Chapter One
February 16th, 2015 - 1:47 AM | Somewhere in Eastern Europe
As most Europeans would be laying in their comfortable beds on the somber February night, Portal Storms began to loom in the distance. These Portal Storms triggered the teleportation of Xen Creatures from the planet Xen to Earth. Due to these Xen Creatures creating havoc throughout Europe, Citizens were urged to move into the city, where they could be provided safety, food, water, and security. Outside of the City, in the suburbs, Europeans would have to fend for themselves, and would not be protected what-so-ever. The large portal storms attracted The Combine, who defeated all of the armed forces throughout the world in only Seven Hours. Inside of The United Nations Headquarters in New York, Dr. Wallace Breen ordered the official surrender of Earth. Due to his efforts, The Combine awarded Dr. Breen as the ruler of Earth. After some time, Cities were inhabited by Combine forces, and were fitted to the needs of the Universal Union. Large walls, Hardpoints, and Nexus Buildings were constructed to ensure that the City's order would be kept in place, and to ensure that the society would be kept secluded from the outside world.

Chapter Two
January 29th, 2016 | The remnants of Sofia, Bulgaria.​

In the remnants of Sofia, now known as City Seventeen, Citizens worked with various efforts to ensure that the streets were shoveled off properly of ice that was caused by the frigid winter air. As the snow fell upon the wet cement streets, shoveling would continue to ensure that the streets of the plaza were near-spotless. Most knew that shoveling the frozen-over ice was useless, as the streets would just freeze over again after only a half of an hour, However, the Combine Civil Protection needed it done, and done it would be. Before the war, most Citizens would be sitting in front of their hearth, keeping far away from the harsh, cold weather. As of now, luxury was no longer a word, as Citizens were expected to work to ensure the city was in a habitable condition. Inside of the factories of City Seventeen, the smoke-stacks churned out black smoke that originated from the burning of the cripple and elderly. As every day, Citizens lined up at the Civil Workers' Union to ensure a spot as a CWU Employee. Most wanted to become a-part of the Civil Workers' Union, as a better life overall was provided. Civil Workers' Union Employees were provided a higher pay, as-well as provided with more respect due to their work efforts. Throughout Precinct Six, Citizens began to see a spiked increment of illnesses and diseases. Whilst none can confirm who, or what caused the outbreak to occur, most Citizens began to point fingers at The Combine. Some speculated that The Combine used the technique of creating artificial diseases as a way to flush the Citizens out of the low-regulated slums, and into Precinct One and Two, where patrols and regulations were in place. Back in the plaza, Citizens began to unload large bags of salt to put onto the streets, which would ensure there was a good source of friction for passing APC's, and foot-mobiles.

Chapter Three
March 8th, 2016 | City Seventeen
With Spring came sunshine and pollen. Due to the constant allergy issues affecting the healthiness of the workers, The Universal Union distributed a basic level of allergy medicine to Civil Workers' Union locations, where Citizens could purchase the medicine for a some-what high price. As time went by, 'ill-minded' folks created groups of members who decided that it would be best to secure themselves an area underground, and hidden out of view. As Citizens began to work day by day, The Combine Civil Protection began to lessen the restrictions that were imposed. For instance, Citizens were now allowed to purchase media items, such as books and articles, as long as they were Pre-Universal Union approved. This is where your story begins, How will your character react to the situations that unfolded? How will you proceed to develop your character?


What type of Resistance system is implemented into the server?
Resistance members work towards helping out the Citizens of the City, instead of fearing them. While The Resistance may not give weapons to Citizens who are eager to help, they do, however offer them opportunities to earn their way into The Resistance, and earn the title as a 'Rebel'. Citizens can get tasked with simple objectives such as placing up propaganda against the Combine, Retrieving important documents that contain important locations for weapon cache's, and much, much more.

Does the map contain story elements to it?
It sure does. Around the slums, your character can engage in the reading of diaries, journals, and newspapers that contain information on the lives of those who lived before the Seven Hour War, and those who are living currently through the situation. We encourage all players to check out these documents, as there will be some IC Events that will be happening, in regards to what is happening inside of Precinct Six.

Does the server have any Hardpoints/Checkpoints?
We currently only have one Hardpoint, which is placed in-front of the Train Station. This Hardpoint is only used during events, where Citizens need to be contained inside of the area. Perhaps, if they have died during the event. This Hardpoint can also be manned for incoming Citizens from new cities, which will engage the player in more roleplay.

Do you plan to restrict a player from roleplaying?
No, We do not. A player has the freedom to pretty much visit almost any part of the map they wish, and explore. We have added in story elements, such as diaries, journals, and books to the map, that will give the players some extra things to do.​

The Combine Civil Protection
The Combine Civil Protection are Citizens who have applied to become a-part of the CCP to better the lives of themselves, and to ensure that they earn a higher wage than others who work. As a result of their 'hard work and dedication', CCP Units are subject to bonuses and other payments.


The Citizens
The Citizens are the life-blood of the city. Without them, there would be no city. Citizens are free to engage with others in conversations, work for tokens, or even explore what the City has to offer, in terms of the story that we have created for our players and it's characters.


Civil Administrators
There is a maximum of six Civil Administrators. CA's are responsible for ensuring that the City is running in a smooth condition. Civil Administrator's are also responsible for Public Relations affairs. For example, Citizens can submit questions to Civil Administrators, and those questions will be answered on the daily broadcasts that Civil Administrators conduct.


Overwatch Transhuman Arm
The Overwatch Transhuman Arm are a section of soldiers that were either ex-military or composed of present time citizens and CCP that have ascended to trans-humanization, they are never seen in the city unless great danger poses a thread to city stability. More tactical and more equipped to deal with high-level situations, these are usually reserved until the Combine Civil Protection cannot deem itself competent enough to deal with dangerous situations.​

Civil Workers' Union
The Civil Workers' Union is a collection of Citizens employed to better assist the Universal Union. Some divisions that CWU workers are assigned to are sewer maintenance, public relations (In assistance to Civil Administrators), public media (Newspaper Editorials), and much, much more.

Unexpected but nice thread, the CWU should be modified a little, and the Resistance from what it seems actually seems 'peaceful', in terms of accomplishing goals without weapons. In the coming days more will be added I suspect to make Citizen RP better, but from what I've seen so far I recommend this server as they have a plan laid out perfectly.

 

Best looking thread I've seen in a while.

Good luck.

 

Pretty good looking thread. I'll have to jump on and see how it is when it launches.

 

It looks a little generic, but in a good way. I'll probably be checking it out.

 

I like the idea of journals and stuff for players to read, im hoping this'll do good.

 

Thanks Everyone.

 

So when will the server be launching?

 

The server releases at [UPDATED] That is, Of course if everything continues to run smoothly.

Edit:
The server will now release at 5:00 PM Central Standard Time.

I had a blast today, the RP was good although there were a few things that bothered me but they're being worked on it seems

As for creativity if you join believe me, I was astonished tbh. I have yet to encounter any resistance despite travelling throughout the sewers.

9/10 server, would recommend as of right now, no edgelords, no stupid resistance, you have to create your own roleplay here - the staff won't hold your hand, that's the disclaimer, although the staff are very supportive of player-based roleplay.

 

This should be fixed at once, I don't like the sound of this. The very top. Otherwise from what I'm hearing great server.

 

As I've explained with others, I only accept those who have spoken with me before-hand, as-well as those who I can trust with such a large position. Now, let's say that you may be thinking that a DvL may just promote someone to EpU? They can't. All promotions/demotions are subject to my approval as the Administrator. So, I won't allow an i4 to receive an EpU or OfC rank, or anything else of that sort. The system is planned out to be equal and fair. Now, as for our DvL's, I hold my DvL's to the up-most responsibility. If they cannot roleplay properly, but have seemed to somehow gotten my authorization, even though I ensure that I check for thorough RP, That DvL will be demoted of his/her position. As always, we value our community's opinion, so, if there is enough attraction to remove the test, I shall remove it. But, Keep in mind of the statement above.

EDIT: Essentially, the test is just there as the last method before a unit is accepted as an DvL.

 

While I appreciate the honesty in your post, I think it's an easy ticket for some kid to write a DvL app and then put all of his friends at powerful positions - it's a recipe for disaster in my opinion, and there should be a time restriction too, seriously what's up with that one guy applying for cp then dvl and getting it all in one day. that just kind of fucks it over for the units who earned their rank man and deserve to be in HC. literally a three hour timespan was all it took for the guy to get dvl. As I previously said though, it looks good but the only problem I have is the rank-jumping.

 

It's been removed to prevent further confusion on how the system works. As always, I appreciate your feedback!

 

Although I mostly agree with you, I haven't really seen any servers with C17 recently, it's been mostly i17, of course I haven't launched gmod it at least a month in a half.

 

Whats really strange is that no one uses c18 anymore, It's really odd tbh

 

I think it might be that as time advances and more and more plugins come out, with servers loading themselves with more content, they feel that C18 is possibly too cramped for the content they have.

 

I was going to use City Eighteen at the start, but it just seemed over-used and basic to me.
