1. Leader of Ballas
2. Why do you want to be a leader of this specific organization? (List three reasons with explanation)
In all my time on GrandRP I have never seen the gang scene as dead as it is right now. Gangs have numbers but barely anyone shows up to events, and when they go to events it's mostly just because they are required to and not to actually win and compete. It also feels like gangs either focus on turfs or events now, but not both like it should be. If you give me leadership of Ballas I will make sure that every single member in there is active and actually goes to events, I would have 2 deputies for ghetto control / events and 2 deputies to manage the turf team. This way the gang will be active in all aspects of the gang scenes. If the leader and deputies are actually active people will be more motivated to go to events to begin with. Bonuses should be given from time to time and people who show up and do good should be promoted so they feel valued and actually receive something for all their hard work. Right now the legal organizations have no challenge at all winning all the events because no gang is actually trying and competing with them, which is sad. You shouldn't be applying for leader if you aren't going to put hard work and effort into making sure your gang is active.
Another reason I want Ballas is because it is my home, I have been leader of Ballas in June and July last year and I think everyone who was already playing at the time knows me. I started from nothing and was on 16 hours a day leading the gang, making sure we were active in the ghetto, events and in turfs at all times. Ballas was where I spent most of my time and what I am most known for. I have been on the server for a year now and most of that time was spent in gangs: 2 months of me leading Ballas and other than that I have been deputy in other gangs. I know how to motivate people to actually be active. I am also very strict, if people break major rules I instantly kick them from the gang, smaller rulebreaks will result in strikes/demotions. If people see that the leader is harsh they will also refrain from breaking rules as much themselves, it's effective.
I feel like it's really hard for new players to get into gangs and learn about how everything works, this probably makes some people quit the server. A lot of the time high command just yells at people and tells them to go an event whilst the new people barely know what they are doing and are not being helped at all. In my gang I will to make sure that newer players will be helped and taught everything by the experienced players within the gang. Taking newer people with them and teaching them the ropes will also be a way for members to gain promotions and bonuses within the gang so they actually feel rewarded for doing this. Once the new players know the basics of how everything works they will be promoted.
3. Your advices for improving RolePlay level in organization.
Even though GrandRP is definitely not considered a hardcore roleplay server, I still think it's important to maintain a good level of roleplay within organizations. I think one of the main things that can be done to drastically improve the level of roleplay is making sure people don't mix. People should always play as their character which is a gang member, and when being robbed they should also be scared for their life like their character would be and comply. In my gang I will actually kick people who can't follow those simple rules just to make the ghetto a place with more roleplay.
Gang leaders should also interact with each other and organize meetings to discuss possible alliances and to make deals. This should be done ingame with the high command from both gangs instead of just messaging each other on Discord.
Next to the ingame events I also want to organize my own events with the gang that involve some roleplay. Instead of doing the default global events (arena tournament, fighting tournament, ...) everyone always does I want to be more creative and work together with the curators to come up with some vents that will provide unique and fun experiences for the players.
If you choose me I will make sure the ghetto will be alive again and that there will be a challenge for the other gangs and legal orgs.
