Re: Death City's Surveillance System
Hello, campaigners! This is Devil, your resident Near / Cain mun. As most of you have already read, the Kuzunoha Detective Agency has three new owners: mr_fancy_car, xanatospileup and cardfortress (if you don't know wtf I'm talking about, you can see the IC announcement here). Linked to the Agency-- and under Near's responsibility-- is a new surveillance system, created to increase the security in DC.
While the surveillance footage will be-- technically-- watched at all times, either by Near or someone under his command, nothing will be reported without player consent. This means that if character A hits character B in a street, we will need the muns' permission to 'see' said characters in the surveillance footage; we will not just assume they were 'seen'. ICly, we can use the excuse that perhaps said characters destroyed the cameras in question, or that the aggression took place in a blind spot, and thus wasn't caught on camera, etc.
In a nutshell, all surveillance results will need player approval (or mod approval, in case of events) before they can be implemented IC-ly. Seeing as the Witch side is no longer available for players, this means that if a crime is caught on camera, the character in question will be punished for it, most likely ending up in prison for an undetermined amount of time, or until plot makes it possible to get said character out.
To make this whole process easier, I've put up a permission post of sorts here. If there is something naughty your character has done and you want it to be caught on camera, you can comment on that post saying exactly that (you may also include details about what exactly could be seen, at what time, etc.). It doesn't have to be a major crime: if you want your character to be seen through the surveillance footage doing something as, say, groping their respective love interest or stealing candy from a child, you can also use that permissions post.
If there is any other question you have re: the surveillance system, feel free to poke! My plurk is 'ihasarobot' and my AIM is 'Enigmatic Toy'. Lena (Light-mun) and Auste (Edgeworth-mun) have their contact info listed in the contact page, as well, should you need to poke them re: Agency bsnz.
One more thing-- Near's IC replies re: the surveillance system may be a little slow. There are still a few details I need to work out about it, and I'd rather be slow and give accurate information than to reply now and have to change something in the future. :/
Thanks for the attention, everyone! And holy crap, you deserve a cookie for reading this huge tl;dr. /offers cookies to everyone!
