Canon (Story)
Year 2023

The combine have full control of the earth and are nearing the end of their use for it. Across the cities lights are beginning to go out due to lack of power. Food is getting scarce, yet someone always find some more; whether it's fruit, or noodles, or headcrab meat. Less combine are seen patrolling the streets, but what combine are seen give harsher punishment than before. Some say it is done to "ensure the security of the Union". Others say "They do it because they're bored."

You are but a citizen within City 8, a prosperous combine city, now almost overpopulated and resource bare. You just left the train after being "shipped" from another city, and you hear the current administrator's words from the Projection Screens.

"Welcome, dear citizens, to City 8. And those of you who lived here before, welcome back."

The administrator gives his normal welcome speech, a possible recording. Then an actual broadcast comes on the screen. The boardcast reminds you strangely of one made back in City 18.

(Broadcast is in the spoiler)

Spoiler

Citizens of City Eight.

Today we shall stop time to remember the dead
We do it in Union.
Together we lost the inalienable.
Lives
We lost civilian, Vortigaunt and whatever you're calling them lives.
Together we prevailed over hatred
Together we embrace openness, tolerance, and the fellowship of this union.

I've cried with you who were forced to say a last farewell by the grave.
I truly feel with for you who do not get rid of the pictures, sounds and smells from that very black Thursday.

I've thanked those of you who saved lives that day.
Thanks to you who ease the pain.

Every light has warmed.
Every thought has comforted.
Every prayer has given hope.

We're a small town.
But we?re City Eighteen.
The City where the people are big.

Together we've asked a lot of questions.
Together we pray for honest answers.
Not to give anyone but the perpetrator's fault.
But to know
In order to learn.
In order to progress.
In respect of those who were swept away, we will focus our sights forward.
It also means to separate ourselves.
In our daily lives the differences and disagreements wait.
Diversity.
That we welcome.

We have three tasks on our agenda.
The first:
We are to help those who suffer.
The sorrows of families, and friends have tests us others only can imagine.
Yet you can help.
Let them know that you care. Invite them over for coffee. Take a walk together.
A greater gift than kindness does not exist.

The second is to have your senses open to all signs of Anti-citizen behavior.
We must learn from the young.
We will meet hatred with arguments.

We will invite home those who have gone astray
Those who resort to violence, we fight.
With all the weapons of the Union we will meet them.
EVERYWHERE WE SHALL MEET THEM.

Our third mission is to create confidence.
The Union being prepared creates confidence.
Visible CPU creates confidence.
Regular controls, drills, and equipment creates confidence.

All this we shall have.
Yet we need something even greater, and far more important.
We need you.
No matter where you live.
No matter which god you worship.
No matter what color of your skin.

Each one of us can take responsibility.
Each one of us can guard our beloved Union!

Together we associate an unbreakable chain of care, trust, and safety.

That is our protection against violence.

Trust in the Union, and the Union will trust in you. Long survive City Eight.

From here on this is now your story. Live the city life how you like. Help the combine, or impede them. Perhaps you just want to live under their safety for the rest of your life.

Rules
[list type=decimal]
[*]Please try to roleplay seriously. You are not Chuck Norris, or Gordon Freeman, or Max Payne. (Yeah. I went there.)
[*]Act within human boundaries. You can't jump down a building, you can't fly across the sky, you can't make things float in mid-air, etc etc. This also means you can't hear someone's /me through a wall and run up to them. (One, that's metagaming. Two, you don't see through walls.)
[*]Powergaming is very very bad. You can't force someone to do something without a roll. Don't just run up to people "Do this or I'm going to kill you", then when they refuse, kill them.
[*]FearRP is essential at times. If you're being held at gunpoint, you're not going to just slap the gun away and tell them no, then walk away. Doing so is just plain stupid and there will be a rustling of the jimmies. (Quotes to Duck)
[*]You can apply for MPF at any time on the site, but only certain times in game. Don't run around in the plaza spamming OOC "When are the MPF application!?" because asking that will just delay them.
[*]Respect all our admins please. The only time you don't have to is never.

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Yeah. I got nothing. I'm a really bad critic. :-\

Atleast he uses my M9K Plugin.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Finished the thread.

Sorry I couldn't do it last night. I had to go to bed and had college early today.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

What's the IP?

Also, my plugin is called 'Visor Tools', not 'Visor Status'. Just pointing that out.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Sorry. I forgot to add the IP
-Added

Also fixed that. I got it back when it was Visor Status and forgot you changed the name to Visor Tools

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Your server relies on donations to stay up?

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

I'm currently in college without a job. I pay for everything I can to keep it up, but donations are always welcome to help. (We don't solely run on donations.)

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

What servers don't? You expect someone to pay out of pocket for the server for more than a few months? Running a server should not have a net loss greater than net gain.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Was just asking because "One more month from now, the server will require donations. Let's get prepared early this time. >->" - and donations can't always be a reliable source.

There are multiple servers that don't rely on donations. When I had a server I was able to fund it for a month or two, then it relied on donations (I'm not trying to make this guy look bad just because his server depends on donations, my server did the exact same thing). I'm just trying to find out, so I can let him know that donations aren't a very reliable source, thanks for getting on my back though.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

I would go into a whole history on explaining the Three Legged Crow and how the girl fits in, but... eh... If i can find something better to work with, I probably will.

Edit: On my god... I was so scared when I saw Dub on the thread... I was expecting so many crits to be thrown out...

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Lol, don't be scared of Dub. Also, don't speak too soon.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Polis is full of lies. Dub is the worst fiend of critiques you could ever find.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Fear me for I am literally not scary at all.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Dub isn't scary at all, I find myself scarier than Dub and I rarely play on other servers.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

One of your rules involve being trained to fire a gun.

I don't think picking up a 9mm, pointing it at what you want to destroy, and pressing a button takes training. Probably the most complicated thing would be loading the gun, but firing a gun? Why would I need training to fire a loaded gun? Worst case scenario they don't know or forgot about recoil and it screws up their shot, but nobody is going to be missing every shot they take.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Lol. You reminded of something else I hate. If you're being held at gun point then you 100% must comply with what they say, because in real life there is definitely never a time when you muster up the courage to fight back at an assailant who is threatening your life with a weapon.

Oh, you don't want to comply? Okay well you're banned for failing to fear RP, bye. The rustling of the jimmies can be heard throughout the world when that happens.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Cake, why do you have to take it the wrong way?

Duck, I didn't say miss every shot. I just said you're going to probably miss most. (Think about it. We're probably going to be on the server, some guy joins, rp's his way into being a rebel, gets an assault rifle asspulled for him, then try to rp I CAN SHOOT EVERY THINGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! Only people who would have proper training with automatic weapons are our MPF and long-time rebels.)

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

That entire sentence HURT....me.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

No, you're not going to miss most. It's literally point and click. If it's at a significant distance then yes, you're not going to hit, but then again, hitting at a significant distance is hard to do regardless of who you are. If someone is 10 feet away from me, I can kill them. I have never fired a gun in my life, but I'm not so retarded that I'm going to miss almost every shot I take at someone who is 10 feet away from me. Sounds like you have that rule in place to prevent mingery with guns. What minge is going to follow the rules in the first place?

Like, yeah, no.

 

Re: Three Legged Crow - The Realm of Utsuho - Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Rule edited to make more sense about "Human Boundaries". Gun rule lifted for now.
