The only real problem that comes to mind for me is the good ol' CCA/Citizen favoritism situation. What I mean by that is (as any hl2rp-frequent players will know) that most players prefer to play as the CCA rather then the Citizens, making it so citizenrp is scarce. If the Zombies/Survivors are underdeveloped and boring then the playbase will favor one side over the other. What that will lead to is either not many survivors or, god forbid, a zombie apocalypse without any zombies.
Most of the 'zombie' faction are actually just NPCs spawned randomly. The 'special' infected are the players.

Long long ago in a galaxy much like this one, I was a CmD for 2 days. Before it was actually fun. I wasn't allowed to leave the nexus 
it's still not fun dont worry
implying it was ever fun cmd is the worst rank in the cca

Here's my idea. A southern European city that's been obviously destroyed by Union forces, and has been left vacant for four plus years. Over that period of time, the city has been flooded and overgrown with an extreme amount of vegetation. tHat'd combine a ruined city with a kind of 'jungle' feel, kind of my interpretation of what Redrum was hinting at.
While it's not European, very close to what you're getting at. good example yes

\\ There really is no alternative to how you can rp a HC Unit, as you're expected to do things that have a varying effect on people.
Why does everyone keeps saying HC if they're referring to S0?
Anyways, I disagree 100%. S0 has acted nice towards units before and it's not really a bad thing. I guess you're going to say "You're only OfC" (Which is why I don't get why you say HC instead of S0) but 280 is nice to the units he likes and isn't to the units he doesn't like. It's never bit me in the ass before, because it's realistic. ICly I was friends with many of the units that are in (and some out) of my division, and it wouldn't make sense for 280 to start yelling at them for no reason when he considers them friends. He will still yell at them sometimes, but not as much as units he doesn't like/isn't friends with. As far as I know, there aren't people who go out of their way to avoid RP with 280, so the way I see it, it's completely possible to do your job and at the same time make it so people aren't scared shitless of you and are forced to RP with you.
In all honesty I wasn't scared of 031, I just avoided RP with him because he was annoying and a pain in my ass. Not to mention he held training sessions where all of the admins got in vent together, and then you yelled out IRL military commands that none of us ever heard of, and then yelled at us when we got them wrong just so you guys could have a laugh (And simultaneously waste our time). If people avoided 031, in my personal experience, it wasn't because he was scary. He was simply annoying. (Don't mean any of this personally or as flame, just my honest opinion, and the opinion of a few other units I've talked to.)
It's habit from my perspective, really. It just generalizes everything. Good job, you're going through the medium. It's just the higher you get in rank, the harder it is to maintain. Eventually you'll narrow your friends down to OfCs/01s and eventually (if you stay in as long as I did) they'll leave, get promoted or just get demoted. Once you reach that stage, you begin doing things like I did because you can't approach anyone because of the reputation you unconsciously built, and by the time you realize you straight out can't approach anyone, you just give up and turn into the "I hate everyone" HC S0. I take no offence, don't worry. I knew I was being annoying, and I purposely was annoying. The lack of things to do when you're an all-combat oriented unit when there's no combat is very little, so to generally pass time I would annoy Units in character as to show my boredom. It was mostly due to the 'no weapons in city' phase that last for what, 3 months. So there was a IC motive behind the annoying things I did, I just never really told anyone because they never asked.

Well what would you propose as an alternative? Swagger around dishing out nonsensical acts of violence at random? Deal out blackmarks like cards in poker? I'm not saying be 'good guy greg' all the time. Just saying that units will always perform to a fuller extent if they actually like their leader. If a unit is scared of their leader then it forces them to do things, this can lead to units going rogue or becoming seriously damaged. While that ties well with HL2RP, it would be quite a grind to have every HC of the CCA being essentially the same thing.
It's utterly impossible to be perfect, but the best you can do is find a good medium between each. I tried to find that medium but I was so far down the track of 'dickassholeholyshit' that I couldn't recover. There really is no alternative to how you can rp a HC Unit, as you're expected to do things that have a varying effect on people.

Pro tip: Units won't be afraid of you/actively avoid to rp with you if you're a nice guy aswell as a great leader. If you stomp around, shout at everyone or go out of your way to scare everyone regardless of if they deserve it, then people will not want to be near you. Not saying any of the current S0 do that or nothing. Simply a pro tip.
A pro tip that ends up getting you killed half the time. Trying to be a 'nice guy' when you're expected to be cracking down on Units for screwing up, training them so they can actual perform anything and all the bits in between is a tad hard. Speaking from experience, whenever I tried to be 'nice' it backfired massively because that Unit that I was being nice to proceeded to stab me in the back for it. Another time I tried to be nice 031 actually died. Luckily he was revived shortly after, but nonetheless, acting 'nice' gets you nowhere once you get past OfC. Seriously, being nice is the same as being a dick, you always end up dead or ignored in the end.

As a High Command unit, I will say that 280 doesn't feel restricted. I've had room to develop him as a character. ICly he's never been brainwashed/wiped/whatever. He's hardened, and that's because he's taken many people's lives (Including his friends) in his time in the CCA. He remains loyal to the Union due to his backstory. (If you care enough, you can look up Adelmo Sucre's CCA app)
you dont feel restricted because you're still only an ofc

If you were to come up with a theory of why this has not been replied to for (By my knowledge) months, what would it be?
i dont exist to people, or generally im ignored 75% of the time
Many people have said that Catalyst-Gaming continuously goes 'down hill' so to speak, do you agree with those people?
its a roller coaster, it will never stay in one direction. while at the moment it seems to be going down, it's just slowly trying to crawl back up at the same time
Do you find it creepy that I found this thread by searching through your entire post list?
yes... actually.
(Just curious, and haven't seen this asked in this yet or anywhere else so...) How old are you?
16 as of may 30th this year.
The picture of you was removed (says my iPad) from the 'post pictures of yourself here' thread. Why is that?
because i probably cleaned out my photobucket and it got deleted
Do you enjoy answering questions, and if so, are mine included?
yes, and yes. nobody asks questions so i like to answer them
I have not seen you on the servers for...A very long time ( ) and I was wondering if I am missing some thread you made, you actually stopped playing (as much) or if I am just on at the wrong time.
well... i don't really enjoy hl2rp as much as I used to. Actually, I stopped enjoying it after about 2 months of being a CmD. The only thing i can really RP to a good level was CCA, and it's just plain boring now. On top of that, im the only aussie admin, so I don't really need to administrate as much as the others, as there's no-one on whenever I'm online. So... yeah.
Would you like to talk on steam more often? (I am asking this because - from previous 'chats' with you, you did not seem too interested)
I don't seem interested because you always message me when I'm about to play a game its really just down to terrible timing
I love your new forum profile picture. (Incase you change it before you answer this, the dancing toy dog thing  )
yes, i love it too. gir from invader zim, one of my fav shows.
Do you mind me being inquisitive of what some may call your 'personal life'?
i hardly do anything off my computer. all i really do is play games, go to school and go out every now and then. very boring life, tbh, but i enjoy it.
I am unsure of what type of games you like. Explain, if you may?
Mainly just grand strategy games. I normally play Crusader Kings 2 or Hearts of Iron 3 now-a-days. Sometimes I play through some of my Total War games.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel free to ignore some of these questions if you do not want to answer them. I am noting this because I do not know you very well yet, - hence the reason I am posting this - so I don't know whether or not you would...'appreciate' these.
This concludes this series of questions, and I hope you will answer these soon enough.
answers in the legnd boald.

The closet thing I can imagine to being a museum is a Consul with a reserved room to hold his collection of paintings or something.
This idea just seems like a purely aesthetic feature and would probably cause a massive increase in point hoarding to get your name on a sheet of paper. Doesn't seem worth it.

Have you heard of 3DS max program made by autodesk? I'm not aware of it's functions per say, but I heard it allows more customization to modeling.
http://usa.autodesk.com/3ds-max/
I used 3ds in the past, not my cup of tea. I find it too... impractical. Over-complicated. Plus I don't think the texturing can work as well in 3ds max as it does in blender, but it can get a cleaner finish to a model.
