Windsong also got her first legislation passed (not using executive points), however... she had to withhold her signature on someone elses legislation, until they signed hers. Which Lars complimented her on doing... although i'm not sure you should be complimenting for that...

Because windsong now says that she's going to do that with all of her legislation now, just going to hold other peoples legislation over their head until they sign her bills.

that's actually a little "too real" as for politics goes...

i think it would be far better if people just worked together and signed each others stuff, and weren't low-key forcing them to.

The legislation she got passed was called "T.R.I.P" , it basically gives a person the ability to close off roads and setup cones/baracades etc. so that they can then fill potholes, basically a roadwork construction legislation. authorizing a certain person to run a crew.

so that's actually really cool RP-wise. W windsong. 😊

Windsong calls Baby and says that her appeal was accepted and she won her appeal (against the Wrangler's public disturbance at the skate park) so they plan to tweet that now that she's sober she can say that Riley still a B* lol

Tell us what you think in the comments below.

The more you read and watch, the worse it gets . . .

Mack does a hit and run on 2 elderly women in the street, and flees the scene and tells someone else to get them medical.

Mack changed into plain clothes, then Izzie goes on radio and asks Mack to come to the Hospital, Mack refuses to go the hospital, tells them "I'm busy and have to go off radio", and then flees up into the hills, where he then calls Love and explains the story.

Love instructs Mack that he has to SPIN the story to his advantage. Then Mack suggests that he could change his hair color to disguise himself, because he never stopped to identify himself in the scene. Love instructs him to shave his facial hair and change his hair color. Then Love schemes a way for Mack to be at the hospital casually to check up on her laying in a bed, and make it seem like he's at the hospital for a different reason than to see the 2 elderly women.

Love then volunteers to "do reconnaissance" on the elderly women and Mack agrees. Love then calls back with information. Love told the women that it sounds like they were in the middle of the street when they got ran over, and its their fault, so that they're lucky for not getting arrested. The elderly women apparently expressed they were more upset they didn't receive an apology, and then a doctor encouraged them to get a lawyer and sue. Mack exclaimed he wanted to know what doctor said that. Mack then accused them of "Playing it up", for having to use a walker and needing an arm splint.

maybe i'm just an old man, or maybe i just like things a certain way,
but whatever the case is..... i really hate "sexy saturdays", i also use air quotes, because i don't really find it attractive.

i actually think the people walking around in their underwear is low-key kind of revolting.

like i don't see how BCSO can ever say they're on the moral high ground of things, and act like they're more serious than LSPD, when they're literally policing in their lingerie and underwear.

What's even more bizarre, is that the courts don't ever say anything about it... well actually, i take that back, theres been multiple judges, i think John Law who has told people.... don't come to court unless you're dressing in proper attire, when they tried to come into court without a shirt or wearing only lingerie. So why then isn't that standard applied across the board to the entire city?

I also think people have complained about it in the past, that cops are dressed in lingerie, and then BCSO would throw it back in their face that... "you don't tell her how to dress... SHE'S A WOMAN. YOU DON'T DO THAT" lol and then those people just get group shamed into just accepting it.

i just want cops to be cops. doctors to be doctors. lawyers to be lawyers. judges to be judges. (And to dress like it)

i don't want a "Tac Med" or "Tac law", a lawyer with a shotgun, or a doctor with a shotgun.
likewise... i also don't want a cop that looks like a stripper.

casual friday is one thing, where you're just wearing jeans. and even that should be a privilege, but this is just way too far.... and i just wish there were more people who took a stand on this sort of thing.

i don't want to see Mack in his underwear, i don't want to see Charlotte in their underwear, and i most certainly do not want to see Gordon in his underwear. lol or anyone for that matter.

It's not enough that Wrangler put corruption charges on Chalk for the actions of his officers.

It's not enough that Wrangler then snaked Chalk and trash talked him to Windsong about the tribunal, and she halfass investigated and "Verfied all of Wranglers Claims"

It's also not enough that BCSO then started slandering the tribunal, saying they said offensive words that only proper Australians should probably be saying. Granted that's not on Wrangler, but at this point, its not out of his character either.

The Civil lawsuit minimums were increased to crazy amounts (OOC by Penta) to $750k for rights violations. Penta cited the reason why... was that so people would take the rights violations more seriously. (ie. no more LSPD whimsy cops for you!)

Ok thats great but... then how does this affect BCSO? Civil lawsuits gets paid from the state, Windsong can't affect BCSO in any way, and it was already ruled by (corrupt biased 1-sided) Lars that Windsong can't withhold budget payments to an org, so she is obligated to pay them a budget. Even if Windsong did decide to low-ball BCSO with a low budget amount, by the time that Windsong bleeded BCSO of funds, she would be out of office.

Throughout the entire day, people have been telling Penta/Wrangler about the giant L's Chalk has been handed, and he' just plays it off so casually like "Welp.... that's how it goes, ya know.... ya know, that's how it goes.... ya fool around and you find out <laughter>"

To add insult to injury Wrangler tells Hank, in so many words he just insinuated Chalk was a dummy, and the only thing he's good for is sticking your hand up him and control him like a puppet. That Silas was really the brains behind Chalk.

So not only is it not enough for Penta/Wrangler to kick Chalk to the curb, he then has to make sure that Chalk isn't even considered....... not for the Assistant Chief position.... but for a *Captain* position. because apparently even that .... is too good for Chalk.

Wrangler told Hank that you can't even make Chalk a Captain for a shift, because its more likely that the people under Chalk command will just walk off the job one day with Chalk.

Wrangler has been going around telling people about how he thinks Hank just really wants to do what is best for the department....... only I've just got one question..... "WHO THE F- IS HANK????" lol Earlier today, most of LSPD have been saying that they have only seen hank one time, and that they have rarely ever see him around, and this........ is LSPD, the people who are supposed to WORK WITH HIM. So how the hell does Wrangler know what hank even thinks about the LSPD, when everyone else has barely even seen him??? I probably know more about some random person waiting in line at Costco, than Wrangler knows about Hank. Maybe they did some interview weeks ago, but i find it hard to believe people learned anything more about Hank, other than what coffee he likes to drink and where he gets his breadsticks.

People literally don't feel like playing LSPD anymore, because they feel like "What's the point?", granted that is thrive, s0upes, Fu, fricken-red, but none of these people are outright going to tell Penta to his face exactly how they really feel, and even when they do... They just get handwaved away by Penta because "Well you insulted Riley Reads, IN A CIRCLE", like that somehow even has weight? Do you know how many times all of the viewers have seen Wrangler talk in a circle about some person they were pushing charges on? or how many times BCSO did circle talks about "Coster bad" or "Chalk bad" or "Silas bad", everyone and their dog talks in circles, about each other, the fact that it was about Riley, some random ass BCSO cop. WHOOOOO CARES, it could have been about Jorkin for all that its worth.

I think someone tells Penta that they're talking about Riley, and then he goes to s0upes stream and sees them indeed, talking about Riley, but who cares? LSPD talk about everything under the sun. This is literally what they do, is just discuss things in their office. but Penta just tunes in for 5 minutes, and its like the absence of object persistence, means they must do this the entire time they're on duty. (Which they don't)

I was actually watching s0upes chat one day, and Penta even accused s0upes of doing something on stream, but Penta said in Twitch chat, that he wasn't actually sure, because the stream was muted. lol like if i did that..... and just came up with conclusions based on a muted stream, and i wasn't actually listening to what was going on... but making accusatory remarks... people would skin me alive. lol

I think its fantastic to see streamers in other peoples communities, and its fun to talk and chat with them (sometimes), but that's something that should really have rules set for.... because what happened in s0upes chat, was completely unacceptable. it doesn't matter if you're the queen of england or the pope, or the server owner. the fact that mods had to actually step in to ban penta, and they were legitimate bans, really says something.

People have been outright discouraged to play on the server, and Penta just handwaves it away as... "oh well, easy come easy go", "i never see any names, so it must not happen"
like Sarge, the guy was pouring his heart out of how bad he felt.... and Penta just literally laughed at him and told him in RP, "GOOD. LEAVE". People even told Penta in his Twitch chat that he was OOC upset, and Penta just said "Good!", The next day, i kind of half expected Penta to kind of reverse on that, once he heard how bad Sarge felt. but Penta said he didn't even watch Sarge's clip, and kept on with the callous attitude of "Good. I hope i never see that guy again."

The argument from Penta today was "Well thrive/s0upes haven't come to me with any of this, so it must not be that big of a deal."

Then earlier today, Wrangler/Penta learned about Leo/Bowmen's bad shoot, and someone in chat asked him if it was on drinking night, Penta said "Was it on drinking night?? no i dont think so. nope." As if its ONLY okay for everyone to do shenanigans, as long as Wrangler has endorsed it. As far as i can tell, nobody got charged for any of the shenanigans that happened on drinking night.

The people who actually avoided drinking night.... like Chalk/Silas, got tossed to the curb, because they apparently didn't enforce the "high standards" the Governor expects of the Police Departments.

Windsong also compared LSPD to... "Being a department of children that have no supervision" Even though that Actually describes the BCSO department who gets away with murder. They basically look like strippers wearing only a police vest and a gun. (No professionalism), and then endorsed a drinking night where cops were very intoxicated on duty and were participating in actual mayhem where they shocked each other with tazers and passed their suspects around like a ball.

I can't say that LSPD didn't participate, because Wrangler clearly encouraged them to, but it doesn't make it right.

BCSO is no longer deserving of the "serious" department title.
Nor do i think they are a whimsy department either. But let's just say... the title I AM thinking of BCSO, I don't want to say. lol

Windsong also tells Hank that for his budget he can have $1 million which as far as i can tell it's a lot more than Chalk has ever been given. Which brings us to another thought that... from day 1, BCSO has been treated like a spoiled child, getting millions per week by the past Governor, meanwhile shortchanging the LSPD. So it's really no big surprise that BCSO has had a floating budget of $3 million and LSPD limps along with a trivial budget.

After slandering Chalk's good name to Hank, Hank then offers Leo Escabar and his other officer up on a silver platter for Wrangler to arrest.

Meanwhile.... it is discovered that,
Gordon also had a warrant out for his arrest, put on him on behalf of judge Luna, because per usual, he wilded out in her court room and or disrespected her court. However...... CLIQUE BCSO doesn't just arrest officers, and BCSO CLIQUE DOJ FRIEND(Lars) doesn't enforce the law... he just invited a bunch of people informally into his courtroom and discussed what happened, actually even finding Gordon at fault, but doesn't enforce Gordon being arrested... because heaven forbid anyone in BCSO actually sees any consequences (like being arrested and sent to jail), Lars just gave Gordon some BS community service, (tells him to go to bed without any supper /s) and just apologize to some people.

and now... Wrangler has pretty much become sexually involved with the brand new (Penta approved) Fly-in DOJ judge... Mary Burger. So that's just a lovely little case of instant Wrangler bias that will be obnoxious to watch.

Everything in the city is just so stacked and geared to the MASSIVE CLIQUE called BCSO, that as a viewer, it feels painful to watch, knowing that everything is just handed to Wrangler on a silver platter, and he's just free to do whatever he wants (ie. PD drinking night!!!) and literally receives ZERO consequences. While everyone else around him, suffer the most extreme consequences. When BCSO screws up, they get all the leeway in the world, when LSPD screws up, they get told to eat the sh!t sandwich and like it.

If I have come across as a little toxic, i truly apologize, but this is what I have become, from watching Wrangler. Wrangler follows the pretense of being on this moral legal high ground, but at the end of the day, after all of the dust has settled... Wrangler is a jerk.
(He is not good. He is a bad man. a very bad man)

TLDR:
I AM ANGER @ U Wrangler

Windsong coming off of the heels of hearing about the Ava (disaster) Tribunal at the skatepark, talked to Bowmen yesterday and asked him who he would like to see be Chief of Police. Bowmen suggested "Hank Cliff", to which Governor Windsong said "oh. i was thinking Hank too!"

Fast forward to today, Windsong calls Hank to her office and in some chit chat, Windsong asks Hank what he knew of the Ava matter, to which Hank said that he only had 2nd hand information, but didn't say any of it, and his only commentary on it, was that he expressed to the LSPD command that whatever they do here, they need to make sure they are sticking to the same standards between police officers. (ie. if you give sequioa a chance, you need to give ava a chance)

Windsong continues that she received a text message earlier this morning, and it was a video that showed some LSPD deputies attacking and shooting someone, and i believe its a video where there was some crossfire where Bowmen shot Leo Escobar, and then Leo shot Bowmen (intentionally, but suggested it was crossfire)

Windsong has taken this video as being a reflection of Chalk's inability to hold his officers responsible, even though Chalk is not aware of these matters.

Windsong has also not reached out to Chalk to talk to him. Windsong has told Hank that she is leaning towards choosing him as Chief of Police, and when asked if Hank was available for it, Hank said "Well i'm not really doing anything else." , and Windsong suggested they both sleep on it, and come back to this issue tomorrow.

EDIT: *UPDATE*

Hank called Windsong back and said that he had a few questions, one was,
How does he get an Assitant Chief, and Windsong said that she won't micromanage it, but that he would pick who his asst. chief is.

His second question was What would happen if he woke up on a Tuesday and decided all of a sudden that he didn't want the job.

Windsong basically told him that she wants him to tell her that he can't handle it, and then they'll go from there, but also expressed that Gary has his deputy warden taking charge, so i assume she was suggesting that whoever Hank made his assistant would just take over.

Windsong says that she hasn't had a chance to talk to Chalk/Silas but says that there isn't much that Chalk/Silas can say that will change her mind. That she'll wake up early to talk to them tomorrow, but that Hank will hear from them in the next few days.

Windsong says she has peace of mind now.

Earlier today i got into a really heated discussion about (IA) Internal Affairs, and about how IA can never work, because its never worked in the past. I really think thats a bad mentality to have, i think that it CAN work, that it just needs the right people and rules to make it work.

So i sincerely believe IA is not only possible, but is very necessary in the current scenario, where both PD's are trying to attack each other legally, and trying to police each other.

I also think that, the only reason why IA's haven't worked in the past, is that the IA's have always been "mixed" into the police force, which just led to people hating the IA until they just end up quitting.

I also think a reason for why IA's haven't worked in the past, is that people went into it, with the mentality of "I hate this. It will never work" , and then they helped to make that a reality.

It's like what Wrangler has been saying about LSPD "Of course they don't want to change their boss, because they just let them do whatever they want."

and i think that logic then extends to IA, of course all of the cops hate IA, because they're literally trying to investigate the cops, and the cops don't want that added oversight. I also think the IA shouldn't be operating like how Wrangler was... they should thoroughly investigate something, and then press charges where it was necessary, and should never be pressured into pressing cases. (ie. not weaponizing the IA)

It will also help unite the LSPD and BCSO, because this third department could turn into a "common enemy" for them to resist. However, I believe they should try to work together, and not try to legally attack the IA, so there has to be some protections for IA.

Anyways, i think its a polarizing topic , worthy of discussion.

I think the reason why people get upset and are so passionate about the things Penta does, and passionately post about the ChaseRP server, is because people genuinely care about Penta and the roleplay.

So today, lets take a moment, to talk about the positive things.

Also note... there are so many new things coming down the ChaseRP pipeline, some awesome new features, that were highlighted in the meeting.

Supposedly a dev told Penta to stop leaking new features, because they claim that it sets expectations too high, but I don't think that's happened at all. There really are no expectations, and its good to talk about upcoming features, to help get the word out about what's coming. People will be excited and interested for it, so its really just promoting the server. People aren't going to be "Let down" when a new feature isn't exactly how it was advertised. So it's really not a big deal at all. I for one am really excited about whats to come... and also, there shouldn't be such a focus on mechanics either... people should remember, the focus is on the Roleplay, you can roleplay with very little, the mechanics are just "Nice to have" things, and i think people really put too much emphases on the mechanics.

People may come for mechanics, but the true roleplayers, will stay for the roleplay.
Have a great Thursday! 💖
