Social Discussion / SOPA and PIPA
« on: December 22, 2011, 01:34:43 PM »
Alright, if you're not aware about SOPA and PIPA then i reccomend either reading about it or watching this very informative video by Totalbiscuit (the video belongs to him not me)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhwuXNv8fJM

Basically, Sopa has the potential to kill the internet
And people are saying that, as it's aimed at potential copyright danger zones, it has the ability to kill Youtube, Facebook, Blogs and perhaps more importantly...gaming

I know it sounds stupid but, as video games provide the obstacle of Copyright downloading and pirating and as such means the bill can remove it.

We're talking about the end of everything we love

If that ain't scary, I don't know what is

Also - TB Was right at the time of posting this video, but the bill has been pushed back to next year for an undisclosed reason

IC Chat / The City Conspiracy
« on: December 13, 2011, 07:22:47 AM »
OOC:It's good to be back, as many of you may or may not remember I started a thread on this forum entitled: The City 45 Conspiracy. This was my, if you will, Magnum Opus and it was a short Rp story entitling a conspiracy tale in the city of HL2RP
I never got round to finishing that story unfortunately, and I took a sort of leave from CG thanks to life interventions
But I never forgot and never forgave myself for leaving it unfinished
And so, I present Completed and Ready: The City Conspiracy


Chapter 1  Welcome to the City – Population decreasing

--City 45--Date Unknown--Around Midday--
A body is lying in the Combine Civil Housing Apartment 2A, no signs of weapon violence other than a mark on his head most likely caused by a blunt object, though none are in the area which appears to have been used.

The body is of a young man around 30, Caucasian and an all round regular civilian.
(Citizens) Many know him as a rather rebellious citizen; he has always been talking about joining the rebellion and fighting for freedom
(Civil Protection) A man with 3 counts of propaganda and one dropped count of alleged violence towards a citizen which turned out to be a false claim, merely the man yelling threats but no actual violence was committed

The apartment has been wrecked, the place is a mess and there are objects everywhere...including an out of place book hidden under the bodies arm, well placed and most likely placed there by the murderer.

The Book: - The city 20 rebellion
The book depicts the infamous city 20 rebellion and how the combine were overthrown before a public demonstration by the rebels on TV's in most if not all cities, one page has been bookmarked in particular:

The rebellion attacks eventually pressed on to the Nexus building where the Combine Civil Protection made a last stand to defend the Administrator of the city, though it was almost totally in vein as mere moments later, the rebellion strike force penetrated the defences and arrived in the administration room where the city administrator was captured and tortured by his captors.

Despite the attempts of the combine to get the administrator back, the rebels publicly executed the Administrator with the infamous "Speech of the Damned":

The combine grip on all cities can be shattered! The courage in our hearts shall slay all who dare oppress peace and justice! We are the damned! We are the last hope! We are the combines reckoning! Anticitizens, Rebels and scum! Unite and rebel! Rebel!!

(Some of the words have been underlined by a black pen)

(More chapters coming soon! Have to post them seperately, can't fit the full story on one post. Feel free to discuss the story in between chapters, and thanks for the support to both original and new readers)

Introductions / Hi again!
« on: December 13, 2011, 06:39:11 AM »
Hello guys, it's Dood again
It's been a long holiday hasn't it?

I assume most of you have forgotten me, and I cannot blame you at all but my life has been encroaching on my free time, what with exams schoolwork and all manners of hell raining on my life
I think now though, at least over the holidays, I will have a lot more free time on my hands and I should be able to get re-aquainted with my favourite gaming community

Also a quick note:
The City 45 Conspiracy - AKA The dead thread, the story is officially dead and gone it seems and i think we've all accepted it won't be an event as many of the readers wanted
But I refuse to leave the story without an ending, I will finish it in my own way

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Civil Protection 021
« on: September 21, 2011, 04:28:31 PM »
I apologise for this but I would in the very least like to get some straight facts
My civil protection character has disappeared in the character selection screen on HL2rp

I assumed at first this was just because I have been inactive on HL2RP for quite some time, but someone told me OOC that might not be the case, in fact that it probably is not the case

I would like to know if anyone knows the reason behind this and if it's possible to re-claim my cp in a sense

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Crazy idea: HL2 War (rp)
« on: August 25, 2011, 01:40:21 PM »
I came up with an idea which started out as a bit of a joke, but then I started wondering to myself
"What if i took this seriously?" And I developed this idea which though still crazy and stupid, became a very fun and interesting idea to develop and further.

A version of HL2RP based on a rebellion
The basic setting:
A city somewhere on earth a rebellion uprising has begun and now the city is locked in a damn near endless war between the combine and rebels vying for control of the war torn city.
Players can be rebels or combine and work in teams to fight over control of the city

The battle:
Both teams must traverse the city and battle for control over key areas, like control points which results in battles where the teams must stand on the point until it becomes theirs, and there are multiple control points all over the map which will work as little objectives to make the fighting meaningful, not just a minge paradise

Flaw:It's not RP
FIX: For the spawn areas of each team as well as other areas, there is anti-pvp and the enemy team can't get in. In this area roleplay can become the main aspect and passive roleplay can be enjoyed
Flaw: Unfair teams, domination
Fix: Perhaps each team gets boosts when outnumbered?
Flaw: New players, how will they adapt if they're getting shot?
Fix: Perhaps new players are granted immunity but no weapons and using this they can explore the city on their own and adapt, and also train with their faction for roleplay and learning. Then when they're ready they loose immunity and gain weapons,a sort of "training wheels" system
Flaw: Spawn killing
Fix: Mr banhammer

As for the feeling of accomplishment I was thinking that every so often as an event perhaps the main bases would be open to attack so that the teams can attack and take control of an enemy base ultimately resulting in victory for one team which would earn them a prize, right before the map restarts to begin the war anew.

While this is a fun little discussion where our heads can run wild, don't worry, I don't expect this to become a gamemode
Feel free to discuss and suggest things for flaw fixes or point out flaws and we can add to this perhaps making it seem more pro or just let our imaginations go crazy thinking we're actually designing a gamemode

Thanks for reading and not trolling
Trolls GTFO
Peace

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Question: Civil Protection flags
« on: July 17, 2011, 04:35:32 PM »

As a civil protection unit does that entitle you to pet flags?
If so, should I get it at RCT rank
Because i see lots of civil protection with props and i they say CP's should have the flags alreayd, but i havent been given such flags as of yet

General Discussion / TF2 Insanity (movie project)
« on: July 01, 2011, 12:48:42 PM »
So, I make TF2 movies on youtube
And I've been planning a little project for a bit now (aside from sniper and the spy 2) in which I just film a few TF2 funny skits in the style of the gmod idiot box
I originally was to make it a single man project with some help at home from friends, but I have since been inspired differently
In short, CG is an amazing gaming community, one of the best I've seen and well I thought it would be fun to get this great community involved
So I hereby present to you the thread FOR
TF2 Insanity
Filming will either occur on random servers with the right map and replay capabilities or on the official CG TF2 server (If it can record replays) where either alone or with you guys I will film some skits and mad happenings for the vid

If you have any sugestions please put them in this thread, all if not 95% will be used in the video if they are posted before its release
Also, no actor application needed! Just gimme an skit, actor number or whatever and I'll see about arranging a filming time for the skit
Here's to hoping nobody screws it up :/
Thanks in advance to those who help
And yes I'm still working on the city 45 conspiracy

IC Chat / The City 18 Conspiracy: Actor Applications
« on: June 23, 2011, 04:57:09 PM »
The city 18 conspiracy in game event is a-go!
However, if the roleplay is going to work we're going to need people who can work as actors for the series, we only need a handful to be honest but a few nonetheless

Actors will need
To be sensible and stay in roleplay
To be able to kjeep the plot to themselves, we don't want spoilers of any kind

Actors will get
POSSIBLY Powers or whitelists for the event, Yankee will decide that
Early spoilers of the city 18 plot and ending, so be sure you can handle a secret
The chance to play through the roleplay as a villain or world actor, but usually only for a few moments
After you have acted your part there is nothing stopping you from joining in the event with the other players discovering the storyline along with them and joining the fun
Just don't spoil it (We may not give full storyline details if the part doesn't ask for it)

If there is anything else you need to be notifed of me and Yankee Samurai will be watching over this thread

Applications are Open

We don't have much of a format (yet) but we expect professional entries
There are a few main parts most of which can be found on the forum thread for the city 18 conspiracy found in the IC Chat of the HL2RP forums
Of the actors we need some are:
The combine who alert the CCH during the exogen breach, this can be more than one person
The complaining citizen reporting the 'mysterious man' in sector 6
The combine adressing that citizen
The Mysterious man in sector 6

General Discussion / Mock The Web
« on: June 22, 2011, 04:52:19 PM »
Based on the hit British comedy show:

This Forum is a thread "Game" of sorts, lots of mini rounds will be posted every week or so and people shall participate in these rounds but this isn't any old game
You see, this game is all about the comedy so it's a chance to get loose and play the game while giving everyone else a laugh rather than trying to win all the time
Each game will hold rules
But these are the overall rules, please abide by them when playing:
1) We allow racist comments TO AN EXTENT. We don't want downright brutal attacks on a race, we only want jokes. If it is a joke which only uses a racist comment, but is intended ONLY as a joke and isnt too bad we will allow it
It is a good idea to put some sort of comment like (No offence intended, sorry if it offends anyone) or something like that
Racist comments will be removed and probably reported
2) We're all trying to have fun so, a bit of friendly banter is ok and even the small remark about another person isn't minded but we don't want hurtful comments of trolling or downright brutal attacks on a person.
3) Trolls GTFO
4) Have fun



Round 1 starts right now!
Round One: Headliners
So in headlines in the news around about this week (22 June)
We have a headline IN CATALYST GAMING about Dr Breen from HL2RP
But what does
B.D.C.A.P Stand for?
At this stage just make jokes and try to be funny as possible, this will earn you "points"

B.D.C.A.P
Is it in fact everything Britain didn't have when we went to war?
Bombs-Dicks-Choppers-Airplanes-People!
(i know I fail at being funny but the idea is you come up with something)

Introductions / Dood's Introduction
« on: June 18, 2011, 01:08:48 PM »
Hello everyone

I've been with catalyst gamign a while so this isn't really a first introduction, but I thought I may as well do this
You may already Know Me as UNIFORM.RCT.021 or the brains behind the City 45 Conspiracy series I've been doing in the IC Chat section

Thats basically all you need to know right now, other than I am exactly what it says in my signature
I'm pretty terrible at games but I play them for fun and that's all that matters
But I'd like to think I'm an excellent roleplayer, mainly because it doesnt involve trying to get the most kills

If you have any questions feel free to ask

IC Chat / The City 45 Conspiracy
« on: June 04, 2011, 10:51:47 AM »
(OOC) I wasn't sure if this would go well in suggestions or IC Chat but I decided this may be the best place for it, if any admins or other people believe this or anything else is in any way in the wrong place or otherwise inappropriate I apologise and I will attempt to rectify such problems when I can
A crazy idea for an event which kept me entertained for a while!


--City 45--Date Uknown--Around Midday--
A body is laying in the Combine Civil Housing Appartment 2A, no signs of weapon violence other than a mark on his head most likely caused by a blunt object, though none are in the area which appear to have been used.

The body is of a young man around 30, caucasian and an all round regular civillian.
(Citizens) Many know him as a rather rebellious citizen, he has always been talking about joining the rebellion and fighting for freedom
(Civil Protection) A man with 3 counts of propoganda and one dropped count of alleged violence towards a citizen which turned out to be a false claim, meerely the man yelling threats but no actual violence was comitted

The appartment has been wrecked, the place is a mess and there are objects everywhere...including an out of place book hidden under the bodies arm, well placed and most likely placed there by the murderer.

The Book:-  The city 20 rebellion
The book depicts the infamous city 20 rebellion and how the combine were overthrown before a public demonstration by the rebels on TV's in most if not all cities, one page has been bookmarked in particular:

The rebellion attacks eventually pressed on to the Nexus building where the Combine Civil Protection made a last stand to defend the Administrator of the city, though it was almost totally in vein as mere moments later, the rebellion strike force penetrated the defenses and arrived in the administration room where the city administrator was captured and tortured by his captors.

Despite the attempts of the combine to get the administrator back, the rebels publicly executed the Administrator with the infamous "Speech of the Damned":

The combine grip on all cities can be shattered! The courage in our hearts shall slay all who dare opress peace and justice! We are the damned! We are the last hope! We are the combines reckoning! Anticitizens, Rebels and scum! Unite and rebel! Rebel!!

(Some of the words have been underlined by a black pen)

--End of Part 1--
(OOC) I have to come up with some ways to follow on after this so, I hope you liked this little lead up of suspense to get ready for the next part, don't worry: The next few parts should be a lot better than this crud
Still, comment and let me know what you think of "The city 45 Conspiracy so far" Or maybe start a comment discussion about your predictions of this mini-series

Peace off
