So I took part in a GTA:O carmeet, yesterday. Basically, all players join a voicechat on a Discord server, and then meet up at a certain place with a car that fits the criteria (in this case, "european cars").
I gotta admit, I was... wildly unprepared for how organized this shit was. I roll up, expecting a few people milling about some cars, and then just go for a short drive. Instead, I roll up to a area that's completely fenced off by SWAT vans, with two attack choppers hovering overhead. When I drove through the one gap in the van-fence, I am halted by no less than 4 guys in military clothes, pointing machine guns at me, who are typing "GET OUT OF THE CAR" in the chat. After I get out, they demand I open all doors, trunk, and hood, I guess to check if it wasn't a carbomb. Once cleared, I was "allowed entry" (literally, they typed "you're allowed to enter" in chat), and I park my car.
One of the other persons there kept firing their flaregun and fireworks launcher. The "security" team (what they called themselves), kept telling them to "put away their weapons, or risk getting shot" (again, verbatim). And yeah, when they didn't listen, they got sniped by a fucking sniper they had setup for these kinds of things.
And of course, when someone rolled up but didn't get out of their car fast enough, it resulted in some pretty hectic typing and capslock messages in the chat, and eventually, gunfire. The offending player's car was then removed by a Cargobob, which was apparently on standby for these kinds of things.
I had to leave before the meet fully ended, but I read some chats in the discord server this morning, and I wasn't disappointed. From what I read, someone was "providing security" in a Hydra, but it got damaged, and blew up? Which resulted in the dude having a fucking meltdown, trying to find who had shot him down (hint, it was no-one).
All in all, it was pretty fun, the other cars were dope to see. But goddamn, that "Security team" took their jobs really fucking serious.
