Em checks the weather too, prior to getting dressed. On her typist’s free days she might park herself in front of the computer with a big mug of coffee, while her typist wakes up. Then she usually heads to her job at the FD, often via a morningstop at the Grind for yet another mug of coffee. Then once she arrives at the station she puts on a fresh…[Read more]

I think this is a great idea. Somewhat of a tricky cookie to put into practice, but definitely not impossible! And seeing as people are released rather “early” for obvious reasons, this could provide something of an IC reason combined with follow-up RP. And seeing as Social Services have been something of a forgotten municipal branch, maybe an…[Read more]

I agree with Elin, I use it too when determining what my character is going to wear. I’m sure they just forgot to set it back to normal after the New Years greeting (ooor as stated above, it’s one hell of a New Year celebration :P).

Maybe they’ll see this thread and fire it back up!

Ahhh good ol’ Mardi Gras.. Aka “overtime day” for the fdh. 😂

You hit the nail on the head there in my book. While CD, at the time of its birth, was more or less a pure rape-sim (or so I’ve been told, it was before my time), it has evolved far beyond that, but it’s still advertised in a way that likely makes a lot of players expect a rape-scene to fall into their lap.

I agree with a lot of points above. Like Buffy says, there are plenty of RP going on outside the Hathian “Downtown” sim, like CU and even the surrounding sims. Granted it’s a bit trickier to “stumble across” spontanious RP out there, but it’s there! As for CD having become “Vanila”? I certainly wouldn’t say that.. it MIGHT have become more…[Read more]

I did nothing but stated facts, Trey. But if you’re reopening CSSARO, then the lifeguard-project is yours, and I’ll happily hand it over, assuming the admins are a-okay with it. ☺️

Hehe thank you Elin! IC’ly laying in the hospital all grumpy and stuff 😛

I don’t really have a straight answer on HOW to do this, but I do have a few suggestions. Of course if the CSSARO should ever return, they would be a given to take the helm of this area, as they did a lot of awesome water-based RP, but for now I’d say the FDH are the…[Read more]

I like the idea Elin! A lifeguard station could possibly spur some more activity along the beach. It’s true that the portion that we can actually walk into isn’t very deep (but it IS deep enough to swim in), but ICly it would quickly get deeper. As for messing up cuddle-scenes, what fun is cuddle/sex in public places without the risk to be caught?…[Read more]

Heh! Thank you both! And thanks all of you who gave feedback on Twitter! I’m one of those types who can definitely be cocky when I feel that I know what I’m doing. In this case however, I was very humble, because I surely did NOT feel that I knew what I was doing. 😛 So the feedback means a lot, thank you.

Since there are currently 3 threads about this, I’ll sum it all up here. Jack does make a few good points on one of the other threads here http://thecrackden.com/discuss/topic/no-cred-for-fdh/ .

I personally don’t see the street-cred system as that big of an issue (though this is coming from someone who got to Deviant rank from parking tickets…[Read more]

I finally learned how to quote properly, so round two..

You seem to have a lot of hostility towards Dimitri, I don’t know why, and it’s not really the right forum for it either. I WILL say that while we can’t like or get along with everyone, he surely did a lot to get the FDH lively. And as he said himself, he spent months taking calls…[Read more]

It’s a lot of Homeland Security stuff and another ‘authority’ that you as a player get to control. That alone makes me want to run to the hills after the way the FDH (while under you) attempted to include themselves in ALL RP that related to fire. To be honest, if it’s run like FDH was run regarding the mandatory inclusion in plots, I will just…

Going to chime in with a few things here. First off, the reason for the idea of CGSAR isn’t because the FDH are understaffed. It’s true that we sometimes still are, but this is getting better and better, the department IS starting to become lively again.. though it’s always a process, and a cycled one at that, ups and downs. But really, the state…[Read more]

For starters, I agree with everything said about Trey, he’s a great RPer, passionate in what he’s doing, and he’s always looking to actively involve people and create RP-opportunities. And to be candid, it was with mixed feelings that I took over after him, because he did do a grand job as captain.

As Trey stated in his post, I fully support this…[Read more]

Interesting discussion with many valid points. I figured I’d just slip in with a sidenote, a bit unrelated but at the same time a bit related, from the perspective of a paramedic RPer. It’s mostly meant to offer alternatives and clarification that, no, guns certainly do NOT mean death, in fact a knife can often do more damage than a…[Read more]
