truth to be told for proselytes/cops, this isn't a mandate and i'm in no authority to order this.

but considering the ic 'workforce is staggering due to high casualties', i recommend bringing those who escape into the facility if it's POSSIBLE. if they're out of range, if they're running, if they're armed

shoot them

if they're in reach, if they're cooperating and begging to be let inside for their mistake, if they're level-headed preferably and don't just go 'lol you might as well kill me cause i'd rather die then be in prison' like some edge tard i rped with

spare them. just try and consolidate the numbers, there's no sky god to tell you to amputate them. you need a workforce.
We've actually been trying to capture folks whenever possible, especially from mid-afternoon yesterday. It just aint always feasible unfortunately.

Those who do get captured generally are brought back though.

i've had a meeting ic with some cops on the matter and i've already noticed they aren't just shooting on sight most of the time, and while there still could be a little improvement, i can already see a difference

Yesterday in a nutshell:
Citizens and vortigaunts: Start rioting, kill one CP.
CPs one second later:

Epic riot event.

one thing i gotta say though

dont do s2k events, at least not PVP, no one will enjoy it

especially if it's rebels vs cops because that'd a heavily one sided fight, i'd advise using this time to supply rebels more seeing as it's mostly grug roleplay in terms of weapons rn, don't feel afraid to hand out actual guns and ammo

That stuff is handed out when it's deemed appropriate

We're not trying to give everyone free gear and ammo
I'm just saying, S2K events where both sides clearly aren't on a level playing field isn't really going to be a ton of fun for either side, because there's either
  • No challenge for the party with the upperhand
  • No incentive to risk their character when they'll clearly lose for the underequipped

I don't really think there's meant to be s2k events, the event isn't like heavy snow which has a heavy rebel v union focus

Well there's antlions built into the map (which event staff keep turning on) that make everyone lose ammo

On top of that the non-s2k events usually result in losing ammo

Right I was just told over steam that there was some S2K event over a supply drop or something. Just offering my two cents.
The event in question wasn't meant to be an S2K event for the record. It was just some supplies that went off-course.

Rebels literally went "lets kill them" (to quote the logs I saw when I watched them peeking) when they saw cops in the distance, ran at them and the two sides exchanged shots cause the cops couldn't break off without being beamed or shot up and if not for the turrets nearby would have died.
