san andreas mp

[shifty_uk]

Today I downloaded the San Andreas multiplayer...thingy, it all works fine!
The only problem I'm having is....what is this thing all about? What are the players/users suppost to be doing? I go into a server, and all I seem to be doing is running/driving around, I try and kill someone, and it doesn't work, then they kill me I'm just really confused as to what on earth your suppost to achieve by playing this. One guy told me to buy a house, he said I needed to stand in a red area or something...what red area? There is no red area around any of the safe houses. I also noticed that everyone on the player list has a different coloured name...what's that for? Does it mean the people with the blue name's are killable?

Please help
Just describe to me what it's about, and what I'm suppost to be doing.

Thanks.

how did u install this? mention exact steps

Nothing to do with the installation, the game works fine, everything is cool, apart from the gameplay, there's just nothing to do. I have managed to find a couple of servers that run the gang war mode, that was ok, but I think there must be some hacking going on, myself and 2 other yakuza's were standing shooting the crap out of this guy, then I ran up with a chainsaw....absolutely nothing happend he would not die! He just kept shooting back
There seems to be a lot of that going on.

If any of you guys are going on for a game, let me know.
