Certifiable W

I can't believe you forgot about me after all those passionate nights :| (I can't think of a better meme format.. love you really @LyingFox ❤️)

I think the colour scheme is iffy, but by and large it probably fits the sleeker and sharper look of HL:A that'll be more relevant for v3 which is comparatively nicer to the grime of HL2. Maybe I'm being dumb though, it's 2:30 am /shrug

@Atom gets credit for these, 10/10 filmwork. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jZmzM6UtRwUAtliMM?invite=cr-MSxjTTksMjE2MzI1ODcw https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/jZmExjK4x8bS7FOSp?invite=cr-MSxnTFEsMjE2MzI1ODcw My best GM moment to date.

Had some ideas for rebel-based objectives in the region which would have run consecutively to the guerrilla stuff. Didn't pan out... I've got some ideas for TLM though. Hopefully they can be implemented. I've yet to speak to Robert in depth.

Wanted to slow the rate of escalation. Not to be :(

OCIN as a target has always been a bit.. bad as a target. The functions for how it goes typically are too disruptive or not disruptive enough to combine RP. I think it'd be better for something like, attacking a railway/transit hub which would lessen the D20 chances for synths as parts of events...

Ah, ok! I can't really do much about this perception, as it's less so about just me and more the thoughts of people. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, my own would be that this isn't accurate to the reality but yeh.

I do think on reflection more could have been done before the advent of the bunker to figure out how infiltrators would be balanced re: being found beyond dumb luck. Though, again, that then becomes a concern regarding how it isn't then unfair against the guys who are IC and playing the...

Mm. Was I introduced to Willard through OTA? Yes. Was it my first and principal WL for a period? Yes. Since then, I've gotten a CivPro WL and CMU WL having come back having left Willard for a time on a long hiatus. After which I then rejoined OTA via another application. I don't think it's...

TLM... is the ending for v2...?

I think event staff counted approximately eight executions during the period between rebels. I'm guessing these executions were issued for reasons of less consequence then spying on the bunker with the intent to kill off the rebellion. I don't buy into the argument that you don't like the idea...

You are saying this after a short period. Without having spoken to Robert on the matter of TLM, OCIN problems WILL have an impact, but shockingly the fact that the suppression squads surrounding the bunker are a mere twenty minute dropship ride from C24 does mean that communication is...

... but like... that's his job? To try and get the Combine a win? He's not allowed to want the Combine to win, but rebels can want rebels to win...? I don't understand that line of argument. Infiltration was all done ICly by actual player chars. The length for which these chars had existed is...

I think this as a frustration would be basically non-existent if infiltration had been more widely permitted on the rebel side of things in prior months before this escalation. Again, Nath or other ET leadership would be required to explain why this wasn't permitted or forward on to the...

Bounter, the reason I term it an auto-win is based on my understanding that you'd be able to plant it outside of the building if required and then grow it inside hence voiding the requirement to capture and hold the building for a period. If I'm wrong on this then please do correct me. I think...

OOC concerns don't hold a candle to IC. At the end of the day if you chose not to persecute someone you suspect to be an infiltrator based on the OOC knowledge that death could remove them from the v2 ending, then you chose to do it. The functions to kill someone infiltrating have always existed...

If that's what you'd like to believe then nothing is stopping you. At the end of the day all we can go off of is the lore established before us, else we run the risk of contradictions, falsehoods and poor writing (and yes, I predict a snarky comment here about the writing having been poor...

The idea of an embryo that can auto-win an event based on S2K needs to be looked at. It's not an issue from your side, it's more so that there seems to be a lack of appropriate safeguarding in place to prevent such an item from becoming an instant win button. I'd imagine it was hard to get? All...

I think it's important to note that there is a clear distinction between the eventual ending of CvR environment in the lore of HL2, and in Willard's distinctly regional dialect. We do NOT include Breen or the Gman, or Eli/Alyx Vance, or the dude that is free, because we aren't just telling the...
