Civilian Roleplay

[Qas]

Description of the idea:
This has probably been discussed before somewhere on the forums, the staff channels and in UA ones, but it’s worth bringing up again as both a suggestion and a discussion thread. Add and discuss with us a proper civilian/gang/mafia/resistance system. The world of The Man in the High Castle is built around those factions. Right now, the server mainly focuses on government RP and internal power struggles, but the new map has a lot of locations that naturally fit civilian and criminal roleplay.

Why should this be added?:
The current 1942RP system and the old map don’t really support strong civilian RP. With the new map, especially if most of Southside’s buildings stay, the server will naturally split between government and civilian roleplay. Civilian life can feed into gangs, organized crime, black markets, and resistance movements. That adds depth, longterm conflict, and natural storylines instead of everything revolving around state factions. Ignoring that side of the map would waste its potential.

What negatives could this have?:
It could divide the playerbase if not handled properly. Poorly managed criminal or resistance systems might turn into random crime/slop factions instead of meaningful RP. It would also require rule adjustments and possibly new mechanics to support it properly.

Additional information:
If the new map is being built with Southside’s layout in mind, then this should be planned alongside it. Leaving civilian RP underdeveloped on a map that's core was designed for it would hurt the server long term. It needs proper attention before release. Looking into how our sister MafiaRP server does their civilian and criminal RP would probably be a good area to start in, from systems, rules and what not.
