Name: Alex Storm Main role on the server: Civ Time at ANZUS: 5 days Opinions on each rule and what you voted: 1. Sure. I've had no real experience either way on this, but I do think the police should be trusted with forming up their own taskforces with the numbers they think best for the situation at hand. 2. I've never participated in such large an action, as such I do not mind either way. 3. I hesitated a lot over that one, and I'm going to end up saying no. I definitely agree that illegal runs need to be vastly more risky than legal runs, provided the reward matches the level of risk of course. However I am afraid that it might detract from the cartel/turf cut system. As it is refusing to give them a cut gives in turn that gang a roleplay reason to rob you. Once you get rid of that requirement, the system becomes redundant. Why care after all, if it strikes their fancy they'll rob you anyway ! So I believe no, at least unless an alternative where this system is either changed to offer some upsides with the new rules, or the rule itself is built around it, for example preventing robberies on a cartel run if you don't control the cartel, and the person have paid the fee. Either way, I think it is simply too good of a concept to bury. 4. Oh no. Hell no. I came here straight from one of those half wasteland servers, where gangs literally do nothing but rob people day in, day out, take everything they have, resell of their vehicles and equipment, and execute anyone who doesn't instantly comply. I really, really don't want this server, which has proven a mostly awesome RP experience so far, to turn into that. Especially as that system would basically allow you to rob anyone anywhere for any damned reason, hence making the protection to legal runs effectively null and void. Yes, if people don't want to be assholes it won't be as bad, but I don't believe just blindly trusting everyone to not be an ass is a recipe for disaster. Hell, even with the protections in place I was robbed and taken hostage on my very first ruby run, and it sucked. If it became commonplace rather than an exception, it would basically make the proposed difference between legal and illegal runs void, as you'd basically get attacked doing both, and drive new players away. Plus it would take away from the scenarios that permit initiation right now, and make any interactions between two armed groups a mexican standoff at best, an instant firefight at worst. After all, if you try to talk and don't immediately open fire as you're failing to comply, the other side might get the first shot in and thus gain the advantage ! Acknowledgement that you've taken a spoonful of concrete: Yes. Crunchy. The destruction of my oral cavity shall pave the way for its replacement by the blessed machine. ALL HAIL THE OMNISSIAH !
