Title: Vote on Where Our Serious RP Server is Heading
Post by: Top Hatted Cat on November 08, 2014, 05:22:02 PM
Edit: polling is now closed. We will create a new poll which will decide which server we will host shortly. The three options on the poll will be as follows: Metro 2033 RP, Prison RP and our own post-apocalyptic canon.

Our HL2RP server is dead. It just sits there not doing anything and nobody cares about it anymore. We feel it is time for us to hos a new serious RP server and we have taken some suggestions from a thread in the HL2RP board. I have compiled a list of all suggested themes and have prepared brief descriptions of them. The poll will be open for 7 days from when this is posted, so get voting.

Our own canon
We could create our own custom canon which can evolve to create a dynamic and interesting RP experience. Statua made a post about how this could work and can be viewed here (https://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=29708.msg217093#msg217093).

The Walking Dead RP
Pretty self explanatory. It would be more focused around getting food and supplies than the threat of walkers but they could be used in some RP scenarios.

The Last of Us RP
Based off of the PlayStation game The Last of Us, this could be a very interesting RP that would be similar to TWD RP. One issue with this would be that not everyone has played the game or has access to it, so would rely on a wiki alone to learn about the universe.

SSTRP
Starship Troopers RP. This could be a very interesting sci-fi RP gamemode.

PrisonRP
Set in a prison, this would involve prisoners and guards roleplaying in a prison. This could turn out a lot like HL2RP, however as the guards could act a lot like Civil Protection and the prisoners would be not be given much freedom, either.

CityRP
A gamemode akin to Cider Two, this would be a very open type of RP which would be much like real life. It would involve a lot of passive RP, such as cooking and talking to people.

Fallout RP
A post-apocalyptic Clockwork schema set in the Fallout universe has been available for many years and didn't really catch on. Nobody really plays this much, but it could be a fun gamemode if we created our own custom gamemode or heavily modified an existing one.

HL2 Outlands
We used to host an outlands server along side our HL2RP city server. It is set in the HL2 universe but offers much more freedom than city RP.

World War 3 RP
A military style of RP could work very well and is not done much in Garry's Mod. It would require very active players and could offer an engaging and fun RP experience.

Epidemic RP
A zombie roleplay gamemode much like Severance from the days of OpenAura.

Black Mesa RP
Based in a Black Mesa lab before the events of HL1.

Aperture Labs RP
Based in Aperture Science before GLaDOS murdered everyone. I would imagine this would be much like Black Mesa RP.

Medieval RP
RP set in the middle ages. I have never seen this done in Garry's Mod before and could be very unique.


Please forgive me for my shitty descriptions

For the preliminary poll, users should select all the options they like. Once voting is done, launch another poll where they select one of the top 3 to play. I've changed the poll accordingly.

I think there needs to be a good CityRP server. (Or a mod in the same style)

Post by: rBST Cow on November 08, 2014, 09:53:48 PM
MedevilRP has been done before but it was really, really really really shitty and it was back on like GMOD 12. It was just a big mess. I think if CG did something with it and put it's time into it, it could be very unique.

The Walking Dead RP seems interesting and it would be cool to see it happen.

PrisonRP looks like it may be difficult to make happen but if done correctly, I truely do think that it will be the next big thing in Gmod.

WW3 also seems neat, I'm just not 100% sure on how long it would last so I'm so so on that.

If you couldn't tell, those are the ones I voted for. The other suggestions just didn't seem like that they would make it very far.

The only thing i really don't like is WW3 RP because it's going to make us look dumb when WW3 actually happens and it is totally different.  (Just make it involving Russia and it should stay relevant).

There's 100 reasons to go to war with Russia but 1000 reasons not to, WW3 won't happen, and if it does, it'll be another Cold War, not actual fighting. I think CG can really do whatever it wants with WW3, we shouldn't be limited to just Russia.

Why not do WW4? xD That way the chances of us actually seeing it are slim. And you can add a near future twist to it.

Serious Sandbox RP

/me spawns a normal dumpster, flipping it upside-down with his physics gun.  He soon lowers it down onto his victim, trapping them inside as he switches to his toolgun.  He then colors the dumpster invisible, taunting the trapped player as he types into chat, "le trolled XDDDD".

If you aren't prepared to download some content there isn't much you can do as you will be mostly using CS:S and HL2 props/materials/sounds. This severely limits what you can do in terms of canon, as custom objects would be difficult to create.

But to be fair there is a huge line between okay downloads and downloads that make people click cancel when joining.  Anything that takes over 120 seconds usually makes people quit.  Or anything over 100MB (Cause some people still got stoneage download speeds).

I really don't know any server that I have joined that takes less then 120 seconds to join (The first time). I would say a time within limit would be 5-7 minutes before I would consider to hit the cancel button.

Joining a New DarkDM/TTT/Whatever server usually takes me 2-3 minuets.  If it takes longer it's because they got too much junky stuff, a dumb car pack, player models (A huge pack), or a overall shitty Fast DL.

Consider it an official lore.  Typically, canon serves as a guideline for RPs and fan fictions.  To say that an RP or fan fiction rapes canon would be to say that there is nothing in the lore that supports what you say.

An example would be like saying you're a relative of Gordon Freeman when no mention of his family is made in any of the games.

Metro RP please. The one I used to play at with a few old CG fags (Jonco, Mooch, Slade, Airborne etc.) was amazing. The economy and tight knit feeling you get from the dwellers, rangers and stalkers just worked really well. One thing I would suggest 10 times over is to add hunger and thirst, because it was one of those rare occasions in which it actually helps.

Metro2033 RP would be the best.

There's already a huge map with different places for factions. It's called rp_stantsiya_v1c.  It takes place in the underground trainstations.

Factions would include: Dwellers (AKA Citizens), Redline, Stalkers, Fourth Reich and Rangers.

There is really only one logical explanation from the info posted: It closed down.

It will have the same fate here at CG.

Let's do something original, like MedevilRP or PrisonRP.

MedevilRP is far from Original if you played gmod way back in the days.  If you want PrisonRP i suggest playing JailBreak.  it will basically be the same thing.

Can you stop arbitrarily opposing ideas with no arguments against them aside from "this is dumb" and actually be productive for once?

That would be great.

That is the only other Medevil gamemode, I use to be an admin for this dudes server back when I first got my PC years ago.

I talked to him about it a few months back and he was having troubles finding a dev and whatnot but I guess that's solved.

It's also semi-serious if I remember correctly talking to him awhile back.

If CG puts their minds to it, we can easily do MedevilRP 10x better than he can considering how incompetent he is.

Although, PrisonerRP doesn't have to be like how Prisons are run IRL. It can be in a different universe where the rules are a little bit different. Has anyone heard of the Stanford Prisoner Experiment? They made a movie out of it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997152/ . We don't have to follow real life, we can do what we want with it.

I think it would also be cool to have a metro server if done correctly.

You have to understand that for some people the future of our serious RP server is very important.  This is something that we are going to be devoting hours, days, even weeks setting up; no one wants all that hard work to go down the drain as it has the last few times.  We need to choose a unique and fun universe and the choice needs to be very careful.

That is why debate is so important.  If you didn't want people stating their opinions, then you should have locked the thread on the first post.  Then again, if you DID go through and do that, I'm sure that Adam's argument that you and everyone else involved in the project is part of an elitist cabal would have gained some validity.

In short, grow a thicker skin and let people state their opinions.  If you are as dedicated to seeing serious RP live again here in CG as you say you are, then you should be willing to deal with the relatively small amount of criticism you're receiving.

i wouldn't care if they were posting constructive criticism, but saying "i don't like this" is pointless, that's what the voting is for in the first place

if they said something like "i don't think prisonrp is the best path to go down because it would get boring very quickly" it would be fine

This is exactly my point.  Not once in this thread have I seen people give baseless arguments along the lines of "X sucks, vote Y".  At the very least, I've seen "X sucks because blah" and that's a perfectly acceptable response.
Title: Re: Vote on Where Our Serious RP Server is Heading
Post by: Tyrex on November 10, 2014, 03:00:25 PM
all i've seen them say is exactly what was stated in the OP

PrisonRP
Set in a prison, this would involve prisoners and guards roleplaying in a prison. This could turn out a lot like HL2RP, however as the guards could act a lot like Civil Protection and the prisoners would be not be given much freedom, either.
prisonrp is literally hl2rp but no citizens, only permanent detainment and it really wont last long when everyone gets bored to fuck of doing the exact same shit such as being in a cell, feeding, showering and exercise over and over and over and over again

The opinions of everyone in this thread are just that. Opinions. Example. Cow would like medieval rp cause it would probably run pretty well and be pretty damn dynamic in regards to what you can do and whatnot. It'd probably do well. However if I were to give my opinion, i'd say no medieval rp. Why? Cause I have no interest in it or anything fantasy related. But should it affect other peoples decisions? No. The OP should be a non-bias reference for people voting to help them make a decision and discussions furthering it should be talking about how gamemodes would work. Not why people shouldnt vote for them.

OP should consider taking the 2 most popular votes to make people happy. I personally like to rp were everything is not pre-set. I love starting with a blank slate and having more lore and story uncover. I also love rps that are lore rich. For instance, fallout.

OP should consider taking the 2 most popular votes to make people happy. I personally like to rp were everything is not pre-set. I love starting with a blank slate and having more lore and story uncover. I also love rps that are lore rich. For instance, fallout. So much lore to consider there that you can use to help define your character.

The top 3 will go through another poll and the winner of that is what we are gunna do

think of all the shit prisoners do in prison
black market, etc. i mean sure if you're a bastard that cant be bothered to create rp you'll get nowhere cause you'll just be goody two-shoes and afk in ur cell, but if you actually enjoy rp it'll be fun

Yep.  The concept was great but I didn't really like their execution of BMRP.  I think the dev team we have hear could make an EXCELLENT BMRP server.

I think it would be good but there has got be more to get people to RP. There could be events such as a resonance cascade or something. Sadly, I don't think it would get the votes.

Unless you want to rape canon, a resonance cascade would end up destroying the facility.  On top of that, you'd basically have a JW scenario where citizens/scientists cower in locked rooms while the CPs/security guards shoot at NPCs.

I think the point of this vote is probably to doing something other than the HL2 universe. As much as I hate to admit it, it hasn't done us much good after the first time around.

Prisons could follow lots of systems from films or books; could Battle Royal or Condemned that shit;
A prison ran by the inmates and the guards go in to search for guns and shit or to prevent escape, they also patrol the outside  (Always outnumbered, never out gunned);
A massive pool of corruption and despotism, where guards are everywhere but don't do much, apart from be cunts.

And if you sit in your cell complaining and only doing passive, you're part of the problem, sure make toilet brew, but at least do some shit with it. But it would possibly benefit from a less controlling auth system

Medieval RP would be interesting if it was fantastical (Non-Tolkien); elements like Arcanum has; technologists and Mages, alchemists and smiths, sorcerer kings and brutal beasts; even lovecraftian shit would be great.

At least with Fantasy RP, there's a bit more social justice going on.

Here, you can use this template to dismiss practically any gamemode from now on:

Code: [Select]
Lol, [insert gamemode name here] could end up just like HL2RP, just in a different setting.
Citizens would be replaced by [insert civil faction name here].
[insert peacekeeping faction here] and [insert faction closest to the military here] would be just like MPF and OTA and [insert upper class civil faction name here] would be the new CA's.

Example usage:
Quote
Lol, PrisonRP would turn up just like HL2RP, just in different setting.
Citizens would be replaced by prisoners.
Prison guards and Anticonflict taskforce would be just like MPF and OTA and the Prison management officers would be the new CA's

I'm not saying PrisonRP is bad, it could be fun. I'm just saying that it's a horrible idea to compare everything to HL2RP and that you should stop doing it.

Keep in mind, ya know, the limitations and the scripts of GMOD, so to get something that 'wasn't as unique as we thought it was' will be taxing to say the least, it's a bit like comparing DnD campaigns, the system will be the same, but the campaign itself is what makes it great.

As for 'Just don't cry about it when/if it turns out it wasn't as unique as you thought it was.' it gives no degree to uniqueness nor deviation of uniqueness. For instance
I expect  PrisonRP to be 124U (U means unique :)  ) Even if it was 123U, it wouldn't be as unique as I thought it was, even if the deviation is marginal. However, knowing CG, even if there was similarity between HL2RP and PrisonRP, even if we had new EVERYTHING, the old formula will arise —
The A just like CPs!
The B is just like the Combine!
The C are just like citizens in the slums!
The D are just loyalists!
Et cetera.

Comparatives can and always will be made and more often than not.

My reasoning, though, is that the two are way too similar with an oppressed majority treated as nothing more than human resources, a class of soldiers who are encouraged ICly to power trip, and an oligarchy of administrators whose job is to represent all of them.

Of course, I may be missing something, so feel free to explain to me how Medieval RP could provide a different experience from HL2RP.

This is like saying that every single shooter is the same, every rpg is the same, every action book is the same, etc.
You can simplify anything and make it sound dumb and useless;
'videogames are stupid, all that you do is push buttons to make lights change colors'
'books are stupid, all you do is turn pages and read stuff that you can only imagine, never have an image of'
'movies are stupid, they're just changing pictures'
'any form of excercise is stupid, it's just the same movement over and over again'
This argument doesn't work, of course rp is going to have some similar aspects. There needs to be an opposing force for it to be interesting, something to talk about, as opposed to people sitting in their houses doing nothing for 3 hours. Real people don't sit and twiddle their thumbs, they discuss things, be it taxes, the government, the laws, politics, religion, etc. etc.
You need something to talk about, something to do.

Want to know what HL2RP is based off? 1984.
Don't base the new RP off of 1984 and we won't have that fucking problem. Is fallout like HL2RP? NO. It's post-apocalyptic though, thus it's just like HL2RP; or rather under the dominant logic, it's RP thus it is HL2RP.

Want some fucking ideas for post-apocalyptic?

However, they all sound like HL2RP clones when I re-read the list

Try voting on OCRP or HRP and stay on them? You know, the other options; you're not obliged to vote nor to take-part in the result of the vote. If serious RP is a problem for you, avoid it. Don't go on, to then complain, nor should you take a vital role then never go on, without first resigning. Stay away if you don't like it. Stay away if you don't want it. Treat it like a phobia and you'll be happier for it.

Unless we plan on hosting two types of RP, this doesn't make much sense. The next poll will be to decide which server we will host, and having people select more than one option wouldn't make much sense.

What exactly are you talking about in the entirety of your post. You put worths in my mouth I never said, and like Abbott said, you DO take everything out of context. This isn't about me. This is about the whole community.
Do you honestly truly believe that any other attempt at "serious RP" you guys are trying to struggle towards, won't just drop straight down on the ground? Just look at this whole thread. You only have to drop the word "Serious RP" and all hell breaks lose.

CG's playerbase exists mostly out of roleplayers, and that is the whole problem.
People are to damn focused on our current playerbase (which always seem to fail regardless) that you all forget that there is more in this world than RP...
Maybe, if maybe you all just care just as much as I do about RP (aka not) and actually think of OTHER gamemodes to host. Then maybe we can finally get CG to have a more variated playerbase, with more variated servers. More players, more fun, more community.

And don't even try to pull the "Lol but all other servers we tried died within a week like TTT or Minecraft or <Input random gamemode>" Because who cares? I'd rather see us having more variation in our servers to pull in more players than sticking with that fucking "roleplay".
So here is the best idea ever: Put up variated servers. And DON'T drop them only because they are empty for a while. Even if the server is occupied an hour a week, it's still better than nothing.

TLDR: Fuck roleplay.

You're welcome to have your opinion, but you don't need to keep on shoving it down our throats. Given how much you want a non-RP server, how come you haven't already made a thread for it with a poll of possible options? That'd be a much better way to spend your time.



I just noticed there was a Hunger Games option. Why was it sneaked in? I can't see any posts about it, that's just silly.
How about we'd take 5 most winning options and make another poll with them, then make another with three winning options as originally intended?

We already had a thread discussing this.  This thread is not about debating the feasibility of another CG serious RP server, but what it would be.  Your opinions are irrelevant and unrelated to the subject of this thread.  As you can see in the poll results, there is still a community of several dozen people who still want to see a serious RP server here.

Yeah, I was going to ask the same question.

As for the five most popular options, it would then be as follows:

Seriously guys, are we this fucking autistic that we have to have a ~100 post thread on a fucking poll.  If you don't want to see a new seriousRP server, then shut the fuck up and go make another thread.  No one is forcing you to vote and no one wants to hear you bitch about how you don't want a new seriousRP server.  Managing to reach a 100 post thread over a self-explanatory poll is unbelievable.  You should feel embarrassed, honestly, if I didn't know any better I would say that some of the people posting here are just post whoring.

>lets make a new poll hurhur
1.  It was already decided to do this poll and then a final one out of the top three.
2.  It's pointless, if people really wanted one of the not three winners to win, it would have won in the first place.
3.  It skews the votes, even more than the bullshit ability to change your vote after seeing the results.  People will either miss or not care enough to vote in multiple polls spanning across weeks.

I still wish I could vote for "No serious RP". Because serious RP without drama is soooo 2012.
Oh well, I'm interested to see how this is going to turn out. But if I could bet my money, I'd put it on:
"Whatever vote is going to win, it is going to have a lot of drama because most people wouldn't agree on most things and it will go down the drain soon enough."

Try voting on OCRP or HRP and stay on them? You know, the other options; you're not obliged to vote nor to take-part in the result of the vote. If serious RP is a problem for you, avoid it. Don't go on, to then complain, nor should you take a vital role then never go on, without first resigning. Stay away if you don't like it. Stay away if you don't want it. Treat it like a phobia and you'll be happier for it.

We should also change from the undemocratic vote of FPTP to a PR style system; more votes, because if Prison RP fails, my stakes would go into Medieval, however under the current system, Metro or some shit will take its place

What exactly are you talking about in the entirety of your post. You put worths in my mouth I never said, and like Abbott said, you DO take everything out of context. This isn't about me. This is about the whole community.
Do you honestly truly believe that any other attempt at "serious RP" you guys are trying to struggle towards, won't just drop straight down on the ground? Just look at this whole thread. You only have to drop the word "Serious RP" and all hell breaks lose.

CG's playerbase exists mostly out of roleplayers, and that is the whole problem.
People are to damn focused on our current playerbase (which always seem to fail regardless) that you all forget that there is more in this world than RP...
Maybe, if maybe you all just care just as much as I do about RP (aka not) and actually think of OTHER gamemodes to host. Then maybe we can finally get CG to have a more variated playerbase, with more variated servers. More players, more fun, more community.

And don't even try to pull the "Lol but all other servers we tried died within a week like TTT or Minecraft or <Input random gamemode>" Because who cares? I'd rather see us having more variation in our servers to pull in more players than sticking with that fucking "roleplay".
So here is the best idea ever: Put up variated servers. And DON'T drop them only because they are empty for a while. Even if the server is occupied an hour a week, it's still better than nothing.

TLDR: Fuck roleplay.

I'm done here. This time, I will sit on the sidelines and laugh my ass off when shit is going to hit the fan again. Peace.

You say that as if you were doing anything in the first place.

That's real mature.  And you where supposed to help form this new Serious RP yet you want to accuse all of us of being Autistic?  I'm here to vote and discuss if you don't like it block me and quit throwing fuel into the fire. Or just quit being dumb.

If anyone has learned a valuable lesson its that no matter what you do in life you will always have a group of people who disagree with everything.

You need to bring it down a level, and that is coming from me for fuck sake. Welcome to a democracy where people like to give there opinion and possible sway others for there best interest on a subject. It is good we have a 100+ posts on a poll, this is a very big deal and could spell out the future of Catalyst Gaming. Also people have the right and freedom to say "Fuck serious RP", you should respect that and not judge them for stating there OPINION that you don't like. "You like batman more then superman? You fucking retard!" That is what you are saying in a nut shell, so GG m8.

We should be allowed to change how the voting system pans out, for the best interest of us and the community. Therefore I agree with the top five, then the top three. Just to really limit down the options in a reasonable time. Also

People did vote for these, it is that they didn't receive as many votes. That is like saying no one like Romney because Obama won, when in reality Romney still receive a fuck ton of votes. Finally onto your third and final point, how is this going to scew the votes? Also if people don't care enough than it isn't our fucking problem, so in conclusion you have belittled people for no fucking reason and have called basically everyone that has posted on this a forum a retard just because they excised there rights and stated there honest and humble opinion.
