Role Nation is a new community built upon roleplay - it's serious RP. They have three servers, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RP, a Real Life RP and a Zombie Apocalypse RP.
It uses a completely new script, not like CakeScript or TacoScript. It was made from scratch by one of the best coders for GMod.

Rolenation is the best serious RP community out there. If you are into serious RP I highly recommend for you to sign up on the forums and try it out.
Cool, nice site.
I don't see how the community was reformed. Has a lot of the same people.
[QUOTE=schumacher;17314877]Incredibly talented Lua coder, Amazing script, Amazing roleplay. Shit community, Shit administration. Enough said.[/QUOTE]
I feel hate in that post.
it's an amazing code, and hl2rp did what no other script, not even Darkalionio's TacoScript could do, and that was automated ration distribution through the use of a machine.
I agree that the community's rep has been tarnished by raging administrators and seriously restricted cannon rp (following a set storyline basically) but that has changed since the whole community has adopted a slightly modified KuroScriptHL2RP script that works just aswell, but gives the player a huge amount of freedom. Basically you can do anything as long as it could happen IRL and there is no attempt at attacking the server.
Also, this community in question actually allows the player base to change the storyline when PandemicRP comes in to question. I mean, London ingame just got nuked because the British and American army could not control the infection and now the rp takes place in a desecrated Luton.
Many hours of fun and uncannon roleplay await the serious roleplayer who wishes to take part in this fantastic community.
If I've convinced you and changed your opinion to what other FP users are posting then here's some resources:
For more information about the servers: [url]www.rolenation.com[/url]
The steam group: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/groups/rolenation/[/url]
Server IP addresses:
City RP:71.5.34.135:27025
Pandemic RP:71.5.34.135:27047
S.T.A.L.K.E.R RP:71.5.34.135:27029
All these servers are hosted by Deus Ex Machina. Variations of the script can be found running on PaxMortuus's server (ResEvil) or the outdated Lite RP script named CiderRP. These are all gamemodes which have been developed by the community's owner Kuromeku and are run by communities which are not actually part of Role Nation (kuromeku's reformed group).
We're not all assholes incase you were wondering :P.

You're wrong, kuro is a fucking genius and is epic.
[QUOTE=Matais;17326485]He doesn't care though tbh.
every gamemode is more of a "how many admins have you got in your friends list and we'll give you cool stuff"
also they go on about not needing guns to roleplay, yet all the admins have guns and create private classes to enforce their power upon the standard player.
I played on the pandemic server for a while, it had very fun passive roleplay but it got old quick, all the events consisted of was spawning zombies and you hiding in your little boarded up house while all the admins and arse lickers had fun with their M4s shooting zombies around the map.
and if you complained you were ridiculed and told you couldn't role-play with guns, you were a n00b and should go to darkRP.
Hypocrites.[/QUOTE]
Well said, Matais.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;17326639]TnB will always be best.[/QUOTE]
Role Nation is a thousand times better.
[QUOTE=Matais;17326861]Disagree, Kuro has the better script.
He now only needs the better community (i.e. be a nicer and realise that his opinion should not be law) and a few tweaks of how the system works.
perhaps putting back up public applications for whitelists instead of just whitelisting whoever deep throats the most the admins.[/QUOTE]
TnB has has the better script.
It will have an even better script when TS2 comes out.
TnB is the only good serious roleplaying community left.

HHAHHA, I saw a 16 year old make that on his server
Isn't this just the new name for Conna's community?
I'm not really a fan of his "roleplaying" scripts. I find them to be to limiting in terms of roleplaying. See, the only functions a gamemode script should serve is handling player data and provide a basic framework for the atmosphere of the RP server. Nothing more.
Unfortunately Conna's scripts throw that concept out the window. There's a command for everything where there doesn't need to be (there's even a chat command to lie down, where a simple "+duck" used to suffice, and a command to lean against a wall). Things like this cause the script to take over roleplaying for the player, which isn't as fun as the player actually having control.
Then there's the elitism and admin shit. I once joined one of Conna's server and got very bored very fast. It was a Fallout themed RP server, but there wasn't much to do. I walked around the post-apocalyptic hellscape for a few hours, and found a bunch of admins having fun with guns and custom classes - something normal players can't do.
Admins get the fullest role-playing experience GMod and the script can offer, but plain old community members get a more limited and restrictive version of roleplaying. Predefined player classes with predefined objectives, goals, and characters. Players can't RP what they want to RP, because that would require a new class to be added, break rules, require admins, etc.
I left the GMod Roleplaying scene around January, after Stan totally destroyed Taco 'n' Banana (again). Unfortunately, day after day, the state of GMod RP gets worse and worse.
I am lately seeing more STALKER and pandemicRP. People need more RP escenario, not only Real life RP or this.

Hey, your a bit late on the Taco script 2 thing. Its already out for those who /really/ want it.
The sad thing is, you can't even give the community a second chance. They've tried their best to re-brand it and try something new, try to change from the critism they have been given - and you still give them the same bullshit. Give the guys a break, yeah somethings may need changes - but instead of bitching at them when they're clearly trying, why don't you just go onto their forums and try telling them what needs changing. This admin only bullshit is fake too; the only admins I ever see in major factions here are the leaders of the faction - nobody can run a faction better than an admin because they have the power to do things like whitelists, give flags, etc. [b]Though even that[/b], there's a couple people who aren't even admins and run factions on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. RP. Just saying guys, give 'em a break.
[QUOTE=Doug52392;17328138]Things like this cause the script to take over roleplaying for the player, which isn't as fun as the player actually having control.[/QUOTE]
Then you have this Doug dude, giving the same old lecture about how they have a command for everything, [i]so fucking what[/i]. It gives players the choice to use some commands which add to the atmosphere; if a character is walking down the road, how is he supposed to know some guy is leaning against the wall - when he's 50 metres away? What better than a /lean animation? Even though they have these animations and commands, the players still use /me actions for them - simply to describe the way they are leaning for the other characters close to them at the time, the actual lean animation is just to add to the atmosphere and to let far away characters know you're leaning. [b]If you don't find it 'fun' to use these commands, or you think it's 'the script taking over roleplaying for you', then [i]do not use the commands[/i], pretty simple, eh?[/b]
Sorry Doug, but we aren't living in the 90s anymore, we don't need to use text for everything. We live in an age where graphical representation is key - and the majority of new players, who aren't used to old-school roleplay - prefer actions over words. Don't get me wrong, I use /me's the size of elephants for almost everything I do in roleplay, I'm sure I love the ideal concept of roleplay the same as you - but we simply don't live in that time anymore. Experienced roleplayers can use /me's, where as the new players can perform visually. It's pretty easy to understand, then the experienced roleplayers will teach the new players how to roleplay properly. All you're doing is trying to pick faults in a community that could very well work - if you gave them a chance and helped them, instead of kicking back doing nothing and simply being part of a community ran by somebody else. So until you get up and run your own community, give the guys a break. They re-branded the entire community based on the critism they have received here, and I think they've done a fucking good job.
Amen, and dumb ratings just show your arrogance and stubbornness.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;17326639]TnB will always be best.[/QUOTE]
You are a complete fool. End of story.
You guys are just saying that because Rick was the forefather of GmodRP. Give other developers a chance; I agree that Rick is very talented at mapping and coding, but KuroScript's code is a hell of a lot better. No offence.
And how can you call the admins abusive compared to TnB's community? TnB is a community full of snobs and grammar nazis... I was playing on the TnB servers and 5 minutes after leaving the spawn (trainstation) to go and find some people to roleplay with, I was banned for "FailRP" i.e. not /meing opening the doors and not setting my title.
[QUOTE=Matais;17334193]The admins only "bullshit" is not fake. The people in the private classes are even a) Admins. b) Arse Lickers, ex-admins, personal friends. c) Girls. (or guys pretending to be girls)
The fact that your main point is that "a 'couple' of non-admins run factions on S.T.A.L.K.E.R RP (one of your servers)" just proves our point, anyone could run these factions Kuro as already scripted it on his CityRP server where players can create and run factions and invite other people.
Also changing your name and buying a new domain does not mean you deserve a second chance, Conna needs to change and he is incapable of this.[/QUOTE]
Only admins can run /major/ factions (not player created factions) because it involves heavy organisation and forum priviledges to manage rosters/whitelists etc. You don't know what you are talking about, go back to VM.
Role Nation is a great roleplay community, it's the best roleplay experience out there and I've met some of the best roleplayers on garrysmod there. I'd 100% recommend joining.

While I feel that this community looks like it has promise, there is a huge danger of it falling into the same elitism that ravaged TnB and other Themed RP's. Some people in this thread claim it has already happened, I will judge that when I visit the server, BUT a community must not let admins that do things IC that most other players cannot do, such as get special weapons and armour suits and things like that. Admins are there to assist in the roleplay, by getting rid of troublesome players, and helping new ones. In no way does that give them the right to have their own exclusive, 'better' roleplay than other players enjoy.
