(We got rid of the old thread due to the fact that we completely changed everything about the server.)
Introduction
The Freeman Gaming community started up in early 2013. Started up around March 13, 2013. It started all because the owner was loathing for more out of a server gamemode that he was obsessed with. That gamemode was on the game ?Garrysmod?. The gamemodes name was Half-Life 2 Roleplay.
SECTION 1:Half-Life 2 Roleplay
Topic #001: Plaza Presentation
.
Plaza presentation is a major key to a servers appeal to players. In HL2:RP the entire map is an RP environment, but in my opinion, the plaza is where the most passive, aggressive, casual, and way more types or RP occur. When citizens want to passive RP, the environment and the surrounding area is most likely the first thing they will notice and build off of. For example, if they see a bench, they might walk over to the bench and perform sitting on it, then more RP elements can occur, with different scenarios, such as humming, tapping their foot, or even singing loudly. Singing loudly can get you arrested, but hey, it?s RP. There are so very many aspects that can apply, so in my opinion, the plaza needs benches, trashcans, and other items. A phone booth would be a great example. Such as someone walking up to it and attempting to dial into it and see if it works, then they get upset when it doesn?t work. In my opinion, the plaza is very blank and needs to be added to.
Topic #002: Organized server IC schedule.
Timing is everything, so they say. Therefore it can be used in HL2:RP greatly. Many servers are disorganized when it comes to events, IC apps, and CWU shop business times. If we have a pre-determined time for events such as the stated events above, then when people ask when they are, they can see for themselves. It clears up a lot of questions, and it is very IC. I will not tell you when certain events will be held. So I will let you decide that.
Here is the current Schedule for IC activities:
*Metro Police Force Applications ? 8:30 AM, 8:30 PM.
*CWU Applications ? 24/7 (Always available on paper in game).
*Rations ? 9:30 AM, 12:30 PM, 7:30 PM.
*CWU Business Hours ? 1:30 PM, 5:30 PM.
*Curfew ? 9:00 PM-7:30 AM.
*Slave Street Cleaning ? 6:00PM-6:10PM.
Topic #003: Staff efficiency.
Over my time of owning a server, efficiency is everything. So I decided to have four members in my staff, each member of staff was in charge of a different department of the server. They worked religiously on their department, so that the server could run smoother. There are four different departments: Metro Police Force Management, Resistance and Refugee Management, Civilian Management, and minge, failRP, and server bug Management. This turned out to be very efficient, It made it so the work was balanced out instead of whoever is available carrying the weight of all four. I like to see a server as a business, in order for it to work, everyone has to do their tasks and their part. This is suggested for HL2:RP servers. So Admins, Consider this.
Topic #004: Staying on canon.
Many servers lose their quality due to the fact that it loses a grip on the Half-Life 2 Canon. The MPF is an example. For example the MPF ranking system is off on most servers, the canon Ranking system is as follows:
SeC
CmD
UeD---OTA: Equal to UeD, when on duty.
DvL
EpU
OfC
01
02---Hunter: Equal to 02.
03--- Scanner: Equal to 03.
04
05
RCT
Topic #005: Combine Hardpoints.
Combine hardpoints are a huge part of civilian and combine RP. How they look, and how effective they work are key parts of the RP they bring. I Wish to help and create your hardpoints for you, I am a very experienced map builder with HL2:RP.
Topic #006 Roleplay Environment
The roleplay environment is a huge part of why our server is top quality. We like to do more IC than OOC. Our server is very balanced when it comes to the ratios of factions. We have a balanced amount of citizen RP along with MPF and Resistance RP. We think that most servers are one sided. Which being one-sided is unacceptable.
