Once you do that though, you really just make it post-apocalypse RP and not fallout, if you take away some of the biggest groups that made it the most interesting.
if you think Vegas was cool because of the factions you aren't paying attention

Then do post-apoc then. Fallout has never worked.
There still would have to be some large faction or group that a large amount of the server revolves around, as making everyone a scavenger or in some citizen group to do their own creates aimlessness (ie Terminator RP)

Ye and if you do fallout, you have to commit to the factions and groups that the genre is famous for if you want it to keep its identity

fallout isn't famous for it's factions and groups

I don't remember buying fallout 1 because it had the brotherhood of steel

the story telling style and thematic settings is what can be carried over to a roleplay server, not a faction or group.

When people think Fallout they usually picture the image of the BOS or the Enclave, if someone who is casual to the franchise joins and doesn't see that, or groups such as the NCR in it, then it naturally creates confusion.

I get you but i mean like this

Instead of the generic "WESTERN TOWN CENTRE o' DA WAR IN DA desert"

You could have cool new shit like NCR in Yukon and British Columbia, where you got like proper frontier town with different threats like the local leafs

or further a ncr expedition into El Paso or New Mexico or some shit and you got your Mexicans and some such

anything but fucking Arizona and Nevada

I mean fuck please no le legion vs US NCR OORAH

Vegas was great because it wasn't a conventional war, they didn't ((fight)) until the finale and both factions were mired in morality where both of them aren't the bad guys

introducing a new antagonist to ncr with such a moral question would be epic

Why does it need to be a new gmod rp server

Why do you guys not want to expand and let neb be more than just an rp community

like 2-3 months?

it was going strong throughout until the owner basically went "mAP CHANGE NO LONGER A CITY HAH" and it all fucking died

I mean how long did Gunsmoke lasted in general as a gamemode, or that's really how much time passed between the server start and when it died out?
