General Discussion / Re: A suggestion and solution.
« on: February 23, 2012, 10:09:16 PM »
So theoretically, going along with the original post, CG's problems will be resolved when the owners set up a Dark-RP server for the Serious RPers. At that point, children will stop using their mothers' credit cards to donate, thus resulting in less "v" flag abuse.

...

Yes...

...

Yes!!!



If you want an actual solution, you should focus on the playerbase, rather than what you offer it. If people are abusing their "v" flags; make sure they stop.

Starting new servers won't, unfortunately, call for more serious servers. In fact; it wouldn't change anything, except for the amount of players going around. You don't need numerous servers to get strong roleplayers; anyone is able to roleplay well, as long as they have been taught how to. So instead of complaining, find a new player, and teach him to be as pro as you are.

I have Photoshop CS5, and I haven't found a single other picture editing program that does better. I've gone through quite a lot of different software though.

Where was he/she at the time of the tornado:
Ryan McDonald was running a CWU Cafe & Employment boutique. It was meant to attract all sorts of citizens in order to serve them Universal Union food, as well as offer them an opportunity to work there; based on their applications, which they had to write. McDonald was busy explaining to his new employees as to what they were to do.

You have to apply for authorisation for such things.

General Discussion / Re: The megaupload situation
« on: January 21, 2012, 12:14:07 AM »
It's more of the fact that the government shut down megaupload before the bills were actually passed. Now try to picture what would happen if the bills were to be confirmed and passed. They would seek out every possible case of copyright, and the whole thing would get to a point where websites would be getting shut down becomes someone thought that they were breaking some kind of copyright law. And knowing this world; shit will get out of hand.

Social Discussion / Re: Lucid Dreaming (Right section?)
« on: January 21, 2012, 12:00:30 AM »
Not sure if Lucid Dreaming or not; but I wake up pretty often wondering if the things I dreamed of actually happened. I have very vivid dreams, and I've always been interested in the idea of having more control over dreams, but never got into it.

This thread isn't meant to be a flame war, so stop talking shit to each other. It's a simple statement, directed to Ice, saying that he needs to get his ass online.

Try to actually get on once in a while, as you have only been on twice, and actually do something as the leader of the CWU. None of your promised CWU "projects" were ever seen.

OOC Section


OOC Name:
Col. Avalanche

IC Character Name:
Scott Anders

1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Combine Civil Authority and what lead your character to do so.
My character, Scott Anders, has a strong passion towards the Combine. My character wishes to keep the cities in better order, doing anything he can to improve the surroundings. He has seen his fair share of anti-citizen activity, and wishes to be able to do more than just send a request via his request device. Seeing as the amount of units present in City 18 has shown to be limited, he saw the opportunity to apply for the Combine Civil Authority.

My character has been a witness to several injuries and accidents, at which no one has come to assist the injured other than himself. As Scott was a paramedic before the invasion of the Combine, he wants to pursue the path of a Nova. Being a paramedic has opened his eyes to many situations, and has taught him the importance of not only the role, but the importance of teamwork as well. Thus my character wishes to aid the cities in which he is stationed by aiding the wounded, as well as keeping order within the city itself.

Scott achieved Loyalist status rather quickly; performing duties such as cleaning streets, polishing several units’ boots, and reporting anti-citizen activity. Seeing the Universal Union as the only way to not only survive, but also prosper, my character applied for a position shortly after receiving his Loyalist armband. My character has submitted his application to a unit, and awaits a response from the Combine Civil Authority. In the meantime, my character carefully observed the ways, procedures, and actions of units, trying to understand their system better.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
My character is very mature, intelligent and understanding in the medical field. He has proven to be very honest, even if he knows that the outcome of the situation will not favour him. He is dedicated and hardworking. Being a quick learner has been one of his traits since his youth.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?
My expectations of the Combine Civil Authority for my character are the same as for my previous character. My character will be encouraged to follow the ranking structure, and will be sometimes forced to do some things that, deep inside, he doesn’t want to do. Scott will be further disciplined and taught many techniques and procedures with which he is not familiar with. He will also experience major, quick, physical changes due to the medications he will encounter upon his recruitment.

For myself, I expect as much of the Combine Civil Authority, again, as I did for my other character. It will be disciplined in-character, and will take time to progress through the ranks. Being soft as a recruit will be rather challenging for me, as I have been raised in a strict manner, and take positions, even if in-game, very seriously, despite my ranks. Once again, following the authorisations systems shouldn’t be a challenge for me, as I am aware of the importance of them, and have been a part of many RPs in which ranks were to be followed.

4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.
Scott Anders was born on September 22nd, 1981, in the city of Toronto, Canada. He grew up in a very disciplined middle-class family, and was expected much of at early ages. Scott took his first steps at 11 months, which was slightly longer than it took his older brother. Scott Anders began speaking in small sentences a few months before his second birthday.

Scott went to a local elementary school, which is where he began socialising and meeting new friends. His teachers were often impressed by Scott’s listening skills, and have made many remarks about him being a quick learner. The young boy earned good grades in school, and has often been trying to be better than his older brother, Adam, who was 3 years older than himself. Yet, both brothers got along very well, despite their rivalry.

Scott moved onto high school, after a successful graduation from elementary; earning awards for excelling in English, Mathematics, and Science. In high school, Scott worked hard for his grades, but always made time for extra-curricular activities outside his studies; often spending time with his friends and investing time in the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga. The adolescent progressed through the grades in high school, as well as the levels in Krav Maga, with excellent performances. The young boy graduated high school with an Honour Roll, and moved onto a medical university, to pursue his interest in the medicinal field.

After completing university, and going through many different jobs and responsibilities around one of Toronto’s hospitals, Scott realised that being a paramedic is the duty fit for him. He found himself enjoying being the first to arrive as help at different scenes, working in dangerous situations, as well as saving those who would’ve otherwise died. It was during one of his duties that the word of the Combine attack spread upon the world. Major urban cities were rumoured to have been captured. Military forces were rumoured to be either dead or scattered.

Toronto, too, has surrendered to the dominant Combine forces, and gave in to their attack. Scott was passed through several searches, given his standard city jumpsuit, and a ration packet, after which he was released into the city with the other civilians like himself. During his placements throughout the different cities, Scott came to understand that co-operation is vital for everyone’s survival. He understood that the Combine dominated any forces of resistance put up against them, as he, himself, has witnessed. Scott began observing other citizens, as well as some of the units, and has noticed some being awarded with Loyalist Points for their actions.

Scott quickly picked up on the act, and began requesting duties and tasks from the units he came across, in hopes of receiving some of the perks that the Loyalists received. He polished shoes, cleaned streets and housing blocks, reported anti-citizen activity, and other forms of assistance, which have, in one way or another, lead to a better city for the Universal Union. Seeing the limited amount of units while stationed in City 18, Scott asked a unit for an application, and decided to fill it out, hoping to enrol into the Combine Civil Authority, and one day, too, work side by side with the units he has come across.
