nebulous just like most people, knew about it and once I heard it had the old staff I joined it
lemonpunch: Now, for lemonpunch is a big, but cool story.
Used to play alot of flood and dark rp, I came from habbo where there was a bit of serious roleplay too which I did from time to time, (was 12 at the time ok), I loved dark rp and when I was searching for serious roleplay servers, my eye spotted hl2rp, joined some server, I still remember what I did there.
I wanted to roleplay as Agent 47 from hitman because I saw my brother play hitman on the xbox and chose the bald playermodel, I even remember my first char desc, it was something cringy like (keep in mind my english was really bad) "What would you like sir, a kill, or a death?"
I know it means the same but this was it.
What I did there is something I remember too, I just started running around, getting beaten up by cps for a reason I didn't know, eventually I got in a store and people started beating me up suddenly.
After that, I kind of stopped for a long time and then joined lemonpunch, I loved it, it was so packed with players and everyone was so serious, I tried to roleplay as best as I could using my limited, really bad english, but I still had lots of fun.
I even remember when I got accepted to CWU back in 2013, on my character named Mike Storm, I joined a lot of loyalist events and had a pretty good time.
Then mid 2013, I started abusing my whitelist alot, like, I know it sounds ridiculous, but I basically bought A SHIT TON of ration coupons and used them all at once till I had around 3000 tokens. I know this seems really mingy, but just remember I was 12 at the time and pretty stupid.
I char transfered a lot of the money to another citizen with ranosh and some other dude, I did that about 5 times.
Then, I was caught, I still remember it, I was doing the standard procedure, using the ration machine a fuck ton of times, I laugh at how stupid it would be, just think of it now, some CWU keeps getting rations at the machine, he'd be dewhitelisted and blacklisted in an instant.
Back on track, so I was getting a lot of rations, then when I got about 10, this scanned popped up, I thought it was just an npc, but it was an actual player, the fucker reported me, to this day I don't know who it was, if you were it please tell me.
Then suddenly, in the chat I see "What the fuck are you doing?" I look at who typed the message and it was fucking
@Chester, I started getting stressed and made up some bull shit reason like "I don't know, my brother told me he bought a lot of ration coupons and told me to use them." Chester was literally going to de whitelist me and probably ban me forever, but then, out of nowhere
@Shidopie kicked in, server director at the time, he tied me, took all of my tokens and said "Do it again and you'll be de-whitelisted." I couldn't thank him enough for that, because if I'd be banned, I would probably disconnect and never play hl2rp again. What happened after? I was stupid, sure, but smart enough to never do it again and I got back into having a fun time roleplaying. Started sticking around, my english kept getting better, made some friends, applied for cp, lost some friends and made some friends again and got here.
