Title: Speaking of slaves
Post by: tetris76 on September 18, 2011, 09:51:57 PM: The first time I put up a vort app it was for a slave. I later on found out that you were and are currently not allowd to apply for vort slaves.

First off: Why is this?

Secondly: Will vort slave apps ever be re-opened?

The reason I ask is because I have seen absolutely NO slave vorts in the city AT ALL. Same question for stalkers.

Thanks

As for the vort slaves, it's just because there's no formal system set up yet.

I am administrator on a number of servers that run HL2RP and I found that if you allow slaves it does somewhat increase role-play. If you get a swep for a broom it can be done properly with all the animations. But yes it is boring it's like being a citizen who is trying to get loyalist points but for no cause other than being told to. But anyway it draws people in nonetheless I would apply for it if available.
Also it composed of just actions and no talking.
