OKAY, SO!
This is the thread for the Buena Vista Social, the official PA D&D GTAV crew. This is where members - and if you're playing GTAV on the 360 or PS3 and want to play with D&D folks, you should be a member! - will schedule events, talk shop, and critique each other's fashion and haircut choices. This is not a general GTAV thread, however; keep discussion of the single-player game to the threads in G&T and SE.
After GTA Online launches, your glorious leaders - Elki and Irond Will and myself - will be scheduling a series of official crew events, including races and tennis and golf tournaments. Winners will receive prizes. Prizes are rad. You know you want them.
Here's what you do:
1) make an account at http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/ Link it to your Gamertag or PSN ID.
2) Click the link in the OP.
3) If your Rockstar name, Gamertag or PSN ID don't make it obvious who you are on the forum, put it in your status field or post it to the crew feed on the site. People whose forum identity is confirmed will be promoted to Representative.
4) Choose an avatar. Don't be that guy with a white square.
OCCASIONALLY-ASKED QUESTIONS
What do crews do?
It's a bigger friends list - during matchmaking, crew members will be given priority to populate your world. It doesn't mean you're auto-teamed or anything; two BVS members may hunt and ruthlessly murder each other to their hearts' content. It's just a nice way to play with people you know without having to futz around with Xbox Live Parties or other ad hoc solutions.
Crews will also apparently accrue in-game benefits based on size and accomplishments, but I'm not sure what yet. More as this develops.
I'm already a member of another crew!
You can join multiple Rockstar crews, so don't let that stop you.
Where's the PS3 crew?
Crews are cross-platform. Actual play isn't, but the other features (messaging, etc), as well as whatever benefits the crew accrues, will carry over.
Can my buddy/wife/roommate join?
Sure! Just have them leave a note ("I'm Gooey's evil twin", "I"m Sarksus's podiatrist") in the status area or Feed so we know who they are.
What's the point of the Crew Hierarchy?
It's like a guild in an MMO - moving up it gives more access to guild controls. What I've chosen to do is to reserve the rank of Representative and above to confirmed members of the forum in good standing. We'll also be picking out a few Lieutenants to be there to help settle any issues or disputes that may arise in-game.
Someone was a dick to me in the game!
I really hope this won't even be a thing, but if it is, please do not take it onto the forums. "Drama from video games" is not part of D&D's mandate. Bring problems to the attention of crew leadership on the social club website or in the game.
How do I get the handlebar mustache?
Go to LifeInvader.com - the real actual internet site, not in the game - sign in with your Social Club account, and look for the Herr Kutz page. Select "Stalk" and it will unlock a few new coiffure options.

Dudes do I need to buy an Xbox specific headset or will my Bluetooth work like for my PS3 and computers? This will be the first time I have actually used Live for multiplayer.

No, I don't fancy myself as an uber-sniper, that was the first adjective-noun combination XBox offered me that didn't sound retard.

Bluetooth will not work, you'll need to get a headset. Decent over-the-ear one will run you about $20 or so.

Edit: The Social Club has been fucked for like a week now. I click join to no effect.
Yeah I cant log in either.
In GTA Online it will let you select the option of playing with fellow crew members rather than having to invite individuals.
