(Reposting this out of my reluctance to bump my old thread. I truly think this would be super amazing and fun and the new, fresh theme would compensate for the stale, over done HL2rp environment. Not only that, but being as we would be the only, and I mean ONLY community hosting this, we would likely get much more population flow from all the RPers who are tired of the same old, same old. However, I will note, the content in this thread is out dated due to it being made for Gmod12. I am no coder, but I think with a little work the Gmod 12 code can be fixed up for Gmod13 OR we would maybe try and get in touch with the creator of the script - Rick Dark and have him fix it up for us?? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR we can try and re-create it on ClockWork if that's an option???

** For the record, I am not suggesting to have this replace HL2rp!)

This suggestion was already essentially brought up by SirTai in his thread about Zombie Roleplay but then again for the sake of necro posting and creating a more descriptive post I am making this. Yes, people, zombie roleplay. However, I'm not talking something like one of the comment on that post said:

Quote from: ?AG?A? Fancy Kaiser Wilhelm I on May 24, 2012, 08:52:18 PM

It must be a SERIOUS rp server. No dark rp just kill zombies all day.

You obviously misunderstood what I stated. I am sorry that I used bad grammar, but the actually meaning of that post was to say, "It must be a serious rp server. Not a dark rp server, in which you kill zombies all day."

I have been having constant problems with joining hl2rp. Everytime I join, it says Openaura initializing or some shit then boom! The screen goes black. I have tried everything from deleting and re-installing gmod to doing the same on every source game. I have no idea what to do. I also verified the integrity of the cache.

I am sorry, I just get mad sometimes when I took a long time to write my auths and CWU App while I see some other people just running around saying (Not in CWU) I am a Doctor, I got this. It just gets me really annoyed. Especially when they don't even know what Epinephrine 10,000 means when I tell them, "We need [insert medical object here] on the patient, now."  They tell look at me and ask in looc "What is that?" Plus, I have been one of the few active CWU Workers and it really gets annoying that Organizers are barely on.

Just need to ask something, with these perks/auths, I can say, in my back story, I was a Doctor and I went to Medical School, correct?

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
(For a full understanding of how I obtained these authorizations, I feel it is better to also add in my back story that I used on my CWU application.)
Back story:  Joseph Dawn Veinschneider was born on 1976, January twenty-second in Cologne, Germany. He was born in West Germany, the EU occupied area during the Cold War. His mother died attempting to pass the wall to bring Joseph to see his grandparents. Luckily, Joseph was safe and was picked up as an orphan by a regular Middle Class family. His father was named Paul and his mother named Rosa. Joseph wasn't blessed with a rich family, so he had to work for everything he had. When he was a small child he worked has a paper boy, delivering papers to his whole community. He even did this until he was a teenager. The thing that stopped Joseph from being a newspaper salesman for all his life was his interest in math and science. His favorite subject of all was biology. He was fascinated in how the normal human being worked and that interest sparked his strive to achieve a job in the medical field. His parents saw his interest and partially funded for him to go to Columbia Medical School after he finished college. In order to pay off some of his student loans, after moving to New York, Joseph payed off some of his heavy loans by working at a nearby Burger King on the side. After his specialty and residency and years of hard work, Joseph finally received the title as Doctor and was able to practice General Surgery privately and Emergency Surgery in Columbia hospital. He made good money, but it wasn't comparable to the amount of fame he received  from being a doctor.
      During the Seven Hour War, Joseph was on his Emergency Surgeon shift. Reports were coming in that ER lines were packed. Lines appeared to come from outside of the hospital. Joseph attempted to repair even the slightest wounds, but the stress was too much for him. He 'threw in the towel' due to the amount of stress and, being scared for his life, tried to flee the city during the middle of the war. After the complete destruction of the UN building and destroying of Manhattan, Joseph was one of the few survivors. He was sent to City Eight. Now, Joseph lives in City Forty-Five, waiting to see if he can again, "Do the best thing he knows how to do."

How he obtained these authorizations:
      Joseph Dawn Veinschneider is, at this point of his life time, a bright young man. A intellectual as some might say. When he was a young boy, many family members, being a orphan, told Joseph this simple quote, " Du wirst es nie schaffen aus." Meaning, "You will never make it out." Many people told him this. He was an orphan after all. Born to a average middle-class family and having to deal with being an orphan, his family members might of been right. In the end, they were all wrong. Joseph kept on going for his dream, striving for his dream. Joseph became very interested in Math and Science at a early age, and this gift of is turned him into what he came out to be. There were moments though where Joseph had almost given up on medicine. These experiences happened quite early, in his life. One of thee moments happened when he was mid-way through medical school in Columbia. Is teacher, Dr. Roberts, showed him and his class a knee replacement surgery. The surgery was being done on a small boy who was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis. A stiffening in the boy's leg was occurring, so a knee replacement was necessary. Joseph was to help Dr. Roberts in the operation, but something was soon to go terribly wrong. "Joe, I need you to first examine the knee cap, do you see the difference between this knee cap and a normal one?" said Dr. Roberts.
    "Yes I do," said Joseph with, affirmatively.
    "Now, it's a simple procedure from here," said Dr. Roberts, "the preparation for the surgery itself is harder." Dr. Roberts chuckles and in a in order not to disappoint his teacher, Joseph gives off a fake chuckle, showing the fact that Joseph doesn't know what to do here. "So all you have to do is first remove the knee cap from the quadriceps muscles," said Dr. Roberts, "prepare for the detachment now." Joseph preparation stage showed Doctor Roberts that he was not ready for this. Before Joseph could be stopped, Dr. Roberts attempted to halt Joseph's proceedings, but then, the knee pop'ed out of place. The energy inside the knee was too much and caused the knee cap to bust. Joseph dropped his scalpel in shock. The knee erupted like almost like a volcano with all the combustion inside. Joseph just let it go loose. The blood was everywhere now, but that wasn't what mattered right now. Sure, his scrubs might be pretty ruined, but Joseph didn't even bother to notice. To see the horrifying pop'ed knee was just enough to make Joseph vomit. This event almost steered Joseph away from medicine, but eventually Joseph got over this event and took the good with it. Joseph learned that there will always be mistakes in medicine. Though he has a very uncontrollable temper when he does make a mistake during procedure, this event made Joseph learn that mistakes will always happen in medicine. This event made Joseph more intrigued about learning and

Full Name: Joseph Dawn Veinschneider
Citizen identification(CID): 56710
Last Assigned Apartment Number: UCH:A3
Total Loyalist Points: 1
Sex: Male
Age: 36

How long have you been in City45:
I have lived in City Forty-Five for around four years now. I was transferred from City Eight to here. I like it a little bit more as the City Eight used to remember me of my past in New York City...

Why do you want to join the CWU?:
I want to join the CWU to receive a better life as a Citizen of City Fourty-Five and the Universal Union. Life has been pretty hard for me, but now being on the better side of the Civil Protection, life is becoming more clear. I want to serve the Universal Union the best way I know how to do. The CWU will allow me to do so; allowing me to fully show and even hone my skills, which would hopefully turn me into a better citizen.

Have you ever been detained before?(If so why):
I have never been detained.

Past experience with work/labor:
When I was a small child in Germany, I used to be a newspaper boy. During college in Columbia (In New York City), I had a side job working in Burger King. I didn't make much, but it was enough. After my residency, I worked as a Doctor, working for my own private office as a General Surgeon and a Emergency Surgeon in the Columbia Hospital. This was a common practice for Doctors at my time.

Name 4 things the CWU Can possess, and 4 things we cant. Also state why.:
    The CWU is allowed to posses all legal items deemed under the Universal Union. There are a wide array of items the CWU can own. One of them being UU branded food. These foods can be UU branded Tea, UU Branded Coffee, UU Branded Milk, UU Branded Noodles, etc. UU Branded items are considered fit for citizens. These items are fit to keep the peace and a civilized nation. Other items can include flashlights and back-bags. These items can be used to help make a citizen's life a bit easier. Other items can include request devices. These can keep every citizen safe and keep the peace around the city. Finally, there are medical items that can be used to save citizen's lives. These items could include items such as bandages.
      Most of these items can be sold by CWU workers for a set amount of UU branded tokens. Though the Universal Union is alike to Central Planned Economy, the CWU does give a small boost to the economy in the Universal Union.                                                                                
       Though the CWU can posses a wide array of items, there are some items that the CWU may not posses. These items can include firearms. Firearms are very dangerous, which can break the peace the Civil Protection so dearly tries to hold. Firearms only cause violence, which the CWU is against. The same would go for explosives, and ammunition for said firearms. The CWU also cannot posses non-UU Branded food and other items. These items cannot be possesed by the CWU as it disrupts, as I will restate again, the peace the Civil Protection so dearly tries to hold. Non-UU branded items such as alcohol can hurt the population and disrupt the peace.
     In conclusion, the CWU posses certain items and does not posses certain items in order to keep the peace and making life for every law-abiding citizen a little bit easier.

Tell us about what you can do.:
The small jobs I had when I was younger give me little abilities compared to my main profession as a Surgeon. Being a General Surgeon in the Private field and a Emergency Surgeon in Columbia Hospital, I have experience in the medical field. Medicine is the best and only thing I know, besides eating, speaking, sleeping, and other necessary tasks for living. Sure, I could do some simple commerce, but to practice medicine, the way I feel, is the reason why I was placed on this Earth.

If a citizen asks for help and is new to the city, what would you do?:
First, I would greet him to City Forty-Five. I would show him the landmarks around, restricted areas off limits to him, jobs you could do in the city, and other various things. I would make sure he would feel safe in the City, as that would be my job, making every citizen's life a little bit easier. If he was hungry, I would offer him some food. If he was thirsty, I would offer him something to drink. I would tell him some of the simple laws he must follow and tell him where he would be able to sleep at night. Then, if I he had any other questions, I would answer them. Finally, I would let him off into City Forty-Five, but if he ever needed help, I would tell him I would always offer help while still abiding by the law.

Detail a regular day as a worker of the CWU?:
(This is First person  and on a regular day as if I have actually been accepted)
**It is Six O'Clock AM and an alarm goes off**
  "Ugh," I groaned, "Another day, another day to save a life." I got up from my bed and walk to the bathroom of my apartment.  I then looked in the mirror. The morning groggy feel started to fade away as I splashed some water on my face. The cold water alerted my face; rejuvenating my dry lips and waking my eyes from the deep abyss it was in for the last seven hours. I walked to my dressing cabinet and got my CWU uniform. I saw the wrinkles in the clothing. I quickly ironed my uniform and the quickly put it on. My Commanding worker called me on the radio saying, "Joe, it's time to get to work, get to the HQ asap." I replied, "On my way sir." I walked out of my apartment and locked the door. Walking down the stairs I noticed a another citizen walking down to the lobby of the building too. I said, "Good morning." She replied back the same way. I did this as random act of kindness as I know that it will always turn back to me in a good way. Because of this, she opened the door for me. The warm friendliness I try to apply to City Forty-Five will always make a better place for every citizen here. Stepping out of my apartment, I can felt the fresh air, as I do every day. I walked towards the nearby Water Vending Machine. I inserted a few tokens and pop'ed open a can of Breen Water as I walk to my destination. I drank some of the water before I pick up my suitcase again and go to the HQ. I then inserted my CWU ID card into the scanner. The door alarm made a small beeping sound allowing me to open the door.
    I walked into the facility and started the regular, usual day. I opened up my briefcase, taking out my daily lunch and my supplies. Laying them on the table, a fellow worker helped me set up for the day. Being kind to your fellow man always helps you out in the end. A few hours later a Civil Protection Officer stormed in through the door with a civilian with numerous wounds. I could see serious chest trauma, and so did my assistant. "Get him on ventilation asap," I yelled, "I need Epie 10,000s on the side immediately!" I immediately took a deep breath in and said, assure the ABCs (A = Airway with cervical spine control, B = Breathing, and C = Circulation with control of bleeding). I attached a cardiac monitor to the patient immediately. The sucking chest wound started to overflow the desk the patient was laying on with blood. I kept monitoring for a collapsed lung while my assistant put dressing on the wound. I saw immediate heart failure so I yelled at my assistant to immediately give the patient a 10,000 to give some life into the heart. The IV needle was pop'ed into the patient's artery in his right arm. His heart started to improve, but I knew that this would only be temporary. The officer yelled at me saying, with his deep vo-coder, "This is a POI, I need him patched up now!" I replied saying, "I will try my best sir." I attempted to use a nearby BVM to stop the lung failure, but it was too much for the patient. The lungs stopped and the whole room went silent. I felt like throwing the BVM across the room, but I stopped myself and stood vigilant. The Civil Protection Officer said, "Well, you did the best you could, dispose of the body." My team was able to use some of the left over organs as useful for a possible near future situation. I dropped my BVM in anger and kicked the hospital bed the dead patient was laying on. I did all this in anger, but a fellow worker told me, "I did the best I knew how to do." With rewards, you must take failures. This job is hard, as everyday you have no idea what will come through that door.

Taking the actual G.E.D tomorrow morning and Tuesday morning as well.  It's like a 7 hour test, fun fun.

So when do you need the essay by? I could do it tonight.

why do i have the feeling you just posted this to make people think youre either rich or cool

if you really bought such an enthusiast system you should know the answer yourself

I can give you a benchmark or all different types of proof to show I own one. Bought it off of cyberpower gaming. This has nothing to do with bragging rights. I just want to know if it will last for 2-3 years and when I need to upgrade it. I'm not great at figuring out the longevity of hardware. What now? Do you want a receit?
