We have one goal, and one goal alone.  We are an experiemntal institution, loosely under government supervision.  Eradicating poverty or hunger is something that nobody can accomplish, nor is truly eradicating crime.  However, we will do our best to root out the most dangerous criminals and take them down.

"Of course it is. I doubt we'll get that far, considering the limitations of Role Playing Games and such. Just a thought, with us providing all of our ideas."

[Playergamer]

(Yep.)

(( So TCM? I did respond to you . ))

"We don't have the resources now, give me time I recruited 45 men in a day. I know a lot of people who will agree with what we're doing. We'll grow.

"Who was it that brought up funding issues? Regardless, our budget is in the low quadruple digits, whereas the normal police departments have budgets in the millions for the larger cities. Money makes the world go round--without it, we'll be unable to find anyone willing to work for us in dangerous conditions, and the employees we have will need to leave. Long-term, we aren't sustainable."
More grumbling.

The difference is that when the police screw up, everyone knows that they were following procedure.  But other than a few general guidelines, we have no rules.  We have no group ethics code that the public knows.

"As long as we don't cause abuse of that power, as long as we stay on the straight and narrow path" (for some reason Carl is staring at Blank) "the public should give us a fair amount of trust...and a single failure won't change what we get."

"How doesn't money help? Also it keeps people from becoming criminals."

Carl laughs.
"No offense, but religious people can be the biggest crooks of all. Regardless, unless your religion is eating up enough time that they can't commit crimes, it won't seriously change anything in that department. And the money...will help. Mention that directly next time someone asks you."
"...What is your religion about, anyways?"

"If we're talking about long-term, we could bolster education and eradicate poverty. That would help."

"That's an excellent idea, and more or less what I was thinking of. How? Even the poorest school districts are better-funded than us."

"If we can't eliminate the root causes of crime, we'll be fighting a war that could never be won."
"_{They gave me a number and they murdered Valjean/When they chained me and left me for dead,/Just for stealing a mouthful of bread.}"

((Don't mix IC and OOC.
Also, if we're thinking as big as "eliminating crime," we might as well start at the source.

"My men will not be going anywhere. They understood exactly what they were getting into, money is not a concern for them and I'll handle it anyway.

[GreatWyrmGold]

"You really think that they can work for free, indefinitely? Or that we should have them do so?"

Blank looks away for a second before turning to Carl.
"It's about... a sentient watermelon."

[TCM]

"So, they cut us loose entirely and we continue doing our job. Sure I'll join the training as well. I'm a little out of practice my tactics in the past 2 years didn't involve very much direct combat.


Once we have spare kit sure, right now we have 15 sets of S.W.A.T kit and 15 S.W.A.T using it. None of them will surrender there personal equipment.

"I wasn't asking for their personal belongings, obviously they'd hang on to that. Is S.W.A.T. Equipment specified to each individual officer or is there a general armory or something of the sort?"

(Yep.)

"Thank you for the clarification."

Victoriea turns to Carl. "No offense, but if you're focused on rooting out all crime permanently, you may want to run for political office rather than this line of work."

[4maskwolf]

Regardless of what they will and will not do, it is only fair and right that they receive salaries, particularly in such a high-risk job.  We work outside of the legal system, meaning that they will see far more action than the average cop.

[Patrick Hunt]

"They won't need to. I'll take care of it.
Why are you even here? So far all you've said is that our jobs a waste of time and it can't be done.


Each individual person and this town has no spare kit. This team was made up on the spot and has it's own kit and nothing else. The other 10 are my boys and brought there own kit with them.


They will get paid when I finish setting things up, until then that's all we can do unless you want to just send everybody home and give up now?

[4maskwolf]

I'm not saying that.  But as soon as we get some revenue, they should at least be paid something.  Even if they are willing to work for free for now, at the very least it will keep morale up if things look bad at the start.

(What happened to my dice? Did an NPC in this game put a magnet under my desk or something?)

"It's about... a sentient watermelon."

"...If you hadn't started I would have asked you to make it sound less parodical. Anyways, morality? Parables?"

Victoriea turns to Carl. "No offense, but if you're focused on rooting out all crime permanently, you may want to run for political office rather than this line of work."

"Isn't that what we were told to do? I have no intent of disobeying orders."

Regardless of what they will and will not do, it is only fair and right that they receive salaries, particularly in such a high-risk job.  We work outside of the legal system, meaning that they will see far more action than the average cop.

"And they will need to eat. And want to do things like pay the electric bill, enjoy the occasional movie, and not be subject to the whims of their pension's medical plan."

"They won't need to. I'll take care of it."

"How?"

"Why are you even here? So far all you've said is that our jobs a waste of time and it can't be done."

((Who is this aimed at?))

"They will get paid when I finish setting things up, until then that's all we can do unless you want to just send everybody home and give up now?"

"How do you intend to pay them, or others?"

(What happened to my dice? Did an NPC in this game put a magnet under my desk or something?)

((Why are your dice magnetic?))

[Patrick Hunt]

(( You, and we're doing a PM meeting and I keep getting 1's. ))

"Better if you don't know how.
