    Irvine

     

    Eilidh Irvine is known to the public as a gifted designer and a celebrity. She represents Havalynd money - an experiment of utilising entertainment and artistic gentrification as alternatives to violent repression on the neighbourhoods of San Paro. The city establishment needed an appealing and cheerful face sent down to pacify the anger of citizens after years of protracted urban warfare...

    It used to be Hea Choi's job to reach out to the San Paro communities, and her protĂ©gĂ©e Irvine is about to take up the torch. Choi’s rationales of taking Irvine under her wing remains undisclosed. One could only guess that the indisputable PR queen of the city saw in the girl a raw potential, something which Choi was happy to cradle, and manipulate to serve the best interest of the corporations. Indeed, Irvine’s capability was already proven two years ago masterminding a viral urban uprising campaign of the G-Kings, where she was just a freshman at the Arts Academy. 

     

    Irvine has learnt to combine her talents and PR tricks to make herself a name after two years of pupillage under Choi. She is famous, has her own condo, her studio, her miniseries, and even a motivational bestseller published under her name. She was happy until recently, Joker Distribution comes along and invites her to be a representative of a new product line. Irvine was reluctant. But two weeks later, without Hea Choi’s knowledge, she was referred to the marketing & sales department of Joker Distribution under Justin Teng’s executive order. From there onwards, she takes a lot of pressure from the public for sugarcoating gun culture and vigilantism. Luckly, she managed holding on to her enormous follower base despite the hiccups.

     

    Had she resisted against either Teng or Joker, everything she had built and earned would be taken away overnight. Irvine does not crave money in essence, but she is not stupid either to ignore its power in American capitalism. Deep down, she has a strong feeling that she may need the money to escape from this damned city someday, and the key to monetary success is all about positioning oneself. Irvine is fearful of the corporate mights, despite how she sympathises with the G-Kings and Arlon Benjamin’s motives for systematic reform. She is just as vulnerable as any commoners without her influence and corporate backers. She never knows why the company heads wanted her to represent Joker, maybe there were some kind of grand schemes happening behind the curtain. But she could never know.

     

    Perhaps it is the guilt from selling weapons, Eilidh has set up anonymously a fund dedicated to the catering of San Paro’s at risk children, akin to what her mentor Hea Choi has done for breast cancer research. Unlike Choi, however, Eilidh would never want to use charity as a publicity stunt. There is just something in Eilidh’s heart that keeps her from crossing that line.

    Playing the Devil's Advocate: sometimes common sense actually turns about to be against the rules in some places.

    Like, at one point it was against YouTube's rules to upload documentaries about WW2 Germany (heck, it might still be, IDK).

    Maybe I want to make a symbol recreation of a photograph of a German Focke-Wulf Fw190. Historically, it came out of the factory with a paint job including a Swastika on the tail. Every photograph of a German Fw190 has a Swastika. So according to common sense, f I'm trying to recreate something historical and non-political, the Swastika should be allowed. It's a niche scenario where a symbol that is banned should be allowed.

    I see. What I meant by common sense is actually an awareness of taking into account of the feeling of other players, as it is very likely that someone will get offended by the Swastika. You could definitely recreate any Nazi transports, but perhaps APB is not the best place to do it. While I don't know much about Youtube policies, I believe that whoever runs this online multiplayer has a responsibility of monitoring the potential spread of hate. It is universally understood that the Swastika has strong connotation of the Nazi atrocities so this shouldn't be too difficult for any player to comprehend. I joined the game in around 2012 and the ban of Swastika has always been consistent as far as I can recall. So to me persoanlly, banning of the Swastika in APB is indisputable and should remain as it is.

    CSG, best sounding and looking gun for me. Always loved the shotguns, it sounds even better when you managed to land all the pellets onto you enemies. I wouldn’t go as far as to say STAR-556 has the worst firing sound ‘cause I haven’t tried all the guns in the game, but I’d like to believe that the gun sounds quite weird compared to other guns, esp. rifles.Â đŸ€”
