I would like to say atleast thank you for cooperating with me and keeping the lab safe and sound... but i would like 1 more thing.
People complain about being in the lab for too long
People complain about not being in the lab
People complain about OTA being on for too long
People complain about being stuck in the lab
So can i just say... maybe switch to S2M for a short period of time when people start to complain instead of just flagging down. In White Forest, OTA are outside all the time. However, we did make an agreement on the lab and thank you for that. I only complained once about going to the clinic, which i thought was ridiculous for me to do that. As of for everyone else, i would like to keep the RP going and going.
You don't have to do this, this is just my suggestion to you.
-
I don't know what agreement you are talking about, as no one ever informed me about anything, but I find this entire "lab = safe" just bullshit.
Sure, I agree that OTA attacking the lab would ruin RP, but you can't just expect us not to do anything about it even if we KNOW people are in there.
Not to mention that this causes people to think that as long as they are in the lab, they don't have to worry about OTA anymore. This is none-canon as you ALWAYS have to worry about OTA. Even if you know they can't attack you OOCly because of some stupid agreement.
-
This is why we said that i am going to atleast keep some of them out so they can RP out in the canals.
-
RP is escaping OTA, not always camp the fuck out of one area.

Which is why i'm kicking refugee's out for the week.

Yeah... I saw that today. *cough*
-
Out for the week? Kick them out for good and the lab is Alliance only?
-
The lab is for everyone, and i have to kick them out now because the OTA complains.
-
I thought the lab was to be Alliance only when Statua founded the idea.
-
That was Alliance Headquaters, Alliance Laboratorys was founded by Albert.
-
That doesn't sound very resistancy shouldn't you be letting refugees stay with you?
O wait we are talking about the LOL resistance. I'm joking. But i see you've been letting refugee's stay in there for a long time but now having them kicked out is very un-resistance and i don't blame you guys; i blame the OTA for complaining.
Edit: FTW made up words
-
In-canon, refugee's get helped out and fed and have shelter in Black Mesa.
-
The OTA are here to kill any refugees. If your going to make a base dont make it obvious to the OTA that you are there, Turn off the lights and no-collide the boxes hide inside of them. I mean seriously what is the point of having OTA if you cant use it, we just supposed to walk around?
Which brings me to my last point if you want to have a private laboratory have it who gives a damn if its un-canon, canon barely exists on outlands anyhow.

A problem I notice, is people get mad if the labs would be Alliance only, or allowing others inside, we can't win.
Also, we spend a lot of time in the labs, rp'ing different things for hours. It's when OTA camps outside the door, and anyone who takes a step outside the door is S2K'ed.
The labs has much rp value, and I do not mind it getting shot at, or rp'ed with. It's only if we are constently raided and killed that I have a problem with.
We spent atleast 2 weeks withought even 1 OTA on, and maybe a chopper, but recently, OTA have been on everyday (like they should) but have been shooting to kill everyone and everything. Even if you hide in a bush, or in a tree, or peek around a corner, when In game, the time is 2am in the morning, you are still shot, and killed.
At one point I even tried to speak to a group who were patrolling, asking if a S2M fight was fine. They agree'd, only to S2K everyone around me, and then sprinting in my dirrection, withought taking cover or anything. My guess was the sprinting randomly at me, was too get closer, so a S2K could be used. I ended up sprinting away.
In short, for my terribly long rant, OTA should take more cover, and have fire fights from acrosst the street, not rush up to anyone and shoot them to death, from long, or short distances. Also, take into the time of day. In night, you might want to use your flashlights, as we will need ours to.

OTA snipers will have a high chance of hitting you, OTA need more activity thats why I myself have been scheduling patrol's.
-
Well I made my Vortigaunt a home and the OTA deleted the door to get in.....Which wasn't very nice.
-
In my experiance, After about an hour or so of a squad of OTA being on the server, everyone on the server has died at least twice, or are hiding in corners or in sewers where RP is quite limited to say the least, I think some S2M would be a step in the right direction, and also I suggest an OOC keypad in the lab, the doctor went AFK unexpectantly and I was trapped in there for half an hour trying to get out. Also the idea of keeping people out seems like it wont help considering people will get themselves holed up in other places, like the end of a tunnel. Its like outlandsRP became ratRP.
-
OTA should not be patrolling more then once or twice a week and I and other admins will be enforcing this very strictly.

Thank you Rofl.
