Not everyone is going to be lore compliant. It's a simple fact of life and while this guide was probably made in good faith, not everyone is going to necessarily want to abide by it nor care. I personally will be roleplaying as much as I can within the bounds of lore, but some people are just going to want to go hog wild and that's equally valid.I agree.
The guide is nice but you are expecting everyone to follow it. The issue then becomes when you are interrupting someone's roleplay to push the 'law' on someone who did not wish to partake in the first place. I know why you made this post and anyone on Tumblr can find it.
You are free to RP how you wish but to anyone who reads this and wishes to Roleplay as a law enforcement, Be kind and ask before approaching. Some people may be in the middle of a plot with limited time or they may be open for it!
There is one simple rule when trying to roleplay as any type of law enforcement:
ALWAYS ASK BEFORE ENGAGING IN ROLEPLAY
"I know why you made this post and anyone on Tumblr can find it."
I take exception to this statement. I don't know who you are, I don't believe I've ever interacted with you and I don't know who you seem to think I am. I have a tumblr that I have only ever reblogged things on. My last post on that that wasn't reblogged from someone else was a pair of screenshots of a bunch of people running around in Garlean uniforms prior to the last maintenance.
To address the wider issue that my wording has apparently spawned. My intent was to simply to share information since those "hiccups" I mentioned were born from what I presume to be a lack of knowledge. If my OP reads as something to be taken as gospel then I apologise. I thought the word "guide" would have been indicative enough, but apparently not. Readers are free to do what they will with the information presented.
