Cardboard Fort/Gaming/Roleplay City HL2RP

Introduction/Canon
Behold the epitome of probably nothing, this is Cardboard Fort, A Roleplay server designed, specifically, probably for nothing,But Then again, every good server design has been taken, and we'd just be copycating at that point, anyway, we're a server dedicated to the well um. Nothing. We can't even decide what to do with our own name for fucks sake. But that doesn't make us any less of a community.

First off I'd like to say, that we're still working on some things, but your roleplay shouldn't be directly affected, the MPF System still has a few kinks to work out, and the Canon is a WIP, but we have a rough draft.

Anyway, Cardboard Fort is a Post C17-Uprising HL2RP, in which to preserve itself, City Eighteen Cut off all contact from the outside cities, other than administration transmissions, hoping to perserve the rule of the Union, and atleast keep One city functional, until help arrives. The City Administration other than figurines, have sealed themselves top in the capital, and haves ceased public speaking other than broadcasts for daily propaganda.

In the current draft of the canon, the Lambda resistance is completely dissolved locally, and a Fast Response Enforcement Team has been put in place to drop any kind of forming resistance on their heads. The Union, careful about Humanity's will to resist the occupation, has begun taking steps in order to neutralize that will. With contact to the Combine Overworld cut off, The City Administration, what's left of the Union Staff, and it's puppets, will have to rebuild it's stability. For now however, C18 is unbeknown to anything that's happening outside their aerospace.

Following the City 17 Uprising, people in City 18 Started to get antsy aswell, causing nearly 55% of the city to be cut off, bombarded and sealed, with active wall patrols. Anyone on their way via transfer to C18, have their trains boarded when passing through Dontau Reach, A Baron Canyon, having their memories wiped of any cities they'd of been to before, due to this, transfers can be quite slow..

Well that's the story

Server Functionality

Onto how the server works, and what not.

First off, no, we're not Accepting ANY form of donation, you'll have to earn everything like everyone else.

Second, Building ownership. [Yeah I know my settings are low.]

Spoiler

Citizens can acquire buildings throughout the city, for a price, depending on the building, and +1100 Tokens for Building Ownership Licenses, and +500 for a Business one[If you intend to run a business.]
This adds a temporary goal to the surrounding populace, hoping to acquire maybe even Spring Grove. The local group and personal housing apartment building.

Metropolice

We run a Metropolice Force, based around specializations.

At 03, you're taught basic knowledge in the Following; Nexus Diagnostics/Operations, Engineering, Medical Procedures and Tactical and Command layouts. In which at 02, you'll be able to choose a specialization. There are Three Specializations.

Tactical/Command

Engineering/Operations

Science/Medical

Later on, Command becomes it's own thing, as opposed to combined with tactical.

The basic training makes units able to be equipped to deal with most situations, even when a specialization officer isn't present.

Next for you wee little recruits, we now have a way to tell how bad you are!

Instead of finishing training and being instantly promoted to 04, you're either put to 04, or placed into a Provisional Rank.

These provisional ranks, specify what you're trash at, and what you should improve on.

Each provisional rank has the authority of just a recruit, since it's technically, not out of the waters yet.

The provisional ranks go from 05-09, getting higher depending on what you failed in training, so if you failed, Raiding/Breaching and basic firearms, you'd be placed into 06, because you failed two subjects. Sound simple? No?

Well, basically, the more you fail, the higher you go, infact it doesn't go any higher, if you literally fail every subject in training, You get booted out of the MPF, but you're not that mentally retarded, right?

At the end of the day, you'll be practicing, and working hard, for the unit who trained you to come down those stairs again, and depending on who it is, you'll be standing up high. Hand at your forehead, ready to shoot yourself in the stomach if he tells you to.

MPF Ranking

Now for the curious, here's how the Metropolice ranking system goes.

First we have a Recruit, recruits have the same authority as a provisional rank, vice versa, They're no different other than the fact is that one is retarded, and one isn't.

After that, we have ACTUAL ranks, which is bland, boring and standard. We have 04, the new guy, or old, depending on how bad you are. Who has just acquired his first rank, and is on his way to getting shot.

Then we have the 03, the slighty older version of the MPF Unit, who's probably playing with a hammer and saw set from wal-mart by now.

After that we've got 02, the undecided teen, who needs to make a stereotypical movie decision.

Then we've got the 01, now if you chose Engineering/Operations or Science/Medical spec.'s this will PROBABLY be your last rank. Unless there isn't a division EpU.

After that, we've got an EpU, now there can be a large number of these in TAC/COM but only one in SCI/MED and ENG/OPR. The EpU is sort of the troubled dog, he's upset because he chewed his bone all the way, and happy because he actually finished a bone before he died.

Then, we have the OfC, who is the last rank in specializations, there can only be one of these in every Spec. He's the big burly dad/mom of their specialization, handing out promotions like a gold star on the fridge.

Finally we've got the Unit Commander, this guy just does paperwork all day, and occasionally trains recruits. While sometimes going up to that tower, The Unit Commander, can order around OTA, alot, just for the hell of it.

Overwatch

Okay, puns and jokes stop here gentlemen, because we're now entering the serious zone.

To put it short and bluntly, there are Two Sections of Overwatch [Three if you count MPF, they're apart of overwatch too.]

We have the Overwatch Assault Team [OTA] Who are recognized as the main force in the Union, now contrary, to most servers, OTA are not augmented or brainwashed, this is done to perserve resources. With resources being limited due to no contact with the Overworld, Administration has elected to cease brainwashing and augmenting OTA Units, and instead, transfer all Brainwashed and Augmented units to a backbone force.

Remember that enforcement team I mentioned earlier? Well these guys are what are going to give you nightmares.

We have here, the Overwatch Fast Response Enforcement Team [OFRE].

These guys are designed, and told, to hunt any rising resistance and crush them, right in between their heads. They're usually also called in for Captial Malcompliance, and Unrest Codes. You'll be lucky to meet one in person, these units are typically found on rooftops, or in the sky, watching over D1, 2 and 3 for any signs of "let's go punch a cp". In which you can expect them at your door by Sundown.[get it?]

The OFRE is a small force, but a capable one, they operate in squad based combat only, and even have specific classes to deter each one from another.

You can read more about them on the forums, which is at the bottom of this page.

Misc

Otherwise, that's pretty much it for the functionality of the server, we're not unique at all, we just have ideas. There's a few misc. Factions, like Northern Petrol shipping, which if you intend to own a building you'll need to order stuff from them.

There's Vorts Using RJ's Vortigaunts.

CWU Might become a thing, for now there's just a salesman in FOTO which you can sell things to, or buy.

We also use Duck's crafting, and have some shitty item spawner, which is a bit unconfigured.

But, onto what you've been waiting for, and probably didn't read this entire thing.

Since I spent what was left of my money this month on CSGO keys, the website uses some host, I forgot the name of it. But they're nice, and have great support, even for free users c:

Addons, Content all that.

We're currently as of now, running rp_c18_v2

It might change to c18_v3, but as of now, there are no plans to change map.

Addons are automatically downloaded when you join the server, there are about, 6, 7 probably. Most likely 9.

We use Phase Four and Cider Two content packs, as we use weapons, armor and suits from them.

There's a 3% chance probability of having errors when you join. Garry's workshop system is most of the time flawless.

But, incase you get lost, we use the following addons:

I've been skeptical on making a C16 thread for awhile, considering most of the time all you guys do is look for flaws and completely bash them, but I'm not one to judge. [Not most people anyway.]

So uhm, this is my new new new new new new new york server.

Keep in mind, we're probably mentally retarded, as we couldn't design a name well, Considering I accidently named the website cardboardroleplay, when it was supposed to be gaming, i made the server name Fort to take roleplay/gaming out of it. And then i realised the damn logo said gaming, but you know, whatever.

 

I adore Citizen Roleplay, but there's not many Ideas to which they can do, I'm currently working on adapting the russian Factory plugin, so citizens have a chance to contribute to ration production, but it gets really chaotic in the factories.

There's just not a big enough area to support it, close enough to the nexus that is, if we used the XCCR it'd be easily raided and then we suddenly have lolrebels with golden coats. using tokens as pedestals.

Citizen RP is just not proprietly enough to work with.

 

Well... Something tells me I am a decent fit for this community. Regardless, what is the RP standard?

 

We atleast expect you to have a basic knowing of what you're doing, and if you don't you get taught, or told to read a guide.

We don't want to set a specific standard.

 

Well you haven't actually been on the server to tell that they're not redeemable.


Getting too antsy and claiming that we're here to do something wouldn't be a good image, it isn't for others. we're still yet to find what CBF exists for.

 

What a boring thread. The server is unoriginal and the same as others. This is a server I will never see myself on.

 

this server is probably dead
