True. For me personally I still have to download a load of models upon joining (Still not figured out why it insists on repeating them)
As for others, might work against us drawing in new players especially having a large amount of stuff to download.

Workshop downloads are quite fast (except when the whole Workshop is down).
You're redownloading the models everytime you join because they haven't been put up to FastDL I think, I should solve that out soon.

Much obliged.

You dumping the whole TnB pack on server? It's rather large.
I thought of making an excerpt, but we'd have to create our own Workshop item for it and since we aren't the authors, it's against the Steam Workshop terms of use. I have yet to think about this a little further.

Ye 5 days is too short. We need more Officers perhaps though who can conduct training when they're not around.

As for the general population thing, we had 10 people on again last night. I think the server will grow if we keep it up.

Judging from recent shoutbox posts, this is probably NRK's theme song.

I can only echo the statements made my Nicknero. Suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it on. Loved ones, friends and family. Solution? Definitely not.

And yes, it isn't permanent. Things will happen and change, you will get through it. Parents really do just want the best for you, regardless of how it may seem.

Finally,

But promise us one thing: Don't suicide, please? You won't only harm yourself with it. You will harm everyone around you.

Accepted / Michael Robinson's Metropolice Force Application
« on: April 23, 2014, 11:37:58 AM »
Michael Robinson's Metropolice Force Application

OOC Name: Greenman

IC Character Name: Michael Robinson

1) Please write a minimum of 3 paragraphs OOC'ly detailing why your character wishes to join the Metropolice Force and what lead your character to do so.
I think the main reason is he's tired. Tired of living in fear, tired of being hungry, tired of being beaten. He's done with it and is willing to do anything for a slightly better and easier life. His situation is a desperate one.

He doesn't particularly care about the cause of the Union, not that he's quick the share this. He's hoping "For a better future" or some other such rubbish will see him through. Little white lies never hurt anyone, he just hopes he can keep up the act for long enough.

He's not particularly anti-Union either however. If nothing else it provides relative stability. He's simply on the wrong side right now. A decent meal and proper shelter sounds extremely attractive to him as well.


2) Please detail your characters traits. (Eg, Pure, Lawful, Trustworthy)
+
Disciplined
True to his word
Unwavering, persistent

-
Sometimes fails to see the bigger picture (Can get caught up in small details, tunnel-vision perhaps a better term)
Stubborn
Not exactly quick to admit mistakes

I expect more traits to develop over time.

3) Please provide 2 paragraphs about what you are expecting the Metropolice Force to be like for you and your character.
I've had Metropolice characters before on other servers, I've always enjoyed this type of RP. Just extra opportunities for fun RP. It's a very different style as well, and there's more of an opportunity to create fun RP scenarios for others.

IC, he doesn't really know what to expect. He's only seen the Metropolice operate from the outside, as a citizen. Whatever awaits him, things can't exactly get any worse.

4) Please provide a detailed back-story from an out-of-character perspective on your applying character. This section must be detailed and consist of a minimum of 300 words.
Born in Stoke, England, Michael Robinson led a pretty ordinary life. He has an older brother, Phillip Robinson, but they have since been separated following the Seven Hour War.   

At school he worked hard, hoping to study Biology at University. All things Biological fascinated Michael at this time. Unfortunately, his parents divorced around the time of his exams, a huge disruption in his life. So much so, he failed. He didn't acquire the necessary qualifications to attend University. It was a new low. His strong friendship with his brother got him through some pretty tough time.

After leaving secondary school, he moved from job to job, with no real idea of what he wanted to do. He was hard-working, always giving 100%, but he wasn't really fulfilled. He had aspirations to start his own delivery business with his older brother, with whom he had always had a good relationship with. Whilst he had no real academic qualifications, Michael felt he was intelligent enough to become an entrepreneur. Combined with his brothers charisma and energy, they felt they could build something successful. These plans never came to pass however, as one day everything changed.

Portal storms, alien invasion. The entire world subdued in Seven hours. He and his brother survived, their parents had passed away previously of natural causes. The Combine, as they were known, began setting up on Earth, extracting resources and implementing their own infrastructure. Michael and his brother were separated, both being relocated to different cities. His brother City 28, and himself City 45.

Michael led an ordinary Citizen life in City 45, Civil Authority Housing, attending Ration distributions, experiencing acute stun-baton to the body syndrome, all the things people deal with nowadays. He's done living in fear, barely surviving. Things have to change now, he can't deal with his current situation any longer.       

5) Have you ever had a MPF character here at Catalyst Gaming?  If so, explain why it was removed.
No

What about these two:



Rich people need it.
Poor people have it.
If you eat it, you die.
What is it?



I contain villages, but no buildings.
I contain rivers and seas, but no water.
I contain mountains, but no dirt.
What am I?



Nothing is the first one. Not sure about the second.

Answer to mine by the way is "Hole".
"I can have no colour, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing. If I am placed in a container, it becomes lighter."

Shall we make this a thing?

"I can have no colour, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing. If I am placed in a container, it becomes lighter."

From a favourite game of mine, bonus points if you guess that to.

It's really nice, coming along well. But when I look at it I think de_dust3 :v
Couple of things for when you get closer to release, I don't like the combine flag poles/posts, could be a bit sleeker and the Nexus interior is a bit bland (I understand that it's incomplete).

That is not the nexus. That is the entrance to the CWU. ...... interior is very spacious. I know the CWU look's fucking shit atm, but that is just the base of his idea, he is going to tidy it up add more features and make it look a lot more pretty. He might even possibly re-work it. 

With the poles I thought the same thing aswell but keep in mind this is a pre-alpha. It's supposed to be shit. .....
Edit : The nexus will look simmilar to this but a lot more epic.

[Image]

My mistake on the nexus/CWU. I wouldn't say the CWU looks shit, just the stand-out underworked area at the moment. The poles can easily be reworked a little and I'm sure they will be. I have to disagree with you on that last point though, pre-alphas aren't supposed to look shit :V (And this one certainly doesn't.)

Love the nexus idea.
