What's your SA-MP story?

[JetPack]

So, okay while y'all in quarantine and prolly bored as hell.

Why don't we share our story how we started to play SA-MP.
I was thinking to start this topic the other night because I couldn't sleep and I got curious about a lot of things one of them was how y'all started to play SA-MP, like where or how did you find SA-MP and why you choose to stick with this game whilst there are a lot of other games out there.

What was your first game mode you played in SA-MP and if it's not PTP what was it and what does PTP got and no one else has. And lastly what is the reason why you are still here/playing it?

This will be our little sleepover-bedtime-stories.

So, I'm gonna start. I think I found SA-MP when I was scrolling down on the internet prolly by
YouTube or Facebook. The first game mode that I played was Cops & Robbers, if y'all familiar with it yeah.
then I kept finding more servers that had me interested in 'till I found PTP while back late 2011 or 2012.
My in-game Nick was JetPack that little annoying kid back then and still is. I played with a lot of people back then, here's a little throwback.

I started going inactive around 2014 or '15. I've been around from time to time. For nostalgia lol, this game mode help me a lot to become the person I am today. I think I wouldn't become the person I am if I didn't stumble upon this game. and for me, it's not the game that makes it fun, but the community behind it. despite the drama and y'all bs. It's still fun to be around at least. 

PS,
No JKs please. You can tell your age or not depending on you

I think I found SA-MP in May 2017. Had just switched from my 2g (128kbps I guess) to a fast internet so I just wanted to try out some multiplayer games, but sad thing my pc could only run gta sa, and that even at 25fps ;-;, first server was a CNR server, didn't understand.. found PTP in the hosted list I guess, (sorting by lowest ping and good player count xD )

I found Samp End of 2016 By my real friendson Xd(Madman)
And 2 month played with out Register With Name:Amir_zzF
Lol After That i register and Started...

[Ahsoka_Tano]

Played alot of singleplayer games from the 2000s and 300+ other games that i cant remember now.

Then found samp from my brother in 2011 i suppose, first server was dayz and sticked there till i found my own language servers.
Found PTP in 2015 i suppose not sure could have scrolled sooner.
Now just wondering around.

I first found GTA SA back in 2010. I was such a newbie didn't even know what to do. I went to the CJ icon because the help-state was telling to.Then I played a bit of story (the easy missions) and I got stuck on the hard parts, Which were impossible for me at that time.I couldn't do them so I started googling how to do stuff in GTA SA and mistakenly found 'cheats' . I played another bit of game with cheats. Then it all became super extreme fun. I thought more fun will be when there will be 2 players so I started googling it and found a youtube video showing how to 2 player gta say on ps2. I didn't know what was ps2 at that time thinking it (that line) to be something irrelevant.So I saw a 2 player icon in the form of pickup on that video. I got in game and tried to do that but the pickup wasn't there (it was in ps2 version of game).I started to look more about multiplayering the game and got into a youtube video again. There was a guy stunting with sanchez and a bigsmoke sitting at the passenger seat. He was stunting on custom ramps which weren't originally in San Andreas it looked so much fun so I was gone mad about multiplayer.And one day I got on Google randomly typed San Andreas Multiplayer and got into a samp page , didn't know what to do there so got into a youtube video again.After I watched it I installed samp and the rest of my story is under construction.

[Uzumaki]

My parents first installed our own Wi-Fi when I was in class 8. And that time, I used to play a lot of GTA San Andreas like a lot. I completed the game like thrice(OFC with cheats). Then, when we had Wi-Fi installed, I thought, "How about googling if there's any multiplayer for GTA:SA?" So, I googled and downloaded SA-MP. The first server I was in was a Ramming like server. IDK we used to have trucks and rammed each other off a high building and the last truck on the building won, that was the whole game mode. After that, I went on a adventure in the Hosted tab in SA-MP. Then, I searched for something with a unique name. All I saw was Free-roam, Cops and Robbers, Derby, etc. After that, I saw "Plan B: Protect The President". It caught my sight immediately. So just entered in right away. Then, I started playing the game a lot and finally discovered /register after months of playing.

Back in 2015,I was browsing Youtube and randomly,saw a video named "How to play gta sa online" .
I clicked on it then my journey has begun.

[GroundZero]

I played GTA SA on the PS2, and one day decided to look up multiplayer to see if there was a way to play online, like I did with madden. (This is probably 2005, 2006 at this point) I found SAMP via google search, and after doing some more googling I figured out how to download it and get it to work. I not long after found the PTP Server. I played PTP and a Cops n Robbers server as well.

found a few PTP SS from the old dayz, i have a bunch more:



Probably started samp in 2007. I was the first VIP the PTP server had, and I eventually became a mod and then admin. I ended up leaving admin after a year or two, I think after becoming inactive and having a few complaints :p. After a while I found RP Servers in 08 and started playing those as well, which led me to Next Generation Gaming Roleplay, in 2010. in 2012, I was promoted to staff at that community. From 2012-2013 I rose through the admin ranks at that community, which had thousands of active daily users, and two FULL samp servers (500 players each). I was Executive Admin there for a while in a few different capacities, eventually ended up retiring. I'm now a regular player again, I float between PTP server when it's got 30+ players and NGRP where I roleplay as a SWAT Operative/NOOSE Operative.

2009 - I started playing GTA San Andreas when it was 2009 summer in my aunt's internet café but I get to play only for a few minutes because me and my big family were in a vacation together.

2013 - Years later, I was obsessed to it so I'm trying to find a way to download and play into my pc which has Windows XP.  But, I couldn't find a proper installation to the full game and I only find the modded and half version of it.

One day, my childhood friend came into my house. He's older than me and my parents introduced him to me when I was still a baby/infant. He's 6 years older than me and also my neighbor. He saw me downloading GTA San Andreas and told him everything about what I was doing for the past 3 weeks.

After hearing all of that, he used my laptop and goes to a website where games can be found. After 5 minutes, he found it and quickly downloaded it. It took 1 day to download because my family was using the wifi when it's night time.

When I had the game, I always goof around from LS-SF-LV using the Hydra with the entire military jet platoon on my ass. After that, I've been doing missions so I can complete all of it to roam around into the San Andreas map. After a year, I've finished it because I start the game when it was near 'Back to School' days.

2/5 years later(2016 summer), I've discovered SAMP when I was watching some youtube videos and stumbled across a video where GTA San Andreas Multiplayer has existed for nearly years ago. And I was angry at that time because I first heard it after years of existence with so many players to it.

Right after 2017 summer started, I played LSSW first because I want to test my skills to the players. I did add some servers into my favorite server to visit list. I became bored of LSSW because I was lagging there and too much players spawnkilling outside of our spawn base.

I want something like LSSW but no just a DM mode. I want a DM server that's composed of strategies, has (respectful, kind, funny, and competetive) players without toxic ones, where I can improve my speaking of English language, and where I can spend my time with.

Then, I stumbled to a server named 'Plan B : Protect the President.' I really liked the name because it has the word 'Plan B' so I joined and played the server. I was playing almost everyday to the server because the gamemode is so interesting that I couldn't stop playing it.

I didn't recall on what was my first nickname back then because the nickname I was playing with is just searched from Google 'best gaming nicknames for boys'. After a year, I registered with the name 'Cipher' right after my favorite character 'Bill Cipher' from the cartoon 'Gravity Falls'.

[COBRA]

Now big true story comes here! If you don't bother reading PTP history, you can just pass me

I started to play sa-mp with my friend who was my neighboor. It was in 2006, Those times only two good servers we were playing on: PTP & Cops and Robbers servers. We were kids those times, we were just teaming up with eachother, killing others etc. Then he left playing because of school issues, bad exams marks etc Poor friend.. But I kept playing Sa-mp on weekeds. I was only able to play on weekends because in week days, I was focused on school. I made some great friendship with turkish players, those times my nickname was "SWAT". Then turkish friends made a gang with the tag [TURKS]. So my nickname became [TURKS]SWAT. I kept playing with that nickname till my gang squad got banned because of some of them using hacks (lel). So I changed my name to COBRA. I kept playing with this nick for long time.

In 2007, my best friend's name was Adeel, we were doing stunts, playing PTP gamemode like as always. Then we decided to make a clan. In those times PTP server had only 1 map. It was Las Venturas and PTP Server's name was "Protect the President Las Venturas". Sa-mp version was 0.1b. (First Beta Version lol). Can you imagine how old is it? 13 years ago lol.

PTP;LV Server 0.1b version closed in 2008 summer. Because PTP's creator Tratulla was started to work in Google. Tratulla gave scripts to Tenshi to keep PTP alive. So Tenshi was working on PTP server so hard to make it better server than before. Tenshi kept PTP to a new sa-mp version with more maps, more better system and made it alive.
Then, we moved to PTP 0.2 Server with PPLV member. Server had really good population compored to 0.1b PTP server. So Tenshi made me admin in 2008. I still remember RZK's kind words when Tenshi was promoted me to admin. Those staff members were really helpful to eachother, was so kind. RZK is in the screenshot:

https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/x187/Schamens10/Old%20PTP%20Photos/sa-mp-035.png

PTP Server 0.3 Version has opened in Fall 2009. At the same time, another PTP server was created. Players were making topics at forum about there is other PTP server, was so close to real one. So it is not the first time like as Plan B server creating. I think some old admin from PTP was created that server. But players decided to play on original one, so Tenshi just let the other server still go around and then other fake PTP Server closed. We kept playing PTP with some good buddies.

In 2009, I also added "news system" to PPLV website which was one of best thing for our oldies to know what happened when. ( https://pplv.tr.gg/Archives.htm ) You can see how many players joined PPLV since 2009. This is so good to know how old we are 

I had really good times with PPLV clan, we grow up together, we shared our experiences in life. PPLV was meaning to us more than clan. It was more like good fellas, more than a video game friend. Some of them got merried, some of them working hard, each of us got on to many different places on life. We are big boys now. Anyways, back to topic...

I was admin on PTP for long years, many players hated me because of my straightness. I kept Staff business away from Clan business. They were two different things which I had to do in PTP Server. But my enemies used this against me. They were trying hard to trick me ingame by their talks, by reporting me for abuse etc. They were playing dirty. I wasn't giving f** tho.

In 2017, it was the time when I was in the center of clan wars, between rule breakers and hackers, trying to fight them and trying to expose their hacks. But in their trying hard, I got tricked by them and those two faced guys who I'll name down there, they reported me and I got demoted from staff right in the time.

My demotion story from Staff: (Server as staff in period of 2008 to 2017) 
1st Complaint: I kicked the guy named "Turkish" ingame.
The story is not very serious issue for me. Because There is a guy called ingame regular name: Yosen aka Haynes. He and his best friends MARK[KTP], with KTP clan had some issues with me a few weeks ago, by he was bullying on my clan member ingame, like insulting him bcuz of his playing skills and he was saying that clan member should be removed from PPLV bcuz of bad skills etc... So I basically protected my clan member by saying that he has good skills, he has good personality. We continued that chat a few minutes more and Then I didn't care Yosen's behave in server more than that.
After that he changed his name to "Turkish". Even I knew he was Yosen, I asked him via PM. And we had an arguing, he was so tricky. He started to act like "You are an admin, what kind of behave is that?" etc. I answered like as: "I'm admin but it has nothing to do with my admin since I'm answering you as an human". I can't remember clearly but then he said: "I'm going to ignore you, good job" or something like that. Then he blocked his PM for me. But he kept pm'ing me. When I try to answer him on /pm, I wasn't able to. So I used /sm to answer him. So he said that "Admin abuse!".. He was yelling on mainchat about I abusing admin message command.
Well, was it me abusing the server commands or was it he abusing the block pm command to annoy me? He kept yelling on mainchat, he also said that he will complain me to Jonne about that behave. Then I kicked him out of the game, because he was saying COBRA admin abuse on mainchat.. When he came back to game, he kept same stuff for admin abuse kicked etc.. I Said "go report me, even Jonne can read this now".
Yes, I got demoted because of kicking him out the server by answering with /sm also. But later, he went silent right after his best friend MARK[KTP] banned from server forever and KTP members stopped playing or left the clan. (https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=4575.0

2nd complaint: about Sasha's ban. ( https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=1543.0 )
I was ingame. Like as everyday my team was cop, their team was terrorists. We were around armor spawn and we were fighting. Which thing makes me the focus on Sasha is; In that day, Sasha was clearly not taking any damage. There were a few other players using his IP too. But Sasha was clearly not taking damage and players were complaining me about him. You can see the chat logs of last hour when I banned Sasha.
Players were saying, please COBRA spy him, he is hacking, he doesn't lose health etc. I was saying there is no point to spy him since we are fighting with 30 people in same area... So I just kept the playing gamemode.
In an half an hour, there was the thing which made me very suspecious about Sasha. We were around armor again, Sasha's all fellas were dead and only Sasha was left alive. I was playing there too, like as around 6 cops trying to kill Sasha. From 5 to 10 meters range away eachother. I was one of those cops who were shooting to Sasha. Wıth me there was 5 more cops shooting to Sasha and Sasha was killing a few of us, yet we were not able to take his health down when he was killing us. Then I quickly go to spy him to check better.

On my spy screen; Sasha was running fast a little bit fast, packet loss were normal maybe around 0.50. His Ping was around 300 maximum. Which made me suspecious about his lag doesn't work like this. If he lags, how can he able to kill in 10 people and not taking damage? Well, he killed a few more in that 15 seconds, he was killed by 10 cops surrounded him very hardly.

I was sure he was using some kind of add-on/samp mod/gamefile bug or any kind of illegal stuff to make it. So I banned him. Because it was impossible to stay alive in the middle of 10 cops surrounded him. But yet he killed a few cops there, damage was not working. I'm still thinking he has some illegal stuff. Yet I have no solid proof more than logs of those players:

I actually don't care player's yelling on mainchat about regular's having aimbot, damage mods. I simply tell them to take a video record and pm admins on forum. But this time, I saw with my eyes, plus there were 10 players with me who saw that. Still I don't think he is clear. But I have no solid proof. I just pm'ed Jonne to give me the logs of Sasha of where he got hit from on body. I want to check them, because it was not normal. Which part I done wrong; that's I've no solid proof and I banned him. But I'm sure he was not normal. Yeah I got demoted for this ban. While after he and his friends got banned forever from PTP ( https://planbserver.com/forum/index.php?topic=4454.0

Let's keep on story:

We were fighting agains Cops vs Terrorists. There were a few guy getting AC reports. So I went to CP and check them if they are ban evader. I found out one of them is actually my clan member Wael. But I kept my silence, kept playing like is I don't know who are them. I saw Wael was teaming up with DUDE named guy and I found out later he was Firas. Then in an half hour maybe, Firas killed me. So I pm'ed him about: "Good job Firas". So that chat happened between us ingame:

[19:00:19] * You were killed by DUDE (28): Distance: 11 | Weapon: TEC9
[19:00:26] PM to DUDE(28): not bad firas
[19:02:00] PM from DUDE(28): SORRY AND THX BOSS BUT WE CANT KILL MARK HE IS OUR OLD FRIENDS
[19:02:47] PM to DUDE(28): He is your old friend but u guys decided to help him and all LoD instead of your current clan
[19:03:51] PM from DUDE(28): BOOS WEN ME AND WAEL FIGHT LOD ALL PPLV JUST WATCH US
[19:04:04] PM to DUDE(28): Well I can'T believe it
[19:04:13] PM to DUDE(28): Currently we all fighting against them and you two
[19:06:17] PM from DUDE(28): THAT IS THE TURE CRASH GO CIV AND RAGE GO TERROR AND ME AND WAEL OLNE
[19:06:52] PM from DUDE(28): THAT IS/PM 46 BTW I RESPECT U AND PPLV CLAN

I kept playing the game, in a few hours, I told it to some PPLV members that Wael and Firas are kicked from clan. They asked me why and I had to explain them the story like as I did in here, but I explained it without some details.

The part which I done wrong was: I told that Wael and Firas was playing undercover nicknames. I told them this story with the names. But I done a such a stuff for the first time ever in my 10 years past of PTP gameplay. I know that I've done wrong there. I accept it, but I did it by accident with I was shocked while I was telling this story to some members who asking it to me.

Sharing admin informations with normal players? I never done that before, till that day when I told the story with undercover nicknames which I did it by accidently. I'm very sorry about it. For an example, even some mods asking me if some player is playing undercover, I'm not telling them...
I never done that before. But in this situation, I made a wrong action by telling story with their names.

So some of guys wonder why [pWn]Hero. & [pWn]TiTan. yelling me like "mad abuser?". That's why. I wish them good luck in the club pWn by losers, asslickers, honorless, unmature kids in it. Because every mature one left the pWn clan sadly. Now it became losers club.

I got demoted for those 3 complaints about me in the last week of May 2017. But now I see everything happened in our life for some reason. If I'm here with my current fellas, I thank them for being together united with honour we have. We are honest ones, we are more than players here. GG to all my haters, you played, well done

Wuzi[GgT], a reallife best friend of mine brought me in Sa-Mp and directly in Ptp in 2012. But I used different nicks and played around. Only in 2015 I was registered.
