Have your say: Should the Arteria Arm Stay as a Permanent faction following the event? Due to high popularity.

It may be early to talk about this. A more detailed plan will be laid out if popularity continues and approval is shown.
The past few days I've asked as many members in game as possible cadre included. If given the chance to continue being a conscript after the event which I might add most of us are having an absolute blast taking part in. Big kudos to the event staff and cadre for working on such short notice and doing so well. I'm here today posting this on behalf of the 103rd, Or at least a fairly large portion of it.

To answer a few early questions you may have...
1. Where would the base be: As of now we would more then likely continue using our small area I.E reception of the Lower loyalist housing that was previously un-used as a barracks to house returning veteran Arteria soldiers who would be stationed in C24.
2. What their job would likely be: Much with any reservist they would continue training in absence and be a use to the state likely taking part in extremely dangerous and hazardous work shifts, Or Potentially once enough trust is established between the Unit and the CA. They might opt to throw them into the fray in the sewers against the resistance and xenian as opposed to Sending OTA Blindly in firstly for a man with a knife, This would give both parties RP and potential character development and wouldn't result in an instant death warrant for the resistance giving the rp a chance to potentially flourish.

(More to come soon!)

Feel free to discuss your Opinions below related to the topic. Please be civil we don't need a turf war breaking out.
(It's important to note that we'd likely do away with Penal battalions, And that those who would make up the C24 Arteria Garrison would likely be comprised of battle hardened loyalists)

My only issue is that the Conscripts are very self contained; by that I mean they are behind restricted biogates on a non-travelled part of the map.

This means they essentially have the same issue with "secret base syndrome" that old rebelRP used to have. Aka your not interacting with the greater portion of the server, which leaves a lot of people left out of roleplay opportunities and hence quitting since there is nothing to do.

Yes!

We're thinking of allowing Conscripts to roam around Victory as a form of leave on weekends in their Base OD Green BDU's, (I.E Uniform top pants and combat boots maybe a cap.) To help combat that so we're not all cooped up in the barracks 24/7. I think it'll also be good for RP and the IC Economy aswell if on friday evenings we did a barracks inspection or something akin to this and those who performed well would be issued a small sum of Credits and be given their CID which they'd turn in after returning from leave.

As they're in the city they'd likely be subject to more scrutiny or searches by Civil Protection.

 

[verTix]

absolutely fucking not

this is how you remove citizen pop (the very base you need for city hl2rp to function)

conscripts in the city are a stupid idea in the long run and would destroy any sort of faction ratio balance that exists

No

The AA is great for this event and for expeditions. You'll get to enjoy the AA for a couple of months but then this will all go back to normal at the end of their service period. Hopefully by then Atle would have finished the new version of the map so you don't all get annoyed at the map again and I don't have to distract you with things like the AA.

Wdym "A couple of months" ?

You'll know when it happens.

I think it's a creative idea but like verTix said, it'll fuck up the citizen population. It also would step on the toes of the Civil Protection, another paramilitary faction. That mean you'd have two paramilitary factions and one main military faction on the server. Better to keep them as an event faction or integrate them in the citizen population somehow.

While your presence will be short on the server - the 103rd won't be gone forever likely. You'll have your battalion be placed onto the world map somewhere and will likely be used in future events in due time. Given that the 103rd is not wholly wiped out in C2.
