Post by: Hazard Time on August 15, 2012, 12:56:08 PM: That's almost exactly how my 04 days were. Instead, most recruits are too busy trying to act scary and badass to really act like beating someone is new.

Post by: Zail on August 16, 2012, 04:34:55 PM: I've seen tons of 03-RCT's acting badass, which annoys me quite a lot. I myself, was vomitting in my mask, when I was 02-01, when I saw someone get amputated.
Unfortunately, when you tell those units, to look up on their guides, they'll be like; "I've seen it before / Did it tons of times / You don't know this characters background / You can't tell me, how I devolop my character."

Srsly...

Post by: Dallas on August 16, 2012, 04:52:46 PM: Now... Not to say too much but I agree, there are people that are my rank area that WANT to see amputations, they WANT to see torture. I really, really think we need to remind any units acting hardcore that they are still civvies in a suit. I like to think my unit shows enough emotion; she doesn't want to amputate, ever. Nor does she want to see any torture. She once had to cut off a citizen's hand; she was really upset, crying for ages, feeling like shit after. I once saw El Problemo (Thank god he is banned) shoot a guy with a /me along the lines of..

/me raises the pistol to the man's head coldly and pulls the trigger.

Stuff like that rustles my jimmies... Oh it really does. However don't assume we are all like that, some of us are good with the fear RP/Guilt RP that we are expected to do.

Post by: The Mysterious Stranger on August 16, 2012, 05:58:38 PM: I remember seeing a Recruit yell at my citizen to rip my heart out two times and shut up, or either kill my character. I agree with Challenge of death sex?3 on this one.

It's a recruit. Why the hell would a citizen immediately turn into a major badass just because of a uniform?

Low ranks, which they are talking about, shouldn't be acting cold. They should relate to the citizens.

I was worried he meant all Units, which I found strange. I do agree that Units at a low rank shouldn't act like they are a hardened tightass that cares for nothing.

Title: Re: What I think of most CCA 05's and Recruits
Post by: Hazard Time on August 17, 2012, 12:38:13 AM: Just to play the devil's advocate, it has been seen in Africa that if you can turn someone into a cold killing machine just by giving them guns and drugs. Of course, I have no knowledge of human psychology, so I can't say that it would be ok to act cold and unfeeling as a recruit. For now, I would MUCH prefer recruits to act "human". I will admit that I was a badass back in my recruit days and, if given the opportunity, I would gladly do them over. Instead, the best I can do is ensure that our newest recruits don't make the same mistakes I did.

Post by: Tapir! on August 25, 2012, 01:05:47 AM: Funny thing, I tried to create this on my Recruit. TWICE. Look where that got me.

But in all seriousness, if you want recruits, 05s, and 04s to act more like inexperienced citizens in uniforms, you need to give them the wiggle room.

Walk forwards? Theres the CmD, waiting to Vaporise you. Left Turn? UED, doing their UED things, and ultimatley death. And of course, take a right, and its the lolwebuls. If you hit that north-north-west path, just right, than you move on. We all know which path it is, and how to do it. But if you dont hit it, you die.
Title: Re: What I think of most CCA 05's and Recruits
Post by: tdabamf1 on August 26, 2012, 10:23:31 AM: The UED's and CmD's are complete assholes when it comes to this, so I just acted as serious as I could. Tapir actually tried to roleplay good by being an recruit, and what the CmD was un-called for. You guys really have to learn that you shouldn't kill a unit for a small thing, they worked hard to make their back story, make their application, do all the fucking training that's a pain in the ass by the trainers that almost never get online...

I just think you should go a bit easier on recruits, their prone to make mistakes ICly and OOCly, by that I mean sometimes they mean too, and sometimes they don't. I think Tapir witnessed the abuse of being killed by UED's and CmD's for VERY stupid reasons, I mean all he did is walk out of the Nexus one time to ask a unit something, and he was killed. I'm sorry but you guys have to work on this, it's disappointing. I'm not saying stop punishing units, just don't kill them, okay?
Title: Re: What I think of most CCA 05's and Recruits
Post by: Dallas on August 26, 2012, 10:34:09 AM: I say that a good ol' beating should be incorporated into punishment systems instead of those horrid BMs, it could act as your ONLY warning before the BMs come a'rolling in.
Title: Re: What I think of most CCA 05's and Recruits
Post by: Tapir! on August 26, 2012, 01:21:43 PM: I agree with BAMF, of course. But, ya know.... What it is, it is. Unfortunatley, Because of what happend with my recruits, I'm pretty much being labled as FailRP and a shit player by people who havn't really met me in game. But, if i can be an experiment case, to help the CmD and UED get more of a balance on how they should treat 'Croots, than, I'm fine with that. I'll just prove the haters wrong when we meet in-game. XP

However, to stick up for some of the Trainers, 050 (Khubajsn) Is on just about every day, from 4AM to 12PM EST USA. And, he's probably the best trainer ever. I took Specalised review Twice, and Final Review once. Never, Ever, did i get under an A.

And, regarding BMs, BMs need an overhaul.
BMs are for fuck ups, not for general wrong-doings.

Of the 3 BMs i got on 074, One of them was legit. ONE.
BM1: 404 saw me climbing on his setup to examine it. What he did: BM. What the response should be: IC talking to, and re-education if hes real pissed.

BM2: I was caught supervising a CONSCRIPT alone while it cleaned detention. What was done: BM. What should have been done: BM. This is a major fuckup, life thretaning. For sure. That deserved a BM.

BM3: KMP Caught me not /meing my actions in the RDT. What he did: BM What the response should have been: An OOC talking to, after rations. A 3-5 day Character Ban, if felt appropriate. This is FailRP, so yeh.

Instead of handing out BMs for major fuckups, they're handed out for BREATHING. What officers need to remember, is that BMs are LIFE THREATNING. Your handing DEATH to a unit, when you give them a BM. There needs to be a better way to teach units they've fucked up. Like, an IC Re-education, or spending time in Treatment. Whatever, you figure it out. Also, I've seen more than one unit with Doubled up BMs, IMO, that shit has to stop too. That, is absoloutley unfair.

Post by: Khub on August 26, 2012, 02:06:12 PM: Tapir, please do not cry about your recruit in this thread. This is not the correct place.
To my knowledge, Tapir, your third BM on 074 has been issued for letting citizens through first RDT booth without any roleplay, but what's main, without checking their /viewdata and /points. To my knowledge, you've assigned a code one to citizen who should have got three or four.

Post by: Nomad on August 26, 2012, 08:31:53 PM: Some of my other characters got brutally tortured and a RCT was just standing there eating popcorn like it was no problem for them.
Title: Re: What I think of most CCA 05's and Recruits
Post by: Hazard Time on August 26, 2012, 10:33:11 PM: I stand with Tapir in that the HC needs to stop handing out BMs like candy. In no way do I support un-PKing 074. As far as I have heard, there is sufficient evidence to say that he made dumbass moves. However, what I don't get is BMing units for a first time fuckup. If a unit fucks up, unless it is a serious fuck up, like when Shaker picked up a pistol off the bench at the firing range and started shooting without waiting for orders, units should either be beat the shit out of OR, if the mess up was over OOC, they should be punished in an OOC fashion. It should be acceptable to make mistakes at RCT, and UNIFORM and HC should be ready and willing to correct it. It would be like being fired the first day as a busser for spilling a glass.

They are meant to give warnings and they should be doing so.

No idea why you would say that. *looks at Datzy's posts* Ah, there. Take a hint Datzy, they check for post whoring you know, only post when you have to.

I'm not excruciatingly obsessed with becoming part of the CCA here, I have separate occupations at the moment. Though, with the servers quality and much higher member count than mine, I'm going to contribute to the forums more positively as I was warned about my blatant postwhoring.

I'll most likely surpass the required goal before applying.

But, seriously, he took 4 shots to the legs, and was like, "lul must shoot him" You need to PAINRP 05's! You are not resistant. Higher up ranks do become resistant to pain, but, 05s are NOT Badasses.
