What are Expeditions?
I'm a huge lore guy. Love writing it, love reading it, the whole deal. However when it comes to these grand scale stories made on a game like Garry's Mod, you run into the issue of limited space, limited props, limited... everything, really. The world is as large as a district of a city, and while there are many workarounds and ingenious ways to make it feel bigger, there's just a limit to how much you can do.
Enter the expedition: A way to create stories that otherwise wouldn't be possible on Willard Main by utilizing a whole new server and a whole new map and set of mods to create new experiences in the same world. Experiences that carry over, encounters that carry over, yet done so in a new setting, a new map, with new props and maybe even some new threats you might face on the journey. I really don't wanna understate how much I appreciate the effort put into this sort of thing, and what it can do to a group that cares about the development of the server and the stories of those participating in it.
Where do you wanna go?
I would like to go to Bern, the once capital of old Switzerland. Located about 3 - 4 hours driving distance from Industrial 24, its actually a destination that might only take a few days to reach on foot, given good conditions and capable hands.
Condition
I would actually appreciate some clarification on the dynamics of vehicles. A few questions I would like to ask before stating the condition here:
1) Do we need to physically build our own vehicle on the main server to acquire one?
2) Do characters get soft-locked for the amount of time it would take to travel from Industrial 24 to the location we want to be at?
3) Vehicles remove stealth, but what if the expedition isn't going to anywhere in which Combine forces would be interested or have a vested interest in? Would we still be hunted?
Considering on the answer to all of these, I might have more questions.
What is the size of your group?
5. Subject to change based on availability, could go down to 4 or up to 6, should be set in stone soon.
What is your Goal?
Bern, the capital of Switzerland. While not as populous as Zurich and Geneva (at least, before the war), it served as a hub of tourism, industry, and the administrative hub for the old world national government. Now, it looks to be little more than a husk of it's former self- ruined attempts at barricading the city from the ravages of Race-X and the Portal Storms, alongside the Combine invasion 3 years later left Bern a desolate place with little chance at ever seeing reclamation in the decades there on out. However, a ruined city is still a city- and contains all sorts of hidden gems and secret potential that may yet be uncovered. The Swiss were notoriously paranoid- perhaps there was something there that may spell opportunity for the potential liberation of mankind...
A short summary of your Group?
Victorinox is a well-organized, somewhat decentralized resistance movement which primarily focuses on the gathering of intelligence, industrial sabotage actions, and ensuring human life is not needlessly wasted by allies and enemies alike. Founded by a Nachintgallen member, They view human life as inherently valuable, not for any moral reason, but a logistical one: Humanity cannot produce more children, therefore every human which dies is a net-loss for the general well-being of humanity as a whole. They aren't afraid to put down those who act as a roadblock to the more general goal of complete liberation from occupation forces, however.

( Will add onto this list as I get confirmations of interest for this expedition. If there are less than 4 I will switch this expedition request for a smaller one more suited to a smaller group. )
-TERMS AND CONDITIONS-
By putting my account name below, I hereby agree to the following stipulations:
Should my character be removed at any point, and the GM state so it can't be appealed.
The event cannot be used as an excuse to exercise personal vendettas OOCly against others.
Breaking the rules or disrupting the event will result in being ejected from the series.
All rules regarding fear RP should be respected.
You will be at the heart of events that will have an impact on the lore - a serious attitude must be adopted at all times. This is not tongue-in-cheek like some of the Fates events.
This is a deliberately serious series in terms of tone and content.
The GM reserves the right to eject you if he feels the rules have been breached.
The GM reserves the right to control the event.
I hereby agree to the following terms,
