Immersion- I can agree on this, however, I only use OOC when people ask questions. A simple OOC limit rise would do, but people get pissy at that.
Suggestions- They never get done because there is no HL2RP developer, or the suggestions are picky topics.
Minges- I can't really say anything rather than that there will always be minges, there is no way to get around it.
Guns- Not many people, in reality, have guns in D6. While Outlands has less than canon, IC weapons make up for this.
Communication Between Admins- This is the only real thing I can agree upon. While I am not an admin myself, I cannot directly see the communication, however, I do talk to admins frequently, and can indirectly notice the poor communication.
Communication
How do you know? Do you have access to the admin section of the forums?
@Statua: On the point of CG's canon...CG's canon consists of "the kids died" and "combine invasion was two years ago". I've literally heard of no other backstory except that we're in wherever we are...Romania?
And when was the last time we had an event? It's been a while...lets have one...Oh hey wait, admins seem to get demoted every damn time we have an event so lets scrap that.
Ok here my 2000 cents:
Canon
Why do we have to follow it perfectly? For one, a perfectly followed canon makes up for a very boring disorganized game. Two, adding non canonical stuff makes it more interesting and brings more players in.
Immersion
OOC is getting better and yes, disabling it is not a good idea. Anyone who says "Herpaderp disable ooc" lacks the logic required to understand anything thats going on.
Suhgestions
Yes i agree on this. If we dont have a dev for HL2RP then why isnt there an effort being but in to find one? I dont see anyone asking me if I could help. Youd be surpeised what some of us can do.
Minges
They will always exist. Administrators need to learn that being an admin means less RP and more administration. That bothers me
Guns
Just do more sweeps and PK more people woth guns. If theyre dumb enough to get caught then they deserve a PK as they lack a major skill in coty rebel rp which is secrecy.

When you disable OOC it shouldn't include LOOC
if ( self.classes[class] ) then
filter = self.classes[class].filter;
elseif (class == "pm" or class == "ooc" then
filtered = (NX_CONVAR_SHOWOOC:GetInt() == 0);
filter = "ooc";
else
filtered = (NX_CONVAR_SHOWIC:GetInt() == 0);
filter = "ic";
end;fix'd, easy as fuck ^_^Don't fucking disable OOC entirely, that's retarded. Maybe apply a user-unique message per minute ban, but not all of OOC.There's always been the ability for EVERY player to do 'aura_showooc 0' to turn off OOC Chat and what not, some people are just annoyed by it.

I agree with BB's line of thinking. Although the god damn minges are getting out of hand one night all I saw in chat for a min. was OOC and ban orders. And the CCA should not be held back to much from giving punishments the CCA don't give a fuck about the civies and as such should be allowed to beat the shit out of them. And also we do need a better way of dealing with new players not kicking them all the time for stupid things that they did not know about. We need to gently help them along not beat the shit out of them OOC I mean damn people...
That simple code you read does not remove OOC, it only disables if NX_CONVAR_SHOWOOC is false.Don't fucking disable OOC entirely, that's retarded. Maybe apply a user-unique message per minute ban, but not all of OOC.There's always been the ability for EVERY player to do 'aura_showooc 0' to turn off OOC Chat and what not, some people are just annoyed by it.
Oh? Then people should be aware of that because, whilst OOC can be annoying, removing it just isn't a good idea.
Since I don't really have anything different to say about the other topics, I'm just going to stick to canon with this post. Let's get started...Basically summed it all up on the canon part.
People who complain that CG doesn't abide by canon;here's what I have to say to you. I really, really hate to break it too you, but if you wanted to base the server entirely off of what Valve's provided you through the actual game, it'd go nowhere. It would be the same game, same scenario over and over again. If you actually decided to use some form of logic every once and awhile, not every single thing that happens in the Half-Life 2 universe is the exact same as what goes on throughout the game of Half-Life 2. For one thing, City 17 is the Union's seat of power on Earth; they'd obviously have it much more well protected and managed then the rest of the planet. They're obviously not going to have weak people representing their seat of power, so it'd make sense the CCA throughout the game are complete hardasses. My second point would be the complaints about all the insane and stupid m urderers/rapists/cultists/insane people that are around the server. If I'm correct in this statement, we're only, what, a few years into the Combine's occupation of Earth? They wouldn't have killed off all those people at this point. This brings me into my third and final point. Half-Life 2 occurs much later than where we are now. Seeing as this is a factor, the CCA and the Union would not be as powerful as they are in the game and wouldn't have as strong of a grip on humanity.
There's my 2 cents I guess. Feel free to make corrctions on my canon, it'd be akward if you did.
DBK, I'll address a little snippet of your repost regarding how the SeC/admins should be chosen for HL2RP.This is a garry's mod community, not a government. We're not going to be running it like one.
I'd gladly give up all power I have to a leader who is elected in a completely democratic way that involves and values the opinions of all gamers in the community equally and fairly. I'm all for democracy, don't get me wrong.
This is a garry's mod community, not a government. We're not going to be running it like one.
REALLY? The only fucking thing I've restricted is sweeps. How is that restricting everything?This is a garry's mod community, not a government. We're not going to be running it like one.
Exactly, so start running it like a COMMUNITY where we all matter and where you aren't making random dumb decisions that result in a lesser experience for us all. So far, you haven't presented anyone with the ability to lift us out of this stale, shite roleplay, so let us choose someone ourselves. With such a populated server, we have the ability to create something great, so I'd like to think you'll realise that, instead of discarding the idea for no good reason at all.

I agree with BB and DBK here.Here we go again...
Also, permabanning people based on 0 evidence is no way to run things.
Yes, I mean me, and I bet smt can agree with that statement.

While I firmly believe that the community should be able to give input, and see results from their input, running a democracy on a Garry's Mod server doesn't work.
Let's face it: The Garry's Mod community is a bunch of stuck up teenagers who think they are a lot more mature than they really are. It's a bunch of people who think they know what they are doing, but really don't have a fucking clue. It's full of people who think they know what's best, but really don't. If Rofl left everything up to the community, and every decision was made based off a vote by the community, it would crash and burn. The Garry's Mod community (Yes, even CG) is overall not mature, or intelligent enough to know what it takes to run a server.
That being said, I'm not saying that Rofl should make decisions for his own good, and his own good alone. I think that listening to community input is very important, actually. I'm saying that people can't flip every time someone makes a decision without clearing it with the entire community.

You sir are a hypocrit.
Dawwwwwwwww you guys are just so cute thinking what you post here will effect anything.
This is what will happen: People are picked, people bitch at the people that were picked not following their views(CCA more than likely) then people will want a voice(Outlands which already gets fuck all in the way of effecting rules) drama ensues.
Does this remind anyone of anything?
LOL, the players have no say at CG, the only thing that matters about you is the money in your pockets. That's the only reason why Rofl does anything to please the majority (the very little he does) That's why the only way shit gets done is if you through money at the gelatinous blob that devours money, hotwings and communities. (CG, if you didn't already know)I totally agree with that comment you gave out because RoflWaffle just doesn't post his opinions nor he doesn't care at all (neutrally). Many of us has seen it with our own eyes. A great owner is a active owner.
