Bitter Avalanche; Out of the blue!

BITTER AVALANCHE​

HL2RP​

FOREWORD​

This has taken a bit of a time to make, and it may not be perfect after weeks of polishing, but if you feel you have some Criticism we can work with, we accept it gladly!

INTRODUCTION​

Website​

Content​

First of all, I'd like to say this Community isn't one of the best around. We hold certain rules, and regulations in regards to certain factions and groups, that some may like, or not like. Our current playerbase is completely agreeing with all of this, and can roleplay well in set environment.

I don't want to sound like the best, but I take pride in my staff team. Trained, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile for those new to RP, so we can maybe help them into the RP. I don't hold specific age regulations in regards to staff, aslong as I know them, and know they handle it professional. Our staff, and playerbase for that note too, are dedicated for this server, and can be found on the server idling regularly. I don't always have time to play, but my other staff makes sure that RP will continue, even if I am not there.

Our staff team currently consists out of:
1 Founder - Me.
2 Directors
2 Super Admin's
1 Admin
1 Operator
2 Developers
Regardless of numbers, we are always looking for more dedicated staff!


Currently, the directors are mostly in charge of things, while I maintain the Server background, and make sure it runs smoothly. We try and provide a 100% uptime every week, but this is usually not something we can provide, due to scheduled maintenance periods, and so on.


Having said that, this is what I can tell you about how we run this.

OUR RP​

We try, and maintain a good RP environment for us. We have adequately propped out our map, that allows for plenty of Passive RP. However, we try to keep things exciting, by regularly holding mass-trainings for our Union Civil Authority units, and doing general search raids in the apartments. They don't last long, but you should cherish it.

The Rebellion, or as we call it 'The Cell', is rather calm, and not a lolwebellion. We take our actions in consideration for the greater good, and what possible bad shit can come our way.

The UCA and the Rebellion have their agreement, that goes as follows; 'You do any harm towards our party, and we will hunt you down.' So far, nothing major has gone down, besides a convoy attack, that was planned.

For our RP, we actively enforce our one-life-rule, unless otherwise stated. Events that are S2K are majorly never a permakill for character. However, if you are being amputated for proven RP reasons, you can say goodbye to the character, his/her backstory, and items. You'll recreate, and restart. If you were in any group, you will not be in there anymore.

Our UCA is well-managed by one of our players, and maintains a tight force, that is strict, and unfair, according to our, and the general HL2RP lore.

Amaria Industries is currently very much void, aswell as the CWU. We barely have any CWU currently, as the morale for that isn't as high as for the Rebellion.
Regardless, there are still a few stores open.

I wish to close with, that all what I have written, is a biased advertisement for my own community. You are free to come, and we encourage all users to do their research, before heading on.

OUR PLANS​

We are currently planning on opening a new server, and letting the Community decide.
We don't hold back on gamemodes, but the staff have all agreed, it will never be Build. Other than that, everything is possible.

We try and keep the Community as close as possible with all groundbreaking and major changes bound to happen to the Community. This is ranging from map changes, to new servers. After all, we're doing this for the people.

Our plans are to open many more server, over time, and adding our own custom schema's. We hope this will all work out.

I may also note, we aren't shutting down due to lack of funds. This Community is self-sufficient, and any donations will go directly through to development and opening costs.

FINAL NOTES​

I wish to thank everybody who read this to the end, and may of figured we aren't trying to be the best.

I'll say with certainty, we are not looking for a master ranking list on GameTracker. We do this for quality, to ensure YOU have a good time.

My final notes are;
Thank you.

And hopefully we will see your introduction thread on our forums, and hopefully your name in-game!

 

Alright... I will leave the suggestion I always leave to every roleplay server that I believe needs it.

Design your own structure for Civil Protection (or Union Civil Authority, as you call it), it gets a bit tiring that every single server uses the same template for the population control force (you pretty much seem to have added one rank at the end "i6" and that was it). It doesn't have to be necessarily long, in all honesty all Civil Protection would ever need in any canon is the ground unit ranks and team leaders (no divisions), the rest is overseen by Dispatch.

Also, unrelated to the ranking, you should use Dispatch as a sort of mission control, as I barely saw anything refering to it in the Field Manual.

If you would like me to share my reasoning behind this with you, add me on Steam (Homepage icon).

 

Hey, Omega!

Thanks for the suggestion, but we've done this with intent. We are dividing the units a bit more, which allows for more RP.

Think of, asking backup, breaching, sweeps and so on.

Sorry if it seems to be repelling you.

 

Maybe add a nice Logo.

IDK what this even is

 

Working on that.

 

Those things can happen regardless of the ranking system you use, but alright then.

I do not mind it being divided, but you could at least use some originality to come up with your own thing.

 

ew

 

Donation perks? Uh... no, thanks.

 

We did this after talking with some of the other Directors. They were all in for it.

As I said, you are free to go, or not to go.

 

I do not think you understand, I'm clear that I am to not go. Giving players advantage just because they throw money at you is not okay. Also, it shows that you depend on donations to survive (apparently). If you were not, then there would not be such thing as donation perks. I believe I am done with this topic, carrying on.

 

We hold donation features so we can expand.

That is all there is to it.

 

If people like your service, then there is no need for reward so they are able to show their support by donating. When advantages are put as 'donation perks', people do not care about supporting your community, but more about the perks given.

If I recall, the true definition of that is trading, not donating.

I will take my leave now, have a good day.

 

You said that a reply ago.

All I'm saying here, is. This is some extra money that is going to the Community.

And we did these in a well-thought through system. The cash is only really useful if you're CWU, or BMD.

 

I've seen multiple communities who have benefited from donations (including perks for said donation) Such as Validus Gaming, before it when down the shitter. (I ended up donated 45 dollars to the damn thing)

 

I managed to get over [SIZE=78%]200gbp over a few months when i was running OA and I only closed it for personal reasons, but then there wasn't as many noob hl2rpers and children. Donation Benefits are good if utilized properly. If anything you can just create a empty donation button that is there for showin love[/SIZE]

 

This^

You shouldn't look at it as a thing you buy, really.
It's as you all said, a perk you obtain from donating.

Owners, admins and alike should be able to take away your 'perks' at any given instance of abuse.
As it's not something you bought, but something you were given in return for donating/showing wub.


On Topic:

Finally a community thread that looks good, but as tru wrote, really.
Proper logo/pic pls.

 

All of those donation benefits are fine, but paying for CWU? Really? Also, the prices are just too high. I go on servers and get PET flags for free. I'm not paying $25.

 

Okay, I'm sorry but... Five pounds to own an apartment? You can't be serious...

 

I didn't see the apartment ownership one, that perk is horseshit.

 

Agreed, thanks for the positives
