ゴメンナサイ

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

After a certain amount of dead bodies and different murderers at large even for a short period of time, police are viewed as incompetent and hung in the court of public opinion.

It doesn't matter how well their intentions are or not, they let people die on their watch and they are publicly affiliated with those murderers by virtue of being otherworlders.

A foreign police force would especially have NPCs wary of them after this amount of deaths. Logically the attempts at arrests NPCs have made should very likely have started with the Enforcers because they are the public face of otherworlder incompetence.

From an IC standpoint, they should be limited in involvement after the fact as at least a precaution to ensure proper jobs are being done. Put on leave. Not trusted with vital points in need of defense. They should not be given pats on the back and a job well done.

considering every mod/mod friend has a character in the enforcers i guess we know why death has been banned now

joking aside yeah they deserve just as many consequences as the murderers even if they do get caught later. why would any npc trust them to protect anything after the past few months?

...to me this just sounds like justification for murder getting restricted. Emp was never marketed as "your character is going to be under suspicion for shit they didn't do and that you as a player can't help".

A PC organization should not get rewarded with plot relevant postings after the past few months. It's not restricting, it's just not giving them special privileges.

They also placed themselves up as the public faces of the otherworlders, which should have expectations that aren't 'fun and consequence free' attached. I'm tried of seeing enforcers touted as the guys in charge of keeping order but not being forced to face consequences when they can't. This isn't American politics.

You are seriously overestimating how many special privileges and plot relevant postings the Enforcers players have when compared to non-Enforcers. they're close to none.

You're right. This is rp, which is supposed to be considerably more fun than American politics. My time would be better spent following the election than dealing with this fuss of "oh it wouldn't be fun for Villain's player if they were punished fairly, but since they weren't, now we gotta punish other characters."

Except that in real life, it isn't the police's job to prevent murder in such a direct sense either? The existence of police is supposed to deter murder because hey, if you get caught, there will be consequences. So please, explain to me how the Otherworlder Enforcers 'let murder happen on their watch' when there was no way for anyone to know that a murder would be committed in the first place.

I will agree that perhaps some locals might think racisty thoughts and wonder whether Otherworlders might help Otherworlders by making evidence disappear, but let's not forget that locals can be murderers and help each other out too. Discrimination works both ways.
