Welcome!
Your story reminds me of my first days on Altis. That first altercation with the police put me on the straight and narrow, and lead to a wonderful Law Abiding life. The hobo's became less annoying, and more of a curiosity. As for the Apples... Some things never change.
I'd recommend reading the rules again if you haven't already, I've been here well over a year and just last night I was going over them again to make sure they're still cauterised to my retinas.
If you need any help or advice, we have a fantastic Mentor team. Just jump into the 'Requesting Staff Help' room at the top of ts.
I wish you all the best here, I'm sure I'll see you around.
