More judge activity. And not only when something goes down and someone happens to call 911 or the admin snag a puppet and 'investigate' a murder/robbery/beating. What I mean is, random raids. Perhaps an admin hops on a judge for this, and just swoops into say, the Drome. He and his 5 judge pals bag and tag anyone there. Fugitives can hear them coming, so of course, running is a choice option, but say your caught? Say you didn't do anything at all and get knocked on your ass by a flashbang/sonic? And rather than come to and look at everyone in the room like "Holy shit did you see that? Where did it come from?" There's the chrome, staring down at you with an Enforcer to your head. You might think they're there for you, maybe they are, maybe they're not. Everyone gets locked up, people that broke the law get fined. Big bad folk get popped in the head. Bounties die with them. First come first serve right?
On a sort-of side note:
I'm thinking alot of the gritty here, can't all come from the players. We got the gritty. Some have more than others yeah, but we got it in spades regardless. Its just misplaced and self-serving. I think something of issue is the lack of faction movement. Admin depending on just one npc or player to move mountains...get the WJF (worked for), the gangers (killed with hardly a second thought, no retaliation, meh), the yakuza (made deals with...meh), the mafia (chased endlessly, meh), the triads (more deals, more meh)...lets get the -world- rotating. All those meh up there, signify pointless endeavors that neither made my situation better OR worse, by all accounts those grim and potent allies made NO difference whatsoever in ANY capacity. It was pointless, always has felt that way...hence why none utilize the world anymore. Its all so blunt...that's a good way to describe it I think...the rp is just blunt.
Players follow the flow. And lets face it, its grown extremely stagnant. WJF should be making you intimate with scanners and guns. See someone who doesn't look like they belong in Mix or on Gold...segregate them bitches. Fine, judge, rob, brutalize, kneecap. But of course, my fluffyness says leave them alive. So they have a story, or an emotion they can fulfill.
