Lucius.D Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Blaine County Volunteer Militia ===OVERVIEW=== The Blaine County Volunteer Militia is a civilian run and operated public defence operation. Its goals are the protection, security, defense, education, and training of the hard working populace of Blaine county. The BCVM is a defensive and reactionary force of volunteers that work as a community. They work to counteract the aggression and threat of criminal elements that threaten the lives and property of Blaine County Residents. ===BEGINNINGS=== As occurrences of theft, assault and even murder continued to rise in the Blaine County working community, frustrations and tensions rose among the civilian populace. The SD was a welcomed addition to the County, however often times they were overwhelmed with calls, or occupied too far from an incident to react effectively. After a time, select civilians took it upon themselves to begin a civilian defence force with the aim of training and protecting their fellow County members from harm and loss when no one else could. Lacking funding or high level connections, the BCVM has slowly worked its way uphill as it seeks members, donations and support. ===VALUES=== The blaine County Volunteer Militia force is about Blaine County protecting Blaine county. It is about keeping the hard work in the hands of the hard working, and protecting those who only wish to work their 40 and collect their paychecks. Community - The BCVM is first and foremost about supporting the townships and surrounding areas of Blaine County. Local Businesses, homeowners, families and tourists, the BCVM helps where it can. Authority - The BCVM understands the limits of governmental authority, and the restrictions of the local sheriffs and police force, but it fully recognises their right and ability to legislate, execute, and judiciate the rules, codes, and laws of the greater Los Santos county. As such the BCVM strives to follow the letter and intent of the law and assist and obey the rightful legal authorities. Honesty - The BCVM operate at the grace of the law, and the trust of the people. Being open and honest with the people of Blaine County help build their trust in us and allow us to help them. Our goals are simple and well known, and our actions are visible and verifiable. We will not lie about threats or dangers that we are aware of. Professionalism - The BCVM aims to hold itself to a moderate level of professionalism inorder to carry out its goals effectively. While there is no desire for rigid adherence to some codec or doctrine, an air of competence and confidence help hold the BCVM in high regard amongst the populace of Blaine County. Ethics - BCVM members aim to hold themselves to good morals and ethics. While the fine details are matters of century old debates, the overall intent of a members choices and actions should reflect a desire for the betterment of the county and its residents. ===CURRENT OPERATIONS=== Defense and escort of vulnerable civilian assets. Search and rescue assistance of the vast Blaine County Wilderness Training and Education of modes and methods of safe operations of firearms and when to use them. Community support and service, seeking to bolster and maintain the small and local businesses in the Blaine County residential, economic, and industrial circles. ===RANKS=== Captain- Head of the County Chapter Lieutenant - Regional Leader Sergeant - Veteran Member Private - New Full member Recruit - Prospective Recruit ===APPEARANCE=== The BCVM does not have any type of /gang color/ that they sport, but as they tend to operate in the wilderness of Blaine County, are simply encouraged to wear tough and reliable clothing suited to working outdoors. Earthen tones, work boots and the splash of some camouflage patterns appropriate to the terrain are encouraged, but not required. The BCVM has a similar attitude towards suggested vehicles. The Volunteer aspect means most people will own a car that suits their personal style and tastes, and the BCVM does not place any requirements on what vehicle you drive, but simply suggests investing in something that can handle off road activity, as well as a few gunshots. Utility and versatility are always recommended if searching for a vehicle to patrol in as a BCVM member. Color wise, simple earthy tones are again suggested, but nothing is outright banned. ===PLACES OF ACTIVITY=== Farmsteads Hunting Grounds Mines Sandy Shores Paleto Bay North Chumash Grape seed Harmony Various Blaine County Wilderness locations. ===RULES=== -Activity is required but not demanded. 2 or 3 shifts a week on watch as a member of the BCVM is requested, and extended leaves of absence should be reported. An inactive roster helps noone. -All actions within the bounds of the law. BCVM is a law abiding, legal operation that relies on its good standing in the eyes of the authority as well as the civilian populace it protects. -Actions for Protection and Defense of life and property, ONLY. The BCVM is a Defensive and Reactionary force only. It does not take active steps to seek out and target those it suspects of criminal persuasion and only seeks to protect and secure the safety of civilians and their hard work. -Obey all Law enforcement - Legal Orders given by an officer of the law should be followed to their full extent. No member of the BCVM is above the law, and no matter your opinion on the Departments, you will follow their commands. ===RECRUITMENT=== Any and all interested in the protection and betterment of the Blaine County area are welcome to contact an officer of the BCVM.

Lucius.D Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Of course! Apologies for the late response, this week has been a crazy confluence of events, and I finally had a chance to take to these hobbies. All recruitment is done in game, usually through word of mouth, otherwise cell phone communications to arrange meetings. While not always easy, as some members live several hours ahead or behind, and my time available to get ingame can be even more limited, I try my best to follow all server rules and guidelines. I have removed the recruitment contact options and have instead linked an IC post that I hope isn't in poor taste. My goal in this community is to provide and promote Roleplay, to facilitate a niche that people will enjoy being a part of, and enjoy being around.

Lucius.D Posted September 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) While I apologise I don't have the literature degree some here have in writing updates, I will post for the sake of activity and visibility. BCVM has been hard at work this past month working to establish resources and property to help facilitate our continued activity in the County. We don't have million dollar patrons, or dozens of members, or illicit avenues of funding, but with many... MANY hours of hard work from amazing people, we've secured places that we can call a home away from home. In the meantime, our volunteer members are becoming well known amongst many of the late night farmers, a few of the miners, and befriending several local SD, PD, and EMS officers as we give aid and assistance where we can. Our next goals involve purchasing a recognised business property for propper government recognition. Edited September 25, 2019 by Lucius.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
