    Information Half-Life: New America - Announcement

    It's fine that most people don't know which city we're in. Obviously there are a few original residents left who definitively know, but there's probably just as many people speculating and repeating wrong rumours so that very few people are sure. More importantly, most citizens probably don't...

    Serious A Wall of Fire Rising; An RR about the Uprising in Haiti

    Haiti is actually a great setting for a HL2 thing, and the Uprising is probably a good shout for an RR. One thing I will say is that it seems that places like Haiti might be more likely to be loyalist strongholds than e.g. France, Sweden or the US. Much as we usually make our loyalists...

    Serious Star Wars

    One kind of neat format for a server I've been thinking about recently is one in which everyone is a crew member aboard a single ship, pursuing some general goal (e.g. the destruction of the Empire/First Order), and 'missions' are posted weekly or biweekly on the forum which explains where the...

    But... Why?

    Serious HL2 Stranded RR

    This sounds great.

    Serious The Troubles

    Needless to say this is a daft idea. But I have to tell you I'm curious just how bad TNB can get in the inevitable UVF faction thread with autoplaying loyalist music.

    The Infection

    Looking forward to playing this. Re: discussion of the zombies' origin. I assume from the title 'The Infection' it's already been decided that it's a Walking Dead type disease that makes people appear undead. However, if it's possible to influence these things at all I 100% prefer classic...

    Serious Alien Random Roleplay

    I like the idea of space ship roleplay, and I love Alien, but I don't know how well this would work if everyone knew the scenario in advance. It's rarely particularly fun to roleplay staged surprise about a thing you understand completely OOC, and in this event everyone would be pretending not...

    Good God. If that tradition was slavery, then yes I would.

    Do you listen to professional historians? I have never read any credible academic who argues anything other than that the Confederacy was founded to defend slavery, and everything else was just an after the fact justification. Also, not to be too glib but your assessment of what is or isn't...

    Come on, guy. It's trivial to find the quotes from the Confederate President and others stating pretty explicitly their state existed to defend slavery. Here are just a few I found after a quick google. Even if that weren't the case, though, most of the people proudly displaying the...

    Do you really think the confederate flag is not racist? I am baffled that someone could be deluded enough to insist they don't want to offend anyone and also switch their picture back to the confederate flag.

    Roster Admin Roster

    Resigning from HL2 admin. No reason in particular except that my interest has dropped dramatically and I've got college soon anyway. I'll probably still be on the forums and in server occasionally. Best of luck with the sub-community, I hope it continues to grow and thrive in the future...

    Will be in Scotland for two days. Insignificant LOA but I am adding it for completeness.
