Hi, seems my invitation to the current status quo was decidedly met with a sim ban on part of Julian Heckler. I’m very disappointed with this as ideally I’d have liked to provide value to the sim, and even in the instance where all my feedback would be ignored I’d have still liked a chance to adapt?

If any admins are available for this I’ll be…[Read more]

Thanks for joining the thread Lyssandra, and I’m sorry there’s personal incentives you’d like to address here in the topic, I’m glad to talk to you about them thru IMs or any other medium that might not impair an objective, ensemble discussion invited for the thread at hand.

Insofar as the combat classes you offer, I’ve fortunately had notes from…[Read more]

I really don’t know why this bit about body types and combat is being harped on this much, and it takes a serious amount of mental gymnastics to really sell that a character your knee height should have equal chances with you in melee – so since the discussion has a potential to be quite large, can one of you who cares to address this create a…[Read more]

Thanks for jumping in;

The way IRL laws are altered to suit the environment, and the fact we all acknowledge this is a fictional RP setting, certain compromises could surely be made to accommodate the dark modern fantasy we are all wanting to enjoy with our being here?

As I see it, carrying a melee weapon should be a welcome addition to anyone…[Read more]

I am almost certain you are right, as I’ve had interactions IC with people like Julian and have felt the spirit of fairplay with them 😀

The problem is not that they potentially always win, just the fact that they’re equipped with too many reasons to get in your face and jail you too often with impunity, at least in my experience.

To your avi…[Read more]

I am sorry to say there is no amount of mental gymnastics you can sell me on until a person half your height and a quarter of your body weight should start instigating and engaging physical, unarmed combat with you on the street and expect to win. It will simply never make sense to me and it will always reek of weird PGing.

I don’t know why you…[Read more]

Hi, I’m sorry if it came off that way but for a lack of a stat system(which you mentioned but I haven’t encountered on the sim yet) I am mostly subject to ration and visuals.

With that aside it’s perfectly acceptable for someone to be stronger, or faster, or more agile, or more resilient, etc. on a case to case basis without relying solely on…[Read more]

Yea, basically in a melee slug fest you should pretty much take responsibility for your avi’s disadvantage from the start.

In a grapple you should not expect to overthrow someone with far greater weight class. In a fist fight against someone whose whole character is a boxer, MMA fighter, muay thai, w/e you should not have your kawaii police…[Read more]

The purpose of my making this thread is to address the overall police rp I’ve experienced recently, hopefully without me needing to note and report every single instance of nonsense one after another.

With that in mind, everything aforementioned has an actual roleplay incident behind it, including senselessly inflating combat potential(on…[Read more]

^ adding to previous post as I misclicked ;-;

There’s already a screening process involved with the Armed status that should play the role of entrusting a character with a gun to begin with. Limiting it further OOCly and ICly after the fact plays no role other than maintaining a police-favored power scaling across the sims, and also asks you to…[Read more]

Thanks for this, since I’m assuming you are an admin or otherwise in charge of HPD activity I’ll be able to quote this the next time someone wanted to perform a random stop and frisk, which has happened 2 times so far.

In the current climate this only puts more power into the police’s hands as civilians/criminals are encouraged by OOC…[Read more]

That’s an awesome show of etiquette I wish I also experienced 😀 as it stands I’ve never been approached in IMs regarding any of my 5-6 police encounters in my 2 weeks being here.

As mentioned in the main post, the numbers are not a problem so long as the quality/etiquette is consistent among all HPD players equally which unfortunately has not…[Read more]
