*NOTE: I was on the waiting list and didn't really know how to do the assignment because I didn't have access yet. So the dates will be added here. Before, I hit 'New GameLog' for each entry that I did per day and had my thoughts/entry in the optional 'Opinion' section. So I'll be rehashing what I've said here. I started playing Tuesday, January 16. Also each day's entry is it's own separate GameLog that has one entry for that day.
I've made it up to day 12 and for me the game is finally showing consequences of failing at calls. The consequences started showing up at day 10. I guess I let too many perpetrators get away, both by chance and some not so, and now the mayor/city hall is punishing me by making me fire employees. No big deal, if I just fire the lowest ranking officer. However, I soon came to realize that my B shift force was low on officers. And the calls were coming in faster than ever or at least that's how I felt because I was understaffed. I had to pay even closer attention on who I sent out at times. I could send my best officer to a job that's decently difficult and the next minute a very dangerous situation comes up and I have either too low rank officers left or not enough officers available to accept the job.
Now sometimes in the game you're given something like a "false dilemma" where even though it may seem like there's only two choices/extremes that there are actually more. And on day 12 I'm given two choices and "false dilemma doesn't apply here. I have no other choice, there are only two buttons. Do I side with some random criminal guy, who I forgot the name of, that came out of nowhere or side with Mr. Sand the mafia leader who I've worked with a for awhile? I sided with Mr. Sands just because I knew him longer. Like I wonder if anything really changes if I choose the random criminal guy. I'm going to be doing some pretty unethical things either way. I've been doing that this whole time anyway.
Now doing unethical things in a game some could argue that that's bad and that it reflects who I am, player vs. self. But that's a whole other issue that I'm not going to jump into right now.
