I don’t know… Ren might be too busy kicking the kid’s ass up around his eyeballs and bribing Van to wipe the kids record.
Regardless, seems we have to openings to really good RP going on here.

And Ren will STILL kick his ass for that, since he could and ‘should’ be doing that for his dad’s garage/pawn shop.
Although… Ren doesn’t want him risking the college scholarships and football team for that sort of thing.
This might just work for all if Deus brings to Ren what Trey steals. Ren can stay blissfully ignorant that way.

Awesome! If there’s already potential growth just waiting to happen, then my main concern is gone.
Of course Ren’s going to kick his kid in the ass if he finds out what’s going on, but that too will take time.

But… As Graydy pointed out… Why is there a gang needed for that?
Anyone that comes on sim can RP with the gangs already here for those things, without having to join them.
Why not just have Deus and T join Mamba?

You know, as far as being a cop… He could start out the headshop by stealing drugs from the evidence lock up.
Get a good ‘stash’ built up while he’s still on the force. Not like the DEPD isn’t corrupt as it is.
The two would work well together, but the time spent doing both is where the problem will end up being.

Good luck with it either way!

Not sure I’m understanding what you’re saying there, Alina.

Just like any pawn shop anywhere. Stolen goods would come and go through there regularly.

I understand it wasn’t an attack. I was simply clarifying that there aren’t any ‘rules’ stating we can’t own/lead more than one business, and pointing out where there are in fact others that do, and with less connection to each other than these two would have.
Apparently then there isn’t a partner to your gym as there appears to be… my mistake.

There are no official rules that state a player can not own/lead in more than one business.
