I'm agreeing with some of what was said in the handful of comments above.
While I don't want to add to the mods' work, I think either a mod page or a new community may be beneficial to organizing all of this. I say that because, should one of us make a page on our IC journal, it would be awkward and impractical to use it if we're on hiatus/no longer in Discedo.
I DO think that the organization of the police force should be worked out, and I have a few ideas.
These aren't just set in stone type things, and I'm willing to refine them. They're ROUGH ideas at best. orz
- A signup page which could serve as the criminal justice/law enforcement/what have you records ICly and reference OOCly.
- Perhaps some sort of page that handles police reports, although this would be more or less optional and is just a suggestion. You know, because most players report things via communicator, etc, it's just... disorganized and the entire police force is not aware and there's little communication widely.
- Three leaders or heads seems ideal for the reasons listed in the posts above (drops, hiatuses, etc). They could be 'elected' and the final decision could be made on each of them by either the mods or the current members of the force respectively.
Now, HOW they get elected... ideally I think we could have nominations, i.e., a form one needs to fill out with qualifications and the like. That said, there should also be a point made that activity is needed for that sort of job and if a hiatus needs to be taken, communication really needs to be had.
- A community would really help with keeping records of past criminal activity; a kind of log.
- Law revisions could be made every two months or as the situation calls for it (sometimes plots bring new issues to mind, etc). That gives things time to settle and new characters time to adjust.
Should there need to be a revision off-schedule, a discussion post could be made oocly and we could icly iron the details out once those things are taken care of.
As far as reiterating the laws so that new members are aware of them: That's... a little tricky and I'll get back to you on that, considering every two months seems awkward. Perhaps a post should be made about the laws once a month by the lawyers? IDK.
Ummm, and that's all I have to say at the moment. Sorry, distracted and tired.
