What, if anything, do you say to the police? Suppose you are a male roleplayer with an in-character girlfriend. While at the hospital, an obviously new player starts hitting on your girlfriend and asking for her number. She refuses, and the player calls her a very rude name. How do you respond to this situation? While driving around in roleplay you notice a large group of people stopped on the side of a road. You stop to see what they're doing and you observe them jumping through a wall with no collision and laughing about it. What do you say to these people? What else do you do in this situation? You and your gang members are exploring a new mechanic added to the server. While messing around, you get a notification that says "You're missing 3 green wires, 4 red wires, and a wrench". How do you convey this to your gang? Optional Questions If you could introduce one new mechanic to the server, what would it be and why? If you could introduce one new rule to the server, what would it be and why? If you could change one thing about civilian life on the server, what would it be and why?

Why?: An LEO charged an individual with Driving without a valid License after the individual was pulled over for speeding and had forgotten their license at home. The individual provided their name and date of birth to the officer at the traffic stop, and was positively identified. The ticket is being disputed in court. What factors would you consider? LEOs receive a 911 call about an individual grabbing phones from a display case in a Digital Den. As LEOs arrive on scene, the individual runs out of the store without paying and flees on a bicycle. After a brief chase on the bicycle, the individual is apprehended and taken to cells. There is no hostage involved in the offence. Search of the suspect reveals a class 1 firearm tucked in their waist band. After arrest, the suspect was cooperative with police. What would be the appropriate charges in this situation? What factors would you consider? LSFD has called LEOs to the scene of a construction accident where "construction worker #1" was untying a bundle of lumber, causing it to fall on another individual below and kill them. After investigation, LEOs conclude that the lumber was not properly secured due to the negligence of construction worker #1. LEOs have called you to consult on the scene and are asking if they should charge the individual, and if so, with which crime. What would be the appropriate charges in this situation? What factors would you consider? Detectives receive pictures of a building filled with bricks of cocaine from a confidential informant. The pictures document the exterior and interior of the building, giving full view of the quantity of drugs located inside.
