Title: Authorization Applications Discussion thread (Comments/questions/etc here!!!)
Post by: Sexy Frog on March 15, 2014, 10:30:03 AM
So are we not going with the Auth tier system that was brought up a while back, or is that still being worked out?

I'm not sure. But we need auths. People are making ex black Mesa characters. People need auths for ic experience such as surgeons. There's no time left to waste.

For the tier system though i was just thinking of throwing the flowchart on this page and players can just go through it to see if they need auths, or if they can just have whatever it is they want, but be prepared to explain it when asked by administration.

..what

You are not allowed to be able to use "magic". It's pretty unrealistic, doesn't fit in the HL2RP universe and it is also on the list of restrictions for auths.

who is this "pi" guy because I am not sure that he understands how auths work

I believe he is referring to "would you like some 3.1415926" or whatever his name is.  Anyhow, I agree with Statua even if he doesn't quite understand.  Swagile said "Magician" not "wizard", so I think it is safe to assume he is not going to be casting magic missiles anytime soon.  So long as it's sleight-of-hand or card tricks and the like, I have see no real need for auths unless he gets an unfair advantage with it.

possibly, but wasn't sure considering he said "magic" as a term for what his character would do. "Magician" title is fine, and so is being being skilled in sleight of hand / illusions / similar, but I'd avoid using the term "magic" for that.. Would not surprise me if someone actually tried to get auths for that kind of magic.

But, yeah, sleight of hand, tricks, illusions, etc is fine with not having an auth application as long as you don't gain an unfair advantage with it.

Also, off topic yet on topic, I edited the OP to be more general:

Instead of "Special/Psychic Powers", I changed it to "Supernatural Powers" for more clarity.

I also edited "No Black Mesa employees/knowledge" to include Aperture Science.

Why aren't we using the form system like the rest of the applications we have on the forums?

Back off topic, did I just call apex Statua?


I'm a horrible person, please forgive me  :'(


On topic, we seriously need an auth apps board.  I find it unfair that people trying to post their applications have to try and get it noticed over everyone else talking about something completely different.

This is here until someone can set up the previous system.

Might as well wait until the official form system is put up.

while we get the form up, do you mind if I post my auth application here?
Title: Re: Authorization Applications
Post by: Statua on March 15, 2014, 06:17:46 PM
That's why the thread was made.

Split topic into two. Keeping actual applications and discussion/questions/etc separated.

So discuss here! and ONLY post applications in the stickied one.

Post by: Elions on March 16, 2014, 04:23:53 PM
So... Any comments on the current auth applications? :T

Honestly putting ALL auth apps in 1 thread just doesn't work. Because how would you comment on them without making a huge mess out of that thread? How hard is it to make a new sub board, grrr...

Well, we only have a couple of auths at the moment and the players who have them are pretty notable name wise, so you could comment on it here by calling out their name or even quoting the auth and leaving it on a spoiler underneath.

We did it for half a year when they first came out. Look into the archives.

So... Could I get any comment on my auth, please? I'd like to know if I should change something on it or not
