Chasing Donuts #2

Sat, 13 Jul 2024 18:00:00 +0000

Hello LSPD Officers 👮‍♂️ It's time to hunt some donut criminals!

Some stupid ass robbers have robbed a donut shop and have fled in the stolen civilian vehicles. All LSPD units are appointed to this high profile robbery and are sent to search the area. LSPD must catch the robbers. They must pull the robbers out of their vehicles, taze, and beat them to death with batons (nightsticks?), candy canes, or dildos (if you can find them).

Vehicles

Bring your personal upgraded police cruisers, or steal one if you’re poor.

Rules

1. No weapons allowed, except the above-mentioned (batons (nightsticks?), candy canes, or dildos (if you can find them)) by LSPD.

2. Robbers can fight back only with candy canes.

3. No running over robbers if they are on foot.

4. Robbers can only use 4 wheeled stolen NPC cars, SUVs, & jeeps.

How it works

1. Everyone gathers at a police station.

2. Robber gets 1 min head-start, in which they have to steal a car and run as far as they want to.

3. After 1 min is over, LSPD have to catch and beat the robbers.

4. Total time for a chase is 10 mins. If the robber survives for 10 minutes, they deserve the stolen donuts. All LSPD officers are fired and robber gets to beat one LSPD officer with candy cane (choose whomever you want :risitas: )

Optional - Create and outfit or outfits that say “I’m here to stick out and be an obvious visitor.” Dress for comfort, and feel free to overdo it.

Event Itinerary

1. Join on RomanBrandt84 . Park your vehicle in a spot at the Escalara Rent-a Car parking lot near LSIA, then meet up at the main entrance for the airport. We’ll go down to the subway and ride to the rental lot station to pick up our vehicles!

2. Once we’ve got our vehicles, we’ll be on our way. We’ll stop for food, gas, and see a few of the sights on our way around the map. Once we’re back in the city, we’ll steal some boats (or spawn your own) and go on a little trip into the sunset.

3. Be sure to check out the vehicles and outfits your fellow HALPers have created. We’ve got a lot of talent in this group, and I’m excited to see what everyone brings!

NOTE We’ll be driving highway speed, and trying to keep pace with traffic and obeying traffic rules. Feel free to practice on your own to get a feel for it, because most of us don’t usually drive this way in game. It takes some getting used to.

Rules

1. No weapons, no cops, no fire dept please.

2. Do not purposely damage another HALPer’s vehicle.

3. No PvP. Acidents happen, especially when driving, but try to keep it to a minimum.

4. No modding.

5. Be ready to have fun!

Los Santos Paranormal Investigators, Inc - Instance #2

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 18:00:00 +0000

There's some weird shit happening around this city, and we're going to investigate it. What's going on and why? Where do these things occur? What does it all mean? Let's find out in the second instance of this event!

Preps

Required: prep a vehicle. There’s no official list, but it must be a land vehicle, preferably not weaponized (if your vehicle has weapons, please don’t use them). Hearses, SUVs, Benny’s vehicles, Halloween vehicles, and Arena vehicles are encouraged but not required. Utilize paint colors, light kits, headlight colors, tire smoke etc. to make your vehicle fit for a night of scares and UFO abductions.

Required: prep a costume for the costume party. You can create whatever you want! All stores that sell clothing and masks are okay to use.

Optional: prep an outfit for investigating the ghastly activities of Los Santos.

Event Itinerary

1. Join on RomanBrandt84 . Meet at the Music Locker for a costume party! Take in the sights and see what everyone comes up with.

2. We’ll travel to Vinewood Cemetery before searching the map for UFOs and other scary stuff. Will we be abducted and meet the aliens? Or will be find out what’s happening in our city and fight back? That’s up to you, fellow HALPers. It’s kind of a choose-our-own-adventure sort of thing!

3. Either way, we’ll have a great time, because we’ll be there together. Stick around after the cruise to join Grace_Nam_KR for Slashers and some other Halloween themed adversaries to celebrate the spookiness of the season. It should be a great time!

4. A huge thank you to Grace_Nam_KR for collaborating with me for this event. I think between the two of us, there will absolutely be something for everyone this year!

NOTE We’ll be driving highway speed for the most part, and trying to keep pace with traffic and obeying traffic rules. Feel free to practice on your own to get a feel for it, because most of us don’t usually drive this way in game. It takes some getting used to.

Event Itinerary

1. We will host a meet in a Friends-Only session for vehicle inspection. Send Grace_Nam_KR a friend request if you would like to join. Once all vehicles are deemed to be fit for the track, the time trials will begin. To make it realistic, there will be only one team on the track at a time. This will be on a track built specifically for this event. The teams waiting for their turn are free to do anything they like in the meantime. You will know how much you have to wait for your turn.

2. Teams will have two attempts at the given track, they will be ranked based on their best times. Invites will be sent out individually to the teams. The driver will not be able to see the map, or the checkpoints. The navigator is able to see it all, but cannot drive. It is essential for you to choose someone as your teammate, who you can effectively communicate with. Voice comms are heavily recommended.

3. At the end, once all teams’ times are measured, another meet will occur where the winners will be announced.

Rules

1. Your vehicle must comply with the event’s requirements.

1.1 Your vehicle must be of a ‘rally’ theme. The recommended, approved, and banned vehicles are listed above. You can bring vehicles outside of the approved list, but they will require additional examination.

1.2 Off-road and motorcycles category is banned completely.

1.3 Super category is banned except the Sultan RS.

1.4 Your vehicle must not have off-road tires equipped. Any other type is accepted, but “sport” or “track” is preferred.

2. Limit your FPS to 60.

3. No restrictions for Track Rats. If one of the members of the team finishing first place is a non-Track Rat, they will get the role. If no non-Track Rat finishes as part of the first-place team, nobody gets the role.

DateAndTime:

24min of HALP (Track Rat Race)

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 18:00:00 +0000

We will take Sports Classics for a spin around ANGL Chaparral Waltz.

Turismo Classic	$705,000	LM	120.75 mph	1:04.599

Hope to see a sizeable group of HALPers at the race and I wish you good luck!

Event Itinerary

4. Everyone will be required to limit their FPS at 60.

5. Weapon usage is forbidden. Only exception is grenade to signal race start.

6. Intentionally crashing into other racers or disrupting the flow of the race will warrant a disqualification. (Accidents will happen, but try to minimize it.)

7. Try to only overtake racers when the risk of crashing is minimum, on the other hand if someone is clearly faster than you, let them pass.

8. Track Rats are handicapped, the person who finishes first becomes a Track Rat.

PS. If any have additional questions regarding the race don’t hesitate to ask in Discord or DM YG1231 .

Post-Christmas Clarity #2

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 20:00:00 +0000

Post-Christmas Clarity is a simple multi-minigame event, starring a Snow Rally Race in the (Stock) Omnis, a “SnowFRED” (Gfred) race, possibly RPGs vs Insurgents, and then a Snowball Fight at the end.

The event will be hosted twice during two occasions

We’ll start in a friends-only session that I’ll be hosting, followed by an invite to the playlists. If there are more than 8 people, we could start off with the RPGs vs Insurgents playlists. Otherwise, we’ll just do races and snowball fights.

The event is innately flexible as well; if we finish all activities early, we could skip the snowball fight and instead opt to repeat certain races or gamemodes… or suggest entirely new ones.

Happy HALPmas, again, and to all a great year!

Create an FIB outfit, change into an alien costume, or do something entirely different to dress as some other paranormal entity. Since the theme is X-Files, I’ll be going as Dana Scully on the girl character.

Optional: FIB Fleet Vehicle

Create a vehicle that you feel would be appropriate for any FIB mission. Weaponized vehicles are fine AS LONG AS YOU DON’T USE THE WEAPONS. Examples would be the new Granger, the Benefactor Shafter, etc. Anything that looks like an official government sedan/SUV/etc. will work, including free options stolen from the street.

Required: Funeral Vehicle

Create a Benny’s vehicle, a Halloween vehicle, or something that would be appropriate for a funeral (example: the Romero Hearse spawns for free when another player’s Romero is present).

EVENT ITINERARY

Join the Friends-Only Session on RomanBrandt84 at the time of the event.

1. Underground Costume Party At Rockford Plaza

Bring your best costumes and vehicles to the parking garage under Rockford Plaza! We’ll vote for the HALP Halloween royalty via an anonymous poll in Discord and the winners will be brought up onto the stage, similar to how we did the HALPers Ball royalty last year. Get ready to see some sweet rides and some spooky outfits!

2. X-files Themed Haunted Locations Tour

I had to cut the UFO hunt for obvious reasons, but the theme lives on in this tour of a few of San Andreas’s most haunted locations! Dress as an FIB agent, an alien, or any paranormal entity and be ready to have a great time with your fellow HALPers.

3. Benny’s Funeral

This will be a shortened version of the Benny’s Funeral from a few years back, only going from the cemetery to the pier. We’ll pay tribute to our friend Benny, the man who brought us so many awesome custom cars over the years. The funeral procession will end with the hearse being flown out to the ocean and dropped into the water. RIP.

Rules

1. Be respectful of others.

2. No PvP. Accidents happen, but there should be no intentional blowing up/shooting of other players or their property.

3. No modding/glitching please.

4. Come prepared to take in the sights and see what your fellow HALPers come up with!

Hot Spot Nightclub Tours

Sat, 24 Sep 2022 14:30:00 +0000

Get your nightclub clothes ready. We will walk and drive together through each member's nightclub to increase the number of 'unique players' up to the maximum of 100 for the platinum award. The more people that join, the more nightclubs we will get to visit.

Preps

Necessary: Get a car that you are comfortable driving. Anything you like as long as you can keep up on the highways.

Optional: Get into your clubbing clothes.

Event Itinerary

2. We will meet at the Music Locker. Once everyone has arrived, we will take our cars to each nightclub in the order on this list. If nobody in-session has a nightclub at a given location, we will skip it and move on to the next location.

3. We will drive to each club, park our cars, walk to the entry, and then walk through each front to back. If more than one person has the same nightclub, we will walk through each one in the order that they appear on the list.

Rules

1. Take it easy as we traverse the roads.

2. We will go faster than traffic, but still safely between NC locations, so if you are in a faster car, have caution for people who are driving slower vehicles. No bumper cars.

3. No PvP. This is a co-operative adventure, not a murdering opportunity.

Every day here means a hundred new criminals but only half these assholes will survive a year, and that’s it if it’s a good one, and why do these peeps come to LS? Well to be cargo griefers like IIlllIlIllIIlII and xX_puZZayDeStRoYeR_Xx.

Tonight, in Los Santos, the useless management of the crime city invites you to gather at the graveyard of the jets of previous era… The Sandy Shores Airfield!! All the criminals are requested to bring as many vehicles as they can, after all what’s the best way to compensate other than this.

Being gracious as they are, the management has also provided a list of vehicles that can be called at the same time. You can take a look there unless you are a fresh criminal, then you will probably not survive the crime city until the event.

Vehicle List

2. Agent 14 vehicle – call Agent 14

3. Ms Baker vehicle – call Ms Baker

4. Pegasus vehicle – call Pegasus

5. Franklin vehicle – call Franklin

Sat, 20 Aug 2022 18:00:00 +0000

Declasse Draugruru is a new off-roader in GTA: Online. Testing shows that it can achieve what none have ever achieved. It can climb seas, swim in mountains, fly off-road, and run on train tracks while beating trains in a drag race.

We ought to test these “features” of the off-roader by having a car meet. Yes! you heard me right. A car meet on an island. So use your Dragruru’s sea climbing skills and gather at the shack island where Mr. Schwartzman was having summer vacations in Pacific Standard setup. If car lottery have failed you and your car is unable to climb water, you can also use Cargobob for dropping off your Darugururu at the said island.. gg ez 1-0 get rekt

After car-meet, we will go for off-roading in some most populated areas of the map. Stay tuned!

Plan:

1. Car meet at Mr. Schwartzman’s summer vacation shack.

2. Climbing some weird pile of rocks, south and east of an airfield which is located in middle of nowhere.

Halp-Lympics Testing #2

Sat, 13 Aug 2022 18:30:00 +0000

Testing Phase 2: Post Op Van Push, “Randomized” Buggy Race, and MC Club Transform Race. Repeated for 2 events, to grab as many participants as possible. Please partner up with another player in a duo prior to the event.

Preps:

Brightly colored uniforms for visibility and immersion are recommended, as this is essentially a makeshift lab rat experiment professional stress test. Races will not be in GTA mode, however, so players will rarely, if at all, be seen outside of their vehicles.

A push-capable “Van” class vehicle, for pushing boxvilles if you want to be a pusher. You will need to find a partner to be pushed by for this race, if you wish to not buy a van, and operate a Boxville.

Customized Dune Buggy (Not the Dune FAV, Space, or Wedge) is strongly recommended, as that will be the primary racing vehicle for one event.

Your favorite, street-capable Supercar is also recommended, as one race will feature a sprint to an MC Clubhouse.

Another recommended piece of equipment is a notepad to write notes on, whether it be physical or digital, for feedback to forward to TrueNinjafrog , to improve for the final event. This is a test run, after all.

Event Itinerary

Join on TrueNinjafrog ’s Friends-Only Session at the time of the event. Wait until TrueNinjafrog starts up the first of 2 races in a playlist.

Phase 1: Boxville Van Push

Contact race, where teams of 2 compete to get their Boxville across a finish line first. Whoever gets their Boxville across the finish line first, wins, followed by the next boxville. Pushers do not count in the final score/leaderboard, but are supposed to push their boxville to victory. Vans only, for balancing reasons and due to race limitations.

Phase 2: “Randomized” Dune Buggy Race

Contact race, where players in their customized Dune Buggies race to random points scattered around Los Santos, to simulate a “blind” run of a Gunrunning sale. These points will not have any real reason or placement, other than that they cannot be on anything but ground floor, and not in buildings. Try not to get stuck, as you won’t have an Atomizer.

This may be replaced with a proper mapping of actual sale locations, but this current style may be fun for a chaotic, randomized event to truly test a GTA player’s ability to navigate on the go.

Phase 3: MC Sale Marathon

A transform race, involving a race to the MC Clubhouse, to start a series of races and routes through Los Santos, in many iconic vehicles used in MC Clubhouse sale missions.

The order is as follows:

Supercar > Dodo > Buzzard > Dinghy > Bagger > Ratloader > Finish

Phase 4: Live Event “End” and Development of Phase 1 and 3.

The event will effectively “end” for the main in-game activities, however users should create and share notes, concerns, ideas, etc. regarding the races to TrueNinjafrog via Discord DMs. This is for improvements to be made on the track’s layout, style, etc. for the Boxville race and MC Sale Marathon. This can include: Prop removal Addition of hidden speed boosts Ramps to make certain jumps and paths less random Barriers Signs Etc. Where the aforementioned brightly colored uniforms come to play, are for helping in creating screenshots and visual markers to where potential changes could be made. A visual indicator of where exactly a change may be added would be incredibly useful.

Prizes

A strange video of a cat emerging from a place it shouldn’t be. Not NSFW, just peculiar.

Date And Time: 16:00-16:55, 18:00-18:55, and 20:00-20:55 GMT.

Preps:

None required for the event. However, brightly colored uniforms for visibility and immersion are recommended, as this is essentially a makeshift lab rat experiment professional stress test. Races will not be in GTA mode, however, so players will rarely, if at all, be seen outside of their vehicles.

No purchase is necessary for the event, as stock Boxvilles (sadly, no Post-Op vans, just Los Santos Department of Water & Power ones, because of budget constraints) will be provided.

Event Itinerary

Join on TrueNinjafrog ’s Friends-Only Session at the time of the event. Meet up at Humanes Lab and Research’s parking lot. The session will be opened 15 minutes prior to the start of each event, and then actual races will start 10 minutes after.

Phase 1: Familiarity Run (approx. 10-15 minutes)

All players will be invited to a testing race hosted by TrueNinjafrog . This is a non-contact, no traffic, daytime, clear skies, clean slate race. Boxvilles only. This first run will familiarize participants with the race.

Phase 2: Stress-Testing Run (approx 15-20 minutes)

The race will be repeated, but with contact, traffic, and “current” time and weather. Again, boxvilles only. Physical contact and roughhousing will not be discouraged. This version of the race should be noted mentally by the participants, for any glaring issues or interesting aspects to be developed further.

Phase 3: Live Event “End” and Active Development

Prop removal
Addition of hidden speed boosts
Ramps to make certain jumps and paths less random
Barriers
Signs
Etc.

TrueNinjafrog will stay in-game, though now in the level editor, to make some changes based on user feedback, before the start of the next event. He cannot join your session to look at an angle or point, but he can check DMs for images and map markers to see where a change can take place.

Phase 4(?): Repeat.

After receiving feedback and making some changes in the 45ish minute or so break between races, TrueNinjafrog will initiate the event, again, with the new changes made. Then, the cycle will repeat, and end on the 3rd instance at 20:55.

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 17:00:00 +0000

Join Friends-Only Session on DintNL and wait for the playlist invite.

About

Once the round starts, a part of the large platform will become the "safe zone", and all players have 30 seconds to get inside it and stay there, as any vehicle that is outside of this zone once the timer ends gets destroyed.

After the time ends, a new area of the map will be declared the safe zone, and the process repeats. Every safe zone circle is smaller than the last, shrinking down to the size of only approximately two vehicles. The entire round is four minutes.

If players on different teams are still alive once the 4-minute timer runs out, a sudden-death circle will appear. This circle will get smaller and smaller until only one team remains alive.

Handbrakes are disabled for this Adversary Mode. Round ends once all players from the opposing team are Knocked Out.

Parts of the large platform may also disappear at random, giving an additional challenge to the game mode.

Speed Around Weed #5 (Multi-Class Race)

Sun, 05 Jun 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Welcome to HALP's Multi-Class Racing #2. The race is divided in 2 classes: GT1 and GT2. GT1 class cars are generally a bit faster pace-wise compared to GT2. You can team up with another HALPer to form a pair/racing team so each one of you is in a different class. You can declare custom Team Title and Team Colours/Liveries before the event. If you don't have a teammate, you'll be assigned one from the other class. In the end there will be 3 standings, one for GT1 Class, one for GT2 class and finally one for the Teams/Pairs which will be the sum of the points of the 2 HALPers in each class. You are racing the cars in your class and your final points depend only on your in-class finishing position, not overall position.

For registering a team pair/custom colours/liveries etc you can DM YG1231 or post it in the halp-events channel.

Preparation:

Required: Buy yourself a car from the following list. If you are a GT1 driver, you only have one car to choose from. If you are a GT2 driver, you have free choice between cars, as they are equal pace.

Class	Car	Price
GT1	Dewabauchee Vagner	$1,535,000
GT2	Pegassi Zorrusso	$1,925,000
GT2	Grotti Visione	$2,250,000
GT2	Pegassi Osiris	$1,950,000

Optional, but recommended: Go and try the track before the event begins. Best is to try all four cars to find the one you do best with.

Event Itinerary

1. Join Friends-Only Session on YG1231 15 minutes before the start time, then wait for the job invite. If not friends already, send a SC friend request.

2. Meet behind the weed factory in Sandy Shores, for a car inspection.

3. We head into the race, called Blaine County 24h by Broughy1322-5.

4. The first two laps will be a Non-Contact Qualifying Session, to determine the starting position of the participants and get familiar with the track.

5. Start procedure will be a Classic Le Mans start, which mean all racers will line up their cars in parallel at the start-finish straight according to the qualifying order and then take their place on foot on the other side of the track across their car. When grenade thrown by Safety Car driver detonates everyone starts running towards their car, gets in and the race starts.

6. Race is in GTA mode 9 laps long.

Rules

0. Standard Racing Rules-Guidelines apply, which means no contact with other racers as much as possible, but since accidents can happen, if you cause a crash for someone, then you need to wait till this racer recovers/rejoins the track and overtakes you. Then you can keep going with your own race. Intentionally crashing into other racers or disrupting the flow of the race will warrant a disqualification.

Lapped Cars: Standard multi-class racing rules apply - cars being lapped do not have to move out of the way for faster cars coming through, but should also not actively defend their position and try to slow down faster cars.

0.1 Having 2 Track Rats in the same team is possible, but for a more level playing field they will get a 25% reduction in their team points as a penalty.

1. Everyone will be required to limit their FPS at 60. At the end of the event the host will ask for a screenshot from the 1st player, when they pass the finish line. (Where the FPS counter is clearly visible.) Failing to present the screenshot means that their performance in the race will be disregarded and the 2nd player will be asked show their screenshot.

2. Weapon usage is forbidden.

3. Brakeboosting is not allowed, kerboosting is allowed but not swerving over kerbs on the straights.

4. Intentionally crashing into other racers or disrupting the flow of the race will warrant a disqualification. (Accidents will happen, but try to minimize it.)

5. Try to only overtake racers when the risk of crashing is minimum, on the other hand if someone is clearly faster than you, let them pass.

6. Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the racing with your fellow HALPers!

Our vacation package also includes a stay at the Diamond Casino and Resort, and access to the Music Locker! This is the second of two instances, each approximately 2.5 hours long. You are welcome to participate in both! Instances may run a bit longer depending on the crowd.

Preps

1. Necessary: Steal or purchase a drop top/cabrio/no top vehicle. There are very few limitations this time. Avoid weaponized and/or military vehicles. If the weapons are hidden, that’s fine as long as they’re not used. Most drop top/cabrio/no top/open top vehicles are fine. Some vehicles have options at LSC to remove the roof or add an open top.

2. Necessary: Create a beach outfit. This can be a swimsuit, shirt and shorts, tank tops, or any combination of summertime clothing items. Hats, accessories, and shoes are optional, but feel free get creative! Flip flops and sunglasses will fit the vibe, but the options are open.

3. Optional: Prep multiple drop top vehicles and outfits. There’s no limit on how many times you can change vehicles or outfits. If you’ve got a few prepped, feel free to show them off. There will be a car meet at the end, so multiple vehicles may come in handy!

Event Itinerary

1. Join the Friends-Only Session on RomanBrandt84 and head to LSIA. We’ll meet up at the Escalera rental car lot on Greenwich Parkway (between the airport LSC location and the LSIA Von Crastenburg Hotel) and wait for everyone to join. We’ll give it about 15 minutes. After that, people arriving will join us during the cruise. If it’s night once things get started, we’ll head to the Diamond Casino and Resort for a party at the Music Locker. Otherwise, we’ll just start the tour!

2. We’ll drive to Backlot city and park inside the gates so we can explore the complex on foot. There’s a lot more to it than we usually see during missions!

3. We’ll go on a driving tour of the homes of some famous Los Santos residents, both celebrities and stars of missions, and get food and gas at some point. Be prepared for a couple longer stretches of driving to reach some of the destinations.

4. We’ll see a couple of the landmarks of Vinewood and surrounding areas, and then go see a movie together at the Oriental Theater on Vinewood Boulevard and check out the walk of fame.

5. We’ll settle into our accommodations at the Diamond Casino and Resort and have a car meet.

6. In the morning, we’ll head to Vespucci Beach to catch some sun, and then head back to LSIA to catch our flight out of town (If someone wants to provide a flight out, feel free to do so.)

NOTE: The order of these events may vary slightly.

Rules

1. Be respectful of others. Avoid damaging the vehicles of others, PvP, etc. Accidents are unavoidable with this kind of event, but use caution to try to prevent it.

2. This is a role-play slow cruise. We’ll be driving at NPC speed, with traffic, obeying stop lights where possible. When we’re on foot exploring, we’ll be doing a bit of walking. We may also be staying at some famous Los Santos hotels at night!

RPGs vs Insurgents Marathon

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 19:00:00 +0000

A marathon stocked full of RPGs, and Insurgents… with Planes, Trains, Supersoldiers, and Snipers? We’ll be slamming expensive armored vehicles with barely-legal rocket launchers, basically. But, some maps may offer… unique twists on gameplay.

This event will not include typical, plain RPG vs Insurgent maps, instead opting for 4 quirky and unique experiences. Expect each map to last around 25-45 minutes.

Event Itinerary

Join on TrueNinjafrog ’s Friends-Only Session at the time of the event (or earlier, if you’d like!), meet up at the Casino parking lot, and 15 minutes after the start time the event activities will commence, in a Playlist. The standard RPG vs. Insurgents map will not be played, this time around.

RPG vs INSURGENT (v2.8)

Probably the most vanilla experience of the 4 maps we will be touring, this RPG vs Insurgents map has been played before with other HALPers, taking place on Vineyard Boulevard.

RPG and Insurgents will still have their typical Rocket Launchers and Insurgents. This map has tight areas of combat and movement, so Insurgents and RPGs beware!

RPG VS INSURGENT VS TRAIN

A map featuring a “third team”, this RPG vs Insurgents map features a NPC-Driven Train for both RPG and Insurgents to be wary of, passing through the RPGs’ platform. GFred fanatics will recognize the local scenery.

This map features a Homing Launcher as part of the RPGs’ arsenal. This allows for less skilled players to more easily hit direct, albeit weaker, shots. Or, for more skilled players, to attempt a weapon-swap to fire 2 rockets faster. The standard Rocket Launcher is still available.

RPG Beasts vs Planes

A level with more unique player dynamics, this map features a super-powered “Beast” RPGs, creating a new challenge for Insurgent, er, Plane players to try to take down. This map takes place above the familiar streets of Los Santos.

RPGs will be armed with Rocket Launchers, Sticky Bombs, and Heavy Sniper rifles. To super-jump, aim (down sights) and jump.

This map features the feared, but Weapons-Disabled B-11 Strikeforce for the Insurgents. Highly skilled pilots and fearless kamikazes are at an advantage, diving at the RPGs from the skies or below.

RPG VS Insurgent (Circle)

Another more vanilla experience of the 4 maps we will be touring, this RPG vs Insurgents map features 4 different ramps for Insurgents to utilize. Located within a big colorful box, this map definitely embodies GTAO’s sandbox nature.

RPGs will be armed with Rocket Launchers, Homing Launchers, and Sniper Rifles.

To balance the ability for RPGs to snipe enemy Insurgents, the Insurgents have 4 lives instead of the typical 1, alongside the aforementioned 4 angles of attack versus 2.

Rules

RPGs vs Insurgents is a Last Team Standing gamemode, where players try to completely eliminate the enemy team: the “RPGs” vs “Insurgents”

RPGs have Rocket Launchers, to try to kill Insurgents. They are stranded on a single platform, to fend off Insurgents and try to survive.

**The Insurgents will attempt to kill RPGs by whatever means possible.** This means that Insurgents may attempt to use Rocket Launchers against RPGs, or the typical unique vehicles available to the map (often, Insurgents).

Necessary: Prep a vintage outfit! Valentine’s Day clothing was recently available in the stores, and if you’ve bought it before, it should still be unlocked. Otherwise, feel free to experiment and come up with something that looks like you might be heading to a speakeasy. Get creative and show off your vintage style!

Optional: Prep a Gusenberg Sweeper to use for visual effect. Not necessary, but will add a bit of authenticity. Otherwise, all weapons are allowed except for the alien guns.

4. Afterward, we’ll assemble at the Colors of Los Santos parking lot overlooking the city for the Lover’s Lane Car Meet to celebrate! Vintage cars before 1955 preferred.

Rules

1. Be respectful of others.

HALPer's Squid Game #3

Sat, 12 Feb 2022 19:00:00 +0000

All players will participate in a series of minigames inspired by the popular Netflix show: Squid Game. Participants will be taken to each game in a Festival Bus, and they will go through various minigames until just 1 player is declared the winner. There is a prize for winning, as described in the 'Prizes' section on the event page.

Preps:

Required: A Heist Coverall outfit, not including anything in Red, or with a gasmask.

Required: Showing up on time. Late participants can still participate in the event, albeit as a spectator and a voter for the “Draw-Goner” Drawing Game only.

Optional, but highly recommended: Joining voice chat.

Event Itinerary

1. Join on TrueNinjafrog Friends-Only Session at the time of the event (or earlier, if you’d like!), meet up at the Casino parking lot, and 15 minutes after the start time the event activities will commence.

Red Light, Green Light

A simple, but deadly game of Red Light, Green Light. Losers will be eliminated.

1. Participants will be taken to the far end of Sandy Shores Airfield, and then will be instructed to wait with everyone along the starting line.

2. When TrueNinjafrog detonates a sticky bomb, everyone should start running forward towards the other end of the runway.

3. When TrueNinjafrog detonates a second sticky bomb, participants must quickly stop.

4. If any participants are spotted moving after the second sticky bomb goes off, they will be killed.

5. The process repeats until all remaining participants reach the finish line at the end of the airfield.

6. Eliminated participants will be asked to watch remaining participants from a safe distance.

Draw-Goner Drawing Game (NOTE: Not in-game)

Were it not obvious, a similar game to the “Dalgona Candy Drawing Game” in Squid Game, in which players compete by drawing a prompt. “Goners”, or losers, will be eliminated.

1. Remaining living participants will line up at the end of the airfield. All spectating participants and those who died during Red Light, Green Light must watch from a distance.

2. Each living participant will race to select one of the 10 drawing prompts provided by TrueNinjafrog , based on GTA items. If there are more than 10 participants, they will get to choose from the same 10 prompts.

3. After everyone has selected their prompt, HALPers will be given a “GO” signal to draw their prompt on whichever medium they prefer (A sticky note, scratch paper, Microsoft paint, GIMP, Krita, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)

4. Each participant will have 5 minutes to draw their prompt starting after everyone has selected their prompt. Like other time-based events (clothing/fashion events, notably) participants will be reminded in-chat when the time will expire. Participants are highly encouraged to stream their drawing attempt in voice chat if possible.

5. Participants must upload their own drawings in the halp-events channel, and label it as the prompt they were given, before the 5 minute timer expires. A 30 second upload period after the timer’s end will be provided.

6. All spectators and players (living or dead) will REACT to the uploaded images with :oneplus: or :oneminus: in the #halp-events channel, based on how well you can tell what an object is supposed to be (ex. someone may draw the loadout icon for a gun instead of the actual gun itself). Scores are a system of +1 and -1, and you can vote for your own images. Non-participants may vote in Discord if they are around for the event.

7. After the cumulative scores are calculated, the top 50% will be allowed to proceed to the final game. The others will be executed.

RPGs vs Insurgents

Marbles is a fun game. But in GTA, it does not exist. So, instead of hitting marbles, we’re hitting expensive armored vehicles with barely-legal rocket launchers. Losers will be marked, but not yet eliminated.

1. All “living” participants will be invited to a session of RPG vs Insurgents, a gamemode involving RPGs and Insurgents. TrueNinjafrog will join as well as a host, and stream gameplay in voice chat. He will play if the teams are uneven otherwise.

2. Those on the “RPG” team will equip themselves with rocket launchers, to fend off the “Insurgent” team, who will attempt to knock RPG players off of their platform with their Insurgent vehicles.

3. Teams will swap once all “RPG” or “Insurgent” players are eliminated, for a total of 4 rounds.

4. Due to the nature of this game being in a Playlist, participants will NOT be eliminated by this challenge. Losers will be noted by TrueNinjafrog, with a point, listed in #halp-events.

Sumo Remix

Tug-of-War is not a vanilla gamemode in GTAO, needing mods to be possible. So, we will instead be wrestling strength and power through Sumo Remix.

1. From the playlist including RPGs vs Insurgents, players will be pitted against each other in 2 random teams, where they will be playing Sumo Remix.

2. Drive your vehicle to prevent other players from staying within a designated and marked safe zone, before the timer goes off. Players will be eliminated if not in the safe zones.

3. This will continue for 4 rounds total.

4. At the conclusion of this minigame, TNf will establish a new Friends-Only session, so all remaining players can be ready for the final game. All losers, again, will be updated and marked with a point, possibly resulting in some players having 2 points.

5. All players with zero points can proceed to the final game. If there is no or only 1 person compatible for this criteria, all other players with only 1 point can proceed to the final FIB game.

FIB Game

Pronounced “fib” game, this is a parody of the final “Squid Game” of “Squid Game”.

1. All remaining participants will be flown to the top of the FIB building through the usage of a stolen helicopter, or Frogger. Once again, all other spectators are only there to watch in their own flying vehicles, or watch from the surrounding platforms.

2. The last participants will fistfight to the death, restricted only to the skylight area of the rooftop. However, somehow ragdolling or moving off the skylight will result in immediate elimination. By bullet(s).

3. Last person remaining wins the HALPer’s Squid Game.

Prizes (Choose One)

1. 85% cut of a Cayo Perico Heist (1 - 1.7 million, basically $20 in sharkcards lol)

2. A high quality NFT “pixel art” of your avatar of choice, sufficient to receive the Pixel Gang role.

3. A shittily edited jpeg of a trophy, with your name on it, commemorating your victory of HALPer’s Squid Game.

All spectators and players (living or dead) will REACT to the uploaded images with :oneplus: or :oneminus: in the #halp-events channel, based on how well you can tell what an object is supposed to be (ex. someone may draw the loadout icon for a gun instead of the actual gun itself). Scores are a system of +1 and -1, and you can vote for your own images. Non-participants may vote in Discord if they are around for the event.

7. After the cumulative scores are calculated, the top 50% will be allowed to proceed to the final game. The others will be executed.

RPGs vs Insurgents

Marbles is a fun game. But in GTA, it does not exist. So, instead of hitting marbles, we’re hitting expensive armored vehicles with barely-legal rocket launchers. Losers will be marked, but not yet eliminated.

1. All “living” participants will be invited to a session of RPG vs Insurgents, a gamemode involving RPGs and Insurgents. TrueNinjafrog will join as well as a host, and stream gameplay in voice chat. He will play if the teams are uneven otherwise.

2. Those on the “RPG” team will equip themselves with rocket launchers, to fend off the “Insurgent” team, who will attempt to knock RPG players off of their platform with their Insurgent vehicles.

3. Teams will swap once all “RPG” or “Insurgent” players are eliminated, for a total of 4 rounds.

4. Due to the nature of this game being in a Playlist, participants will NOT be eliminated by this challenge. Losers will be noted by TrueNinjafrog, with a point, listed in #halp-events.

Sumo Remix

Tug-of-War is not a vanilla gamemode in GTAO, needing mods to be possible. So, we will instead be wrestling strength and power through Sumo Remix.

1. From the playlist including RPGs vs Insurgents, players will be pitted against each other in 2 random teams, where they will be playing Sumo Remix.

2. Drive your vehicle to prevent other players from staying within a designated and marked safe zone, before the timer goes off. Players will be eliminated if not in the safe zones.

3. This will continue for 4 rounds total.

4. At the conclusion of this minigame, TNf will establish a new Friends-Only session, so all remaining players can be ready for the final game. All losers, again, will be updated and marked with a point, possibly resulting in some players having 2 points.

5. All players with zero points can proceed to the final game. If there is no or only 1 person compatible for this criteria, all other players with only 1 point can proceed to the final FIB game.

FIB Game

Pronounced “fib” game, this is a parody of the final “Squid Game” of “Squid Game”.

1. All remaining participants will be flown to the top of the FIB building through the usage of a stolen helicopter, or Frogger. Once again, all other spectators are only there to watch in their own flying vehicles, or watch from the surrounding platforms.

2. The last participants will fistfight to the death, restricted only to the skylight area of the rooftop. However, somehow ragdolling or moving off the skylight will result in immediate elimination. By bullet(s).

3. Last person remaining wins the HALPer’s Squid Game.

Prizes (Choose One)

1. 85% cut of a Cayo Perico Heist (1 - 1.7 million, basically $20 in sharkcards lol)

2. A high quality NFT “pixel art” of your avatar of choice, sufficient to receive the Pixel Gang role.

3. A shittily edited jpeg of a trophy, with your name on it, commemorating your victory of HALPer’s Squid Game.

Precision Helicopter Rappelling Challenge and Sparrow Showcase

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Steady yourselves and prepare for the Precision Helicopter Rappelling Challenge and Sparrow Showcase! In theory, it's simple. Hover over the target and have the passenger lower down the rope from an Annihilator Stealth ($3,870,000/$2,902,500), Annihilator ($1,825,000) or Maverick ($780,000) helicopter. If you miss, however, your passenger will glibly descend down into the cold water, destined to swim back to the shoreline stairs to be collected from behind the gate for another attempt. Don't have one of those expensive helicopters? No problem! Participate as a passenger, whose mission it is to actually hold the button to lower the rope, and whom gets the glory of standing upon the pedestal. Ultimately, it is the passenger who is in control of the precise location of the landing!

Additionally, on the side of the Precision Helicopter Rappelling Challenge, we will show off our Sparrows, because pretty much everyone should have one of those (and if you don’t, you should.)

Preps

1. Optional: Purcase a Helicopter from the following list. It is recommended to modify it in your hangar to truly make it unique. You can then call your personal one, and deliver the Pegasus one for another HALPer to use, and as cold spare in case of any “accidents”.

Heli	Price	Site
Annihilator Stealth	$3,870,000/$2,902,500	Warstock C&C
Annihilator	$1,825,000	Elitás Travel
Maverick	$780,000	Elitás Travel

2. Optional: Prepare a suitable swimming outfit, a scuba outfit, and pilot outfit.

Event Itinerary

1. Join on gritz_ at the time of the event.

Depending on turnout, we may organize into different sized groups and play a variety of different modes:

Precision Race, where up to 10 teams of 2 (1 pilot and 1 passenger) compete head-to-head to see who can place their passengers on the poles the quickest.

Team Battle, where we split into evenly sized teams, (1 pilot and 2-5 passengers) where the goal is to place all of the passengers on their poles in order. Each team only has 1 heli and may only carry one passenger at a time. While one passenger is swimming back, the heli may return to behind the gate to grab a different passenger from the team.

Highest Number, In this mode, each of the pilots are designated their own pole, on which they must pack as many passengers as possible. All of the passengers are available for pickup from one big pool behind the fence.

… and more …

Rules

1. No weapons, no cops, no fire dept. Having your Avenger on standby so that you can clear your cops if you need to, by getting into the back cavity is a wise idea.

2. No PvP. Accidents happen, especially with fast spinning blades, tight spaces, people rappelling and crowded airspace, but please try not to cause a mass casualty event.

3. Do not purposely damage another HALPer’s helicopter.

4. Try to park neatly.

8. Try to only overtake racers when the risk of crashing is minimum, on the other hand if someone is clearly faster than you, let them pass.

Stand in line to be scanned and thoroughly judged by the terrorbyte player scanners, no cookies or milk is gonna save you because all sinners will be TAZED, which is supposed to be unpleasant, but it’s 2022 and as with everything, it’s a kink.

3. OUR LORD WHO ARTS IN PALETO BAY:

Rules

1. Everyone will be required to limit their FPS at 60. At the end of the event the host will ask for a screenshot from the 1st player, when they pass the finish line.

3. Weapon usage is forbidden.

4. Boosting is allowed. (Brake and Curb boosting, etc)

7. While we realize that the Track Rat role is sought after by many players and things get heated, don’t forget to have fun.

HALP Multi-Class Race

Sat, 18 Dec 2021 15:00:00 +0000

Welcome to HALP's Multi-Class Racing. The race is divided in 2 classes: GT1 and GT2. GT1 class cars are generally a bit faster pace-wise compared to GT2. You can team up with another HALPer to form a pair/racing team so each one of you is in a different class. You can declare custom Team Title and Team Colours/Liveries before the event. If you don't have a teammate, you'll be assigned one from the other class. In the end there will be 3 standings, one for GT1 Class, one for GT2 class and finally one for the Teams/Pairs which will be the sum of the points of the 2 HALPers in each class. You are racing the cars in your class and your final points depend only on your in-class finishing position, not overall position. If the format is successful it might even turn out in a HALP Multi-Class Championship in the long run.

Track: RON’s Hydroplant 2 by CARBONUNI

Preparations

1. Buy yourself a car from the following list. If you are a GT1 driver, you only have one car to choose from. If you are a GT2 driver, you have free choice between either car, as they are equal pace.

Class	Car	Price
GT1 Class	Ocelot Pariah	$1,420,000

GT2 Class	Benefactor Schlagen GT	$1,300,000
GT2 Class	Dewbauchee Seven-70	$695,000

2. Register as a team pair and coordinate your car colours/liveries and outfit with your teammate.

For registering a team pair, or to declare a custom Team Title/Team Colours/Team Liveries/etc, you can DM @Wild_Charizard or post it in the #halp-events channel. If you don’t have a teammate, you’ll be assigned one from the other class.

Event Itinerary

1. Join the Friends-Only session on Wild_Charizard . The session will be created 15 minutes before the start of the event.

2. Meet at the Diamond Casino parking lot, for a car inspection. Bring the car which you would like to use in the race.

3. We head into the race.

4. The first two laps will be a Non-Contact Qualifying Session, to determine the starting position of the participants and get familiar with the track.

5. Start procedure will be a Classic Le Mans start, which mean all racers will line up their cars in parallel at the start-finish straight according to the qualifying order and then take their place on foot on the other side of the track across their car. When the grenade detonates everyone starts running towards their car, gets in and the race starts.

6. Any kind of weapon usage besides that is forbidden.

Rules

1. Standard Racing Rules-Guidelines apply, which means no contact with other racers as much as possible, but since accidents can happen, if you cause a crash for someone, then you need to wait till this racer recovers/rejoins the track and overtakes you. Then you can keep going with your own race. Intentionally crashing into other racers or disrupting the flow of the race will warrant a disqualification.

2. Everyone will be required to limit their FPS at 60. At the end of the event the host will ask for a screenshot from the 1st player, when they pass the finish line. (Where the FPS counter is clearly visible.) Failing to present the screenshot means that their performance in the race will be disregarded and the 2nd player will be asked show their screenshot.

3. Brakeboosting is not allowed, kerbboosting is allowed but not swerving over kerbs on the straights.

4. Lapped Cars: Standard multi-class racing rules apply - cars being lapped do not have to move out of the way for faster cars coming through, but should also not actively defend their position and try to slow down faster cars.

5. Track Rats: Having 2 track rats in the same team is possible, but for a more level playing field they will get a 25% reduction in their team points as a penalty.

6. Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the racing with your fellow HALPers!

Bottom Gear: Go Karts - Vroom Vroom

Sat, 06 Nov 2021 17:00:00 +0000

This weeks shenanigans revolve around the vehicles that broke more friendships than anything, the Veto Go Karts. We will go through a series of silly challenges where every one has a wheelie good time. You can chose either a Classic or a Modern Kart, depending on your butt size and budget.

Challenges

First game: The Parallel Flick

Halpers will take turns trying to park their karts in the space between two cars by speeding and then flicking the car 180 degrees to a full stoppage in the parking space, hitting other cars or missing the space eliminates you, and each round the space gets tighter and tighter until there is 1 undisputed king or queen of parking.

Second game: Pier Pressure

Halpers have proven to be efficient and reliable when it comes to rebelling against power figures and working towards a mutual objective, as well as giving me a hard time just for hosting an event, so this time I’ll be trying to survive a horde of tiny Karts armed with any weapon they desire. If I make it from Vespucci Pier to Paleto Pier in an MOC Cab, Halpers lose.

Note: You are allowed to use any weapon to bring the target to a stop or destroy his MOC Cab, except shooting me directly through the glass.

Third game: How Original

A good ol fashioned race from Paleto Pier back to Vespucci Pier, and we finish the event by riding the rollercoaster (winner of race gets dibs on first kart ofc)

Rules

1. Event will take place in a Friends-only Session, so send BlazeRoman a friend request to join, you are free to remove him afterwards, that’s alright.

2. Only PvP in the second challenge, and only fire on the intended target, BlazeRoman.

Reward

I will not be a cyber bully on Discord for a month, though best I can likely do is a week.

DateAndTime:

Bottom Gear: Muscle Mania

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to Bottom Gear mates, we received some complaints from angry Americans that our event lacks 'glorious automobile representation'. This time, we will be showing off our muscles to please daddy Red and all other Americanized asians, and to ensure no one ends up at the bottom of a river with brick shoes.

Get in ANY muscle car and meet at the most muscular place on the map, the top of Mount Chiliad (you can TP there lexi >_>)

2. ‘Macho e macho’: it doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile as we’re not drag racing here, meet at SS airfield where each two participants will face each other in a push contest.

3. ‘Okay. Fine’: can’t really have a muscle car themed gathering without drag racing (note: the car race, not rupaul’s thingy)

Rules

1. Absolutely no PVP or i’m telling daddy Plasma and you do not want to be taken to his naughty halpers basement.

2. Any muscle car will do, off the street, off your collection, all are fine. (except arena cars)

ULTRA FIGHT: Heat seeking missiles? Explosive machine guns? Speed of sound? when did we need all of these added luxuries to have some good ol'fashioned violence? Strap a 600 pounder's G-string to some sticks with the engine and chair from a lawnmower and a machine gun then meet me up there.

Event Itinerary

1. Join the Friends-Only Session on BlazeRoman at the time of the event.

2. Prepare your Ultralight and meet up at Zancudo airfield for some aerial pew-pew action.

Rules

1. PvP is allowed only within Zancudo’s airfield space and using the Ultralight only.

2. No attacking people on the ground whether they respawned or still didn’t take off.

3. If you are on the ground you are not allowed to attack others, whether they are flying or not.

Reward

I will listen to your sad life stories and then tell you it’s all going to be alright and that I am proud of you as a father.

Mirror Park Clubbing

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Join YG1231 in a competitive, potentially Track Rat earning race around Mirror Park in the BF Club (SSSA). No handicap for Track Rats.

Preparation

Buy yourself a BF Club for $1,280,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

Rules

1. Everyone will be required to limit their FPS at 60. At the end of the event the host will ask for a screenshot from the 1st player, when they pass the finish line. (Where the FPS counter is clearly visible.) Failing to present the screenshot means that their performance in the race will be disregarded and the 2nd player will be asked show their screenshot.

2. The first non-Track Rat on the podium gets the role, if there are any. If no non-Track Rats finish on the podium, nobody gets the role.

3. Weapon usage is forbidden.

4. Only Curb boosting is allowed.

5. Intentionally crashing into other racers or disrupting the flow of the race will warrant a disqualification. (Accidents will happen, but try to minimize it.)

6. Try to only overtake racers when the risk of crashing is minimum, on the other hand if someone is clearly faster than you, let them pass.

7. While we realize that the Track Rat role is sought after by many players and things get heated, don’t forget to have fun.

Event Itinerary

1. Join Friends-Only session on YG1231 . The session will be created 15 minutes before the start of the event.

2. Meet at the Diamond Casino parking lot, for a car inspection.

3. We head into the race, called FISH Good Vibrations ‘18 by ImFishy.

4. The first two rounds will be the non-contact Qualifying Session, to determine the starting position of the racers and get familiar with the track.

5. Everyone takes their position, according to their best lap time in the Qualifying Session. Racers are required to start on their Qualifying position.

6. Race is in GTA mode 14 laps long.

7. After the countdown races arrange in a zipper pattern and make sure there are 3 car lengths space between you and the car in front on your side of the zipper.

8. After starting grid is arranged the first racer will throw a grenade and the race begins when it detonates, any kind of weapon usage besides that is forbidden.

Bottom Gear - The Return of the Issi

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Welcome to bottom gear mates!

Like the saying goes, big things come in small packages, yup, just like Lexi, 4ft11 and 100 pounds of pure condensed concentrated evil (rip x4🏊). There is no smaller package than the classic issi, with an engine block smaller than a dish washer's and exhaust note that sounds like sneaking a fart in an office meeting. The Issi Classic has been the closest thing on four wheels to screaming 'I've got nothing to prove to anyone' in the face of every stranger you meet.

This is a continuation of last week's event, as we were short on time, but any HALPer is welcome.

Challenges

1st challenge: Survive the Hunt: Meet at top of Pillbox Hill parking lot where yours truly will be the cunt chasing you around with a ramp buggy. You fall out, you lose; last car standing wins.

2nd challenge: With Enough Lube: Repair whatever is left of your car and dignity and meet at Ammunation where we will attempt to answer the age-old question… how many Issis can fit in Ammunation? (you can bring your arena war issi if you have one to park it over the counter) previous world record is 9, held by HALPers

Rules

1. Absolutely no PVP or I’m telling daddy Plasma and you do not want to be taken to his naughty halpers basement.

2. Event will take place in a Friends-only session, so send BlazeRoman a friend request to join, you are free to remove him afterwards, that’s alright.

Reward

I will personally narrate one page of text of whatever you want as long as it is not political, religious, or illegal. (Red & Cyro fan fiction is acceptable.)

HALPer's Squid Game

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 16:00:00 +0000

All players will participate in a series of minigames inspired by the popular Netflix show: Squid Game. Participants will be taken to each game in a Festival Bus, and they will go through various minigames until just 1 player is declared the winner. There is a prize for winning, as described in the "Prizes" section on the event page.

Preps

Required:: A Heist Coverall outfit, not including anything in Red, or with a gasmask.

Required: Showing up on time. Late participants can still participate in the event, albeit as a spectator and a voter for the Dalgona Candy Drawing Game only.

Optional, but highly recommended: Joining voice chat.

Event Itinerary

Join on TrueNinjafrog ’s Friends-Only Session at the time of the event (or earlier, if you’d like!), meet up at the Casino parking lot, and 15 minutes after the start time the event activities will commence.

Red Light, Green Light

1. Participants will be taken to the far end of Sandy Shores Airfield, and then will be instructed to wait with everyone along the starting line.

2. When TrueNinjafrog detonates a sticky bomb, everyone should start running forward towards the other end of the runway.

3. When TrueNinjafrog detonates a second sticky bomb, participants must quickly stop.

4. If any participants are spotted moving after the second sticky bomb goes off, they will be killed.

5. The process repeats until all remaining participants reach the finish line at the end of the airfield.

6. Eliminated participants will be asked to watch remaining participants from a safe distance.

Dalgona Candy Drawing Game (NOTE: Not in-game)

1. Remaining living participants will be taken to LSIA, where they will be lined up against a wall and await further instructions. All spectating participants and those who died during Red Light, Green Light must watch from a distance.

2. Each living participant will race to select one of the 10 drawing prompts provided by TrueNinjafrog , based on GTA items. If there are more than 10 participants, they will get to choose from the same 10 prompts, similar to the actual game in Squid Game.

3. After everyone has selected their prompt, HALPers will be given a “GO” signal to draw their prompt on whichever medium they prefer (A sticky note, scratch paper, Microsoft paint, GIMP, Krita, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.)

4. Each participant will have 5 minutes to draw their prompt starting after everyone has selected their prompt. Like other time-based events (clothing/fashion events, notably) participants will be reminded in-chat when the time will expire. Participants are highly encouraged to stream their drawing attempt in voice chat if possible.

5. Participants must upload their own drawings in the halp-events channel, and label it as the prompt they were given, before the 5 minute timer expires. I’ll probably give about 30 seconds grace period after “done” to compensate for lag, anyone who does not submit their drawing before the time cutoff is eliminated.

6. All spectators will DM TrueNinjafrog and rate the drawings on a scale of 1-5 based on accuracy, or how well you can tell what an object is supposed to be. (ex. somoene may draw the loadout icon for a gun instead of the actual gun itself). Scores are cumulative. Non-participants may vote in Discord if they are around for the event, as they will effectively be the same as a dead participant.

7. After the cumulative scores are calculated, the top 3 (top 2 if there are 3 participants) will be allowed to proceed to the final game.

Note: if this event somehow only has 2 participants, the winner wins the entire event since there will be insufficient members to proceed to the finals.

FIB Game

1. All remaining participants will be flown to the top of the FIB building through the usage of a stolen helicopter, or Frogger. Once again, all other spectators are only there to watch in their own flying vehicles.

2. The last 3 participants will simply fistfight to the death. I have considered ways to replicate the original “Squid Game” from the show, but this was the best idea I had based on similarly themed GTA videos.

Prizes (choose one)

1. 85% cut of a Cayo Perico Heist (1 - 1.7 million, basically $20 in sharkcards lol)

2. A high quality pixel art image of your avatar, sufficient to receive the Pixel Gang role

3. Any giftable/tradable Steam Community item valued at $4.99 or less

The goal is to cross the finish line as fast as possible while adhering to the rules outlined below.

The track we will be using is made by Broughy1322. Those of you who wish to know more about this race’s origins and its rules, see this video:

Karin Kuruma Kruising - #2

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 18:00:00 +0000

A race for both Armored and Non-Armored Karin Kuruma.

Apparently, the non-armored Kuruma is more Bulletproof than the Armored Kuruma... but it still has less health against bullets overall. Weird, huh? Let's celebrate this wonderful vehicle in several Stunt Races (3x GTA$ and RP) exclusively for the Sports Class.

The Karin Kuruma. Nearly everyone’s first “heist” vehicle, featuring a nearly (or completely) bulletproof design, built for high speed chases and heists. We’ll take it out of its typically combat-based role, and instead test it out its grit(z) on the track.

We will be using a variety of different stunt courses of different designs and styles, all chosen to be the most fun and interesting to race in with the Kurumas. Anyone is free to use whatever Kuruma variant they own or prefer.

Contact and Slipstream will be enabled OR disabled, based on user vote. To keep things simple, at the start of every race, TNf will ask if anyone wants to change the settings (default is non-contact), and if a majority vote says to, it will be changed to Contact AND Slipstream.

Bottom Gear - Teeny Weeny Issi Partini

Sat, 09 Oct 2021 17:00:00 +0000

Welcome to bottom gear mates!

Like the saying goes, big things come in small packages, yup, just like Rhodian's package. There is no smaller package than the classic issi, with an engine block smaller than a dish washer's and exhaust note that sounds like sneaking a fart in an office meeting. The Issi Classic has been the closest thing on four wheels to screaming 'I've got nothing to prove to anyone' in the face of every stranger you meet.

Participants will go through a series of challenges and torturous shenaningans that i have cooked up for the sole purpose of inflicting suffering which in return brings ME great joy. Grab any model of the weeny issi (preferably classic but if you can't afford it any will do) modify to taste and meet at sandyshores airfield.

Challenges

1st challenge: Musical cars: Park your cars in a circle, make sure that it is open access to all players, get out of your cars. I will blast music from my truck (so enable sound) as soon as the music stops completely, players will get in any car. The player that is left out without a car is eleminated and each round we remove a couple of cars until only 1 car and 2 players left.

2nd challenge: Brake first ese!: Gather up at Algonquin Boulevard in Sandy Shores where we will play a little game of chicken, two participants will race at a time. If you brake too late, you go for a swim in your car, if you brake too early, you lose. The one who gets to the end the first and travels the furthest distance without falling, wins.

3rd challenge: Survive the Hunt: Meet at top of Pillbox Hill parking lot where yours truly will be the cunt chasing you around with a ramp buggy. You fall out, you lose; last car standing wins.

4th challenge: Repair whatever is left of your car and dignity and meet at Ammunation where we will attempt to answer the age-old question… how many Issis can fit in Ammunation? (you can bring your arena war issi if you have one to park it over the counter) previous world record is 9, held by HALPers

2. Event will take place in a Friends-only session, so send BlazeRoman a friend request to join, you are free to remove him afterwards, that’s alright.

Speeding Bullets - #2

Sat, 02 Oct 2021 17:00:00 +0000

They don't make 'em like they used to. Which is why Vapid designed the retro-classic Bullet based on the racing cars of the 1960s, back when nobody gave a crap about carbon footprints or the Ozone layer.

Ah yes, the Bullet. Rated “F” tier in Broughy’s tier list, often considered the worst supercar in GTA. And yet, many a new player is super eager to nab one when spotted in the streets… until an Infernus passes by. While the Bullet is not exactly a fast Super, the type of tracks we will be using, and the game settings enabled in-session, will push the Bullet to speeds beyond what it is normally capable of in standard, plain races.

We will be using a variety of different stunt courses with minimal turns and major jumps, so true to the name of the event, we will be driving and soaring at high speeds across the track, like Speeding Bullets!

Contact and Slipstream will be enabled, but not Catch-Up.

Crashing and bad mannerisms will be reported, but, accidents will happen. That’s the fun of honest GTA contact racing, is it not? Haha!

Custom Vehicles are allowed, but only the Bullet can be raced!

2. Do not interfere with other Drivers or other Pushers.

3. This is a team event, so it is not in your best interest to block/defend against your own teammates (LSDWP or Post-Op respectively). If your team has a fast duo, let them pass, because if your team crosses the line first, you win, regardless of your individual duo performance!

7. Pushers push and boost into their partner (if their pushing vehicle has a boost) to help them get to each checkpoint faster!

8. Go to each checkpoint in order and try to be the fastest team to cross the finish line first! (TEAM, not DUO to cross the line first!)

1st challenge: Grab a modifiable pedestrian CAR (BECAUSE YOU CANT GET TO SPACE ON A SANCHEZ, ATHORIL!) and head over to LSIA Airport where you be launched with the aid of a Vigilante. who ever lands furthest wins this challenge.

2nd challenge: Planetary exploration involves navigating through unknown weather conditions such as sand storms, dunes, and snow. While that shit cannot be replicated, the best I can do is a race to Mount Gordo’s hidden lake.

3rd challenge: No space program is complete without emergency landing training, so make your way down to Sandy Shores Airfield where one of the best jihadi pilots ever (yours truly, BlazeRoman) will fly you sky high over the Diamond Casino where you will be ejected and attempt to dive in the infinity pool (and live).

Rules

1. Absolutely no PVP or I’m telling daddy Plasma and you do not want to be taken to his naughty halpers basement.

2. Vehicle must be a modifiable pedestrian car, so this excludes cars like the vapid bullet which you cannot modify in LSC, you don’t have to grab it off the street if you already have one in your garage (a futo, for example).

3. Event will take place in a Friends-only Session, so send BlazeRoman a friend request to join, you are free to remove him afterwards, that’s alright.

Event Itinerary

Join Friends-Only Session on BlazeRoman at the time of the event and meet at the Diamond Casino parking lot.

First challenge: Judging the vehicles on several important criteria such as passenger capacity and storage and how well it blends with it’s surroundings (because it won’t be a very bright idea to drive a neon pink sports car after raiding the casino… LEXINGTON!)

Second challenge: Now that you got your cars you all are in a race not against others, but against time, We race from Casino to SAWMILL, you may be in passive mode to avoid colliding and yeeting your self off a bridge … it happens, it’s actually very common.

Third challenge: Murphy’s first law states that anything can go wrong, will go wrong, and in a heist, anything can go wrong. 3rd and final challenge will be a surprise and only announced during the event to ensure fairness and no pre event tryharding by any french people.

Rules

1. Absolutely no PVP or i’m telling daddy Plasma and you do not want to be taken to his naughty halpers basement.

Rocoto Family Vacation - #2

Sat, 21 Aug 2021 18:00:00 +0000

It's time for another slow cruise! This time we're heading out to Senora National Park in a caravan of Obey Rocotos to explore it on foot and do some light off-roading, then we'll head up Chiliad to see what these trucks can really do! Dress for a short hike around the park, and be ready for some off-roading fun. We'll start at a truck stop and end at another truck stop. If you missed out on the first instance, don’t miss this one too!

Preps

1. Necessary: steal or purchase an Obey Rocoto ($85k on the Sourthern San Andreas Super Autos site). All upgrades are allowed this time because of the route we’re taking, but make sure you can still keep a steady pace with your fellow HALPers on the freeway.

2. Optional: Create an outfit suitable for offroading and hiking.

Rules

1. Be respectful of others.

2. No blowing things up, no purposely blocking entrances and exits to our destinations, no low-grade griefing (purposely damaging other player’s cars, etc.), and also no griefing of any other kind.

3. This is a light role-play event. We will be pretending to get gas, get food, and we’ll be driving in a way that blends with traffic. If this is not your thing, you probably won’t have fun.

4. Don’t attempt to derail the event (calling emergency services, attracting police and not calling Lester/losing them, etc.) Most of the HALPers who join these slow cruise events are aware that it’s going to be a long drive with no PvP, and that’s what they expect.

5. No PvP. Accidents happen, but generally there will be no reason to have a weapon out in the first place. Save fireworks for the top of Chiliad, so that if they trigger police, the police can’t actually get to us.

6. Come prepared for a leisurely drive, and ready to enjoy nature with your fellow HALPers.

Event Itinerary

2. Show off your Rocoto, get gas, get some snacks or something from Bishop’s before we get on the road. We’ll wait here for everyone to join.

3. We’ll head to Senora National Park for some hiking and offroading. Take photos, hang out, bring a festival bus and turn it into a music festival!

4. We’ll get gas in Harmony and then head up Mount Chiliad and look out at the world from the top.

5. Then we’ll head down the mountain and meet up at the Procopio Truck Stop to get gas and eat at the first Up-N-Atom Burger!

Burnout Los Santos Chapter One: The LS Car Meet - #2

Sat, 31 Jul 2021 18:00:00 +0000

Los Santos Style. It's an individual thing. It has to do with where you come from, what you drive, and what you wear, but a lot of it comes from how you present all these things. Show off your Los Santos Style at the LS Car Meet! Pick a neighborhood in Los Santos (including Chumash, since it's close) and decide what vehicle and clothing brands and styles represent how someone from that neighborhood would present themselves. You can make combinations for as many neighborhoods as you want!

Preps

1. Necessary: Pick a neighborhood from Los Santos (including Chumash) to represent. Cruise around your chosen neighborhood to get a feel for the general vibe, what car brands you see sitting in the driveways on the streets, and what kind of clothing/clothing brands they wear there. Do some research into the quirks of your chosen neighborhood to incorperate into your creations.

Neighborhoods not included are non-residential, and there are smaller districts within each neighborhood. Neighborhoods included:

2. Necessary: Create a car based on your observations. It can be a free car from the local streets, or a DLC vehicle from the same brand you’ve chosen (example: There are a lot of Benefactor vehicles in Rockford Hills. I could steal a Schwartzer or buy a Schlagen GT for the event.)

3. Necessary: Create an outfit based on your observations. It can be an accurate recreation of the real outfits people wear in that area, or it can be an outfit that you feel represents the neighborhood. Feel free to incorperate your chosen vehicle brand in the outfit.

4. Optional: Repeat!

Example:
NEIGHBORHOOD: Rockford Hills
VEHICLE: Benefactor Schwartzer
CLOTHING BRANDS: Sessanta Nove and Perseus

Event Itinerary

1. Join the friends session on RomanBrandt84 and head to the LS Car Meet in Cypress Flats. If you’re not friends with RomanBrandt84 , feel free to send a request.

2. Show off your ride and your outfit while everyone loads in! Let us know in Discord what neighborhood, vehicle, and clothing brands you’re representing.

3. Once everyone is there, we’ll check everything out and hang out. Swap cars and outfits as many times as you want.

4. We’ll have drag races on the test track as well. Feel free to upgrade those rides if you want to participate! Get that rep. If you want to try out the spectator box to see what it looks like from there, that’s cool too. I will be in there off and on during the drag portion.

Rules

1. Be respectful of others.

2. On the test track, keep damage to others to a minimum. It’s a drag race, not a demo derby. Each player has their own lane.

3. Come prepared to take in the sights and see what your fellow HALPers come up with.

Race Through the Decades: A Hand Crafted Race Series - #2 (Updated)

Sun, 25 Jul 2021 12:00:00 +0000

All tracks have been tweaked following last week's event observations, and the new car track will be available. The car-based tracks perform better at lower capacity, so this event will be hosted with simultaneous divisions separated by driver skill self-assesment, with a maximum of 8 racers per division. It will be a more competitive environment for all groups. Players that haven't driven in the previous event should look briefly at the track layouts. They’re designed around the fact that they should reward skills, and not the car’s max speed. They utilize less-than-obvious layouts, yet are still instinctive to drive. Personal vehicles are allowed in street races, however, no perfomance upgrades beyond brakes are allowed. Some new vehicles are allowed, see the full Event Itinerary for the full car list and send your division choice to Makafelki!

Event Itinerary

2. Since races will be held in divisions, participants must give note of their skill from 1-5 (five being top) and send RSC message to Makafelki prior the event with their self-evaluation.

Town of Us with FaUsT (Among Us Mod)

Sat, 05 Jun 2021 14:00:00 +0000

Sup Party People! This Saturday at 14:00 GMT, I will be hosting an Among Us game with the mod 'Town of Us'! This mod adds a LOT of new roles and abilities. For example - Crewmates can get a role 'Sheriff', which allows you to actually kill impostors as a crewmate! But gotta be careful with that, because if you kill a crewmate, then you will die as well! Imposters can get role 'Morhling'. It allows you to take shape of other players for a short period of time. Or you can even get a neutral role with a completely different win condition. Like for the role 'Jester' you actually need to get yourself voted out to win the game; silly right? and there's a lot more roles where those came from!

1. Download the mod here and extract it to your game folder.

1. Join the friends only session on RomanBrandt84 up to 30 minutes before the start. Roman will be at the first meeting spot when you load in, so just go to that location when you’re ready. We’ll hang out while we wait for everyone to join. Prepare for about 20 minutes of people joining. Anyone after that will find us on the way!

2. We’ll cruise, stopping at a drive thru and hitting the beach, etc.

3. This is a slow cruise, so expect to take your time and admire the city.

4. If we have time, we’ll hang out for a bit at the Music Locker after.

Rules

1. Standard drivetrain (engine, transmission, turbo, brakes not upgraded. Anything else is fine. You must SUFFER LOL!)

2. No PvP (Accidents happen)

3. All driving will be realistic (stopping at lights, stop signs, etc. while in town, reasonable pace on the beach.)

4. BF Surfer ONLY. Both regular and beater models are allowed. See this wiki page for info on the BF Surfer, including spawn locations. This means no helicopters, avengers, planes or other vehicles.

Preps

Required: Steal or purchase a BF Surfer. In the past there have been pop-up lots filled with the exact vehicle needed for this kind of thing :smile: Not sure if this is still a thing, but keep an eye out! The BF Surfer can also be purchased on Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $11,000. (Also keep in mind, even though this is a 4 door vehicle, it is apparently only a 2 person vehicle. Rockstar logic.) Both regular and beater models are allowed.

Optional: Create an outfit for the event. Beach, hippie, hipster, or summer themed. Go crazy, peeps!

HALP Fight Club #1 - Seeding Tournament

Sun, 04 Apr 2021 13:00:00 +0000

Hello HALPers!

Do the rules of HALP forbid you from punching someone in the face whom you think really deserves it? Participate in HALP Fight Club and take out your frustrations, show off your skill, and knock down your fellow HALPers in this non-elimination tournament. To participate in the main event, you must register your name on the tournament roster. By doing so, you are agreeing to participate in BOTH TOURNAMENTS.

KO your opponent, or knock them out of the ring to win your match. Each round will have several matches. The tournament winner is decided by overall points.

Seeding Tournament? WTF Is that?

When you finish this tournament, you will be given a score based on how you performed against other HALPers. This will be used to place (aka seed) you in the Halp Fight Club #2 - Double Elimination Tournament on April 11th. So that means, by registering for this tournament, you are registering for TWO EVENTS. You are making a commitment to show up and face off against your fellow competitors in BOTH. People who no-show after registering will be name-and-shamed.

1. To pre-register and confirm your availability for both events, message `@gritz_` in the `#halp-events` channel and you will be added to the tournament roster.

2. This will be a Swiss-Style Tournament. There will be several matches per round. The order in which matches are played is determined algorithmically.

3. Winners will play mostly against winners, losers against losers. Nobody will face the same opponent twice. This is chosen algorithmically.

4. If you win a fight, you get +1 point. If you lose, you get 0. If both HALPers knock each other out simultaneously, it’s a draw, and both HALPers get +0.5 / +0.5.

5. The number of rounds depends on the number of registrants. Expect 3-5 rounds of X matches, where X is the number of players who register. The player with the most points after all the rounds wins the tournament, and is rewarded with the honour of Top Seed in the Halp Fight Club #2 - Double Elimination Tournament.

7. Unfortunately, stand-ins will not be allowed. If you do not show up at the time of your match after registering, you will forfeit each match you do not attend.

Rules

1. You can talk about HALP Fight Club.

2. Inside or near the arena, weapons of any kind are forbidden.

3. Sparring matches outside the viewing platform and arena are allowed, but do not interfere with matches or interact with fighters in the arena or spectators on the platform viewing.

4. If you get a wanted level, call Lester to remove it. If you are on cooldown, use CEO - Bribe Authorities.

5. Other instructions will be given, as required, at the time of the event.

Event Itinerary

Registration

1. Join Friends-Only Session on gritz_ at the time of the event, meet at the marked location at the Galileo Park Observatory.

2. Register with the host if you are available to participate in both tournaments. People who no-show after registering will be name-and-shamed.

3. Climb on to the Viewing Platform (MOC), explore the event area, drink beers, socialize, or spar with your fellow HALPers while people join.

Main Event Start

1. 15 minutes after the event begins or when the tournament roster is full, we will begin. HALPers who show up after the registration period may still spectate from the viewing platform and participate in sparring outside of the main event.

2. In the first round, pairs for each match will be chosen randomly.

3. In subsequent rounds, each participant faces an opponent with the same, or almost the same, cumulative score. No competitor is paired with the same opponent twice. This is done algorithmically.

4. Follow along as the rounds progress.

Description

Second instance of the car meet featuring the Zentorno. It's probably one of the most iconic vehicles of old GTA:O, being the tryhard's and average players' supercar of choice, I think it'd be nice if we can show off all of our own custom takes on this vehicle.

The Mesa Cruise, Featuring the Canis Mesa - #2

Sun, 21 Feb 2021 19:00:00 +0000

This is instance 2 / 2. There are two instances of this event. If you are unable to attend one, you are welcome to attend the other. You are welcome to participate in both!

Objective

This is a slow cruise, so expect to take your time and admire the scenery! Get ready to leave the road and explore an area straight out of a Canis commercial. Tall grass, mountains, ocean views, sparse forests, and even a beach! It's going to be a vacation to remember.

Preps

1. Necessary: Steal or purchase a Canis Mesa or Merryweather Mesa.

The regular Canis Mesa can be purchased from Southern San Andreas for $20k, and the Merryweather variant can be purchased for $87k from Warstock Cache and Carry. Roof or no roof is decided at random when you order, I think. If you steal them, they spawn with either roof type, so you can pick one.

I’ve heard rumors of pop-up Mesa lots in Los Santos where HALPers can take their pick from stolen Mesas! :smile: be on the look out, just in case!

2. Optional: Create a hiking outfit suitable for being a giant slag at high altitudes. Feel free to re-use your outfit from the Canyon Cruise if you attended that event, or create a new one.

Rules

1. No weapons (Flares and Fireworks can be used once we get to the top of Chiliad because the police can’t reach us there).

2. No PvP (Accidents happen)

3. All driving will be realistic (stopping at lights, stop signs, etc. while in town, reasonable pace off road)

4. Come prepared for a relaxing role-play cruise with great views and fun with friends!

Event Itinerary

1. Meet on Friends-Only Session up to 30 minutes before time of event on RomanBrandt84 .

2. Meet at a gas station to get gas and snacks, then head to the Colors of Los Santos meet parking lot in the south east part of the map to wait for people to load in.

3. This is a good time to prep an outfit if you want!

4. We will head off road and explore the big, blank area of the map to our east, stopping for pics and to hang out and take in the views.

5. We’ll stop for food once we get back onto paved roads.

6. This is a slow cruise, so expect to take your time and admire the scenery! :smile:

Objective

Take a road trip to Raton Canyon to explore the dirt roads, take some pics, and hang out with your fellow HALPers!

3. This is a good time to prep an outfit if you want! There’s a clothing store nearby.

4. We will head up toward Ford Zancudo, stopping for gas and snacks along the way, and then over to the Great Ocean Highway.

5. We’ll stop at Hookie’s for food, and then head down into the canyon!

6. We’ll take it slow, stopping at lookout points and exploring the dirt roads.

7. Then, we’ll head over to the Chiliad Wilderness and eventually up to the top of Chiliad.
