nah, seriuosly, who cares if you would/could succeed all the time? i'm sure there would be situations where a PvP-defender-squad would change the turning out of a story. then again, often it won't.
anyway, it would add quite some spice and fun. adventure is when you don't know how it will turn out

i'd compare this to CRT, even if the task seems to be quite harder.

this is the form of roleplaying that is possible and reasonable in an MMORPG (instead of talking with sketchy voices on TS and fooling around with your lvl69 orc, rofl).

i would not join, because i have my soc.. my place to be.. but i'd be in as hired gun if you call me from time to time ^^

GL, i love RP-socs

I see it would be challenge, the amount of really tough people who go in there could wipe out an intire team. There are some unsung who patrol there waiting for a kill.

Could work though, just be up to the team recruited, since the large costs of decay and ammo etc.

What might work, is a sort of escort, for newcomers to get to the rig, you could police and protect a group and defend against other people and the mobs.

Well, I think this is a pretty good indicator.

However, if all the (like it but can't join) and (like it but an undecided) got a possitive attitude suddenly about the idea, then the numbers would be almost equal... at least in head count.

Odds are, however, that many, many ubers are counted in that last category of meanies. Shame that more would not like the opportunity at redemption, and try wearing the white hat for a while.... (no, it does not pay well, but you would be more satisfied with the person you become)

I think the whole things is a good demonstration of human nature, and why the United Nations can never work IRL It is human nature (and good) to take care of yourself first, but in the absence of any counter-balancing ideology, we keep taking care of ourselves, even at great expense to others... so the world goes.

But I thought maybe educated, thoughtful, and compassionate online community was ahead of society.... guess I was wrong

(wonder if that stirs anyone to change their mind......naaa..probably not)


Another way that there could be potential for such an idea, is if MA would invent some sort of multi-level society idea... i.e. alliances or sub-societies. These would be useful for sooooo many things, inprove community interaction, and could also allow people to join a police alliance without having to leave their beloved society.

Come on MA... DO IT... then we promise to spend lots and lots of peds shooting at eachother in PVP.

DOWN WITH THE OPPRESSORS!

What if potential applicants, had to be recruited through a Sheriffs depot. Where they got specialty armor, weapons, and a badge.

While in this mode, such players would not be allowed to loot anyone or anything. Adjust the gear and weapons, so that they are fair to the PVPers. Maybe throw in some other constraints as well... to make sure that the system is not abused in someway.

Could add some more fun for everyone...and might even get more people willing to risk pvp4, if they think that there might be some measure of protection available. But it would not be total protection.

Aside from gear... the tactics of the PVPers should compensate for the Sheriffs Posse presence. Would just have to be designed to eliminate any exploits.

k.. just a thought..though probably not a good one.
