Two passiveRP stories which are fond memories of a friend I used to have until he got completely fucked up on heroin.
Car Leasing
[quote]On this particular server, my friend and I were fairly wealthy, and the cars were extremely expensive. Most new players could not afford a car before around a week of playtime, and the server was running evocity, so having a car was a very nice convenience. Well my friend and I decided we wanted to capitalize on that, so we set up car leasing. I actually broke out a laptop and used like MS Excel or something similar to keep track of people's lease times even across server loads. We also came up with a wiremod system to put on the car that would keep track of time left and automatically shut off the car and lock it if their time is expired. (We would charge them a fee to pick it up/re-activate it). I don't remember making a ton of money from this but it was very fun and it was great to interact with people in a way that didn't involve one person shooting the other.[/quote]
Safety Deposit Boxes
[quote]Same server, different scenario. Because we were wealthy and decent with wiremod, we were able to set up a fairly good secure base, guarded with fully automatic rifles. Most new players, again, were not able to afford such luxury. So we set up a bunch of those PHX boxes and a wiremod system to retrieve or store the contents of any of them with an x/y input. (I had too much time on my hands, what can I say). I don't remember what we charged per hour of storage but I do remember making quite a bit of money on that. I'm really surprised people even trusted us with their valuables but it somehow worked out. I guess because we were fairly reputable on the server.[/quote]
I'll try and think of a few more, I have quite a few decent GmodRP stories. Just a matter of pulling the gold out of the mud.
FUCK YOU FACEPUNCH
I just spent half a day writing this story and instead facepunch went no.
Sorry guys, blame facepunch.
We should gather a gang and play together.
What server though?
[QUOTE=wauterboi;45140682]While you guys are coming up with dystopian novels, I'm taking the high road, baby.
Back on ExiledServers, I was driving my hummer along the rooftops of all the buildings in the city and eventually made my way to the top of Nexus. (the biggest building in the map) I accidentally fell off and landed directly onto the mayor. I also exploded.
THE END[/QUOTE]
ExiledServers, dear god - played on there. Not sure what happened when it closed down.
I would like to know where does all that stuff happen as every server I go on is lolderp clusterfuck.
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;45164248]I would like to know where does all that stuff happen as every server I go on is lolderp clusterfuck.[/QUOTE]
90% or more of my DarkRP (and others) experience has been shit. 'Hitmen' running around doing hits for $1 because they just want to kill people, cops just spamming arrest baton everywhere, 'gangs' doing nothing but barricading themselves in printing. But every once in a while you'll find a good group of people and then you can have a good experience.
Speaking of which, this is sort of two small stories together. This is how to actually be a hitman on DarkRP, as demonstrated by a friend of mine.
The Real Estate Agency + The Professional Hitman
[quote]Most hitmen complete their hits in broad daylight and in the middle of the street, shop, police station, wherever their $1 target happens to be. Well, my friend was not that way.
First off, he charged upwards of $4,000 a hit. More if they were a VIP target (crime boss, mayor, police chief, etc). When he got a hit, he did it professionally. No one knew he was there, except the target.
So let me back up for a second. On this server, someone decided they were going to buy all the front doors of 90% of the buildings and start a real estate agency to either sell or lease the buildings. Apparently someone didn't like that so they contracted hitmanguy to take care of him. Hitmanguy contacted the realtor and set up an appointment to take a look at a property or two. He said it has to have a front room and a private back room. So the realtor, all too happy to oblige, offered to show him the Cafe in Evocity. After some discussion, they went into the back room. Let's just say only the hitman left.
Realtor guy got in teamspeak and was the happiest victim of a hit I've ever seen, he was just happy to not have been gunned down in the middle of the road.[/quote]
I guess that story isn't super interesting but it sort of shows that it really doesn't take much effort and you can make RP a lot more pleasant of an experience for everyone if you just put a little bit of time and thought into it.

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;45166585]The stories movitated me to try a few servers. [b]I felt nothing but pain[/b][/QUOTE]
If you want to encourage good roleplay, here's a few things I've come to learn over the years of playing RP on and off:
[b]Good roleplay starts at the top and works its way down.[/b] The order is admins -> cops -> shop keepers -> other people. (and within other people, gang leaders/org bosses -> gangster/org member) If the admins are fucking around, even if it's OOC, no one can be expected to RP seriously. From there, it works its way down. If you aren't an admin, the next best thing you can do is be a cop. It helps if you bring a few buddies along. Unfortunately, DarkRP isn't the greatest platform for good cop rp but it can be done. In servers with cars, I have pulled people over with every intention of letting them off with a warning - simply because it creates an atmosphere of good rp and shows people that you CAN rp without someone getting killed or arrested. It also discourages people from seeing a cop and immediately shooting at him or running away.
[b]People generally don't want to be the odd one out.[/b] If most of the server is just dicking around, there's not much reason for someone who is capable of good rp to do so. If most of the server is roleplaying correctly, then most people will follow suit. This goes along with the above, but is more like the bandwagon appeal.
[b]Printers are the scourge of all roleplay.[/b] This isn't really something you can change as a player, but to any server owners, if you want GOOD roleplay, disable printers on your server. I mean all of them, even the default ones. Most servers I have been to that include printers basically turn into "lock your doors shove as many props as you can in front of said door buy printers obtain money shoot anyone who knocks on your door"
[b]Bend the rules.[/b] Any servers I run typically have had 1 rule: Don't be an idiot. If you follow this one simple rule, you will be fine. Any server that disagrees is likely not worth playing on. Many servers have a laundry list of rules stating what you can and can't do as each particular job. This is a great way to 1.) Nitpick apart someone's actions because they sort of broke rule II.3.a section 6 and get them punished even though what they did was not even remotely bad and 2.) Restrict the shit out of anyone's creativity. If you are an admin, [b]let people bend rules[/b]. Almost every awesome RP I have been a part of has in some way bent some rule somewhere along the line. But if the overall result is for the better, I personally think it's completely justified.
[b]Hesitate to kill.[/b] Killing someone abruptly ends any rp situation you are in with that particular person. Therefore, if you just keep killing everyone, you will never get those interesting in-depth rp scenarios that we have been sharing in this thread.
[b]Pretend like you aren't a rich bastard.[/b] Let's face it. In most DarkRP servers, the economy is completely fucked (thanks to printers). So literally anyone who has played more than a few days is a millionaire, if not billionaire. But if you actually rp as if you aren't, it can lead to some more interesting scenarios (and less weapon spam).

[quote][B]Hobo Resistance Union[/B]
[B][U]-NO PICTURE- MAKE ONE MAYBE? -NO PICTURE-[/U][/B]
This tale starts during the Serious RP Breakup of 2008... Now, I know that a few people from this forum were defiantly around during this period, and are probably rolling their eyes right now about the over dramatic title, but let these youngin's hear about it!
In this period, we had three major RP communities break apart and form several splinter groups, and at the same time, this was when we saw one of the first public releases of Falco's Dark RP. The year of 2009 was set up in such a way where new gamemodes and communities, began to come online en' masse. From this era of creation and development came a gamemode known as Office RP... As the name implies, it was a gamemode which acted like a real life office. The odd thing about these guys though was that they kept the server locked, and instead of just getting people from Facepunch to come play, they would go onto random Dark RP servers, set up a recruitment office, and hire players from those servers.
It was just a very surreal experience when I started working for them. My first job with these guys was going into their server, and doing some paper work on a modified version of PCMod 2 that they had. Most of the work comprised of me monitoring other worker's activities, making files of any incidents of accidents that occurred during worktime, and just... Filing it. This was my job on Office RP for roughly two weeks. The pay I was given was roughly $50,000 for five hours of work, and it was very much a cake walk. The few times I came into contact with other workers, I found them describing similar jobs. One guy was a crane operator, one guy worked on designs, and we had this one girl who was a Steam Message assistant for the "boss".
Now here's the odd thing about Office RP. The Boss was a worker just like use. Sorta like a store manager for McDonalds. He made sure that we had a project from the "organization" that we were working for, and that when we completed a project, said project was delivered to those that we needed it to be delivered too. The chick I was talking about earlier, was a member of the "organization" and she usually took messages from the boss, forwarded them to the "organization", and likewise kept us is contact with anyone we needed to be in contact with. Most of our workers had not a clue, who we were working for, yet we never questioned that... As long as the money kept flowing, we kept working.
As time went on, I moved up the ranks from a PCMod Operator, to an operator of a control panel room with blacked out windows. Never was I informed on what exactly I was controlling with the panel, but my job was quiet simple really... When ordered to press a certain button, I would do it. It was from this that I continued to get paid $50,000 a day, and I went along with my "job". Time went along, and eventually I started to communicate with other players about the "organization" that we worked for. All though many of them were just as clueless as I was, one of them later spilled the beans, and told us that we were working for a clan that built GCombat and Wiremod related contraptions for use in DarkRP servers. THese contraptions varied from tanks, bombs, and simple helicopters used by Police Forces to transport supplies and the like. All though this seemed rather simple, and non-complicated, it brought more questions to us and all of us started to study our jobs more, hoping to figure out what exactly we were doing.
One of the guys realized that his job was operating a crane system that lifted boxes of ammunition, and brought them down into vehicles. Makes sense. One of the PCMod Operators read a few of his files on his off period and found that the files contained an encrypted code, alongside some messages discussing servers where our vehicles were being sold to... Makes sense. Then finally, I studied my own contraption, but with the blacked out windows... I was clueless. While I studied my platform for some hidden secrets, I later decided to just listen to what was going on outside of the blacked out control room, and found myself hearing the sound of a toolgun and footsteps going on. About fifteen toolgun clicks every minute, and quiet a bit of foot movement... Roughly two to three people. What were these people doing? I would most likely never find out, but everyone of our guys discussed their finding to each other, and then went back to work. Trying to ignore our newly acquired knowledge.
The next day, we had been updated on a new project that we were going to start working on... The title of which was "Project Hercules" our designer quickly made a design, submitted it to the Boss, and he then forwarded it to his Steam Message Assistant(SMA), who sent it off to the organization. The organization seemed kinda rushed with their response, demanding that we immediately start production. This went beyond our usual two day confirmation process, but we were not going to question them, and we got to our factory positions and started our usual construction process. The windows I had still remained blacked out, every PCMod Operator was still operating files, and our other crane operators did the same thing that I was doing. Our boss confirmed for the first time that we had manufactured six units of Project Hercules, and that they were going to be shipped out immediately.
...Shipped out? What was he talking about? You cannot transfer contraptions across servers! Well outside of this little mental note, he sent us home early, but with full pay, and I went off to the server I came from and visited a local bar. That night a local Garry's Mod band was playing, and they had brought with them a new group of instruments. These instruments they used was an Expression One system that used a virtual keyboard to prompt sounds being played, and the aesthetics of the instruments resembled instruments from the Grinch movie! Every member of the audience was excited about the amazing sounds being played, and listening to the vocals of a female player singing a love song which I believe was titled "Contraptions Colliding" I remember some of the lyrics to this day even!
[quote][B]And we hum closer back and forth
Colliding as our contraptions go closer ever more
Watch as we sing a song so peaceful to mind
Let our contraptions collide into the night!
Ohh yes, let us collide into the night[/B][/quote]
As the song came to an end, and the band began to build and code their next instruments. As the audience waited for the next song, two people in the audience began to have a conversation about "strange things" they saw in a nearby area. They described players teleporting in contraptions, yet the server did not have advanced duplicator, and described seeing GCombat weapons being used in the server. Several people started listening to the players, and their conversations got darker and darker as time went on... Describing horrible activities being done by this group of players who were teleporting in contraptions, and how they had a weapon which could "destroy a base within the blink of an eye"... Before they started to describe where these players were, they realized that everyone was staring at them in shock, and one of the guys realized that he may of said to much, and him and his friend ran out the door. It was such a strange experience.
Well, I stayed at the bar and listened to three more songs that the band had tuned up, and when they were done, gave them a round of applause over my microphone, and left the bar. It was a long walk back to the house where I had my money printers at, but I made the walk back, and as I was about the enter the apartment block on Downtown_V2, I turned and looked across the street to see two hobos infront of the OfficeRP Recruitment Office, with signs saying, "No more War of The Servers!" "Stop bringing war to our home!" I was startled and confused, and decided to walk over to them and ask what exactly they were talking about.
As they shouted at me and described the same things the guys at the bar were talking about, I was almost about t

I have printers on my server but i'm coding a little something that should make them a lot more RP friendly, basically printers are an illegal item, you cant exactly waltz down to walmart and buy a dozen money printers so I'm making it so they must be built from raw materials and fed a constant supply of paper to remain operational.
Some raw materials such as wood and scrap metal can be produced but other types must be shipped in from the city warehouse which has limited stocks and variable price depending on how much of that type of resource is left. This will mean it will be possible to buy when a certain type of resource is common and sell it back to the city or to other players for a huge price when that particular resource is scarce.
Basically the whole server will be interconnected by the flow of resources so you cant just sit in a back room with all your printers and refuse to RP because those printers need to be fed paper and that paper needs to be bought or produced from somewhere. It will also mean you can make lots of cash via raw material production or smart manipulation of the economy without even touching a single money printer.
But of course pretty much none of this is coded yet except the physical shells of the resource items and they are only good as paperweights at the moment :v:

This is a interesting story, it happened on one of my favorite DarkRP server until they went generic and eventually shut-down. It all started the day when all the players have been told that the rules have been updated and that they should check out the MOTD for the update. Under the building rules section of rules (I really don't know why there were so many rules or why I put up with them, I guess I was just a mind-less roleplayer.) the administration team had decided to add a new rule.
[QUOTE]Rule #: KOS signs / lines are not allowed to placed. Instead you must give them a warning to leave and if they don't leave you can then shoot.[/QUOTE]
Obviously to people who relied on these lines as a excuse to kill people as soon as they enter the building were upset and disappointed. Being a mindless roleplayer there I of-course obeyed the rules and put ban requests on people who didn't, so this was fine for me as I didn't base much and I could easily adapt to the new system. Those people who I mentioned before were determined to find a new way to kill players as soon as they entered the building so they found a loophole and abused it.
In the rules it said only KOS lines and signs were banned, but it did not say that having signs which mean the same thing (Trespassing = Death) but with different wording were not allowed. So news spread out and soon these signs like this were popping up everywhere.
And that is the story of the "Trespassing = Death" text-screen.
Not exciting as you guys, but I was bored one time, so me and my two buddies started kidnapping people and made an illegal fight club, we had all sorts of secret messages and ways of communicating, making sure that we had people who had no idea what we were doing so we could use them, we would take bets and everything. Such a good time.
Some people even wanted to fight more when they won.

Most stories I have told thus far have had me playing as some forbearing character, of which most people probably question the authenticity of the story. This one though... I do not play any real important role outside of just witnessing a bit of history on some random obscure DarkRP server, that no longer exists.
For me to start with this story, I should probably give some context. In 2009, I had recently helped a group of admins take down a group known as the Plane Builders which had been exploiting bugs in the Garry's Mod dua files, that allowed people to upload things like viruses and keyloggers. This victory though came at the price of many people involved in the operation being hunted down from server to server, getting "trolled" into quitting Garry's Mod. Not me though.
Instead, I did what any "good" war veteran would do after something as large as that victory... I went to a random Dark RP server, and made a bar known as the "Burning Tripod" which was a reference to the movie War of The Servers, and how the admins of servers, after a hopeless battle over a weekend, managed to overcome the destructive mingebag "tripods" that had conquered Garry's Mod... It was oddly fitting really if you kinda think about it.
Well anyway... After I had set up this bar in some random DarkRP server, it seemed that I became the goto guy for everyone's problems on the server. Lot of the time it was people talking to me about real life issues, and I'd sometimes have to talk people out of committing suicide and the like, and on very rare occasions, people would actually talk about events going on in the server. This day was one of those days where I would finally get to hear what was going on outside my bar and apartment on the server, and that situation was a currently brewing insurrection being fueled by none-other than the Plane Builders. They had taken over several sectors of the city including the Red Warehoure, Yellow Warehouse[and building next to it], Gun Shop, and Sewers. From what I understand, the guys attacking the server were apart of a group known as "Chris's Marines" which was the remnants of a Plane Builder invasion force that has been sidetracked and most of it's equipment was bogged down on this server. The equipment they had though was pretty... lackluster? It was some low-blast radius wire explosives and a horridly inaccurate mortar that would be used to propel the explosives and light them on fire. Accuracy was a dimension of something like twenty feet. Pretty shitty if you wish to do something worth a damn, but for them, being able to attack civilian populations was worth while so... Yeah.
Well, for the past five hours the local Police Department was attempting to dislodge the Marines from the sewers in order to shut down one of their main supply routes for guns. Even though they had access to firearms from the gunshop, they still had to get the guns to the Yellow Warehouse, and transporting them on the surface was pretty much a guaranteed suicide mission. Cops pretty much had all surface routes locked down, so the next best thing was to quickly run the guns to the nearby houses with direct connections to the rail road, and then, the sewers.
It wasn't all the complicated for them really, but the cops were having a hardtime dealing with the fact that a group of insurgents would literally come out of nowhere, attack a gunstore, steal AK-47s/Shotguns, and bolt off with the weapons that would now fuel a ground war. Most details seemed to be obscured really by a lot of the players who were just passing them down from the stories they heard, but the gist was that the cops had been fighting this sewer war for probably about two hours know, and they had only managed to secure the main entry near the Nexus, and about 75% of the lower station. This wasn't enough though to stop the supplies of handguns from reaching their base of operations at the Yellow Warehouse, and without a good way to stop the Marine group, they were only getting more and more powerful as time went on.
With the Marines getting more weapons, it was obvious that some players took favor to joining the side of the Marines so they could farm money printers and have guns. Some people actually went as far as to nickname these people "traitors" as they had disowned the DarkRP community simply to farm money printers... In DarkRP. Sorta odd really, but whatever floats their boat. With this situation growing and growing though, I kept hearing gossip stories of the massive wars and battles going on in the Sewers, and then finally, someone complained over OOC that trenchlines had been built between the Yellow Warehouse and Nexus... I ran over and was met with Blastdoor trenchlines with ladders, and people roleplaying eating "babies"

The horror of trench warfare. They resorted to eating unborn babies, and started worshipping Satan as the war dragged on against the Marines. As you can probably tell by the pictures by the way... When the trenchlines finally got setup, I joined the CPs, and swiftly got upped into the Chief spot, where I was left to my own devices against the opposing trenchline only about 20 meters away from us. It was quiet a weird sight to see two trenchlines setup in such a fashion where players were actually shooting guns at each other, and taking cover, and the occasional sound of artillery explosions were not to far off with the Marines using their inaccurate mortars against us. Quiet a scenic battle really... Yet, for all it scenery we never got to see a conclusion to it. Before any charges took place, the server had crashed. :|

Stuff like this just doesn't happen anymore. I would think now-days all of the involved players would be permanently banned for RDM, FailRP, ect.
You've been through so much great shit it almost makes me jealous.
I wish this was still around, The amount of Joy and laughter you would get from these moments would be priceless and would be some good memory's in your life.
I have had my fair share of good and bad moments in Garry's Mod. If I had to talk about a bad moment, I'd have to say when I found out that a really well know member of a clan I was in had committed suicide. The worst part about it was that a few people, including myself, kept checking our Steam friends list for about two weeks... Hoping our buddy would log back in, and it'd all be just some fucked up joke.
I reflected on the fact that, on the internet, you share moments with thousands of ghosts, if you will. All of these ghosts only have a voice to resonate with you, and when one of them disappears, that voice is gone. You may only know things like their real life name, maybe a few photos of them on the internet, and the memories you have of them.
I feel odd knowing that some of the best and most friendly people I have ever met are these ghost. A few of which I have taken the time to meet up with in real life, and just hang out for a day to fuck around and have fun. But knowing the feeling I had for those two weeks... Just wanting your friend to come back and talk to you, it just leaves you empty.
