Update Marine Law

Post by Skane10634 » 15 Dec 2016, 15:49

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Add more laws to the server

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Will improve RP so cancerous things such as overloading the drop pod by 3x its recommended weight is fine.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Laws such as "Wasting ammo" and "Random murder of wild-life" as well as "Medical Mal-practice" IE intentionally ODing a marine.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Er, add more laws to the book?

Those laws are kinda... crappy. Ayys can act as friendly and ambush marines... come on. "Don't waste ammo?" What do you mean by that? And you can't OD marines on purpose, or you'll receive a gud and old job ban

On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.

Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.

Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.

Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.

Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

Here go my ideas:

Harassment - To intentionally pressure and individual in an agressive manner for the purpose of receiving trivial results. (i.e yelling on your radio about how the MPs are rogue and you'd shoot them if you weren't on duty. )

+1 I guess
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

I miss laws too. Like disrespectful behaviour towards superiors. Or abusing your power as an officer/MP.

-1. Completely unnecessary.

Also what "recommended weight"?
Sur 'Druglord' Lahzar; Field Engineer, Perpetually Understaffed and Exasperated CMO/Doctor/Researcher
Bando 'Baldboi' Badderson; PFC, Five foot ten of pure bald glory.

I like Crab-Spider's idea, other than that it is a -1.

Alright here goes nothing:

Perjury - The act of lying or intentionally falsifying information while being questioned.

EX. A marine has broken into Requisitions and stolen several items, along with ID theft. An MP questions him and after some forensics, it turns out the questioned Marine was actually the one who did the crimes mentioned.

Now onto Neglect Of Duty, a crime no one understands, or even bothers to report to us.
► Show Spoiler
THIS NEEDS BETTER CLARIFICATION AND EVEN MORE EXAMPLES JUST AS IT SHOULD HAVE HIGHER CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE IN THE HIGHER RANKS OF CHAIN OF COMMAND.

Reckless Endangerment - To unintentionally or knowingly cause potential harm to the lives of others during peacetime or while ship side.

EX.

False accusation - when you tell someone did a crime although you know it didn't happen, especially in the case when you tell you were the victim. Eg. you lie to the MPs you were beaten

Stealing important items, like surgery tools, extinguishers from safety cabinets. Or getting gauze, tricord injection etc. from the nanomeds because you are too lazy to go into medbay. I almost bled to death in the cafeteria as MP once because all gauze was looted.

More marine laws will be added, with the lore and tone of the server in mind, soon. Resolved.
