WORKPLEX 17 | Black Mesa Roleplay

BLACK MESA ROLEPLAY
​

The server is set in the city of New York, in 1998. More precisely, in an underground facility owned by the Black Mesa Corporation. This New York Branch, although smaller, contains many secrets, of which some say are bigger then the corporation itself. Although it is much less staffed, the New York Branch includes many of the benefits the main HQ does, such as employee housing, and a large break room. The schema used was developed by Blt950, along with some touch-ups by myself on things like glitchy models and gramatic errors.



The map we use is rp_scp_urban_v2. Not only does this map have substansial space underground of which we are grateful for, it contains many empty buildings which we are able to furnish to our liking. It also holds many containment cells, originally for SCPs, now used to contain Xen specimens for both study and containment. This map was created by @Corbulogistics. Furthermore, this map does not require Black Mesa: Source content, which not too many people seem to have, so it is more convenient in general.



We have many different factions on our server, each with their own unique and individual traits.
The following factions do not require a whitelist, and you are able to join them as soon as you join.​

• Scientist - The ones who are well-learned in the many fields of science, be it biology, chemistry, physics, or virtually any other.
• Security - The ones who keep the staff safe, and keep intruders out. They're the ones you see patrolling the site.
• Medic - The faction that will help you with that cut. Maybe you've got a cold? They can diagnose it and give you appropriate medication.
• Chef - A bit hungry, and the food from the vending machines just won't do? Why not have some pasta, made as if it was from home?
• Maintenance - A light's flickering? They'll get out a ladder and replace it with a new bulb.

These factions do require whitelists, which you can apply for on our forums, linked below. Note that there are no IC applications because IC Xen applications do not work well. (at all)

​

• Xen Creature - Gerr, galing, gerr a'la gam! You can choose to either be a bullsquid, a vortigaunt, a headcrab, or even a houndeye!
• Government Agent - Maybe you're just here to perform a tax audit, or were you actually sent by the CIA to steal files...
• Visitor - Oh, there's a lab in town, and your kids seemed to like the science at your son's birthday party. Hm, let's see, how much to become a member...
• Espionage Agent - Maybe you were sent by one of the many organized gangs, or maybe just a competing company. Either way, you know your goal: Learn all you can about Black Mesa, maybe even steal some files.
• Disturbance Control Team - A Xen outbreak? Time to call in the DCT. Also known as the Disturbance Control Team, these marines are called in emergencies, and are given extensive training so they know what to do.

Thanks, and I hope that you enjoyed the thread!​

 

Bit short on information. Community threads that release unfinished don't get a look back at often, even if they add more.
Does sound fun as shit, though. I want in. I haven't had some good Mesa RP.

 

This is....different. Pada is right though, you're gonna need a bit more information.

Sounds fun, if I still played HL2RP, or anything to do with the Half Life series I'd totes play this.

 

Hit me up if this ever works out, I may just get into it.

 

I'll add in things like pictures and faction images tomorrow.

Also, thanks!

 

Hmmm...I like this.Please dvert it when it's up.I would definitly look up to more BMRP.

 

Added images.

 

I remember workplex 17 being the server where a admin continuously lied to me that there was no items in a locked crate i was robbing, spawned in zombies infront of me as an 'event' and basically nitpicked me to the highest extent to get me banned.

 

If you possibly remember the name of the admin who did it, PM me, and I'll see that they get either demoted or banned.

That is, if you're telling the truth.

 

>Black Mesa RP
>scp urban
uh, that completely goes against the basics of the Black Mesa facility, and I've read the wiki, there's a reason why it's pretty much in the middle of no where, aka New Mexico.

 

well if you read the post:

plenty of research facilities exist in cities

 

Custom lore sucks, and there's no chance I'm gonna join the server if something happens like aliens or zombies, plus, Black Mesa RP is too Dark RPy for me, from what I remember on Heartbit you would either have to RP (a lot) or wait a long time.

And I doubt there would be an underground military-funded facility in New York City, and if there is it would be almost impossible for anyone to get in.

 

It isn't exactly "custom lore". Surely now, a big and well-funded corporation would like Black Mesa would have more than one building in which to operate. For example, New Mexico is in the south. New York is in the north. You could assume that this would be thus Black Mesa's northern branch. Similarly, you could assume there are Black Mesa sites on other continents.

 

"It's not Black Mesa, but it's served us well enough." - Eli Vance on Black Mesa East, yeah, I mean it kinda makes sense but, Black Mesa is US property, if it's gonna be in New York City, it'd be deep underground, and I mean deep, they'd have to disguise the entire place and have trained security guards patrol the place 24/7, and guns on hand in case anything happens, New York City in real life is a big target for terrorists, and the cops themselves are almost like an army because of this.

 

His name was 'Sly' or Sky' or some faggoty name

 

Interesting, but WIP. See rule one of gaming community threads.
Please do make an announcement if this works out. I may just become apart of this community

 

Eh, I'd say the thread is pretty much done. Don't think I need to add anything else.

Will tell you if it works out. We've had a few good days so far for a small server, around 6-7, but that's died out during the weekdays due to other obligations, I suppose.
