I think a Regulator faction would really spice things up. I know a lot of people will say that they'd be a dm faction and flame the idea to ashes, but I think with the right ingredients and control it could be a succesful faction.
The members would have to be somewhat deranged to want to "cleanse" the zone - a bit like monolith post-brainwash. The passive would consist (along-side each characters independent story) of collecting intel on the wastelands inhabitants - mingling with them to learn of them - when someone "evil" is discovered, then plans are concocted to purge them - detailed plans as to avoid mistakes (and to extend potential passive rp for even longer, but still keeping it fun).
The hierarchy would also be pretty simple - one Head Regulator (I was thining maybe Sheriff? xD) and the rest being members, with maybe a few "officers". And of course - membership would be invite only.
The aim of the faction would be to purify the wasteland of evil yet to remain anonymous in doing so - remain under the radar for both the safety of the faction and the inhabitants of the wasteland - giving an incredibly passive faction yet still having an exciting, dangerous edge.
It'd pretty much be a more exclusive, righteous, refined version of monolith.
I think it'd work tremendously!
Note - Regulators weren't loco en la cabeza. They were good people looking for well-earned money who were a bit trigger happy.
Must... Resist... impulse... TO DM THEM!!!
I am evil, sorry.
On another note, This could become a good faction,

...Regulators weren't loco en la cabeza...
When I first met them in F3, my first thought of them was that they were a bit eerie. Not bonkers or completely mad - but something eerily wrong. Something creepily strange. And anyone who's trigger happy cant be all right ;)
What about the original Regulators from FO1? I liked them alot better, since they were unlawful and realistic.
They aren't in the fallout its based on - meaning they arent in the capital wastelands. The regulators your talking about were a lot more open and were more of a police force.
I know, also, they weren't a police force. They were bad. They manipulated the mayor and killed his son. The gang called "The Rippers", or something along thos elines, were good. I'm saying I liked those Regulators better. They were made with more realism to the Fallout world.

I meant this to be a "Regulators SHOULD be an official faction" thread...
Has anyone thought of adding like Reilly's Rangers?
This is before Reily's Rangers even existed. Also, you probably shouldn't ask that here.
