i am not sure how to fix the crazed loothungry bad apple problem since they're part of no faction. admins accommodate for players but regulating their roleplay style isn't easy because then I'm trying to wire into their fucking psyche
open to suggestions, but maybe people need to collectively reinforce those tropes out with their own chars ic/ooc

I decided to play a character that is the complete opposite of what I normally do
A (former) pacifistic character who is entirely unknowledgeable of the world outside the prison, who also happens to (most of the time) be extremely frightened of the idea that he could be alien food and or something worse at the hands of combine dudes
When the Gonarch dug into the rebel cave I unironically pulled out my Makarov and was rolling a dice on whether or not I would suck start it or live to see another day

dare i say it but i feel like its something that needs to be helped ic rather than ooc
if u wanna see change then be the change, enough ppl change then most will follow with it
the amount of retard rebels versus good rebels isnt as drastic as u think, i'd say only 40% of the rebels atm are actually what's being described here

Don't give out aks and hazmat's, not saying you have personally but i feel like being given top tier weaponry against the combine was only done because "look new weapons pyro made" let's make use. I'll admit I took full advantage of this and why wouldn't you?
Oh and also, i don't know who played Lina Steele OOCly but she made a good point of admins trying to force s2k in exchange for scripts. I thought this was HL2RP not HL2DM.
gear given out directly correlates to what the combine side can use
if rebels arent equipped to fight synths in some manner then it limits the combine side as to how much they can use them
ya'll are overthinking the gear shit anyway, atm i'd say there's only 3-4 rebels that have the high end shit ur talking about the rest of them have lesser stuff

there is no admin side solution the only way to change behaviour is to call it out which is why i posted it in the first place (like what happened to CPs a few years ago)
the more people are aware of the problems the more they can work towards fixing it, maybe some people just arent aware of what theyre doing

gear isnt the issue its the way people treat it, if you stop giving out the top tier shit something else will become the new top tier or goal
well yeah.
like i said the only way to overcome this is to have more good people versus bad people, so don't be dissuaded too much by the morons cus if ur dissuaded then itll only make the issue worse
i can absolutely guarantee you that there isnt as many morons as u think tho

I very much like that fortifications have to be repaired through RP, and that stuff has to be located to do that - +1 for it. It's a really good choice in terms of building the settlement up
I just can't describe playing a character that is RP focused, in any other way, than feeling punishing. I am near permanently on 50/50% water and food, I have next to nothing to my name and few people even acknowledge my presence because I don't swing my dick around in my RP presence or item presence
The biggest thing I've done so far, is commit an obscenely detailed and gruesome murder in the presence of some other people who happened to be good RPers, thankfully. It is the only time I felt rewarded for RP, and it was another player who "rewarded" it.
With rebels being forced into such a small area, you are surrounded by the smeg heads instead of being able to go to people who want to take the time, instead of run after supplies 24/7 for sweet runescape loot drops
Like mentioned in the murder part, it means the world if people reward people who put genuine effort into their playing, instead of low-effort 1D characters that cum on their stomachs over the sight of some pixels on the ground
Reward interesting characters that do it well, instead of whoever joins your group - just because they are in your group or your "friends" doesn't mean they deserve shit

I would hypothesize that the Combine hitting rebels quite hard at this point is also partly a reason why latter are beginning to get blinded by greed. The supply chopper stuff got half-fucked, and with the synth station ready, they now have the liberty of tossing out all sort of carapace-clad critters as they did back in the Depot map. Not to mention the fact they almost knocked on our doors with that one assault earlier.
Vorts aren't as powerful on this map with the combination of fog and terrain making confrontations between the likes of them and Hunters a lot more even. With the whole mobility of Hunters and infinite ammopool, which I've seen firsthand with my rock cover once getting sprayed by a dozen or more consecutive shots, as well as flechettes effectively working like miniature grenades upon near-miss, they're incredibly powerful.
