HL2RP Nilux Roleplay - Only in Confinement Can We Feel Freedom

The confinement of the city only grows tighter with each passing moment. The grip the combine has crushes the hopes of rebellion rising up and "liberating" the city. Citizens are forced into manual labor jobs in order to get the rations they require to survive. Many state that City 18 has become almost like an internment camp from World War II. This almost seems true.

Nilux Roleplay, once owned by @puppy0156 and now owned by myself, wishes to lead the roleplay communities as a true grip on Half-Life 2 Roleplay. We have our combine units selected from only the best roleplayers, to ensure that they know to do their jobs, lest they fear the upper units. Our administration team does not fly around in Observer, spawning items. Instead, they stand beside you as just another citizen. You probably wouldn't know they were even staff if it weren't for the OOC chat icons. To prevent OOC spam, we have cut it down to one message per 5 minutes. This ensures roleplay at its fullest extent without the distraction of OOC.

City 18 was always a dark place, but with the addition of Atmos, the dark city appears even darker. A flashlight is even more nessicary than ever to traverse the alleyways and the slums. Even the Nexus holds an unnatural darkness among it.

Stunsticks are no longer permanent objects upon a unit. They are now actual items that can be stolen and used for your own nefarious purpose. Now you just need to get it from one...


Our server attempts to follow basic objects from the a different framework gamemode. Our crafting system is nearly complete and you will be able to create many things, from drugs to gun parts to the actual guns themselves!

Tired of waiting for a ration cycle? Completing super hard manual labor might reward you in one. Usually at the cost of dignity and feeling in your arms.


Our server is not public yet. Until then, please visit our forums at http://www.niluxroleplay.com

i don't run this, please don't add me in things i dropped. i also wish you would change the name, it's somewhat disrespectful to bring up a community i'd rather keep dead. thanks.

 

As I constantly tell you, I can't change the name. I bought the site. I'm stuck with it for another year and a half I think, so the name has to stay until the site dies. We know you're no longer associated with this and probably never will be until the day you die.

 

Nah you can bank with Redemption's Edge if you want. I'd just ask you to have me make the post next time. I like sexy song based posts.

 

Still leaves me stuck with niluxroleplay.com and nothing to do with it.

 

Maybe put the site in the past. Or leave it as a dedication towards the old community. Unless you paid over like $60. I don't think it would be a total loss.

 

To be honest, this thread has little to no detail about the server. I see nothing unique from this thread. There is absolutely nothing enticing me to join this server other than atmos and non-permanent stunsticks-- which, I might add, are quite easily added addons and plugins. Not only does this show me that you didn't even try, but it also shows me how little effort you put into the server. The forums may be a bit better than most, but I still see no effort put into this at all. I don't have anything against you, but why even post the thread if you have absolutely nothing to show?

 

You flaunt basic plugins and lore decisions as if they're game changing while making promises about your administration without backing them up.
This thread fails to convince me that your server is anything special.

Also, I looked at your forums and found this.

Selling whitelists and admin? Really?

 

yeah i suggest removing the ability to donate for whitelists, PET should be the most people get for donating. Unless you want to turn your community into a business.

@Kemerd This is why I don't make threads. I mean fuck. Even my old threads don't look good at all.

@The Dovahneer and @Vamure The donations thing is still default from Tru's. I'm working on that shortly.
And I was thinking of keeping donate for admin. Do you realize how many donations I can get from that? Not to mention a fine line I always have with donations for staff. "Abuse of the donated staff rank will result in the rank being lost like any other staff member. If you lost your rank to abuse, it is your fault and there will be no refund."

 

Omg. I'm so fucking sorry I can't keep a server up on two and a half dollars. Fuck it. Deleting thread. Talking to FPSPrussia on taking over.

 

I atleast have the time and willingness. I'm just not as rich as kuro over here. Either we pay for gas, food, or neither.

 

Do what you want its your server we're just giving advise.

 

Advise usually kills me because I have all this planned out then I get four billion comments "You're doing this wrong" "Ur a horrible owner" "Lol, kill urself furfag". I mean, yes. I appreciate the actual help and so far FPSPrussia is helping me plan out a lot more.

Now if only i could ever make a good community post.

 

I still don't think you should try to start a community without having the finances to support its upkeep without donations, just saying.

 

Nah. I've got him. I just gotta change my plans because @Outcasted is doing some weird things.

Don't even satisfy people's ignorance to your donation model. If you look at a business perspective, what you are doing is how modern communities survive off of donations. I do recommend a change that in order to become a staff member you need to have donated not the other way around. Which would be a great survival technique as what I've seen Staff are usually the worst when it comes to actually following through. When people get SA. All hope is lost for them to donate to their community because there is no benefits of them doing so. In rare cases people will and those are the people that I'd love to have those administrators but there is no way to test if they'd actually do it.

Mind anyone who comments on this. This is purely a business first strategy to financing a community and should not apply to your community.

 

Donating for admin? I mean I've seen some pretty shitey stuff, but this? yeah that's kinda crap.
And to basically copy what Vamure said, "Do what you want its your server we're just giving advise."
