    Sorry but disparaging the leads of HCS and the Prison in BW is simply not seeing the realities of the situation. I’ve worked with both Why (Yummy Tamela) over at HCS and El (Elara Addams) in the prison.

    Obviously, I wasn’t disparaging anyone since I had no idea who was even supposed to be running HCS, so it wasn’t anything personal. But yes, I…[Read more]

    I personally don’t think it necessary or advisable to punish well known players in CD with interminable time frames to “establish” a faction. That’s a serious impediment to role play and generating stories, and isn’t that what we’re here for? Even if a gang lasts three months or three years, they bring role play to the area which is so badly…[Read more]

    <span style=”font-family: ‘Open Sans’; font-size: 13px;”>I can count on one hand how many actually agreed to parole or probation terms, much less long term incarceration, despite seeing somewhere around a hundred or more people tossed in jail…some of which should have seen real, long term consequences. Without forcing such a system on folks,…[Read more]

    So, I feel like the city of Hathian needs more real world government and civil organizations, especially for gangs to actually have consequences. I notice that a lot of gangs do the same tired things: Retaliate against each other, randomly attack people, randomly attack cops, randomly explode other gang’s or other people’s events and then suffer…[Read more]

    I would like to make a suggestion that someone with building rights go through the sims and fix the roads, buildings, etc from ground coming up through the roadways and buildings. The sims are starting to looking sloppy and as though someone with newbie building skills put them up. It’s getting to the point that you can’t drive your vehicles on…[Read more]

    I think it sounds like a good idea. I hope you get the chance to put it in play. Like all ventures, someone is going to really have to work it to make it viable. Will definitely check it out. Maybe we can hold criminal conventions there. Are there any kind of special events for the business that you’ve thought of?

    Try this again. Uggh.

    This is a great example of the negative thought emote. Honestly, as I have learned role playing over the last fifteen years, this kind of negative thought emoting is just simply bad form and etiquette. And even in some instances can result in many sims as a mod call. There are so many different ways that a person can…[Read more]

    Well, there are rules to role play to help minimize this sort of thing. I think experienced role players have all had some people put into IC what are clearly OOC feelings and motivations. Negative thought emotes and OOC feelings into IC are the cardinal sin of good role play. If you’re going to think something bad…..then just say it where it…[Read more]

    HOW NOT TO BE A RACIST WHEN PLAYING A RACIST CHARACTER.

    So, I know a lotta folk be playin’ a white supremist lately. And I’m okay with that. IF IT’S DONE RIGHT. I would like to talk about ways to ensure that  if you’re playing with a black character, who just might be black in real life, too, that there’s certain things you might want to do to…[Read more]

    To say that making a rule concerning other combatants is micro managing role play is really just saying any rules regarding role play then is micromanaging and I can’t see that as a legitimate reason. That would actually mean the rules on gun use is micromanaging and I think the consensus is that it is not. Correct? We also have other rules such…[Read more]

    Okay, let’s try this again: LOL

    So, I think you have to be really careful when you start using “realism” as your litmus test as for what’s appropriate in role play. We put rules on all kinds of things to promote good role play. For CD, it’s limiting the use of guns. Is it realistic to draw a gun right away if you’re robbing a shop, getting…[Read more]

    Having role played in CD for a number of years on one character or another, and having role played in many different sims throughout SL, I would really like to see some changes to combat. I know CD is old school, but I still think there are tweaks that would make combat between groups, especially gangs more enjoyable for everyone.

    1) Most role…[Read more]
