stuff either. Like I just can't do that. Like my brain I'm just I want to go there to role play and that's it. And if I can't do that, I'm not doing it. But I also know that cops get treated negatively because when
• 84:00 - 84:30 I did do um I was a cadet once in 3.0 and I went around I think I did three shifts as a cadet and I went around I was experiencing it firsthand. Like you know some people run into are great but like then you run into other people and you're like dude what what was that? Like what was that? And that brings me back to if you have some people floating around the server with the ability to bump you up or lower you down, you know, and you're not you're
• 84:30 - 85:00 not role playing, you're just being a a a bad word, you know? You're just being an ass. Uh you're going to lose prow. Your brow is going to slowly go down cuz you're being [ __ ] You know what I mean? Because people get too comfortable, right? Especially like people don't like cops. They're already comfortable. They got pryo. I'm gonna I don't give a [ __ ] I don't like this cop. I'm going to be a [ __ ] I'm going to be a dick. I'm going to be an [ __ ] That happens a lot, right? And they treat cops like [ __ ] Well, I don't care if you like him or not. You're you're you're role you're
• 85:00 - 85:30 on a roleplay server to role play. Whether you like him or not, you still got to role play. Uh, and if you're not, well, why are you why are you at a higher priority than somebody else waiting in line that's wants to get into role play? You know what I mean? People should never get too comfortable because when you get that comfortable is when people get so [ __ ] lazy. And which brings us to the results that we get after long after a long term of time when nobody's doing anything. Everybody's entitled and lazy. And
• 85:30 - 86:00 that's where we're that's that's kind of where we got. Oh, I I also I you said something in there that I'm curious your take on because this is this is something I I really I see it echoed on like I yeah I see it echoed on a lot of the platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and YouTube that there's almost this idea that like the longer you role play the like better you are as a role player or something like that where it's like oh yo they the hey they've been grinding
• 86:00 - 86:30 they're grinding they're showing up every My message to all role players, new and veteran, that doesn't I don't [ __ ] care how much you show up. I granted I will say the people who do show up every day and do good roleplay that that does matter. Yes. But the thing that I care about before that is are you doing good roleplay when you show up? There's some people where I I only see them once in a blue moon and they're phenomenal. Burn comes around uh like Father Christmas
• 86:30 - 87:00 every now and then and just drops incredible RP on us, right? Ain't no one does it like him, dude. It's insane. True. Yeah, that guy is Wow. And and I feel like sometimes people overvalue like the grind where I'm like, okay, but it's okay to also take a break, come around and be refreshed, right? Like it's it's okay to you know not I don't know I I feel like when some
• 87:00 - 87:30 people are like doing it almost too much that's when they slip into those like tendencies of being lazier of like being like a selfinsert etc. Yeah. Yeah. That's Yeah. But listen dude if you always have that thing creeping up on you like how's my priority level? If that was always in your mind, it would change what the way you think when you're actually on there because you don't want that priority level to go down. You want to stay where it is or go up. If you're thinking about losing
• 87:30 - 88:00 that, you're you're obviously going to put a little bit more effort, right? And you're not going to be that lazy because there's something on the line. Do do you know do you know Okay, hot take. Do you know what I think is going to change role play right now? At least actually I would even say even other servers are going to okay no pixel especially is going to see a huge increase in its roleplay and I even think other servers are as well and all it's going to take is one this developers reveal one secret trick our
• 88:00 - 88:30 peers hate them all right this is the one weird trick if they just announce 5.0 now or like give us a date or just like give give us any a crumb because they said it's invite only. Yeah, they're completely redoing the white list. Everything is cleared. It is now you are invited or not. That is when you I mean all of a sudden it's like from when they announce to when the whatever the date is that it
• 88:30 - 89:00 drops that is a window of basically open audition. Yeah. show people what you can do. And and Nikita, if you're still in the chat, take notes on this because I think this would be sick. That is the perfect time to give a few like trusted people that they already know that they're going to invite who they like know will curate good vibes. Give those people the ability to like recommend some invites to some smaller people like, "Yo, this per like trust. We need this person in
• 89:00 - 89:30 5.0. They're killing it." That would be sick. Yeah. Write that down. Nikita's like, "Why me? Why me?" I And like I know that like at the end of servers sometimes like weird [ __ ] happens. I actually do think the ending of I think No Pixel was smart in doing that of being like, "Hey, we're clearing everything and it's going to be invite only." I feel like it means that four I I I actually am really excited for like
• 89:30 - 90:00 the ending of 4.0 know because I think it's going to drive people to role play really well to try to get those invite spots. That's my hope at least. Look, when it when it was originally leaked that there was going to be invite only, there were already was that like like couple of weeks that I'm like, whoa, server's full and there's a lot of people you don't really see often and it lasted for a little while, right? So, you're absolutely right because when when it's actually officially put on the
• 90:00 - 90:30 line and on the table of when it's coming out. Yeah, it's that's definitely gonna happen. Side note, my favorite thing is it's like a really dumb OS joke. I love when someone's like I don't know. This is a horrible thing to like as a joke, too. I realize this is shitty of me. I love when people are like plus oneing like going really hard and they're like, "Hey, man." You go like, "Hey man, you already have pri chill." Like, "You don't need to do that." I don't know why you I said that to demo once.
• 90:30 - 91:00 That's [ __ ] up. You shouldn't do that. But I just found it funny. Oh my god. Did I ever tell you about the plus one? Oh my god. I've never done this against someone. I think I was supposed to do it against Fooley and then but you know, she stopped playing. You know what we can do? Do you want to have a Do you want to have a plus one? Do you want to compete with me in ranked role play? I have ranked role play. Ranked role play?
• 91:00 - 91:30 Yes. Oh my god. People in my chat knows I have a It's a It's a plus one counter and you and I will have to compete against each other for plus ones and we we basically compete to see who can plus like be the most immersive and in character for a day. Hey, that sounds fun. I mean, and you have to you giga commit. You giga commit to it. Like I'm down, dude. I will absolutely do that. That sounds fun. But
• 91:30 - 92:00 like, but by the way, if you do like it's all I will say it's like you definitely cannot do it ever. It's like one of those it's like one of those like kind of gimmicks you maybe do like once a month, once every two months cuz I lit you can't play the game this way. It's like like my chat will minus one me when I like they're like running to your car. That's weird. Minus one. Like it's like you have to walk. Yeah. Do you know Do you know what it reminds me of? Um, who is that guy who was um nominated for the roleplay awards for
• 92:00 - 92:30 our peer of the year? The Spanish guy. Oh. Uh, Juan. Dude, it reminds me of the way Juan plays where it's like it is literally like a [ __ ] TV show and like you're like, you know, you have like the music playing in the background, cam's off, you're like walking down the hallway like getting to your, you know, it's like it's like just just pure cinema the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I'm down. But I'm not doing it on Chatterbox. Yeah. No, I we have to do different
• 92:30 - 93:00 characters. Yeah. And I have a character specifically I'm going to do it on. David Durag is waking up chat. Who is David Durag? I basically have a another character. I have like a whole I have the clown group, right? But I also have a durag group. It's just a bunch of you know like the locals in Grape Seed like the big the bigger farmers. Yeah. Like it's those characters. It's all those guys where the drag from. We all talk like we
• 93:00 - 93:30 all talk like this [ __ ] get in a [ __ ] ben and get a burger, man. They're just [ __ ] I love they are [ __ ] bro. And I'm going to do it on that guy. That'll be really fun. I can plus one on that guy. Holy [ __ ] I don't even know who to There's one. Okay, there's there's one I'm not there's I there's one that I could I could cheat to beat you with, but I won't do it. The one that There's one
• 93:30 - 94:00 that Oh, there's one that I 100% can beat you with. It's the easiest. It's the easiest one to plus one farm. What? What is it? Wait, you never seen me play Nathan Blau? No, the Twitch streamer. Oh, that's the easiest one. You're such a self. You're just You're playing you as a Twitch streamer, dude. Oh, dude. Nathan Nathan Blau the Twitch streamer. I by the way this is it's like I also learned this right there there's like your everyday characters right like you can have like your chatter boxes your micy's your everydays right where it's
• 94:00 - 94:30 like you maybe maybe your your drag characters like this Nathan Blau I Nathan Blau is like I can bring this character out like once every two three months very disruptive character but it's literally just me IRL streaming in Los Santos I I I open mic I talk to chat and then my chat role plays as as an IRL chat hey dude That's actually That is cheating. That is cheating. It's It's It's cheating. It's actually cheating. That's a That's a really good character, though. I ain't
• 94:30 - 95:00 going to lie. It It's I I I'll say that. I love the character. It's really fun to play. Uh I mean, the character is a [ __ ] [ __ ] right? [ __ ] loser. like really it is really it is one of those characters that I try to be mindful of only playing like here and there because it is kind of like other people on the server are like talking to his chat like but like if you think about like if you go out in Los Angeles you'll find people [ __ ] walking around live streaming or like you know
• 95:00 - 95:30 making Tik Toks and [ __ ] like that's the one thing I was hoping I got I was going to get to see when I was actually there is people doing that and I never did see it. Depends where you go. Like if you go to like Santa Monica Pier, you'll see people. We did. We did. Oh, really? Yeah. We never did see anybody there now though. Yeah. You guys live in not a real place though. That LA is Oh my god. I get like bro, as soon as I walked out the airport, I'm like I
• 95:30 - 96:00 hear people honk and yelling at each other and I'm like, "Okay, this is this is something." And then it takes like, wow, we got a it'll take me 30 minutes to walk over there, catch an Uber, takes an hour or something, bro. Like, what is this? Welcome to Los Angeles, man. Yeah, I'm good. LA is sick, dude. I don't know. I I [ __ ] I like LA, man. Yeah. You know, I can't even order a pizza where I live.
• 96:00 - 96:30 What? Yeah, I can't. I got to drive. It's a 40minut drive to go get a pizza. I I can order I can I can order sushi pizza. Sushi pizza. Yeah, it's it's it's pizza, but it's like done as as sushi. Yeah, I try that. Oh, dude. LA food so good. Oh my god. I will admit you guys have everything and then more. Like it's just like wow.
• 96:30 - 97:00 Uh very overwhelming with the stuff you guys have there. Like it's it's insane. And then I come back here and I'm like, we got Tim Hortons, you know? Tim Hortons. It's it's a it's a simple life, you know. Yeah. It's I'm tell Dude, I'm telling you like I tell my chat this all the time. I'm a basic [ __ ] and I'm dead I'm dead dead on serious on that. Like I Yeah. Like when Ally When Ally first met me, she was like, "You never go anywhere, do you?" Like,
• 97:00 - 97:30 "No, I don't. Yeah. I mean, listen. Hey, I was I was a I was a country boy, okay? I grew up I grew up in the mountains of Colorado. I was a little a little mountain boy. Okay. Till what age? I just What was that? Till what age? Till I was 18. Till you were 18? Yeah. Why do I not Why do you There's no way. I was a white water I was a whitewater raft guide in the mountains.
• 97:30 - 98:00 That was my summer job. I used to take people down whitewater rapids. No cell service. Like that was my summer job. Winners I'd go up and just ski random [ __ ] places. I was I was a giga little mountain boy. Hung out at a lake, you know? Like I don't know. Like that was I was out a little changed you, man. Cuz you are 100% LA guy now. 100% 100%. No, it's probably it was probably Chicago first cuz I went to to school in
• 98:00 - 98:30 Chicago. That's what changed, bro. I've been to Chicago one time, and it was actually right after the LA trip. Uh cuz I went from LA, I flew to Indiana, went to go to see Theo, and then we drove to Nashville, I went and bought a truck, and then I towed it back to Canon. I had to drive through um Chicago. And I ain't never seen a city like that ever, bro. Like that was the way like how many skyscrapers are there and stuff like that, dude. I was just like, it actually
• 98:30 - 99:00 threw me off. I was like, I didn't I didn't like it. Like, cuz there's just like two different like I got we got we don't even have a skyscraper in Winnipeg, bro. Like, it's just Dude, we need to get you to go to New York City then cuz like Chicago is just like a slight It's like the New York of the Midwest, but not quite as New York as New York. I want to see the one reason why I want to go to New York is I want to see the what they call Time Square. Yeah. I will I will say vibe-wise though, Chicago's vibe as a city, it's
• 99:00 - 99:30 hard to explain to people who haven't been there. Like, dude, Chicago's vibe is actually immaculate. Chicago has like this vibe of like ah it's in the summer. Summertime Chicago one day. One day every other time [ __ ] sucks. I didn't stop there. I was just like, "No, that looks too intense for me. I'm staying on this interstate." Yeah. All right. We Okay, so already we we've we've done great yap for this first uh first podcast and we wanted to just do the the two of us just to kind of ease back into things, tell you guys
• 99:30 - 100:00 where state of RP is. Um so for those in the chat wondering, I used to kind of do more themed episodes. We're trying to kind of move away from that and go more podcasty where we'll talk about whatever like whatever's kind of relevant. Like we talked about the GTA 6 stuff today, the state of servers. Um, we'll also talk about I I I I like the idea that since we do it live, we should do a section where we we talk with the chat like or like questions from the chat, hot takes in the chat, whatever from chat. But then also, just so you guys
• 100:00 - 100:30 know, in the future, we are going to be bringing back guests, probably a little bit less theme, but we already have some uh some guests planned uh coming up, which will be really great. So, I got I got I got a question though. Sorry to interrupt, but like so on the guest thing like our like our next podcast, they're going to be a guest. Yes. Okay. And it's already locked in. No, don't leak that one yet. I I'm not leaking. I'm just asking. It's locked in. It's in the works. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. I was I was
• 100:30 - 101:00 Okay. Okay. Well, also also free. There's And that's on demo. Uh you have to The only reason I brought demo on as a producer is to again just like being a pocket role player. I'm just uh offloading Oh, yeah. I'm off a pocket producer. I'm offloading uh responsibilities to him. But um no uh this is actually something important for both of you. Uh you know now that you're this is a very is a very important thing when your chat or anyone else asks it. Will you invite this person on
• 101:00 - 101:30 the podcast? When is this person going to be on? Your answer is no. Because as soon as they ask about that person that they're blacklisted if their name popped up in chat I actually auto I have a AI bot that autob blacklists them from the podcast. So, well, chat, sorry, burn's not coming on. Yeah, sorry. Um, or you can go the other route, which is when they're like, "Oh my, you should bring this person on the podcast." Be like, "Yeah, actually, you know what I used to do? I used to be like, "Yeah, dude, I'll
• 101:30 - 102:00 bring them on the podcast." I should say yes to everyone. Honestly, yes. And it just say yes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, they're they're coming on for sure. Please have Ellen. Yeah, sure. Well, man, only problem with LM coming on is it is called the roleplay podcast. Why? Look, you want to spit some facts about LM and role play? That guy got no idea what he's doing. All right. And he knows he has no idea what he's doing.
• 102:00 - 102:30 All he wants to do when he gets on chat is he wants to get into a police chase and shoot a cop. That's what he wants to do every time. You guys know it. All right. So, if we have Alamont, that's all he's going to talk about. And then he's going to talk about how he's really scared of people getting into serious RP because he doesn't know how to separate. Done. That's all the podcast would be. Perfect. That's two episodes in one. Nice. All right. Um so yeah, that that's just like a warning to you to to you. It's like
• 102:30 - 103:00 and and generally to everyone in the chat like yeah, we're going to invite guests on. If we want advice on what guests we want on, we'll ask. We're not going to ask you. Um, but we will now ask you chat. It is time the roleplay podcast because we do this podcast live. It's time for the interactive section from chat. What are your what are your roleplay hot takes? What are your roleplay questions? What do you guys want discussed on the podcast right now
• 103:00 - 103:30 at Chatterbox at Demoke Blau in the chat with your questions, comments, concerns, commentary. Thank you so much. Now we wait. Now we have other people type RP cringe question mark sometimes. Yep. Um Oh my god, so many things. Okay.
• 103:30 - 104:00 Supernatural RP works with li with limits. That's I mean I agree with that. It does work with limits. I'm It's funny. I'm like a I struggle with I'll be honest, I struggle with supernatural RP. Like I I feel like it for me it's like it's just also like it's if it's within the world like I'm like kind of like locked in the world of like GTA.
• 104:00 - 104:30 Like if it's within the bounds of like the GTA world, it feels fitting. But like I don't know if I want to play like if I want to go like and do some like magic [ __ ] like werewolves and stuff like Hogwarts Legacy roleplay when so waiting for them to launch a server for that, right? Like Yeah. Like you you know what I mean? Like I I just feel or if you had a dedicated server to it like I think someone was saying there was like a whole like GTA server that was like vampire oriented. I just think it's really hard on
• 104:30 - 105:00 a on a server that's not dedicated to it to then it's it's almost like that memory wipe thing that we talked about where it's like some people are doing it, some people aren't. It's hard to like balance it. That's my thoughts on it. Yeah, for me it just depends what it is, right? Like I don't know. Uh if it doesn't make sense, I'm like I stay far away from it, right? Uh, but I don't know. It does work with limits, right? But you just Yeah, you have to be or or you let Yeah, you let
• 105:00 - 105:30 it be on the server, but you might not. Someone said, "How do clowns fit into GTA?" There's literally clown things that occur in the base story mode of GTA. Wait, what? There's lit Wait, what? That there's literally like clown things that occur in the base story of GTA. The I didn't I didn't play up until that point, but I heard it's pretty dark, so it's like kind of Oh, yeah. But they exist. We're different, chat. Don't worry.
• 105:30 - 106:00 Uh, how do you feel about people that don't take scuff into account when RPing? I guess it just depends. I mean, you I mean, sometimes you just roll with the scuff. I mean, scuff is scuff. It happens, right? But like I don't know. It just I don't know. It just depends on the scuff. I mean, if it's something super unfortunate, then like okay, right. But I don't know. It
• 106:00 - 106:30 just depends. That's just that's a question that's hard to answer. It's that's just very situation dependent. Yeah. I think you roll with it, dude. If you're playing Valor and your internet goes out, you're not going to write an email to like Riot or Spectrum to try to get your RR back. Like [ __ ] deal with it. Like go next. Um you guys don't do that. Well, I mean like when I was even doing like the job for you guys and I didn't know if I could change the weather and it was like the crazy stormy [ __ ] I was like, "Well,
• 106:30 - 107:00 I think he's I think an excellent time for him to cut out." What an excellent time for him to cut out. Sorry, my internet. Yeah, there you go. Oh my god, that was a horrible t Spectrum. Spectrum, I'm chill. Spectrum, chill. Write the email. Write the email. Chill. You better get right. No, I mean like when you guys were doing the the like helicopter heist, right, and I didn't know how to [ __ ] change the weather and I was like and I even told I was like chat, they'll they can fly the they'll figure it out. I spawned a helicopter, flew it, just [ __ ] buck me instantly crash. I was like I at that point I like okay
• 107:00 - 107:30 they're going to do the job. It's going to be cinema and they're going to try and fly it away while it's stormy and they're going to crash it and then that's that's how it is. It is what it is. Yeah. I think you just you just rolled it. It's just like with the boat, right? The boat was like going crazy. were like let's new plan improvise like you know there was a concerns of any clowns not being whitelisted to 5.0 initially nope not at all that's up to them to do their
• 107:30 - 108:00 part not mine okay someone said ERP takes blow 5.0 know with ERP or not. Yeah. No, I like I think it's I think what my my take on ERP is it's like it's funny when it's like I think it's good content when it's roleplay. Yeah. Versus like Yeah. Yeah. Cuz hey, this this can go into a totally different conversation going back to
• 108:00 - 108:30 your fantasy character [ __ ] bro. Yeah. What was it? Like some there there's a difference between role play and we're just cyber [ __ ] like that's that's like I mean I I don't know like I think it should be a heavy not should not happen unless it's very clear humorous roleplay like very clear that there is a very strict boundary and it's not h it's
• 108:30 - 109:00 not like you're doing it every day with your RP like Ain't nobody really want to see that. Okay. Yeah. And and like dude, Nikia is right where it's like most people don't know what they mean by like ERP, right? Um people will see relationship RP and say it's roleplay or sorry E, oh you guys are ERP or stuff like that, bro. Like that's not always the case. Weirdly enough, the the I don't know if you even
• 109:00 - 109:30 you probably don't even know about this side of roleplay I've done. You know, I actually went I I did really serious People don't realize I did pretty serious relationship RP in 4.0, but it was like between Mickey and Slacks. It was gay roleplay. Like we're gay and and it wasn't like I I feel like a lot of people when they do this, not I'm not trying to be like super I'm not trying to like yuck other people's yum here or like criticize. I feel like sometimes when people go with like the gay stuff, they're like
• 109:30 - 110:00 especially when it's like straight guys doing it, it's like, "Yeah, man." like suck my [ __ ] [ __ ] you in the butt. Like it's very like that. Whereas me and Sab, Sab presum, you know, Sabres presumably straight, me decreasingly straight, right? Like we role played it as like a very like it was like a romance. It was not sexual. It was like really like cutesy romantic [ __ ] That was the most challenging role play I've had to do was
• 110:00 - 110:30 was that kind of [ __ ] And and I I don't like that people just label anything that's like a romantic or even sexual relationship between two characters as oh that's ERP, right? It's like no. Like sometimes it's just it's just good content. It's like people playing those characters that way. Yeah. And it doesn't have to be like you know the [ __ ] that you hear randomly. Yeah. at the vanilla unicorn 3 in the morning. Honestly, you can have
• 110:30 - 111:00 very serious like um you can have very serious uh relationship RP. You can do that and I think that is 100% okay, right? Anybody can do that. But you got to leave like the sexual stuff far out of it unless it's clearly just a quick actual funny ass joke. Otherwise, you shouldn't be doing it at all because I mean, and and again, it's also like it's it's like one of those where it's like like we
• 111:00 - 111:30 said, it's a read the room thing. Dude, I I also the Penny and Curtis clips are so [ __ ] funny. Or like Penny and Harry, like dude, some of those clips and that [ __ ] was gigasual. Got people [ __ ] banned sometimes, but that [ __ ] was golden. Like that was Sorry for the pun, but it was it was [ __ ] great. Um Alli just said seriously serious relationship RP isn't ERP that needs to be said more. Absolutely. Yeah. As long
• 111:30 - 112:00 as you're leaving you're there's a clear boundary in there, right? You're not doing anything even, you know, remotely suggesting stuff like that, right? I think the antithesis of most stories is, you know, these relationships that that the characters in it build. I think like disregarding all relationship RP is so silly because it can push forward so many, you know, storylines. It can make things more intense, more impactful. It can really drive so much roleplay surrounding it. I think there just need like people just need to understand like
• 112:00 - 112:30 relationship role play. Yeah. Is very different than like just two people, you know, just wanting to role play out like sex with each other. Like that's very different and not the same thing at all. Right. That's that's ERP, right? The other stuff is not. Yeah. Like literally some of the be like the best works of media, film, storytelling, whether they be comedy or like a drama involve romance, right? That [ __ ] those Troy
• 112:30 - 113:00 [ __ ] took Helen of Troy start a [ __ ] war. Now look where we are. You know that that was my example. I don't know. But now imagine, bro, imagine, okay, I'm I'll say it like imagine now that you know, Homer's writing, you know, um, the Iliad, right? And instead of like I don't know, like what if like like 20 pages out of the Iliad was just him like graphically describing like I don't know, Paris and Helen like [ __ ] like that would kind of ruin the vibe of
• 113:00 - 113:30 the book. Like it's like, yo, hey, here's the Iliad. Here's the Odyssey. It's like, hey man, why do you have like just 20 pages dedicated to them banging here, man? like that. That's you're kind of ruining the vibe of the Trojan War. Like what the [ __ ] is this? Sorry. No. Well, maybe some people are about that though, you know. Yeah. It cirles back to what we said earlier too. It's one of those where like the constant like communication is really important too. I think you know like making sure like oh see everybody knows everybody's on the same page, right? I
• 113:30 - 114:00 think that's really important for that kind of stuff as well. That's why, you know, I think more people should do that more often just to make sure everybody's feeling comfortable with the roleplay and stuff, you know. Uh there there was a qu I've seen this question now twice. Blau, would you make a a clown character? No. Why not, man? What's What's up with that answer, man? That was just a very clear like, you know, that was an aggressive no. Like, what's going on? No. Hey, that's
• 114:00 - 114:30 you know why? Why not? That's Hey, that's your guy. Hey, that's your guys's thing. Okay, that's What if we made clowns together? What if me and you made clowns together and just troll? Oh, wait. Democrat player. Wow. You I guess you can RP solo, huh? He needs a partner, man. No, no, no, no. I I think my my a like Okay, chat like hear me out if if
• 114:30 - 115:00 you know like sort of why like my like would I maybe like as like as like a maybe like a one day thing. I think I I think I would do like it's not I love what you guys do. I think I would have fun doing it. I also like I'm just like I I'm cognizant though of like like as an example I only made the character December Foos because Foolsley like asked if I wanted to make that character and then I also
• 115:00 - 115:30 don't play the character as a like you know that's not like a main character of mine right and and like she even and again it was like one of those where it's like look at Janet with like January foods like that was one where it's like they agreed on that and then and then Jan and at X Chok, like, "Oh, that's going to be my main." Like, that was like an agreed upon kind of like thing. Yeah. And for me, it's like I I only go and play December like once in a [ __ ] blue moon, right? So, yeah, if I made a clown, like I wouldn't I I wouldn't just like wake up and be like, "Yo, like I'm a full-time clown."
• 115:30 - 116:00 Listen, dude. I'm going to tell you this right now. That's a foo character, okay? It's not like you're a clown character. The way the way it would be weird if you just made a a a fumbles character as like you know because stumbles fumbles right that that's something you ask you can make a clown I don't dictate who can make a clown or not anybody can make a clown all all the groups right it's it's a little different yeah it's you can do
• 116:00 - 116:30 whatever you want there could be a thousand clowns see that' be that'd be awesome it's just you know a thousand clowns can't be in one group though right it's just It just doesn't work, right? If you vibe good with people, then then those clowns generally ride with each other and do stuff with each other, right? It's all about your vibe. That's how it works with characters like that. Yeah. And for me, it's like I would want to um It actually is funny. I I was I was considering making a uh Do you want to Do you want to know that you cuz you
• 116:30 - 117:00 pitched that I I'll I'll leak it to chat. Not saying I still won't do this, but so so uh Chatterbox did even say for the event you want like cuz I was I was coming to supply you guys and and you said you he you wanted me give me the lore bond. You wanted me to have like some character that was like from the old like clown cell. Yeah, cuz you were like cuz if you wanted to just join in on the fight, right? You could have been like you could have showed up with a clown, right? And uh if you had no idea what you wanted to do, bang, you could came in part of the lore. I came from the old clownress that fell, right?
• 117:00 - 117:30 Right? Cuz clown clownress went down. All this stuff happened. It's a big L. And you could be like, I got this info. I got all these guns and stuff like that. I'm here to help defend because like you know what's happening. You know what's coming. And you brought this shipment. So So my my what I was considering doing is I was going to make like a really [ __ ] like epic looking kind of like like [ __ ] serious looking ass clown that was going to be like a really old guy. Super [ __ ] like giga ancient clown. Yeah. And I was
• 117:30 - 118:00 going to like and I was going to like the vibes were going to be like think like um like Final Fantasy like 15 battle music like epic orchestra [ __ ] oh man giga OG clown comes in and I was going to be flanked by like [ __ ] helicopters and like all sorts of armaments like yo like we've come with the [ __ ] and I was going to have the character like die in perma in some epic [ __ ] like during the fight right have the time for that would have been the perfect time for that too cuz how
• 118:00 - 118:30 intense it was. That would have been so good. And it would have been like one of those like Yeah. Someone said Gandalf. Yeah. I would have been it would have been like a I would have like showed up before all them like look look to the east for my light on the third day and then like during the fight like come in with like a [ __ ] attack helicopters. This old ass clown like that would have been Yeah, that that was I was looking for like that like old man like Gandalf kind of like savior that then dies and sacrifices. I think that would have been cool. The Clandalf.
• 118:30 - 119:00 Yeah, that Dumble. Yeah, Dumbledore robot. But I [ __ ] I I I was busy. So, hey, listen, man. Keep that idea cooking because there may be another great opportunity for that coming up the way the way RP looks like it's going. So, keep that idea there, bro, if you ever want to, you know, actually make that a reality because you never know. Okay. It makes, by the way, it it makes me happy that Nikita said we could have used the freaking tank. Dude, that I don't know if I told you this. I The
• 119:00 - 119:30 tank demo, I don't even know if you know this tank bit. Nikita must know cuz it was in the admin chat. I spawned the By the way, it was in the admin chat. Oh, no. The tank. The tank was always supposed to be the the bit was always that we would like actually get you the tank cuz you requested, but then like something would always occur where you couldn't use the tank. We're not like actually use it. I [ __ ] left the tank at Merryweather docs and then like in in in like OC chat this was like, "Hey,
• 119:30 - 120:00 like there's a there's a tank at the Merryweather." Like some random people found him and Sab was like messaging me like, "Hey man, like are you using this tank for?" And this is the worst part was Sab like Sab was like, "Hey, like I locked it." So I'm like, he's like, "I know you like probably need it like for like your event or your mission." And I then had to explain to Sab. I was like, "No, I spawned that in for a bit." Um, and you forgot about it. Dude, I thought you put it in the ocean. Well, then I put it in the ocean. Oh,
• 120:00 - 120:30 you had to go back. Oh, cuz I was I was literally like watching you guys setting stuff up and and I was like, "Oh, [ __ ] I forgot about the tank. Dude, the text message, by the way, was so funny. We're all down by the cops. Situation's done. And now I get a text. Hey, I found the keys. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know. Like the the the idea of the I I also like kind of using the admin or like dev panel for stuff like that where it's like you kind of tease things, but like you know, the bit of like Mickey of like Mickey trying
• 120:30 - 121:00 to get you guys a tank is it's like I I had I have to keep that going. Always coming around with it. Just it never works, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um the other thing that was funny, I had an attack helicopter that I just Okay. Usually after I've spawned stuff in for like an event. Um I did learn by the way finally how to delete entities, but it took me there's a whole system with in panel where you have to learn how to like Yeah, you have to like select an entity and then delete. There was a
• 121:00 - 121:30 complicated system and until I learned how to do that, Demoke will tell you cuz we were off stream doing this. I would just ocean dump everything and the way you climb I climb into the car teleport marker out into the ocean. So like there was like prime moments in the server where there was like I don't know like 12 attack helicopters just dumped in the ocean somewhere from me like testing [ __ ] out. Um, so yeah, I I've been polluting the server, so sorry. I figured out not how to delete [ __ ] now, guys. Thank God for
• 121:30 - 122:00 the reset, dude. I was okay. Also, I real there's just like some things in the [ __ ] menu that scare like it's like delete entity and I'm always like I'm used to like I used to work with like the panels with some of the games and stuff like at Riot like the League like and League is such a [ __ ] spaghetti code game where like you would like use the panel for League and if you clicked on something you just [ __ ] crash the whole thing, crash your PC, [ __ ] all of Los Angeles Westside internet goes down. like powers out like
• 122:00 - 122:30 it was bad. Like that [ __ ] was corrupted. So anyways, next uh take from chat. Another take chat. Let's go. Let's do it. Bubba. Yeah, honestly Nikita Nikita being the first one to use the the tank on Tesla would be great actually cuz I can trust her. I can trust you to use it. Not just like you always get worried like someone's just gonna [ __ ] that thing. You literally could just power
• 122:30 - 123:00 game with that thing, dude. Somebody would just drive into the city and just start opening it up like Yeah. I do not trust Oh, don't worry about I got a great question for you. Okay. Yes. Okay. Yeah. From production in my ear. Yeah. Wasn't like all the code with Scarnner written in the game code and that's why it took so long to rework him. Um, this is clearly a League of Legends question. So, actually this is a question only for Chatterbox to answer. Um, what? Yeah, once again, all the code written for Scar are also used for important game code, and that's why it took so long to rework him. Any comment
• 123:00 - 123:30 on that, Chatterbox, the League question of the day. Yes. And that's your answer. Thank you guys. You're welcome. The the one that they have shared by the way though demo of like true spaghetti code for League of Legends is that the entire the entire map used to the way they like did abilities and stuff was the entire map was actually gritted out in invisible teemos.
• 123:30 - 124:00 What? Wait, really? It's a very complicated. They basically made the entire map filled with invisible Teeos as like a way to like grid the map. It was insane. Don't worry. Okay, real question though. RP moments that you that you uh regret. Is there anything you've ever done an RP that you're like, "Gh, that was a bad idea. Uh, murdering
• 124:00 - 124:30 giblets could he be?" Yeah. Yeah. One prank too far. Yeah. I prank called the gang, the BBMC, and then I guess they they found out that it was chatterbox. I prank called them, so they permeured one of the clowns. One of my favorite clowns. Yeah, that's tough. The first clown I ever role played with back in 2019. Damn. Damn. Sad. Yeah. Mine was uh Yeah, mine was
• 124:30 - 125:00 beating Mickey in character on record. just [ __ ] from there basically. [Laughter] Um I actually do have a re I I do have a recent regret and it's like I don't regret the outcome. It's just like the way it went down. I I just kind of felt bad for like some of the parties involved. Um and I'm not I don't put blame on me. There's it was it's just a complicated
• 125:00 - 125:30 time, complicated situation. When the company ended, I wanted it to end. I did not want it like I feel like some of the circumstances around it were not great. Um, as basically me and Demo had already planned to leave and and do our own thing. Like it was it was kind of like we wanted the story to end. It was like, hey, this is the company has an ending point. We move on. So, we wanted to do
• 125:30 - 126:00 that. Um, I don't know. It being like tied into like it just it got a little too dramatic for us though, like some other stuff. It turned a little It turned a little messy. It was messy. Yeah. But it was like one of those where like I think it was also like people didn't if they if they hadn't been watching me or Demoke, they didn't realize that we were already planning to do that. I got to step away for like 30 seconds. I am being I'm being called. Okay. step away and then I'm
• 126:00 - 126:30 gonna Okay, I'm gonna answer I I He's gone. I can answer [ __ ] with a ton of drama. Perfect. Um Oh god. Okay. With Rockstar owning it 5M, how do you feel about potential community servers for RP on GTL? I all I'll say is this. I think Rock I will stand by this take chat. Rockstar owning 5M and Rockstar being involved in role
• 126:30 - 127:00 play. There could be some good, could be some bad. I think it is 100% a net positive. I think it is good. It It shows that Rockstar is interested in this. You have to realize that they could have shut down I I'm pretty sure they could have if they wanted to they could have shut down 5 M at a time. I think they did that and they also did that uh remember they did roleplay week where they were giving out so many subs uh to all the roleplay streamers and I feel like I I and I'm also just thinking
• 127:00 - 127:30 if if I'm Rockstar I look at what's kept GTA 5 alive beyond just online but I'm like I'm if I'm at Rockstar I'm like dude why is our game still the like one of the most streamed games you know 10 12 years later and I'm like yeah let's support that. So, I think it's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. And and yeah, El's right. They
• 127:30 - 128:00 they were beefing with 5M ahead of time. Uh there was a beef with 5M. No, no, no. The the question I was responding to is like it was about Rockstar's involvement. I'm like I mean there's always like good and bad when like developers get in to like the modding scenes or whatever, but like in g like also look at how like Minecraft handled like bedrock and Java, right? Like I think that's been like they they've allowed both those ecosystems to
• 128:00 - 128:30 exist, right? Yeah. I just think I I think it's like it's just got to be a net positive thing that they're because they also did like uh remember they did roleplay week, right? Where they were like gifting subs to role players. They acknowledge they acknowledge the modded community which is Yeah. Plus, right? So, I mean, I don't know. I mean, it's easy to doom about stuff, right? And they didn't shut five. They didn't shut it anybody down. So, it it can only mean good things. Let's be
• 128:30 - 129:00 real. My opinion. Um, wait, this is a hot take. Soft permas should replace most permas as it allows people who may want to come back in a different version the chance to. What's a soft perma? What does that really mean though? Like how do you how do you go about doing a soft perma? It's it's the way it
• 129:00 - 129:30 did. Um, look, I I will I will say that from my point of view, I actually I think I do believe in firm permas. There would be no other situation I would bring recorders back than the one that we are currently in because me and Blau talked about it a long time and we said you know we're going to do this like this is kind of an OC thing to run these heists and you know it's like something we want to do like you know not you know because a lot of his OC prep work and stuff we're like
• 129:30 - 130:00 it does it make more sense for Mickey to come in with a character a new like a like a new character that I make that is basically just Breers but you know cuz he's like just Mickey sidekick essentially but I just changed his name And like obviously he'll act different, but you record. Yeah. It just felt so hollow. It's like, well, I'm just going to make a recreation of a character. Like if there's a way that I can just take this old character and, you know, retool him, then I'd rather do that because it makes more sense a for the story and b for like what we were trying
• 130:00 - 130:30 to do. You know what I mean? And I think that's why it was easy for me to like do that to bring back. But normally I would never like I've perma four characters across my time in in Noixel and I've never brought any of them back until till or had any desire to. I mean you're not really allowed to either unless like you have to get like approval and stuff like that. Yeah. Special permission and all that. Technically. Yeah. And technically Demoke didn't didn't OC perma. Yeah. Never. Yeah. He he he never he he never
• 130:30 - 131:00 actually perma like by the server rules never permit the charact. And I did that intentionally actually. That was an that was an intentional decision when I was killing the character cuz I was like I don't know what's going to happen like and also you know Blau wasn't like super like uh role playing around that time. So it's like if like Mickey wants to do something in the future to like you know I don't want to cut off that RP avenue you know what I mean or if like Benji or Ray and they did like they kidnapped him and put him in the you know humane lab. So I I wanted to leave it open-ended. I
• 131:00 - 131:30 I and I do feel like that we did get the best of both worlds because my only counterpoint to that hot take is at the time I for me and for other people role playing it felt like a perma like it was like the character was dead and that created so much good RP. Yeah, I was I was back and probably did some of the best serious roleplay I've ever done for like I think for like two weeks I did like a two week long arc that was probably the best serious roleplay I've done and you know that was enabled by
• 131:30 - 132:00 that. So, it's funny you say that because I guess you can say what Valkyrie did was a soft permit, too, because she just did a Raymon dipped, leave the left the city, right? That could technically be like, you know, considered a soft permit because she's been gone for she's not there. She's been gone. Uh, right. And then that sparked my my serious RP I did when I came back from uh TwitchCon. And it
• 132:00 - 132:30 lasted for [ __ ] like a month, I think, or more. I don't know. But it was really good. Like it was really good. Yeah. So I think it's like I think you can have both, right? I think it's still okay for some people to truly just perma a character, you know? Yeah. I think Yeah, I think there's room for both avenues. Yeah. All right. What are your All
• 132:30 - 133:00 right. Next takes, chat. Next takes. Thoughts on all role players should have one? I I I think all role players should absolutely play a second character at some point or be forced to play a second character or just a one lifer like just to like try different things. I don't know. It it helps with creativity, creative blocks too because it like you get ideas from playing other characters too with your with your main character and stuff like that just by playing other characters. I found that a lot just by going on doing different things.
• 133:00 - 133:30 It sparks different I don't know that's just me. No, I think it also helps like you understand the city better because it's essentially a reputation wipe too. Like of course people recognize your voice still and sometimes but like you know you're not you know if you're like a big gang maybe you're not like the leader of a gang anymore. You're just a normal guy now on this other character and you see things from a very different perspective. Exactly. Yeah, that's good. It's like cop characters should have uh a crim or civ character and
• 133:30 - 134:00 like gang members should always at least attempt to see what the other side is too like at least attempt to see what cops go through too. It actually changes your your perspective a lot, right? I'm very in the middle with all of them. I'm very very in the middle like because I see like I know cops get treated like [ __ ] like blouse said they get treated like [ __ ] but like I also know that our crims get treated like [ __ ] too right. Yeah. So the kid said I think everyone should try playing a civilian normally at least one
• 134:00 - 134:30 time. Yeah. Actually, uh, one of there's two one character that was really fun to play that made me like that changed my perspective on role. Remember when we played our the [ __ ] regular guys? The goal. We were just talking about that. Yeah, we played to I'm just a [ __ ] regular guy just to go postal worker delivering back like that. It like it like really like changes your perspective on like what is normal and isn't normal in the city. Like that was Yeah. Like, weirdly enough, when you
• 134:30 - 135:00 when we're roleplaying, you know, a crazy psychotic clown or a sassy gay bank heistister, right? All of a sudden, when you pull everything back to I'm a delivery guy for Go Postal, it really like changes your perspective on the world. So, yeah. No, that that was a really fun uh bit that day. That was Oh my god. Um, yeah, that was it.
• 135:00 - 135:30 Um, any I'll look up to take inspiration from several. Several. I'm right here. You can just You can just save me. That's fine. Do you ever do you ever name Because if if you're going to name them, I'm wondering if you deal with this, right? Because if you name them then then your chat will I don't know maybe maybe maybe the chats maybe yours doesn't do this as
• 135:30 - 136:00 much. Mine does. A lot of the roleplay chats do it but like I I and side notes my pet peeve about role play is when I'm like damn dude Tonyy's a good driver and then like the chat be like um what about Goofy? Uh what about like Dale it's like oh I didn't mention that person's a good drive. I'll go [ __ ] myself. Like I'm sorry. like anyways. So, who are the ones who inspire you so that I can tell you who you left out? Burn Rammy when he plays
• 136:00 - 136:30 Conan. Obviously, Lord Kevin, that guy like that guy sent that that guy like really gave me a kick in the ass. Okay, because he every day when that guy gets on, he does something different. What are you laughing about? The Ramo the Conan thing, bro. It's like Ramy when he role plays. What? Dude, when he plays Conan, dude, you cannot I'm kidding. I'm kidding. You
• 136:30 - 137:00 cannot tell me that that is not Conan streams are peak peak, dude. It's so good. I love when he plays Conan, dude. Every time he plays Conan, I'm like, I want to watch so bad because Oh my god, dude. when he came, dude, whatever the clips were when he came back and he's on the call with Slacks and it's just calling him B. He's like, "Bass, Bass, where are you? I need your help." It was like an early 4.0 was the
• 137:00 - 137:30 funniest [ __ ] ever. Dude, the end of 3.0 when he when he was joining the Sanguine War, but the other side cuz he was getting a mobility scooter out of it. It was stupid, man. Oh god. Yeah, just stuff like that, bro. That I was just like, man, I could do better. You know, these guys are doing this stuff. Like, I could do better. Like, it's just it's little bits from different people like Burn just with how creative he is with different characters and the voices and like how immersive he is. Uh, Kevin with like his dedication
• 137:30 - 138:00 to he he plays one thing all the time, but he's like every day when he gets on, it's like he's always making sure it's entertaining and he's he keeps going. It's he never stops and like you can't like for I I I can't not respect something like that. at Rammy with his creativity with his charact like with with Conan, bro. Like just what he does with it and how he can do the cop role really well, but also be a absolute troll of a character and make it like
• 138:00 - 138:30 it's just it's stuff like that, bro, that I watched that I'm like, "Wow, I like it makes me want to like to to to play and do more." Right. And then just obviously 2024 when I met uh Ray Mund, right? It was just like that's the story driven stuff like the all the storytelling and all that like it that it's just all all those things like really help me keep uh getting ideas and keep going, right? Cuz you take bits and pieces out of those people that I watch. It's
• 138:30 - 139:00 like that's how I'm able to keep going every day because I just I kind of think about all that. That is a that is a good list. I don't think anyone's gonna Damn. Wow. Oh, yeah. Demo. What? I'm curious about you, Demo. We'll go to production here. Production. Yeah, production in. Uh, what's the question? Who are the ones who have inspire? Like, who do you think inspire
• 139:00 - 139:30 you the most? Inspire? Um, yeah. Uh, uh, gosh, I used to, uh, I think, uh, I'm I'm really inspired by Buddhist roleplay, actually. Um, I think okay I think Buddha is a great I think Buddha is a great player and I think he can do so much different stuff like looking at what he does now versus what he did in 3.0 with Cberus is kind of cool to see like him hit those two very different ranges of you know these these big organizations. I think it takes a lot of work to do that. Um, uh,
• 139:30 - 140:00 in the same vein, I actually, uh, I hate to say this cuz she's [ __ ] in the chat, I'm sure, but, I think Nikita is a great role player, too. Like, I don't want to ask Nikita, but I've role played with Nikita for like a long time, like uh, on Wild and like here and stuff. And I think like I think like characters like Tessa uh, are really like undervalued because they add so much to roleplay scenarios, but like a lot of the time they aren't like the loudest voice in the room, so people will ignore them. But they are like the
• 140:00 - 140:30 big pushers, you know. She carried the my Jagger arc. She carried it. She carried it. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people forget about characters like that, but I think that kind of roleplay is really inspiring. Um, and what I tend to do like I I tend to just want to support other people's stories. I love that stuff. What about you, Blow? Yeah, these are good lists. Um, no one on the gut. Uh let's see.
• 140:30 - 141:00 Uh yeah, listen, uh listen, despite crazy like long-term, you know, I was in CG, left CG, all that stuff. Uh I actually echo your thought. Uh Kevin will always be a huge source of inspiration. Literally the the identity of Mickey as a heist master of being of involving himself in crazy plans to steal things, break people out, do what?
• 141:00 - 141:30 Like the crazy plans of Mickey is is a literal like mentor menty relationship of Mr. K and Mickey like and Mickey is all will like forever in his lore is like a the disciple of Mr. K for like these crazy mastermind criminal plans. Like that's always part of his lore, right? Um so likewise, I get a lot of inspiration from Kevin. Um
• 141:30 - 142:00 uh okay, this one this one is like my chat's going to roast me for it. This is uh less of like the car. This is just more because I'm a lazy content creator. I do a thing where um when I'm out of ideas for content, there's one streamer where I'll I watch her streams and I basically just steal her ideas and then slightly twist them around and call them my own. Yeah. Um and that's Fooley. Uh so uh so I listen like a April is like
• 142:00 - 142:30 April is a great reference to learn to do a lot of [ __ ] I I actually based a lot of like it's funny Mickey became much more of a like the sassy gay character by actually having a lot more Aprilisms put into the character like the way you might not even real like it's one of those things where I feel like you don't think about it but then if I say it you're like wait a minute I kind of see that like that the way I'm like really sassy and obnoxious with Mickey is kind of it's like a gay guy coded version of April. Um, and I yeah,
• 142:30 - 143:00 I copied that from Foolsley cuz sometimes I when I don't have ideas, I have to wait for her to go live on stream to steal whatever ideas she comes up with. So, Kevin Foolie and then uh uh Buddha is also one for me, but that's just like I don't know why and and I I will like oh this is you want to a role I didn't role play at all with Buddha in in 4.0 you know, and so like I that was like a I had to like really swim on my own. But some of my
• 143:00 - 143:30 best role play is when like me and Buddha cook ideas together. The ski cocaine arc in 3.0 was a will always be my it's probably my favorite arc of any arc even more than mayor like the mayor Mickey arc. Casino ice. None of that [ __ ] mattered compared to when me and Buddha were just getting random people to sell cocaine for us. It was and that was that like I don't even know if you know the whole story of this art Jbox. We literally, it
• 143:30 - 144:00 was random new people on the [ __ ] server that were like taking out loans to buy our cocaine to then go and and we create a pyramid scheme to go they would buy the cocaine from us to sell to other people to we created this [ __ ] crazy network pyramid scheme of people buying and selling cocaine. And it was when cocaine didn't really it wasn't like a it was all it was pure roleplay. No no no like major buff. We used to just lie to people about what the what buffs it
• 144:00 - 144:30 gave you. It barely gave you any buff. We just would make [ __ ] up about it. Big brain. Big brain. That actually sounds lit. Oh my god. Anyway, so those are my That's my inspo. Good [ __ ] Oh, hell yeah. All right. All right. Can we talk hockey again or like you can end it with one one minute of hockey and your timer starts now. Okay. Blow. Who do you think's actually taking the cup? For
• 144:30 - 145:00 real. For real, bro. Who do you think has the best chance? Like like like who does my head say? Yes. Yeah. Oh, you're not going to like it. I Dude, just say it. It's probably the Panthers. You think the Panthers? Uh my head says the least look the the lease looks shaky like right like it's probably an East Coast team. No. Uh my head says the Oilers, but my heart wants the Jets, but I think the Oilers are hungry, bro. Oh. Oh. Oh. Actually, no. No. I believe I
• 145:00 - 145:30 believe this this take, too. Um Oilers. End time. End time. End time. Tune in in two weeks to hear the rest of that take, everybody. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how this uh I I also will say this is just a this is not a hockey thing. This is a this is just formal business thing. If uh if the Jets do make it to the Stanley Cup finals, I will fly out to watch the Stanley Cup. Oh, you got a you
• 145:30 - 146:00 got a place to stay and I'll get the tickets. You know, we good. So, and Oh my and we get and and we get to do the white out, right? Where we wear all white and Oh, [ __ ] You, me and Ally are definitely going. That would be Dude, I'm down to go with you. I That's why I hope the Jets make it. It's also like a bucket list of mine to go to Stanley Cup finals game. Anyways, um that was episode one. We're just catching up on all things roleplay. GTA 6 has a launch date, guys. We are one
