man you can't hope to compete in there at all. the only "police" action would be to all sing dah doo doo doo, dah dah dah dah while turning to white dots!
maybe PVP human screen would buy some time but thats about it.

ye, lol... hehe

nah, seriuosly, who cares if you would/could succeed all the time? i'm sure there would be situations where a PvP-defender-squad would change the turning out of a story. then again, often it won't.
anyway, it would add quite some spice and fun. adventure is when you don't know how it will turn out ;)

i'd compare this to CRT, even if the task seems to be quite harder.

this is the form of roleplaying that is possible and reasonable in an MMORPG (instead of talking with sketchy voices on TS and fooling around with your lvl69 orc, rofl).

i would not join, because i have my soc.. my place to be.. but i'd be in as hired gun if you call me from time to time ^^

GL, i love RP-socs ;)
 
I like the idea!!! NIKE - do it!

(And great for me to have more green dots in pvp4 to shoot at and to loot from :D )

Buck.
 
voted that i liked the idea..
but i have a soc doing this for me already :)

to bad for the other miners..
my whole soc would say "BRING ON THE COPPERSS XXXDDDD"

.... and sadly i have to agree with them xD " BRING ON THE COPPERSSSS "
 
I see it would be challenge, the amount of really tough people who go in there could wipe out an intire team. There are some unsung who patrol there waiting for a kill.

Could work though, just be up to the team recruited, since the large costs of decay and ammo etc.

What might work, is a sort of escort, for newcomers to get to the rig, you could police and protect a group and defend against other people and the mobs.
 
good idea, :) if u make this police soc u would have to make unique police cloths lol and pub bowler hat is my recomendation maybe a navy one with yellow ribbon or somthing :)

any ways gl !
 
If yo see da' polis, warn a brotha!
 
Well, I think this is a pretty good indicator.

However, if all the (like it but can't join) and (like it but an undecided) got a possitive attitude suddenly about the idea, then the numbers would be almost equal... at least in head count.

Odds are, however, that many, many ubers are counted in that last category of meanies. Shame that more would not like the opportunity at redemption, and try wearing the white hat for a while.... (no, it does not pay well, but you would be more satisfied with the person you become)

I think the whole things is a good demonstration of human nature, and why the United Nations can never work IRL ;) It is human nature (and good) to take care of yourself first, but in the absence of any counter-balancing ideology, we keep taking care of ourselves, even at great expense to others... so the world goes.

But I thought maybe educated, thoughtful, and compassionate online community was ahead of society.... guess I was wrong ;)

(wonder if that stirs anyone to change their mind......naaa..probably not)


Another way that there could be potential for such an idea, is if MA would invent some sort of multi-level society idea... i.e. alliances or sub-societies. These would be useful for sooooo many things, inprove community interaction, and could also allow people to join a police alliance without having to leave their beloved society.

Come on MA... DO IT... then we promise to spend lots and lots of peds shooting at eachother in PVP.

DOWN WITH THE OPPRESSORS!
 
What if potential applicants, had to be recruited through a Sheriffs depot. Where they got specialty armor, weapons, and a badge.

While in this mode, such players would not be allowed to loot anyone or anything. Adjust the gear and weapons, so that they are fair to the PVPers. Maybe throw in some other constraints as well... to make sure that the system is not abused in someway.

Could add some more fun for everyone...and might even get more people willing to risk pvp4, if they think that there might be some measure of protection available. But it would not be total protection.

Aside from gear... the tactics of the PVPers should compensate for the Sheriffs Posse presence. Would just have to be designed to eliminate any exploits.

k.. just a thought..though probably not a good one.
 
This is a late respons just found this tread.

I rely like the idea, it just needs some adjustments. CRT gets you out when stuck at a bad place, The Police works in the other direction, get the client to what ever place he/she want to go.

I know im taking the idea a bit of track, but i think that a escorting service would be more liked all over EU then just in PvP4. If i get the motherload of lets say Blood moss it would be nice to extract it logg of call the Police and the next time i logg on they will be there and take me out, but the thing whit trust, i would never do that the chanses i logg on and get looted would probobaly be big. And the same goes for escorting a noob to the rig and get a % of the oil, if The Police can close the rig for a noob then why not for them selfs?

But i can see a Soc called The Police, doing what ever a soc does best, and having a site and a tread on EF where any one can ask for help to get from point A to B. The Police then get a time, date and place to meet up, escort the client to where ever and hunting looting what they meet along the way, and by doing that they get fun soc activitys and never know from time to time what they will hunt, and where, its up to where the client needs to go.

By making it like a soc hunt to escort the client the service dont have to cost a single pec, all societys hunt and this would be the same but whit a stranger taging along. The Police gets a good hunt and provides a nice serive, cant get any better.
 
Nice idea.....but then an uber offers 5% off the loot tt for the info of where police are!

The corruption!!! lol

Police, criminals, informants......Entropia sopranos edition! :yay:
 
Just make a soc and name it PvP4 Police. :rolleyes:

Those who are interested will join in.
 
COP KILLERS FTW!

this idea is retarded.... but do it... cuz the pk'ers will have more people to pk.

DEAD cops everywhere...

the fucking maxed out RX units can't even stay alive around Entropia's top pk'ers
 
Wow, would this end up becoming like a service to protect others in like dangerous places like oil rig?
 
I'd like to
but
<-- noob here :laugh:
 
I'd love to join if..
  • I could stay in my soc
  • I didn;t have to pay tox. shots
  • Or ammo
  • Or decay
  • And I'd be fine with handing over any loot I accumulate from PKing, because if my expenses are paid it's only fair

The problem is, where would all those PEDs come from?
 
Sounds fun... It's way too seldom I see green dots on my radar in pvp4. :cool:
 
PK'ers For Hire

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this post before posting a similar one!! A few of my soc mates had expressed some concern about wanting to mine in the PVP lootable areas, but of course were concerned of extracting a nice HoF.... should that happen.I am subscribing to this for future reading... :cool:

hmm

since most police are more corrupt then the most of us... NO :d
 
Every Man/Woman for YourSelves!

:handgun::nana:
 
Dogs of war

Idea is interesting. But this soc or force should not be called ''police''. As we all know police is paid from taxes not by private ppl(at least thats the official way LOL), and they can't be hired to protect.

So instead of police maybe mercenaries? Dogs of War?

And as well I can't even imagine what kind of budget this task force would need:scratch2:

Subscribed :popcorn:

ps. Fade +rep for nice idea:D
 
Very nice idea; I was playing with a similar idea myself a while ago... but I sort of give up since I believe it might not work "as advertised" :).
I was thinking more of vigilante group that can be called when someone goes REPEATEDLY over the line; the problem is... who's to draw the line? Also, since the people that are abusing others in some ways are usually not doing it in PVP, it would be very difficult to do something about it and not get banned by MA for interfering with the gameplay.

There is the funds issue too: most of us can't spend extra on things like this since the profits, if there are any, are rather small.

With all that, I'd like to see some "spice" added to the story and making it more exciting from a role-play perspective. I still am a strong believer that MA should do a lot more for improving the storyline; I (and other people) suggested in other posts that they should create Akbal-Cimi the Robot Base planet, where people can fly, and have only one base there which will be under constant attacks from the robot army; the settlers then can organize the defense of that base along with raids around the base and maybe even in some neighboring robot bases.

Reading another post, I had an idea for something that might be fun, so I thought I would bounce it off of the community.

The idea is a PVP area Police force. A society commited to defending others in PVP, bound by honor to not fire on anyone except know 'thieves', and to protect the miners and hunters in pvp who have a good reputation.

This the only form of Police I could stomache in this game: One with no special authority from MA. I voted: "Bring it on", because I would be among your worst nightmares! :laugh: But I would love to see you try! :D
(Oh and better hide when the likes of Star come around, hide like I do :laugh:)
 
I also note that hardly any ubers will join this self-appointed police force. My guess is, this is because they are your worst trespassers! :laugh: :wtg:
