HOA/Connections and Enemies

The HOA are well-connected and have ties to many other groups and organizations throughout the city. Forming legal and illegal partnerships alike. They have also developed numerous allies and enemies during the group's existence.

2.0:

 * In addition to being contracted as their security service, Payne Real Estate later employed the HOA as movers to clear foreclosed houses of the prior tenant's possessions before the home was resold.
 * On March 17th, 2020 the legal partnership between Payne Real Estate and the HOA was dissolved; it became a private, personal relationship unbeknownst to any legal entities. This was the result of the overt criminal activities conducted by the EU HOA subdivision, of which brought unwanted police attention towards Matthew Payne.
 * Premium Deluxe Motorsport formerly employed the HOA in a similar manner repossessing vehicles.
 * Vangelico's Fine Jewelry formerly employed the HOA to provide security on the premises before adding key-card locks to their front doors.
 * Harmony Repairs Garage, with the help of two HOA-affiliated mechanics, Jesus Antonio Lopez Contreras and Fiona Stewart, set up an exclusive partnership between the two entities. The HoA got 50% off all repairs at the garage as long as the group sent their vehicles up there for repair. They had a relationship with QuickFix, but due to the place eventually shutting down it was rendered useless.

3.0:

 * The Digital Den and the HoA are business partners, mostly because they are within walking distance of each other. Although since its opening the two businesses have yet to cooperate on anything, with the Digital Den often being staffed by locals during the HoA's active time zone.
 * With Karina Dawn being the clean member of HoA, she uses her status to procure oil from RON Corp and sell it to the Mirror Park Gas Station.
 * The HoA allowed various people to establish their businesses in Mirror Park, from Shrugway Sandwiches, Clean Getaway Soap Co., and Hoe Depot. These partnerships were established in the hopes that they attract people to come to Mirror Park.
 * Siz and Otto's Autos head Mila Smoak and James Randal established a radio recharge deal where the HoA would bring broken or uncharged radios to Otto's Autos so they would be repaired or recharged for a fee.

2.0:

 * Sahara International developed a business relationship with Siz Fulker and by extension the HOA. Sahara sold guns to Siz at wholesale prices and Siz, with the help of fellow HoA members were able to push powerful automatic weaponry into the streets of San Andreas.

3.0 (Active):

 * The HoA and The Chaos, primarily through Siz, have a business relationship where Chaos provides the HoA with thermite, class two armaments, ammunition, etc.
 * With Siz being out of the meth game, Lilith took the reins. She drops off meth to GSF upon request, continuing their months-long deal, if not she distributes bags to the HOA for them to push in Mirror Park or to stockpile for meth runs. The meth cooking process changed significantly (which stymied the SAC Deal), causing the HoA to lose access to the two shared labs. However, Lilith was given permission to cook at the Lost MC's meth lab.

3.0 (Defunct):

 * Siz sold bags of meth to The Families (GSF) at their request. He dropped off meth around 2-3 times a week, more if needed. The money acquired was then distributed to HoA members who participated in cooks and the remaining is deposited in Siz 's bank account. This was replaced by the arrangement agreed on with the SAC.
 * The HoA and the Bolingbroke Lifers developed a business relationship with the help of John Miller (a.k.a. Turbo). Turbo, under the guise of Dodo Logistics, provides commissary to the lifers ranging from money to poison. In exchange, the life rs smuggle: ketamine, potato launchers, and cleaning supplies to the HoA. The latter being the most important item as it is needed for their meth operation. Due to meth production changing and Turbo no longer working for Dodo, this deal was largely abandoned.
 * Siz developed a budding relationship with Natural Born Crackheads leader Guy Jones where Siz and any HoA member would call him up if they see any unaffiliated people doing oxy runs. Furthermore, they offer thermite at a slight price mark -up when needed. Furthermore, NBC reached out to the HoA about doing more jobs and criminal activities together. Though not much interaction has occurred.
 * Siz established a methamphetamine partnership with Flippy's Crew in the early months of 3.0 as they shared the Optimus Prime Lab Key. If and when available, Siz and Flippy's Crew did meth runs where they offloaded bags of meth for a lot of m oney. They further expanded this relationship with the Lost MC, sharing two keys between three groups allowing them to increase output. This alliance between the three major groups aptly named themselves the "San Andreas Cartel" also known as the SAC. All three crews lost access to the two shared labs after the new the process to create meth was implemented. The three crews still cooperate albeit very rarely.
 * After the HoA discovered that the Ballas have been actively growing weed at the Mirror Park Hillside, the two groups struck a deal that let the Ballas continue growing weed in exchange for free joints. The HOA purchase weed from GSF and they push it at Mirror Park. They stopped pushing it at ULSA after changes to drug dealing occurred and with Stanley and Joey Toes growing their own weed to supply the group, this was ultimately abandoned.

Current Allies
The Families


 * Initially on shaky terms after Siz caught them double dipping numerous times in the cocaine game, the Families and the HoA have built a strong business partnership and long-term intergang relationship at the start of the new city. The Families purchase large bags of methamphetamine from the HoA and they push it to the streets, the gang calls them up for drops when needed (usually numerous times per week). Furthermore, many GSF members have built up interpersonal relationships with HoA members, for example Lilian Mackenzie and Carter Banx are close knit with many HoA members. Carter also calls Siz his shadow OG and Lilian is the daughter of former High Command, Huckleberry Guthrie and a follower of the Lady of the Lake.

The Frat


 * Though a majority of its members are now largely inactive, the Frat was one of the HoA's allies in 2.0 since the opening of the Taco Shop. Many of the members were cooks and runners for the shop during the timezone Siz and Wayne ran. The Frat proved to be a great ally, so they were granted many things such as housing from Julio; money from Wayne and Siz; and a plethora of weapons. Some Frat members eventually even joined the HoA (Kleb and TO).

The Guild

Natural Born Crackheads
 * The Guild and the HoA were initially wary of each other during the early stages of Siz 's and CB 's methamphetamine operations, though they have grown to be allies especially after Denzel and Andi got married. The Guild and HoA often get into lighthearted shenanigans like vandalizing each other's properties or fighting each other before tsunami.

Bondi Boys MC
 * As described in the Former Enemies section th e NBC and the HoA weren 't a lways all ies, however s everal months after the described incident both groups eventually normalized relations. Guy Jones initially reached out to Siz as a thermite middleman, asking if they needed thermite and protection during oxy runs. It eventually expanded to Peanut and some of the NBC members reaching out to the entirety of the HoA and asking if they would like to do jobs or criminal activities together, growing that relationship even further.


 * In 3.0 the HoA and the BBMC did not significa ntly inte ract with one anot her due t o dif fering sc hedules, until early August 2022 when former leader Irwin Dundee attempted to bait the HoA into a conflict. After Dante Thomas unexpectedly volunteered to become his "bitch" during Dundee's conflict with Cleo Shaw, the former daughter of his Enforcer Collin McKinley. Siz cracked down on the club assisting Dundee with his personal vengeance plans and Siz and Dundee later hashed out the matter on 8/17/22. A  few days later Andi's brother, BBMC VP Barry Benson, along with McKinley, shot and blooded out Dundee. Barry became the new leader on the BBMC on 9/17/22. Andi and Barry brought the HoA and the BBMC closer together, until by 2023 they saw each other as "sister clubs" with a strong allyship. The HoA call the BBMC PM "Uncle Barry" and there are strong familial ties between many members - Siz's grandson is Edbert Ropeburn and Mayumi's brother Jesse Reed and brother-in-law Terrance Walker are also BBMC members. The BBMC protected Andi against the killer Richard Fritz and the groups have done several high-level jobs together.

Former Allies
Angels


 * The HoA and the Angels had maintained a friendly relationship since the latter's founding as Siz is the adoptive grandson of Claire Seducer, the leader of the Angels. Siz eventually wanted to purchase the Angels ' brand in late 2020, wanting to make them a wing of the HoA and because of this he constantly badgered various members of the group to strike up a deal (although no deal was ever agreed upon). Friendly relations with the Angels were briefly soured in December 2020 due to a war that broke out between the two groups (described in the "Former Enemies" section below). After the conclusion of that conflict, which members of both groups actually found to be quite fun, relations quickly recovered. By 4/23/21 the two groups actually formalized an alliance after declining a request from the HoA to merge with the Angels; a proposal made in a desperate attempt to get HoA members at the time to do anything. This makes them the HoA's only ally that was also a former enemy and the only ally that has thus far saved the HoA from dissolution, even if incidentally (as their declining of the latter merger proposal forced the HoA to face their difficulties at the time, allowing them time to eventually solve them and survive as an independent group). Although, since the formation of the alliance the two groups began to drift apart and eventually rarely interacted with one another by 2022. This was mostly due to the Angels themselves largely becoming civilian s and also waking up less often. Thus, by 1/21/22 most of the HoA barely had an opinion on the group (with Siz himself actually harboring distaste for them over their prolonged inactivity) and they were no longer considered allies. Over the next few weeks this evolved into outright hate and Siz began actively discussing how to further destabilize the Angels. By mid-March they also began attempting to recruit Angel Lexi Law into the HoA (without success).

Vagos


 * They were allies prior to the economic collapse because of Speedy's and Siz's very close relationship and Siz being second in command of the Vagos during their rebuilding phase. The Vagos provided the g roup with guns, cocaine, and weed upon request. Though in 3.0 they slowly grew apart as the HoA rarely saw active Vagos members due to differing sleep schedules, in addition to OG Vagos members who they knew leaving. As a result, by early 2022 both groups had moved on from one another and rarely interacted, but still maintained cordial relations when they did.

Lost MC

Chang Gang Flippy's Crew
 * The third head of the triangular meth operation called "The SAC", the Lost was one of the HoA's longest standing allies dating before the great economic collapse. The Lost provided the HoA wi th class-2 armaments upon request, additionally the Lost also allowed Siz access to their compound in Sandy where the group used to store the keys used to unlock the private labs, and later as the location where their meth tables were placed. Though they rarely met, many HoA members were close friends with the Lost. Lilith Ailhart hanged out with the Lost and sometimes even did illegal activities with them (kidnapping, etc.) and Andi Jones was friends with many of the Lost's command members and some were even willing to protect Andi in times of need.
 * Though these two groups were long-term allies, the HoA's opinion of the Lost slowly eroded throughout 2022 and by 10/5/22 their alliance had run its course and the two groups were now on sour terms. This was the culmination of a history of mistakes made by the Lost that: revealed many of the HoA's secrets and/or intentions to parties unaffiliated with the group or ineptitude/inaction that caused harm to the HoA. The first instance was when a Lost prospect leaked that Ant was the orchestrator of the MC Summit to PDM (they were the reason why the summit was called); the second instance was when the Lost, primarily Rudi, decided to make a deal wi th Cerberus and deliberately throwing Andi under the bus stating the proposals made were not to their liking; and the third instance was when a Lost member accidentally uttered to Odessa Pearson that the HoA made moonshine, but corrected himself saying the HoA made mead. Their relationship took more tumbles after the HoA discovered that Michael Simone was murdered by Reed Dankleaf, days after they found out that the Lost let him walk. Furthermore, former Lost Prospect Sai Carter and Elizabeth Byrne threatened to harm Lilith after she was with Seaside and Nicolas Simone while they were torturing the duo. At this point relations between the two groups were at an all time low, with the alliance only being maintained for the purpose of allowing Lilith 's meth operation to continue. Furthermore, Siz 's personal disdain for the Lost grew further when he went to visit the body of Michael at the morgue. He came in berating the Lost stating that they could have prevented this and that Rudi essentially did nothing but stay in their Stab City Compound. This later became the breaking point after Elizabeth finally decided to kidnap Lilith on 10/3/22, with the group officially cutting off cordial relations with the Lost on 10/5/22 when Lilith was rescued.
 * Initially at arms length prior to the economic collapse, the 3.0 update required all c onflict t o be forgotten. This resulted in Chang Gang and the HoA developing a very strong relationship in 3.0 after circumstances brought them together. Their relationship was budding when many of the HoA's closest friends at the time (Flippy, Curtis, Miguel, and Novah) were made full members of Chang Gang, it eventually spiraled into a full-blown partnership when Siz became a member of The Chaos and when Freddy imparted knowledge of the VAR Heist to CG. Chang Gang currently supplies Siz (and in turn the HoA) with cocaine.
 * Th e HoA and Flippy's Crew (aka Shnake Gang or Hydra) have been allies since the gang's inception in 2020, after Flippy left the Vagos. Both organizations reside in Mirror Park and many members of both groups have built relationships with one another. The HoA and Flippy's Crew, alongside the Lost, have developed a meth business partnership that allows each group to cook in two private labs when need be to increase output. Members of both groups often do collaborative jobs such as robbing banks and they also let each group know about new developments in the criminal underworld.
 * Though, tensions flared when Flippy told the HoA to put their guns away when he confronted Julio at the cul-de-sac, Daryl stated that they had no business telling them to pu t their guns away in their own territory. Hydra on the other hand said they claim the cul-de-sac as their own, claiming the HoA had previously given it to them. After catching wind of this, the HoA flat-out denied the latter and said that Hydra were only allowed to live there. As a result, Hydra began to verbally antagonize the HoA, angering Julio to the point of telling every HoA member to gear up for a possible skirmish with Hydra. Luckily, Siz managed to wake up and talk to Flippy, convincing him to find an unclaimed plot of land to establish their reputation from. Despite avoiding war and officially maintaining their alliance, most of the HoA was left with a sour taste in their mouths after this whole debacle. Although Miguel decided that he needed to further escalate an already resolved situation (i.e.: still shooting while the HoA were pushing meth and being aggressive towards HoA members that were not Siz); which got him blacklisted from all of the HoA's businesses and was given the [REDACTED] treatment (similar to how the group treated the ESB in late 2020).
 * Tensions flared once more after Miguel Almerion began stirring again. Managing to successfully remove Lilith Fulker from the group and stabbing Andi Jones after kidnapping her.

Adam Prince/The Saints

 * Adam became an enemy of the HoA on 3/25/22 after he purposefully got Gumbus McGoo to plead guilty to his terrorism charges as revenge for not paying him back some money he gave to the latter. This was particularly bad for the HoA, as Gumbus pleading guilty foiled his accomplices' plans to contest their terrorism charges through HoA Court. This was later further compounded on by the discovery that Adam made threats to "blow up the tavern" and begin attacking the HoA in general should they attempt to pursue him over this matter. Seeing as the Mirror Park Tavern was already destroyed, this only confused and further angered the HoA. After receiving Speedy 's blessing (as Adam was his middleman to distribute weapons) the HoA started hunting him. As the days passed on from the terrorism incident, Thom and Julio eventually turned themselves in as HoA Court for their terrorism case was denied by the Senate. On the day that the terrorist duo were going to turn themselves in, the group caught wind of Prince being awake and in the city. He had been posting tweets of him drunk in a beach up north, so the group went out to find him. They asked two of his closest confidants: his future ex-wife and former mayor, Emma Gaine and best friend James Arsenal to see if they could possibly lure him out. Gaine immediately revealed the HoA's plans to Prince whereas Arsenal tried his best to set him up, but due to Prince's paranoia he was unable to. Upon hearing of Gaine's actions, Julio ordered her kidnapping they could confront her and question why she exposed the HoA's plans to Prince. Gillea and Simon kidnapped Gaine and took her up to the beaches of Paleto where the group struck a deal to spare her in exchange to setup Prince. After this, Julio and Thom turned themselves in to get out on bail and roam the state without constantly having to evade the police. It wouldn't be until 4/9/22 until the group was next able to attempt to get their hands on Prince as he went into deep hiding. On that day the HoA discovered that Prince was being hidden by members of The Saints, specifically shooting up Billy Mang after he refused to cooperate in revealing the location of Prince. Although in a later phone call with Siz, Billy appeared to be convinced to cooperate after Siz threatened to continue to shoot up The Saints if they continued to harbor Prince. Earlier that day the HoA also broke into some of Mayhem 's apartments in Paleto while attempting to follow through on Mayhem's c onnection with Prince (who is a middleman for the group and has close ties with some of its members). On 4/11/22, The Saints decided that they wouldn't remain neutral in this conflict and retaliated against Siz 's ultimatum by going on the attack in Mirror Park. When Andi was alerted to this the same day she authorized the HoA to retaliate, initiating the HoA's conflict with The Saints. After several shootouts between the groups that day Luis actually managed to down Adam Prince himself (with The Saints at the time); the HoA then: planted a gun (one used in many shootouts) on him and left him to be found by the police. After receiving a lengthy sentence, Adam called Daryl from jail with the intent to conclude the conflict (seeing as he believed the HoA got their revenge on him). This led to a brief ceasefire while Andi checked to ensure that Gumbus (the person originally wronged by Adam) was satisfied with what occurred and to consult Siz on the matter. By the 15th Siz  (after no further encounters with Adam or The Saints) had come up with terms to conclude their conflict, demanding that Adam pay the fines caused to Gumbus plus an extra $100,000 worth of materials. On 6/13/22 after nearly two months of no hostile actions from The Saints (plus Julio managing to obtain several thousand materials from them several weeks before) Siz stated their conflict had concluded, so long as they did not further assist Adam (who the HoA were still hostile to).

Venus Fly Traps

 * This entire group became enemies of the HOA on 2/6/23. They originally caught the attention of the HOA several days beforehand when Julio Thomas got word that some of their members were wearing the then new HOA gang attire without permission. This resulted in Julio shooting down three of their members at the Alta Street apartments after they flatly refused to stop wearing the clothing when asked. On 2/6/23 the two groups held a meeting where VFT affirmed that they would continue to wear the clothing, which prompted the conflict when they posted a twatter picture of them in the HOA attire immediately afterwards.

The Fire Syndicate

 * After leaving the BBMC, Irwin Dundee founded a fire cult that eventually morphed into an MC. This new gang began provoking the HoA in Mirror Park, running over members with their convoy outside of the the Liquid Library and harassing them at their places of work. During an altercation at UwU Café in August 2023, Rod Long shot down Tommy Puff and his boys for threatening Hades, landing the second-in-command in ICU. This led to a melee war between the HoA and SYN.

The Russian Mafia

 * This was the one of the first groups the HOA conflicted with. They had once maintained a business-first relationship as Siz dealt coke to their leader, Boris Ivanov, but said relationship fell apart after a taxation dispute which resulted in a shootout at the southeastern end of the Port of Los Santos (what was then the claimed territory of the Russians, commonly known as the "docks"). The Russians and the HOA also engaged in another small skirmish over yet another taxation dispute at the docks when Siz did not want to pay their tax to use the decryption computer. The HOA and the Russian Mafia would not engage in warfare for the remainder of 2.0, although Siz still harbored a strong disdain for anybody affiliated with them. Julio Thomas started to develop a friendly relationship with the Russians through Olga Sazkaljovich, but since her departure from the group the two groups remained on rocky terms at best. In 3.0 the groups rarely interact with one another (as their sleep schedules no longer sync up) and as such are on neutral terms.

Black Betty, Inc.

 * Since the group first b ecam e kn own to the HOA there was considerable friction. This mainly had to do with the circumstances behind their introduction (that being their initial heavy resistance towards Daryl Dixon's recruitment into the HOA while still being apart of BB, fearing that HOA related issues would leak over into BB) and their purpose. (Being in the material market, a primary method of theirs to obtain materials was burglary of material rich homes in Vinewood and Mirror Park.) After the initial difficulties in Daryl's recruitment, Sonya Summers, the leader of BB, was later found burglarizing a Vinewood house and was shot down as punishment, with Gomer retrieving her body and vowing to report the incident to Payne (which resulted in nothing, as she was burglarizing Payne Real Estate properties). BB's continual burglary of homes caused a great deal of conflict well before the war even began, as Sonya began laying ambushes in anticipation of the HOA's arrival to a burglar alarm (with notable clashes between Sonya and the HOA). This behavior eventually led to all out war, with Daryl leading the charge in the first move of the conflict, a raid on BB's HQ (as they had never revoked his keys). Coincidentally, BB had actually already been planning an ambush outside the HOA Vinewood HQ (in retaliation for shooting down Sonya in the prior burglar incident she was caught for that also involved Gomer) and attacked the HOA as they came back from stashing the loot from the raid. After surviving the ambush and getting Daryl to Grandma's, Siz organized an ambush at an event held on a BB Vinewood mansion, shooting at any BB in the compound. However, this attack led to the arrest of both parties who then brawled it out in jail. After this incident BB took a turn for the worse and became a non-threat as their reputation (largely tied to Sonya's and Gomer's) continued to deteriorate. This, in conjunction with mounting police pressure and the eventual public exposure of the illicit side of BB caused Sonya and Gomer to leave BB. Relations between Gomer and Siz/the HOA would improve after his departure from BB, but for the remainder of 2.0 Sonya still elicited a negative response in the HOA.

Misfits

 * Outto-Tune Tyrone, then recently kicked out of the South Side with his gang and wanting to establish a monopoly over the materials market, began burglarizing their new neighborhood and inevitably ran into an HOA patrol in Vinewood. Regular processing of Misfit burglars soon became a common trend for the HOA and an effort was started to determine their base of operations. It was quickly seen that the Misfit's own HQ was located some distance up the road from the HOA HQ, and plans for raids on the compound were put into motion. However, several days beforehand OTT himself (along with a few lackeys) were caught by an HOA patrol that included Kray-Tor while burglarizing one of the Vinewood mansions; they were executed by the same patrol as punishment in the Vinewood Reservoir. Eventually the HOA took the fight to the Misfits, resulting in multiple shootouts at the latter's mansion HQ and multiple street battles (one of which resulted in the kidnapping of OTT). The conflict came to a close after the Misfits shifted time zones to escape the HOA's interference in their burglaries. Eventually the group disbanded altogether, with OTT leaving to join the ESB.

Angels

 * The chain of events that caused the HoA and the Angels to briefly become enemies in December 2020 was when former HoA hangaround Blaine Burke joined the Angels after he felt that he was disrespected a nd underval ued by the HoA. The two groups' relationship then turned sour when Blaine hired Mike Block to kill the HoA and in retaliation, the HoA hired Mike Block to kill the Angels. Furthermore, former Angels member Erin Cox hired Julio Thomas to kill Blaine thus creating more tension. The two sides eventually got into a melee combat only war with the Angels coming out on top 25 to 21. The loss resulted in Julio having to hang out with them for a week and sent Siz into a depressive slump that led to a several month long bout of obesity. By 3.0 relations with the group had significantly improved, to the point where they formed an alliance with the HoA on 4/23/21 after declining a proposal to merge. Although after several months of no significant interaction, relations deteriorated to the point where by 1/21/22 they were no longer considered allies of the HoA.

Lunatix MC

 * The HoA and the Lunatix went to war after Siz was shot at for trying to interfere in an attempted bank truck heist by the Lunatix and due to the HoA's use of the Lunatix ' cuts for disguises at a Paleto bank robbery job. However, since Ash Huddy Hudson's incarceration (and subsequent release) for drug trafficking, the animosity between the two groups "ended". The Lunatix, months after their conflict ended, even offered their services to the HoA. They said that they could offer the HoA anything from precious materials to oxycontin, although the HoA ended up never purchasing any significant amount of product from them. By the end of 2.0 the Lunatix rarely interacted with the HoA after they: suffered several police raids due to criminal informants exposing their operations, Ash Huddy Hudson getting deported, and the bulk of the remaining members opting to leave the state. By 3.0 the group was defunct, causing the HoA to have no real relations with them.

East Side Ballas/Arab Mafia

 * The HoA and Ballas were initially on relatively good terms as both groups were in a business relationship with one another since the ESB's founding. The HoA supplied them with cocaine, primarily from Siz, and also sold them small arms such as Heavy Pistols. However, their relationship quickly degraded after various members of ESB tried to instigate the HoA to engage in a war with them. Examples of instigating included Viper Rodriguez constantly harassing members of the HoA and Tyrone Biggums enabling this behavior. This lead to the entire group blacklisting and ignoring the ESB, only referring to them as [REDACTED]. Furthermore, their relationship became worse after the ESB robbed Fiona Stewart for being a friend of Miguel Almerion. Siz was initially wary of war, but due to other events that transpired on December 7th, 2020 (including the kidnaping and robbery of Nino Chavez, which prompted Saab to enter the war in retaliation) in conjunction with a subsequent threat to rob Fiona daily, his hands were forced. As a result, conflict also erupted with the Arab Mafia as that group was heavily allied to the ESB (with most having considered the Arab Mafia to simply be an extension of the ESB). The HoA entered into an alliance with Chang Gang, Schnake Gang, and Sahara International to fight the purple menace up until 12/16/20, when Drew Harrison (the then new leader of the ESB) met to announce his intention to cease hostilities and begin the effort to repair the horrid reputation his gang had acquired. One of the results of the conflict was Andi Jones'  pur chase of the LTD chain of gas stations on the island, opening the Skittle Street Gas Station in the location of the previous LTD gas station on Grove St., where members of the ESB and the Arab Mafia were illegally running their own operation. The ESB disbanded two days later after Drew Harrison was murdered by Vagos under the command of Sahara International.

Pogg Dann †

 * Pogg Dann was a long time annoyance of the HoA. Pogg 's ta ctics ranged from in cendiary tweets to actually vandalizing Mirror Park. Siz and the HoA even filed a small-claims lawsuit against Pogg after he was caught blowing himself up trying to destroy the motorcycles of the HoA. The HoA won the suit over Pogg Dann and he was given 30 days to pay $16,000, give over half of his Poggy Woggy Beer inventory, and relinquish partial custody of his son Lil' Kev. After the court case, Pogg Dann once again attacked the Tavern. As a result, the HoA intended to use those actions as evidence in another subsequent lawsuit against him. However, that lawsuit attempt did not go through (their lawyer had taken a break from the state at the time, so it was never officially filed) and their rivalry cooled to a stalemate. Pogg remained hostile to the HoA and Siz in particular up until his death on 1/2/21, with Siz actually shooting up his corpse with an AK on the day of his death shortly before cremation at the state morgue.

Bondi Boy MC

 * The HoA and the BBMC were initially on good terms with each other because of Siz's familial relationship with Irwin Dundee, their leader. However, the HoA's and BBMC's relationship had been slowly deteriorating. From Siz screwing over Dundee's car sales, Dundee potentially carrying out a $20k hit out on the HoA, and the HoA kidnapping Dundee for Jacob Harth and the Dark Web their relationship became quite sour, but not yet openly hostile. However, after former HoA hangaround, Douglas James, left the HoA in a disrespectful manner for BBMC the relations between the two groups quickly turned hostile. Siz declared war on the group to prove to Douglas, Dundee, and the BBMC that the HoA can stand up for themselves after hearing the claims that Douglas made towards the HoA that they did not stand up for themselves.' The HoA and BBMC conducted a "gentleman's war" for the remainder of 2.0, with the war concluding at the onset of the 3.0 phone update (with no real consequences for either side).'

Nerds

 * A nerd had the audacity to disrespect Fiona Stewart in front of Julio Thomas and was subsequently gunned down. Days later, the nerd and one of his nerd friends manipulated Claire Seducer into arrangin g a meeting with Fiona and Julio. At this meeting the nerds held the two up and beat them with a bat. After receiving medical treatment, Fiona, Julio, and Huckleberry “Huck” Guthrie hunted down the nerds and gunned them down with a PD assault rifle. The nerds subsequently declared war through a tweet. Not much happened since, but the two groups remained very much at odds until the 3.0 update.

Diamond Resort and Casino

 * Initially, the HoA was hired by Dean Watson and Otto Delmar to serve drinks at the Casino's grand-opening however their business relationship quickly deteriorated after a payment dispute for the HoA's bartending services. Dean paid Siz $45,000, even thoug h Si z initially quoted him $35,000 just for the drinks they sold. Days after the opening, the Casino tried to strongarm Siz into paying them back the supposed $35,000 he owned them, but their actions were unsuccessful. This feud was further escalated by Otto Delmar after he hit Siz across the head with a crowbar after Al Saab erroneously claimed that rumors of Dean defunding the military originated in the Tavern. The Casino called upon various groups and people to harass the HoA by the usage of intimidation tactics, assault, and the like. This resulted in the HoA calling the police, which prompted Randy Wrangler to open an investigation on a possible extortion scandal being conducted by the Casino's top-brass and to possibly uncover the corruption within the ranks of the police department influenced by the same business. After a shootout occurred between the police and Casino management on 2/25/21 (costing the latter over $200,000 to avoid jailtime by bribing Officer Andrews), Dean decided to settle his beef with the HoA as afterwards he considered their supposed "debt" to be meaningless. Though, 24 hours later the Casino sent goons from various groups to attack the HoA one last time.

Natural Born Crackheads

 * The Natural Born Crackheads became enemies of the HoA over the latter's defense of Andi Jones, who was an accomplice to the murder of Basem Shahin by Denzel Williams. While Andi was being held at Bolingbroke Penitentiary the HoA was tipped off about the NBC wanting to kidnap and murder Andi in retaliation, and so were expecting the conflict before it began. It began on 8/3/21 after the HoA picked up a recently released Andi from prison and confronted a suspicious individual (a NBC member in a blacked out disguise) staking out the entrance of the prison on a motorcycle in a bush. After being discovered, the HoA attempted to chase down the NBC member while the latter tried to keep their distance and tail the HoA. This went on for a few minutes, until the HoA realized they had no chance of catching the former in their vehicle (a pickup truck) and so instead decided to evade the latter and get Andi to a clothing store to change into a disguise. Shortly thereafter, the HoA was again spotted and so opted to setup an ambush at the Tavern (where they locked Andi inside for her own safety, although the NBC crew planned to blow open the door with C4). This confrontation ended in a victory for the HoA, as Andi remained safe and all the attacking NBC members were downed/arrested. After this immediate escalation, Siz talked with Saleem Shakib, the NBC leader, and arranged a meeting between the two groups in an attempt to convince them of Andi 's supposed innocence. Ultimately, the meeting solved nothing as the NBC remained convinced of Andi 's guilt and the war terms that they appea red to agree on during the meeting we re ignore d by the NBC. Th ey instead opted to continuously attack the HoA until they got their hands on Andi, starting with another shootout the next day. Luckily, later that day Julio managed to arrange a 72 hour ceasefire under the guise of giving the HoA time to find out who murdered Basem. Before this ceasefire could expire, the two groups made peace as Andi arranged a deal with Cerberus to compensate them for her actions (she was banned from all Cerberus affiliated businesses and made a promise to hand over her first born child to the group).

Pink Gang/Pitt Crew

 * While this group initially self identified as the "Pitt Crew", they became almost universally known as the "Pink Gang" by most of the state after their first encounter with the HoA (where Jesus Contreras misheard their gang name and reported "Pink Gang", instead of their actual gang name, to the rest of the HoA who then spread the "Pink Gang" name around the state). This group first encountered and became enemies of the HoA on 8/19/21 after they robbed Jesus at the Mirror Park Gas Station and claimed that they now "ran Mirror Park" and had never heard of the HoA. Shortly after Siz was informed of this encounter, Jesus spotted one of the individuals who robbed him driving through Mirror Park in a vehicle. Siz attempted to chase them down in his vehicle (with Jesus, Freddy, and Hades as passengers) but was immediately led to the nearby Mission Row Police Department by the fleeing Pink Gang member. The latter went on to circle back to MRPD four times before finally stopping in front of it once he saw that police were now chasing his pursuers (although the police presence did not deter Siz from shooting him with his shotgun). After this d isplay and subsequent incarceration, the HoA were now determined to find and root out Pink Gang from Mirror Park. They accomplished the first part of the latter within an hour of being released from jail; they had managed to kidnap a Pink Gang member named KJ Taylor, discovered that Miguel Almerion had a prior negative encounter with the group, and that Pink Gang recently moved into Jesus ' old house in Mirror Park. Siz told KJ that Pin k Ga ng wa s to leave Mirro r Pa rk and not return, although about 20 minutes later he was caught back at his house while transferring items between the home and his apartment. Siz robbed him and again demanded that Pink Gang move out of Mirror Park. Despite this warning, ten minutes later Jesus spotted two more individuals approaching the house, one of which ended up being the homeowner. Siz interrogated the two and upon discovering that one of them was the homeowner demanded that they sell the house; the homeowner did not concede and was promptly shot down. Before leaving Siz gave them another warning, stating that they would be shot down every day that they remained in Mirror Park. One day later the group sold their Mirror Park home and moved to Vinewood, which was thought to be the end of the conflict. However, Pink Gang had other plans and a few days later decided to start robbing the civilian workers at the Tavern. This restarted the conflict, with Daryl immediately retaliating by shitting on their front doorstep and hunting them down. In an effort to end the conflict, Pink Gang met with the HoA and had apologized on behalf of KJ Taylor, the primary instigator of the conflict, though not being content with words Siz and the HoA demanded a $100k payment from them to finally end the war. The Pink Gang refused to meet the HoA's demands, thus prolonging the conflict. As they tried to escape, they were promptly set ablaze by Freddy Fastfingers with a molotov and shot down by Kermy, Jesus, and Julio. After multiple one sided gun fights and ambushes against Pink Gang, on 9/13/21 Kian Mercer convinced the group to concede to the offer of $100k, and subsequently ended the conflict between the two. About one month later, the gang dissolved after the majority of their members either quit or were deported.

Condemned MC

 * The HoA first developed a hostility towards this group after formulating plans to move their base of operations to Paleto, where the Condemned operate out of. They originally planned to push out this rival group through subterfuge rather than direct confrontation, but Kleb, Huck, and Hades began shaking down (without approval from Siz and in opposition to their plan) employees of the Mojito Inn, a Condemned MC-owned business. This caused the Condemned to initially grow suspicious of Andi Jones (who they believed was the one who orchestrated the shakedown). Although neither side had yet publicly declared war on one another, the Condemned began making various threats via text to Andi and had begun inquiring about the HoA's involvement (although they attempted to avoid direct conflict due to their low numbers). On 6/22/21 a Mojito booth worker jokingly threatened Andi Jones with the amputation of her left arm while she was downed during a scooter accident, although it was interpreted as a serious threat by Andi. The HoA hired a private investigator to gather intel on the Condemned on 6/23/21, with Andi also attempting to escalate the conflict on 6/25/21 by tagging a Condemned home after they had tagged hers (to no avail as even though she was caught in the act, the Condemned attempted to downplay the severity of her actions). After being informed of this by Andi, Siz then further attempted to escalate the conflict by attacking the vendor manning the Mojito Inn stall at Dean World. The two sides went to war after Julio blasted one of the Mojito Inn employees with a shotg un in retaliation for the Condemned t agging an d egging Andi 's Paleto home. The conflict grew to involve multiple third party gangs after the Condemned partook in various reckless inflammatory actions that angered said groups, in addition to garnering the reputation of being snitches. Although by mid-July the conflict had died down as the HoA began focusing their efforts on other criminal activity, in addition to a sustained lack of actions/presence by the Condemned. However, near the end of July the Condemned briefly revived the conflict by robbing Julio while he was playing blackjack at the Diamond Resort and Casino. This action also angered the casino management, who put out a $10,000 bounty for each Condemned member downed (which was contracted to the Lost MC). Despite this action, the HoA's other duties (combined with a renewed lack of action by the Condemned) created another lull in the conflict. In fact, when the HoA finally shook down members of the Condemned in Paleto on 8/23/21, they discovered the latter had no idea they were even at war with the HoA. After another almost two week lack of action against the Condemned, the final conflict of the war was fought when the HoA caught Condemned members pushing meth near the Mirror Park area on 9/4/21. The resulting shootout directly led to a chain of events that got the Condemned raided by the police, causing several of their members to be held until trial pending their prosecution and the loss of a large quantity of their stockpiled illegal goods. The first war ended with a white peace on 9/10/21 after the Condemned leader Derek Bogart called Siz asking for clarification on the current relations between the two groups; Siz stated that the HoA no longer held any grudges with the Condemned as a whole (clarifying that they now only sought to punish Fritz Ericson for his role in creating and spreading a false note shortly after the war began that claimed the HoA were meth distributors). Despite this overall group peace, on 10/2/21, the groups had a skirmish up in Paleto after one of the Condemned's prospects (Gabriel Crow) walked into the HoA's Paleto bank robbery attempt and acted belligerent towards Freddy and Daryl. Hours after the robbery, the HoA members Daryl, Siz, Julio, and Freddy drove up to Paleto to search for the Condemned member. This resulted in: Daryl and Siz killing eight Condemned members, Freddy getting shot, Julio going to jail, and them finding and killing Gabriel Crow (dumping his body in a river near Mount Chiliad).


 * A brief second war against the Condemned began on 10/21/21 and ended on 10/23/21 after Ant and Kian were shot down (alongside Bjorn and Denzel) while they were at Paleto. The same day, the opening (and only) move of the war was an assault on the CMC members in Paleto by the HoA (conducted by members Siz, Lilith, Julio, and Freddy). Unlike the prior Paleto attack on 10/2/21, the HoA only managed to down a few CMC members (3 out of 4) before Siz ordered a withdrawal (with their own losses - Julio went down) as he was unable to withstand the poor level of communications from his fellow members over the radio. With no further actions from the Condemned, the war concluded on 10/23/21 when the CMC opted to dissolve after their recently elected president, Derek Bogart, was deported from the state that day. Shortly afterwards several former members of the Condemned formed a new MC called Mayhem, which the HoA simply treated as a rebranded CMC (since Mayhem claimed the same territory and had the almost the same leadership of the former CMC).

The Homeless

 * Since their founding the HoA had a policy that banned homeless people from ever entering or setting up shop in Mirror Park. Though, the homeless just ignored their warnings and still entered, which annoyed the HoA even further. The homeless have defecated at the Mirror Park Tavern; held up multiple workers at the Mirror Park Gas Station forcing them to tweet out pro-hobo propaganda; and had defecated in front of other peoples' homes. This riled up the HoA causing them to enact armed response towards the homeless menace. For the first few months after the 3.0 update, the homelessness problem was largely rectified and the HoA stopped encountering homeless vagrants in San Andreas. Although, this respite did not last forever and by August the homeless had once again established a presence in the state. Despite this, the HoA's stance on the homeless became much more apathetic for a variety of reasons. In fact, after 11/30/21 Siz began actively attracting the homeless to his home in Mirror Park (specifically to a newly constructed tent camp he christened "Siz Row" as a reward for participation in his clinical trials).

The Stable

 * The HoA maintained a friendly relationship with everyone in The Stable (as they were warehouse neighbors) except for Stable Hand Abner Vaca. The HoA caught Abner cornering meth in Mirror Park under the orders of Stable newcomer Jaxxon Jones. The HoA let Abner go with a warning, and after Freddy Fastfingers told Stable leader Dick Chiclets he kicked Jaxxon out of The Stable. Abner angered the HoA again by robbing random strangers, leading them to shoot him, Kirk Jerkems, and Rocky Topps down. Unbeknownst to The Stable, Jesus Antonio Lopez Contreras was the one who outed "The Stable" name to Jeffrey Bundy during a failed false flag ploy to save the HoA warehouse from a police raid. Bundy later sleuthed who The Stable was after he raided of half of their members (on an unrelated investigation) and subpoenaed their text messages. The HoA and The Stable didn't interact again until fake police officers Abner, Kirk, and Chatterbox robbed Holden in late November 2021. After finding out they were responsible, the HoA declared war on the entire group on November 29th, 2021, setting peace terms of 15,000 materials by December 5, 2021. Although before any fighting could occur, The Stable paid the materials to Lilith Ailhart on 12/5/21. The Stable later disbanded and members dispersed to other gangs.

Mayhem

 * Since their creation from the former Condemned MC, relations between the HoA and Mayhem were sketchy at best. While no longer at war, they inherited the HoA's prior stance towards the CMC as Mayhem had almost the same people leading the group. By late November, Anna Swallows (an associate of Mayhem) attempted to rally the MCs of the state against The Stable under the pretense that they were false flagging as the HoA. Not knowing if this was true, and suspicious as to why she cared in the first place, the HoA decided to begin hostilities with Mayhem on 11/29/21. Several hours later on 11/30/21, after finding out Anna 's claim was false, the HoA went to the Andi Jones Farmers Market in an effort to interrogate Mayhem members to find out Anna 's motivations. This action resulted in a mass execution of several Mayhem and stall workers at the Farmers Market who tried to intervene. Siz and Stanley, being high on metamorphine at the time, were the only HoA members downed in the shootout. Later the same day, in two phone calls between Mayhem leader Fritz and Siz, the latter issued a demand of either: 15,000 raw materials, 5,000 refined materials, or for Mayhem to deliver Anna Swallows to the HoA to end the conflict. However, before the HoA could resume the conflict, on 12/2/21 Mayhem vice president Mattias Nilson called Siz and after a lengthy conversation and an ultimatum from Siz, claimed that Mayhem would personally order Anna to seek restitution with the HoA by 12/6/21. After hearing this unexpected change in mindset, Siz ordered a halt to further hostilities to see if Mayhem would follow through. The HoA waited until 12/7/21, by which point Mayhem opted to instead lure Anna to the HoA rather than forcibly bring her to them as Mattais implied they would. Siz expressed his confusion to Mattias at this course of action and in yet another phone call from the latter demanded that he directly tell her she was going to meet the HoA to die. This was then followed by a phone call from Anna herself, who managed to implicate Mayhem as the ones who gave the HoA faulty information. Wanting to confirm this, Siz led an HOB attack on Paleto to confront Mayhem. After a brief skirmish where Mattias was shot by Siz and kidnapped, the attack ended in yet another ceasefire as the booth workers they talked to claimed the events Anna described never occurred, in addition to Mattias expressing a desire to seek retribution against Anna for throwing Mayhem under the bus with her accusation. Wanting to give them the chance to seek this retribution, Siz told Mattias the war would end once Mayhem managed to have Siz witness them dealing with Anna. This occurred later the same day, when Anna, Mayhem, and the HoA met together to hear her explanation. In this meeting she: put the blame on the booth workers at the time (who she claimed had said they witnessed the false flagging), retracted/denied making most of her previous statements, apologized, and walked off after almost 50 minutes of discussion. Mayhem stated that they lost they're trust in her and would think about following through on her murder. Unknown to Anna the HoA actually planted a poisoned letter in her mailbox shortly before the meeting, this hospitalized her when she read it a few hours later.

Unified Police Department

 * While the police have always been on some level a de-facto enemy of the HoA since their founding, 1/7/22 was the first day the HoA decided to take a unilaterally hostile stance against the entire department (rather than against select officers). This occurred due to an attempt that same day to raid HoA properties based solely on wildly insufficient evidence (in this case, their only evidence was a simple report that a crime occurred and confirmation of the HoA's identities). Julio Thomas issued the first warning to the police while he was in custody, stating that the otherwise civil treatment they had received would quickly be revoked should they pursue their attempt at a raid for such flimsy reasons (which they did). The next day Julio also drew first blood by shooting down an officer he spotted in front of the Digital Den. By the end of the day the HoA's demand to cease this organized hostility was for Lt. Matthew Espinoz (the officer who pushed for the problematic raid warrant) to sell his Mirror Park house. A few days later on the ninth, a one day truce was organized after a meeting between several members of the HoA and the PD. The war would conclude on 1/11/22 after another meeting with the PD, also involving Espinoz, where they lured him into a trap by convincing him the conflict would be resolved by working at the Mirror Park Tavern an hour a day for a week. In reality, Siz and company captured Espinoz, held him in the Tavern, and planted a bundle of C4 explosives with a five minute timer at his feet. A shootout between the HoA and the PD then took place throughout Mirror Park and the surrounding hillside a few minutes after the C4 detonated, with it ending in an HoA victory when the remaining PD forces surrendered (offering to exchange Siz, who they shot down and apprehended, for all the other downed officers in Mirror Park). With the HoA getting revenge against Espinoz, Siz decided this was a good note to end the conflict on and declared peace with the PD, letting them know as much while he was downed in their custody.

Gulag Gang

 * GG became an enemy of the HoA after stabbing several people at Dante Thomas ' wedding on 4/29/22 out of boredom. Conflict began immediately afterwards as HoA members guarding the wedding shot down, robbed, and then ocean dumped the members of GG who attempted to continue stabbing. After hearing what happened to his members, GG 's second in command Marty Banks decided that they would begin hostilities against the HoA in retaliation; although before this could happen Siz attempted to quickly resolve the conflict by contacting Marty to discuss the situation. This resulted in the HoA returning the items they took off of the GG members in a handoff in front of the Liquid Library in Mirror Park. This threw off GG 's initial plan to ambush the HoA as the latter was closely guarding Mirror Park in anticipation of hostilities. About twenty minutes later GG attempted to plant hidden cameras at the Mirror Park Gas Station, but were caught while attempting to do so. Further hostilities erupted a few hours later when GG blew up Julio with a grenade, after which Marty appealed to Siz to conclude the conflict (citing their inability to contest the HoA in Mirror Park). This latest appeal from Marty caused a great deal of indecisiveness within the HoA on whether to actually continue with the conflict, even from Julio himself despite being attacked directly by GG. This was resolved an hour later, concluding that they wanted to continue after a group wide meeting at the Mirror Park Dam. Immediately after that meeting the HoA was ambushed by GG at the Mirror Park Gas Station and, although they were able to down all the GG attackers, several HoA were taken into police custody after being downed. Several hours later GG ambushed the HoA again in Mirror Park, where they patrolled around and attacked members as they attempted to leave from/return to their homes. This action resulted in a large skirmish around the LL where the HoA managed to again push out GG, although not before they downed Stanley and pissed on DRL 's Supra. By 4/30/22 after more skirmishes that day, cracks had begun to form in the HoA's resolve to actually continue the conflict (despite the consensus arrived at the dam meeting the day prior). This resulted in a group meeting at the LL hours later where High Command (especially Siz) lambasted the rest of the group for their lack of preparedness and overall hypocrisy despite having previously expressed a desire to continue the conflict. Ultimately, the meeting concluded that the HoA would continue the war until 5/2/22, at which point they'd attempt to make peace (although Julio met with GG and concluded the war early on good terms on 5/1/22). Furthermore, by this point the conflict had de-escalated in intensity to a point similar to the HoA's "gentleman's war" with the BBMC in late 2020.

Alta Street Ruff Rydaz

 * Since May 2022 the Alta Street Ruff Rydaz (commonly known as The Blocks) began sporadically harassing members of the HoA, which usually took the form of petty robberies and/or kidnappings for ransom. As a result, this prompted the HoA to begin retaliatory attacks and kidnappings, most prominently with their kidnapping of Laura Gapes and the kidnapping and execution of Mike Block at MRPD by Julio Thomas. As a result, The Blocks started escalating their harassment, of which involved kidnapping Tanner Johnson for use as a pilot to conduct suicide attacks against the Liquid Library with jets. Although their attacks were still somewhat sporadic in nature and combined with their general impression in the state for chaotic behavior, meant that open hostilities between the two groups were rare. Nonetheless, by 6/15/22 Siz took the opportunity to make formal peace with The Blocks as their harassment was causing issues for the group and showed no signs of stopping on its own. Siz, Mike Block, and Tony Block came to an arrangement that The Blocks would stop their attacks and give the HoA five hours a week to do anything with any Block in exchange for being allowed to kidnap one LL employee for an hour with an hour's notice for a month (with the condition that they not hurt or rob the hostage).

PG-18

 * The HoA came into conflict with PG-18 on 8/18/22. This occurred when Jessi Adler attacked Mayumi over a belief that she tortured a friend of hers; initially the conflict was limited to just Jessi, but shortly after her first attack the rest of her gang (PG-18) quickly jumped at the chance to begin a wider war. The first fight between the two groups ended in a loss for the HoA as most of them were shot down by Jessi herself. Luckily for both sides, little was lost due to the tsunami coming in before anyone had a chance to properly loot either side. In the next tsunami, the HoA managed to kidnap Jessi from a clothing store and interrogated her for information on who exactly was affiliated with her and PG-18 (discovering that their leader, Lee Nova, was actually a former employee of the LL). Siz was also able to obtain some names from Alan Crane in idle conversation while giving him a tour of the Dam. Several hours later the HoA met with PG-18 at the Galileo Observatory to discuss terms and properly determine why there was a conflict to begin with. That meeting ended in a shootout after PG-18 doubled down on their desire to continue the war despite their original reason for fighting being false, with the shootout starting after they declined the HoA's demand of several thousand materials, leading to the death of the attending PG-18 members. The HoA were then able to scoop up Lee at the Arcade later that day who, after declining the terms again and taunting his kidnappers, was executed by Julio. A few hours later they talked with Tuo Chens, who wanted no part in this conflict as he thought highly of the HoA (being a former Tavern and MP Gas Station employee). Several hours after that the HoA managed to kidnap and execute PG-18 member Aaron, who was one of the main proponents for war with the HoA. Prior to his execution, he was interrogated for why he had wanted to attack the HoA (where he: retracted his prior comments, quintupled down on behalf of his gang, and attempted to shift the blame for the war onto the HoA). Siz then got Aaron blacklisted from H&O Exports due to his use of their vehicles in crime, with Jaylen Carter personally executing him as further punishment. This resulted in another PG-18 member deciding to step out of the war (as they were an employee of H&O Exports), telling the HoA as much in a meeting in Mirror Park about an hour after Aaron 's execution by Jaylen. The war concluded on 8/19/22 when Tuo accepted the HoA's terms on PG-18 's behalf, also claiming that Jessi sought to apologize and that he was not supportive of Aaron 's actions. PG-18 later disbanded and members dispersed to other gangs.
