Outside City 45 / Re: So, substance and deeper roleplay on Outlands?
« on: July 08, 2012, 08:03:05 PM »
That was the single greatest thing I have ever read in regards to HL2RP...
I agree 100% with this, people always lose sight over the key things humanity has fought for and still does. Basic rights that the Union have removed by force. If we had "a guy" responsible for organizing a real, human resistance (not some psycho raiders raping and killing with no regards to the survival of the species) it would be you Roven. Seriously that is how things should be done, an emphasis on exactly why the resistance fights.

Sounds like HL2DM, sorry but this would take AGES to organise and it wouldn't promote RP. This is also very flawed as the resistance would have no way to access the nexus, this would also require owner auth which you'd never get.

This.
Besides HL2RP is about humanity's darkest days of oppression, not a webul shootout in the impossible-to-breach Nexus.

Perhaps some kind of religious movement that ISN'T let's sacrifice vorts to the lamb god, maybe something like "Mercerism"?

A good post though, I hope this sparks a flurry of ideas.

Glad I got some backing here, we should do it ASAP! My loyalist is three days out of applying for the CCA, she would love to meet her role models before enlisting xD.

Events / [Suggestion] Loyalist/CWU/CA tea-party
« on: July 08, 2012, 12:01:08 PM »


 Event contents: I understand this has probably been done before but with the recent resurgence in active CAs I think we should take advantage of this by having a Loyalist/CWU party with the CAs. So here is what we do, we take about five loyalists and a couple CWU ( the loyalists must have loyalist status, 5+ points) and they are taken into the Nexus, tied and searched, interviewed for a bit to confirm loyalty status and or CWU status, brought to the office, untied then can engage in a Union propaganda filled afternoon with the puppet leaders of C45. The CAs can be guarded by a team of OTA, if they are short on OTA then a handpicked team of CPs should do the job. The Workers and Loyals can talk to the CAs but only with the greatest of respect, anything less and they are taken to detainment by the OTA/CPs very subtly and quietly. Once about four or five cycles have elapsed, the loyalists/CWU are escorted out, tied all the way through the Nexus, then released to spread the good word of the Union.

Another eventful day indeed. It looks like Michelle has been amp'd so that problem has been fixed.
I reported a deal between two citizen concerning painkiller contraband, I reported it straight away; it turned out one of them was an aspiring loyalist that was luring the other into a deal. Do I feel bad his points were re-set? No. A loyalist should never involve themselves in that. I was rewarded another three points by a very nice unit from GRID; he said he had a "soft spot" for loyalists and gave me an extra point to encourage more good reports. My point total is now ten! I now get an extra reward ration due next cycle, only three more days till I enlist also.
The UCH was raided three times today, once was one of my requests made against an audio violator. I've moved out of Cindy's, I have my own room now, I met with another loyalist called Zack. Zack was a nice guy and was also interested in applying to the Civil Authority, perhaps he may be my co-croot?

In summary: nine points, three days to go...

Yes! Success! I am now a Loyalist! I have the armband to prove it, I am now able to apply for the CCA and become a gear in the grand machine of the Union! Words cannot express my pride and jubilation.
I got a whole 3 points today by reporting a disgusting individual in the station committing acts of UPA on herself. I was awarded 3 points for reporting her with her pants down, literally. This now means I have 7 points in total, exceeding the total needed for application. Unfortunately I still need to have lived in C45 for two weeks to be accepted so I will have to bear the UCH for another five days. The block seems to hold a grudge now, I have stopped going into P3 like I used to and I rarely walk around in the UCH for fear of mugging or worse.
Today I also showed a new arrival around, I found him almost passing the barricade, I told him it was breaking Union law and then proceeded to give him a tour of the plaza. I finished in the UCH where I showed him to a spare room that was as good as any other. The man's name was Edward, when he asked for mine I simply said 'Miss White' as I don't want to let everyone know me.
Upon returning to my room I read a couple of UU books; they set my mind at ease and made me proud of my accomplishments for the Union's occupation of Earth, no matter how small my tasks and reports they were all valid and acted upon.

I celebrated my new status by drinking my only can of Breen Water Special; it tasted like lemons, it tasted like a job well done. I may be inclined to celebrate with one in the future. Unfortunately half-way through our lawful drinking of Breen cans, along came Michelle; she started mouthing off as usual, swearing, protesting the Union, typical. I wiped that smile off her face good though when I called CP, they were there in a flash, they caught her as she tried to run from the UCH. She got shot in the leg and was dragged to the Nexus, from what I heard, she hs not come out yet. Good riddance I say, one less crease in the fabric of the Union.

Just four more days and I'm out of here.

Bug Reports / CCA apps not loading

Something is up with the apps, every time I click the APPLY HERE!button on this thread.
http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=7668.0
It takes me straight to the index page, a couple other would-be applicants are also experiencing the problem. If somebody could fix it that would be great, maybe the url is broken or something?

Again very well written, gives me some real insight into CCA life.

+Support, I think you've really thought this through and it may well work. I look forward to NOVA attempting to solve the problem, un-aware of the virus life-span.

//I really enjoy this idea, but I suggest it waits until NOVA is a little bit bigger. We have a unit shortage at the moment in NOVA, especially with our DvL not being able to play for like, the next month because of his internet.  However, this is definitely a good idea with potential once NOVA is up and going again, which shouldn't be too long.

Defiantly going to enlist in NOVA if my future app went well. <3 Medical RP!

They're all out to get me now... I can see it in each of them, everyone of them know that I'm loyal, they are not scared but angry.

I got one more point today, I recovered a piece of Anti-Union propaganda, some nonsense about a "Dr. V" I turned it in straight away. I was walking by the UCH, talking with some guy, when suddenly some jerk starts shouting about me and my loyalties to the Union. Fortunately a unit was on hand, she called in a team who sealed the UCH and searched for the violator, they found him and amp'd him. Do I feel bad for letting him die? No, of course not. He was against the Union, if anything I am saddened by his ignorance, it seems such a waste.

I later reported a Jamaican man for trying to break off the UCH biolock, the man was detained but then released due to the lackluster evidence against him. I saw him as he emerged, he had been beaten a bit also, he stared at me with such a powerful and quite frankly scary stare. I appear to be the talk of the block now, there is a girl; Michelle, she is rather against me, she likes to swear at me a lot so I'll use that to my case.

Just one more point to go and I'm off to apply.

Accepted Authorizations / Dawn White's Authorization Application
« on: July 05, 2012, 04:02:43 PM »
Player Section

Steam Name: [LrG] Dalatrass Linron [Rv]
Age: 16
How long have you been Roleplaying? (can be any game): A year, more or less, hard to say, I've always enjoyed RP.
How long have you been playing Serious GMod RP?: Six months.

Character Section

Authorization(s):
-A degree in body language and Criminal Psychology from St. Andrews University.

Name: Dawn White
Age: 32 Years old.
Gender: Female
Affiliation: None

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
Dawn White, daughter of David White and Sarah Park, was born in the small Scottish town of St. Andrews in 1983. From an early age she was bright and perceptive, picking up on things easily. Throughout her childhood and early teen years Dawn was abused by her father, David White. David would also regularly assault his wife, Sarah, this lead to Sarah developing severe depression and after many years of domestic abuse, by the time Dawn was 14, Sarah killed David in his sleep, smothering him with a pillow. Sarah was arrested shortly after, she made no attempt hide what she had done. Dawn was put into care and Sarah was put on trial for murder. Sarah White pleaded guilty and was deemed insane by a crown court, it was around this time Dawn was 15 and became obsessed with the criminal mind, the way it functions, the boundaries that it oversteps to do unspeakable things and most crucially; the things the mind can let us see. Dawn had already had first hand experience with the criminal psyche; her father being abusive and her mother being clinically insane, this made Dawn strangely drawn to the subject as it seemed useful to know exactly what made people tick.

Eventually at the age of 17 in 1997 Dawn was adopted by a rather wealthy couple that had recently moved to St. Andrews, the family were very nice to Dawn and after hearing her story, and in 1998 even paid for a full degree in Body Language and Criminal Psychology at St. Andrews University; one of the best schools in the UK. She studied there on a four-year course and lived with her carers during that time seeing how they lived close-by, it was there in the university she met Professor.Hale an incredible man who became Dawn's mentor over time, he taught Dawn many things about the mindset of people and how everyone she will meet will be undergoing their own emotional conflicts and that it is shown in a variety of ways. Dawn would sometimes be tested by being sat in front of a group of professional actors and was told a key thing about the group, from there she was to find out which one of the group was in fact lying about the thing in question.

On her course Dawn learned a myriad of useful clues to give decipher a person's feelings and motives for example: a person who smiles using only mouth muscles and not a whole face action is usually faking the emotion and is not in fact happy or a guilty person may repeat part of the question in their answer, another example is the classic stance a liar will take; a sort of stiff posture with random episodes of fiddling and lack of eye contact, another good trick Dawn learnt was that liars sometimes mess up their sentences by adding or missing incorrect letters or grammar. Another useful tactic Dawn learnt from Hale was the hatred of silence liars sometimes show, constantly denying or speaking naturally by adding un-needed or irrelevant info, trying to weave out of the accusing silence. Using this degree she went onto become a Criminal Analyst in 2002, she worked as one until the Seven Hour War.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
-The ability to assess an individual's facial patterns and try to discern their thoughts or motives.

-A little more aware of the detail of a situation.

Defects
-Dawn will spend a lot of time focused on the small details and may lose track of the big picture, she may become distracted with tiny irrelevant things and lose track of the important things going on around her.

-Will not work at all for CCA units, their masked voices and helmets block almost every kind of "tell" the only way Dawn could know anything about the Unit's thought is by the Unit's sentence structure and shade of monotone.

-Will need to be tried again and again to make sure a person is in-fact hiding something.

-Has not been tried at all with Vortiguants, probably never will.

-Not always accurate fully, may require more physical approach to get answers.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
I plan to use to enhance Dawn's ability to find Anti-Citizens and report them. This will not mean I walk up to somebody and instantly call CP, I will analyse the person, talk with them, walk with them, begin to uncover their motives and goals until Dawn is completely certain the suspect is committing Anti-Union activities. Dawn also intends to apply for the CCA very soon, this degree will greatly improve her ability to pick up on detainees during detainment and such.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
No, nobody else, it is for only one character: Dawn White.

Which server does this apply for?
City

Not much happened today; I went for a walk, came back to find CP had busted my door, they were searching the block, for who though I'm not sure. I met a girl named Cindy, she's nice enough and let me stay with her for the time being. Her room was on the top floor and had a big hole in the side of it though so it was very cold all the time. I saw a new unit today, he was dressed very strangely and looked almost like a commanding CP. He was "inspecting" the UCH so I went for another walk, I come back to find the door to Cindy's room biolocked and all her stuff shifted into the hall. I haven't asked but I assumed the room was deemed unstable so we were relocated to a room down the hall.

Cindy is a little weird to be frank, she runs a store with a Russian guy called Uri. She was issued a warning by the same CP that gave me my first loyalty point; the unit warned her about a break in audio code. I'm not sure I want to befriend an Anit-Citizen, stuff like that looks bad. I won't have any problems reporting thing that go down in the UCH, the place is filled with suspicious goings on, I won't have to look far to get my last two points.
