This is a neat idea but I can't help feeling like something like this already exists? Â
Personally if I wanted help from the GC RPers I'd probably use /shout but then again I'm sure a lot of RPers have /shout disabled.
It honestly depends on the time of night and availability of the players. In order to find a member of the Brass Blades/Immortal Flames, a group of people in our FC once had to stage an armed bar fight in the middle of the Quicksand because nobody was paying attention "Without due cause". While hilarious, I'm reminded that I should probably use the forums to try and hunt down some actual members of GCs in case I need to beg them for RP.Â
Speaking as a former longtime member of Seraph Falcon Company in GW2 (basically a police force for Divinity's Reach, which was Ul'dah with better weather and more nobles and jerks), the big problem with playing a policing force of an LS is that you'll have to do the following before you really do more than wander around the city:
-Gain the trust of the RP community.
-KEEP the trust of the RP community.
-Establish rules for imprisonment/consent to RP (because, you may be surprised to know, people whose characters are criminals seldom actually enjoy being put in the clink).
-Find a roleplay base and establish rules for when and how far one is allowed to leave that base (i.e. the "Why are the Brass Blades patrolling in Gridania" rule).
In other words, while it's awesome to have one or two people around acting as GC agents, it's a very difficult thing to keep going and be part of the community where the GC members don't feel put-upon or treated like NPCs. I like those policing military forces a lot and want to make sure they get their wins sometimes too.
