**I know that I've gone on about this before and I've gotten some fairly well made arguments in the past the one that comes to mind the most is that we didn't have a map which would suppourt deployment of Conscripted forces I want to say right off the bat I Do not want this threat to turn into a flame war with everyone, I want to see some discussion and community dialogue going on, Now to get into the topic above**


I feel that given the stale state rebel Rp is going through right now that if we were to re-introduce a reserve conscript battalion similar to that of Peace company or India Company comprised of either Penal citizens or even Loyalist voulenteers or a general mixed bag of such **I've spoken to various people Via PM's who would be very interested in this both in hosting it and participating ** And we were to have them deployed In-Map along the outer city walls it could create another dynamic for rebel rp, An added threat if you will, Most of the time if you are to go near that area you'll usually see *No meta* That it's pretty much always un-manned, Now if we were to make another ragtag conscript unit on the map we could easily use areas in the Outlands like the commune for *Example* as a training grounds or even just around the outer-walls, What I'm going for here mainly is if you're a resistance fighter in-game be it a citizen dissident displeased with the union and you're taking refuge outside of the city in the outlands, Or if you're a battle hardened Anti-citizen, Most people will admitt as I've seen a good number of people here saying in looc and ooc that they're simply bored of rebel rp as of late as it seems the only form of progression of anyone's story arch has been soley through event, The Point of this being that if we're given a foe such as a conscript battalion that it could create a new element of danger, Instead of bluesuit's just rushing out in the open they may have to be slightly sneakier even sometimes taking the longer routes otherwise you might be shot or even killed by a Conscript, Currently there's zero threat, there's no overwatch soldiers constantly manning it, no turrets, It's just a big gate with a wall and I'd kind of like to see that change aswell I'd like everyone's opinion on implementing this, If we can get significent suppourt from the community given this is something they'd like to see to spice up rebel/outlands rp aswell as even citizen rp, Beacuse remeber you can possibly have Loyalists and Penal citizens poetentially being drafted and sent out there this could help shape and develop even some characters giving them a mixed outlook on both the Union and the Resistance.

unnecessary whitelist that will only cause problems by abusing the powers that they have

let it go mate, they wont be added
Oh, I'm not proposing a whitelist. Not at all.
It will work like a penial battalion, Or a mix of Penal's and Loyalist volunteers.
in the same way that India company worked.
Purely In-character as disposable bodies for overwatch to throw.

Yeah, that's what I mean, I did this to see how the community would react and what people think about it, @Merlinsclaw Has expressed interest in reviving the faction and I wanted to do this as a public consensus.

Happy almost birthday

Conscripts do not work outside of events, frankly (and even then they don't work in most events).

Even under the best leads like @Powley they eventually turn to shit when the lead isn't looking, they have next to nothing to do and invariably get flooded with meme characters and hardened psychopaths that'd frankly put most cops to shame.

Hell when they had the Outlands to go to they were OTA-lite and people took the piss.

there are exceptions such as toride and revolution in which conscripts worked pretty well, but again, they didnt have authority over anyone and were just citizens with kevlar and mp5's

If you wanted your fill of s2k and army themed roleplay then go to ww3rp.
Quill banned conscript events mostly because he didnt want to step into ww3rp territory.

They don't even belong in a CITY map and even then, conscripts were a mess during heavy snow, that I can confirm.

It was also a Dallas event so very few people were actually willing to fuck around on that scale, to be honest.

Compare that to 99% of other conscript events or even when they were implemented on LP and CW and they very quickly ran into meme territory.
