"So two years pass since the situation with the video and by now I'm like a super rich guy right." Says Troy in an interview. " By now I live in a 125 million dollar mansion on the outskirts of Venturas, that I've had built from the ground up. At this time my aunt Erin was my agent, and she was on business somewhere in South Africa. So I'm at home one day and she calls me and tells me some mega star wanted to play poker with me tomorrow in Los Santos, San Andreas by the name of Devin Weston . So I'm like Banging this chick while I'm talking to Erin right? so I'm like Erin reschedule it for next week or something. She's like he's gonna be gone somewhere out of the country next week. So I tell her fine, I call one of my pilots, we fly out to San An for my first time ever I was kinda excited. I get to the airport and immediately one of Devin drivers takes my bags and stuff. So we go and arrive at his mansion in Tongva hills. I'm like super parched so i ask the driver could I get some water and he's like go to the back and drink water from his pool. I'm like sure why not. So I go around back to his pool and start drinking like it was normal, and as I was coming up for air I noticed a blonde woman napping on a lounge chair across from me with the words

"Von Crastenburg" written on the front of her what seemed to be diamond encrusted robe, and all I could remember was the hotel situation. So his butler walks me into the house and I noticed that there were a lot of big named celebs playing poker and talking trash, Devin notices me come up to me and forced one dude up and gave me his chair. We're all playing poker, and these guys were all legit players. The money on the table was like 200 million, I won like 60, Devin won like 78, MADD Dog won 90, it was crazy there all like we should do this again. So I leave and fly back to Venturas. On the flight there was an unknown woman who snuck onto to my jet. My security team is yelling threats to kill her, she's begging for her life, groupies are in the corner screaming, it's just chaos, I'm thinking I'm gonna die. She says she just wanted to meet Troy."

"I mean it's crazy you have to book visits for him, get him out of trouble because he's just a big man child with money. Like there was a time in Vice City where he was flirting with this Armenian model named Natalie and they were hitting it off. She started leading him to a porta potty on the beach. I had to go pee so I go and tell them to hurry up, I open up the porta potty and there Having sex with each other, Like literally having Sex. Come to find out this woman was married to an FIB agent with like three children. So you can only imagine how that went.

Revision as of 17:58, 27 August 2019
Starting a new page on Fandom takes only a couple of clicks and is an important part of contributing to a community. This page, starting with the video below, will walk you through the basics.
Step by step
Click on the Add button (it appears as Add New Page if you are an anonymous user) on the top right of your community header.File:Addnewpagebutton 2019.png
The "Create a new article" box will open.
You can choose the article name by typing it in the box. This name will become the last part of the page's URL.
Decide between a standard page layout or a blank page. The standard layout provides image and video placeholders as well as section headings. The preload contents for the "Standard layout" are stored at MediaWiki:Createpage-with-video on your community and can be edited by local admins. If VisualEditor is enabled and this pop-up opens when viewing a regular page, the layout option will not appear.
A second way to create a page is by clicking on any red link on your community (which is created by linking to a page that does not exist). You will then be brought into the editor where you can add your content.
A third way to create a page on some communities is using any inputboxes that exist on a community. A local community may have added inputboxes, possibly in Project namespace, to create a page with a preloaded layout. Local communities should direct users to these inputboxes if preferred.
A fourth way to create a page is to use a Special:CreatePage link which can be added to a community anywhere where wikitext works.
Options
The choices in Special:Preferences
