I don't want to sacrifice HL2RP for this. It really doesn't seem like a good idea to throw it all away for.

Call me a pessimist but I can see this thing being big on the first week, handled poorly then we loose the population in a month or two. I never really liked epidemic rp much.

same character but its shared by 3 ooc people - if one is playing it and it gets pk'd then all 3 are pk'd

yes but sexy frog says it's 'very much the same character' implying that there'll be a difference somehow

yeah I think he's just using the wrong words, it will probably be all the same

Outside City 45 / Re: Item Spawns in Outlands
« on: April 12, 2013, 03:24:00 AM »
I do believe a system of random item drops was in the process of being implemented, but let me just tell you this. That is not how you should be spending your time on the server. You do not need weapons or items to roleplay, and searching for an RL hour for them is very bad roleplay. You'd have had a much better time roleplaying then wandering around the forests looking for stuff, and doing that from an IC perspective doesn't make any sense unless you're roleplaying while doing so.

This is an absolutely absurd viewpoint with respects to Outlands RP.  It makes no sense for anyone in HL2 Outlands RP to have no items, especially not a firearm.  Even if you want every single player to roleplay as a newly-escaped citizen, this concept still does not fly.  There are simply too many dangers for any human being to survive without a basic firearm, or someone in their group possessing a firearm.  The average person does not know how to forage for food in the wilderness.  It is impossible to do any sort of large-scale agriculture on post-Combine Earth due to the existence of overbearing Combine.  With the presence of many nasty creatures from Xen and other worlds that came to Earth via the Cascade Resonance (Antlions, Headcrabs, and et cetera nasties from HL1 that were lazily exempted from HL2), it likewise makes no sense how someone could survive with absolutely nothing after escaping the city.  And ask yourself this: would you really be able to escape a Combine city, or even conceive of doing so, without any sort of supplies?

While I understand that character development is of the utmost importance, there are incontrovertible material needs for this sort of roleplay.  To deny this imposes conditions upon characters so heavily against the odds that they are as unreasonable.

You don't /need/ items to roleplay- but I can see you're arguing from an IC perspective so I'll put it this way. It's meant to be hard to obtain these items, hell I had to go out of my way to get my first weapon in Outlands. There are supplies like food and medical supplies around in the town and various outposts around the map. All you have to do is walk up to people and offer to buy/trade in most cases. As for weapons, you're faaaar better off getting a melee weapon and working up some familiarity with it.

Oh jesus... Oh god...

**Dallas vomits up projectile supports all over the application.

Oz can handle it, no question about it.

If it's 4' tall, why are you using the 8' tall Dog model?

as apposed to the 4 foot model we have for a robot
I'm confused. Educate me please.
we don't have a 4 foot tall robot model, the only one we could use for a robot is the DOG model, smt was using clever reversal of your question

Spoiler for Hiden:

All the points raised are completely valid. I won't support this application. Sorry but you really need to make this far more detailed- I don't even think you even mentioned which branch he joined...

Inventive application. I spoke with Yak about what he intends to do with the robot and he won't be strapping AR2s and grenade launchers onto it. So that means I'll support this application.

86
+Support yeah. This has been here a while so I'll try and find an SA willing to give a verdict.

87
Hello yes, have my support. I'll get it from my self-replenishing bag of supports.

+support

Alrighty then.

Read through the revised story and I don't see much to argue against: it had decent length, the grammar was acceptable and the story held me enough. Though, I would like you to go back and capitalize your 'I's as you do tend to neglect that on the forum and in RP. Once that is done, I'll give my support.

As it stands, a single sentence will not suffice, therefore I will not be inclined to accept this application. Please add more details about what you intend to do with TT, perhaps you could give an example of an rp scenario where you would use it to benefit the scene.

I'd like you to elaborate on what you would use TT for as interior design is a rather generic answer to put.
