    ROLEPLAYING REAL, HUMAN EVIL -- Civil Protection Behavior Guide: The Mannerisms of Mundane Tyrants

    I will say, I'm not wholly comfortable with people using real-world horrors and media related to such topics as reference points to try and 'perfect' their Civil Protection characters. There are plenty of similarities you could draw between the Combine and the Nazis/Soviet Union, yeah, but...

    (Final) My Critique of how Civil Protection Is Handled, and What I'm Going To Do to Fix It.

    A ton of this disconnect is from IC circumstances, primarily regarding the whole arc between City 8 and City 24 units having to mesh with each other in different cultures and work expectations. It isn't Ozz and I being on different wavelengths OOCly, I think we're pretty aware of the disconnect...

    Violation of Civic Trust

    Works for me. The name itself is fitting, plus the actual meat of the violation is sensible. I question how often it'll be used, though. We'll see once we implement it.

    Felix Poelking - Free

    Rest in Peace. The best parts of roleplay are the motivations and developments spurred from the sudden loss of characters that meant much to many others, as I'm sure Poelking's death will incur in many characters. It's narratively better for the story to be ended tragically than to fade into...

    A Maybe Too Honest, Too Unfunny, Too Weird Critique of Willard's Roleplaying Environment, Mindset, and Community/Gameplay. 5/22/2024

    One other thing rq, but I respectfully disagree with the 100% unmoderated language take. I heavily respect media that uses harsh language, slurs, violent themes, etcetera due to their very real world existence. It can add a lot of weight and grit to stories if done correctly. However… This is...

    A Maybe Too Honest, Too Unfunny, Too Weird Critique of Willard's Roleplaying Environment, Mindset, and Community/Gameplay. 5/22/2024

    I agree with a good chunk of this post, especially concerning the Civil Protection. Unfortunately, due to work and real life circumstances, I’ve been unable to keep as tight of a grip on the faction as I’d like to. Life’s been getting very busy for me, and it’s knocked the importance of the...

    Ultima's bad faith report

    Expanding on this just a bit more, I really do encourage you guys make a thread if you wanna express concerns and critiques about how I, Ozz, or faction management may be misstepping. We wanted to give the Rank Leads a bit more autonomy and power to handle this arc, as before they’d rely solely...

    Current State of Rebel RP and why it sucks

    It's not my duty, lol. I'm defending the people you're critiquing.

    Current State of Rebel RP and why it sucks

    We don't get paid to do this stuff, y'know. 90% of the staff team are doing this to try and provide a fun experience for players. There are so many facets to running this stuff—trying to get balancing correct, discussions regarding these topics, propping the server, creating narratives...

    Blackmarks Defined / Appeal to Unjustified Punishments

    You're intentionally leaving out some crucial details. You were initially PK'd for talking crazy, and the Rank Leader was threatened by what you were saying. Genuinely, with what I was reading, my Captain would have thrown you into the de-materializer. You just don't say that type of shit, even...

    Blackmarks Defined / Appeal to Unjustified Punishments

    Is this an appeal for your blackmark, or a thread requesting clarity for what warrants blackmarks?

    Blackmarks Defined / Appeal to Unjustified Punishments

    The Command Unit Guide, which you have access to, goes into more detail as to what justifies a blackmark. Just like our way of charging citizens with certain violations, the reasons for charging are intentionally kept broad, and we don't have a list of examples as to what violations would apply...
