I appreciate everyone’s feedback, pro and con. Cobb (char) was strongly opposed to the Howlers actions, but he fostered decent relations with members beginning last spring. He remains loyal to those relations, including Jade. Her actions going forward will define her new chapter, whatever that is.

Just to clarify, the Watchmen will not be a form of government. The Founder, mysterious, elusive critter that he is, lays down the law and we’d enforce it. We may try to rally people, organize runs, participate in them, interact on a large scale, good and bad, but we won’t be government. From my experience in sim cop characters face an ongoing…[Read more]

Just to clarify, the Watchmen (as a faction) already exists. It required a formal application to apply for lead. I am enthused at the possibilities. A couple of people have expressed interest besides Jade and myself to participate. I do wish I could allay concerns, but some I can’t. That there are strong emotions and perspectives suggests to me it…[Read more]

Thanks Geoffrey, that was my understanding, that the Founder would set the parameters, laws and such. When I mentioned specifics to be discussed by individuals or businesses in the context of a town council or implied government – such a construct already exists through the collective, refined by the Founder.

I can appreciate everyones concerns Re: Jade. I believe she can defend her own position, but I don’t believe it is fair to typecast a char, as we all do evolve and change them. In particular, having a former criminal mind onboard I see as an asset. I’d like to hear more than just yes or no; for example, do you want or not want the Watchmen, is…[Read more]

Thanks Christine. The centerline for acceptable behavior is always questionable. Subjective. We (watchmen) would RP getting some guidance on it all, but you targeted some good thoughts and ideas. There really is no place yet for good and chaos to exist, for example. I also admire RP on the fly, rather than just standing about. Granted it takes…[Read more]

Thanks. I keep returning to the source of my idea to resurrect the Watchmen, which is to further creative conflict. Make friends, confront enemies, make some folks very happy, enable others to raise holy hell. If Arklay had a militia that was geared primarily toward law and order, it would be the Watchmen. Truthfully though, so far I’ve w…[Read more]

I’ve given some thought to this. No matter what strength levels are, garnering some attention from the Founder would go a long ways in determining the Watchmen’s course.Location wise, the old police station would work as a primary base. It needs a bit of fixing up. The tower at the bridge should remain and with a few props serve as a recruitment…[Read more]

Initially the watchmen would emerge and interact. I’m not looking for bringing chaos, but conflict to the point of generating new RP. My ultimate end-game is creating a cohesive force, and as much as I dislike the term – a military-styled squad. They do not need to be huge, maybe 4 or 5. Developing a team like that… where one can fluidly…[Read more]

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 21:39:56 +0000

These chars cannot be engaged by the HUD in my experience. I’m not a fan of these type chars, invisible and hard to engage in RP, with or without the HUD.

They can be anywhere, doing anything. It’s a huge challenge.

Thanks for this guide Ben. You’re always adding helpful documentation everywhere you can.

I agree with some of the cars… the running one for example. The trucks by coaches. I kinda like the sedan with the open door though. I think it’s obvious that an apocalypse has happened, given the blockade and fencing, along with barricades near businesses. There are too many cars and trucks lingering around Arklay. Some serve a point, like the…[Read more]

I planned this out in advance. Good call. I used weathered skin, wrinkled, worn. I look older than I am, which I think would happen. I need some scars and tats to round things out. I agree though, lots of pretty people here. Unrealistic. Some go out of their way tho.. kudos to them.

I was thinking of how to involve Fever more, and the thought of scavenge centers with a two hour cool down might bring more people to the sim, many from OB.

would it be a big deal to name the streets? The signs can be old and rusty, or new, but it’d be cool to refer to them, and possibly helpful.

This may be a Nadir thing. I was noticing some things around Arklay that have been around, but may be due for a refresh. Maps, for example… is the green zone still fine? Do scavenge & water sources (wells) need to be added? Could some in-town buildings be occupiable, not just loft businesses.

I recall a map showing the route of hookers through…[Read more]

Hi! I’d like to engage players in discussions in-world but OOC regarding the Watchmen. Personally I think it’s an important group, providing a balancing force in day-to-day gameplay.

I like the idea of some sort of archive. One of the earliest things I wanted to do was set up a “missing persons” wall of photos and posters. I still think an in-world zine would be fun too, and still harbor the desire to get a small radio station going.

Well, it’s not an official thing but I’d sign on as a founding member if I could.

I think the supermarket is occupied by a faction “The Crew” but it would be feasible otherwise. There is a row of ‘filler buildings’ just East of the hospital that could convert to a small asylum, or simply an extension on the existing hospital. It’d require less padding too!

I like the idea but am confused somewhat. If I understood (Kali? Kay?), AES was the original force – Fire, EMT, Police. I was of the impression that Kay had something in the works so I left it be. I know I wanted to get something going, like a council or alliance, but thought Kay had taken on that mantle. I’d love to sign on to this today, don’t…[Read more]

That aside Marcus is an intriguing char, just off the edge enough but not unbalanced.

Is there room in Outbreak RP for an asylum? I keep thinking “‘Sucker Punch’ meets Arklay”. I have a lot of ideas on this but others might have more. It could serve as a residence for many. Gothic. Sexy. Dangerous.

I acknowledge tho, that some retconning would need to happen. But for now I’d just like to gauge interest and ideas.

I’ve RP’ed a bit with Burn and absolutely love the character. The speed of reaction and adaptation her typist brings to scenarios is amazing. I can only imagine similar abilities from “Daniel Shaw” and “The Crew”. The RP sounds intriguing with a lot of depth, something my char could simultaneously support and oppose, which is all good by me!
