L+ police could resort to special verbal attacks that have a chance of causing the target to stop resisting arrest/shooting/whatever.

For extra silliness, police and SWAT members who are recruited during L or L+ police law could have more charisma and possibly a few persuasion points, from all the sensitivity training and lessons in how to talk down a perp.

I like this idea.

Honestly, a lot of the L+ ideals are almost more anarchist than liberal; the little + sign there seems to denote a transition from American moderate liberalism to radical leftism. So I think it would make sense for police in an L+ society to really just be more like trained mediators.

I always thought that the little + sign next to liberal or conservative meant it went past realms of normalcy. For example the animal rights issue, Liberal+ would be animals would be equal in status to humans completely while Conservative+ would require everyone to kick 10 dogs a day and only endangered species would be served as food.

Also, you don't get newspaper articles about kidnappings anymore.

Edit: In fact, you don't get newspapers at all.
Edit2: Except on violent things.

Law skill is now capped by the Wisdom stat.  Kinda bad for creating Hippie Lawyers.

What do the black GNG spraypaint tags on the walls mean?

Law isn't capped by Wisdom. At the end of my last game, my founder had her Law skill at 4 or 5, while her Wisdom was still at 1.

You're right, I started playing the save file again, and the Law skill turned from +0.99 to 1.00, so it was just a minor glitch, nothing to worry about.  Sorry.

Guessing Law is capped by int?

I have the option of making "bunker gear" clothing, it's expensive ($500) and difficult to make, what exactly is it?

[Squeegy]

Firefighter gear.

EDIT: Also, sleepers can become leaders.

Does this cause any problems in the game? I might leave it in as an unintended feature.

Except stories involving murders, to be precise. An unfortunate side effect of me trying to be clever but forgetting that news story types are not stored as a bit field. Thanks for pointing this out.

This would go nicely with replacing prisons with rehabilitation centers which would rehabilitate your liberals into peaceful members of society.  While an L+ society is less dangerous for your life, it's actually more dangerous for the cause since it's more effective at eliminating LCS members.  These cops should be liberal btw, so that attacking them would alienate everyone ("You shot him!  You fucking shot him!  He was offering you a hug and a teddy bear and you shot him right in the fucking leg!"  And now I have an image of a burly southern cop offering a perp a teddy bear...)  A juice loss would also make sense for shooting liberal cops.

Speaking of making the end game harder.  If gun laws are L+, then gun related violence should make people more conservative on guns rather then liberal, since they realized all of a sudden that only the criminals have guns.
