Cyberpunk RP

[Sylver]

Just came up with the idea a few days ago. Both Easy and I want a more complicated hacking system, but there really isn't a justification for it. People would spend all their time hacking. AWOL rp is promising, and already stands head and shoulders above the other RPs. Now, it just needs something original, and it's my opinion that RLRP, or HL2RP isn't going to cut it.

So why not Cyberpunks RP? It makes use of all the jobs and classes the rp has so far, with slots for extras, and more things to do. When I say cyberpunk, I mean Dystopia cyberpunk. Rebels are still rebels, martial law has been declared and cops are charged with stopping the rebels from hacking computers and whatnot, rebels need to set up networks and stuff, and civilians just go about their buisness, selling things, and being meatshields.

Head and shoulders above?

Yeah, maybe if the shit that was already in gets fixed before even more gets added (not even mentioning some of the bullshit the players get up to). :|

Who would actually want to play the helpless civilian, seriously. And the ammount of custom entities, environments, huds, maps, etc you'd need to make it look cyberpunk would be pretty substantial.

Too much effort, atleast for now.

Agree. There are lots of suggestions for current AWOL RP. Maybe complete them and see how it goes.

AS with this, as with Serious rp as with anything else, finish awol rp first! I know I am just recapping what noobi has said but you can't expect to leap frog from mod to mod without finishing it, you'll just end up never finishing anything.

[Alucard]

Yeah finish first ... then we do need an amazing hacking system!

I like the idea of a more in depth hacking system. My reason for this is that, in my opinion, hacking that does not require constant attention indirectly promotes DMing and other forms of minging. The reason for this is that when you are a rebel and the only thing that requires your attention are hacking computers (which automatically hack) then you have nothing to do but annoy other people. Back when the server first started, as most of you would know, hacking was a basic question and answer system that gave you money based on the amount of correct questions you got in a row. Though this was not a perfect system it meant that to make money you had to physically be near your computer at all times. This reduced the amount of killing and illegal activity conducted by the rebels. Some may say that this makes the game boring, but I say it makes it more real and gives the game more purpose.

[Kannon]

Yes, And No.

I agree with people about finishing the current one first. but ill also raise a point sylver had. if we are going to make it cyber punk then theres really no point mech completeing the other one. and he just works on converting the current one.

personly. i like our Current Rp and think we should continue with that. then maybe enhance the hacking. then the science, then the gun dealing and food making. make it maybe abit more indepth and serious.

[Umbra]

I voted yes to the above but now I think I agree with Kannon. Though the idea of a Cyberpunk RP sounds good, we may be better off just upgrading the current one. At the moment the current one is doing great and we don't know that Cyberpunk would attract as many people to the server. Either way I think there should be a decision made soon. I'm currently undecided now but both ideas would be good...

[Sylver]

Yeah, I agree that the RP has to be finished first, I'm just saying that I'd rather it not be like every other RP (especially RLRP, which I find particularly boring).

[Umbra]

Well it looks like you have the majority so far 5-2... And I also like the idea of it being a unique RP especially since it has been made from scratch and has so much potential. It's a hard choice to make, perhaps we should have another vote later (when the current version finishes it's BETA mode) and if you get the majority again go for it :)

[Spiffy]

And another point why would you base a gamemode on something we were trying to cut down on?

[stinkfire]

lol this is one of th reasons why rp is no longer on the server and mech has stopped coding it. Most people say fix rp, fix rp. It was fixed. Like all rp's the problem is within the players. All the time people were saying fix rp, ect.. but when it started out there was nothing in it yet it was the best it had been. Everyone rped properly. It was fun. Then people made suggestions about hacking comps and then it got worse. I know i probly also hassled mech about some stuff but now i see that in doing so it got more of a chore to add each thing in and not fun. So that is my opion.

What about doga bithy?
