About TheCrew:

I've had this community for a long time, but recently it shut down and restarted.

I am the Owner, and I have worked my butt off to get this far. It really isnt easy running a community, but I enjoy it.

My current Staff team is very, VERY small. We only have one Operator who will be promoted later today. Following him will be another Operator.

We have a strict Combine Civil Authority team who follows orders. We have a forums where you can go and suggest new ideas, create suggestion topics, write books, apply for factions, etc...

Want to see what our CCA have to follow?

We don't have many players, but if we got to fill up our 20 player cap I was going to purchase more player slots. The more people we have, the more CCA I will need, as well as staff.

I am really searching for hard core HL2RP players. The ones who /me a lot and actually P2L and understand how powerful the Combine really are. Those who understand FearRP and Hunger/ThirstRP, I really want you to join and help me shape this community into something big.

If this gets going, I have sat down for more than a year with this community once before, and I will gladly do it again.

Before you read the rest of this, I just woke up and found this side of the C16 forums, so don't take my thread making skills to heart. All I ask is that if you give us a shot, stay and RP with our community for some time. We really enjoyed our days with a full server, and we would love to be able to get there again.

Lore​

This is the year 2013, and according to my friends timeline of HL2 found here: http://flux-theorem.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline these are the first Citizens, as well as Combine to enter into the city. The CCA have been trained heavily and the Citizens are just starting to understand that this may last longer than originally thought. Other wise, this is the story of HL2 many years before the events of HL2​

Factions:

Administrator
Combine Civil Authority
Citizen
Enslaved Vortigaunt
Civil Workers Union
Nexus Command Officer
OTA (Of couse)​

General Rules:

No prop surfing
No /me kills combine
No D/C while RPing
No minge running, minge grabbing
The basic stuff, more about Rules on our forums.​

Basic Districts within the City:

District 5 - Any area other than District 6. Or otherwise known as "Plaza" this is the District the entire server lives on. It is one small District compared to the entire city.

District 6 - This is the 'Slums' part of the map. Always open, but off limits to the Citizens, people have to avoid CCA Units on patrol to enter. Sweeps do not occur unless the number of players in D6 outnumbers the players in D5. Getting caught in D6 is immediate amputation. (But the first Amp in D6 is NLR, second is PK)​

Loyalist system:

The more work you do for the UU, the more likely you are going to get -Negative points. The more -Negative points you have, the more rations you may receive, or you may get better treatment. But most importantly, at a certain level of points, you can receive the CWU Whitelist (After applying)

Citizens also have the ability to destroy rubble and debris from the left overs of the 7 hour war. Each time you do work, the maximum amount of points to earn is -10.

Read more on our forums to understand the loyalist system and many other things about this Crew.

I will be updating this post as time goes on.

 

This is pretty bland and basic.

I would suggest editing it a bit, maybe make it pop and more appealing to the eyes.

But decent enough start, I suppose.

 

Why do none of you use simply headers and sub headers anymore, and solely use BBcode, it looks absolutely hideous, I mean, making a header isn't hard to do, I managed to make 5 of them in 5 minutes, all you need is a little time, communities should really stop being lazy and spend time and work to make their threads look absolutely appealing.

 

oh look the crew is back


l o l

 

This doesn't look any different from any server, really.
Try making the user/player want to see something, or feel intrigued.

EDIT:

I suggest you heavily use this as reference.

 

Trying not to sound rude here but maybe the reason your community is small is because of the lack of effort in this thread.

 

That really isn't what makes a community, in my opinion.

 

This thread is not what makes a community, you are a right. A community is a group of people who are willing to help each other, have ties to one another, and share a government.

I put this up this morning to just get it up and out there. The last few hours have been nothing but in-game time and reading reports, or explaining things to new users.

I'm sorry I didn't appeal to your wants and needs. I'll make it snappy in the coming hours.

 

i think the thread looks fine, diablo.

don't rate communities by how the thread looks.

if you had the attention span to read through it all, don't complain about it being ugly.

rate the community by its content.

communtiy threads, in my opinion, serve as a, "hey, this server exists, look what we have."

if you dont like what the content is nor what their canon is, dont join, but dont blame it on their thread

 

I'm not on about the presentation of it, lacks information.

 

the old 'the crew' was comparable to the average darkrp server
is this the intention again

 

That's pretty much the average of most HL2RP servers these days... Or atleast after some time, anyway.

Take LP for example.

 

lp is cliqued between good and terrible rpers, not darkrp
the crew was legit
like
100% darkrp clone kind of shit

 

oh shit, ill get the flamethrowers.

 

good forum, considering it's free
good presentation, though it could be a bit flashier
elaborate detail on server systems, though definitely not intricate

7/10 would consider joining
