TNTuniverse presents Rad-Storm RP. This is a gamemode using clockwork. We have worked on many aspects to give it the feel of the experience that we are all aiming for. Its a post apocalyptic wastland contaning all of the best elements of Fallout, Stalker and more. We use lots of custom addons to bring the best experiance to all the players. At the moment the Server is in a closed alpha testing phase which means that not all features are yet in the gamemode. We are offering you a place amongst the first alpha testers, so that you can begin to help shape the gamemode for many people to join in the future when we release the server into 1.0.

So far in the alpha we have 2 main factions.
[B][U]The Old World Organisation[/U][/B]
The Old World Organisation is the remainder of the nearby government and they are a capitalist faction. There members can specialise in the following area's.
[H] - Heavy Trooper
[R] - Rescue Team Trooper
[D] - Drill Instructor
[M] - Field Medic
[E] - Field Engineer
It is a military faction with the goals of being the main authority in the wasteland. Its ill advised to mess with these guys as they can have a bad side. They are normally seen in patrols of 2 or more, and are always heavily armed.
[B][U]Soviet Remnants [/U][/B]
! Infomation to follow !
[U][B]IC factions[/B][/U]
These factions are not huge prebuild factions but, are instead groups of players united under one name. Anyone can start one of these factions with out telling an admin or needing to do anything. This is the joy of this rp. I could go on the server make a new character and form a cult.

Cool. Is the gamemode using a skeleton Schema or is it built onto another gamemode?
For the alpha it uses a heavily modified version of hl2rp. At some point in the alpha or beta it will be its own schema.

1. No fun allowed
2. No creativity allowed unless it conforms with the server admin's imagination at that time
3. Say lol in OOC and get banned forever you disruptful person.
4. No reading OOC at all ever or you're meta gaming and its all your fault, even if the enemy divulged all of their battle plans over it.
5. Be afraid of what admins tell you to be afraid of or you're not RPing correctly.
6. RP how the admins tell you or you're not RPing correctly.
7. Shoot how the admins tell you to shoot or you did it wrong and didn't sufficiently kill the person you just put a dozen holes into.
7. No using in-game systems for something we could probably script in a restriction for, but didn't
8. We made up bad words by putting minge infront of it as to encourage you not to do it, better /me everything or you're obviously a huge prop spamming server menace that must be dealt with.
9. You can't be a god-like killing machine that can snipe people from across the map and live through 30 clips of 7.62 (>unless an admin says you can :)<)

Sorry but thats basically what I got from it.
Really though, your whole rule set sounds like it belongs in an HL2RP server, did you copy paste from somewhere in the script? Because you did mention its a modified 'hl2rp' script (whatever that means)
The whole point of your setting is anarchy and constant character danger, what you essentially set up here is so many buffers and road blocks to what makes apocalypse servers tick, is that you might as well just run an HL2RP server and be done with it.
The wasteland suddenly doesn't seem all that dangerous when your shit can't be stolen without writing a book of /mes or you must be engaged in gentlemanly conversation before anyone can actually kill you.
You may think its not going to be that bad but it is, people get bitchy when their stuff is stolen or their character is killed, and essentially what this is going to boil down to is a 5 page long forum argument every time a character is killed because 'they didn't /me correctly'.
Serious RP is not Dark RP we take our players experience seriously and these rules help us do that. Taking the whole rules section out of context is just stupid. You have never seen the server and therefore you cannot vouch for whether the rules restrict you in any way. Anyway this is your own opinion and it will stay like that.
Serious RP is [B]serious[/B] in every aspect of it, you have to write down what you do in detail and with proper grammar. Its not your shoot-loot darkRP experience. You are clearly referring to non-serious, or semi-serious roleplay.
Have a nice day :D

Its possible to have serious roleplay without billions of incredibly restrictive rules, 'shoot and loot' isn't dark rp, its basically a hallmark of apocalypse RPs, except its more 'shoot and loot, be careful he doesn't have friends or isn't armed enough to fight back and possibly end us in the process.' and since you don't have that you'd have to rely on story, which honestly doesn't look all that well put together either seeing as you're attempting to mash fallout and stalker together despite them having almost nothing in common except maybe they have the same post-apoc setting.
This is the problem with gmod roleplay these days, when its 'serious' that must obviously mean you have to write books of /me's every 3 steps to make sure you accurately document your character's breathing, otherwise you have admins not unlike civil protection showing up and breathing down your neck. If you want to do this kind of RP then just do it with text rp on a forum or some other program, because using a 3D scriptable world for this is just a massive waste of potential and is almost the literal definiton of boring and disappointing.

[b]***t h e agrees with the man, and slowly, but surely, clicks the green agree button in the rating list, smiling fondly and pondering upon the subject and how right this man is.[/b]
I seem to disagree.[QUOTE] 4. No reading OOC at all ever or you're meta gaming and its all your fault, even if the enemy divulged all of their battle plans over it.[/QUOTE] The original rule was no OOC racism. Being racist out of character can be hurtful to some people and yet your saying it stops you from having fun. Like I said before and members of the community without a facepunch account agree with this. You have not seen the server and therefore you cannot vouch whether the rules restrict you in any way. Also all of the alpha testers have agreed to these rules and have a really fun experience.

We coordinate with at least one very good lore / story writer. People have made stories about their own characters and other characters learn that through talking with them. Everyone's character has a backstory made in advance by the player. This is all their own idea's and does not need to be posted anywhere, it just needs to be in their head.

At the first point you completely dodged what my 'joke' was actually aimed at, its this little concept called 'meta-gaming', aka using OOC info IC.
In case you forgot human nature, let me give you an example. If an enemy attacking force says over OOC they're about to attack your base, this automatically gives them something I call 'rule armor' (this term can apply to alot of things, in general its using server rules to exploit things in your favor, and its easier to do the more strict and numerous the rules are.), if your team prepares for this attack in any way (which your team will be instinctively doing regardless), hell, if you so much as hold off their attack without even preparing its obviously against the rules since you obviously meta-gamed. Stop trying to deflect my point by making me out to be a racist or something.
Your second point also completely missed the mark, im not saying that character stories aren't going to exist, nor am I saying everyone is making it up as they go, im saying its going to be incredibly unoriginal and flat thanks to the fact that you can't have your character be special in any interesting way without having to report to the admins for it first, what this also means is that elitism will breed faster than the zerg, you'll have specialty uber characters from the brotherhood of stalker because they were friends with your admin team while other new players are forced to be 'unskilled teenager that cant shoot or do anything.'
One more thing, this isn't an 'alpha' its just an edited script, its a final version that you just slapped 'unfinished don't criticize1!1' because you don't want to assed to make something properly polished before 'releasing', you just want to push it out the door and get players rolling in so they can do your work for you and maybe promote your other community servers in the process. Nowhere did I say that character stories need to be laid out in writing, what I DID say is that you should just migrate to text RP because that's essentially what you've set up here.
Alright I have taken a while to look at your posts and I originally felt that you were being offensive and rude to the hard work we have done. Now I see that you are just trying to help so we have discussed with the dev that made the rules and have changed them. As I said it is a Alpha so it is early days and everything is subject to change.

Stop trying to deflect my point by making me out to be a racist or something.[/QUOTE] In response to this any admin is under the idea that if they announce the attack in OOC then they will be told they cannot carry out an attack. This is as they have given the the other faction time to prepare and they have given themselves a possible advantage in the way of possible allies or other means. This would also be the case if anything major was to happen that was announced in OOC.
If anything I have said has been offensive I apologize now and can assure anyone reading this thread that we are working hard to make the Server a better place and to give the players a better experience. We are already working to make the suggestions that the players have given us into reality.

5. Taking/Grabbing an item without allowing other players to take action first may be considered minge grabbing.
[/QUOTE]
These two really contradict. So you can't metagame unless your items are being taken.
Pretty much creating a scenario like this...
Guy 1 attempts to take his gun while he is turned
Guy 2 suddenly has his Spidey Senses go off and turn around kicking the guy
If you don't want people taking items quickly then install a mechanic to prevent it. Installing etiquette rules will only worsen the problem.
[QUOTE]Guy 1 attempts to take his gun while he is turned

Its late so this may not be the best time to reply but im going to anyway. In this scenario if Guy 2 has not seen it then its fine. However we we are trying to prevent is everyone rushing towards the main loot and shouting "mine, mine, mine.".
