Der Gestapo

[Gus Smedstad]

I appreciate that there are now real differences between the careers, rather than the same cookie-cutter mold of 2 skills.  Though I find the "gardening and fishing but no logic" focus of the Science career track weird.

The Law Enforcement career, though, is creepy.  Because of Reports.  You gain performance points for turning in reports on your neighbors.  Not criminals, just any random person on the street.  The more of a dossier you assemble, the better your score for informing on them.  The more I played with a Law Enforcement Sim, the more it seemed like the proper name for the career was Secret Police.

Haven't you been paying attention?  "Law Enforcement" are "Secret Police" in any civilized society these days.  Personally, I think this interaction is a sort of nod to them.

Just Ot but:

it means Die Gestapo.

Really? That's interesting. I would have thought Gestapo was masculine. (Because of my own personal gender bias, I'm sure.) Or is the 'die' because it's a plural noun?

It is short for "Geheime Staatspolizei" (secret state police). As Polizei is feminine in German, so is GeStaPo
