DC Role Play - Change to Police

Well at least I haven't shot Stingray yet ^^. DC brass, we need to decide upon and post policy here or things are going to get ugly... *Drops nightsticks and fumbles for his Kalashnikov* The pirates are going to riot if we don't give a better explanation and I don't know how long I'll be able to hold them back

DEALING WITH PIRATES

- you need to identify such first; If you see someone asking for tax in system channel you're free to attack him without warning; If someone complain that he been taxed or been asked for tax you're free to investigate the case (which means you can escort the player and see yourself does he will be asked for tax); If you see trade ship (freighter or train) been attacked by someone else will be concidered as pirate too;
- pirates are hunted untill they go away
- pirates will be concidered those players who attack others with level bellow or equal to 45 without reason

INTERCEPTING SMUGGLERS

- first what will be concidered as smuggling - smuggling will be if player with level over 45 is caught with black market goods in his cargo hold; Player level limitation is there to free new players from any problems so they could concentrate on getting started and explore the mod; Evrybody else caught with black market good nomatter does he have been caught before for that day already or not will be used a procedure described bellow; Black market goods are all goods with black market tag (example - goverment list agents) and cardamine
- you need to find such this means you can spot him without purpouse (like passing by and scan a nearby player ship); you can look for smugglers with purpouse means you look for player (locate and scan him) however do that in descrete way - do your "investigation" for illegal goods from distance without annoing and disturbing your target of investigation - this is the smart and inteligent way to be done; you can find smuggler when you have set a blockade means you sit at gate station or somewhere else where traders usually go through so you can scan their cargo
- after you have identified a smuggler and he is in visual range you need to hail him (best to do that in system channel); Give a warning message that he is carring illegal goods (means smuggling) and need to kill his engines and drop the cargo; If he drop the cargo - destroy it all; If he dont cooporate and/or start running - kill him; In case he use escort and he dont cooporate to kill engines and drop the cargo your first target is the escort - untill you dont deal with it you cant fire at the smuggler; If he escaped or have been caught before will means nothing to you - each time you need to proceed in same way if he carry black market goods when you scan him; In case that smuggler and/or his escort start shooting without responding you're free to fire back and again if there is an escort - it will be your first target;
- stopping people from smuggling means we, as police, wont smuggle too; there are others alternative ways to do money in legal way;
- all are equal - we, other police clans, military clans, pirate clans, traders and freelancers

OTHER STUFF

- try to help others - give them info if they need such but dont tell them evrything - the pleasure of game is to explore
- deal with npcs invasions like Dom'Kavash and Nomad invasions
- no Role Play will be done in clan systems, New York, Arena or at areas where event is running at the moment
- smugglers or pirates that cause too much problems might be hunt ...

PcForce: pirates will be concidered those players who attack others with level bellow or equal to 45 without reason

Strange definition... dont apply to us

We're still hammering it out a little...come back and check again next week, hehehe :O.

good luck with ur new role and i hope u have lots of fun

The last time I saw a low level Pilot gunned down was 2 nights ago by a member of KRT. No explaination, no remorse. Even the Police need policing sometimes. Who will watch the watchers?

And I would also like to apoligise publicly to StingRay. That was me the other night. Too much time with too little action is my only defence. I had been hunting you for 1/2 an hour when i finally caught you and I got lost in a rush of blood (yours unfortunately)

[27]For pirates that is easy. If I wanna help out a noob that continue to be killed by evil police i just tax the police. But I think that also the DC could do the same (no taxing obviously) if they believe their action is right.....there should be a police rule somewhere stating: we are here to uphold the law and protect all the freelancers of Sirius....when they are not smuggling

Police to police the police? That would be IAD: Internal Affairs Division. Again i offer the services of CFPD. Of course those that feel they have been treated unfairly can always form a coalition to try and oust the police forces

I would love the chance to caught someone with an screenshot, doing something he wouldn't like to be caught doing, and them blackmail him [8]

The problem with the in-place policy is that it's too restrictive. We're not even allowed to shoot at a pirate unless we hear him/her trying to tax a person over system chat. The DC will be fine in their police role as soon as they've found the right rules to get what they need to do done.

(as for the screenshots, I've got over 800, so maybe there's one you're looking for somewhere in that folder ^^)

hm, about that taxing
well, if you hear a pirate tring to tax someone and he write that in system chat, i think it would be the best thing to come to the player who is taxed, to offer him help and to destroy the pirate.
i see that situation from this position.
what do you think about it ?

Because of what you said "If they tax in system chat..", every pirate will now tax in PM...so that officially is nul...Heh

Im glad DC aren't focusing on smugglers...Heh, gl LP and PiA. Y'all ever need help with these upstarts, give us a call.

Cya in space DC...Just try and catch us,
--Blur

LPs are required to tax over the system channel. Its part of the role play.

Some of the Pirates appear more honest than some of the Police. Maybe LP could give KRT some lessons in morals.
