Police Force

[coniurati]

Because apparently it's Mod Spam Night!

Many of you may have noticed a scarcity of the Police Force as of late, and there's a reason for this! Basically, we've had an attrition of members, a loss of a leader, and a loss of interest from the community in general.

Now, the Police Force in kind of a big deal, because without it, we've got nothing left but vigilante justice and a jail that can't be kept up. All of our lovely, cherished villainous creatures out there could simply run amok! And we've got a lot of law & justice types out there that wouldn't be too keen on that. But at the same time, without enough of the playerbase behind it, it simply can't be upheld.

SO

We'd like to talk to you guys about it.

We're of the opinion that the Police Force is something that's simply inevitable, as there's always going to be a character (or more likely, several characters) that are going to notice the lack thereof and try to make something of the sort to fill the gap. But it's kind of obvious that the system we have going now isn't working as well as it should. Some of the main concerns are:

- Low Membership. This is the biggest problem. A lot of characters that were on the Force have just plain left Discedo, and others have simply quit. In order for it to function properly, it needs more members. How do you propose we solve this?

- Leadership. Currently, the Force doesn't have a leader. We've already figured out that it needs something of the sort, so that's a moot point. So it needs a new one! Or more ideally, more than one new one. This would be in case of one character leaving, going on hiatus, etc, the Force wouldn't be stuck without.

- Laws. the laws that have already been established need to be re-hashed, or re-instated at the very least. There are many characters and even players that don't know them at all, and therefore they could be broken pretty easily. who would like to do this? Who would be in charge?

- Organization. Some sort of page needs to be made, so all of this information can be easily accessed by everyone. Us mods are willing to help on this one of course, but we're going to need all of the information to put on it first!

- Cooperation. We're looking at you, Discedo badguys. Up to no good? Well, you're going to have to let the Police Force know, OOCly of course. It doesn't mean you'll have to be caught right away of course, but our boys in blue are gonna have to be on the up and up if they're gonna do their jobs properly!

And that's it for our main concerns. Note, however, we're not saying that the Force absolutely has to stay. If these things can't be ironed out, disbandment is certainly an option.

Thanks everyone for your time and patience! It's gonna be tough, so we really appreciate it.

Yeah, and that's part of the problem with having it mod-run - definitely oocly we will need you guys around, but if we do it right, that won't be a problem XD ITS NOT LIKE WE DONT SEE YOU LIKE EVERYDAY so.

exactly -- i'd very much like for it to be in the hands of the people who are playing those characters, at least for the most part. but again, i think the mods' job would be to serve as the link between the police and criminals, since we handle the chip removal/death/plot pages and actually have that information. i'd like to work out a streamlined system so that we can get the necessary information to the people who are in charge of dealing with it, and possibly help come to conclusions about how the police can deal with things (and, of course, the scientists can always put chips back in for people who have been baaaaad boys and girls), but...it really would be nice to see people step forward and help us with it too

LMAO POLICE ZOMBIE. i mean, ed's kiiiiind of helping out sometimes? he fixes the jail when people break it ;; but otherwise, magical girl and grumpy boy aren't exactly police material. maybe sometime in the future i could reapp suki or something, idk

yyyes, that is definitely a good idea - and I did like the idea of the scientists helping out that way a lot. I was sad when it kind of...went by the wayside. :<

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF WELL HE IS FULL OF BURNING JUSTICE so idk.

what? i thought that was always assumed to be the case. when did people stop thinking the scientists did stuff like that? and did it have anything to do with the scientist request page going totally MIA?

\o/ FIGHTO POLICE ZOMBIE

weeeeellll tbh the scientists used to be a lot more active and without them posting once in a while they...idk. I know Ace was the one who liked everyone the most XD but yeah, the scientists....have kind of gone forgotten, I think, especially for a lot of the new people/characters who never interacted at all with them. Of course I know that you guys are really busy and all so. yeah idk /ramblesss

HE CAN TURN PEOPLE INTO SHEEEEEEP
