Every time heli got deployed it was either authorized by @GenericPlayer or RB.
And in this case you weren't given permission by generic and I don't think roosebud was even on at the time.
You hopped on your character without permission and took a helicopter out, without permission, to chase down a target for absolutely no reason.

aren't those civilian models lifted from from the HL2 zombie master mod?

Funny piece of history, the literal roots of WW3RP was from a Clone Wars Roleplay server 10 years ago, and they were doing shoot-to-miss.

Brawler said of the first day: "I had no way of advertising of course beyond the people that played my Clone Wars Roleplay - I had a great team of admins who I had recruited and worked with through Clone Wars RP, and there was a whole bunch of them on both sides basically doing everything that I couldn't - crucial to the success - my CWRP really never made it past 30, and within 30 minutes of open this server was up to 30 - on the first day we would have lead a few patrols, and had a few engagements. The big issue that always came up was the shoot to miss policy. Bascially people could use these weapons to shoot clear across the map and kill people, and so policing that was a nightmare."

LemonPunch restarted it with a more team-deathmatch oriented version in 2014. With nebulous carrying it on from 2016 to 2018 and then doing Stasiland.

It's crazy to consider how much of an impact these Star Wars communities had in general. Kinda sad to see them like this these days - sometimes I wish I could play them and enjoy them like the old days.

This is the level of detail I'd love to capture when writing about Gmod history, but there's so much of it I usually have to be pretty general. I could spend ages doing research and writing long pages about a few specific things, but it seems to be better to cover lots of interesting points in a short post.

I wish I could just plug Powley's brain into the archive so we can access his Gmod memories, because if a roleplay server was up for more than 10 minutes he probably visited it.

Steam Exists mate. There is also the fact that it was EVENT Character not my actual one since at that time my main char got executed for treason
[doublepost=1612620154][/doublepost]
You're Polish
Not even polish but close enough.
[doublepost=1612620206][/doublepost]
just gonna put it in the most plain way possible fella since I’ve woke up with a bit of a headache

fuck off, take your head for a shite
Ouch, someone is mad over RP forums, ouch.
[doublepost=1612620464][/doublepost]
Interrupting RP over and over again by targeting areas you know are populated by using staff abilities
Using console to see if you landed hits with mortars/artillery
Disrupting behavior
General behavior (telling people to kill themselves for calling you out lmao what the fuck)

Suck a fat one

1. Give me evidence. Your assuming is quite funny

2. Not actual abuse, if so demote 90% of Staff

3. Assuming shit that's not even real lmao

4. Not even truth mate, lmao give me some evidence but you can't since it doesn't exist. Me and Rondal had beef between each other so its obvious that he is gonna asspull shit.

I mean, I think they are because the same models are in the mod, which launched in 2008 and seemed to be the first to feature them.

Steam Exists mate.
Aye so you mean to tell me:
  • you didn't get permission from any character with the authority to order such a thing on the server
  • you couldn't get permission from any SAF lead, as char wasn't on and generic was in an IC coma
  • you 'somehow' got permission from roosebud to take a helicopter out at that specific momen, supposedly
despite the fact you were already in the air before @afric even escaped, meaning you had some other reason (supposedly) to be flying in the first place

There is also the fact that it was EVENT Character not my actual one since at that time my main char got executed for treason
And was there an event happening at the time, hiros?

I don't recall, probably because nothing was announced and it was a stereotypical average day on the main server.

There was no SAF. Not a branch, not a lead, not a regiment. And as I said. event char

1.

look at the video posted

2.

so you're telling me that using a tool you can only get by becoming staff, to get an advantage by getting otherwise unobtainable information isn't abuse?

3.
yea okay retard

4.
damn yeah getting it from the horses mouth sure isn't enough

1. Look at the in game chat. Who is there OHH SOVIET LEAD ordering us to fire at the Insurgents.... OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE

2. Not a tool but ability to see logs. Some even commented on damage so it's clear that I'm the only one "abusing" oh no

3. Good argument

4. Even better argument

@'77 East
I forgot to mention that aircrafts were restricted from use unless authorized by SA or RB

Soooooo. Even if there was SAF Lead he would have to get permission to deploy it. So you're wrong once again.

Anyways,

I'd love WW3 to come back just how it was in 2016-2017. It was super fun! I didn't have a chance to play stasiland, so I really don't know what it's all about, but yeah.

Stasiland was p much cold War era RP where USSR took over Germany and everything between it. NATO was kind of helping local population with supplies and such

sci-fi world war three rp would be cool but I think rosebud is pretty dead set on 1990
Honestly I’d prefer sci fi/hyper future myself. Something that isn’t just a rehash of what we did before; and is instead a completely new route for WW3RP.

Outer colonies banding together against the inner systems’, only for both sides to have their ideologies corrupted; with the outer colonies desire for independence tainted by criminals looking to get away with their crimes and the inner systems wanting to keep the peace across the galaxy but constantly being forced to act violently by prominent corporations with deep pockets. Two morally gray factions where both sides mean you aren’t restricted by what ethnicity you have to play as.

I just feel as if the 90’s has ran it’s inevitable course is all; I want to see Nebulous running a server that is completely new & untouched ground.

Is it, or is it not, abuse to use a tool that you can only get by becoming staff to get an advantage in a fight

I think far future stuff (outside of star wars) is rather difficult to pull off since there's few maps (that aren't star wars themed) that can actually house a futuristic WW3RP

perhaps it would work better if it was near future stuff? kinda like vanilla arma 3's feel but maybe a bit more futuristic

just an idea anyway, probably good to keep in mind it's a lot more difficult then using stasiland assets as it'd require new models, code, weapons, vehicles, lore etc

I wouldn't go as far into like, the far far future or whatever, but I personally think Modern Warfare is a little more fun and interesting than the 90s schema. I can't give you a super in-depth explanation as to why, but it felt as if the LP lore let more freedom as in what characters can be used, what vehicles can be used and what weapons can be used. Also stuff like attachments, as well as the ever-so-fun drones add-on that made life so fun.

It leaves a lot to interpretation

You still belonged to the bloody soviet faction, you tit, unless you'd like to say you were flying for NATO.

The air attachment might have been a weird mix of "real"/event characters (I blame @TinPan for dying so early and whoever played Leon Wirt for blowing up the airbase) but regardless you still needed actual authorization to take vehicles out, same as literally any other SAF vehicle. You needed this from char, generic or roose, not John Sergeant or some stasi goon, as even the SA's needed the faction leads or roose to affirm it.

I forgot to mention that aircrafts were restricted from use unless authorized by SA or RB

Soooooo. Even if there was SAF Lead he would have to get permission to deploy it. So you're wrong once again.
Did you club yourself in the head and forget that the server had barely any SA's by that time, and that char himself (the SAF lead who you seem to be having trouble remembering about) was one of those few?

If you can't bother recalling anything correctly and want to spew garbage just close yourself out of the forums. You weren't testing aircraft, you weren't flying for NATO, you were fucking around with a Hip on a SAF-affiliated pilot, without proper authorization.

It wasn't a response to afric's escape because you were flying before it happened.
It wasn't a response to insurgent activity because there was none that day beyond @Numbers killing most of them in the mineshaft.
It wasn't a response to NATO incursion because the faction literally wasn't on the main server beyond three people by then.
It wasn't a response to @GenericPlayer's crippled status because he'd already been flown out by that point.

You had little reason to be flying around, and yet you were.

2. Not actual abuse, if so demote 90% of Staff
And which mythical "90% of staff" were using mortars in the first place? I don't recall anyone frequently using artillery beyond you.

4. Not even truth mate, lmao give me some evidence but you can't since it doesn't exist. Me and Rondal had beef between each other so its obvious that he is gonna asspull shit.
I don't exactly harbor fond memories of the guy but it's quite obvious that Rondal isn't going to go on record saying shit like that unless it exists, and I'd know, because I watched you do it before.

Get a fucking grip.

ok thanks willard head of staff for sharing your views on the matter

People who show up to cause problems and then blame everyone else for their own failings on other servers genuinely should be kicked off this forum, we already have one date rapist and one genocidal headcop, we don't need more hanger-ons moaning about how they were made victims of [insert server minority].

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the modern lore myself; but in my opinion I would absolutely prefer having the world completely reformed to represent something akin to Ace Combat’s fictional earth as opposed to earth but with incredibly weird alliances.

perhaps it would work better if it was near future stuff? kinda like vanilla arma 3's feel but maybe a bit more futuristic
I’d 100% be down for a 2050 / 2142-esque combat environment where bullets and tanks are still used but where the potential for things like augmentations & fancy new vehicles can completely change up the pace of combat.
