There have been a few attempts at creating some sort of law enforcement group in Arklay.  First as part of the AES, second as a lone operating band of sorts and now with the VPA who are doing a great job at patrolling the town, but when it comes to what to do with criminals or criminal groups - other than everyone forming a lynch mob and wiping them out which doesn't promote long term RP, we're at a loss.

 

However the last thing I want to do is force a group no-one wants down everyone's throats - and ever since Outbreak's inception I've heard comments that no-one wants another HPD (for those that play in crack den, that's the Hathian Police department); notorious for corruption and rape amongst other things.  The HPD is very much a product of it environment and is set up to be not a real life police department but "the biggest gang in Hathian", I'd like whatever we set up for Outbreak to be a product of our environment - which is a dark, often brutal and harsh world where bad things can and will happen, but where everyone's fighting for a little hope and that last scrap of humanity to survive.

 

This group will be a sim run faction, but like everything in Outbreak, limited in resources.

The group would have to be feared, certainly at least by the "bad guys", so they don't become a laughing stock and will likely use whatever methods are necessary to punish criminals, but at the same time sticking to the morale code that is the town laws.

 

I'm picturing some sort of wild west operation with a Sheriff and a bunch of deputies who will try and uphold the town laws of Arklay, but when they can't, possibly take bad guys out into the fringe where the laws don't apply.

 

One of the main aims of the group will be to reduce the "shoot to kill" roleplay we currently have towards criminal bands and factions.  We want those groups to try and last and currently it becomes very difficult after a month or a few months, especially if the bad guys are the insane types because understandably, there comes a point where the citizens of Arklay crowd together with a need to do something.

 

Before anything in set in stone what are your thoughts, ideas, comments..... it'll all be useful in deciding what type of group is established.
