ATTN: ALL PLAYERS
As of this week, Sunday, November 20th - Saturday, November 26th, all those being held within the Peace Patrol Prison will be outfitted with power-restraining collars. (Pending they actually have powers, you know, details.) These collars do not undo the effects of powers, do not uncreate these powers, but do the following: prevent those powers from being used on other people/characters/the environment.
Powers have essentially been capped, bringing all villains to the level of "average human" as far as general capabilities. It doesn't alter mentalities, if part of their physiology requires X and Y to persist, this still holds true.
This is not a perfect solution ICly! Measures are still being researched, ICly, as to how to stop convicted villains from injuring/harming/committing acts of mental or physical violence against others. These collars stop villains from using their powers on other people. The collective group working on it (spearheaded by Felix, Eleven and Ray assisting on the tech end of things, Felix the mastermind behind magic, research, and probably also sliced bread) has been taking time technically talking to casts or doing research in order to make these collars effective per each character.
This is the pat happy reason for why it's taken so long, etc.
On another note: Sakura is still the public face for all of this. All flak for the prison break, the fact this happened right before the collars were ready, that she held the remaining trials behind closed doors and only with a judge and evidence laid out and argued for and against, that can and should be held against her or examined.
Any questions, please ask me here, in AIM @ shadhahvar, or on plurk if you have me there. Also I have an email address, which only eats emails once in a blue moon! You can find it on the contacts page.
Edit: This means all prisoners outfitted with collars are released back into the population by next Sunday. They should be monitored and tracked by the Peace Patrol, but theory and actuality are often two different beasts of burden.

As a consequence: all future villains caught and convicted by the Peace Patrol will be outfitted with a similar collar up to and until such a point as another means is worked out.

like ... "surprise, we are doing this right now and if you don't like it then we won't do it anymore" is different from "would you like this thing we made to happen," do you see what i mean? not that paradisa is particularly democratic IC, but it just strikes me as odd that a small group is taking this into their own hands without even considering what the rest of the castle may want.
+1
I think we can work this out, but it was very surprising.
no subject
But actually, I think the point is that this small group DID take it into their own hands -- ICly, it's difficult to get any kind of agreement or organization from all of the residents, or a verdict on what's to happen to the prisoners (who are in jail because of stuff they did almost three months ago, now, and two of them have dropped and left) and there's been some IC concern about letting the prisoners "rot" in jail, etc etc., hence the attempt at action from the few. (hopefully that makes sense, I just woke up sob)

like ok, here is an example:
alleria decides the best solution for villains is to cut off their legs.
so she goes and does that without asking anybody.
and then people discuss it.
do you see what i'm getting at? the collars aren't as extreme as amputation, sure, but it just seems like discussion is too little, too late for something that's already been done.
i'd like the discussion of amputation to happen before people actually lose their limbs, and for the discussion to actually have some bearing on whether or not said limb-removal will take place, instead of just being lip service because it's already pre-determined that it'll happen.
no subject
Though that said, that this comes off as an inevitability and that discussion is merely a courtesy is still problematic.
no subject
but yeah, that was my major concern.
no subject
No, I completely understand what you mean, sorry if I'm not making that clear. I just meant to explain the motivations behind MAKING the collars and why it was a smaller effort.
As far as discussing it beforehand though -- as I understand it Sakura will be posting sometime this week before they're released on Sunday, which gives characters a chance to ICly head it off and stop them from being released. I think the wording in the post here is meant to be "The IC plan is for them to be released then", but it's entirely possible for that to be stopped before it happens. Everyone here is willing to be flexible, and the idea that discussion isn't important is not at all what was meant to be implied or said.
no subject
nope, yeah, i totally get the motivations. i like that a small group was just like 'FUCK IT' to everybody's apathy and made these things! it just seemed as though they were also saying 'FUCK IT' to everybody's potential opinion about this thing too, but --
i was heavily under the impression this had very little flexibility, so that is why i was concerned: the prisoners "will be outfitted" with collars and that ish told me this was a "definite" decision, and whatnot. but wording is a tricky mistress, so as long as we'll have impact IC whether or not this is going to be a thing, i'm cool with it.
no subject
I'm not sure what the reaction from this group will be ICly if their effort is deemed something that can't be used, but I am sure that the muns are okay with whatever happens in terms of IC decisions. :D While their IC plan is to definitely use these collars, being met with IC opposition will obviously hinder/ruin that.
