Introduction to Millenia Roleplay
Millenia Roleplay is a new Half-Life 2 Roleplaying server based on the Clockwork Framework, this is a server that will run in the alpha and some aspects of the beta lore aswell, if you don’t know what Alpha lore is here is a brief description.
Alpha lore is when concept artists starting making concepts such as what the Civil Protection would look like possible enemies locations etc, and also at this point they started testing with the Source Engine the successor to the GoldSrc engine previously used in Half-Life one which I’m sure everyone is familiar with the most of the concept art got accepted but was cut as either the model couldn’t work or any other reason.
This server focuses mainly on how the MPF and Citizen Factions work. If you manage to become a loyalist you won’t get 200 rations every time you go to the Ration Distribution Terminal, the loyalists will be explained in the next section.
The story of Millenia Roleplay
You’re a survivor of a war that happened one year ago. The Seven Hour War. You were imprisoned until the cities were built exactly one hundred of them to hold the rest of the population of Humanity, you awake in a train you don’t know where you are there are a couple of strange men in trenchcoats holding what seems to be shotguns twelve gauge to be exact, there are some other citizens aswell on that train. They seem to be wearing blue jumpsuits holding suitcases, they seem to look afraid or sad, you can’t tell you look up in the window hoping this is just a bad dream that’s gone on for too long you seem a bit scared, you look outside the window and see another train being attacked by some strange creatures and one blue snake like creature you look in the other direction, you see a couple of man like figure staring in the distance, they’re holding something but you can’t tell they’re too far away. You see a big wall with some strange creatures outside of it. The train enters the big walls and you look to the side of the window and see a train station with a checkpoint. You walk out with your suitcase in hand with all the other citizens.
Loyalists
Loyalists are citizens loyal to the Universal Union and believe they’re the future of mankind. They receive some extra bonuses due to being loyal to the union they can do the following:
• Able to apply for Civil Worker’s Union
• Can order Citizens simple commands i.e Move away, be quiet, follow me. Stop that.
• Able to sell items without being arrested for unauthorised sales
Loyalists are able to sell request devices to Citizens much like the CWU but they cannot sell anything else as it’s a unauthorised sale. Loyalists have five tiers in it that will be explained on a forum post on our forum in detail.
Loyalists are also allowed to wear certain clothes that citizens are not allowed to wear, this will again, be put in detail on our forum

Metropolice Force
The Metropolice Force is the police force either recruited or forced into the Union to do their dirty work. This won’t be the Civil Protection. This will
The Metropolice Force don’t protect citizens but rather the peace and society of the Fourth sector of the Industrial Section of City Seventeen. They carry around a 12 gauge shotgun to intimidate and overall give the message to citizens to not rebel against the Universal Union, they carry a stunstick for non-lethal approaches and beatings, the last weapon is a nine millimetre (originally a flare gun but I realized that doesn’t make any sense) it’s your standard weapon used in situations when you can’t hit a shot with your 12 gauge
The Metropolice Force’s Uniform consists of a black trenchcoat bulky white PMG3 gasmask, almost all of their uniform is covered in black again to strike intimidation to scare citizens to either comply or get killed by the Universal Union for non-compliance. The Metropolice Force will not be Edgelords from a Custom lore server
Ranks:
RCT
T1
T2
GRDU
Tier one and Tier two have been put so we don’t have inactive Civil Protection Units
GRDU = Ground Unit
The Metropolice Force in our server are units that were trained multiple times making them efficent from standard Civil Protection units. They patrol every area of the city three times a day (this is recommended and encouraged for units for them to properly do their job and ensure peace and no fights occur within the city walls as the Industrial Sector of City Seventeen is ment to be luxorious and safe for all the residents who come to stay or go into the unknown). They're trained in live breaching and raiding on the Terminus Hotel to get them to understand properly on how a raid works, they also are trained in using their weapons in the proper situation and trained in how to do a succesful capture etc


Overwatch Transhuman Arms
The Overwatch Transhuman Arms are the Universal Union’s military force made entirely of former Conscripts and Special Operation Units from before and after the Seven Hour War.

This is Overwatch Soldiers saluting the Consul, their leader.

The Overwatch Transhuman Arms work on three four simple divisions
King. (The leader of a select team of Overwatch Transhuman arm soldiers.)
Dagger. (The shotgunner unit primarily used in Close Quarters Combat situations.)
Blade. (Units who are bombing units who use RPGs and Headcrab Canister launchers on their targets.)
Uniform. (A standard Overwatch Unit primarily used in defense and offense)
The Overwatch Transhuman arms are possibly going to be rarely shown at all in the server as its uncommon for JWs to go off every day (Unless it’s a a different framework server)
Money
The Union are generous enough to give citizens money out of the blue to avoid Vagrants on the streets as owning a apartment costs 50 tokens a In Character month (OOCly it’s a week). You’re able to do other things for cash other than getting it off rations or just stealing it like you’re some Half-Life 2 mugger. You will be able to make money this way
•Doing simple jobs for citizens like helping them clean, offer to help out a CWU’s store, or get a job and earn money that way
• Try help out the Union by asking for simple jobs like putting up propaganda
• Be a informant for the union and learn out things they didn’t know
The Economy of Millenia Roleplay
We will try to make the Economy different from other servers making it so you don’t have a salesman suppling you 24/7, you need to buy items from either a Civil Protection who is willing to give you supplies or buying them from your business menu, for the Civil Protection units they will have a stable amount of supplies, they currently have a salesman temporarily as the server is still being built by me and mynge along with some other volunteers, in terms of economy supplies will come every 2 in character days and one out of character day.

The City Administrator
The City Administrator is one of the highest ranking in the Universal Union, however, we won’t have applications to do this, we’ll handpick people to be the administrator, I’m referring that the City Administrator is the Consul, or just beta breen, if you’re not familiar with the Consul or don’t know who he is read this page http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/The_Consul, The consul will be the face of the Union, broadcasting speeches and announcements making things legal making things illegal. The Consul is the 2nd highest rank you can get in the Universal Union, you will mostly see him other than the Civil Protection Units. The Consul will sometimes request for a meeting with certain individuals… people who will be talked about in the next section of this thread

Incognito
The Incognito is a person who has gained the trust of the Union to be a informant sent for special recon missions or gathering information about certain factions or people. They aren’t shown on the scoreboard for Metagaming Reasons and showing them just removes the tension from them. Incognitos are stalkers (Not the deformed version just actual Stalkers). They have special meetings with the Consul or with Dispatch to report on what information they gathered from the location or person or faction. They're commonly found acting suspicous or following someone around stalking them.

Conscripts

Conscripts are former military forces (with the exception of Spec Ops). They’re dispatched with the OTA or defending the city from attacks, they’re the front line of defense the Union throw at their attackers, they’re cannon fodder extendable, they can just conscript the Loyalist into the Union if for example a whole squad dies.
Conscripts are equipped with the equipment they used in the WC Mappack. They use guns such as OICWs. A cut SMG/AR type weapon used by both OTA Conscript and Civil Protection in the beta, the OICW was the main type of weapon in the game. They use MP5Ks made by H&K (They got this from former H&K factories like the 9mm pistol used by the Civil Protection. As a melee weapon or CQB weapon they use a Stunstick. The Stunstick is the staple weapon of the Civil Protection and the Conscripts. The Conscripts use it similiary to the Civil Protection, beating without using their guns to hit them with. The next gun they use is the Shotgun. Used by the Civil Protection and Overwatch units in City Seventeen of the Fourth Sector. The next weapon they use is a assortment of Grenades. The Grenades included are, Smoke Grenades used to mask a escape or to make the enemy unable to see you giving you the perfect ambush position. The next Grenade is the standard Grenade. Self explanatory, the last grenade is the Flash grenade, used to blind the enemy to give you a chance to wipe out a whole group of hostiles.
RebelRP
A gun deal gone wrong http://imgur.com/a/zjcek
RebelRP is one of the most common Roleplay you would expect in a HL2RP server however. In Millenia Roleplay we wan't to make RebelRP challenging. You have to work your way into the sewers as its been filled with poisonous gas pumped by the Universal Union (overrated but makes you have to work to get into the sewers). BmDs don't exist (As in the Bmd's don't have Vv flags) BmDs are rare to find, BmDs have scarce supplies as they don't have the admins giving them Vv flags which makes life much harder for you if you're looking for a BMD with the gun you want/need.
RebelRP will be hard to RP as every IC and OOC day Civil Protections roam the slums, a common place where Rebels are found. If you want to RebelRP without a gun or uniform you can, make shivs make a group start helping people start killing people, the choice is up to the player.
Player Freedom
In HL2RP Player freedom is non-existant for ninety nine percent of the servers here is a perfect example of Player Freedom in our server
in terms of hacking you would need to have atleast a roll of over 50+ or if your char is a mechanic or knows how to hack ICly the roll will not be needed along with that if you want to make a makeshift pistol sorry, but no.

In Millenia Roleplay we want you to appreciate the look and feel of the atompshere, the volunteer builders have tried to make the atomsphere feel like it was a proper beta/alpha like server lore i don't want to spoil the surprise by showing it to you, i'd like it if you go on and just explore.
CitizenRP
CitizenRP is something rare nowadays on server because noone wants to do it BUT at Millenia Roleplay we want to make you feel CitizenRP isn't all that bad in a sense and can be done correctly if Player Freedom is involved, as a Citizen you can do many things work in the CWU, PassiveRP or get a job without being in the CWU and work for a store etc. Millenia Roleplay wants you to enjoy CitizenRP on this server as you can do whatever you want with Player Freedom (with some exceptions to stop trolls messing up the server). CitizenRP is possibly going to be a common thing on the server (i hope) as you can do many things as i stated above in the two previous sentences/lines
Last and not least Features in our server
We have fully scripted cigarrette pack item's (Three scripted) they come with functioning but kinda wonky this does do damage if you keep using it like real cigarrettes. We also have Beta Scripts mentioned in the Conscript section these including the Combine Guards weapon which is just a strider cannon, finally. The last thing we have that will strike probably some people fancy is Drugs.
Drugs are used to increase your attributes, we haven't done any effects for the Drugs as people might have conditions, we also don't have effects as we want players to RP the effects.


I hope this gives you enough information about our server Millenia Roleplay. Please leave critique in the discussion below, please try not to start flame wars. Thank you.

 

In my opinion this is quite an improvement from the previous thread.
Only thing left is to make it look better, add some bold texts, change some fonts, split texts so it's not a huge block sometime or feel weird and add some titles.

 

Thank you for the critique, i'll get onto fixing it.

 

I can do the splitting chunks of text however the bold keeps going off making it hard to actually make bold text

 

Do what's best, small steps first

 

Alright

 

please, just don't do this. this is a *bad* idea.

 

Why exactly?

 

So what exactly does your Civil Protection do? You just explained their gear and getup. I didn't see anything explaining how they are unique or what they do. Just a very broad explanation about how they aren't edge lords.
The whole concept of crafting a Pistol doesn't make any sense. I don't think you could legitimately craft a firearm with a pipe and "chunks of some metal".

"...as a Citizen you can do many things work in the CWU, PassiveRP or get a job without being in the CWU and work for a store etc."
You said many things but you listed 3 things. None of the things you listed really look unique or interesting because of the lack of explanation.

Good luck with your server though.

 

Very interested in the CPs gear system, i've never seen those certain models used on stuff other than DvLs and higher before.

 

Yeah, imo i hate the 05 04 03 02 01 OfC EpU DvL system it makes me cringe whenever i see it

 

Alright. I'll fix it

 

You could if you had a spare spring and some sort of primer, but it'd probably be a pain in the ass to handle to it's likeliness to get hot, and it'd be hell to reload

With that in mind crude guns and zip gun can be made to preform very well too, the quality of the weapon is relative to the quality of the person and materials, so you can have high quality zip guns that function quite well.

 

This server comes off as really generic, I don't see anything actually unique and defining for this, other than just the generic bland taste of HL2RP. Trying to implement Beta lore isn't exactly new.

 

We are currently in a transition faze to a new setting and theme.
