Peace Protestor Faction

[Zelot]

I simply think it would force the Navy to be ingenious to make them shut up. And, since we are RPers, I think we could very well RP being arrested and to stay nearby Sugarland, still shouting our speeches.

It would force the Navy to either shoot you or ignore you. Do you think protesters in Jail, still have the ability to shout out their slogans for all to hear. It's just not fair to the Navy, as there is no way for them to come out of it well.



In the United States for instance, when someone wants to stage a protest, they need to apply for a permit and meet various requirements. If they dont abide by the rules, they are asked to leave, if they dont they are arrested. Done and done, no big deal. I can tell you as someone who has done alot of protesting in my day, that most protest groups are in fact, interested in getting the police to do something wrong, and they will go very far, sometimes to the point of breaking the law themselves to get the police to do that. This is your point here, problem is that in real life when you get arrested, you go away, pretty quietly in fact, you dont get to stick around the system chanting your slogans.



If you rp'ed being arrested and not being able to keep talking, I can tell you exactly how it would go, you would show up, spout off slogans until one of your people got impatient and did something silly, they would arrest you, and it would be done.



If you were to do it, I would say, one of the things a government would do is say you can only protest in area X, and you can't leave area X. Also they would probably say that you can't use system chat, only Local. You would have an effective range of maybe 20k where people could hear your message. Maybe have a march type thing from one base to another, using local the whole way. The key would have to be the limits you and the opposing group set on it. There would have to be a way for the lawfuls to win, it would be for a set amount of time, if nothing happens and you spout your slogans by the rules set, the lawfuls come out ok, if you get out of line, the lawfuls arrest you, and they come out alright, but if you get under their skin enough, then they attack you and you win. Chasing Battleships is no good, because in real life, they would just arrest you, like they do with greepeace ships that get in the way of naval operations in real life.



Lastly, I wouldnt try and get between the OC and the Sairs, I can also tell you how that will go......."Dont fight! Make Love Not War! Arms are for... *Boom*" Done and done. They dont really care about bad PR.
