Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Loyalist Actions
« on: January 31, 2013, 06:18:25 PM »
Just need the community to give some input/suggestions on actions that can be undertaken by citizens to gain loyalist points. After I've got a list they'll be sorted into different tiers where the 'lower' mundane tasks will become redundant and won't give any extra points at a certain level.

Current list. Feel free to post suggestions below, excellent suggestions will see to it that the person who suggests it can receive a reward on a citizen character.

Quote
Loyalist Tasks can include the following.

~ Cleaning of Union property (Windows, walls, streets, etc.)

~ Reporting Anti-Civil Propaganda

~ Turning in Contraband

~ Being seen spreading significant Pro-Union Propaganda. (Meaning no using paper that says "lol join teh cumbeans", but more along the lines of a robust, realistic piece of literature to sway citizens. Also, public speeches that do not cause disruptions.)

~ Being seen offering proper guidance to new arrivals and transferred citizens. (Showing them about the city, introducing them to units and explaining proper guidelines, etc.)

~ Reporting Anti-Civil Activity (UPA, PDA, Conspiracy, Inaction, etc.)

~ Complete and utter cooperation with Civil Protection Teams for witness situations & Interrogations. (Interrogations would only be for witnesses, not actual perps.)

~ Wrongful arrest & Mistreatment (Not sure about this one, but it could be good for compensation instead of tokens, yes?)

~ Assisting CWU with mundane tasks

~ Assisting CA with mundane tasks

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Loyalist System
« on: January 19, 2013, 11:51:13 PM »
At the Section Leader meeting we were discussing the re-implementation of the loyalist system and what we should use. I was thinking if you guys had any input it'd be appreciated if you could post here before we re-introduced it. Currently we're thinking of sticking with the old system.

IC Chat / <::| Section 2 Announcement: Pinnacle of Humanity |::>
« on: January 06, 2013, 07:12:54 AM »



A message distributed to all Civil Protection units.
Units will understand and follow the teachings included in this document and disperse them accordingly.


Humanity is at the peak of its civilization. Prior to our Benefactors' presence humanity was inevitably doomed to suffer. Unable to cure cancer, technologically restricted to the resources of planet Earth, poverty in the masses with thousands starving and the few privileged few living luxurious lifestyles, without the interference of our Benefactors humanity would surely and inevitably collapsed under our own nature of greed. It is to our Benefactors that we owe our faith - the ones who came to enlighten humanity to our wrongdoings and to uplift us to our true potential, bringing with them their advantageous gifts of medicine, technology and cultural aspects that we have now integrated into our society. Body augments that have allowed humanity to be forthright launched into the next stage of it's evolution will become the standardized normality. Senior units within the Civil Authority are living examples of this: the few who have made sacrifices so that we may all advance into the beyond. Without the interference of our Benefactors the cure to poverty and greed would be unobtainable: a parasite on our evolution. Through ration distribution all citizens are treated as equals. All citizens receive the same amount for greed will revert this pinnacle and inevitably sink humanity back into the depths of human nature. Without the assistance of our Benefactors it would be inescapable for humanity to escape our natural cycle of reproduction. It is only when we come to accept that we have surpassed the expectations of natural evolution and reproduction is no longer required that we will be free from its restraint.

It is your duty as a Civil Protection Unit to safeguard this future for humanity. War, genocide, weapons of mass destruction, these have all been abolished with the presence of our Benefactors. Without the interference of the Benefactors humanity would have been overcome to exogenous forces that intended to eradicate the human race. Without the implementation of the Civil Authority, resistance movements that seek to destroy the progress of evolution would inevitably succeed in their goals. Without the few willing to place their lives for the advancement of humanity our future could not be achieved. Without these few the ideal vision that our Benefactors are striving to achieve could not be attained. Those willing to serve our Benefactors through values such as integrity, honour, valor and undying faith will be rewarded in the next step of evolution: that many others will have to wait to even dream of.

It is with you the vanguard of our evolution lies.

Authorization(s):
- Characters backstory that dictates his time and career spent in the Armed Forces of the Crown (British Armed Forces), particularly after his transfer into the UKSF (United Kingdom Special Forces).

- To have experienced knowledge both theoretically and practically with the use of 9mm SCIP calibre pistols, mp7’s, SPAS-12’s and other firearms used before the Seven Hour War, including the equivalent experience in close combat of a Special Forces marine. Also taking into the account of manufacturing general household items into military use, such as the improvisation of chemical materials and household cooking items.

- The physical durability to have accepted him entry into the United Kingdom Special Forces. Although currently suffering from malnutrition as a result of the Universal Union’s restrictions on rations, having the ability to shape his body back into a fraction of what he managed to be inducted into the United Kingdom Special Forces. This would come to encompass being able to march 23 kilometres with full equipment and RTI (resistance to interrogation, taught to every NATO soldier today) training.

- Due to the complexities of his duty as a SAS marine and the emotional trauma faced, can be unmoving in certain conflicts where others would psychologically have broken down. In other scenarios he will be likely to spout into fits of incredible anger or frustration.


Name: Marcus McQuillen
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Resistance

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Marcus McQuinnel was born on the 16th of July 1984 nearing the end of the Cold War. Born to both a British mother who worked as a journalist and a British father - a Vietnam War veteran who now worked for the government as a public servant, Marcus grew up living amidst a time of constant warfare and the sense of insecurity from other nations. It was only rational that as the son of a veteran of war that Marcus grew up with a sense of anti-war sentiment from his parents, particularly with the Cuban Missile Crisis having only been twenty-two years before his birth as a fresh image to his parents of what war could do to the world. As a young child Marcus became fascinated with the militaristic view of the world. The uniforms, uniformed postures and the fluency of how everything worked so well together appealed to him, as well as the idea of warfare which was common to many children at a young age. It wasn’t uncommon for Marcus to play ‘Cowboys and Indians’ with his friends during school breaks with both sides attempting to kill one another using their hands as simulated weapons. Through his childhood he frequently took the opportunity to immerse himself in toy weapons and plastic uniforms to stand tall like the men he saw on TV, however like many other children Marcus also suffered emotionally during his time through school as a result of bullying from older children. Ranging from physical abuse to mental abuse (particularly over the fact that several images of his mother in her teenager years had become exposed in a raunchy magazine – which he learnt when he was older that she had done so to pay for her education) and due to the lack of comfort that his parents supplied as a result of their absence, Marcus turned to more sinister and self-dwelling concepts of how to cope with the psychological trauma. It wasn’t long before he became one of those stereotyped children who took pleasure in the suffering of others, particularly that of animals. However as Marcus’s darker secrets were to turn for the worse his passion for the military didn’t change. Determined to make himself stronger, faster and better than everybody else, he begun to exercise frequently and in copious amounts to sate his inner belief that for him to be better than others, he had to prove it. The tragedy between his parents and himself only increased over the years as he eventually became the same child that had inflicted the years of pain and suffering onto him as he was called into the school office time after time again. However, in the best interests of both the school and of his parents, Marcus was considered eligible for a special military training course that would educate children on the basic training of up-to-date military combat and tactics – on the basis that he promised to behave better in the school grounds and to stop physically beating up other children. Marcus of course had agreed and was set on the path that would eventually consume his passion to join the military and to push himself to the limits that he was truly capable of. Although starting off slow like many other children, Marcus proved to demonstrate better expertise with firearms than other children. Although he never told anybody, Marcus usually depicted the targets in his imagination as the children who once bullied him.


At the bright age of eighteen Marcus was accepted into the Armed Forces of the Crown to complete his basic training as a military soldier. During his twenty-four week course he was chosen to be eligible for transferral to the parachute regiment in which his basic training was extended to twenty-eight weeks. Not only did the motto of parachute troopers being considered tougher than other soldier regiments to be true, but Marcus had to then also overcome his sudden fear of falling thousands of feet in the sky out of a plane. Only a single step in the staircase however, Marcus proved to himself to overcome it by the time his basic training had been completed. As a regiment the parachute troopers bonded and as a celebration they would go out to the nearby towns from the training centres to have a drink and to talk to the local girls. Marcus, however, was only limited in his expertise with the opposite sex and had trouble frequently talking to them, much less the fact that his sense of superiority would also come to encompass his sexual fantasies that would prove to be traumatic of his persona later in life. Celebrations were short lived however as his parachute regiment was shortly to have been informed of their new battalions with Marcus being transferred to 1st Battalion. Only two others in the regiment had also been transferred alongside Marcus and his realisation of being indoctrinated into the United Kingdom Special Forces was only realised when faced with the brutality of his training. Alongside two hundred other candidates they were forced to submit not only to a PFT (Personal Fitness Test) and a CFT (Combat Fitness Test), but were to also cover what is known as the Fan dance; a 23 kilometre march with full equipment up and down the Pen y Fan, a mountain 886 metres above sea level within four hours. Being trained in navigation, patrol formation and movement and jungle survival skills, Marcus would also come to learn how to organise and structure battle plans and how to handle foreign weapons. One of the last events of his training for the UKSF lasted thirty six hours as he was subject to gruesome interrogation tactics. It was only because of Marcus’s brutal nature that allowed him to surpass the expectations of the trainers as he stood as one of the thirty that remained. Marcus was now considered one of the elite and he had the SAS wings and the motto ‘Who Dare Wins’ to prove it.


Deployed more frequently than what the media would admit, Marcus served within the SAS on numerous deployments, most noticeably within Sierra Leone during September 2000 and throughout the Iraq War – particularly after his placement as part of Task Force Black and Task Force Knight where he participated in 175 combat missions within six months. He was also present during 2006 in the extraction of peace activists Norman Kember, James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden that were held hostage within Iraq. Marcus was also known to have been deployed within Afghanistan, serving within the Battle of Tora Bora in the original invasion of Afghanistan by US forces.


In the late months of 2015 in a concentrated SAS effort to root out hidden nuclear weapons scattered throughout Europe, Marcus was deployed to Romania in a covert operation known as ‘Operation Blackfoot’.  Outside of standard military protocol and the law including that of the United Nations, the deployment force that Marcus took place of therefore became the concept of a black operation – the reality that if they faced failure that there would be no help and the government would retain plausible deniability and wipe them from existence. Their mission was to provide critical intelligence on the situation regarding stockpiles of nuclear weapons hidden within Romania. No longer serving with the direct SAS forces since his transferral in 2013 Marcus now worked alongside other marines in the Special Reconnaissance Regiment which had quickly gained a reputation to ‘clean up the mess of the government’. Inserted into Romanian territory via Boeing CH-47 Chinook and dropped behind enemy lines, Marcus’s squad was to deploy to a communications grid network where they would interfere with the streaming of data and attempt to intercept communications regarding the suspicion of nuclear weapons. However through unknown means – whether they were setup by either the British or Romanian government or by a third party, the SRR squad was ultimately ambushed and quickly disposed of in an outnumbered fight with only Marcus and two other survivors being taken prisoner. Suspended in a cell and forced to submit to gruesome interrogation methods in the time leading up to the Portal Storms and the Seven Hour War, Marcus spent the time between his capture and freedom of intensive interrogation that not only scarred him psychologically, but also broke his faith in any form of governmental structure that he himself couldn’t trust.


During the Seven Hour War, Romania suffered substantial bombardments that damaged key infrastructure mandatory to the continuation of the nation. It was by luck that his holding cell within government control was to become his escape when the failure of the power grid allowed him to escape. Recognising defeat when he saw it, Marcus saw it futile to try and resist the invasion of the Universal Union. After all, it only took seven hours for humanity to surrender. Knowing that as Operation Blackfoot was ultimately a failure, Marcus accepted that his history with the SAS and the British Armed Forces no longer existed, let alone recognition of his own personal existence. Taking the name of one of the prison guards that so intently tortured Marcus, his decision proved to have been exceptional when rumours spread of those with military backgrounds being detained and extracted to unknown locations. Scarred as a result of pointless torture that lasted countless months, the possibility of betrayal from his own government and the eventual defeat of humanity, Marcus ultimately set aside the goal of others for his own personal selfish interests. With the skills and experience that few have in the year of 2016, Marcus would prove his superiority to those willing to pay exceptionally for it as he bid his time within the newly modified Romanian city known as City 45.


What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
- Experienced in most forms of weapons seen before the Seven Hour War. Including close-combat and covert tactics.

Defects
- Due to substantial childhood abuse and after being neglected by his parents, Marcus suffers from substantial emotional and psychological abuse. At times this may place him into a traumatic position - such as if something was to correlate to the same treatment he received as a child may spark an emotional breakdown.

- Marcus is incapable of feeling compassionate emotions as a combination of his life and past experience with both the SAS and his experiences of torture. Having never experienced romance as a child, he is still new to the concept of compassion as all he's ever known is violence.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
After speaking to OzJackal, it has been agreed that in order to help expand the role play of Third Eye that I can use Marcus to help coordinate some long-term effects and short-term effects for those on the server, ranging from the CCA and to other citizens. Although I haven't been told anything in particular, I will be assuming the role of a gun for hire or other covert like roles and in return receive payment from Third Eye.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
No. Just myself.

Which server does this apply for?
Both

Extra Notes (optional):
I understand that while the authorisations that I am asking for may seem extremity in appearance, I have the experience of several years in serious role play and I won't abuse such a privilege. I also acknowledge that this character is likely going to die - hopefully not that too soon however after the time I've put into this application.

Bug Reports / Respawning when untied/setting HC class
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:39:59 PM »
When people are untied they respawn at the default spawn location. When you set your class to 'elite metro police' you also respawn inside of the nexus. I lost the weapons I had equipped when I did it being my ar2 and 9mm pistol.

Don't know if its a one off bug thing and the server needs a reset or anything but yeah.

<::|| Well. After being recruited for a week I can say that I've pretty much enjoyed most of it so far. The uniform, the authority, the attitude - it all seems pretty nice. Still haven't gotten used to the fact that I can't patrol on my own though yet, makes me feel like I have some sort of disability that I have to patrol with another unit. After making up my mind to go NOVA, I need to remind myself to contact the Divisional Leader once more regarding joining. Hopefully he'll let me in.

As for training, well, it seems almost every recruit besides 178 seems to be wrong in the head. Hard to look good when they bring everybody else down with them. ||::>

Civil Authority Applications / Jim Carmine.'s Civil Authority Application
« on: December 15, 2011, 04:42:51 AM »
Jim Carmine.'s Civil Authority Application

OOC Name: Raged.

IC Character Name: Jim Carmine.

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.
Before the Seven Hour War the only real thing that had interested him as a child was law enforcement. Typically, he never reached the age required to join any form of law enforcement due to the portal storms and the coming of the Xen creatures and the Universal Union. With the CCA being now the only governing authority on the whole planet, Jim would rather be one of the few who willingly sacrifice some of their morals in order to survive. In turn for both fulfilling his ideal dream position - he also gains a lot of power in terms of authority; which appeals to many people. So in all, without embarrasing himself, he assisted the Universal Union in several small matters to the best of his abilities in order to clarify his status as being compliant. Not only is it out of self goals, but many of his own friends are doing the exact same thing - so factors of peer pressure also apply.

2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
Really depends on his rank as that determines his level of augumentation. At a Recruit/04/03/02 status however, the bare minimum would be lawful and responsible for his actions.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character.
As I've been in many CCA's in the past, I have a fairly in-depth idea as to what the CCA will be like for myself and my character. While there are more public and well known activities for CCA units such as basic training, the more subtle things also apply to me; such as befriending other units and interrogations and overseering certain activites. The general aspect of being law enforcement however also appeals, especially with the brutality that can be enforced on malcompliant citizens and the like.

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.
The snow falls gently across the breeze from the wind, the sun barely lightning what remains of the snow encrusted park. The swing groans to the breeze of the wind, consistently in tone with the gusts of wind. Looking around himself, he realises he’s alone. The soft crunch of footsteps echoes towards him, positioned directly behind him. Placing his hands on the in graven wood, he turns around to face her. In her hand lies a camera.

The sounds of the trains in the distance accompanied by the gentle rocking of the carriage shake Jim out of his sleep. His eyes still half closed with a combination of sleep and dirt smeared against his face, he manages to pull himself up from the seat and peer out the window. The sun glares down at carriage that he resides in, the scorching heat having already been visible in the damp patches of his clothes that now stuck to the seat. He was surely close now, for he had swapped already through four trains at different cities; yet none of them being his location. City Thirty-Seven, Fourty-One, they all seemed similar yet all were different. Even some of the citizens clothing had variations, yet the blank look on every face was identical. His thinking was suddenly stopped by the train’s brakes that squeaked ferociously as the carriage skidded to a halt. Shortly after, the artificial voice of a female projected itself across the carriage. 'Welcome to City Fourty-Five. All citizens are required to report to the nearest local Civil Protection Unit for CiD allocation immediately.'

The soft padding of his boots squeaked with every step he took, his mind blurred still with sleep and the active buzz of the people around him. Many, like him, had been relocated for reasons unknown to this new city - many of them sharing the same confusion as him. Yet Jim halted as he was confronted by something he hadn't seen for many years, a Vortigaunt in chains; sweeping away with two Civil Protection Units chatting as they guarded the creature. Only giving its attention to Jim for a split second, it then turned its back and continued its work. Looking at it, Jim's attention was soon brought to the screen that flickered above him - and the words that were being said. 'Welcome to City Fourty-Five. It's safer here.'


5) Have you ever had a CCA character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
I co-led the CCA for about three weeks until I went inactive as I was a high ranking administrator in another Serious RP community.

8. Do you consider yourself a good listener?
I do.

« on: December 14, 2011, 10:03:41 PM »
I am Raged. I have done Serious RP on Garry's Mod for 4 years. I have been Head Administrator in numerous communities such as MMOSuite, VStudios, PubGamer and currently serve as Community Manager for InfusionGaming. I have several years worth of experience in leading factions and all that, including various CCA's at different communities. I taught SatN and KMP CCA stuff.

I wouldn't expect me to be fully commited to the community while I have the responsibility of taking care of my own, however I am interested in some of the RP opportunities on HL2RP.
