Police Force
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.

I don't. Actually have a character who does much for the force anymore, so even though I'D TOTALLY BE AROUND TO HELP LIKE. ALL THE TIME. I probably shouldn't
I forgot what I was saying. THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. FUCK ADRI WHY DID YOU WANT ME TO COMMENT AAAH /licks Eli instead.

Communities just. Don't work in this situation, IMO. You can't future-date posts in communities. You could have a links list, I guess, but this seems easier. And police force characters could have new posts on notif and IDK /RAMBLES
There is only one who gets to lick Eli.

I was just worried that it was too restrictive that way, buuuut. I guess if even just a handful of people have it, it's unlikely they'd ALL BE ON HIATUS/DROP AT THE SAME TIME, and even in that case, the password could be passed on to someone else. So. Yeah, I guess there's not a lot that would require NEW POSTS ALL THE TIME, so a lot could be handled in comments and someone could edit the post later if need be.

I was thinking form for future crimes, IC sign-up, and a list of the laws for easy access would be all the journal would really need as far as permanent posts go. Everything else would be the cases.
