They aren't though, they are trying (And significantly struggling) to reassert their authority through a corrupt system that hates them, wading into a city which is a literal deathtrap and there are still two well-armed, highly motivated and numerically powerful rebel groups who own around half...

Directionless anarchy with just the zombie plotline would have lead to a dead event in hours.

A city almost being taken over by an organized rebel group with the potential for massive popular support will do that, the Combine won't sit around and let a potential massive army form in the middle of a sector.

They didn't though

The difference being if it simply crumbled then it's collapsed into chaos and can easily be written off. However, if an organized rebel group seized power and took control of the city with such a large population then that's a massive threat, and OCIN knows this. As I said before, actions have...

Actions have consequences, launching a full blown uprising where you stormed the nexus, massacred the entire CP garrison and letting anarchy reign in the streets was bound to finally draw the Combine's attention back to Beijing. Even if they can't secure it, they won't let a massive city like 51...

The shop I was the Vice-Chairman in and wanted to turn into a flourishing restaurant was burnt down by the Triad. I can't understand what people are saying because I don't speak Chinese. Joined the Triad expecting a decent wage and management position, found out gang membership isn't exactly...

Sandu will return in the C40 lore update coming soon...

10/10 Armchair general simulator at the end, good final act after some early technical bumps.

The reason for the lack of Wardens was that we were not included in the ping announcing the shift back to 7PM, I got on at 9 only to find I'd missed half the event already.

The Warden has already offered a full pardon to one prisoner in exchange for performing a certain task, I don't see why prisoners can't come back as Tarquin has every intention of letting them go once they have served their time.

Maybe allowing prisoners who survive to come back to the main server after a period of time (Group A quite soon, Group B later) would encourage people to not throw their characters away on highly dangerous escape attempts with no regard for the brutal precedent of law enforcement which has been...

The amount of time spent on walls or in lines should be drastically reduced from day 2 onwards, this was mainly due to, as Mullet said, getting used to the new role and some potential miscommunication. I'm curious as to how people found the Warden and his Deputy during this, how were we?

Here to confirm from my side that C40 is happy for the MAA to conduct this expedition on their behalf and will provide them with river transportation and any equipment they need, they will also be sending an official along with the expedition to ensure everything is in order and to keep an eye...

Not from under a dam he won't

From what I know of the first N.R.A.U event, it was negotiations followed by a small skirmish, focusing on politics and tense relations. This is open warfare. For the N.R.A.U side we would get to see the chaos and panic of the N.R.A.U when they are mere hours away from potential destruction...

I fully plan to have this operation happen lorewise to progress City 40's storyline. I have a lot of interesting stuff planned for it but first the conflict with the N.R.A.U must be resolved. What I'm trying to do here is allow players to play a very active role and influence the fate of...
