Totally jumping on this opportunity while the ideas are still fresh in my mind. It's also getting late for me, so apologies if something doesn't make sense, lol.

I'm thinking of setting it in 22nd century Los Angeles (same time frame as the series), where crime rates are steadily rising. The Los Angeles Police Department** alone can't control the growing number of gangs, and it's eventually suggested they turn to the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau (stationed in Japan) to inquire about their own Sibyl System. When the system's finally implemented, gangs aren't too happy about being hunted and seemingly innocent civilians aren't too thrilled either when they're labeled as latent criminals (even when they haven't committed a crime at all).

** MWPSB's LA branch will eventually replace the LAPD, given that they have the same roles.

In regards to member groups, I've got: the MWPSB (lumping anyone who works for the Bureau here), anarchists (gang members who oppose the Sibyl System), and civilians (mostly innocent bystanders; up to you if they'll be a latent criminal).

Basically, the site'll be set just a little after the establishment of LA's Sibyl System, and it'll focus on the tension of the MWPSB vs. gangs and civilians. Weapons, contraband, smuggling, and the like are still in the process of being banned (just as the series cracked down on weapons), so all gang-related activities and weaponry are still allowed at this point. (Because how else would they fight the system??)

For criminally asymptomatic people, I think I might ban them for now, even if MWPSB's Japan branch passed that information to the LA branch. Or I might impose restrictions. I just don't want like 345987 of them running around, y'know?

On the related subject of Crime Coefficient, the player will decide what their character's initial CC is. I'll trust the players will communicate if it goes up or down during their threads.

Miscellaneous things about the site: animanga FCs, no word count, canon gangs (you can definitely create your own, too!), and occasional interest (not activity) checks. I’m fine with PB or Jcink, so I can go with whichever the majority is comfortable with?

(Sorry if I wrongfully tagged you! You can ignore this in general or if you were interested in the Sky High/Teen Titans idea I suggested, lolol.)

This idea might actually get me to finally finish watching Psycho-pass, tbh.

[minnie]

Second, I haven't really gotten that far in watching it though the idea seems interesting enough.

Third, is this a new trend? -only to ep 5? maybe?-

[TIGRIS]

oh wow, thank you for all the responses!! uvu

even if you haven't watched it (though I'd totally recommend it ofc), I'll make a thread that'll explain any mechanics from the anime like the sibyl system, info on psycho-pass and crime coefficient, the roles in mwpsb, how dominators work, criminally asymptomatic individuals, and all that good stuff. :^)

(but jsyk, the first episode does a great job at explaining all of the /basic/ mechanics!)

that said, i should probs get to watching that second season... oops.

edit: since I've already started a skin on my PB test site, I'm probably gonna stick with PB. everyone okay with that?

[noodles]

i too have not seen psycho pass ever but your outline sounds rly great!

and ye pb for life

fine by me

[ROGUE]

omg. I've only seen season 1 because it was on Netflix but I loved it so much.

[★Star]

The concept seems pretty cool! I haven't seen psycho-pass yet (I'll get to it soon!) , but the whole general idea is quite intriguing~   

pb 4 life

[TIGRIS]

thank you, thank you!! no worries, take your time~ i'm still working on the skin, after all! nwn

update: i have a day off tomorrow, so here's to hoping i can finish up the skin and get started on the informational threads and such! uvu

[kalle]

yes yes yes i want this to happe n

[ten.]

this sounds super awesomeeeee

i haven't watched psycho pass yet but i think i read a couple chapters of the manga at one point? I FULLY SUPPORT THO.

[TIGRIS]

welp, sorry for the lack of updates! even though work is terribad during the holiday season, i've been spending my days off skinning rather than sleeping bc sleep is for the weak. uwu

hell, i even spent christmas day designing the boards and info center bc who wants to spend christmas with their family hahahaha (jk i have my reasons)

anyway, since i only work three days this upcoming week (thank glob), i should be able to get a lot done! nwn;

edit: since this is my first time skinning v5, i'm probs gonna need a few people to beta the skin when it's completely finished... any takers? ;u;

[amlin]

Much want. Much approve. Much need. Very strong need. Will join. Sounds like a great idea, and I can't resist. I'd beta the skin for you if you wanted as well!
