It's all in your head.

Not sure if it classifies as a cope but -  In my head I RP it's 2002-2004 something.

by now we should really have the national guard as a faction that steps in to gun down waves of gangbangers on the side of the street

 

the strive for realism has gone so far beyond realism that the entire server is just different factions warring between one another while the few legal players around take shelter like it's france circa 1942

And god forbid one of the few legal RPers decide to utilize their PF gun in self defense that'd be fully legal & justified IRL...

why does every thread have to devolve into illegal vs illegal man, you guys don't have anything better to talk about or what?

There are a lot of different ways we have to cope with the roleplay that happens on this server that go far beyond the population and the emptiness. As an LEO, there's so much gang violence and quote unquote 'stupid shit' that we have to deal with, that we literally can't even realistically develop off of half of our encounters, or we'd all be RPing serial killers who've shot 10-12 underaged kids each if we took every PK to heart. My character alone, as an SEB operator would have more bodies under their belt than the entirety of a station does in a year's time irl.

We literally have to pick-and-choose what development is realistic and fitting for the stories we're trying to tell. It's insane.

U mean I’m not supposed to have mental anguish after getting into more firefights than fallujah had?

This is a joke from my side, but wouldn''t it be better if we looked at teleporting hackers as people using a sandevistan and aimbotters as netrunners with smartlink? Would've make more sense. 🙂

I cope by imagining everyone's character is deeply in love with pie.
