Voted no. The current map is fine as it is.

The Combine's ultimate purpose is to convert all of humanity into stalkers, and all of the vortigaunts into the slaves they were before Gordon freed them.More important minds are taken to Nova Prospekt, where they are stored in containment and experimented on - the Combine want to get as much knowledge out of humanity as they can before they destroy it. All of these things are leading to a drastic change in the purpose of humanity - it is about to become a slave race.

LMAO this shit is so wrong.

The whole point of the ration chemicals to cause memory loss is for humanity to eventually forget that the Combine invaded and defeated them in a 7 hour war to the point where they can be indoctrinated into the rest of the Universal Union/Combine, like all the other sentient races you've seen in Hl2 that have been modified with synthetic changes (eg striders and gunships are both organic creatures that have been extensively modified, much like overwatch soldiers)

Finally, the Combine begin to drain Earth's oceans. These tasks show that the Combine are preparing Earth for new residents.

actually its because its the valve team trying to be symbolic of the fact that the combine are drilling earth out of all its resources, including water xxxxxxxxxx

Quite frankly, the CWU should be establishing themselves as the ideal body that citizens should look up towards. Kind of like an organised loyalist group. You should be doing everything, and I mean everything that the CCA would want. Obviously you shouldn't turn yourselves into an armed group and start s2k'ing rebels and that shit but selling food and whatnot makes sense. You should just change the system so instead of selling literally everything you've got access to, sell the basics to public citizens and restrict the other stuff for CWU members. Like, allow coffee for example for all citizens to be purchasable (who have contributed to the CWU, probably such as helping with a cleaning workforce or whatever) but then make donuts exclusive to the CWU.

Doing things like organising mini-speeches that are in the CCA's favour and all that would also be considerably interesting. It'd make the CWU more than some sort of care-taker group that is limited in it's roleplay due to the OOC limitations placed on it.

Obviously what Roflwaffle is trying to say is that you should go make your own things. It means that he doesn't want you using his stuff.

Under Lenin's rule, Russia had a far better economy than America did. It had mass production and allowed a lot of jobs for the Russian people. Lenin was the only closest thing to communism, however it was still socialist.

bro, russia lost in the cold war because their economy couldn't keep up with the USA and keep on producing military equipment, as well as taking care of the economic needs of their country.

Neither China or Russia collapsed, they're still socialists today, they did not attempt to promote communism, for if that they did, the people would take the power away from the leaders.

Russia is democratic today actually. You call it socialism but there's still aspects of capitalism in every democratic society eg the fact pay-grades all vary while some people can make vast fortunes and others do not; so calling it socialism isn't correct.

Socialism / Communism was designed to allow people to have power, rather than rich people being allowed to have power. However, the only problem with this system is that it can easily be exploited through abusive leaders.

It proved that everyone can have the same standard of living except for the government who becomes corrupt. That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone had good quality things.

One of the debates in the Cold War between USA and Soviet Russia was the fact that the USA would brag about their lavish kitchens and highly advanced washers in comparison to Russia, who used the argument that at least every single person in their state at least owned a washer.

I'm not going to read through an extra four pages of this nonsense because hardly any of you seem to fully understand what you're talking about. Every government spectrum is flawed, you can argue it one way or another, that doesn't mean communism/socialism is evil nor does it mean it's the ideal structure for every government in today's society.

RSO is caused by the amount of unique entities on the map at a simultaneous time. Lights worsen that problem lots. You fix it by having less props and by using more area portals in your map.
