Rock Hardick

Can we get an anal thermometer as medic? So we can check the status of the patient and apply the correct treatment? Tired of wasting my splints and painkillers over splinters and stubbed toes 🙄 Gonna use a prophylactic I hope. The spread of STDs is no joke.

Agreed. Smirnoff was the one who finally convinced me to join the APD after months of people begging me to. He's the reason you all have a Rock HarDick today!

You leave now? Now that Rock has returned? Fool!

As long as it's a permanent one with no requirement to be promoted, I'll stitch it to my skin!

Return of Rock should happen within 2 months... expect it

Aren't you a sight for sore eyes - wasn't expecting any original members to be on here lol

Just got an email about Asylum after all these years - Perhaps it's time for the legend to return...

I spent my first 3 months as Cadet in Kavala- oops

The civs I arrest always pay their tickets and are pretty happy with me. I cop the old way, the right way.

I am not sure since I haven't checked recently, but I believe there used to be (or still is) a lottery that was super chanced at winning. So I think they already have a random chance system in place that is plenty good. Just need to expand on it.

Can you add gambling? Texas Hold'em, slot machines, black jack, betting - I wonder how much robbing would increase

It wouldn't be a hardcore RP server. The only ones who would have to agree to RP a certain way would be the cops. No one forces you to play cop, so it is not as if you cannot play if you don't RP. What I am suggesting actually used to be in the guidebook, which means Paratus did intend for this originally - AND IT WORKED!

I take no responsibility for these cadets. I was off the clock..

Again, I disagree. The thing is that it used to be a job. If you didn't want to take the role of cop RP seriously, you got on civ. No one is forcing you to RP as if it is your job - unless you want to play on cop where you represent the server as a whole.

I disagree slightly. Although you are right that they do not have reasons to RP, the thing is that no one aside from the APD ever had an incentive to RP. The reason there was RP was because there was a foundation of RP set by the APD that gave others something to work with that allowed them to RP. That foundation was that the APD was made to RP as REAL police officers. Everything was strict, the cops feared breaking the rules in the slightest, it was a tight shift, and because we spoke in a way that civs thought we were real cops, the immersion was real and it let them RP as if they were really being arrested or talking to cops. It is way too relaxed now and I whole heartedly believe if we even change this one simple aspect back to the way it was, the RP and fun in the server would drastically improve. It's not a "real" police department anymore, just a role slot on a server. Granted I don't believe I could set the example as it stands, which is why I deem it necessary for everyone to swallow their pride and enlist the experts that made it that way in the first place to AT THE VERY LEAST get us started back up again with it for 2 months or so. Those experts are: Durga, LeonHearts, Nighteyes, and Shkar. With these people training the cadets and putting the Sgts and LTs in back in line, I am fully convinced Asylum can return to its former glory. I think the "RP" nowadays is grossly overestimated. Reducing a ticket and listening to a story is not RP. I mean seriously acting like a real police officer (we ran it so tight it used to seem more like the military) that people actually feel like they are being arrested by real police. The way I see the cops acting in game is absolutely pathetic- but no one seems to care.

The salt and sass is real

But at what sacrificed fun and aesthetics?

You must've been a server 1 cop-

It died around 2 years ago when that Rock Hardick guy with the sexy deep angelic god-like voice left and took his RP with him.

I second that, no codes, but better realistic RP needed from Cop's side

If you want to help, petition with the other Sgts and Lts to have the Captains reform the guidebook and bring us back to our former glory. Once the rules are reinstated, people will have to retrain all the cops in how to act and RP. That is going to be one hell of a job but once we have a basic grounds set, training the new cadets coming on board will be easy. Especially if they already know what to expect from watching the reformed cops in the server to begin with.

Nothing you can do until it becomes a rule to act like a real life cop again. The solution has to come from the captains. Also, would be nice to have cops have the 50 cal truck again to deal with helicopters and Ifrits.

I think we all know an LT or 2 that should not be an LT, or even on the APD for that matter.
