  1. Turn-based strategy:

    Rome: Total War

    Medieval: Total War II

     

    RTS:

    Sins of a Solar Empire

    The Battle for Middle-earth II

    Command and Conquer series, especially Renegade (FPS), and Generals (RTS)

     

    Other:

    The Sims 3

    Zoo Tycoon

    Prison Tycoon

    Roller Coaster Tycoon

     

     

    Yep.  Those are all good.  I've been playing a lot of Rome: TW recently, cause it's sequel comes out in September, and my copy of Medieval :TW II is having problems.

  2. 3. If your a paramedic and want to go and grab a coffee that will take less than 2 minuites while on-duty, do you still have to tell dispatch your 10-6/7?

     

    4.If you saw an accident, and people in a car trapped with the doors jammed should you break the window open and try to open the door from the inside?

    5. If someone in a motercycle collision is unconcious but breathing what should you do? Not a recover position right because the person might have fractured bones.

     

    3.  Depends on your location and service.  At my service, all we have to tell Dispatch is that we're 10-88 in our area, which means we're out and about in our area.

    4.  Depends on if you're John Q. Citizen or an emergency worker.  As John Q. Citizen, you're not to touch it.  Call 911 immediately.  As a fire service worker, get a Halligan and pop the door.  If you can't pop it with a Halligan, get your Hurst tool or equivalent.

    5.  Maintain C-spine (hold their head and keep them moving their neck or spine) and wait for paramedics. Call 911.  If he starts to choke, tell the dispatcher.  They will give you further instruction.

  3. Why do paramedics check people's pupils with a flashlight? What does it do? How are the pupils supposed to react if the person is fine? If their pupil doesn't react normally, why is that? How can you treat them? What causes the pupil not to react normally?

     

    Paramedics check pupils with a flashlight to check that your pupils are properly responding to light.  Normal reactivity is that your pupils will dilate, becoming smaller when the light is shined in your eyes. A "fixed" pupil, or one that does not react to light, is a VERY bad sign and can indicate either a bad head injury or an overdose. The treatment differs for each case.

     

    In a bad head injury, the paramedic will take C-spine precautions, usually consisting of immobilizing the patient via a cervical collar and a spineboard.  In some areas, the patient may be immobilized with just a C-collar, or by other means, depending on local protocols.  En route to the hospital, the paramedic will start an IV line.

     

    In an overdose, the paramedic will administer Narcan (naloxone) while on-scene.  The patient will then be transferred to the ambulance and transferred emergent to an ER facility.  While en route, the paramedic will get IV access if he hasn't already, as well as anything else dictated by local protocol.

     

    Hope that helped, Graal Bot.

  4. So, I've decided to work with w00ds' original map.  Not the one based off the campaign map, his original one.  It much better reflects the style of Aiken.  Station staffing will be edited, and four new stations will be added--Aiken County Sheriff's Office, a Highway Patrol post, ACEMS Headquarters, and Aiken Rescue.  To do this, I have to learn to script, as well as learn how to create parking spaces.  Anyone who knows how is welcome to teach me, and it will greatly expedite the process.  This does push back a release of v1, but it also will hopefully make v1 better and more like Aiken.

  5. PD) No limits nationally here in the U.S.  Limits are determined only by your department and what the vehicle can physically do.  This counts for PD, fire, and EMS.

     

    EMS) Nope, if he says he doesn't want medical attention, nothing can be forced on him unless he is determined to not be of his proper mind.  If he is determined to be disoriented or not entirely sane, he can be taken into productive custody by the police.  Treatment may then be applied.

     

    FD) Vehicle can be parked anywhere with reason.  No particular angle or anything.  Traffic being blocked is not advisable unless the accident itself blocks traffic.

  6. 1)Report him to a higher authority, preferably a captain or a chief-level officer.

     

    2)Knock on the window again.  Repeat once more.  If they still don't reply, take down the tags, make, and model.  Mail the ticket to them.  This is providing that you've already had Dispatch check to make sure the car wasn't stolen.

  7. No obvious signs of fire, so return to the truck and pull off the guy's property.  Park on the side of the main road with your lights going and confirm the address with Dispatch.  Once address has confirmed, check again for signs of visible fire.  If none, call it as a false alarm, inform Dispatch you were not allowed onto the property, and depart.

     

    If we're still on his property and he pulls out the shotgun, make like a tree and leave.  If he persists as you're leaving, call for PD backup and continue your process of leaving.

  8. Okay. I'll have a go.

     

    You're riding your bike in the forest when you hear cries of pain. You realize a 80 year old man is being mugged on his walk through the woods. The attacker clearly has what seems to be an illegal handgun, and is pointing it at the old man while at the same time hitting him and kicking him to the ground. The gun is possibly loaded, and it could be fake or real. What do you do?

     

    Take into account you're 21-this man is 80. While you still have your whole life ahead of you, is such a big risk worth it?

     

    Taking account what I usually have with me, I have a 3-inch knife.  I'd bum-rush the guy with the gun and knock him down, then hold him at gunpoint, or if it's fake, at knifepoint until authorities arrive.

  9. Those are all looking very nice!

     

    Would it be possible to get full vehicle fleets for all the fire departments? I'm personally stuck with very sloppy cut'n'paste reskins as my graphic design skills are very limited.

     

    LA County: All Ambulances (01, 02, 04, Large Rescue), Light Equipment Truck, Heavy Equipment Squad (remake of existing LACo skin to go with new ones), all Engines (01, 02, USFS 17, Tender, Brush), Water Rescue Truck, Rescue Crane, USAR Truck, Aerial Ladder, Crown Vic and/or SUV command vehicles (EMS and Battalion).

     

    USFS, BLM, NPS: Large Rescue Ambulance (like you have for USFS already), Light Equipment Truck, Heavy Equipment Squad, all Engines (01, 02, USFS 17, Tender, Brush), Crown Vic and/or SUV command vehicles (EMS and Battalion).

     

    I know you've got some of those listed planned or done already, but I'd love to have an entire fleet of vehicles to utilize. Take your time, and only take on as much work as you're willing to, of course. I'll be happy with whatever you release.

     

    LA County does not run ambulances.  Various private services, mostly AMR and McCormick, provide EMS services to LA County.
