Police system for mafia's

[Pandalink]

I refuse to change my name given that the last time I did somebody stole my nick and logged off, the little git.
So yea, I never change my name for different roles. I'm both Araatus Kumicho and ARPD Senior Officer. Even though I've been in ARPD just over 21 months I'm still considerably more loyal to my own group than the ARPD, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't want to hear ARPD's secrets, because that way no matter what I did I'd be betraying either my allies by not helping them or the ARPD by leaking it. Frankly, I'd rather not know them in the first place.

This has been recently discussed on the ARPD forums as well.
The main [IC and OOC] reasons behind it are actually quite simple:
1. Certain ranking officers should be devoted to their law enforcement job and should not have the time to roleplay a criminal.
and
2. Certain ranking officers should not be participating in criminal activities when they are law enforcement officers that know WAY better than to ever do such a thing.

As for changing your name, I agree, and this NEEDS to be set. RON and Ronnel have already said that changing your name has nothing to do with the roleplaying name. Your username is purely for account purposes only, not for roleplay purposes. You can even double-check this in the "/changename will be removed" topic here on the forums. The rule needs to be set that you SHOULDN'T change your ACCOUNT name between characters, but that you SHOULD change your IN-CHARACTER name that you are roleplaying with when going between the two factions. This solves the issue and removes /changename from the argument. I'm pretty sure, considering that I can even quote the topic it came from, that RON and Ronnel would easily agree to setting such a rule on ALL servers.

For those who will be unhappy and complaining "this is not RP then'... We have an MTA VC server without changing nicks... And people roleplay and know each other good... Nick is an option of player registration and not an option of roleplay...
