General Discussion / Comr4de's rather nifty space roleplays
« on: January 12, 2012, 10:05:03 AM »

TITLE TEXT HERE

No, this is not another clusterforget like the original argos RP. Stop talking about that. Since then I've learned a lot about roleplays, the most important being that if you have jackasses running around claiming t be super duper secret assassins nothing is going to work.

wats a roleplay
A roleplay is essentially playing pretend for big kids. In this context, we're in space.

What happens in these roleplays?
Plots arcs are fulfilled, and people interact with one another. There are two kind of plot arcs, major and personal. Major plot arcs are started by the ops officer or the captain. Nobody else. Personal plot arcs are how everyone is affected or reacts to major plot arcs.
The roleplays themselves usually start with me assigning one of two plot specific roles; Operations officer and Captain. Unless I know there are two capable and imaginative storytellers/roleplayers in the server, I will always fill one of these roles. The operations officer controls radar and communications. They're responsible for giving missions, and relaying orders from command. In short, they're the dungeonmaster. The captain organizes his crew as he sees fit and reacts to these orders and completes these missions using the crew as he sees fit. Sometimes, one of the greater overarching plots may involve a mutiny, or assassination of the captain.

What are the rules?
  • Local chat will usually be on. Radio mod allows you to communicate over greater distances. Most of my RPs will use dephurites/jincux's radio mod. To tune into the radio channel, type "/radio channel 1". To send a radio message, type a "#" in front of the message. Ex. #hey guys the reactor is on fire
  • Unless you're an admin, death = ban until current roleplay is over. This isn't because I don't like anyone in particular, it's to prevent the "HURR U MISSED" bullstuff when you're one foot away from someone and you shoot them ten times in the face.
  • No stupidity. If you randomly run into the bridge and scream that the martians are invading you'll be shot on sight.
  • ONLY THE CAPTAIN OR THE OPERATIONS OFFICER MAY INTRODUCE MAJOR PLOT ARCS. You may not magically become an alien because it is a disease you have, unless you acquired said disease on a mission given by the Ops officer or Captain.
  • Listen to your captain. Disobeying orders is mutiny and treason, and unless you have enough crew on your side to start a mutiny, you will likely die.
  • Please please PLEASE do not ask for admin. Anyone who is deserving of admin knows how to get it and if you have to ask you probably aren't one of them.

Well that's enough of that. Now for the fleet list. I'm posting this for pretty much everyone's benefit, but this is mostly to benefit the captains so they know what their ships are capable of. All jobs are listed in the RECOMMENDED order in which they should be assigned.

Lucifer

Corvette-sized vessel, fast and lightly armed.
  • Weapons: 8x Forward firing torcreep tubes, 2x double barreled plasma cannons, 2x LRM launchers, 4x rear firing torcreep tubes.
  • Major systems: ops, helmsman, engineering, gunnery, security
  • Special notes: All engine repairs require the engineer to go EVA to repair, as there is no dedicated engien room.


Lily

  • Weapons: 2x forward firing torcreep tubes, 4x double barrel plasma cannon turrets, 2x forward firing pulse cannons, 6x point defense guns, and an inoperative main cannon.
  • Major systems:ops, helmsman, engineering, gunnery,  medical, security, cargo, security, fighter pilot
  • Special notes: The back and front sections of the ship can be separated by securing the jeffries tube on deck 2 and closing the bulkheads on deck 1.


Argos

  • Weapons: forget me not even I remember
  • Major systems:ops, helmsman, engineering, gunnery, security, medical, atomsphere control, chef
  • special notes: Good all around ship. Has flak dispersal launchers to deal with enemy fighters and boarders up close.


Danube

  • Weapons: 3x triple barrel maelstrom cannon trurets, 1x forward firing Wave motion gun, 21 quad AA gun turrets, 1x rear firing laser turret.
  • Major systems: ops, helm, engineering, gunnery, wave motion gun crew, medical, chef, security, fighter pilots
  • Special notes: The wave motion gun is the most powerful space weapon known to blockkind. This power is offset by the time it takes to charge and that it may only fire 8 times before needing to return to base for a reload.


FAQ:
Q: Com, I joined the server but nobody is talking.
A: Local chat is on. I will usually try to turn off local chat for a split second to say "hi, local chat is on" and then reactivate it.

Q: Com, I spawned and there's an RP in progress. How do I become a part of it?
A: I will either tele you aboard and tell you to report to the captain, or you will wait until we do a boarding op. During the boarding op you will be discovered by the boarding party and be escorted back to the ship for assignment.

Q: Com, the captain is an idiot and is doing a bad job!
A: Lead a mutiny.

Q: I have a really cool idea for a plot arc! How do I let the host know?
A: You can notify me or any of my admins over steam or IRC, and if it's good enough, you may be selected as the next ops officer.

Q: Com, increase the playercount/add me as autoadmin/do something involving RTB!!!

General Discussion / RE: Scattered Space Build-Off
« on: December 09, 2011, 10:21:30 PM »
Quote from: Gizmo
I am trying to recruit some good builders for a build-off I am putting together which will be hosted by Scattered Space. I have talked to some other players to try to make this a big event to find the best builder on Blockland.

I hope to have a server for it up by Christmas and then their will be about a month for everyone to build. Their will then be judging by me and a selected few. This will be for any player that wants to build something but I am recruiting good builders to try and make this a success. If it is a success then we will host a Build-Off annually or something of the sort.

If you have any questions about it or and suggestions for people I should talk to, please mail me back.

Thanks,
Gizmo

Dear Gizmo:

I would love to participate. I cannot PM, so if you can PM me your email or steam account name, I would be more than happy to talk with you.

SINCERELY COMRAD

Essay generator makes "essays" about anything you plug in.

I put one in about booty:

   
An essay on booty

To delve deeply into booty is an exciting adventure. I really, really like booty. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism, booty is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the worlds famous painters. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to the easily lead, who form the last great hope for our civilzation. Complex though it is I shall now attempt to provide an exaustive report on booty and its numerous 'industries'.

Social Factors

There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. The immortal and indispensable phrase ‘honesty is the best policy’ [1] failed to understand that if one seriously intends to 'not judge a book by its cover', then one must read a lot of books. No symbol is more potent than booty in society today. It smells of success.

Status, Security, Fame - booty, all revolve around this 'golden fleece'. Just as a dog will return to its own sick, society will return to booty, again and again.

Economic Factors

Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. Of course, booty fits perfectly into the Simple-Many-Pies model, as is standard in this case.

Inflation    

                            booty

Clearly the graphs demonstrates a strong correlation. Why is this? In spite of the best efforts of The World Bank inflation sings a very different tune. The economic policy spectrum is seeing a period of unprecedented growth.

Political Factors

Modern politics owes much to the animal kingdom. Comparing current political thought with that held just ten years ago is like comparing booty and former Wolves striker Steve Bull.

One quote comes instantly to mind when examining this topic. I mean of course the words of the famous political Kuuipo T. Time 'consciousness complicates a myriad of progressions.' [2] I argue that his insight into booty provided the inspiration for these great words. Both spectacular failure and unequaled political accomplishment may be accredited to booty.
Is booty politically correct, in every sense? Each man, woman and to a lesser extent, child, must make up their own mind.

Conclusion

How much responsibility lies with booty? We can say that booty must not be allowed to get in the way of the bigger question: why are we here? Putting this aside its of great importance. It replenishes the self, provides financial security and is always fashionably late.

I will leave you with the words of Hollywood's Keanu Cruise: 'I wouldn't be where I am today without booty.' [3]



Do your worst.

Gallery / Klendathu Drop: The movie: The game!
« on: December 04, 2011, 02:12:57 PM »
BEFORE BEFORE WE START HERE
Yes, I am reposting this topic. The original is too old to bump. Yes, we have not worked on this in two months. Blame school.

We have completely redone the beginning of the map. Instead of a shuttle, we are using drop pods. Instead of magically appearing at the army base, there is a canyon you must fight through. There are much fewer zombies now.

This map will be released on christmas.

BEFORE WE START HERE
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me with this, primarily gadgethm and vionix. Without their support this would never be finished. I'd also like to thank Tingalz, Doomcop, Frog, Monkeyboy, Aqua, I have not, and Legodude77 for donating structures and vehicles in the city. This is one of my few massive projects I actually finish, and I'm immensely proud of it. I hope you guys are too.

Now before we go over the map, Tingalz has aptly described the difficulty of this map.

THIS MAP IS VERY HARD

If your team isn't coordinated you will die before you reach the first rest stop. I guarantee it. We're working to make an easier version that standard lemmings can play, and we'll call that "meatgrinder".

SO

onto the map(s).
First section:

Second Section:

Third section:


Background:
On the planet Klendathu IV, Insurrectionist forces have recently formented a full scale revolt against the colonial government. After weeks of intense warfare, the insurrectionists stole a Biological Weapon, planning to levy a surrender on the part of the government. Mysteriously, the government tripled its offensive against the insurrectionists. With their back to the wall, they used it, with devastating effects.

This is the story of the Marine team sent to retrieve the colonial governor.



An intrepid young soldier gets briefed on the situaton

The armory in the orbiting spaceship

A humble radio station that holds no importance to gameplay

"This village is awfully quiet..."

"I wonder what happened to the soldiers here..."

Down the road, we find what appears to be a fortified village.


Once we get inside, the place is abandoned.



We are soon given orders to move out to an army fort in the countryside. This is the canyon we must travel through.


This isn't a good sign.



A view of the fort from the surrounding forest.


An overview of the fort.


The interior of the main building.


The damaged tank that does nothing more but serve as a decoration.


The other entrance to the fort, much more fortified than the other.


Oh! What's this?


It looks like it's the old freeway tunnel!



The generator room is incomplete but will play a major part in the campaign.
If you repair/refuel/activate the broken generator, it will unlock a secret ending!


Not far from the generator room, the sewer door offer a way to get to the city quickly.
Our intrepid marine checks to see if the coast is clear.


It looks like survivalists use TNT to blow a cavern underground to live in. Impressive


Oh no this temporarily impedes our progress. A color-key to open this door can be found in the camp, at the cost of your primary weapon.


Up to the city we go~~~


There wasn't a lot of intel before the military fell, so you have to make this part up on your own.


Well that's not good.


Oh wow, looks like the police were completely overrun.


Well at least we have a clear shot at the governor's compound. The compound includes documents required to complete the mission.


A view of hte entire city.


Well, those are all the pictures I can show you. We'll have a save released soon, thanks for all your help!

Tingalz: after much drama
Tingalz: The last act of this terrible treachery was played out above Terra, as the COMRAD led a desperate assault against stuffPOSTINGS' flagship. Though the COMRAD was a being of unfathomable psychic and physical might, stuffPOSTING had become mighty indeed, bloated with the powers of all four stuffPOST Gods. After a tragic battle, and though heartbroken at the loss of his favoured son, the COMRAD finally slew stuffPOSTING, though the struggle left him close to death. In this state he was found by TIGALS. The dying COMRAD dictated plans for the arcane life-support machine that would sustain his remaining cells for over ten thousand years, and he was subsequently interred in this altered version of the Golden Throne.

Tingalz: but it all boils down
Tingalz: to one thing
Tingalz: of his
Tingalz: life
Tingalz: that was so changing
Tingalz: and moving
Tingalz: that the earth shook
Tingalz: and volcanoes erupted
Tingalz: and it can all be said
Tingalz: in one phrase
Tingalz: and that phrase
Tingalz: is about to be said
Tingalz: but i warn you
Tingalz: it is not
Tingalz: for the faint of heart
Tingalz: as many have gone insane from it

Off Topic / Nostalgia over ARES and BAN
« on: November 17, 2011, 10:40:41 PM »
Today I was messaged on steam about wether or not ARES or BAN (two relatively prominent blockland clans) would ever return. I was able to reply quickly. Never. I thought back to my first days on blockland, the days of BAN and NWB. I thought back to the formation of ISBC, then ASI, then ISBC again, then ION, and finally of the glory days of ARES. I thought about the construction of the Argos, and the Danube. I thought about being accepted to BAN on the eve of my Philmont trip. I remember the drama concerning our post count, and how everyone in the ARES thread could care less; they were having the times of their lives. But more importantly, I thought about what I learned about friendship and understanding. The lessons I learned with those two clans changed me as a person. However, nothing lasts forever, and it's someone else's turn to forge boldly into the future. No more will those legendary clans show aspiring clans how they should model themselves. What remnants of the classical clans still remain are fading now. Upstart clans like Krypt and Colleagues are even now observing the effects of reality on their already precarious situations. Eventually, they too will fall, and newer clans will rise, leading the community into the future.

Those "glory days" of mine were not completely without blemish. Eventually, ARES fell from grace. We were obsolete. Our gimmick, the Argos, was old news. I tried to hold the clan together by essentially making the members hostages of my own desires. Of course, this failed, and we all went our separate ways. I made the mistake of trusting Jimmg. And then I made it again. And again. Until finally I destroyed what little camaraderie we had left; I posted the "Sue is a Man" topic. I thought it was the funniest thing. I thought I had finally defeated my own self-perceived demons within my past. I was wrong. I destroyed some of the closest friendships I had, and it took me months to repair them. If I could go back and take back one thing I ever did, it would be that.

As I thought more, I told that same person that ARES and BAN were not great because of their titles or their accomplishments, but instead their sense of friendship teamwork. A clan is supposed to be a conglomerate of like-minded builders, thinkers, and eventers. Anything else will surely be doomed to failure. As I finally approach college, the lessons I learned here, from you guys, have proven invaluable. Thank you.
