Welcome to Syndicate Roleplay! Enjoy your stay!​

About the Server​

Syndicate Roleplay has been derived from many old communities, and players. Over the year or so, we have developed and tried to improve many of our flaws in our old communities. Some of the players are old HL2RP vets from the OA days, and many of newcomers, and or regulars that try to have a good time. An acknowledgement of many servers out there, no-one is perfect, and so am I. People that join come to have a good time, and many do, but some however have been left angered, and a bit frustrated by how some of us take care of things. However, through-out the history, we have in many ways improved ever since Sector Seven Roleplay.

Another small fact about Syndicate Roleplay is that we run on a Hypercore Accelerator that makes lag almost un-noticeable, or rare, and gives a player a good ping to our server. We also come equipped with a proxy and firewall that helps prevent some DDOS attacks, and many cases of hacking. But however, as I said in the above, no one is perfect, and there is always a way through.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A brief history of the server(s)​

Syndicate Roleplay comes from a big and long legacy from previous abandoned communities in the past. Many of us first started our first community called Sector 7 Hl2rp, it stayed up for about two months, before being reconstructed into Gaming Syndicated, which lasted about five months, before being taken down by some rivaling competition. Many months later after improving some skills, and techniques, some of our coders, members, and myself created Unison Gaming, which turned out to be a good run, but sooner or later, it caught up to us. After being DDOS'd once, and many of our players being minges, we turned into a bad community, and then came along Syndicate Roleplay, my last ditch effort into trying to create a equal, and interesting roleplaying community.

About the Staff:​

I am the owner, and the one who does the 'taxes' for the server. I am strict, and sometimes I do admit, I get a bit over-zealous, but I mean good, in the end. I deal with generally all the minges, and the newcomers that come to my server to see what it's all about. I try to be kind to everyone, and I tend to play fair with the others, and I try to come up with half the events that go around the server.

Angel of Death: He is the Head Admin of the server, that always seems to be donating money for the greater cause of the server, and always tries to have a good time on the server, when some of the times it isn't the best of times due to minges, or some RDM'ers that come along and ruin the roleplay.

Sanden: (SKIP THIS) Sanden is one of the admin that helped around the server, and he always tried to help out when he could for the players.

Why should we join the server?​

In my opinion, the reason you should join the server is that we commonly enjoy to roleplay with others, and also enjoy to just hang around with friends, and just try to get through the pain of living in enslavement under the Union. I also try my best to make sure everyone is happy, equal, and well-kept, and I try my best to keep it that way. We also reach out to hear people's opinions, and what should be added, and recently, an interesting faction was added. The Civil Medical Service. It is a civilian maintained medical service, in which they are given basic first aid training, and help out citizens of the city if injured or hurt.

Factions

The Citizens of the Union​

Citizens are the BASE of a population on the server. Not only are they the most important roles in a server, they are also the most underrated. The reason I say this is because, I've seen MANY deep and touchy backstories in the OA days. The Citizen is the backbone of the city, the people who the UCA gets to pick on, the people who rise to great and powerful figures. They are the people that get the most passive RP, and the most fun in my opinion. This is where your journey begins, in my opinion...Because you get two roads. You receive a road to becoming loyal to the enslavers known as the Combine, or you think about rebellion, and want to win back earth!

Things you can do as a Citizen:

Become part of the C.M.S or Civil Medical Service
Become a Civil Worker for the Union
Pick up trash, and turn in a bag for a loyalist point
Become a talkative person to a low ranking unit
Find out the backstory of someone you count being dear
Request to have a roommate in your apartment
Do your laundry
Go to a Caf?, or restaurant in the city
Explore restricted areas at your own cost
Attend a local speech committee
Listen to the Breencast on TV
Purchase and read books
Appose the Union, and rebel
Tell propaganda and lies to your fellow citizens
Assist units if they are being assaulted
AND much, much more!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Civil Worker's Union​

The Civil Worker's Union is a low class loyalist that serves the Union by selling low grade goods, and wares to the citizens of a city. They are practically citizens with a few loyalist points, that have better housing quality, and a few benefits. They are usually associated with the sell of Union goods, and being a person who reports inaction or crime every now and then. These aren't the ones you have to be afraid of however...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Civil Medical Service​

The Civil Medical Service is a civilian monitored medical program started by Harrison Lynch in City Eighteen. He started his own private hospital with the money he saved up, and the Union granted him approval for the service. Citizens can now apply to learn basic first aid, and is given access to low grade alcohol, bandages, and paracetamol. This is a very important job in many cities, and many people take the job as an honor, even though the pay they get is low.

Ranks:

Receptionist: This is a new citizen that checks people in, and mostly tells them where to go, and who to see.

Nurse Grade III: The Nurse is the recruit or recently trained citizen who is sided by a doctor usually and takes notes, and a-like from the people the doctor treats.

Nurse Grade II: This nurse is a some-what experienced citizen who can know helped citizens with low grade wounds, such as cuts, and pains such as headaches, and bleeding.

Nurse Grade I: This nurse is an experience citizen who helps with mostly all the citizens who come in with wounds ranging from a broken or dislocated bone, to the simplest of cuts.

Doctor: This is a fully certified citizen who is respected, and experienced in his job, and is the one who helps many of the patients that come in.

Head-Doctor: This is the manager of the hospital or clinic in each city, and he does more paperwork really, than any of the procedures. This is a very honorable and respected rank in the C.M.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unified Civil Authorities​

Yeap, you guessed this one. This is the oppressive city force also known as the Metro-police Force, or CP's for short. This is one of the most feared factions in the game due to them being able to beat you for just running around. They practically protect and keep EVERYONE in the city in line. If you slip up, they beat you. If you have contraband, they beat ya' and take you in. This is a military like force that IS to be reckoned with.

Ranks/Divisions:

Divisions:

UNION: This is the basic and starting divisions for ALL the ranks of the UCA. This is the basic enforcement and patrol squad that does the standard operations in the city.

BLADE: Also known as the Backup Lance and Defense Enforcers. This is a supreme squad of the UCA, which does the apartment raids, resistance base clean up, protecting the City Administrator, etc.

SPEAR: Also known as the SLUMS Patrol Enforcement and Recon Force. This is a well known division in the UCA, for it's common big patrols into the unknown SLUM area where Resistance members may be lurking...

HELIX: HELIX is the medical division of the city and the UCA. They are given high grade medical tools, and are given at a special rank the authority to perform augmentation surgery.

JURY: The JURY Division is the main division in the Prison section of the Nexus. They apply the 'convicts' and administer the punishments.

JUDGE: This is WAY different from the JURY division. JUDGE gets the special ability to amputate, torture, interrogate the subjects in the Prison Section of the Nexus.

GRID: This is the mech. division of the UCA. They repair, build, and even at times pilot a Combine Issued Armored Patrol Carrier, or APC for short.

GHOST: This is the sacred and rare division known as GHOST. They are the shadow, they are the infiltrator, they are the death of every resistance member known in the area. They disguise themselves as citizens, and spy on the resistance. This is a very honored and respected rank in the UCA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ranks:

Recruit: Congratulations! You are successfully a new initiate in the UCA. You receive a uniform, a Stun-stick, and your own handheld radio. This is the lowest of low of the ranks.

05: This is the backbone of the force, and is the most common rank in the UCA. They are usually put in the UNION division.

04: Congratulations! You got a promotion, and you are now more feared in the society. You now get a 9x19mm USP Match

03: This is like a timebomb, sifting through the ranks. It's the closer you get to losing your humanity. They reward you with increased supply tokens, and you are now issued tactical grenades.

02: Congratulations! You are one promotion away from losing your humanity! They give you a 4.6x30mm H&K MP7, and you can now control a small squad of lower ranks.

01: You have finally lost your humanity, and you are now a drone for the Union to control. They give you the ability to administer all levels of punishment, except for Amputation.

EgU: You are now issued a Franchi-Spas 12 Scattergun. You are also given the permission to amputate now.

OfC: You are given your first upgrade to your sidearm. The .357 Magnum styled revolver. You also have access to every part of the Nexus now.

EpU: You are now given access to everything, even the classy and intimidating Judgement Waiver. You can also call in OTA in dire situations. (Except City Wide Control)

DvL: You are given your own division, directives, and new commands and agenda to rule your division in. Bask in your glory!

SeC: The most intimidating and rare position to obtain in the UCA rank. You are also augmented from head to toe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overwatch Transhuman Arms​

The Overwatch Transhuman Arms is probably the most feared, and loyal 'units' to the Union. They are the military force and backbone of the Combine's enslavery. Whenever they are called in, expect the black pods dropping from the drop ships overhead, or perhaps even the ugly and intimidating look of a Flying Synth. This is the most feared faction in HL2 history. So when they come a knockin' best you get your ass on the floor, and hands over your head.

Ranks/Divisions:

Ranks:

OWS: The basic ground team unit. It is usually sent in on low risk infection and autonomous judgment days. Even being the low rank of the OTA, they are still intimidating.

RgL: The Regiment Leader is a small regiment commander that is usually grouped with the OWS on the missions.

SqL: The Squad Leader is usually the main leader in a STINGER operation, and is one of the most feared.

EoW: This is the most augmented OTA in history. They are strong, intelligent, heavily armored, and fitted with the latest technology. This guy is a THREAT to be reckoned.

Divisions:

ECHO: The main ground division. It is given to all the newly augmented OWS troops.

STORM: The name states it all. They storm in and are usually the first OTA units to be deployed in a city-wide crisis.

KING: These are the commanders or tacticians of the OTA. They usually stay on the dropships, or send out information from a mobile command center.

MACE: This is one of the most feared divisions due to they being able to demolish buildings, and break a human hand, by just slapping it. Best to stay away from these guys.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Vortigaunts​

They are one of the most respected and most interesting faction amongst all of the factions in HL2RP. They come from a world that was previously invaded by the Combine, they were forced to Xen, and then because of the Resonance Cascade from Black Mesa, they were put onto Earth, then later the Portal Storms start up, bringing more attention, until finally the Combine followed them back, enslaved the humans, and the vortigaunts. This is one of the most respected factions on the server because of the people who have them being very...intellectual and roleplaying rich when playing as them. This is one of those positions, that people tend to apply for the most.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion:

In the end, I think we are a mildly good server, and I think at the very least to give us a try. We may not be the most popular, or the most successful servers, but the best thing you could do to us if give us a try, and tell us what we can improve on, and keep. If you like us, tell your friends about us, and if you don't, critique us so that we can become better at what we are. And remember one thing; "Ask not what you can do for us, but ask what we can do for you." With that said, I give you my final goodbyes, and gratitude for reading this, and perhaps in the future, we may see you on the server. -Signed, Gamepro​

 

My eyes died, and not because the thread is bad. But because it's all lumped together in one giant ass paragraph.

Please format this better or something?

Suggestions:

Add better headings
Add sub-headings
Add images
Make sure said images are to scale and nice
Etc etc.

 

I've both worked with and seen Gamepro's level of Roleplay and Administration skills and I would definitely not recommend this community. Three reasons.
[list type=decimal]
[*]This thread lacks quality in general. Obviously you're not that keen on presentation.
[*]It still seems like you haven't picked up on any criticism that your old threads recieved.
[*]You're saying the same shit all the time. "Great roleplay!" "No minges!" "Every other server has shit staff and a mingey playerbase!"
[/list]

What the fuck does this have to do with anything?

 

The thread needs a revamp. A good revamp.

Go look at some other threads before you decide to make one.

But good effort, I suppose, I'll go on the server when I can to see if it's any good.

 

Reformat the shit out of it, also, I personally dislike IC apps...

 

I have revamped, and looked over a few of the other community posts. Hopefully, this looks more official, and organized.

 

Now it just looks really big and painstakingly boring

Meh. Great effort, though. You've really put a lot of content into this.
I'll join and see for myself.
