My favorite part of City of the Dead was joining at the reported event start and then having to wait on the server for 40 minutes until the event actually started

Does anyone remember this LemonPunch event from 10.05.14? I think it was one of the Contact events, but I'm not sure.

pretty sure that is Contact 1
Thanks. Do you have anything to add about it? I'm afraid I forgot any detail about the lore context. The resistance were assaulting some Combine force is all I think I remember. It was interesting to me though, as we didn't have events like that on Gmob biZ HL2RP a couple of years earlier.

it was LP's first shot at a proper whole server event

there was an attempt before with the Europa Dambuster event, I think that was in late 2013?

i remember having to tell the ota when to fall back and then when to push up, just to simulate the battle with the rebels, it was a shooting gallery, no rp at all, over in a night

ended with all the rebels being forced out of the canals

it was Eurasia's assault on Moscow, being repelled

How did Europa Dambuster go? I'm assuming I can quote you on all this, you're like the only source I've got for the original events.

the europa dambuster was the culmination of the group's time as the main resistance faction

there was a pretty radical idea being floated that Europa would use its considerable manpower to trigger a whole server event by going on a mission to destroy a big hydrodam outside the city

it was pretty cool because it was the very first time we had done such a thing at LP (the whole server going to another map for a short event) and it ended with a bloodbath of cops and ota getting destroyed and the rebels blowing up the dam

looking back on it, i think most of it was entirely a scripted setpiece (like dark skies) but it was a very important moment for the community

europa would fall from prominence in 2014 due to the infighting, meaning that we couldnt make the Contact event series about them (as was originally planned) so we came up with the Eurasia group as a filler, the rest is history

didn't the destruction of the dam icly trigger some chain of events leading to gordon's arrival or something? or the formation of lambda?

As far as I remember from reading the archives, neither. It flooded C17 and got the map changed then it swapped back a few months later.

I still remember that one "forgotten Contact event", and I still vividly recall that it was a war waged between two groups called Catharctic and Svetnica. Can't remember which Conflict event it was numberwise, though.

Honestly the Snoop Dogg event is one of the most noteworthy from LP since it’s still quite regularly mentioned
