Welcome to the next step 🚀 Shakira trial Timbo trial iMystic trial NaXeR SQUAD     IN-GAME STATISTICS LEADERBOARD NEW The In-Game Statistics Leaderboard allows players to track rankings and performance directly inside the game. Instead of having to leave the server and check external web pages, players can now access all important statistics directly through the in-game interface.   KEY FEATURES 📊 Integrated Rankings — View leaderboards directly in-game 🎯 Multiple Categories — Track performance across different stats and game modes 🔄 Automatic Refresh Every 30 Minutes — Rankings updated regularly to reflect recent activity 🏆 Competitive Transparency — Clear visibility of top players     Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 2026.02.26 - 19.22.53.04.mp4       ACCOUNT LEVEL SYSTEM NEW The Account Level System is designed to reward long-term dedication and overall player performance. Unlike systems that only track a single statistic, this level system takes into account all player activity and historical performance. Every action contributes to your global progression, and your account level continuously evolves as you keep playing. Your level reflects your experience, consistency, skill, and commitment to the server.   HOW EXPERIENCE (XP) IS EARNED 🏟️ Arena Points 1 pt = 1 XP 🏆 Achievements 500 XP per achievement ⏱️ Playtime 150 XP per hour played ⚡ Top Time 300 XP per record set 💾 Progress Saved 150 XP per lane saved 🎯 Daily Quests 400 XP per quest completed   KEY FEATURES ✔ All previous and future statistics are included in level calculation ✔ Continuous progression with no reset ✔ Rewards both skill and activity ✔ Encourages long-term engagement   This system ensures that every match, every achievement, and every hour played contributes meaningfully to your overall account growth.           PODIUM SYSTEM NEW The Podium System is designed to highlight top player performance at the end of every match. At the conclusion of each map in DM (Deathmatch), HDM (Hard Deathmatch), and OS (Old School) modes, the top three players are automatically selected and displayed on a dynamic podium.   The three highest-ranked players appear in order of their final placement: 🥈 2nd Place Left position 🥇 1st Place Center position 🥉 3rd Place Right position   Each winner is showcased with a customized Infernus vehicle, adding a unique and prestigious visual reward to their achievement. To further enhance immersion and style, animated character actions (PED animations) are integrated into the podium scene. These animations are available through the Marketplace, allowing for expressive and engaging victory celebrations.     Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 2026.02.26 - 19.25.35.06.mp4 Grand Theft Auto San Andreas 2026.02.26 - 19.24.23.05.mp4       DAILY MAPS EVENT SYSTEM NEW The Daily Maps Event System is designed to bring constant competition and fresh challenges to players every single day. Every 24 hours, a random map is automatically selected for each of the three game modes: HDM (Hard Deathmatch) DM (Deathmatch) OS (Old School) This means players have three different daily challenges running simultaneously, each with its own leaderboard and rewards.   HOW IT WORKS A new random map is assigned to each game mode every 24 hours. Players compete throughout the day to achieve the best possible performance. Completing the map grants an instant reward of 20 TFC. At the end of the 24-hour cycle, final rankings are locked and rewards are distributed to the Top 3 players of each mode.   TOP 3 REWARDS 🥇 1st Place $30,000 1 Random Chest 🥈 2nd Place $20,000 1 Random Chest 🥉 3rd Place $10,000 1 Random Chest             SHOOTER ARENAS & COMPETITIVE IMPROVEMENTS NEW We are introducing a brand-new Shooter arena, along with major gameplay adjustments and reward rebalancing to improve competitiveness and player satisfaction.

1. Tell us about yourself:  My real name is Nick, im living in northern Germany - Schleswig Holstein. I'm a wholesaler, dealing with raw materials and I'm leading the tile section.  In my freetime I like to spend my time in my garden, go to the gym, read some books or spend time with my friends.   2.What's your MTA history? I've started playing MTA long time ago. To be more precise, back in 2008. Been playing here and there, mostly on EPG and XIII back then. Always been a bigger fan of race-types. Roleplay was too boring for me. 2010 I moved with my friends to ffs and since then I've never really played anywhere else.  3.What clans have you been part of, and why did you leave them? I founded my own Clan Fucking Xtreme (FX) in 2010 which never really went official. It was more of a group of great people that created a great time together. There was a crazy time where we set up a server and stuff, but it didn't really end well. So it was more of a community clan in ffs (as hard as it sounds for me..) In 2016 I got the chance to be part of FFS Gaming, which I left in 2019 due to internal problems and how things went their way. Used to be Junior there before (and after my Membership as well? I really can't remember) which was also some administration role, but weaker. When I was Member I used to be the Head of various things, such as OS, Map Testing, Juniors etc.   4.Why do you want to join The Favoured Few? I've had a talk with Avi. I know a few faces here and maybe could be a helping hand.   5.What can you offer us? I kinda found the fun in mapping again and also collected loads of maps over the time.  Haven't checked the uploaded ones yet, maybe I got some stuff I could add.  Also I'm an experienced admin and I would say I'm a loyal and fun guy.   6.Anything else you'd like to add: Not really. If something is missing, hit me up.
