Waiting for OP

Leo, you can claim the in-game leader character if you want. That is awesome and i agree with it whole heartedly.

Waiting for OP

Hey I can't be present at all times.

Ok. I see what Leo is trying to achieve, a sort of Hobo Code system to help with Operations.

A small van will set you back £500 for a bad, second hand vehicle. Fuel is cheap at 50p a Liter.

Recruitment technique is good as well, maybe with a counter ambush technique if anything goes awry?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

I'm thinking counter-ambush is no good, as the police will then just kill / capture more of us. It's possible that Jack could get rolled, though. I dunno. He should carry some pocket money so the mugger can take something if that happens.

What are police typically armed with?

[maxicaxi]

bump

[Hoborobo234]

Police are armed with differentiating equipment depending on where they are stationed. High or Middle class areas police are armed with Pistols and minimal body armor. Low class areas have more of a conventional 2000's uniform with some body armor, truncheons and pistols. In some High crime areas, such as the docklands, Soldiers are used to keep the peace but only in the most extreme areas where some Criminals are just too bountiful. This is usually in heavily contested "Gang Warfare" areas.

From the few accounts that have been recounted, the Secret Police are sometimes very lightly equipped when wandering about, usually only harboring a Small Pistol which is used for Self Defense. When in Ambush mode however, they will most often have Sub Machine guns or Rifles which they will used with proficient accuracy and skill.

[maxicaxi]

to much, unless jack detonates a powerful alcohol based bomb which he sets off in case trouble. killing him and everybody in the immediate area. 

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah, I was hoping that maybe we could do the counter-ambush idea, that we could capture some weapons and kill a bunch of secret police while we're at it. But it sounds like we'd either get nothing worthwhile out of it, or else the police ambush would be too tough for us regardless. Plus we'd be endangering more of our Loyalists.

im going to be the next recruit nd im going to be named Napoleon

Oh also, officially, I vote we buy the van. Are there any laws about vehicle ownership? Do we have to submit our odometer readings every month? Is it legal to get it repaired wherever? Are there regular petrol stations around?

If we do buy the van, search it thoroughly back in the warehouse for listening / tracking devices. If we find a bug, LEAVE IT and just talk like we're normal people while we're in the van. If we find a tracking device, disable it without removing it so it looks like it might have just broken on its own.

This gives us the opportunity to buy fuel occasionally. We can stockpile fuel here and there for use in explosives. If necessary we can turn the odometer ahead every so often to make it look like we used extra fuel when we actually just siphoned it off.

Vehicle Ownership Charter (2013): vehicles must be bought from a Government Source and a Valid reason for buying the vehicle must be registered with the Approved Vendor of Motor Vehicles. Suspicious or Dangerous use of a vehicle will result in the seizing of the Vehicle in question and R.I.R for the driver. Hopeful purchasers will have to complete and gain a sufficient result in a Motor Vehicle Practice Test. Failure to gain a sufficient mark will result in a failed test. Hopeful purchasers will not be able to re-take the test in 6 months

[Diablous]

Crap. what about bikes, or stuff like that?

[Hoborobo234]

Pedal Bikes can be bought from shops in Middle- and High-Class areas. The Harbour Master in the Docks may be able to sell you a boat and a mooring dock

[Kashyyk]

Well, having a van to transport furniture between our warehouse and our shop seems like a valid reason to me.
