Aesthetic Judgment requesting for legal status

[Artaud]

According to the wikipage the DHPD is dedicated primarily to roleplaying and staying human. These are also values held sacred by the group in whose name I am approaching you, The Aesthetic Judgment.

On the first glimpse at us people often yell out "PKers!!!" and open fire without any further thinking. However it seems to us that some of you are capable of seeing further than that.

Yes, the Aesthetic Judgment has been categorised as a pker-group, but what are we really talking about when we speak of player killing? If we fancy to call this existence a game and life a stage on which we play, shouldn't we consider the living dead as players too? Our point of view is that as long as there is a role which is being played (=one's personality), we can talk of player killing. But those that we gun down (the non-descripts) have none, and thus can not be considered as players either.

We are there to keep our neighbourhood as human as possible. We love to see the survivors doing their best to continue enjoying life, even in the midst of war and death. That's what we support by serving coffee, discussing all matters of things and broadcasting conversations about these issues. Facelesness instead is not human at all, and thus not tolerated by our members.

Lately the Aesthetic Judgment has had enough of the mindless aggression of some of the residents of East Boundwood, and chosen to settle elsewhere. Our tactic in choosing the spot for our new HQ this time is this: We're trying to find a strong enough local group which maintains order in a suburb to ally with.

Please spend a moment thinking about the matter before you let the hammer of judgment fall. Would you allow Aesthetic Judgment to have our HQ in your neighbourhood?

On behalf of A.J.,
Yours sincerely,
Artaud

This is a pre-recorded message.

Following a high volume of recent trolling activity the DHPD no longer responds in person to anonymous reports or requests. Please provide us with a point of contact (either an email, account on this forum where we can contact you, or an account on another forum).

We also do not respond to reports or requests from characters or groups with offensively racist, sexist, homophobic (or other -ist) language in their character, forum or Wiki names, profiles, or other publicly available descriptions. Please remove any such offensive language before attempting to contact us further.

If you have been killed, threatened, or otherwise harassed by someone claiming to be a DHPD member then please provide us with a screenshot and profile. We maintain a list of DHPD impersonators on the Urban Dead Wiki as part of our Most Wanted list which it may be profitable to check first. The DHPD has no interest in protecting those on its Most Wanted list. Your screenshot and profile links should ideally be PM'd to the following people: purplecat, sanpedro, goldstar, codeist

If you wish to appeal a warrant against you then please PM the following people: purplecat, codeist

If you wish to warn or threaten us about an imminent attack then we thank you. However please be aware that we operate in a dangerous area of town against a large and organised Zombie group. Unless the attack looks to be from a group of players of similar or greater size and organisation then we are unlikely to change our operations in any way as a result of your warning or threat. That said, all information is useful, and any evidence you may have about such a group, in terms of profiles of group members, or forums coordinating their activity should be sent to: purplecat, sanpedro, goldstar

If you wish to make demands that members of the DHPD meet you in a secret location, ritually disembowel themselves, cease all activity or similar then we recommend you do so in a humorous fashion. If you, in all seriousness, feel that DHPD activity is ruining your life or making you fear for it, then we'd like to suggest you step back from the Urban Dead game for a bit and get things into perspective.

All further communication on this subject should be taken to PM with purplecat. All further posts in this thread will be removed.

sure, you can contact me at:

Although I do think the topic is worth discussing in public, too.

Thanks! I've no objection to talking in public, we just like some kind of identity trail, given most of our trolls are impersonating someone.

Coffee is good, we also have donuts.

We have a legal system, you can find on the wiki. There are some fine details but in principle as long as you don't kill survivors in Dunell Hills or its immediate surrounding suburbs then we have no problem with you. If your members do kill people then they are likely to find themselves warranted and if we have reason to suppose you are deliberately targetting us then you are likely to find yourselves declared a terrorist group. In essence we won't be making any exceptions for you, we'll judge you on how you behave and not on your reputation.

[Purple Cat]

And somehow my last paragraph went missing...

I'm not sure I'd describe the DHPD's current role as mainting order in a suburb. It would be more truthful to say we spend our time keeping the Dead occupied in Dunell Hills which allows the suburbs around it to maintain some semblance of order.

[Artaud]

ok.

Since we do eliminate non-descript survivors, and you're not willing to make an exception with us, it's better we don't come bothering you.

Thanks anyway.
