Well.....after a foray into rp yesterday I have discovered a fatal and devestating flaw in trying to play as law enforcement in this game. You have no authority.
Zero. None. Nil. Zilch.
If I as a Yellowjacket try to push my authority....I have none. I can call on my fake linkpearl and threaten arrest but I can't actually do it. And all it takes is for someone to call that bluff for it to fall apart in seconds. And once that happens, especially in a crowded place, whatever minimal, paper thin legitimacy you had in that role is ripped to shreds quite fast. The fact is without legitimacy and authority, playing as a law enforcement person is akin to me dressing up as a cop on Halloween. Suit looks nice, but that's about all.
I now need to completely rethink Melodia and how to even play her in that role because it was clear yesterday that she isn't even take very seriously.
Don't know......need to rethink it a bit. May need to shelve her for a bit until figure it out. But....I guess at least I have a fun back story to write. *shrugs*
