...is what I'm sure I'm going to hear from Frankie and a few others, but here it goes.
So I’m thinking about making Scotland Yard a RP "gang" in a sense where we wouldn't generate a profit so we don't fall under the category of a business, but also we wouldn't have a base because we are strictly street patrol. We also won't be raiding unless there is a huge Gang War going on in which we would have to break things up.
Scotland Yard would be kept small, and I wouldn't have a problem really keeping it as a party but 5-7 members seems a tad too small for the job. I figure I'll need at least 10 or 15 to patrol all of Era throughout the day.
I don't want a base for several reasons. I don't want to defend my "base." I feel that takes away from the idea that I am a Police Officer. Why on earth would gangs be raiding my base? Seems silly and makes me look like a gang. Another reason being I'm VERY picky on what my base looks like when it's themed and I severely doubt anyone could live up to what I want.
Ranks:
Constable
Senior Constable
Head Constable
Sergeant
Inspector
Chief Inspector
Commander (or Superintendent)
Commissioner (or Chief Superintendent)
I've learned a lot from my mistakes from EPD.
See, my biggest mistakes with EPD when I released that was that...
1. It was released with no staff support to even finish the damn base
2. It had a base in the first place so everyone treated it as just another gang and raided it. Without a base to raid, it takes us away from the gang aspect and puts us in our own category.
3. There was no pre-made uniform, so we looked like noobs.
4. And probably the main reason... I didn't run it. Hard to find a leader willing to follow your idea and rules.
Scotland is prepared though...
1. I honestly need little staff support since all we'd need is to be added to the gang system.
2. We aren't planning on having a base like stated above. This way we can pull away from the idea of being a gang and do our job patrolling the streets without defending some base. If it was to be made for RP sake, it should be 1 to 2 rooms with no PK and everyone can go in all the levels so we aren’t "special." Otherwise I'm sure people would complain.
3. I FINALLY have some uniforms made that I can wear and love. Hopefully others can as well.
4. If I’m allowed... Yes I will run it and run it properly. I'm the guy that "takes **** too seriously" to a lot of people, so you got to know I'll keep it in tip top form and hire the right people (and no wil won't be in it, so don’t even say that).
Rules for Scotland Yard Members (Keeping the rules on PK simple)
1. When on tag, wear your damn uniform.
2. No trash talking, ever. Not after someone dies. Not when someone PKs you. Not in masses. Someone bothering you? Just don't respond. If caught I see it, you are removed.
3. Use Police issued weapons only. These weapons include: Night Stick, Handguns, Tarus, Glock, M3, Shotguns, PBP, Pl9, Spas, SmgPK, M16, DR, M4, Deagle, ap0. More to be added I'm sure. I'd love to make it tarus and m3 only, but that’s asking too much from a lot of people. I'm a beast with the tarus, not many people like it.
4. Try to patrol the streets as much as possible and help players. Simple.
5. Do NOT raid. We are not a gang and we do not trespass on private property unless we have reason (such as chasing a perp.) You can only raid if you have a warrant in which you will need to ask myself or the Commander and have a reason for one.
6. See rules of players and use that as your judgment on the streets. Good luck, Constable.

Rules for players (if not wanting to be shot)
1. I'm just going to go right out and say this now... you CAN have your gun out, we don't care. Right to bare arms.
2. You can NOT however be shooting it in the direction of a player. If we think you are attempting to kill a player, we will do our job and take you down.
3. You can NOT shoot at an officer. This is just common sense.
4. If we see you and another player fighting you will both be killed unless we see that you were just defending yourself or you stop attacking them. This is up to the officer though to decide if you are a threat.
5. If we see 2 gang members shooting at each other however, we will kill them both, period.
6. Its best not to stand right next to an officer. He doesn't know what you are planning to do, so crowding him might give him the impression you are going to axe him. When he warns you, back off.
7. Treat us with respect and you will receive it back. I don't want my members blowing away innocent people even if they are being offensive, but it'd help if you didn't start a fight.
8. Flower pick away.
