Just an idea picked up from history class regarding totalitarian regimes - why not have the Legion start arresting people for no particular reason, detaining them, and generally being evil in a more substantial and systematic way than running around occasionally shooting people at random. Start searches, dragging people off (if possible to a place like the hounds' bunker, only much cleaner and more militaristic and sterile), then run interrogations (let people do whatever the hell they and their victims agree on) to try and extract 'confessions' from people.

Legion has work over the head. Aside of that arresting people is a thing we actualy are already doing. And we have a reason as well.

Well hello Satomi, and thank you for the comment about the wonderful legion:) Now as of right now the legion is collecting people ofr medical exams. As allowed by the world union and the Corporate Court to help keep viral material from reaching the mainland. We also all ready have a bunker apoc wich if you just follow the main road you will see it on left after the park. But to bring people in for other reason..Well if they are seen as a threat to the bunker or marines then they will be brought in:) |

You know, I think she knows here the bunker is, she was serving with the Legion.
*grins*
Reason for arresting by legion is common good of humanity of course.

SO i would like to invite you to the bunker for brainwashing...No i mean medical testing thats not the word*thinks for a moment* OHhhh yes tea i would like you to come by and have tea with me. |

This is definitely what the Legion does, if not, what they were brought to Midian for? No? Haha.. and I think partly why there are so many people retaliating against them.. for 'revenge' and so forth.. that 'cycle'.
(or for another visit to the bunker and mr. hamster.. No, I don't mean Tres.)

Tea sounds lovely Tres, I was so wrong about you guys, but first you must be my guest to the rooftop gardens over Bangkok, I want you to walk the plank....uhmm, *adjust halo* I mean path in the moonlight, very romantic with the sounds and smells of the ocean crashing against the treacherously sharp and jutting rocks below, plus my friend Davey is dying to show you his locker, it really is quite impressive and I know how marines have an affinity for such things.
And do bring the hamster Marina speaks of, I'll be hungr....I mean, I adore small woodland creatures, just ask anyone.

I think the initiating comment of this thread was more ment in a way we know from history. Like usually all totalitarian regimes use to do.
It is not ment in the way they do allready, for medical examination and things... that is a little bit roswell-alien like ;)
I think it would be a good thing for the legion to take more political targets, faction leaders, 2nds and people like that to, like said, get confessions or to convince them that "working" for the legion is a good idea (If they want to avoid further questioning session)
Imagine a totalitarian group, like so often in history, sovjets, germans or a lot of south or latin american coutnries. It would drive the legion more on the being everyones target side but would also give people and I mean groups of people a reason to scare them for a reason.
The common human for example doesn't have to fear whatever doc tres is doing. Just a thought and yeah, not mine, it was stated above allready but I like the idea.

They don't? Mimi got nabbed by him and she -was- 100% human at the time. Whatever he injected her with made her pretty damn sick.
Though really -- I think it was just his idea of a date though  (*ducks from Tres*)

The thing with the Legion is that they really don't care to control the city, in a way other regimes did. I have an alt in the Legion, though never really made my mark before having to leave... though myintention was to work with Tres an start examining/dissecting and testing the limits of some of the more interesting individuals in Midian biologically.
If the Legion were to try and control the city, I think massive screens and broadcast messages reminding people of World Union power would be the way to go. However I think too many people would ignore the threat the World Union poses (it could effortlessly bring a business to financial ruin, or kill a person), due ti the consent rule. So such a move would only be setting the UAC up for a fall.
I have designed and played in a sim where the emphasis was a totalitarian regime and the rebel's battle against it. There were sgtrict laws on mutants, meaning nekos, supernaturals (unidentified mutants) and other creatures had to be tested for purity or they were kicked out the city. The sewers/deprived lower levels and wastelands were mutant terrorist hotbeds, while the streets were entirely human and battered by propoganda. Really to pull such a move off and establish a totalitarian presence, you need to gear the whole sim towards it, and be very careful roleplay doesn't become too basic and boring (populace bash government, governtment hits hard, populace ignore the 'feel' of the sim and hit again/flout rules)... I don't think a totalitarian feel would suit Midian's anarchy for those reasons.
However the UAC do pick up people, and when I'm back I hope it will happen abit more, it is a sound idea. And I do believe the UAC should throw its weight round alittle more with economic threats and sanctions, rather than use of guns, and they could use MPD support in this. Afterall they are both paid by the World Union, and hostility between the two should be more cold war rather than outright threat...as they are vying for contracts, despite both being on the same side.
