Close to a fairytale, yet reality nobody can deny.
Almost incomprehensible, but too thrilling to simply ignore.
A long, fullfilling journey barely any community can take pride in.
So many memories, stories - so much of the untold and experience for so many years.
On behalf of Littlewhitey's SA:MP Staff Team, I invite you, honourable members of LW's community, to join us in the celebration of two majestic decades of history.
We're celebrating the day of the very foundation of both LW's and SA:MP communities which have grown, reshaped the landscape of online gaming and have evolved so much in the meantime.
We choose to celebrate the unique nature and structure our community has always preserved and cherished; a very diverse cast of characters, personalities and figures, from the loudest mouths to the most calm folks, from the outspoken to the most of introverts and shy ones.
Content with the way our server has been policed ever since the beginning, we're celebrating all the efforts made to maintain certain standards which paved the way to humble, although successful transition(s).
With that in mind, we will be privileged and sincerely appreciative if you decide to take part in the grand event of ours -
the celebration of 20 years of Littlewhitey's SA:MP Server and community.
Ladies and gentlemen. Be our lovely guests in marking the fabulous...
Littlewhitey's SA:MP 20th Anniversary~ story of untouched, unfathomable legacy ~
Previous Reunions and Meetups (historically)To overcome the challenges of maintaining even slightly decent playercount, which was the primary objective of every SA:MP Team since the tail end of 2009, LW's was the host of so many major, reunion-like events in hopes of strengthening ties between the old and the new.
Successful more often than not, this plain concept of meeting up with the whole community in a single day (sometimes spans over the course of few days) has reached the golden status as it reunites our playerbase in an instant, whenever it is set to happen or if need be. Below, you will find that LW's community responded accordingly to calls and requests to participate and rejoice, giving back to the server they once played on regularly while the new blood embraced those moments and got the chance to see a lot of familiar or less known oldheads. In summary, we've stuck to the original idea as it was proven time and time again it's doing outstandingly well.

Littlewhitey's Weeks Event - LWW as grand, adrenaline-filled series of gamesDuring the harsh four-year stretch, back in 2011,
EnzoMortelli came up with a promising idea aiming to increase highly devastated playercount in mighty fine, although fairly unpopular fashion. His brilliant mind sought to rely solely on both organisational and communicational skills, creativity, sharpness and decisiveness and, above all, his iron will to carry out every single task. Ever since the first completed LWW in 2011, it became a pretty, long-lasting tradition. Basic, yet vastly structured and well-put-together event which screamed entertainment and chaos; a line of variety of games hosted for two weeks straight, day after day. Consisted of roughly 5-7 games a day, every day meant totally different type of events (based on weapons used, fighting styles/techniques and/or server features). Running Weapons, Walking Weapons, Stealth Ops or Racing day - it didn't matter all that much as long as our players were promised tons of joy and action.
Hosts would, however, resort to complete exhaustion following the end of LWW as it always required discipline, absolute focus, firmness, awareness (of pretty much everything in-game) and willingness to see it all the way through. Tough call for anyone that accepted the role of being the host and wanted to sacrifice their health, nerves and test their patience and kindness as well as a number of other personal traits.
Those who took upon themselves to host the magnificent events are as follows:
EnzoMortelli (the mastermind, 4x, 2011-2014),
Aryan (once, 2015),
playa (2x, 2016-2017) and the
LW's SA:MP Team (once, 2018). Their contributions are immeasurable.
Unfortunately, for the last some years, it hasn't been hosted due to lack of time, available personnel and
determination which, as aforementioned, is the most valuable asset and requirement to organise LWW.

The Littlewhitey's Weeks The very beginning - brief historyMay 9th, 2006. Different times, by modern day standards old-fashioned in so many ways, completely unrecognisable skies of what we know now as internet, which announced great fortune and change to then relatively new, though turbulent gaming world.
A group of enthusiasts, young and brave men with vision, already experienced in server maintenance and hosting (VC:MP and MTA), took a step forward and started a brand new project unsure of how it would resonate with many passionate, driven gamers all over the world. Having served as SA:MP beta and development team members/testers, respected lads by the names of
littlewhitey,
Mike,
f3llah1n,
R.A.W,
Silent,
XcR (joined by
adamcs,
Simon and
Umek shortly after) embarked on an uncertain journey that evidently and largely impacted the childhoods of so many innocents like no other place, website, game or community had done ever before.
By the end of 2006/early 2007, names such as
Lilly,
Zaina,
Popz,
Peter,
kenny01,
Giggs,
Hustler and
Brandon stepped up and gladly joined the team helping the server elevate and attract more peeps. Caring and committed to the craft, they made sure everybody played in accordance with the server rules. Make no mistake - LW's had already been gaining lots of players from all around the emerging SA:MP community and it was one of the most visited servers during the early phase of SA:MP game. Prior to the shutdown midway through 2009, LW's was piece of an exclusive group of servers which had made their place on the
Official list. Exclusive because 95% of servers had been left out in the process, special (for us) because LW's had proven advantageous which definitely helped later on as playercount wouldn't drop for 4 years.
From 2010 onward, temporary ups and downs, good and bad occurrences left their mark, but all have their place in the history. Pleasent, thrilling and sometimes overwhelming experiences.
They couldn't have foreseen nor anticipated that the little, at the time pretty modest project would end up lasting for 20 unbelievable years and, what remains astonishing, still going and keeping up with the rest of now advanced and optimised gaming stratosphere - in terms of technology and gadgets available, everything has skyrocketed!
Such an impressive feat for something so plain and, to many, for irrelevant space of some popular videogame which happens to be one of the most known, noticed and widely recognised gaming franchises in the history.
Littlewhitey's SA:MP Server is a treasure we were blessed with. It's a story worth telling that has got all its readers in awe. Speechless for how rich and satisfying every detail gets to be. Mysterious, impeccable, but so oddly simplistic.
Most importantly, we are grateful to every single member of either Moderation, Administration or Management Teams, over the course of two incredible decades, who voluntarily agreed to take really good care of the place all of us have called secret home at least once. Words cannot describe in entirety how thankful we are to all the players, regulars or bypassers, randoms or notable names, who have made Littlewhitey's such a lively and exciting place. From top-notch Management members to the most loyal and decent regular folks, in the name of whole LW's SA:MP Staff Team (from long retired to active members) - I applaud, appreciate and thank you most sincerely. Our gratitude is immense.
Some names, although a very tiny, small portion of staff, can be found on the
littlewhitey's staff team list.
Important InfoThanks to special qualities of my good friend, associate and staff colleague - those being unbelievable amount of tolerance and understanding -
EnzoMortelli, long time LW's SA:MP Staff member and currently Management Team member, we agreed to make this anniversary a two-day (weekend) celebration so we could really make the most out of it. Another reason being simply the fact not everybody would be available to participate on either Saturday or Sunday, thus the optimal choice which probably suits the vast majority was made. Lots of fun!
Littlewhitey's SA:MP Anniversary is going to take place on
Saturday and Sunday, May 23rd and 24th, at 2pm (GMT+0, Greenwich time).
Just in case, I'm leaving links to countdowns for both days to avoid any possible confusion (it's summer time, that's for certain).
