Tell me what you remember about past iterations

[sots]

the tumultuous tale of Joshua Murray could be adapted to screen, and where men go to die really was just the perfect send off anyone could ask for a character

do u remember leo and josh murray meeting very briefly in sudan, not realising they'd be on One Last Ride together like 4-5 months down the line lol

 

[Appetite Ruining Kebab]

joshua murray should've died when cheng ho threw him in sewage water as a joey salads prank in the middle of an emotional heart-to-heart while he had open wounds

Where Men Go To Die (of Hepatitis A)

joseon was the peak of roleplay and a glimpse into what could’ve been if we weren’t so terrified of change back then

shipment 5, the event that accidentally killed linnteration because I signed on the only active players, was my magnum opus and willl never be replicated

but my earliest memory of this community (or well, lemonpunch) is still contact 5, hiding in a bunker from artillery fire and doing really impromptu field first aid. think it really was what kicked off my love of this stupid fucking hobby. not sure if I resent it or love it for it.

I still have the vods of Shipment-5 for majority of it although forgor'd to press record for the first half of day 2 and then fuckdd up the recording for the final half with Mira's(?) Death.

18/3 and Shipment-5 remain as guiding inspiration.

yeah that reminds me

@Appetite Ruining Kebab who picked up the bathtub AR2 in @Baker's traitor cop event?

 

[PepicWalrus]

Here's a few videos from Helix 3 with @train 18/3 and Shipment-5. These are really poorly recorded but hey better than nothing.




Shipment-5 with @Trains @GustavasSve @Appetite Ruining Kebab and I forget the other twos usernames. I thought one was Lux but don't see it coming up anymore.






I'll need to see if I can find the clip of Lux who forgot to remove the fart reverb SFX addon for the HLA smoke grenades.

oh right

I remember being really shocked at the time, tried to go downstairs to help @Dallas and you sucker-punched me straight off the rooftop

"oh is this some sort of murder mystery thing wh- WAIT DID HE JUST TOSS ME TO A KLENDATHU'S WORTH OF BUGS..."

you just reminded me of the Helix 1 Cab event, i don’t remember who ran it but the map was the L4D2 hotel, which was icly surrounded by millions of antlions. event never got past part 1 but you exposed the event runner of copying their plot from an anime, and there was going to be a transhumans bear

genuinely the worst event ever

according to the leaked google doc there was also going to be an anime forced betrayal via mind control, most of the cast (players btw) intentionally killed with no way to avoid it, and that bear was going to have a minigun strapped to it

makes me wonder how they got approval to do it in the first place if no one read the plan

was this the same guy that tried to do some event that was just killing bugs with a flamethrower but the flamethrower didnt work so it got cancelled

Blazer my beloved

It didn’t get cancelled but it was rather boring cause all we did was S2K antlions for 30 minutes on a ugly map and then leave. We left via a train and I was thinking "Oh now we’re gonna crash into a antlion nest and that’s when the real event starts!" but that never happened and the event just ended.

AFAIK it was on the event server and staff backed out from adding a flamethrower weapon shortly before the event was supposed to happen, something like that.
It was run by @Tyrone I believe

hahaha i remember hearing about that, but the anime bear event was someone else

Honestly say what you want about the Linntrix iteration but it was actually pretty good before it died.

That opening street war event in I17 was straight-fire and a lot of the CityRP was pretty good too, shame we were stuck on that dumbass laggy Terminal Six edit though. I might have rose-tinted glasses because I got very lucky with a few different key interactions, but I wish that iteration hadn't had such an early cot death.

yeah there were two groups that managed to have fun but the rest of the people were shit outta luck

 

[Trains]

hat opening street war event in I17 was straight-fire

my proudest event actually, even better than shipment 5

the story is as follows

snowl volunteered to do the opening event for linnteration. then he backed out - whole nother story there that i cba to get into
i say "fuck it i'll do it" half-jokingly but people took me seriously and i thought "yeah alright i WILL do it"
i get sent the original doc snowl made
the first like, 5 sentences were straight fire but the rest was just...yeah. like, gordon freeman was gonna slip on a banana peel or some shit idfk i cant remember
anyway, i suddenly had the sinking realisation that i'd never ran a full-server event before, i'd only done a closed server event to a grand total of 3 people and some schizo dream shit
i tried to do a write-up but i'm notoriously shit at write-ups and quite frankly, i hate doing them, i find it far easier and better when you just had the plan in your mind then tell people what to do

so i told people the rough outline of what i was gonna do, then i sat and watched apocalypse now
spent a week setting up the event server on each map we were gonna use
the night of the event i necked a 6 pack of beers and hopped on discord and ran it like the navy

pmuch, for those that didnt play it, the event was set in the destroyed ruins of i17 in the middle of a successful uprising. you were trapped in the middle of the action. you weren't combatants, you were humble refugees.
i originally got flak because i was adamant there were to be very limited number of cops but i wanted it to be distinctly different to any other war event where the cops become the soldiers and went all robocop. like, no, the district is in fucking ruins, any cop still alive there is gonna be on the exact same level as whoever else is hiding there and not actively fighting. if they were, they'd be on the frontline.

anyway
i told the staff to teleport people to rooms that i'd pre-designated as "start zones" all over the map, basically putting people in a barricaded room that was acting as a shelter from the bombing or whatever. they'd be teleported at complete random, and this paired with the hidden scoreboard meant that people were forced to interact purely IC and not just immediately run off with their ooc friends and start their GRAND PLANS. no one knew who they were talking to OOC, and it forced relationships and stuff - it worked perfectly from what i know

i made it clear these people had been sheltering in place for a few days and it's only really now that the shelling and fires had died down enough to make a venture out onto the streets.
there were a couple of rooms with like 20 people, some with only 3 or 4.
a lotta people actually stayed inside the safe rooms, they were perfectly happy just doing passive rp
there was still danger on the streets, people had to be vigilant, but the fighting had, by and large, stopped

anyway yeah the whole first day was essentially bringing some order to chaos and people trying to survive and find food, find their friends, find their loves ones, and ultimately get the fuck out of city 17. i saw one guy desperately trying to find his wife so me being me, i stuck a ragdoll in some rubble and made an npc char to tell him where to find her

it's a shame the narrative got completely destroyed after the first day, really. it fell apart a bit on the second map, i chose the wrong map for it quite frankly but also, so many people got the complete wrong idea of what was going on and tried to start a war

then we ended up on terminal 6 for fucking ages because the """"CUSTOM MAP""""" and the HUGE GAME CHANGING REFORMS that were promised were so delayed (on account of whoever was doing it being lazy)
so the whole thing just ran out of steam before it even really started

then it turned out they just wanted to continue the bog-standard occupation roleplay without any real changes so it was all a bit pointless (and they ended up wanting to do a mapchange to i17 lol)


didnt even get any screenshots i was so locked in traumatising people

swag

 

[Ricsow]

""""CUSTOM MAP"""""

I shit this map out in one week cause they wanted a funny China map (and also a completely retextured Citadel)

It was a clusterfuck but atleast I got a Wallace Petrol easteregg in
