Everyone wants their club to be the most popular club on the server. Here you can learn some tips on how to make your club popular.


  • First you'll need to create a club. To do this go to any shop and click the option "Create Club". This will cost $100,000
  • You'll want your club to have a unique name. This will make people want to join it
  • You'll also want to let your club offer something to its members. Whether that be events or a base, or even something else is up to you.
  • Once you do this you'll want to set all the club options to your liking.
  • After your club is set the way you like (you can change it later) you'll want to advertise your club to the other players on the server.
  • You can advertise by announcement at any shop. This will cost $10,000. I find that this is very effective at gaining members. You could also use $75,000 of the $100,000 you used to make the club to rent a billboard. You can do this by typing /myclubs then clicking on your club, and then clicking "advertise club".
  • Never advertise your club in the main chat. This breaks server rules and you will get a warning and your club could be terminated.
  • You can also advertise your club Here.
  • Once you advertise the club make sure to accept new members if you configured your club to not auto-accept.
  • After all that you need to sit back and wait. People will slowly start to apply to your club and the number of members will slowly increase. Don't think you'll have 50 members overnight. It will take a while.
  • You might also want to have your brand new club host a few events to get its name out there.
  • You could host a carshow. They are easy and exciting for players to join. Plus you get to see a lot of really cool cars.

To have a successful club you'll need to be patient and have plenty of money to give away at events and to buy advertisements with. It is very rewarding in the end so give it a shot. :)
When your club is really popular it will be on this list

After the toll you will continue through Los Santos by following the freeway. Once you come to the end of the highway you must go over the small jump. (The green dot) The first person to land wins.
I will upload a video of the track later

Events / CVT's Lottery Hosted By The Hobos
March 31, 2012, 22:36
The winning number is 10
Xero is the winner! Congrats

The Lottery is disabled for now. Do not try to enter at the moment.
The Hobos will be hosting a weekly lottery. A lot of people have been suggesting one so The Hobos will host it for you. $5,000 will be the seed winnings for the lottery.

Lottery Size: $0

How to enter:
All you have to do to enter is send money and a number 1-50 to HoboEvents.

This command: /transfermoney HoboEvents 10,000 (A Number 1-50)

Once you do this, you're in and your name will be added to the list below.

When does the winner get picked?
Every Sunday I will go to Random.org and find a number 1-50. The winner from the list below will win all the money from the amount of numbers sold. The money will vary depending on how many people buy into the lottery. If two or more people have the same winning number they will split the prize.

What if no one wins?
That is not possible. I will continue finding a random number until a winning number is chosen.

Why $10,000?
Well $10,000 isn't that much money from one player. It's about equal to one or two artic missions. Not that much to spend.

What if two people win?
If two people win the money will be split evenly between them.

How many times can I enter?
You can enter twice. It's still $10,000 per number. If you enter twice just do
This command: /transfermoney HoboEvents 20000 (Two Numbers 1-50)

The Leviathan can float just like the Skimmer so why not let the Leviathan be parked in the water with /moor too.
Add boat, or something like that, to the Leviathan's classes. :smile:

Help / Demolition Derby?
March 21, 2012, 01:18
Quote1) No fighting, no killing, no driving into other players.
2) Do not ram or attempt to steal other players' vehicles, do not block road (doesn't apply to cops pursuing a suspect)

Yes I know what the rules are but for an event would a demolition derby be allowed? As long as participants only hit other participants.
Thank you

Off Topic / Pledge of Allegiance
March 16, 2012, 01:56
This is for the truckers of the USA


We no longer do this for... fear... of Offending Someone.

My school district is being sued for having the pledge announced over the speakers. It happens once a year on September eleventh or the closest school day for the High school. The Junior High has it announced on the day that starts the week. The elementary schools announce it every day.
Why is the dumbass cowardice (wont give their name) family suing the school district? Because of the phrase "under God". Why the school district that is run by tax payers? Because they're dumbasses.
So please, pray for them, maybe the god that they want to eliminate will help them be less stupid. O:-)

Help / Van Missions
February 12, 2012, 20:18
I just finished the Tow Truck achievement and am going to start the van missions to try to get that achievement too. I just sold my tow truck and I want to buy a vehicle to do the van missions with.
What vehicles count towards the van missions? / What's the best vehicle to do them with? / Where's the best place to do the missions?
Thanks

Right now the condition of the vehicle you're driving is shown in the bottom left as "perfect", "good", "fair" and "poor". When you use the command, /Fixcar, your vehicle is repaired out of 100. ex. 78/100, 95/100
My suggestion is to give the option of the player to have their vehicle's condition displayed as "perfect", "good"... or have it displayed out of 100.

It would be more helpful to know more specificly how my vehicle is doing so that I know when I should fix it or do another mission. Thank you  :smile:
