I was thinking about it, but MMO's are only money whoring games. If it were to be free online maybe, but I don't have the money for all the games coming out. Mainly Skyrim, Halo: Anniversary, Warhammer: Space Marine and a few others coming out soon.
Screw MW3.

I loved the game, collected imp guard, eldar, then orks. Then i finished with it, why arent they painted? Thats probably the 2nd most fun thing in it, having them just gray is boring.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: Crazy idea: HL2 War (rp)

This sounds like something we already have, Outlands, just with much more shooting.
RP and Shooting don't mix well, you'd have to have good RP'ers on both side. Not to mention active admins. It would be too difficult to get going well. It would attract people, but not go well. Nice idea though.

Since usually 10 year olds don't pick the best option when it comes to administration.
The best age, from experience, is about 16+ as you are much more mature and more intelligent. Annoying that the apps are down, but at least this way they can pick the best out of the best to be admins. I myself hope to prove my past experience has given me the ability to administrate and show the admins what I can do.

I agree. The HL2RP server is really top quality. I only play on HL2RP right now, but I'm planning on moving onto your other servers. Hope to see you in-game.

Character name: John Bourne

Civil Identification Digits: 75829

Physical Description: Tall | Blue Clothing | Brown Hair | Loyalist Armband On Right Arm | Blue Eyes

Mental Description (Personality, how he acts, etc, etc.): Organised, neat, smart, keen, motivated.

Detainment history: No detainment history.

Number of Anti-Citizen points: 0

Detailed character background (At least two paragraphs. Cannot have spelling errors):
John was only a young adult when the portal storms struck. He had lost his father to a headcrab attack on his former home. And his mother was ill with the flu. He had to care for his mother whilst also keeping watch for anything that may threaten them. The military were not much help as they had failed to defend his father from the headcrabs. He felt anger towards them, but kept it under control to concentrate on the tasks at hand. He was living in an old abandoned home, with no electricity but flowing water. He had seen creatures pass the house on several occasions, each one ignoring the house. For months he remained there, with quick trips to gather supplies and food. His mother became weaker and weaker as they had nothing to combat her illnesses, until eventually she died. John felt angry at himself for letting his mother die, he blamed himself. But he had to carry on. Now that he could move, he travelled to a nearby town in search for a home.

The portal storms kept raging at the town was often attacked by creatures that killed anyone in their path. Soon the numbers of the town died out, until it was only a few households remaining. John felt that he could gather them together and move out from the town. He organized a meeting between the households and all agreed on moving away from the nearby storm. It wasn't long until the 7 hour war began, John and the group were hiding in a cave they had built into a home. Hidden away from eyes. They only made occasional leaves to collect supplies in groups. Once they saw the war, they hid, for weeks until they were forced to collect supplies. John felt he should go with them, as they stepped out to a barren wasteland with a large city near, they heard helicopters. As they looked up, they noticed that they were being watched. Several ships lowered and collected the group. John awoke in blue clothing with a suitcase carrying more blue clothing and some circular objects. He asked a man next to him where he was, he answered "A train on it's way to City 18."

As the train arrived, they stepped out and John looked around at the masked beings. He wondered what had happened to his group, if they were safe. He attempted to remember, but could not. His DNA was taken and he was given a CID. He was then allocated a room with a mate and began to live his life. In fear of the masked beings, but in hope that he may find his group again. After a few days of living, he noticed a group in different clothing. He asked someone who they were, and they answered "The Civil Worker's Union". John took notice to the men and women in this different clothing and saw that they organized tasks and sold goods to the general public. He felt that he had what it took to become one of them, so he set his mind straight, and became a loyalist.



Why you want to be part of the Civil Worker's Union (Same requirements as above):
I feel that the Civil Worker's Union is an organized and disciplined group. I feel that being a part of them will give me extra responsibility in the server which will allow me to contribute to its well being. The Civil Worker's Union is a group that deals with tasks the CCA hand them and also hand smaller jobs out to the Citizens. Whilst I was attempting to get my loyalist points, a CWU handed me a broom in which I brushed the area around NexHap and gained myself three points. I also noticed a CWU washing the wall to remove propaganda off of it. The RP that they used was of a high quality. I feel that my experience in roleplay will help me prove that I am capable of roleplaying as a Civil Worker in City 18.

I also feel that, as a Civil Worker, the CCA look to you as more than just a citizen. They look to you as a step up from the rest of the population. They treat you better than they would with the average player. They know that you have worked for your position and treat you accordingly. From this treatment I feel that I am compelled to be a Civil Worker to not only show the CCA, but the server that my roleplaying skills are of a high quality and that my grammar skills are also of a high quality. As a Civil Worker, I understand that responsibilities will be placed on my shoulders, which is a reason why I wish to become a worker. This will allow me to prove to the server that I can take pressure and stay calm whilst organizing a task set to me. The responsibility is my own, and nobody elses.



A suggested project for the Workers in the Union:
Having a branch of the CWU as a Medical team who run the hospital. I came up with the idea "Arcturus Helix" but unsure if it was taken into consideration. I had the idea that there would be a branch ran by a manager, with a co-manager. There would then be supervisors and then the general doctors and nurses. They would not only help citizens, but the MPF when required too.



Do you agree to conduct yourself maturely, and in the behaviour befitting a Civil Worker's Union?:
I do. I feel that the Civil Worker's Union is a step up from the general population and so should be much more mature in behavior and looks.



Do you understand the rules you must obey as a Member of the Civil Worker's Union?:
I do.


Accepted - This is a amazing application me and Ice agree'd to accept you before he lost his position, welcome to the team!

IC Chat / Diary Of John Bourne

Diary Entry I

It's been a good few weeks now since my last entry. I've decided to restart the numbers after moving cities. I feel like this place is different, the authority and discipline expected is far greater. I feel as though I've stepped into something great, I finally gathered my five loyalist points. I now have a loyalist band on my arm and show it off proudly. I feel as though I've stepped up in society and that I can only keep going. The ration packs here seem to contain more sustenance then that of City 14. I feel like they make me feel better about the Union than I did before. I feel like they are here to protect us, and keep us safe. I feel as though I have made my mark on a few recruits by cleaning their posts and areas around their posts. They seem to be pleased with me, which is probably the best place to be with them. I haven't much to write at the moment, I guess I'll think of more later. All I can do is just get some more points, and possibly earn some rewards.

OOC Section


OOC Name: Rictalspace

IC Character Name: John Bourne

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.

John has always been passionate about authority. All his life he has wanted to be in a position of authority. However, this was not to be as he failed many attempts at getting into the Police Force as a young adult. His many failures have not altered his attitude towards them however. Once he was moved into City 18, he took notice to the CCA and their actions towards people. He felt that they were his future goal, and so concentrated on their movements and actions in the coming weeks. He kept testing himself on what a unit would do after an action occurred. He made sure he was perfect before attempting to become a loyalist. His ambition for the CCA drove him to strive for greatness. He also took notice to other peoples opinions of them to make sure his view wasn't biased by his ambition for them. This is what has driven him for the past few weeks to do.

John has always wondered what lay behind the giant metal walls. Inside the walls he imagined discipline and authority. He would sometimes dream that he would be one of those units who was ordered to carry out a detainment protocol on an Anti-Citizen. Each time he would think to himself the procedures, what they might be like. He looked at it from every angle, from what he observed from the units outside, and created several scenarios with his imagination. John found those who disobeyed the Union to be mindless beings who were not acting for the greater good. He felt that those who rebelled should be stomped out to keep peace and social stability intact. Those who did not meet the specifications of a perfect citizen should not be worthy of living in the great cities such as City 18.

He wants to become part of something big and enforce the law on those who disobey it. He feels as though his enrollment in the CCA will be an effective and advantageous one. He wants to enforce the law on those who feel that the city is not good enough to them, to those who feel that life is not enough. He wishes to teach each and every one of them the glory of life and why people should cherish it. He plans to do this with an iron fist and let nothing slip though his fingers. Mistakes are not a part of his dictionary, he feels that a failure is something that happens to the weak. That is why he feels he must join the CCA to enforce the iron fist of the CCA over the City to keep society intact.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)

Loyal, Motivated, Keen, Understanding, Ruthless, Lawful.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Combine Civil Authority to be like for you and your character?

I expect the CCA to be difficult for me and my character as we begin our roleplaying journey in the CCA. However I believe that it will ease as we begin to learn and train to become more and more effective. I feel that the roleplaying experience will be one to remember as my character keeps peace in the city and stomps out anything unnecessary to the CCA. I feel that for me, the experience will be tough to learn everything and to keep a cool mind whilst on show to the whole server. I feel that as a CCA, you are what people see in the server, so a good CCA means a strict and co-ordinated server. To get the most out of my roleplaying experience, I must learn until I am perfect at what I do. Practice makes perfect.

For my character, John, it will be a new experience for him as a CCA. He will experience things he has never experienced before and will find it hard to adjust. But with perseverance he will be able to overcome the change and become a unit of greatness. He will eventually gather the information he needs to be a perfect unit and minimize mistakes. At a recruit, he will find it hard to get all his duties done on time and in good condition as he has never experienced something like this before. Once he begins to get the hang of it, the pressure and stress will ease on him as he suits into his new aspect of life. As he hopefully climbs up ranks, he will learn what it truly means to be a CCA unit as he keeps society in peace and halting any anti-civil activity.


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.

John Bourne had a tough life when he grew up, his attempts at greatness were always stomped out by some factor or another. When he was two and had just finished his first Lego tower, his younger brother would come and wreck havoc on it. His life was one of constant failure. His heart became ever weaker as failure after failure appeared at his feet. He began to lose hope on what his future career might be. By the age of twelve, he was in his first year of secondary school. He was new just like the others and wanted a good early foothold in what might drive him to future greatness. However, whilst young, and inexperienced, he was too shy to gain a foothold in his school. He was left out from groups of friends, he studied drama which boosted his confidence. He also studied biology, mathematics and physical education. Several years past as his confidence grew. He felt that his earlier life should not hold him down for the rest of his life, so he always attempted to strive for greatness regardless of the results. He knew that one day he would have his big payoff.

Once he left secondary school with high grades, he had the whole world ahead of him. His ambition then grew for a position of authority as he attempted to join the Police force on several occasions. Each time he would try as hard as he could, but each time things would get in his way. Each failure left him stronger. It was not long until the Portal storms began to strike, and John felt that his future career may not come to fruition. Once the attack started, he took shelter in an underground housing area, hiding for months before he was found and shipped to city 14. Here he was placed into a dusty, dark and wet apartment with another man. Here he lived his life for three months, attempting to gather the new way of life. He noticed the CCA but thought nothing of them. As the months went by, he noticed their actions and how they could keep social stability within minutes of an outbreak. After a good few months, he was shipped to City 18 where he began his new life and took real notice to the CCA and began to become a Loyalist. He was determined to join and nothing would get in his way.
