Thank you all for your constructive contributions so far. Just jumping in for a few comments.

– Not reacting to a gun / being fearless when threatened to be shot is actually against the rules. It’s ‘hiding behind death limits’. Of course it’s not black and white, some characters are easier to scare than others, and once and then there even might…[Read more]

There is nothing immature about speaking to admins when people have an issue or simply want clarification about sim rules. We are contacting people not to admonish them, but to explain our rules and policies so we all can move on and avoid further problems. Please don’t feel offended just because we talk to you, we are not out to punish or ban…[Read more]

We are aware of these issues, and Nadir is working on fixes (as far as they can be fixed from our side). If people need reinvites and the reinviters fail repeatedly, please point them to Alexandra Melune, me (Bluebell Noel) or Perina McGinnis, they can leave us offliners, too, and we will catch them asap to send reinvites. Also, all leads can…[Read more]

I apologize that the wording in the guide seems to be misleading, I will ask Nadir to rewrite the quoted section asap. But in that same guide, under ‘basics’, you will find this:

“A suspect must be witnessed committing a crime, a 911 called made, or OOC consent given in order for any arrest. In the event you are unsure whether a suspect is…[Read more]

There are many ways to deal with a criminal/unruly youth character, it doesn’t have to be an arrest. Blue’s kids have been in trouble repeatedly, and the consequences varied from dragging them back home, threatening to put them into foster care, informing their teachers, threatening to sue their mother, beheading their stuffed animals, calling…[Read more]

To clarify: Lyssandra is right. Cops do not need consent to arrest you. If you commit a crime – or even if they just want to harass you – you are game. That does not mean that you can’t run, fight, bribe, talk your way out of an arrest. RP it out and you might be able to get away. It also does not mean that you can’t have a private scene without…[Read more]

Street cred reflects activity, so there might be a drop when you RPed less than before. Residence on sim indeed gives a little boost, as do forum posts, btw. http://thecrackden.com/about/story-hud/

Thanks, James, for starting this thread and thanks for all your constructive input! Please keep the suggestions and critique going. For now I just want to throw in some remarks about the use of NPCs to clarify.

Chong, I totally share your dislike for NPCs, but I think in some cases we simply need them, and the hospital and the station are those…[Read more]

Try the reinviter (the blue sign) at the TP point, it should reinvite to the landgroups, too. If that doesn’t work, as Buffy said – IM one of us and we will re-add you.

It’s automated, as soon as one of the rental boxes runs out, you will get evicted from the group, even if you have another rental. There is hope that this can be fixed one…[Read more]
