So if you are up for testing, feel free to rent for G$1 the combat hover cars. You can go in couple – shoot at other cars – you can be shot from pedestrians and you can collide with them and damage their meters. Your passenger can shoot at other taxi. You can damage other bikes. If you lose, your car will blow up in an explosion and you will be ejected with no damage. Anyway, if you find bugs, please let me know.
Thank you!

If your criminal record is quite long and you are a repetitive felon, you may be interested to know that the Metropol bots are now programmed *NOT* to come after you for the next 24 hours after your latest trial.
And if you need training on how to defeat a bot, you may want the training bot at the Skyway Arena.

If you are interested in any RP store in Nomos , please contact Beast Theas and he will help you out 😉

If you own a store and you sell food, drinks or drugs on the counter, you will be able to set your own prices. Click on the item and pick “SET PRICE”.
By default the prices are reasonable (e.g. 10G$)
Minimum Price is 0G$. Max Price is 4 times what we set as default price.

So food and drinks will be soon changed.
If it is produced by the business, then it has a limited availability (depending on the amount of employees) and cheap prices. Also the profit goes entirely to the business (cash till). The business owners can refill from the pantry once a day to restock the food availability.
If the food is on street, then it has an unlimited availability, but very expensive. Script is under testing. Please let me know if you find issue.

If you own a crowbar, feel free to break in to the cars and steal what is inside.
There are cars in both Nomos and Nomos 2. Once you get stolen goods, take them to the Pawn Shop and sell them there.
Good luck …
Oh … watch out for Metropol Cops!

From now on, the Metropol Bots will come after you *ONLY* if you committed actual crimes (and you weren’t persecuted yet for them). So if you can have low ethos from drinking, gambling and sex, but unless you commit a crime, you are unlikely to go to jail 😉

There are still a few changes:

a) if you get caught by the Metropol and you go to trial, the amount you will have to pay is proportional to the amount of money you stole or damage (minus the discount that the lawyer will be able to provide for you).

b) If you go to trial with a lawyer, besides getting a discount up to 100%, you can have a quick arraignment with the judge. Without a lawyer, your trial will be scheduled in 24 hours

c) Going to trial will clear up the list of your open crimes, and you cannot be persecuted for the same crimes twice.

d) If you believe that you paid for your crime, and you are still on the board of the Most Wanted Board, please contact the Chief Enforcer and he will be able to help you out (he can close your open cases).

e) If you are a victim or a witness of a city crime, please submit crime reports to the Metropol. There is a computer at the Metropol Frontdesk . You only need to reply to a few questions, and the Metropol will start an investigation. Please limit to IC crimes.

If you are victim of a crime, please report it at the Knight HQ (use the report book outside the Knight camp) for KOS, or Metropol for Nomos.
Please use it strictly to IC crimes. Thank you 🙂

Meditek and Psychotek have been silent for a while now as many of you will have noticed.
This is due to the fact that they are quite big problems to solve and we have been busy with other things.
However, we are now actively looking for People who are interested in running either of these two branches of the Metrotek Corporation.
Being linked to 2 of the 3 main “scores” in the Game Meter, Mental health and Physical health, they are very important to the correct functioning of the game, the third element is Ethos, looked after by Metropol.
We therefore need good leaders for each branch, people who are less interested in their own personal RP goals and more  into organising and overseeing the other players who enter the group.
We do not want Clan leaders who wish to build up a network of friends, or people who get so in involved in RP they forget to play the game.
As the groups are closed application only, you would be responsible for dealing with the applications in a fair and unbiased way. But at the same time making sure the applicants are the type of players for the position. We need people who know the game well and are regular players with plenty of time to spare to put in to building up these essential groups.
You would be in charge of running and organising RP within the Bedlam complex, and allocating roles to other players in the group
Being able to  communicate with us is essential.
Being able to communicate with all other branch leaders of Metrotek is also essential.
If you want to take on Meditek you should at least have some good experience of Medical RP.
If you want to take on Psychotek you should have some good experience of Psychological/Mental hospital RP.
These branches of the company are not supposed to be working for Christian aid or such like, so the first priority of  the Medics is not a love of humanity and healing. Rather we want people who are dedicated to the corporation, which is far more concerned with making money by Medical and psychical Research, by any means necessary, however un ethical the methods used might seem.
All MetroTek branches are predator groups, we feel this has not been stressed enough, to the detriment of the correct functioning of the game. So you will need to have a Predator Mentality to function well in the position.
Of course, the usual day to day healing and counseling goes on within these institutions, but beneath all this people go missing, or at least parts of them, after supposedly routine operations.
People go insane, when they just checked in for some headache pills etc etc.
So Your character needs to be something akin to a highly intelligent Psychopath.
Check out the portrait of the asylums founder, Dr Phobos Paine, in the Asylum head office for ideas on mental state needed.
If this kind of slightly twisted RP is not your cup of tea then the job is possibly not for you.
Meditek, Psychotek and Metropol are Rp Groups which are based to a high degree on subordination to superiors. If you cannot follow orders or are disruptive in hierarchical systems then these groups are probably not for you. You would be a tool of the Corporation, A very important tool. But you are also protected by the Corporation. Which in Nomos is the Law.
If you are interested please send a note to Baal.

Big Apologies to anyone who has been trying to sign up for these groups in the past few weeks, we hope to have them functioning well again very soon.

Club Owner rules and Responsibility

1. First week of ownership of the venue the club owner must hold a event. This event must be something pertaining IC. “G” or any other prize given out for the event will be sole responsibility of the owner
2. Club owner must hire on staff to help run the club, IC taking on members and settling that they will be working at your venue.
3. Club Owner must NOT use the club in any way as a home base exclusively for there race or clan, Venues are open to every single person in Nomos. Anyone caught violating this rule by discouraging players not of their own Race or clan will have ownership removed.
4.Anyone not meeting the quota of events will be sent a reminder, those that continue to leave the club vacant will be removed from Ownership. NO Refunds.
5. All members not wearing a Nomos meter will have to wear a OOC tag set by Nomos and will not interrupt any RP.
6. Just because it is a club you will still have to follow Nomos Rules, No Gesture spamming of any sort, that goes for sound gestures as well.
7. OOC Events at some venues may be permitted, but must be discussed and agreed upon beforehand with the Nomos Club Mentor.

Ownership of any club is to be used as a RP tool. Owning a business takes dedication and commitment along with having fun. Renting it out just to look cool and not do anything will get you removed quickly.

All notecards should be sent to Beast Theas to be processed and if you are selected to rent out any of the venues you will be contacted.
Make sure your SL Name, date, and the place you are looking to rent is on the notecard title
EXAMPLE: Beast Theas,7/01/10, Slaughter Zone rental

We have decided to appoint Beast Theas as Club Mentor in Nomos.
The Club Mentor will be responsible for the allocation and overseeing of all club type Venues in Nomos.
All applications for Club ownership should now be sent to him.
Anyone recently trying to rent a club by contacting Baal will no doubt much appreciate this change.
If you have applied for a club in the past week or so and had no reply, and you see that club is still for rent, then please re send your application to Beast.
All new and currant club owners will be given a set of rules to which they should conform in order to keep their club.
The Club Mentor is NOT responsible for other businesses in Nomos only clubs from the list below:
Alien
Club Industry
Club Pecos
Club Primal
Mars Bar
Slaughter Zone
The Pit
Titty Twister
Royal Hotel Bar
Skyway Arena
Fight Club.
Naked Lunch Bar

In SGS Sims a Mentors judgement on RP situations, technical issues or any other problems that disturb the harmony of the SIM is to be regarded as final at the time of issue.
Even if you disagree with the decision, you should still comply with it immediately, and do whatever you have been asked to do, or not to do.
After you have done this, and if you still wish to complain about the decision, you may consult another Mentor.
If that Mentor can see any reason to uphold the complaint they will consult with the other Mentor and discuss the problem further.
Only in this way can we get reasonably fast final decisions on otherwise infinite arguments.
Arguments take up precious RP time.
In the time it takes you to argue your case over and over you could have already been involved in a much more interesting RP situation.
Anyone who continuously ignores, argues, mutes, attacks with a weapon or verbally abuses a Mentor who is specifically in Mentor mode, will be reported to Baal and Kora and may be banned.

If you run a RP store at Nomos, beside posting your own posters at the display boards around the city, you can also submit the event or hiring info directly to the newspaper including a picture – for immediate publishing. When you use the poster board, it will give you all info on how to do it. Click on ‘Event’ when you see the Menu. If you need more info, please IM Kora Zenovka. If you have RP stories and articles, they should still go through Street Life drop-boxes for approval. Thank you.

If you are around at Nomos this evening, can you please find a partner then rent a bike at the Titty Twister (the one marked BETA TESTING). The bikes have 100% fuel. They lose fuel when they are being shot from the street and from other bikes. The 2nd passenger on the bike is the one shooting from mouselook. This is a first Beta – so if you find someone to test with, please report issues to me – I am sure that there will be 🙂 Thank you.

If you wish to open a store at the street-level, either the full store or just a wall, then we have stores available for rent prices between 202L$ and 592L$, 10–30prims.
Landmark attached here.

((Scripts all updated))
MetroMech are Robots employed by any division of MetroTek (Metropol, MediTek, PshychoTek, GenoTek and MetroGen) – not just MetroPol.
To become part of the MetroMech, you must apply to any branch of the MetroTek and get approved.
Once you are part of the MetroMech, you may switch division, without further applications. However, you may get fired by any Head of the above companies for just cause or willful misconduct, etc.

If you submitted an application to MediTek or Metropol and you didn’t receive a reply, it is possible that there was a technical issue – aehm- so please send it again.
If you are waiting for Psychotek, they will start to accept application soon, because the company is changing ownership.
Thank you!

Since an exploit of the code (sort of documented bug) players were able to create mixed-race clans anyway, we made it official, and now you can too.

Just a word of advice. When you have a mixed-race clan, your clan as a whole may not be welcomed in the race/group HQs (which is safezone just for one race).

Example KoS – if you are Undead and you belong to a Bedouin clan, do not expect a warm welcome if you go to the Bedu camp. You will likely to be attacked.

If you create a mixed-race clan, please just make it meaninful for roleplay.

Also if your group is restricted (such as Metropol), add a password to avoid intruder to join your clan. Or just a password anyway – to be safe. If you get intruders in your clan and you want to kick them out, click on “PROFILE” on the web, then click on the CLAN edit page and there is a simple tool to kick people off from your clan.

Meditek, Psychotek and the Hospital and Asylum have been moved to the Bedlam Health center in Nomos 2.
You will now need to go there for both Medical and Mental health care if your scores is below 30%.
You may of course go there any time you wish for RP regardless of your meter.
You will find Auto admittance Machines on the Reception desks of Meditek and Psychotek.

————- MediTek ————-

Click on the Auto admit machine and you will be TPed to the intensive care room.
You will now have the Legend “Detainee of Meditek” in your meter.

A note will be sent out in the HUD to inform any Medical staff that you are there and seek medical attention.

If you do not want help from a Medic then you can follow the usual process of laying on the bed and receiving the band which you wear for 15 minutes until healed.
When healed (physical > 40%) you should go back to the reception desk and Click on the Auto-Release form on the desk. You will now no longer be detained by Meditek.
Of course you don’t need to stay in the Bedlam waiting to heal. If you wish , you can leave before you are completely healed, while you are still a patient of MediTek and come back when you are healed just to release yourself.

If you get assisted by a trained Medic, you will be able to roleplay the medical process out, you may be taken to the Ward for a checkup and surgery and other procedures. After you are RP assessed to be fit enough to leave, the Medic will use the release form in Ward 1 to let you go.

Cost and Time of procedures:
– Do-It-Yourself ICU/bracelet: 40G$ / 40 physical health points / 15 minutes
– RP Process with a MediTek: 20G$ / 90 physical health points / immediate as soon as you are considered fit by the doctor

Also Physicians occasionally gain extra-bonuses of 30G$ for each patient treatment.

Being treated by a Physician is a win-win 🙂

———– Psychotek————

Click on the Auto admit machine and you will be TPed to a padded cell.
You will now have the Legend “Detaineed of Psychotek” in your meter.

A note will be sent out in the HUD to inform Psychotek staff that you are there and seek Psychological assistance.

If you do not wish to RP the process then you try the door which will open when you are deemed safe enough to leave the cell. You will then need to go lay on the Brain scanner for a minute to get an assessment of your mental state.
If you are deemed mental healthy then you may take the lift up and go back to the Reception, and click on the Auto-Release form on the desk..

If you are found to need further attention then you will have a choice of Robotic surgery or treatment from a trained Psychologist.

One of the next rooms have a Surgery machine. Just lie down while the machine will perform a surgery.

If you are assisted by PsychoTek staff, you will roleplay the psychologist process out.
The Psychotek staff will then release you as soon you are found mentally fit.

Cost and Time of Procedures:
– Brain Scanner: 35G$ / 40 mental points / immediate – it charges you only if you don’t require further treatment
– Robotic Surgery: 100G$ /  60 mental points / immediate – it charges you after surgery
– RP Process with PsychoTek: 50G$ / 70 mental points / immediate

Also PhychoTek occasionally gain extra bonuses of 40G$ for each patient treatment.

Again, being treated by a PsychoTek is a win-win.
