  4. My Complaint about Mr. Beastwood

    When I used to hear about illiterate students graduating from school, I often wondered how that was possible. But after encountering some of Explicit's more incomprehensible fulminations, I now realize that not only is it possible for people to graduate without having learned fundamental skills such as reading and writing, but that it's possible for these same people to believe that wars end only when a goodhearted, newly enlightened tyrant heeds the advice of transnational peace activists. Consider this letter not as a monologue but rather as a joint effort between writer and reader. Together we shall put to rest the animosities that have kept various groups of people from enjoying anything other than superficial unity. Together we shall offer a framework for discussion so that we can more quickly reach a consensus. And together we shall bring the communion of knowledge to all of us. Explicit has been trying hard to separate us off into various, antagonistic camps. I maintain we should oppose that effort by taking him to task for pilfering the national treasure.

    Explicit likes canards that force us to adopt rigid social roles that compromise our inner code of ethics. Could there be a conflict of interest there? If you were to ask me, I'd say that if they could speak, the birds, snakes, and other creatures who are our Earth brothers and Earth sisters would undoubtedly say that we all know, in the world that surrounds us, that there are terrorists and home invaders and drug cartels and carjackers and knockout gamers and rapers and haters and unctuous, unfriendly Svengalis who scheme to foster suspicion—if not hatred—of “outsiders”. What is often easy to forget, however, is that Explicit has already begun reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. I wish I were joking, but I'm not. What's more, Explicit justifies his scurrilous philosophies with fallacious logical arguments based on argumentum ad baculum. In case you're unfamiliar with the term, it means that if we don't accept Explicit's claim that he answers to no one then he will corral his rivals into mini-Bantustans to prevent them from strengthening our roots so we can weather the storms that threaten our foundation.

    Explicit's false-flag operations are enmeshed in caciquism, to put it mildly. Does Explicit do research before he reports things, or does he just guess and hope he's right? The reason I ask is that Explicit's lusk form of escapism is like a forest fire. Once it is started, none can set bounds to the resulting conflagration. The only option is to make this world a kinder, gentler place. While doing so won't put a stop to escapism, it will demonstrate decisively that Explicit's ipse dixits are merely a stalking horse. They mask his secret intention to provide vulgar, viperine cardsharps with a milieu in which they can provide cover for a hoggish, disrespectful agenda. Finally, this has been a good deal of reading, and unequivocally difficult reading at that. Still, I hope you walk away from it with the new knowledge that Explicit's desire is somehow to avoid blame for his array of abominable failures.

    And with this, I conclude. Goodbye to Explicit and his gang of misfits. giphy.gif

    Never really use the compass anyway. Unless im fighting, and it takes less than a second to see the direction and call it out. So please no extra stuff on my screen.

    In due time, it'll be just another thing that fades out of your view. You'll simply see past it. 

    Allow a toggle function within the cell phone settings and we'd all be happy.

    Add it! @Gnashes

    Removing Split Pay

    in Suggestions and Feedback (archived)

    Posted · Edited by Flameless

    Selective seizing would be nice. (More convenient than you'd think).

    Radius bound payments would motivate officers to patrol in clusters motivated by greed (to a certain extent).

    The APD is not a faction that is maintained to be a money making organization. Split pay allows everyone an equal share of the work being contributed by all. The officers doing "Nothing" that receive a cut are possibly afk for a short period of time to take care of something or are busy with other matters not involving the gradual succession of steps to issuing a ticket, parole or sending a detainee to jail for the instant gratification of money.

    The APD is an RP based faction. The money made now due to split pay is sufficient for an officer's gear and transportation; It's fine where it is.

    This is would be a minor digression back to the solo pay that induced robo-copping. 

    You want to make money? Play civ, sell drugs.
