ColdThugZ 4 Life
December 2006 - June 2008
As some of you may know, ColdThugZ where one of the first permenant gangs on Las Venturas Playground, together with B&A. Both rival gangs used to have constant battles for the Gang Base when it was first introduced. Pretty evenly matched, the winners where always different!

On the 25th of March 2008, Saint, the orginal gang founder teamed up with Jay, the current gang leader on an attempt to bring the bank up on the streets. ColdThugZ where doing well. We where recruiting new members, had a brand new server & gamemode to train on, and as far as members of the Coldthugz where concerned, we where back. We had average daily member counts on of ~ 4+ members, and this number was increasing all the time as more and more members where joining. We started to have 'classic' gang wars on Las Venturas Playground again, and it was all about who won the base.
We even made Two Unannounced return Movies:

And where even prepearing a brand new website & forum!
We where returning, all our members where active, and we where doing good. However this only lasted for approx. 2 weeks. After so, the gang slowly began to fade again due to inactivity. on further attempts to recruit, it failed.
Gang History
Thanks to Makaveli for writing 90% of it:
1st Age
ColdThugz [Also known as: The Thugz/CT] is a gang founded at the end of December, by Saint. The ColdThugz gang was born out of hater ed for the B&A Clowns, which back then had total control over LVP. As Saint was getting tired of getting gang banged by clowns, and seeing there was not a single gang who could cope with them, he decided to try make the diffrence and create a gang that would be able to stand up and make gang banging fun again. When he saw Chickens getting slaughterd, he decided to ask Grove, theyr leader to join up with him and make CT. The thugz where led back then by founder, Saint and co-founder Grove. In short time CT took over and the actual goal was already reached, B&A finaly had competition to worry about. In short time CT took over and things where going well for a time.
After an argument with Grove and some other members, Saint left and Grove became leader of CT. Some people stopped playing later due to personal problems and lack of motivation and organistation. After the new co-leader, Hotshot had a pc crash, Grove was left alone with few. Those members eventually turned out to get the 'Legend' trait. These people where awarded this status becaus they was there from the begining and didn't quit in hard times.
2nd Age
In february, CT got back on their feet and started recruiting again. Some members tried to get in, which eventually got in. Some of these where 'Pez' (Stone_Cold), Goat6 (Goat), Makaveli, LowlandJR, Chaos#Wolf ([NB]ChaosWolf), Bandit>PArAdoX (Bandit), [c]ave_[m]an ([cave][man]). Goat6, being one of the 'oldest' members went up promoted to co-leader. After a good week and a few days, Makaveli also got promoted to Head Council after being talked about by the leaders, and being asked by Grove (Grove, [SiN]Grove). In that time, some people left the gang, like P_U_F_I and yeray (YeraY). A new gang had rised, known as O&B. They decided to join it. Being lead by Pancakeman, Waffleman and CT founder Saint. Saint left after few days becaus of O&B fusing with B&A. After that killerbee[NL] and [c]ave_[m]an, got promoted to council. After Simen being inactive, Goat6 got promoted to co-leader, and Makaveli got promoted again, to co-leader also. Also fellow members Bandit>PArAdoX and [SiN]ChaosWolf (Chaos#Wolf), gotten promoted to council, and leaving killerbee[NL] and [c]ave_[m]an promoted to Head Councils.
CT became very strong again, having a majoroty of members in top clans. Small time after Goat6 got promoted he became inactive again, leaving Grove to give his postion to killerbee[NL], making him co-leader. Other people started comming to LVP server, some clans, known as [W], [NB], and [SiN]. SiN and W started helping CT against the many Clowns & Oldies wich lasted until June. In mid-June, Makaveli got promoted to leader, together with Grove. killerbee[NL] & Bandit got promoted to co-leaders. [cave][man] & Wazza stayed in the Head Council position (since Wazza is also admin on Pugs RL server). Sammo and Simen were councils. Eventually, ChaosWolf left [SiN] after a fued with a member and went to [NB]. He had also left CT 2 days after that. In the period May-June-Juli, many people had left B&A/ONB and gone inactive which made B&A/O&B very weak, near dead. Since CT had recruited and was skyrocking with 47 Members in total. Eventually, Ronald_McDonald, B&A leader stopped with LVP/SA:MP becaus of personal reasons. Buhu also left same as deguz, and [GoT]DirectX. Slowly after, Salvo also lost his intrest in the game and also left B&A. Borat had quit O&B and SA:MP, Pancakeman got too busy with his work, so YeraY and estroe where left as leaders. B&A had currently Tmuts, and s0mb0dy as leaders. CT took advantage of this and dominated the server for a short time. This didn't last long and on September 22nd, CT got closed. RIP
3rd Age
On the 25th of March, original founder Saint, now known as Alcoholic decided to make a come-back and together with Grove and Cave they restarted CT. With a new image, new members and new rules CT where back on track and thought they would be for a long time to come. ColdThugZ where doing well. We where recruiting new members, had a brand new server & gamemode to train on, and as far as members of the Coldthugz where concerned, where back. We had average daily member counts on of ~ 4+ members, and this number was increasing all the time as more and more members where joining.
However, this return completely failed. After a few weeks our members became inactive again, including one of the leaders (Saint) and therefore the gang just fell apart again & died.
