Alright boys, time to play devil's advocate.
*clears throat* I actually kind of agree. To a certain extent.
No, I don't think that Shock should lose the ability to arrest. That seems counterproductive for a battalion literally centered around detention. But the idea that Shock should be more IC is actually... good.
Think about Shock's responsibilities right now. They handle OOC arrests, IC arrests during events and encounters, VIP protection and handle everything with Base Ops now that they are in the same regiment as them. The thing is that most of the time (and I don't think I'm wrong in saying this, shock feel free to correct me), Shock is dealing with OOC things with minges on the server.
The server is supposed to be Serious RP, meaning that people are supposed to be IC all the time. Unfortunately, we live in a flawed world, and people break the rules all the time. This means for every person arrested, 1-2 shock lose their character for however many minutes it takes to deal with that minge.
With the recent addition of Bounty Hunter, this finally gives Shock the ability to actually RP arrests. God, it's been too long since people could even RP getting arrested without it being detrimental to their clean record on the server. God forbid, we actually RP with the battalion who handles arrests. It's literally the perfect opportunity to finally give some freedom to people who want to play a character who gets caught breaking the law. Hell, there could be a whole IC bailing system put in place for guilds to bail their guys out of Anaxes, for a fee of course.
I definitely think that Shock's interests should shift slightly. This could actually be really good for the battalion, and even the Operative regiment as a whole, if they just RP with the BHG.
So, tldr, Shock shouldn't lose any responsibilities because that's what their battalion is based on, but it's time to shift focus onto RP rather than OOC arrests.
