Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: High Command RP Ramble
« on: March 29, 2013, 12:21:22 AM »
What I mean by 938 going rogue isn't him just straight out going behind the Union's back and leaving. I mean he committed an anti-Union act. He assisted an anti-citizen which is a pretty big decision that can result in ultimately fucking up your character's life literally. And if it was out of sympathy, that's a pretty big step just for being sympathetic. The furthest I've attempted on 495 along the lines of sympathy is giving someone a warning instead of beating them. But what he did was commit a rogue act, and should be treated that way. So if we did catch 938 and apparently everything up to the point of us confronting him with Elizabeth after all the confusion, we were called out for metagame because the citizen who called it in was  too far away and spawned a request device to call it in. (I think) So then there's the IC perspective you can put into account. I would think at least ICly that there's cameras installed in the various areas of the nexus. So all of the rp that was going on inside the medbay was recorded and logged. Or if 938 deleted that, It's going to be detected.
But that's debatable. It was brought up by other admins but I honestly don't care at this point if It's voided or not. Eventually 938 would be caught and amputated for that and Elizabeth would be executed. Oh well.

Everything took "second place" to our rp because it was the current rp going on. He couldn't be like "I'm going to get you out", walk five feet, then go off and help a unit because they requested him. RP is RP. Perhaps afterwards, if the shit sort, hadn't happened, he would have been more than happy to help you guys, but he was busy letting my character go. You complaining about not being able to have first priority is an ooc problem, not an ic. Also, we weren't cybering, thanks.

And I can agree with twinkletoes by this, as he pulled my comment as an example. Airborne was very busy with what I can only assume was his new job. Real life comes first, yes. But then when he does have time to come on and there's a truckload of backed up shit including projects like the vests I had been working on for days, and he's doing something that at the time was so god damn stupid I couldn't believe it everyone there including myself didn't know what to think. We take the time to rp developing our projects just so 938 can say "go ahead" over the radio to give you a gun and let you go. That is what he means. High command is very minimal work. You set up a frame, say yes or no to questions while trying to keep the peace by being tough. Which doesn't essentially mean you need to be pissed off 24/7. I argued about HC's process of dealing with situations a while back. What I saw was a bigass moodswing when you hit OfC/DvL. 270 was a prime example of "ripping spines" when anyone spoke. I hated that, so when I got to AmU, then OfC and eventually DvL/Section OfC I kept a laid back, calm and calculated shell around my unit. Inside he's scared of screwing up and still learning himself; Most of the Units he leads are years older than he is.
That's what I mean by the way you roleplay as high command. Breaking the UU's rules or abiding by them isn't your only two choices.

I don't feel restricted either like Dallas. And if you're talking about 938, which I'm sure is the reason you're bringing this up there's several reasons (At least for an S0 unit from what I've asked).
- They would be loyalty checked
- Possibly brainwashed
- Augmented

With all of that, they would be augmented, tested true to be loyal to the Union and then brainwashed. My Officer 495 hasn't been brainwashed, memory replaced and has minimal augmentation. When you get to the point of S0, yes it does restrict your rp greatly. But then again it depends on how you play the role. You can have very little or a lot of involvement in your section. Have different emotions, a different process of reacting to situations and interacting with your fellow Units; It's pretty much endless how you can roleplay as a High Command unit among anything else. But yes, I do think there needs to be some freedom with this too but not just "herp derp i'm going rogue after years in the cca" but as of now that's the way it is.

And if Airborne wants to have a rogue unit, make another one and go rogue. It makes MUCH more sense compared to a Section leader who has dedicated their lives and time to the CCA. I try to present a project to him that he requested I do and just tells me It seems good because he was letting you go. That made me a bit mad.

Suggestions / Recycling
« on: March 25, 2013, 04:09:19 PM »
Well since Khub is adding all of these updates soon and the server's economy will be changed up to the point where people need to find jobs to purchase things, I thought maybe recycling could be added. Say each time you drink a can of water or finish an item that has a container, you obtain the junk item. From there, an NPC with some sort of a machine model that buys the junk items for a few tokens could be added and the character gets a small amount of tokens. This could also work for miscellaneous junk sitting around in P3.

There's a junk plugin already made too: http://forums.cloudsixteen.com/index.php?topic=983.0

"Adds junk items. When a player eats/drinks a consumable, he/she will be given the according junk item. The items can also be accessed through the "j" flag."

I think it would be helpful to an extent. Like manhacks, vortigaunts, striders etc. that don't work very well with CW (Heard vorts have some issues with clipping). But then again I'm not sure how it would work. Either way, I like it.

About a month ago, we did this. It was okay, and most of the action was from Logistics and was more revolved around the CCA than citizens which is what we need more of. I'm sure if it was planned it would fan out better but even then it doesn't make sense. There's one track and it it passes by, never stopping or having to move. I just don't see the point personally.
I'm sorry...did you just say that we need more events that revolve around the CCA more than citizens? That goes against the entire philosophy for HL2RP that has been established.

Mistyped that, sorry.

Never played it, but it does look fun despite the horrid graphics. But it seems like you need a lot of people to make the server work. That being said, I'm not sure but I'll try it.

So then if the title is the only thing you think would be important, there's no point. People can donate as much as they want.

I get this too now. Each time I join I have to download those again, same with a few other servers that I used to have all the files for.

Denied Authorizations / Re: 270's authorization app.
« on: February 20, 2013, 02:38:15 PM »
If the entire CCA's canon on stasis is invalid, why is yours correct? On top of that the trip to the Outlands is pretty long as far as I know. Probably abandoned buildings along the way but nothing that can keep 270 sustained.

Hello
- You said something about writing your app in another language and then using translate. Why is that?
- Outlands or City?
- Ever going to apply for the CCA?
- If you do apply and get accepted, what section would you join? (Probably medical?)
