He can rp good, trust me
I didn't question that

I said that I find the notion of an African American leading a samurai clan in the middle of the sea of azov the same day they get broken out of a prison is too wacky for my taste given the servers setting - meaning I can't take interactions with it seriously

I'm aware that he isn't retarded in his writing - I just think the energy would be better focused, if put towards a group that is a little more grounded in the reality of the setting, which can remain just as fun

the group was set up before, we were the flesh tribe, been set up and we were only in the prison cause of ooc stuff, so the samurai clan was always there - the reason for something like a african guy leading them was also written as the rank structure of the clan operates based on two headbands, the second in command has a starving artist's headband which anyone can duel him for, but to duel for leadership which Bo has, you need said second headband

explains why zany warriors such as an afro-samurai lead the clan, people come from all around to fight for the rule

i wanna do new groups tho, i just enjoy melee rp, and oocly refuse using firearms since they can be such a fun-killer, but many of my ideas stick to stuff i know because i have no clue how to make a local faction based around azov culture and would need alot of help wit that

Yeah that's fair - I'm just saying stuff because it irked me

You can do whatever you want as long as people think its enjoyable and play the server as far as I'm concerned, I just won't interact much personally is what I'm saying

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was supposed to be a wacky wasteland apocalypse?

I've been critical of BDB in terms of his roleplay, but he's out here creating stuff and giving people roleplay situations to deal with. All in all, he's a producer of roleplay. He may be 'zaney' and not 100% as serious as I am, but to be honest, I find myself pigeon-holing myself to specifics of my character that prevent me from doing things I may want to do OOC that may be more fun.

In the end what matters is that people enjoy themselves and have fun, even if you have to tip-toe on the lines of "acceptable" RP
Anything that can keep people playing

Vortigaunts are proving incredibly powerful at long-distance combat. I think I scored my first ever Hunter kill as a result of the line of sight - and cover - I got from atop this rock.

And some of us greenies even scored kills on the lot at the lighthouse. How something like this could be balanced remains a tricky question, since the Combine don't have a lot of counters besides just sending bigger Synths - but those kind of counter everybody.

There is no such thing as HL2RP economy

Vorts are Rebel Snipers. But are pretty fucked in CQB because of the delay before shooting.

you're in a very unique map to be fair.
Large scale with very few obstructions and while there is fog, you can get extremely long lines of sight.

I'd be curious to see if this continues to be the case in upcomming map changes.

We found one of the causes behind the trouble. We've also removed a crapton of props, including almost the entirety of my old rebel camp.

I can actually look towards the depot now and have FPS..
seriously though I think we going up now, we got some interesting things up ahead from the event team and the premise of it all can get rolling now
I appreciate you and cherish the effort you're putting into all of this, however:
he is saying he is bored and the performance is off putting
I'll give it another go (I am joining the server after hitting post reply) but if things continue, I will likely hold my character and everything else until the next map.

You mean to tell me had I stuck around I could've teleported into the lighthouse? I deadass ran myself over there on foot prior to the pulsing, my literal POV:

I charged up the fuckin pipe hoping to find a path onto the lighthouse area, and ended up fighting cops with rebels lmao
