What you want to see? - A tweak and/or removal of the new rule on CI and non-combatants.
Why should we add it? - I understand that there is a struggle to find balance. No one wants these “RP branches” to die out because CI constantly threaten them, but the new rule is far too restrictive on CI, and they see no advantage to it. At the moment, no one in CI (excluding sleuths and Maynard) can kill or shoot utility and we have to let them do “their RP.” In return they can’t call us out, but 9/10 times that we see utility we’ve already been called out.
Furthermore, it doesn’t make sense (RP wise) to have a janitor going around on defcon 2 cleaning things.
I understand that you guys are trying to “make it fair for everyone,” but this rule only hurts CI. From what I’ve heard, there was no consultation with CI command before this rule was implemented. (Yes Aleks is talking with them, but that’s after the rule was implemented).
What would I like to see: a reversion to the old rule, CI won’t kill you as long as you comply and don’t do stupid things ie “holding a weapon, running away, etc.” I understand that this is a semi-serious RP server, but you have to remember that CI is a group of terrorists and war criminals who believe in killing as many as it takes (including their own) to create the perfect world/society.
Let’s talk about E4, they are the most redacted unit there is. If you’re below the rank of COL and you even utter their call sign you risk termination. Why would they not be allowed to kill non-combatants.
Finally, this rule is unfair because it doesn’t work both ways. Our CI non-combatant classes aren’t protected by this rule. When we try to do research you guys interfere. Imagine this, if there was a rule that stated “MTF cannot kill R&D” I bet people would find it outrageous.
What are the advantages of having this? - Just making it more fair.
Who is it mainly for? - CI

I apologize for the rant, I’m just voicing the opinion of many members of CI. I’m prepared for the flood of downvotes I’m probably about to get lol.
