Hi Guys,

So there are some changes coming to the Den ... some of them you've probably already seen. BeBe, Paulo and I, along with a few others, have been throwing some ideas around to revive and enhance the existing RP in the Den.

Here are some "initiatives" we've started and/or planning:

1) Application Screening

BeBe is in-charge of this and she's been doing a great job filtering out those who don't take the time to read the welcome note and fill out the application properly. The RP at the den is known for it's quality and we want to maintain that ... in the time I've spent at the den, I've seen a lot of creative and awesome RP stories. Let's keep that up 😀 !

2) Overhaul the CDPD

The PD is probably the most organized and active group in the Den (correct me if i'm wrong 😛 ). We receive a lot of applications for people to join so we figured it's time to whip the piggies into shape and get them to RP actively.

Also, Capt. Benjamin Stoneage is now back and taking charge of the PD.

Strict Enforcement of the "Weapons Policy"
Citizens brandishing any weapon or visibly holstering anything bigger than small-arms will be cited/arrested by an officer of the CDPD.

To: All sworn officers of the CDPD
From: Captain Mahoney

We will be focusing on gun restriction laws in our city per our city municipal code. I want an aggressive enforcement of this code, citizens of Hathian inside the city limits are only allowed to have holstered small sidearms in plain view. If a sidearm is brandished inside the city or they are carrying any type of rifles even if they are slinged police will call in for back up and effect an arrest.

New Ranks

We've added the roles of "Sr. Patrol Officer" and "Lt." into the rank structure to allow extra opportunity for people to get promoted into.

SWAT established

Sgt. Trent Noonan is heading up a tactical team within the PD. This team will drive tactical training for ALL police officers (making teams and running drills against each other in the warehouse, etc.). They will also be used in special RP missions.

Establishment of the Hathian Fire Dept.

Arson is all too common in the Den ... so it made sense to start up the FDH. We have an experienced (both in RL & SL) fire chief now, Hazmat Fargis, who will take lead on building the RP for the fire dept. from the ground up.

If you wish to set a fire, please contact BeBe or a security member to set the fire out where ever you want it. (( Must be properly RP'd! - then IM security to set the fire out for you)).

This is still a work in-progress!

Melee Weapons!

What's more satisfying... shooting someone or beating the shit out of them with a shovel??

Working with the DCS system, melee weapons do more damage than guns... also, less lag on the sim than having to deal with a million bullets when a shoot-out takes place.

We plan to have CD melee weapons built and encouraged to use. Give us some creative ideas on what could be built as one!

Offering Rental Land / Lofts / Houses

Not everyone can afford to commit to purchasing land and the cost/time to build a place to live. So, we're planning to open up 512 sqm plots with low-prim housing built on them. Payments will be weekly based. More details to come!

Forums!

Well, if you're reading this, then you're already involved! Forums will be used for tracking stories, feedback, etc. BeBe and I are always open for discussion on new ideas & suggestions 🙂
