cops without uniforms plotting to perform several terrorist attacks to regain their command links with overwatch

rebels stuck trying to pacify towns, unable to determine who's a refugee, who's a nutcase and who's a union sympathizer
many from both sides die in the chaos

all hail the new era
flip it round, have the rebels own the town, reverse occupation would be very interesting

actual great idea, praying for this

it'd be funny seeing a modern reign of terror as anyone and everyone is surviving in some new revolutionary city and under threat of execution if TWO people accuse them of some union collaboration

This would require introducing a new faction since so far we've pinned the anthrax bombings with military grade missiles and other morally questionable stuff on unaffiliated mercs to keep Lambdas reputation squeaky clean without ever elaborating on who hired them or manning up and making Lambda a little morally flexible now that Eli and Freeman fucked off after HLA

and also maybe introducing something to do with any union-affiliated citizens who stay around after reverse occupation ends since the refugee camp is a little barren right now and theres a ban on conscripting people into civil protection

Some would even consider treating a metrocop as anything but a walking, talking target equivalent to being a target yourself. The schizophrenic scandi who made a conscious effort to stab a captive cop to death while people tried to pull them off of him comes to mind.
I think it makes perfect sense for someone who has been imprisoned longer than he knows, and subjected to horrors beyond your understanding as a result, to not be buddy-buddy with cops - and frankly fucking gruesomely murdering the first one he can

the actual situation and the way it played out is way more nuanced and well RP'd than you portray it as, and using it as an example while blatantly disregarding the actions which took place before and after is intellectually dishonest if you want anyone to take what you are posting seriously

thanks

I'm going to give you exactly one post to realise why letting cops capture refugees/rebels to strap bomb collars to them and (under threat of PK) force them to fight is an absolutely abysmal idea IC and OOC.

sincere apologies for missing the nuances behind the encounter, I wasn't meaning to imply there aren't reasons why someone would act like that towards the people complicit with an alien regime that turns people into stalkers and the act of violently murdering one in captivity while others attempt to stop you can't be RPed properly and implying there would be rebels killing rebels over the subject because they didn't want to is entirely wrong so far

I was just trying to make the point that some rebels may not be willing to accept a temporary peace between cops and may quite frankly gruesomely murder as many as possible, which may or may not have consequences for so called DMZs or alliances

Make the possibility of losing as a faction very real. Make raids and attacking strategic targets provide a bonus beyond mindless pvp. I guarantee you'll see at least some balance in population.

Although as it gets later in the day pop will drop naturally, but the concept of actually losing ground will mean you won't see such drastic swing in pop.
