Liberty Rules

[Praetyre]

Plus, Liberty's economy is largely based on prison labour. And after all, the official name of North Korea is the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".

There's an element of psychological RP in here, as well. Criminals run, because they don't want to spend years in jail. Same thing with high priced lawyers, plea bargains and the like. Many Liberty citizens oppose their governments policies, which generates ammo for the Lane Hackers and other groups. This is good, because it actually motivates people to roleplay that sort of thing. Sure, some of it can turn into OORP disputes, but sometimes it can also lead to interesting ideas, like that protest event.

I roleplay a military character. A member of the brass, and a leader. The sort of people who are stereotyped in the media in characters like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (although he wasn't high ranking, he certainly was ruthless) of Full Metal Jacket, the sort of people the average soldiers complain about. If people are complaining my character is a ruthless hard nosed sort, then I'm doing my job. The military is about discipline, cohesion, and order towards a goal. The RM RPs this perfectly. This isn't a matter of politics here. Any military in the world would be extremely harsh by modern standards, be it America or Saudi Arabia's.

The brass are the sort of people the soldiers complain about off the record in bars. If that's the effect, then I'm doing RP well, perhaps too well. There can be conflicts, but at least it's motivating people to roleplay what they wouldn't otherwise.
