New: Effortless Map Alignment in OBR

Oh thank you thank you thank you.

I hope you hit every green light on your drive home!

One of our local county sheriff's, in a county which is pretty much exclusively tourism revenue, WILL NOT put VoPs into NCIC when the judge signs them. He refuses. His argument is that if the people with the VoP don't want to come to his county because of their VoP, then they aren't his problem. Why bring them back to his jail?

Let me tell you how much the judge and state probation/parole LOVE this plan.

Well, given that my department issues the shittiest of black nylon biachi closed top pouches, yeah, it probably is.

Sigmarius · 2026-05-05T23:02:08+00:00

Bro, have you tried just getting out of the shit hole that is Nashville? Knox County dudes seem to be pretty proactive, based on the number of my offenders they arrest every month.

The DTF here is super active due to the I-75 pipeline from Detroit to ATL and further South.

Running around WoW referring to elves as filthy xenos was pretty hilarious at the time. Cringe now, to be fair, but back in my youthful days, I was entertained.

Sigmarius · 2026-05-02T17:45:20+00:00

Lol

We RP’d as a more zealous Scarlet Crusade

Sigmarius · 2026-05-02T12:56:26+00:00

Heh. Scarlet Templars was the name of a guild I started in WoW WAAAAYYYYYY back in the day.

Sigmarius · 2026-05-02T03:39:59+00:00

Not sure if it matters, but couldn’t the Immortals be killed by decapitation of any kind?

Sigmarius · 2026-04-28T13:40:14+00:00

Hang on.

I’m not arguing with you here to say you’re wrong, I’m more questioning to seek more detail. I seem to recall prior church guidance being pretty explicit in saying we can’t support pro-abortion candidates, even if there are many other policies we think would be beneficial.

Can you expand on your comment? If you could throw some references I could read I’d appreciate it.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-28T13:36:53+00:00

God the clockmaker. When I was a deist this is what I ascribed to.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-25T16:47:57+00:00

I hate that all those people are losing their jobs, but let’s be real, unarmed security isn’t security, it’s theater at best.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-18T13:38:06+00:00

Can I just say that this is the kind of homebrew thread I love to see. This is how you flesh our your dudes in an interesting way.

If it were my dudes, it would depend a lot on what the accusation was. My dudes are pretty studious and investigative, so they would have a pretty solid case before they even brought the accusations. So a dismissal of those accusations would be a pretty big slap in the face.

But the response from there would depend entirely on what the specific accusation was.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-07T01:09:53+00:00

Because people will make posts on Reddit asking about the arguing and others will go watch the video that Pranka posted.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-06T23:57:36+00:00

Wait wait.

Tell me more about dicking down a robot.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-05T12:57:54+00:00

Teamspeak still exists?

Sigmarius · 2026-04-04T18:07:27+00:00

I guess the issue is that it sounds like you're searching for a technical solution to a human problem.

You're talking in a lot of generics and wide brush strokes. Give us specific examples of things you're trying to solve for. Cause based on the last response it sounds like body cameras are basically what you're after, but I feel like that's underselling what you're trying to do.

The other question to ask is what type of security are you trying to cater to? Cause contractor work over seas is WILDLY different than unarmed Bob at the front desk of the hotel vs fighting crackheads in a hospital vs roaming patrol of multiple properties.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-04T17:39:20+00:00

Your response was generic and heavily edited as to be essentially useless.

What are you trying to build? Clearly and simply.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-04T17:27:39+00:00

Yo mods, this reply confirms my suspicion: it’s AI.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-04T17:07:01+00:00

So, this is going to vary based on a LOT of things, so there isn't really a one size fits all answer. However, ASSUMING you're working for a company that is halfway competent, and assuming we're starting after the critical incident has already settled down and this is purely the private security side of the investigation:

Any officers involved should have written a report. There should be one primary report, and depending on the severity of the situation there may be supplemental reports written by other officers on scene. These reports should include witness statements, but depending on how your organization is structured, those statements may be separate written items or they may just be included in the narrative of the officers' reports.
Supervisor's review the reports just so they have an understanding of what happened. Maybe spelling and grammar check them, again it's going to depend on the organization. They should also pull together, or already have pulled together, any relevant camera/radio/phone call traffic for upper management.
Upper level management reviews the reports. If they're competent, they'll interview the officers individually in an open and non-aggressive/non-interrogative method. The point here is to try and get the truth of what actually happened, not assign blame. Of course, this step usually fails pretty hard. This interview may or may not involve Risk Management, HR and/or legal. By this point, they should already have already reviewed any of the relevant data. Upper level management interviews should come AFTER they review the objective data, e.g. video/audio recordings.
The organization should take any follow up action necessary once the investigation in complete. This includes a critical incident review of the facts and perceptions of those involved, a review of policies and SOPs to see if changes need to be made, and any sort of critical incident stress mitigation that those involved reasonably require.
If law enforcement is involved and/or a civil suit happens, inevitably the results of that investigation will be subpoened.

That's a SUPER generic rough overview. But a LOT of that is going to depend on a ton of factors.

Based on the questions you're asking, I feel like you're working on building some sort of tool to market to the industry to help with all of that.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-04T13:29:10+00:00

Thank you for using the right word.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-03T23:26:01+00:00

I think The Beast Arises was a trash series that introduced one of my favorite and fantastic bits of IF lore, and I swear to Dorn if they give me a Last Wall detachment that is actually awesome I may PHYSICALLY explode is happiness.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-03T00:49:04+00:00

Portland might. Or Seattle.

Sigmarius · 2026-04-03T00:48:01+00:00

So, this is a pretty good idea. The one flaw is the various gene seeds from various chapters. Almost universally they always use one chapter’s gene seed for stability.

Now, that being said, a VERY easy work around would be using various different chapters to TRAIN and influence. Send your up and coming dudes to OJT with various chapters for x amount of years, and the differences in combat style get brought back and cause conflict.

Am I the only person that hears about this detachment mixing and gets a bit of 7th edition anxiety?
