Everyone on the FDH pretty much has to derender all the rain prims cause you can’t click on the bits of the ambo and fire truck with them in the way. It’s a lag-making nuisance in my eyes; I vote for removing it.

I have had many many interactions with Peri over the years and one thing she has never done is ignore me; she is always Johnny-on-the-spot in getting back to me. I don’t really have much call to ping Blue about anything, but from what others tell me she is always very approachable as well.

Things are indeed happening!  We have a shiny new mesh…[Read more]

We have a new firehouse now; it is much more user friendly than the old one. I’d like to extend a big thank you to Nadir for it; it’s more capacious and should really enhance our RP!

Congratulations to Nadir on his marriage!

And thank you to Loz for mentioning the fire permission rules. There’s been a lot of confusion about them among the player base, so I’ll restate them here:

Property owner permission is needed in /all/ cases.

Admin permission is needed /only/ if the business will be unavailable for RP for /more than 3…[Read more]

A couple of comments that are FDH-specific:

We have been very fortunate over the years to have very good support from the admin staff. Peri has always moved heaven and earth to get us what we needed, and we have been given a wide degree of latitude to run the department as we see fit.  I can’t emphasize enough how much that has helped and how…[Read more]

I agree with most all that’s been said. It’s good that there are still many players interested in CD alive.

I think that Blue and Peri are doing a very good job keeping the sim running. Having more admins might help, but only if they are up to the standards of the ones we have. I have seen many promising sims die because the admins are not up to…[Read more]

Thank you Blue! A revamp of the system is long overdue and will be greatly appreciated!

@Lyss, I’m glad they fixed that exploit!

If I ran the place, tbh, I’d just ban all firearms except for police on duty only, who should have to earn it as they currently do. I started out in Midian City, which was super bad about everyone carrying uber-powerful firearms and then doing unrealistic stuff with it. The fun fights I’ve had have always…[Read more]

Dunno? Never heard anyone say they got their armed citizen tag yanked when leaving the HPD. And AFAIK it has always persisted across characters.

Honestly, I think the “armed citizen” tag does put newbies off. I’ve Rped in CD on and off since 201, and heavily for at least 3 years, and I made the decision early on that my character would be essentially noncombatant and run from a fight, mostly because I felt that I could never win a fight, so why try?  I knew that no amount of job cred…[Read more]

I would definitely participate and I’m sure other members of FDH would too.

Your Maman is SO delighted to see you home!

We would be happy to cooperate with a lifeguard group.  Please let me know if I can help in any way.

I would not ordinarily comment on personnel matters in a public forum, but since Trey is making accusations, let’s set the record straight. CSSARO is no longer running because its lead did not follow the terms of approval of the organization with respect to its relationship with FDH, was unprofessional and disrespectful in interaction with our…[Read more]

OMG Emmers!

I was reading this at work, and everybody was looking at me wondering why I was crying.  So much I didn’t know about Em, so well written. Thank you for psoting this.

If you’d like to OOCly arrange for it to burn down (either an IC arson, or an IC training burn – where the owner donates the structure to the FD to burn down for training purposes, rather than having to demolish it) just contact Emmers, Rog or I and we can do that!
