I am just generally interested on how most of you guys got involved with the HL2RP community, make it as detailed or as basic as you like <3

I was pressured to get GMOD by a mate a few years back, and after spending a little bit of time on the favourites (*shudders* DarkRP or TTT) I became quickly bored. I then started looking through the game modes, and joined the old LemonPunch server after eventually getting to the HL2RP servers. I was accused of minging by the staff, but after a brief conversation they sent me the role-play guide they used to have. I then server hopped, looking at the different communities that revolved around HL2RP and got more involved in RP over time. After a long break I ended up here :D

What is your story?

All started around five years ago, saw some youtube videos about HL2 RP and decided to join the server the videos were on. Resilience Gaming, if my memory serves correctly. It was a pretty generic small playerbase high command server, but the community was really solid and we played so much ArmA II. Proudest moment is when we beat Escape from Chernarus at the hardest difficulty.

I wondered what it was a long time ago and joined, man that one click started it all.
I guess curiosity did kill the cat.

I was around the gmod.biz community a long while back and often played on the DarkRP or Stranded server.
Maybe 6 years ago or some such when gmod.biz launched its HL2RP I was among the first to try it out during the launch event. Eventually joined the MPF some weeks later and was hooked from that moment on. I actually bought PET flags just so I could tell citizens to "Pick up that can.".

I joined some random Dark RPs, met a guy there, joined him on a HL2 RP and stuck around for a few years. This was in 2007, I think?

Back in elementary, I was looking for a sandbox game; I stumbled upon GMOD, which allowed you to build ANYTHING.
So I started playing in singleplayer, but later on started playing DarkRP on rp_downtown_v2. This was back in 2006.
One day I was looking for a bigger server and found TnB HL2:RP. So I joined, knew nothing, but everyone was RPing.

I rolled up my first character, Alice Dawn -- My first attempt at doing serious RP. Needless to say, having had English in elementary for just over a year, it must've been a cringy experience to RP with me. TnB became unstable, shut a few servers down while Dave was making his sexuality uncomfortable public on the RP forum; So I left.

Later on, I had the itch to get back in HL2:RP and found that Lemonpunch had come into existence and that became my home until
:fullownership: happened.


Now I am here and probably will be for a while.

I actually joined LP as my first server back in 2013. I immediately minged around, but was admin-grabbed and taught how to play properly by Moon.

One day, on a fateful 2008 day . . .

I joined TnB when Dave Brown still "lead" the resistance.

Needless to say, I left very quickly, and hopped around many HL2RP's till I finally got to where I am now.

DiCi was the first real "community" I role played in anyhow, back in 2010-2012 or some such.
Basically everyone in my friend list is from that group in particular.
