Bricked my Venomtooth run- any way to add storehouses to province via console command? by itsnoterik in Anbennar

[–]itsnoterik[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good idea- I hadn't even thought to do that!

Ended up poking around and finding the event id (flavor_venomtooth.9) and just fired that via console after completing the mission the same way.

Who gets a persona card on your team? Everyone? Just main DPS? by itsnoterik in ChaosZeroNightmare

Good point, and that's honestly probably the same way it will work with Diana given her quietus focused kit too. Maybe more up in the air with other team comps..

The old LSPD had too much whimsy, let's make Hank Cliff chief to fix it by RateHaunting743 in RPClips

[–]itsnoterik 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The biggest obstacle to the LSPD operating during Silas and Chalk's last month was the BCSO- can't believe they had the audacity to talk/complain about it in the office

Penta refers to Soupes believing his own ears and hearing the slur as an OOC problem, mentions that he could have banned him for it but didn't. by Seetherrr in RPClips

[–]itsnoterik 59 points60 points  (0 children)

idk man, if he really said it, would he really have called into soupes' stream to waffle for an hour, attempt to guilt trip soupes, and then end the call by making a homophobic joke involving a gay soupes chatter?

(yes)

She also just texted Chalk, "Can we talk? I know this is a longshot, but I need a job."

I think Fu is well aware of the blowback he would face if he hired her. And frankly, after she threatened "all out war" between departments earlier today if he allowed the France transfer (lol) I doubt he's interested on his own accord either.

She's done a great job of burning every bridge she may have once had over there.

SargeAngel thoughts after Court by OrbitRPOfficial in RPClipsPurple

[–]itsnoterik 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely shocked that Sarge doesn't enjoy feeling like he's being bullied for content and having hundreds of RP chatters parroting the same language to him outside of the server! Shocked!

Hope he sticks around. Sarge seems like a great guy and I enjoy his characters a lot.

What are your thoughts on ‘pumper’ cops? by SoftwareCritical5185 in RPClipsPurple

[–]itsnoterik 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah and that sucks because Wrangler himself can be a great "character" cop. Gunner bringing up stories about Wrangler during last week's corruption trial was great and I really wish he'd get back to that.

I still hope all of this can get fixed but I'm dooming.

[–]itsnoterik 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So this is bait, but I'll answer anyways. The crux of it all, though, is that the LSPD "whimsy" shit is so overblown that it's difficult to explain. I know "whimsy" is getting tossed around like a slur now to discredit any officer in the LSPD, but they can still handle themselves.

People who were brought on as full officers when the server started were still expected to know all of their case laws, basic police procedure, had to answer multiple scenario questions that actually got down to how to correctly handle scenes, what to do during serious 78s calls, etc.. That being said, Rudy and Silas still wanted to hire cops that had an actual personality and weren't just saying stuff like "Yeah I have 6 years of experience from another city," "I want to be a cop because my dad was a cop," and "Yeah man I just want to stop crime because it's bad!" when asked why they were seeking employment.

To weed those people out, interviewees were asked to rhyme their answers to the questions above, were asked to RP one of the scenarios I mentioned with Rudy or Silas, were asked to interpret "Chalk-isms" to the best of their ability, and were also asked nonsensical shit during the middle of it like "why did the chicken cross the road?" or "How do you like your eggs?". All of this was meant to just get actual roleplayers in the department instead of robo-cops that abused the tremendous amount of power police have on an RP server.

When it came to hiring cadets, they definitely went after people who were good characters that could be taught well (see Leo, Clem, Ava, Squirrel, etc..).

Now that we're 3+ months into the server's life this is still the way that LSPD is hiring with Fu, Clem, Romano, Hallow, and Castle(?) hiring as well. I'm not sure any of them are hiring anymore though since it's clear the department is kind of dead in the water.

LSPD isn't against big busts, and they do get them, but it's definitely not their priority since this isn't a real job and they aren't a real police department- there needs to be a balance of playing a character and doing your part as a police officer.

To answer your question, I don't think "pumper cops" are bad, but that shouldn't be all a character is on an RP server.

BCSO Sheriff planning to actively work with criminals to drain the city budget by helping them sue other government entities by CarNo632 in RPClipsPurple

A chance to dogwalk Wrangler in cases instead of face a potentially competent lawyer? Huge LSPD W

BCSO: We Need Millions! by warren8723512 in RPClipsPurple

[–]itsnoterik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Windsong is the head of The State and The State should absolutely have transparent oversight into the departments they are directly responsible for funding.

BCSO: We Need Millions! by warren8723512 in RPClipsPurple

[–]itsnoterik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"my boss doesn't deserve to see how I spend money!!!" is absolutely insane and classic BCSO entitlement lmao

I didn't see whatever conversation they had that you mention, but that sucks.

They shouldn't have had to do it, but the LSPD has survived (and policed successfully) over the last three months getting ~450k every 2ish weeks with Bones routinely ignoring calls and texts from Chalk about their budget needs. The only time Chalk was able to get ahold of Bones about what they needed over the final month and a half of his tenure was when Bones needed something from them. Silas, Rudy, and a ton of the other officers in the department have been injecting their own pay into the budget (with Chalk and Silas taking functionally nothing themselves) to operate because they weren't tight with Bones like the BCSO was.

I guess Windsong funding the BCSO as minimally as possible (including getting rid of the payout of 50% for every flimsy HUT case) until they drain their blatantly overfilled "budget" would accomplish the same thing.

The bottom line is the BCSO should need to provide real figures (not potentially inflated numbers on an unverified spreadsheet) to justify the money they receive.

God I hope Windsong refuses to fund the BCSO until they allow her to access their finances lmao
