Not really a bug report, but this section of the forum is the only thing that closely fits.



Pretty sure that needs to be changed back to x1d_stable since we aren't using x1f due to the amount of bugs that occured in it. Just saying.

We have currently been experiencing some downtime in the past few days. There is no ETA on when the servers will be back up and running so stay tuned to the thread.

Why are the servers down? We're experiencing some problems with our host, the problem is NOT on our end. The problem has to be fixed by the host, then the servers will be back on.

Also, stop asking about why servers are offline in shoutbox! It is against the rules and you can just check this thread for more info and updates.

Bigger, underlined red font to attract stupid people's attention more easily.

Servers are back online, go play!

HL2RP has a seperate Ban Appeals section, why not have a seperate Ban Request section to distinguish bans between HL2RP and OCRP. It also increases organisation slightly and to be honest, I don't know why there isn't one in the first place.

Authorization(s):
OTA SYNTH Hunter for Recon use in Outlands and in extreme rare cases if ever, the City.

Name: OTA.SYNTH.48672
Age: 6 months
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Combine

Write a detailed in-canon back-story how your character obtained these authorizations.
SYNTH.48672 was not one of the SYNTHs to be manufactured from an unknown species from Xen and during the Seven Hour War, but was manufactured within the SYNTH Manufacturing Factory in the Citadel of City 17. This SYNTH however, was not manufactured for the purpose of assault, but for recon work to gather information on any anti-citizen settlements in open areas outside of City limits. This SYNTH has also completed an escort mission to move high priority targets.

The first recon mission SYNTH.48672 was assigned to was to roam and scout a grassy hillside far south of City 17, as there were reports of various anti-civil movements occuring in the area. The SYNTH deployed a high ground tactic to scout the area, while moving it's three legs slowly to attempt to not be heard, or heard much by any anti-citizens within the area. Surely enough, the SYNTH spotted seven anti-citizens emerging from a half-reconstructed shed which looked to have been destroyed during the Seven Hour War. Two of the anti-citizens were seen by the SYNTH to be holding two AR2s, and were trying to fire them at a couple of sticks but unsuccessful as they lacked the biosignal to operate them. The SYNTH still considered this a threat, but it was ordered not to attack unless it is provoked, which in that case it may in self-defence. One of the anti-citizens then looked around the area, and spotted the SYNTH lurking on top of the hillside, which he then screamed "COMBINE!" and rushed into the shed, coming back out with a 9mm pistol and firing upon the SYNTH with a degree of inaccuracy. As the SYNTH was provoked, it launched a number of flechettes from the pair of flechette launchers installed onto the front, which impaled the provoking anti-citizen and another one who was in the line of fire as the first fell. The SYNTH charged towards the shed, which it killed three more of them with it' flechette launchers, then turned to the last one hiding in the half-reconstructed shed. Instead of using more flechettes to kill this one, as he was trapped in the corner, it rushed towards him, and impaled the anti-citizen using the metal blade limps on the front, under the main body of the SYNTH. Afterwards, the SYNTH continued the rest of it's recon mission which it found nothing else, apart from a few collapsed wooden buildings.

The SYNTH reported back to the citadel, completed a few more recon missions and the escort mission of a high priority target, and then was put into stasis and transported to City 45 and held in stasis there until it was needed.

What will these authorizations give your character in regards to perks or defects?
Perks
Agility and speed is in the favor of the SYNTH due to having less armor and firepower than larger SYNTHs.
Ability to cause FearRP amongst citizens and anti-citizens, in both City (if ever) and Outlands.
The intelligence of the SYNTH means it can quickly deploy tactics to increase the chances of hitting targets if provoked or assaulting.

Defects
The design and the look of the SYNTH means it is a big target to people and clearly an enemy to them.
The fact it has less armor means it is more vulerable to firearms and bullets.
Flechettes fired from the SYNTH are slower than normal bullets, which means long distance firing is an issue for the SYNTH.

What do you plan to do with these perks/defects?
Since the SYNTH is mainly for recon use, not assault use, I plan on using it to, if authorised to, patrol and provide recon for the OTA units in Outlands and, if ever, escort OTA units within the City or Outlands. This doesn't mean I am going to go around S2King/S2Hing people because that is a big no-no.

Will anyone else need these auths? (If so, list OOC and IC name(s))
Nobody else.

Extra Notes (optional):
As this is something new to apply for it would certainly be nice to be one of the people to be able to roleplay something new to improve on my own roleplay skills and experience. If it is denied however, I would certainly like some feedback on what I did wrong to improve this for next time.

Diary Log 1

Thought I'd start this diary, seeing as I was accepted into the CWU a couple of days ago. Things have been pretty cool as a worker for the CWU. I've been helping by reporting crimes, cleaning up the city, stuff like that. Citizens come up to me asking for help or for goods, which I give or give at a price if it is goods.

The other night, two headcrab canisters smashed into the plaza, and headcrabs started pouring out of it, which was damn scary. I had to perform my first big duty for the City by injecting everybody by myself with a Syrum to cure them of any infections they could have sustained from the headcrab incident. The CCA were excellent at keeping the zombies at bay from invading the hospital. For this duty for the City, our very own City Administrator called us all up to his Office, and we all got to shake his hand. I felt joy and pride as my hand grasped his and shook it. He also offered us a 10,000 token donation towards our funding!

Today, I've been reporting hell of a lot of crimes. Been on watch on the balcony mostly, and I usually see citizens trying to evade the CCA and the laws, either running into District 2, running along the catwalks directly above me, a stupid idea if you ask me, or trespassing in the HQ of the CWU.

Anyway, this is the end of my first log, goodbye Diary, for a time...

Hey!

Well, thought I'd introduce myself seeing as I've been on the HL2RP server a lot recently. I'm from England and I am 17 years old (soon 18 in September) and I am currently unemployed (hence the recent activity of being on the server quite a bit) but looking for a job in IT. If you're interested in this at all, I have recently earned a CompTIA A+, 2 MTA and 1 MCTS qualifications on Windows 7 so I can help anybody having trouble with PCs or Windows 7 and try to implement this knowledge somehow into a future character.

On the HL2RP servers, I have 3 characters who you may have seen recently. I have Liam Abbott, who I accidentally put on the Outlands server but going to keep him there anyway. He is a friendly person who recently escaped the city but is struggling to live in the Outlands. I also have Jessica Gellar, living in the City, which is my attempt of RP'ing a female character on here and not one that is going to get laid and start screaming "YES YES YES" in the apartments every 5 minutes . I also have John Omen, another City citizen. This guy is basically a walking tank at the cost of not being able to run fast at all. He can be quite aggressive to people he believes to be morons or who annoy him, but if he threatens them with physical harm, he won't acctually do it except in self-defence or to stop them harming another, otherwise he is quite friendly.

Anyway, that's my introduction over, I'll see you in the server
