HOA/3.0/History and Major Arcs

==The Founding of the HOA</big>==
The HOA was founded by Mirror Park resident homeowner, Siz Fulker on August 14th, 2019 in an attempt to lower the crime rate and raise the property values in his neighborhood. HOA members patrolled the Mirror Park, and later Vinewood Hills, communities to keep crime out of these neighborhoods. Anyone caught doing such acts were immediately removed from the area and got taken to speak with the Mayor of Mirror Park (or were dealt with by their arresting HOA officers) to ensure that such acts would never happen again.
They were originally contracted by Payne Real Estate to protect the communities of Mirror Park and Vinewood Hills. Previously, the aforementioned Vinewood Hills was under the jurisdiction of the HOA, however due to their sustained presence and governmental changes to the state, criminals were largely driven out. This resulted in the HOA voluntarily abandoning the area in favor of focusing more on creating their own sovereign nation in Mirror Park. Although the latter idea was abandoned after several months, along with regular patrols (also due to a lack of criminals in the area, coupled with the boredom associated with the task).
The HOA Headquarters was based in Vinewood at 25 North Sheldon Avenue. It was mainly used as a storage facility and armory. Siz voluntarily gave up the HQ in favor of being able to maintain business ties with Matthew Payne.
==Season I: Mirror Park Enforcement==
Their first arc, known internally as "Season One", was the period immediately after the group's founding up until they were contracted to protect Payne Realty properties. During this time the group heavily patrolled Mirror Park to both: enforce vigilante justice on anyone caught violating the law (speeding on the straightaway through Mirror Park was a common occurrence) and generally harass those who went to the area for a benign fee (as a parody to the then common "hood tax"), settling on $10. While catching burglars did occur early on, it became their primary focus by the middle of this arc, superseding most other minor crime. At this time they were also building their image with the police, with the high command at the time being personally supportive of their actions. (Although such support wasn't shared with the majority of the lower officers, of whom viewed and treated the HOA as a highly illegal vigilante group.) Towards the closing of this arc is also where the Lady of the Lake mythology arose, stemming from the group's depositing of seized vehicles in the Mirror Park Lake (referred to as "imponding"). At the time the group had not begun seriously worshipping (or had even been seriously aware of) the deity residing in the lake. (With "feeding" cars to the Lady of the Lake being more or less just an excuse as to why they didn't call the police for a proper impounding.)
==Season II: Vinewood Patrol==
Their second arc, known internally as "Season Two", began after they were officially contracted by Payne Real Estate to protect their properties from burglars. Siz Fulker managed to secure this contract via his personal connection to Payne, thus becoming a legal security group. A central plot point for this arc was the group's constant friction with those attempting to burglarize properties within their contracted areas, now also covering the Vinewood Hills community. At first, their primary organized opposition was in form of Black Betty, Inc., based in Vinewood. After the dissolution of Black Betty, unaffiliated burglars tended to be the norm, at least until a new gang, the Misfits, moved up to Vinewood and began burglarizing (until they moved time zones to avoid the HOA). As a result, this arc also saw both the apex and conclusion of the group's regular nightly patrols for burglars in conjunction with their greatest territorial acquisitions and losses. The apex of their patrols occurred during the initial few weeks after the expansion into Vinewood Hills, when unsuspecting burglars hadn't yet become aware of the HOA's danger. Afterwards, the patrols slowly drew down as criminals changed their sleep schedules to avoid the HOA, shifted to burglarizing the South Side houses (the one area that was both: outside the HOA's coverage and profitable to rob), or simply ceased burglarizing altogether. Eventually, the patrols slowed to a halt near the conclusion of this arc as they became less and less eventful. This is what led to the HOA giving up Vinewood as they had considered the area pacified due to a consistent lack of burglars on patrols, choosing instead to focus on Mirror Park.
Around this time the group also saw a shift in their self-image as members went from thinking of the HOA as a sort of "side job" with a group of friends to that of a criminal gang. The former mindset led to a cacophony of various gang members joining the organization (either temporarily just to partake in a night's patrol, or on a more permanent basis, e.g. Juan Carlos Hernandez). This was forced to come to a conclusion after the group ran into trouble with gang-affiliated members drawing unwanted attention while on the job, especially when encountering members of other hostile gangs while doing HOA work. This led to several gang-affiliated members being let go, with no ill will. This arc came to a close when Siz Fulker struck a deal with Matthew Payne to officially revoke the group's contract to patrol his properties, destroying the group's ability to operate legally, and fully shifting the HOA to be crime oriented (a process that had already begun near the end of the arc as group members began regularly doing heists with one another outside of their HOA duties).
==Season III: The Crimson Boomers==
The next arc began and ended in the month of December of 2019 when the HOA secretly became a terrorist organization known publicly as the Crimson Boomers. This arc ended when Siz was arrested after committing an act of terrorism in Crimson Boomer attire, with a USB containing incriminating evidence, in front of MRPD. The resulting fallout to rescue Siz got most of the group held until trial through the holidays, after which the DoJ dropped the case on them entirely after it was determined they were deprived of their constitutional right to a "fair and speedy trial".
On December 28th, 2019 Siz lapsed into a coma after being shot by Theodore Martin, not awaking until January 31st, 2020. After which, the HOA moved into their next arc, referred to as "narcos season". However, in the interim between the two arcs (during the one month of Siz's absence) Denzel took it upon himself to begin a purge of HOA members, firing Mary Mushkin before later quitting himself to focus more on the Leanbois. During this arc, the group conducted a massive weed cultivation and trafficking operation via a new headquarters building in Vinewood. This arc ended when government changes as to how weed was grown curtailed any ability for the group to maintain a large grow operation.
==Season IV: Hogs of Anarchy MC==
After "narcos season" on 3/18/20 the HOA rebranded as a parody motorcycle club, the Hogs of Anarchy MC (keeping the HOA acronym intact). With this change, Siz had the Mirror Park Tavern constructed as a new hangout area (replacing his personal Mirror Park home and the former Vinewood HQ) and future bar (that held an illegal moonshine distillery) for various people to work in. However, consistent delays kept construction crews from actually installing the components needed for a functional tavern; leading to a period of nearly a year of inactivity on the business side of the tavern. Although, Dante Thomas (with Siz's blessing) decided to begin operation of the tavern several months after construction, in spite of the lack of functional equipment (serving bottled alcohol in the interim). The hallmarks of this portion of the arc were: the further development of the Lady of The Lake mythology (with the entire group actually meeting the Lady of the Lake and introducing another deity known as the Father of The Fire), the extensive amount of wars the HoA participated in (including their first loss), the extensive amount of recruitment that took place throughout the arc (ballooning the gang to a record 20 members), the presence of numerous short sub-arcs, and the diversification of the HoA's position in the state's criminal underworld. 
An example of one of the arc's sub-arcs (started in September of 2020), while keeping the same name and overall behavior, the HoA publicly identified as a book club rather than an MC. This resulted in them no longer being legally labeled as a "gang", allowing for members to more easily own and operate businesses publicly affiliated with themselves. Although, they were not able to maintain this façade come December of 2020 due to being arrested in one too many gang related shootings and regaining their gang tags; however this had little to no real effect on businesses owned by members as the PD/DOJ showed no interest in pursuing any sort of investigation into the group.
==Season IV Part 2: A New City==
While the HoA did not shift away from being an MC, there was a significant shift in the group's focus in this portion of Season Four, as when the 3.0 phone update and subsequent great Los Santos economic collapse occurred (due to the government going all in on GameStop stocks), with the entire state going bankrupt. Properties, vehicles, assets, etc. were all seized by the government to recoup their losses, forcing the HoA to start from zero all over again. Additionally, all criminal records were wiped and for the first few weeks of 3.0 major crime was disabled and/or the criminal world of San Andreas had not yet discovered how to commit them. All this resulted in the HoA moving from regular heisting to the civilian world in a desperate bid to earn money. The jobs members took up included store deliveries, fishing, hunting, or sanitation work. Fortunately for the group, the resetting of criminal records did allow them to reestablish their façade of operating as a book club as the police department now had no record of the HoA's prior gang related activities. 
Despite losing all his other properties, Siz managed to retain ownership of the Mirror Park Tavern, of which became fully operational on the release of the 3.0 phone update as it introduced: locks on the doors, a business bank account for the Tavern, and actual alcohol manufacturing to the property. (With the unique moonshine derived absinthe, marketed as Top Shelf, becoming the flagship product of the business.) All members of the HoA were officially employed at the Tavern; of which sold drinks, distilled moonshine, or purchased the necessary ingredients to make the alcohol. Although, most of the members quickly found running the Tavern to be boring/tedious, and so only a select few actually actively worked at the Tavern when Siz wasn't around (and after a few weeks nearly completely stopped working even when Siz was around). 
Additionally, with the opening of the Diamond Resort and Casino down the road from the Tavern, the HoA took this as a business opportunity to sell their drinks and possibly get jobs there. To this end, the HoA arranged a meeting with Dean Watson (owner of the casino) and Otto Delmar (head of casino security). In an effort to convince them, Siz decided that the group would pose as being Moramish, a combination of Mormon and Amish. This was expanded upon afterwards in a group meeting as a method to attempt tax fraud by posing the HoA as a religious group that would qualify for tax exemption; they even planned to pose the Tavern as their "church" to maintain the façade. After drinking a few glasses of the HoA's moonshine, the duo was convinced and this landed the HoA the job of catering the drinks for the Diamond Resort and Casino's grand opening. Although, after the event a conflict arose between Siz and Dean over the amount the casino owed the Tavern, causing relations between the two businesses to break down (With Dean even trying to frame Siz for his attempted murder after "forcing" him to pay.) This was later resolved on 2/25/21 when Siz met with Dean and settled the beef between the two of them.
While a few select members did partake in the Moramish façade the majority of the group did not bother to act, dress, or otherwise generally portray themselves to be a religious group. The Moramish act was eventually dropped on 3/5/21 after new information on taxation came to light, with Manny discovering that posing as a religious group would not qualify one for tax exemption. A similar situation occurred with the Tavern several weeks into its operation, as most members outside of command had waned in their commitment to supporting the Tavern for a variety of reasons. (The Tavern at one point got into more than $20,000 in debt due to a lack of sales.) This lack of interest by most of the HoA forced Siz to start hiring outside workers in a bid to maintain the business (with them becoming the primary Tavern employees). Coinciding with this, Huck and Fiona also attempted to reboot Season One in the form of the HOAPP (Home Owners Association Park Patrol) where they used golf carts to patrol Mirror Park and taxed individuals $10 in much the same way as the group had in 2019. (Although this was quickly abandoned due to a complete lack of interest by all other members of the HoA in rehashing their first season.) 
Some members of the group were also briefly introduced to the world of meth production when on 3/7/21 Cheddar accidentally stumbled onto a key for a brand new meth lab. After attempting to find the purpose for the key, his endeavor led him to Manny who then arranged for him (and the others Cheddar had asked beforehand within the HoA) to meet with Siz and ended up handing over the key. 
Since the start of this arc with the formation of the Hogs of Anarchy, the HoA as a whole had begun to experience some form of slight stagnation due to a lack of cohesive ideas for the group. Prior to 3.0, this issue was largely abated by the consistency of high-stakes heists or other crime the group was able to commit with one another (of which often gave the group at least one significant event to occupy their time while awake). However since the release of the 3.0 phone update, crime as a whole became much more inaccessible and/or unviable to commit consistently for a variety of reasons. This lead to a resurgence and intensification of the issue of stagnation, as group members began to find difficulty in creating some sort of activities for themselves/the group. Siz and some other members attempted several times to introduce new goals and/or ideas for members to work towards, but to no avail as the majority of members simply stopped pursuing said ideas once Siz went to sleep (e.g. the Tavern, an idea to accumulate materials to construct a communal shanty town for the group, and several business proposals) or outright refused to participate to begin with (e.g. the Tavern again, the Moramish façade, and the HOAPP). This issue became so bad that tensions within the HoA reached a boiling point and Siz found it less and less enticing to even attempt to rally the group behind anything due to an apparent complete apathy for participation in any group ideas. This ultimately led to a meeting on 4/23/21 where Julio, Kleb, Fiona, Huck, Kermy, Jesus, and Siz all met on top of an umbrella near Kray Tor's windmill house in Sandy Shores to discuss some of the group's core issues. Although the focus was mainly towards Siz's (as claimed by Fiona) role in suppressing idea generation among the HoA for fear of him bashing an idea he found poor. The meeting ended up resolving nothing, with Siz reiterating that he wasn't required to mediate any difficulties within the HoA (claiming that as adults they should be able to deal with any internal difficulties themselves and also be able to generate, present, and follow through with their own ideas for what they wanted to do [rather than looking to Siz for everything]). As a result of this, Siz gave Kermy the go-ahead for a proposal to dissolve the HoA and merge with the Angels to form a new group called the Saints (which was declined by the Angels, opting instead for an alliance). Furthermore, due to his stellar performance as an employee at the Tavern, Kian Mercer was made into a full-member of the HoA as an attempt to "infuse new blood" into the group. Fiona ended up leaving the HoA nearly three weeks later after she felt that they had treated her like "shit".
After nearly four months of no crime, the HoA attempted to get back into criminal heists (although they were stymied by police responses that were more intense than what they had been used to). Between 5/31/21 and 6/1/21 they tried twice in an attempt to do a HALO themed job at the Jewelry Store, where they all dressed as Spartans while robbing the store (continuing the trend of themed jobs the HoA often did in 2.0). The first attempt ended in police custody and a bench trial, although they still made away with the goods as the police forgot to search Kray Tor thoroughly. The second attempt was also a failure, but Siz Fulker and Julio Thomas got sent to prison while Kray Tor and Flippy went to another bench trial (and nobody got away with any loot). This second attempt also almost resulted in a police raid of Kray Tor's property over the possession of two Uzis in the span of five hours, but it was avoided after Julio claimed ownership of said weapon.
==Season V: A New Direction, North?==
With the first four months of 3.0 spent aimlessly searching for a new direction the HoA (literally and figuratively) finally managed to settle on where they wanted to take the group. Near the end of Season Four Siz suggested that the HoA take a new approach and move up to Paleto due to Mirror Park slowly dying due to a lack of foot-traffic (i.e. the surrounding businesses by the Tavern were inactive). In response to this, on 6/9/21 Huck, Kleb, Julio, and Kermy proposed an idea of turning the HoA into a mafia type group (with an alias of "The Family", but not yet settling on a new name for the group as they hadn't thought of a new HOA acronym) complete with corny Italian accents. Before presenting the idea to Siz they tested it themselves several hours beforehand and largely enjoyed the new image. Siz was initially turned off of the idea due to the poor quality of the group's accents, but after a few minutes he admitted that it was "better than nothing".
The season began on 6/15/21 after the group collectively agreed to make Paleto their new base of operations. Although, they did not intend to fully abandon Mirror Park, as they planned to (as proposed by Huck and Kleb) let the HOB run Mirror Park in their stead. Possible activities included offering protection to vendors at the Andi Jones Farmers Market and using the barber shop in Paleto as a meetup spot. As a result, they also discussed plans on driving out the Condemned MC, a Motorcycle Club based out of the Paleto Bay area, without direct confrontation. (Although due to impatience and poor communication between members of the HoA, things instead escalated into a traditional war.)
By the start of this season the HoA also managed to slowly rebuild their criminal connections. The HoA now had access to illegal class one pistols, illegal class two automatics, thermite charges, methamphetamine, poison, and practice hacking laptops. And with Andi Jones also ending her mayoral term by the start of this season, she was able to return to active participation in HoA activities and further build connections for the group and herself.
==Season V Part 2: Returning to their Roots==
By the time the war with the Condemned began Siz's house once again became the group's primary hangout spot (as the majority of the HoA no longer actively worked at the Tavern and had become involved in Siz's meth operation where he tended to immediately begin preparations to cook meth after he woke up). Also, by mid June the idea of moving to Paleto and shifting the HoA into a mafia type group had stalled, largely due to the slow pace of the ongoing war preventing them from relocating. The idea was dropped entirely several weeks into the conflict after the group slowly stopped any further attempts to be a mafia and returned to their previous moniker of a parody biker gang, the Hogs of Anarchy. For a time, this left the HoA in an odd spot of being a functional group with no real overarching description, similar to the group's state during the Narcos arc. On 8/12/21 the members of HOB got their own distinctive uniforms and the HoA also received new Kuttes that codified their first official ranking structure (from lowest to highest: Low Stocks, High Stocks, Highest Stocks, and Command). The latter replaced the practice of each member creating their own rank upon accession to the HoA.
During the first CMC war, the HoA also got into a short-lived war with the Natural Born Crackheads as a means to protect Andi and they got into a month-long war with the Pink gang after the latter had erroneously claimed Mirror Park as turf and robbed Jesus.
After several months of sporadic conflict with the Condemned, who never made any offensive move against the HoA, the war eventually concluded in a white peace on 9/10/21 (with neither side losing/gaining any territory or agreeing to any terms). Despite this, the two groups did get into small skirmishes, with the most recent fight before the second war began being on October 2nd, 2021. The HoA began their second and final war with the Condemned on 10/21/21 after Ant and Kian were shot down (alongside Bjorn and Denzel) while they were at Paleto, with the Condemned dissolving a few days later (with no retaliations). 
This arc also saw the HoA start to get a foothold in criminal activities such as bank robberies, weed running, etc. where they went through many highs and lows. Their highs included: Freddy successfully disabling the new Fleeca security system with four thermite charges, robbing Paleto and working up the robbery progression chain, and establishing a methamphetamine partnership with Flippy's Crew. Some of the more prominent low points were: the creation of a map that almost publicly exposed the HoA's and Flippy's meth operation, the Tavern almost getting raided after a cop witnessed an HOB member moving packed weed boxed from the back of the business; and a weed picking operation which resulted in the incarceration of Daryl, Kraytor, and Luis and their properties getting raided. These series of mistakes also led to some of the first real punishments dished out in the HoA in nearly a year and a half and the greatest number of departures in the group's history as a traditional gang, with Siz even removing a member of command from the HoA.
Unfortunately, on October 23rd, 2021 the HoA suffered a great setback in their overall criminal endeavors after most of their drugs, weapons, and other illegal items were seized in a raid on their collective stash warehouse. This also forced Siz to end production of his "penguin-2" strain of meth and replace it with a strain from Lilith, named "chicken". With Lilith becoming the new cook, she inherited the burden of running the group's meth operation as Siz became totally hands-off and only acted as the look-out during the cooks; he even stated that he would not take any payments except for paint thinner reimbursements. 
With Huck's absence throughout a significant part of this arc and Kraytor's demotion to HOB, Siz promoted Julio (with the suggestion of Andi) to High Command, though he was placed in a trial phase to see if he was fit to take Huck's third-in-command spot. Furthermore, this consolidated Andi's position as second-in-command after Siz clarified it to her. Additionally, Siz and Andi promoted Lilith Ailhart to a full-member of the HoA as the two saw her initiative and eagerness to provide to the group. There were also plans to bring more HOB prospects into the fold after a culling. Nico Kanto, Gumbus McGoo, Jeremy Holden, and Simon Peterson were all made HOB prospects by Julio and were approved by Andi. After this new batch of HOB were brought in, long-time HOB member: Thad Owens and Gillea Taylor were promoted to HoA.
With the addition of new HoA/HOB members and a noticeable regression in criminal performance among the veterans, the group held the first HOAcademy on October 27, 2021 in an effort to teach and refresh HoA and HOB about necessary criminal tactics and skills. The academy was spearheaded by Julio Thomas, Kermy Fulker, and Siz Fulker. The first day of academy consisted of communications training (teaching callouts and radio chatter) and a survival scenario where various members of HoA and HOB were forced to return to civilization after being dropped off at the peak of Mt. Chiliad with no phone, this also resulted in a group-wide search and rescue effort to find missing members. The second session of academy was on November 3rd, 2021 and it consisted of kidnapping and interrogation training. Members of the HoA and HOB participated in simulated kidnappings where two groups had to kidnap someone and take them somewhere. This encompassed radio communications, interrogation, robbery, and driving. The third session of academy was on 11/17/21, it was a collaborative effort between the HoA and The Families to teach the HoA/HOB street smarts. The first portion involved HoA/HOB members chugging down a carton of milk and immediately run to Grove Street (GSF Territory). The second portion involved apprehending house robbers. HoA/HOB members (and some guests from The Guild) were split up into parties of 2-4 and they were tasked to find a house robber (in this instance there were volunteers from GSF and HoA to act as said robber). This resulted in a small shootout between groups and incapacitating some of the participants. This section was meant to teach the participants how to press suspected house robbers and teach them a lesson to not ever go rob at their houses again (i.e. robbing them, assaulting them, etc.). The last and final portion of academy was robbing people for oxy. Groups were split into oxy runners and oxy robbers, oxy runners would do the usual exchange of mysterious packages for oxy and the oxy robbers would run up to them and attempt to rob said oxy. However, this became way too realistic as the simulation ended in an actual shootout between HoA and HOB and 10 HoA/HOB members getting apprehended by the police. This was taken to court, though the group was found guilty they were let go but their illegal possessions were taken and they were charged for reckless endangerment and other possessions. Their punishment was to be volunteer EMS for at least two hours within a 72-hour threshold, a sort of callback (although only Stanley ended up serving this sentence). 
The HoA also got into a minor conflict with Mayhem from 11/29/21-12/7/21 over the actions of Anna Swallows. 
On November 9, 2021 the HoA (Siz, Freddy, Julio, Dante, and Stanley) were able to successfully rob the yacht, making them one of the few groups to do it. After weeks of practice, Freddy was able to complete the laptop hacking sequence on the yacht and input the correct values and sequences on the steam system. They were able make away with five Inked Bags, 18 Gold Bars, and access codes to the casino. Though, not everyone was able to escape as Julio and Stanley were downed in a gunfight and apprehended by the police. On November 20, 2021 the HoA (Siz, Freddy, Julio, Stanley, Luis, and Lilith) were able to successfully rob the Upper Vault, making this the first ever HoA Vault Job. Lilith, Siz, Julio, Stanley, and Luis were all caught but Freddy was able to secure the loot. The HoA, under the guise of Freddy became the second group in the city to successfully complete the VAR Heist. On December 30th, 2021 the group (Freddy, Andi, Julio, and Luis) bypassed VAR Security Systems and made out with weapons and a master key that Freddy was able to make on a whim. Though, Freddy returned to the VAR Space soon after their first attempt as he felt that it was not completed. His theory was proven on December 31st, 2021 as he redid the VAR Heist alongside Gumbus and made away with the second half of the Casino codes and a set of blueprints to the Casino. 
On 11/22/21, the process of cooking meth drastically changed. All meth labs across San Andreas were decommissioned, rendering them useless and making the 93-chicken and 2-penguin strains a thing of the past. The new way to cook meth was through meth tables which could be bought for 1,500 SHUNG and be placed almost anywhere. The HoA's San Andreas Cartel deal with Flippy's Crew and The Lost, allowed them to tinker with the new system at the Lost's Compound and figure out the new process to cook high quality meth. In lieu of this change, Siz took the opportunity to take a step back from the operation and handed it off to Lilith (he had grown tired of being required to be personally present at every cook to produce/guard the meth).
On the same day, the HoA were able to procure two properties up at Grapeseed as another stash house (unfortunately, they missed out on many of the newly allotted warehouses). They were also met with some minor resistance from the Cosa Nostra, an Italian mob based in Grapeseed. Kleb and Nico were approached by Jakka Romano with a gun in hand asking why they had bought houses in this place. Despite the interaction being benign, Julio relayed it to the rest of the HoA as if they were held up at gunpoint. In response, the HoA rolled into Grapeseed and Siz ended up robbing and shooting down Jakka. It was not until afterwards that the miscommunication was cleared up and no further actions were taken against the Cosa Nostra. 
Freddy was later able to buy a $400,000 warehouse by the Barrio as a new storage for the HoA's methamphetamine, although it was not actually used until nearly a month after purchase. 
Manny also left the HoA during this arc after being on-and-off again for months on end. This action, and the events leading up to it, led to Manny being marked for death by Siz. To accomplish this, Siz bought a stick of C4 (later lost) from Miguel as he remembered that Manny was deathly afraid of explosives. Three others (two of which were connected to the HoA/HOB): Bunnie Bunsworth, Kylie Stokes, and Kellogg Farnsworth were also removed from the group and later all marked for death as they committed acts deemed by various members of the group as kill-worthy. Kylie was executed by Flippy, Miguel, and Julio on October 20th, 2021; Bunnie was executed by Kray Tor on November 5th, 2021, leaving Manny still on the run. Kray Tor's execution of Bunnie also persuaded Siz to reinstate him to the HoA. 
The HoA also returned to enforcing their ban of active duty police officers from Mirror Park after the police arrested Siz on 9/24/21 under circumstances he considered dubious at best. Although at the time, this enforcement generally did not extend beyond mild verbal harassment. This temporarily changed after being raided on 10/23/21 when some members of the HoA enacted more violent responses, ranging from hitting their vehicles to full-on shootouts with the cops in Mirror Park. The HoA began to develop a sense of wariness when cops are in Mirror Park, as the PTSD from the dubious arrests and raid scares scarred them. This wariness was heightened when cops such as Mike Bayo or Randy Wrangler are patrolling the premises, stating that it is a Code Red. By 1/7/22 this wariness once again escalated into violent hostility after a botched raid attempt on several HoA properties; for the first time in HoA history the entire police department was banned from Mirror Park (with shoot on sight orders for any spotted in MP). This organized conflict against the PD lasted until 1/11/22 when the HoA accomplished their objectives by getting revenge on the officer who initiated the conflict, at the cost of the Mirror Park Tavern being demolished as collateral damage with a bundle of C4. 
==Season VI: A New Hope==
This season started on January 11th, 2022 after the Tavern was demolished earlier that day by Siz. With the demolition of the Tavern, the HoA quite literally blew away the old and began a new path with a bright future. 
By 1/11/22 The Liquid Library was finally progressing with construction, they had just come off of a victory against the entire police department, and regular heisting in the HoA (while not back to the levels seen in 2.0) was on the rise. Furthermore, in recognition of their victory against the PD, Rudi Rinsen recognized the HoA as a 1%er motorcycle club and awarded special patches to Siz and his high command. However, the effects of the victory was short-lived as other officers quickly began actively working against the group, most notably a group of police officers led by Matthew Espinoz. It was discovered that three of the cops who were investigating them (Mackenzie Hayes, Anita May, and Daisy Dukakis) all also lived alongside Espinoz in Vinewood Hills, making the conclusion that this group of cops had a personal vendetta and thus designated them "Espinoz's Harem". With the 60-day statute of limitations passing and the cops being unable to find evidence of terrorism, Siz and the HoA effectively got away from the charges that were being pressed on them (i.e.: terrorism).
On January 21st, 2022, Andi conducted a group-wide personal evaluation of each HoA member to see where they were at with the group in terms of contribution and performance. After this evaluation, Andi decided that the next batch of HOB members would be Joey Toes, Scott Turner, and any women the HoA could find (as the group only had three active female members). All HoA and HOB members were tasked to find a suitable woman to recruit into the group, leading them to open a temporary recruitment booth in Dean World to interview possible new female recruits.
With the HoA facing a heist progression wall after completing the VAR Heist, they scoured the Casino as a means to find the way to rob it. On January 25th, 2022, while dealing with a rat in the Casino, Siz was called up by Mr. Kebun to go to room 503 in the Casino (the same room the group was focused on during their investigations) and enter the shower. The power then went out and a secret door opened up, with Mr. K informing Siz that this was the first step to the Casino robbery. The following day Siz told all of the HoA this information and rallied the group to begin grinding so they could prepare for the heist. By 1/27/22 they began their attempts, slowly working their way through the interior of the casino. The group made it to the vault room underneath the Casino on 2/11/22 and finally managed to rob the contents of the Casino's vault on 2/22/22. On 2/25/22 the group cleared the Casino Vault's contents and made out with $5.2 million in cash, combining the previous robbery they made a total of $7 million dollars, evenly splitting the take to $1 mil per person. 
With the Liquid Library still under construction, the HoA were tasked with a mission to collect lumber, this would be a series of heists to collect materials for the establishment. On 2/24/22 the HoA partook in a lumber heist for the Liquid Library at the Paleto Forest Sawmill, where they managed to successfully acquire the lumber despite what appeared to be a botched heist. 
By mid February, Andi also extended formal invitations to Mayumi Himura and Karina Dawn to be members of HOB. One of them, Mayumi, had already told Julio that she had intended to join alongside Karina but their formal initiation to the group was to be held later. Thom Yung, a hacker and close friend of Freddy, was also officially invited to the next HOB class by Siz after Thom asked him if he could join. Mari Mckay, former Tavern employee and partner of Freddy, was also invited to join the next HOB class. On March 15th, 2022, after nearly three months of waiting Mari, Thom, Mayumi, Karina, Tanner Johnson, and Oscar Pepper were all formally inducted into the HOB and were initiated at the observatory by throwing them into electrical transformers. 
Territorial disputes and tensions also arose between the HoA and their long-time ally Hydra Gang after the latter laid claim the finished Mirror Park cul-de-sac as their official gang territory. While Siz managed to prevent this from escalating further (officially retaining their alliance), it left a bad taste in the rest of the HoA due to how they were treated by Hydra. 
The Haulers of Anything also took off as an official freight/container company, partnered with Dodo Logistics. This allowed the HoA to sell their freight containers and crates more often and to a wider audience, whereas before the crates/containers were sold at the Tavern. However, this was met with a myriad of problems as many customers' crates were being broken into by people all across the city. This led to the HoA and the Lost (as they also sold crates/containers) to make a blacklist and bar any people who were caught tampering and breaking into crates. 
For the next two months since their Casnio heist, the HoA entered a slump similar to that seen shortly after the 3.0 update. As they had completed the most difficult heist in the state at the time, there were no new jobs for them to do and so they largely repeated the VAR heist to obtain heavy weapons. 
This slump somewhat concluded on 3/25/22 when they gained a new objective to hunt down Adam Prince after discovering he purposely got Gumbus to plead guilty to terrorism charges in order to get revenge. The terrorism charges were being levied against Gumbus, Julio, and Thom after they attacked police in an attempt to rescue Siz from custody on 3/23/22. On that day Siz visited Sam Baas in an attempt to destabilize the latter's relationship with Shelly Smith. This meeting ended in Siz shooting Baas point blank in the face and Siz getting gunned downed and taken into custody; with the aforementioned trio then attempting their rescue attempt as Siz was recovering in the ICU ward of Pillbox. Weeks after the their initial arrest, Julio and Thom were found guilty of terrorism and were sentenced to four years of prison, four years of parole and were fined $200K each. 
The HoA got into a small one-day war with The Saints after various members of the HoA saw them circling Mirror Park. Ant called up Simon Riley and confronted him about them circling HoA turf, after a lengthy conversation Andi gave the HoA the greenlight to hunt and shoot any member of the Saints. 
On 4/12/22 the HoA as a whole became involved in Siz's plan to gain control of Burger Shot by assisting him in his campaign to be elected the "Burger King". Siz's overall goal was to move the existing Burger Shot location to the property occupied by Horny's Burgers in Mirror Park once Siz gained control.
==Season VI Part 2: COPIUM No More ==
On 4/19/22, after nearly a year and a half of waiting the Liquid Library was officially opened for public access, although it was still under heavy construction. At the same time the Mirror Park Gas Station was reacquired by Andi, in conjunction with a new oil refining system being implemented by the government to supply gas stations across the state. One of the newest HOB members, Karina Dawn, took the lead in learning the ropes behind the oil refining system and began working to create high quality gasoline for the Andi's gas station. The HoA/HOB and affiliated civilians worked hand in hand to keep the gas station operational. Due to the heavy foot-traffic the gas station attracts, it must be maintained daily via gas refills and pump maintenance through materials which has been taken care of by willing HoA/HOB members. Furthermore, after Siz was hired at RON Corp on 5/11/22, Michael Ron placed a pumpjack at the house on the intersection between Nikola Avenue and Mirror Park Blvd.
With Hydra officially moving out of the cul-de-sac, the HoA moved in and bought up all the sold properties further extending their claim of Mirror Park. On 4/24/22, Saint Jospeh bestowed the HoA with their very own gang flag, giving them access to the new gang turf system that's essential for drug sales. The flag was placed inside of the Liquid Library's meeting room so it would be protected and only seen by those who had access to it. As the HoA procured more and more sprays, they were forced to expand their reach beyond Mirror Park and expanded towards Bridge Street, even encompassing parts of Sinister Souls MC's "turf" (though, they were granted permission to establish themselves there by the HoA). Eventually, after finally running out of locations to spray in Mirror Park, they evicted Sinister Souls from their compound and took it over as their own. The spray system also allowed the group to sell and clean various dirty money and drugs through their Huck local clones, so far they have made around $900k in cash.
The new heist system introduced on 4/19/22 was a boon for the HoA as it allowed them significant leeway to plan for unique heists, similar to those they often did in 2.0. Their first job from this system was the Bay City Bank, which resulted in the group getting arrested (except for Hades) after engaging in a very long boat chase that went near one of RON Corp's oil rigs up north. The new heist system also allowed the HoA to do more jobs in general, as they began frequently hitting banks when they could. So far, they have hit multiple Fleecas, Jewelry Stores, and Upper Vaults. 
Due to her upstanding work and past efforts, Siz and Ant also promoted GRL to Fourth in Command of the HoA. The two saw that she put in massive effort during the Saints-HoA War with the hot gun plant and her efforts to support the group through VAR runs and other activities. More promotions were handed out, as Mayumi, Karina, Gumbus, Holden, and Thom were all promoted to HOA for their outstanding efforts and contributions to the group. 
Furthermore, the Burger King elections officially began on 4/19/22 and ran for a week, although the results were not recognized by Burger Shot, who were quite hostile to Siz claiming to be their king (even though he won). This left Siz with no real power over the activities of Burger Shot and therefore unable to actually move the business to Mirror Park. Siz's title of Burger King was officially stripped from him by Shelly after a court case at Burger Shot. Tensions between the two groups reached their peak when the ensuing court case resulted in the HoA massacring a majority of Burger Shot's employees after Kermy shot Jeffrey Price when Shelly shot down Siz.
On 4/29/22 the HoA also began their conflict with Gulag Gang after the latter stabbed several people at Dante's wedding earlier that day. The war lasted for a few days, until both groups convened at the Liquid Library's roof to end it on 5/1/22.
Unfortunately, by 5/12/22 much of the HoA were feeling burnt-out once again. In an effort to revitalize them, that day Freddy pitched out an idea to revamp the HoA Battle Pass. Originally, the Battle Pass began as a joke method by Siz to quickly induct people he desired into the HoA, where he simply charged them $10 to join (prominently seen with Fiona's recruitment in December 2020). This quickly evolved into a way to recruit those who wanted to fight on the HoA's side in a conflict (shortly after Fiona was recruited, the HoA got involved in a massive coalition war against the ESB). In both of these forms, the Battle Pass skipped the HOB entirely and immediately made one a full HoA member. The revamp Freddy pitched out was to turn it into an actual battle pass system with various rewards that changed monthly, but remove it as a route to actually join the HoA (although those who bought in would receive a "battle pass kutte"). In this form, it would be a source of group income as they would charge $50,000 for those outside the group to join the month's battle pass. Freddy discussed this further with Siz on 5/13/22 after the latter initially voiced some concerns, although after clarifying things with Siz he went ahead and implemented his idea, creating the current day form of the HoA Battle Pass. 
On 6/14/22, Andi introduced the modern method for accession to High Command after earlier discussions with Siz on how to handle DRL's HC promotion (see "High Command" in the "Current Divisions" section of the "Overview" tab for further information).
==Season VI Part 3: Have You Seen Our OG?==
This period of the HoA began on 7/7/22 when, unknown to the group at the time, Siz was kidnapped by the Hyenas (a gang of hillbillies that were guarding the Lumber Mill the day the HoA stole lumber from it for the Liquid Library). The rest of the HoA discovered he was kidnapped by late July, but had next to no real leads on where he was or who had taken him. Since that discovery Andi spearheaded an effort to relocate Siz out of both: genuine concern and to ensure that she would not become the new permanent leader of the HoA as she detested the thought of having to bear the brunt of the group's dysfunction on her own. Unfortunately for Siz and Andi most of the group put little serious effort into attempting to locate Siz, and those who were had made little additional progress for over a month (only receiving cryptic hints from the Hyenas late into July, who chose to use the alias "Killmaster"), with Andi herself beginning to realize how much of a determent to herself and the group it was to be missing Siz. Concurrently, this disappearance further enflamed the already rampant case of burnout within the group (causing many members to simply not wake up or stay awake for a much shorter time than usual). As a result, the HoA's overall involvement in the Liquid Library diminished heavily by August, with the one mainly active HoA worker at the time, Gillea Taylor, finally stepping back from the LL on 8/8/22 (citing a lack of help from the rest of the HoA in maintaining the business). 
This arc concluded on 8/12/22 when the HoA finally got a solid lead after receiving several hints from the Hyenas. The latter led the searching HoA members on a scavenger hunt all across the state, eventually ending in the morgue where they received a cryptic video that detailed various low points in Siz's personal life in 3.0 (which, unknown to them, was being used to torture Siz by forcing him to repeatedly watch it). Later that day, the Hyenas finally led the HoA to where Siz was being held, the Land Act Dam, where the Hyenas were gunned down by the HoA that arrived. Ultimately the gang managed to rescue Siz, who was promptly returned to Mirror Park when the police arrived to the Dam to investigate.
==Season VI Part 4: Post-Absence Clarity==
This arc began on 8/16/2022 when the HoA held a massive meeting at their Compound. This meeting recapped the activities of the HoA in the past month during Siz's disappearance. Before this meeting, Siz and Ant had a private conversation regarding the status of various HoA members and what they were doing to further themselves and the group as a whole. Ant detailed to Siz those who performed well and those who didn't, which informed Siz's later decision in the group meeting to declare that he was done tolerating the HoA's lack of initiative. This apparent change in group policy came after hearing of several members of the HoA being particularly useless in locating him, plus the actions of Dante Thomas in slandering the image of the gang with the Bondi Boys MC. Specifically, Siz gave Dante a final warning, threatening his expulsion from the gang, and that anyone else who wanted to continue to coast or failed to follow through on basic duties (such as defending the gang in a war they were around to see start) would be removed from the gang entirely. Such consequences in the HoA are virtually non-existent for a variety of reasons, but at the time Siz's mentality towards this was severely altered after the then recent torture his Hyena kidnappers forced him to endure (as described in the above section).
However, in the long term this warning was little more than a bluff as when the initial shock of the warning wore off the group reverted to the status quo Siz was attempting to quash. Siz himself never followed through on cracking down on those who chose to return to this behavior, having convinced himself that such punishment would ultimately be more damaging and a futile effort to alter what was a fundamental aspect of the majority of the HoA at the time. Instead he largely lost interest in the matter, began expressing a lack of desire to wake up to Andi, and began focusing more on personal endeavors and silly/fun group activities. By 9/22/22 this came to a head once again after the group showed a particular lack of initiative during several situations over the prior few days, resulting in another group meeting where Siz derided the group for their poor initiative and demanded they do better. After said meeting, High Command members Siz, Andi, and Julio had their own meeting about how they could work to resolve this. Ultimately, they came to no real conclusion besides: agreeing that there wasn't much they could do without handing down severe punishments (the specifics of which they were still unsure on how to proceed with) and that they should perform individual interviews with the rest of the HoA.
Also, the HoA got into a short war with a gang called PG-18 that lasted from 8/18/22-8/19/22.
On 8/27/2022, a massive Motorcycle Club Summit was held by Ant to discuss the current state of Premium Deluxe Motorsport, as they were growing tired of the dealership pulling shady tactics when selling bikes (i.e.: silent auctions, price gouging, selling to groups that aren't MCs). The Summit agreed that they will do everything in their power to force PDM to do away with their shady tactics through intimidation, attacks, etc. Days after the Summit, the HoA discovered that the Lost made a deal with Cerberus about giving them the rights to sell bikes at Iron Hog Repairs, forgoing any of the stipulations the Summit had suggested (i.e.: representatives from each MC, etc.). 
Rod Long was officially made a member of HOB on 8/29/2022. His relationship with the group has been up and down, but Ant and some members of the HoA saw that he has potential and was eventually brought into the fold. 
The HoA got into a war with the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office, after Siz discovered that Domenic Toretti had adopted Kevin Little as his own son. There has been three large scale battles fought in the Senora Desert. The first two battles were gunfights that occurred at the SDSO HQ and the third battle was a naval battle that took place in the Alamo Sea. All three resulted in HoA victories. 
The HoA also briefly adopted a new uniform from 9/6/22-9/12/22, a yellow and black patterned jacket from Siz's wardrobe (christened the "Cabela Jacket" by the group). This happened as a result of Siz forcing Hades and Stanley to put on said jacket as punishment for making fun of his appearance in it. Within the hour, Siz had begun peer pressuring the rest of the HoA and HOB to put on the jacket, with nearly the entire gang adopting it and peer pressuring others who didn't wear it by the next day. As a result, when Siz was around this almost completely replaced the kutte as the HoA's signature outfit. By the end of the above date range Siz had stopped peer pressuring people to wear the outfit, so the group returned to their standard uniforms.
After nearly an entire year of no members being removed from the group, Oscar Pepper was kicked from the HOB on 9/12/2022 after Hades, Julio, and Stanley told the rest of the HoA that he got himself voluntarily raided by Wrangler after a traffic stop. 
There was also a brief crisis on 9/14/22 over Siz's meeting with Cerberus executives that day, where he reported that he was going to join Cerberus and sell Mirror Park to them (which would've effectively converted the HoA into a subsidiary of Cerberus, functioning in a role similar to their time as the Homeowners Association with Payne Real Estate in 2019). Most of the group was initially on board/indifferent, but (after receiving immense pushback from Andi) Siz temporarily decided not to follow through on the latter.
Freddy also returned to the city on 9/15/2022 after a brief hiatus. 
On 9/29/22 Siz introduced a new joke hierarchy that was separate from the regular HoA ranks called the Slimes, a name derived from some zoomer terms (learned via $10,000 advice bought from Gulag Gang) that Siz took a liking to. 
On 9/27/22, Michael Simone, HOB Member and close associate to the group, was thought to be murdered by Reed Dankleaf days after the HoA discovered that the Lost let him walk free. This was the breaking point of the group's relationship with the Lost as the HoA disowned them as allies stating that they have messed up too many times in the past months (see Connections and Enemies section). 
From 10/3/22-10/5/22 Lilith was kidnapped and tortured by Diamond Dogs member Elizabeth Byrne. Within a few hours of going missing Siz learned of her kidnapping and mobilized the HoA as apart of his efforts to rescue her. This quickly resulted in the HoA going after the entirety of Diamond Dogs as a way to coerce Elizabeth into releasing Lilith. This succeeded as Elizabeth released Lilith a few days afterwards in an attempt to stop the attacks, especially against Sai Carter in particular. 
On 10/5/22 Siz decided to abolish the HOB and made all its members full HoA, citing a lack of separation between it and normal HoA activities and the lack of many new prospects for the greater part of a year. 
== Season VII: A Brief Message From our Sponsor ==
This season began on 10/20/22 when Siz finally decided to formally align the gang and Mirror Park under the Cerberus banner in exchange for a date with Eve Summers. Thus, for the first time since the end of their original Payne Real Estate contract almost three years earlier, the gang was once again a business's security service. As a result, on 10/25/22 Siz declared that the group was no longer an MC and by November had begun formalizing plans to move the group towards a more of an aviation theme (the group had yet to think of a replacement for the Hogs of Anarchy name). Although, this had little effect on the group's daily activities as not only was the HoA's status as an MC purely aesthetic by this point, but Siz initially kept the Cerberus contract a secret from the rest of the group (in an effort to avoid Andi finding out). Although even after the HoA found out, Cerberus played no real active role in the group (as at the time neither Siz or CB had any real plans for their new affiliation with one another). 
The HoA also gained many new members during this season. Former Lost MC members Wade Wilson and Frederick Dutton and Emergency Medical Services Chief Rivington Rivera joined the crew. Former GSF members, Lavante Lamano and Carter Banx also joined the crew bolstering the group's already large numbers. By this season, the HoA swelled up to 42 total members, making it the largest criminal group in the city. However, the joining of Lavante and Carter drew some ire from GSF as they did not like how Lavante left without being blooded-out. 
With Frederick joining the HoA, he brought along the Lost's meth lab key. He had plans to continue the meth operation with Lilith, but the key attracted unwanted attention from various groups across the city. The HoA were spied and stalked by the Mandem, Street Team, and BSK for information leading to their lab. However, with outside pressure and in-group discussion, Frederick and Lilith decided to sell the key as the attention it brought to the group was too much to handle. Frederick sold the key to Street Team for $9.5 million after striking a deal with Capped Tarranova. The funds were split amongst himself and Lilith. 
A significant portion of this season also saw a lull in the HoA's general criminal activity as in early October Siz was released from jail under extremely restrictive bail conditions after attempting to take the fall for Kian's murder of Ezra Funkhouser. As a result, he was unable to participate in overt crime for over a month, leading to a general reduction in group crime at the time since he was one of the primary drivers for group heists. Furthermore, out of personal boredom Siz began directing some members of the group to partake in unorthodox or otherwise silly activities. Most prominently in late October he began forcing the male members of the HoA to seduce women on his behalf.
On 11/22/22, the Ezra Funkhouser murder trial took place to see whether or not Kian and Siz were guilty of killing deceased SDSO Cop, Ezra. After a nearly six hour long trial and 24-hours later for delayed verdict, the court found Siz not guilty of murder, but guilty for possession of a class 1 firearm; and Kian was found guilty of murder and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison (17 years time served, only had to serve 3 years), 20 years of parole, and was charged a $2 million fine. 
The final weeks of this arc saw another consequence of the group's month long break from regular heisting, a significant increase in (and general preference for) civilian work. This was most prominently seen through the Dodo Logistics delivery runs that most members of the group regularly partook in as a way to earn income for themselves. While group members had been long since running Dodo personally as one of their main income sources, the significant pause in crime caused the group to begin regularly going on Dodo runs together. This quickly drew ire from Siz who saw criminals in his criminal gang choosing to do civilian work over crime as illogical and a waste of their time, eventually leading him to harass those members he personally saw engaging in Dodo Delivery runs (although he harbored no issue with those who took up managerial positions in the company or who themselves were civilians doing Dodo). Unfortunately for Siz, he was one of the only ones in the group at the time who had that mindset, with his disapproval also ultimately having little effect on the group's mentality towards the job. Most members who wanted to run Dodo either: already did so while Siz was asleep (and thus free from his harassment...at least initially) or did it in secret while Siz was awake, but busy elsewhere. 
== Season VIII: Flying High ==
The start of this arc occurred on 12/12/22 when Siz first had the HoA begin practicing their proficiency with planes and operating them in Mirror Park, thus officially starting the group's transition to an aviation theme. While Siz had already declared his intention to do this months earlier on 10/25/22, it wasn't until 12/12/22 that Siz actually began doing so, as the preceding months largely were an interregnum where most of the HoA had got their pilot's license and the status quo was maintained.
On 12/15/22, the HoA began holding helicopter racing events as a means to practice their flight skills.
The HoA discovered how to receive cocaine drops on 12/15/22, allowing them to have a direct access to that product without going through other groups and individuals for it. 
As had occurred throughout 2022 this arc continued to see new members join the group, starting on 12/15/22 with Catherine Scratch-Patrickson and Paddy Scratch-Patrickson. They were officially made members of the HoA after leaving the Lost MC and moving into Mirror Park as "retirees". Erin Cox was the next to join on 1/7/23 after being paid $69 to do so as a result of a conversation at the end of her court case proceedings that day. Soon afterwards on 1/9/23 Mercury Frost and Quimbley Hayabusa joined the group after a meeting with Siz, Ant, and Julio in the Liquid Library. 
On 1/16/23 Paddy presented a Game of Thrones inspired idea of his to Siz that was originally pitched as a way to help expose those were were performing poorly within the group. This involved monopolizing control over how much food the rest of the gang had access to. To accomplish this, Maximillian Angel at the LL would be made the only way the HoA was allowed to get food and he would only hand out food in exchange for special tokens. These tokens would only be obtainable as rewards for completing specific tasks, with a reward being offered for those who completed the most tasks (although Paddy specified that it would be an insubstantial reward). To incentivize members to report on those who were cheating the challenge, whistleblowers would be rewarded with extra food for each cheater reported. There would also be a new ranking system to denote who was doing poorly in the challenge, where those who remained low on this "social ladder" would be subject to additional restrictions (such as exclusion from group activities, although this was never implemented). Those caught violating the challenge (eating food obtained from somewhere other than Max) were to be subject to some sort of punishment (undecided at the time and never implemented) and a demotion on the "social ladder". Siz was intrigued by the idea and approved it during its pitch, although he also didn't want to be exempt from it (as he wanted to prove to the rest of the gang that it could be adhered to, although within two hours of the challenge starting Siz was caught cheating). The challenge itself began the next day on 1/17/23 when the gang was informed as much in a meeting headed by Paddy at the LL and lasted until 1/20/23. By the end the challenge had degenerated into members rampantly cheating and betraying one another in their given tasks in an attempt to gain favor with Paddy and have the "kings" that they rallied behind come out on top (Siz and Julio). As a result, the entire endeavor ended up mainly as a form of group entertainment rather than serving any actual purpose, of which confused outsiders who were made aware of it (such as Olivia Copper). Ultimately the winner of the challenge was determined in a final melee fight at the Mirror Park soccer field where Andi Jones (who was absent for all of the challenge and had just arrived back from her trip in the Paleto Forest) quickly built a coalition of members who hadn't sided with Julio or Siz and managed to win the fight. 
On 1/23/2023, Dante Thomas was removed from the HoA. 
On February 1, 2023 a new shipment of gang clothing arrived for the group, it also included the long awaited bomber jackets. 
== Season VIII Part 2: Mayday ==
A month after moving into the Aviation Arc came another period of HOA burnout and eventually unexpected conflict. The former resulted in Siz Fulker and a good chunk of the HOA going generally inactive, not returning until required to deal with the former. That conflict was with a CG coalition that came together to attack the HOA as a result of Andi Jones' supposed affiliation with Michael Simone. The resulting conflict lasted for several weeks before Siz woke up to discuss it with the relevant parties and ended it by 4/10/23.
== Season IX: Under New Management ==
Siz woke up one day and seen Nico and Luis's Worst Gen running around wearing lime green and with that held a meeting between Luis and High Command. Thinking the meeting went well after Luis explained the idea of worst gen, Siz was surprised to hear Luis felt interrogated by the meeting. This lead to Siz waking up later the same day and having a meeting with all of Worst Gen and Siz came to the conclusion that it would benefit the Worst Gen more if the current high command (Siz, Ant, Julio and GRL) handed the reigns of the HOA to the younger, more hungry Worst Gen members as well as making Izzy a full member of the HOA. Julio was put in a interim position of guidance before retiring due to Siz feeling Julio had more in the tank than Ant and Himself. The group of Worst Gen (Nico, Luis, Rod, Thom, Izzy and Hades) came to accept this offer by Siz and came up with a command structure with Nico as the leader and having 4 members of High Command under him consisting of Rod, Luis, Stanley and Mayumi. All members of High Command other than Nico were originally considered equal until Nico felt that other than Stanley, HC members were seeing themselves as equal to him as well and felt that HC needed structure. Stanley was named 2nd in command due to handling a short lived war with Dundee's new crew "the syndicate" very well and giving the gang much needed veteran insight on how to handle it. Luis was made 3rd due to causing less issues than Rod and May in meetings. Rod was made 4th in command and May 5th due to several cases of her in Nico's eyes showing more Loyalty to Yokai than HOA and put her Yokai command responsibilities above her HOA ones. This came true when Stanley and Julio woke up to Rod explaining a situation where Yokai blooded out W'Kabi (Fiancee of Merc) and Mary was talking badly about the HOA and said if Merc did anything about it she would call Hydra to fight them. This did not sit well with Nico and the rest of HC and ultimately lead to the decision of giving May a choice of being HC in HOA or HC in Yokai. May chose to not only step down from HOA HC but leave the gang as a whole. With May gone and Julio and Luis leaving to fight in the war of sanguine and ultimately being charged with treason for 30 years in prison. GRL decided to ask Nico about reclaiming her position in HC and all of HC agreed and with the acceptance of Luis (who was then 4th in command due to being in prison.) GRL was made 4th in command once again. 
With the departure of Mayumi, High Command felt like it was time to revitalize the HOA by bringing in some new blood and with that made long time CCB member Antoine an official hangaround of the HOA after successfully doing a meth run and doing half a vault on the same day. Wade brought up an idea of a reformatted version of HOA Academy as a way to vibe check potential recruits and reeducate HOA members on how to do things. This lead to a week of classes including a callouts class by Wade, A Blocking and Swapping class by Q and Merc and a Help the old lady class by Nico and Ant. A lot of people took part in this class including Aiko and Blue who Nico and Rod felt had earned their stake in becoming official hangarounds for the HOA and earning their crocs. Later on the crew made Marek, Taryn and Sean official hangarounds for the crew as well. 
== Finale - Season IX Part 2: House of Assassins ==
Nico, Rod and Wade felt the HOA needed a new direction and came up with a way to evolve the group away from common gang style jobs. The House of Assassins. Leaving the gang life behind them and acting as hitmen by acting out on small petty contracts put out by other crews and individuals and working their way up to big contracts. This lead to an in house event Nico, Max, Wade, Echo and Rod put together called Assassin. Throughout the week the group consisting of many members, hangarounds and associates including Mike Smoore who expressed interest in earning his HOA Battlepass would be split into randomised duos and would be each given a target of another contestant that they would have to knock out and bring to the Librarians (Max, Echo, Wade, Nico, Dante and Rod) for a coin. The winner of this event would receive 2 million dollars and a James Bond type car as well as a mystery prize. As the week concluded Mike had earned his battlepass. Turbo made his return as a very close friend to the HOA and explained the setbacks Nico and the HOA might face picking up contracts on people. After a week of hard work from the participants, Luis and Antoine won the event , Pilbus and Merc came in 2nd and Taryn and Marek came in 3rd. The teams in 1st, 2nd and 3rd were given golden library cards. After the event Lavante had a conversation with Nico and Thom explaining that Cardi B had asked him to be her personal hair stylist and told them that he had to leave Los Santos for good. The next week Wade informed Nico of a contract he wanted the hangarounds to do a hit on known HOA friendly cop Louis Bloom. Hesitant at first but after Wade explained how he only wanted Bloom to be beat up not killed, Nico agreed to let the yomplings take the hit on the agreement that they use specific cars that give them a way to build up to it throughout the whole week. 
This period marked another lull in the HoA's activity and brought the downfall of the city after the events of the Sanguine Isle War. Many of the HoA had left the city or went missing in action. 
== The End. ==
Five years have passed since the major shifts in power in the HoA have occurred. While the members of the now-defunct HOA were trying to get a foothold of themselves in the city post-collapse, Ant and Siz convened and met once more after 5 years of no-contact. Siz declared that the HoA no longer is operating nor will they return to Mirror Park as he states that they have left their mark in that place and want to build something new. Furthermore, Siz has begun creating new connections and potential partnerships in preparation of creating a new group from the ashes of the HoA. Preliminary plans include moving to Paleto and taking the Purple Dinosaur as their new mascot. 
== Gang Uniforms & Colors ==
From blacked-out clothing with bulletproof vests to leather kuttes and varsity jackets, the group's aesthetic has evolved since its inception:
Era 	Description 	Image
Mirror Park Patrol to 
Vinewood Patrol 
(2018 - 2020)	Initially leather jackets with police patches, it later evolved into an actual custom HOA uniform fit with custom HOA patches, HOA hats, and an HOA plate carrier. 	
Hogs of Anarchy
(2020 - 2023)	The not-your-typical biker gang with custom-made biker kuttes. Initially, each kutte had unique labels made for its wearer, but on 8/12/21 it was simplified to three ranks: High Command, High Stocks, and Low Stocks.
As the group evolved, numerous aesthetic changes were added, such as the addition of varsity jackets and further including their gang colors orange and blue (primarily orange) through various articles of clothing such as bandannas, hats, undershirts, etc.
On 9/6/22 Siz introduced a new uniform straight out of his personal wardrobe, a yellow and black patterned jacket (internally called the "Cabela jacket"), that temporarily usurped the Kutte as the most common uniform from 9/6/22-9/12/22 when the majority of the gang began wearing it due to peer pressure from Siz (and those already pressured to wear it). After 9/12/22 Siz stopped regularly peer pressuring the group to wear the outfit, so the standard uniforms became the norm once again (although Siz occasionally returned to enforcing the outfit as a group uniform when he desired, as first seen on 10/20/22).	thumb
Aviation Theme (2023 - 2023)	On 1/2/23 the HoA replaced the kuttes and other prior gang uniforms with a leather bomber jacket (as part of their movement away from being an MC and towards an aviation club) alongside a slew of other new gang-centric clothing that fit their new theme.	
== Gang Hierarchy ==
In their early days from late 2019 to mid 2020, the group did not have a solidified hierarchy. At the time members simply made up their own title and generally worked as equals. By 8/12/21, long after the group became the Hogs of Anarchy and the amount of members significantly increased (which had spurred the creation of the dedicated prospect rank "HOB" earlier that year), it became necessary to formalize a true ranking structure. This remained the only ranking structure until 8/29/22 when Siz established a new joke hierarchy based on Slimes, (a new form of zoomer lingo taught to him by Gulag Gang over a week beforehand). Siz decided to create these ranks after prior confrontations between himself and Stanley Wilkinson over the self-granted title of "King Slime" (the conclusion of which resulted in Siz maintaining his King Slime status, but awarding Stanley the title "Hand of the Slime King", along with a complementary novelty sticky-hand toy).
The below chart details the current ranks in the gang, with the right side being the current joke rank system.

== Gang/Shared Vehicles ==
From a regular COIL Brawler to a full-on fleet of Mercedes Benz AMG GT63's, the HoA have amassed a fleet of cars that they store in the Liquid Library's garage for every HoA member to use in daily activities.
