Faction Descriptions [12/MAY/2011]

Post by Aline » Thu May 12, 2011 8:46 pm

Re-posting this since it was deleted. Note: This refers to forceful removals of official factions (de-scriptions), not the describing of factions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LSPD (CID) and/or SASD (DB) have to fulfill a few requirements before being able to attempt taking down an official illegal faction in character followed by an OOC description. Once these requirements are met, they have a certain amount of time to attempt taking down the faction in question while of course following a few guidelines given with this new system. For the information below, I will seperate between the time before the description attempt starts and the time after the description attempt started.


Before The Description Attempt Started

Guidelines for the LSPD/SASD

    Description 'Points': Description points are added to the record of illegal factions for in character crimes found out about by the LSPD (CID) and SASD (DB). Serious crimes add more points onto the record than less serious crimes. Once a faction reaches a certain amount of description points, the CID/DB can attempt to take them down. If this attempt is successful, the faction in question will be descripted. Note: For description points to apply, the information around the crime has to fulfill the requirements stated in 'OOC Proof' below.

    OOC Proof: All information (evidence, names of members, etc) gathered by the LSPD/SASD require an attachment with OOC information on how it was gathered as well as by whom. If a non-LSPD/SASD member (e.g. informant) provided information on members of an illegal faction and/or crimes done by them, the name of the informant has to be included OOC together with screenshots of the full conversation. In addition, the person has to be asked how he/she found out about the information and he/she has to provide screenshots (or similar) proving he/she actually received the information.

    HoF Approval: The LSPD and/or SASD can attempt to take down a faction in character if a certain amount of description points was reached. If the CID or DB believe that they have enough evidence against an illegal official faction in character and wish to attempt taking it down, the casefile in question has to be forwarded to the Head of Factions. The Head of Factions will then either accept or deny the request of starting the attempt based on whether there are enough description points or not. If the request was declined, another one can be sent once more proof was found.

Guidelines for Mafias/Gangs

    Killing Detectives: If the mafia or gang that is being investigated on finds out about the investigations as well as the detective behind it and kills the detective as a result, the killed detective's character can't be used to continue investigations on the mafia/gang in question for two months. The detective's memory of the mafia/gang is wiped as well (PK). These are the guidelines for killing detectives of the CID and DB:
    → The mafia/gang executing the kill has to show proof of how they got to know that the detective being killed was investigating on their organization on request. If they were told by a non-faction member IC, that person will also have to deliever proof of how he/she received that information. Gathered proof has to be forwarded to the HoF for review if the killed detective requests it.
    → If no proof showing that the faction found out about the detective in question being onto them is given OR the faction didn't actually know the detective they went after was investigating on them in character, the permanent PK doesn't apply and he/she may resume working on the casefile right away.

    Official Members: If possible, an illegal official faction has to keep all members involved in the activities of the organization in character invited via /invite. Regardless of this, the faction leadership has to keep track of all these members at all times, and make sure that its list of members is frequently updated. The list has to be posted and updated actively in the forum section of the mafia/gang on the LS-RP forums.


After The Description Attempt Started

Information for All

    Mafia/Gang Members: At the point of approving the description attempt request, the list of all members of the mafia/gang is saved by the Head of Factions as well as the amount of members on the list.

    Breach of Regulations: If one of the sides (LSPD/SASD and Mafia/Gang) fails to follow their guidelines during the description attempt, the description is - unless decided otherwise by the Head of Factions - stopped. If this violation was done by the LSPD/SASD, a new attempt may not be started on the same mafia/gang for one month. If the violation was done by the mafia/gang, the attempt is declared successful and the faction is descripted. Again, this may vary, depending on the situation and decision of the Head of Factions.

    Start of Attempt: When the description attempt starts, the leader of the mafia/gang is informed OOC. It is his or her responsibility to ensure that everyone within the faction continues as usual in character and doesn't show any signs of metagaming.

Guidelines for the LSPD/SASD

    Goal: To succeed the attempt of taking down the mafia/gang, the CID/DB have to take out 50% of all members of the faction in question. At the point of the description attempt request getting accepted, the Head of Factions saves the 'official' list of all members of the mafia/gang. Only this list of members is relevant to the success of the attempt. A member is 'taken out' if he/she was either arrested, killed while attempted to be arrested by the CID/DB in regards to the active description attempt, left town in character, went inactive or got character killed. If a description attempt fails, another request may not be sent before one month passed.

    Arrests: When it comes to 'taking out' members of the mafia/gang that is being worked against, CID/DB detectives and alike have to actually attempt arresting them. Only if a proper reason is given to shoot down a suspect, a police member involved in this is allowed to do it. This is to avoid LSPD/SASD members trying to find reasons to shoot down evading suspects associated to the mafia/gang instead of pursuing.

Guidelines for Mafias/Gangs

    Frozen Roster: Once a description attempt started, the mafia/gang may no longer recruit new members. In addition, characters may not be 'exchanged' (e.g. RPing to leave town and returning with a new one) while the attempt is active.

    Members' Activity: If a member of the mafia/gang who was on the list of the faction at the beginning of the attempt stops going in-game after the attempt started, he or she has to report this to the Head of Factions or his/her leader who then has to inform the Head of Factions. Failure to report the inactivity of such a member can count as violation of the description attempt guidelines.

    Killing Detectives: The same guidelines apply as for the time prior to the start of the description attempt.

Just so everyone knows what to RP concerning the description rules and the addition of new factions:

With the security forces of San Andreas making a concerted push against the established criminal underworld, the stakes are higher than ever now. Beleaguered and divided, the longtime malefactors of Los Santos are now giving way to new players on the scene to fill the ever increasing power vacuum.
