Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: [Outlands] Time scheduling?
« on: August 26, 2011, 05:53:00 AM »
It USED to have more players in the late afternoon, early evening on the American east coast, however lately, it doesn't at any time from what I've seen.

I really don't like the name Overlord. It just sounds like an elitist person trying to take over the community, and doing whatever he wants just because he's Overlord.

I originally suggested the rank to be Supervisor. I was told it sounded too professional.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: What custom map should I make?
« on: August 17, 2011, 08:10:32 AM »
I strongly disagree, especially with the statement "the ones we need to keep" in reference to city players. Rofl has said many times that he wants balanced playerbases for both the City and Outlands. Therefore, we really ought to get a new Outlands map done, because we will be able to increase the players on there.

What you're basically saying as of the moment is, Outlands is dying let it die. You really ought to be saying "Outlands is dying, let's revive it." Instead, you're just saying "Fuck it." Like any new project, which Outlands is, it's needs some tweaking to make it enjoyable and worthwhile. While the map we have for it is great, it was designed for Taco N' Banana, where their level of roleplay, style of roleplay, and canon is far different than what we have here at Catalyst Gaming, to the extent that I almost regret ever suggesting outercanals.

So while I see your point as to why we need a new city map, I do believe that the Outlands map is more of a priority. However, I really think that - not just with maps but overall - both servers need an equal amount of attention, and all I really see is the city getting attention. You basically make Outlands seem bad. People who play on Outlands are getting the same treatment that lolrebels used to get, when Outlands was specifically designed for people who want to rebel without being tagged as lolrebels.

Overall, those who think the city map is more important, I request you at least give it a little more thought.

I also agree that these ranks serve no purpose. But, they are also offensive to those of us who know autistic people.  Its a serious thing and people think it's a mere joke.
Autism =/= retardation/downs

Uh, wrong sir. Not all people with autism fall under the criteria to be "mentally retarded" ( which is a politically correct term today ). The people you see online with autism usually have a_spergers which is the lowest disorder on the autism spectrum. THEY do not fall under the criteria to be "mentally retarded." However, those with a_spergers only make up somewhere from 30-40% of the population with autism.

I'm sick of people suggesting these 'awesome' things.
They suggest it but they don't have anything helpful other than an idea, if you come back with a map that has all of this, only then I +support this suggestion.

Every project needs a concept designer. Don't be hating.

On-topic : This is far too ambitious imo.

Its dumb. Let the army in and hurt the fuckers. Too bad they've all gone coward now theres police about.

A lot of the rioters are under the age of eighteen. As much as I agree that it's dumb that they are doing this shit, you would give the UK a really bad reputation for allowing the army to "hurt the fuckers" when the "fuckers" are primarily fourteen and fifteen years old.

Just a side-note. That wasn't actually a study at Cambridge. Never happened. And Cambridge actually ended up doing a study to disprove that theory, and it was successful. It is by no means true that in all circumstances you can read words with disarranged letters when the first and last letters are the same, especially when the words are more complex.

Half-Life 2 Roleplay / Re: HL2RP Authorizations Applications
« on: July 28, 2011, 04:39:23 PM »
Player Section

Steam Name: Nikolai
Age: 12
How long have you been Roleplaying? (can be any game): Gee, two years I think.
How long have you been playing Serious GMod RP?:Eight months.

Character Section

Authorization(s): Bachelor's degree in nuclear physics

Name: Hayden MacMillan
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Citizen, soon to be refugee

What has caused your character to require these authorizations?

I guess I'll start with a backstory.

   Hayden MacMillan was born on a snowy day in 1984 at Edinburgh General Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland to Nile MacMillan, an engineer in the Royal Air Force, and Marie MacMillan, a housewife. Hayden's father had worked for the Royal Air Force for the past ten years repairing a conundrum of various different aircraft, particularly small fighters. When Hayden was five, he gained interest in his father's work, and he often went along with his father to watch him work. A year later, Nile suffered a terrible accident. When welding two pieces of metal together, he forgot to put his mask on. When he turned the welding instrument on, the flares flew off the metal and into his face, giving serious burns that would be permanent. Nile was off work for six weeks recovering, and when he went back, he was told he was replaced, and that he was no longer needed. Nile went to work at a coal mine for five years until a premature mesothelioma diagnosis was made. Nile wasn't far into to process of the disease, so he would probably be okay, if he listened to his doctor and quit work, which was where the asbestos causing the development of the disease came from. He ignored his doctor's advice and continued working at the mine for another five years until death, at the age of fourty-six.
   Meanwhile, Hayden was sixteen and progressing through highschool swell. He wasn't star student, but he wasn't far from it. He maintained an A minus average for most of his classes until graduation. Hayden wasn't sure what line of work he wanted to get into. He had worked at the coal mine when not in school, for the past two years to maintain income. But he didn't want to remain at the coal mine, seeing how it killed his father. So, Hayden quit his job at the mine, and got a job at a local hot dog joint. He was happy with his work, because he felt his mother needed the help with income, after she took a job as a nurse at EGH. However, when his mother learned that he was only keeping the job for her, she secretly got a loan from the local bank for Hayden to go to college. Hayden wasn't sure what he wanted to study, and he thought hey may want to go into the field of engineering, but he soon found his calling. After watching and reading about nuclear physics and nuclear engineering he was soon interested. He took up a major in nuclear physics and a minor in nuclear engineering at Ottawa University in Ottawa, Canada, and stayed in college for four years, gaining a bachelor's degree.
   After completing college, he returned to Scotland. A representative of the Royal Navy was looking through files of former engineers, and came across Nile's. He dug further and noticed that Hayden was Nile's son, and seeing his credentials, he pulled some strings and got Hayden enlisted into the Navy as a nuclear engineer, working on developing nuclear submarines and weapons to be launched from them when necessary. During the Seven Hour War, Hayden was lucky to not be killed, because he wasn't considered active, and therefore wasn't deployed.
   Hayden keeps his work private, afraid that his credentials may make him a target of interest to the Combine. He is currently working on a devise powered by uranium that, if it worked, may be able to take down Combine technology within a defined radius for short amounts of time.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Knowledge about nuclear physics and nuclear engineering, and the ability to recognize and be able to work with nuclear material, given the proper circumstances.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
ICly work on developing said radar blocking weapon.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
No.

Extra Notes (optional):

When you find uranium, make another auth to explain how you found it in a stable condition without killing yourself with radiation. It's also only been one year since the war so work on this project wouldn't be too far in.
Accepted with changes ~Statua

Ahhh, the benefits of having former TnB members here.

Locking this thread due to the amount of unserious posts that are being made. If an SA or Overlord disagrees with this then unlock it , but rather than snip every single post, I found this better.

I don't think we've thought this through  :P
What about this resistance also???
We haven't sorted this out yet....

We've thought this through. Just not publicly. This has been in preparation for about a month. It's all thought through.
