Crussaria has been shelfed for now and we are looking to expand and develop a new server that the community wants to see and play. We have several choices for you to vote for. Please don't just vote but comment on why you are voting for it.
BURN THE HERETICS
PURGE THE UNCLEAN
WE ARE THE SPAESH MARINS
Encouraging ZRP as long as you won't have retarded administration, it should be good. The rest are going to take too long to develop/are bound to fail, like WH40k or SWRP. MERP is debatable.
W40K nuff said

Ohh god. Well I'd love a SWRP server and if that doesn't happen then W40K FTW.
Alot of Star Wars fans out there, do it, it will be successful.

All for zombie.
But it should be like "The Last Stand" where you have to go scavaging everyday for food and all, dealing with zombies and to be realistic (aka stealthy and no unlimited ammo :) )

Yeah this. Don't bother reviving Deadfall if you're going to focus on making it a typical OA Resident Evil RPG because we've got enough of those.
I voted for 40k rp as hell who doesn't want to be a space marine ^^
40K won't work, not enough models, not enough passive, no maps, etc. And people will RP it as Dawn of War not the original tabletop.

Thats where i come in.
Well, I voted for Warhammer, but I guess ZambyRp would be still cool.
Also, why so negative about Warhammer?
Or just don't make a third server. Focus mainly on SRP and FORP, you really don't need to work on three at a time. Hell, after everything is completely finished with SRP/FORP, make a third server for shits and giggles. Whatever happened to the whole SWRP? That didn't work out as planned. To sum up my small point, don't make another server, just focus on the ones you already have and make them better.
Since the hit AMC series "The Walking Dead" is out there, and tons of people are watching that, the Deadfall Zombie Roleplay can be a great hit for our playerbase.
Xin and I obsess over zombie apocalypse stuff, and he and I can make a good lore if needed. And we can make a few plots up for vote for the playerbase, to see which one is interesting. Again...if needed.
ZRP should be a go, cuz' everybody loves zombies, and a good lore behind it will just make things better. A simple lore such as: "Scientists make a virus, and it spreads. Survive." Is really boring.
As an alternative...SWRP, even though I very much dislike star-wars...it would bring a playerbase as well...I just wouldn't play on it at all :p
Honestly. I would put some work into this, and make our own map for this roleplay. And since it's getting majority votes I may start on that now, because my previous Urban map was looking nice until my computer got wiped.

That. Also as long as there will be a lot of melee weapons and small inventory max weight Deadfall is going to be cool.

Can you not start a flame war at least ONCE? We don't need this kind of attitude in here.
With the population of HGN as it is, I don't think any of these will be highly successful.

Don't be a dickhead.
I think ricochet RP would be really fun. It's a good story to tell and really doesn't get enough credit for its development. I think it should be on the list.
Deadfall/Zombie RP is a boring story in a boring setting in a generic scenario.
I'd rather go play DayZ or L4D for fucks sakes.

ok go ahead and have fun.
While those games don't actually promote character development and there's no story to Deadfall yet, it has to be written.
In my opinion it comes down to SWRP and Dead Fall. Now let's look at some statistics.
Star Wars servers currently active: 0
Every one I remember ever being up had lots of people as well.
Zombie servers currently active: Atleast 5
And only one of the five serious rp servers I can find on the server list has players.
So a big ol' "Star Wars RP, come join." would probably get more views then. "Oh look, another one of 'those' servers."
Star Wars RP all the way brahs.

Star Wars is an alien theme to everyone who plays Serious RP, as you said, and they would most likely be more acceptive of something that they're a lot more familiar with. Crussaria received no players because of this exact reason.

Going to reinforce this now. Zombie has been done to death by many, many ,many communities. The idea is old and stale, on the other hand Star Wars RP hasn't handle except by on community, plus there are people at HGN, other communities and other players who'd love to have a SWRP RP. Hell there's a decent enough content to attempt to try.
I still think there should be a "No Server 3" vote.

STAR
WARS
Seriously.
Warhammer 40k won't get fuck-all for players, and we have enough shitty post-apocalypse RP servers on Garry's Mod. The last thing we need to do is make an even more generic one.
NO ONE WILL ACTUALLY RP in a zombie "RP." It will suck more than anything else we've ever done. It will suck more than Fallout 3 roleplay ever sucked.
It REALLY doesn't matter what we pick as a third server.

First off, NO MORE ZOMBIE RP'S For god sake I can list off a random one just from the server list on gmod. Lets try SWRP I never seen one like that, but 40k is also diffrent just more people know starwars and can get into it.

I can't argue with that HGN has a stagnant admin base.
Star Wars is the lesser of the 3 evils for me. Warhammr 40K RP should not be made and if it was it would not work, not in 40,000 years (see what I did there?). Everyone will want to be a Space Marine, will abuse their awesomeness and no one will play the three factions which are meant to literally be waves upon waves of cannon fodder -- the Orcs, Tryanids (to a degree) and the Imperian Guard. Speaking of Imperial Guard makes me mention their vehicles are fucking awesome and people would abuse them, and on vehicles it would be one hell of a bitch to code such awesome vehicles such as the Baneblade. If these were to be left out the Imperial Guard would be extremely useless, their weapons are the equiverlant to flashlights for crying out loud -- there's a reason the Imperial Guard are willing to sacrifice 1000s of men to save one tank (well, the infantry being useless is part of it, the fact there's trillions of people in the Imperial Worlds are another reason.)
... I cannot believe how much I went off on a rant there.
But yea... Star Wars is the lesser of the three evils, I wont even get started on ZRP as everyone else seems to have already.

What makes you think that special abilities/powerful shit will not be abused on SWRP?
SO far the zombie thing seems as if it is winning, But seriously? We already have pretty much two apocalypse based Servers.

For one me and paint established if there's going to be a SWRP it's going to be in the Imperial Era or Post-Endor Era. During those times Jedi are pretty much extinct, any and all Dark side Adepts are incredibly loyal to Palpatine or Darth Vader.

You can now.
That being said, FRP and SRP both have their own playerbases at this point. SWRP would be our guys, at first, and then it'd evolve into its own server if it goes well.

I never said it would, but Warhammer has Power Armour which, in the tabletop, you need two or three seperate dice roles just to penetrate it. (In the games they're still fucking powerful.)
And, Jake, I am not defending Star Wars, I am meerly putting down Warhammer (which is painful considering I love Warhammer 40k.)
Having a third server, no matter what it is, will always yield the EXACT SAME RESULT as any other time we've done a third server. It just, won't work, unless we get new people to admin it.

^^ All I said was I would make a map, and create a lore if needed. Said nothing about admining. Thats all I'm saying here, I'm not gonna fight anybody on this and waste my time.
Zombie RP seems a bit too, meh. Star wars RP will become too bland as in SW part of the flare for it (well in my opinion) is the size, scope and diversity in locations which will be difficult to pull off. 40K seems like the best option then but I have no idea about majority of the lore and I am very much a warhammer scrub.
So I'm going to be a terrible citizen and not vote, hold up, grab a cup of tea and wait for all this to blow over
DEMOCRACY!
Zombies? Oh just what HGN needs another shitty post apoc gear whoring server. Yeah nice job guys way to vote for something good.
ANYTHING but zombies. Knowing HGN's stupid player base zombies will win and it will be just like SRP and FORP already are.
Thinking it over, I'd gotta say the thing that would probably have the longest lifespan (assuming any of which makes it out of beta) would be 40k. It'd take a different turn in roleplays much like the current Starship trooper and halo roleplays out now.
And using the argument "Everyone wants to be a spacemarine" Can hardly work as its the same for every game. Everyone wants to be Strelok, The lonewander, Jedi, Chuck Green and all that good shit. If I could I'd probably change my vote to 40k.
And as for starwars, I can honestly see it ending up like Fallout (No offense to those who play it). Even if people like paintcheck come back to try and make up their own idea on how the lore should go, it'd be a useless effort. We all remember how well you all did trying to work with Crussaria Canon against Silver's.
It's the [Not-so-Epic-Battle] between Star Wars and DeadFall.

If WH40k was SST that would be a terrible misuse of the idea (not enough Inquisitors, not enough Heresy). If I want to kill NPCs I'll do it in a game like ArmA, Left 4 Dead, Bulletstorm, Borderlands, or any of the 90000000000 million other games I have that will all be better coded and less aggravating than GMod will be.
Which is why Zombie's popularity makes no sense. Everyone will play it for 3 days and then realize that Day Z is 5000000 times better mechanically than anything Gmod based and the server will be dead. Or it won't be different enough from SRP and FORP and no one will play it. Or it will be too generic and boring and no one will play it. Even if it is successful it's one more shitty, gear-driven dark RP server. Why does HGN need another one of those?
In all honesty every server will likely die after a week since that's what usually happens but I'd rather see a concept with a
chance of being good than another half-based post apoc shitfest.
Welp. Star Wars is better than your generic ZambieRP.
Zombie RP seems just so redundant when we have SRP and FRP. I don't want any more post apoc servers. SWRP or W40K would be interesting at least.

Suggestion.
Alien vs Predator Roleplay.
Citizens would start as Marines. So there would be no point in the Gear BS. and its not an apoc. Roleplay, so thats a win. Also, its unique, and has good lore behind it, and isn't 40k, which not so many people know the lore to.
Just a suggestion, what are your guy's opinions?

Citizens would start as Marines. So there would be no point in the Gear BS. and its not an apoc. Roleplay, so thats a win. Also, its unique, and has good lore behind it, and isn't 40k, which not so many people know the lore to.
Just a suggestion, what are your guy's opinions?
NO. How the fuck would that even BE roleplay? "OH shit we're getting eaten! PEWPEWPEWPEWPEPW"
Lol, not very hard to imagine that situaction, Paintcheck.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE.
Zombie or star wars would be cool
There was supposed to be a SWRP earlier I think so there would be some content and a lore for the planet/whatever, of somekind. And I also agree on no more post-apocalyptic servers.
Honestly post-apoc or HL2 RP dominates the GMOD RP community making it incredibility boring. All anybody in ZRP is just going to sit around in a place wait for zombies and get a neatly a placed shotgun made from Mithrill that gives the user +100 to accuracy and +1 to zombie virus immunity.

Okay you don't need to express your anger here.
Screw everyone's choices, I say Freelancer.
You don't even need other players to have a good time and can Passive RP on your own.
I suggest a different mod than Discovery, but its the most known and used. And most other mods aren't done or are completely gone.
I honestly don't have an opinion. I wouldn't play on it, as I have enough duties on SRP which are being neglected due to the massive amount of bullshit that I have to deal with IRL.

Star Wars has an enormous following, as opposed to Crussaria which was totally from scratch. I bet people would be more likely to join if it's familiar.

Star Wars for this reason, it has really yet to be done successfully. I believe that it would be wise to actually do something a lot of people like, that's more towards the "original" side. People will see Star Wars gamemode and nerdgasm all over their desk. If it is advertised properly, and we can pull it off properly it will be beyond success.
Two servers who have just barely enough people to play when everybody bands together
vs.
Three servers who split even more and have even less people on because people have to decide what they want to do, which usually ends up as less activity for one or more servers
Edit: Did we all forget that Silver has to make more content for the new server because it's his current interest which means less content for SRP and, dare I say it, Forp..
I changed my vote for SWRP... so many people seem to like it, and I agree when we say we don't want HGN to be a apocalypse Community...
We all know how much we want the world to end, but why not make it that way by being a sith lord! XD im joking. I'm done with this thread, Idc what wins, im sticking with FORP.
Those of you worried how SWRP will split up the community, chill.
For the first week or two, yes, that will be the case. After that, the server will either evolve and gather its own playerbase--or die. The worst that can happen is everyone goes back to their old servers.
Some will leave STALKER. Some will leave FORP. However, the rest of the players will go back to their own servers, and new players will come to fill the void. It's that simple. Tell me, how many FRP frequents do you know who play SRP and vise-versa? Not many. Hitman and his pals are all I can think of.

To be fair, Crussaria did poorly due to lack of publicity in my opinion. It had potential, just it had the wrong audience.
Of course I know nothing of these other third servers you speak of.

It had publicity. It had its own player base too for a while.
Why would you want a third server when you can't even fill two?
Because (as long as it's not zombie apoc) the third server will be interesting and possibly bring more people in.
Everyone whining about "ZOMG it will split the community" who the fuck cares. [DATA REDACTED]. Better SW or WH comes up (looking like it won't be WH) and be new and exciting. Even if it only lasts for a month it will be better than a Zombie RP server that also only lasts for a month and is boring and shitty for the month it is up for.
Also to all you new folk who don't know HGN has content for both zombies and SW more or less ready (unless Silver has lost it all). It's not some huge development blackhole that you all think it is. The content is there already. That's why the choices are what they are.
I get that you don't like SRP or FORP, Paintcheck, but -please- stop shitposting, okay?
I get what you're doing; being blunt, that is. You want to get a point across. Fine, I can see what you're getting at with all this, and to a certain extent agree with you on the issue. However, that doesn't grant you a free pass to begin throwing out insults wherever you please. There are far more elegant ways to bring people about.

You're all going to say that and then you'll play 1 day on the new server, realize you don't have the gear and/or status you have on SRP or FO, and crawl back there to continue making those servers shit. Better SW or WH comes up (looking like it won't be WH) and be new and exciting.

I wholeheartedly agree. The content is there, and I just hope it isn't zombies. Personally I am hoping to god it's SW because I've loved it since I was a kid, and it would be absolutely amazing if it happened, not to mention it has a huge canon to work with, a huge following, and so many different RP opportunities in it.
Also zombies are stupid.
Removed all the flame baiting.
I still say Freelancer. Its got all the content it needs and all the things to keep players occupied.
And it's not GMod, which is a major plus.
My two choices are Zombie and Star Wars.
I voted starwars, even though I don't like the series, because I believe it can be a good RP. Attracting its own playerbase should not be too hard considering there are so many SW fans. A small downside to SWRP, it might take a bit of work getting the items and models for the server.
Deadfall, the Zombie Apocolypse, would as well easily get a playerbase. If worked correctly, it can generate good RP as well. Another plus, It would be really easy to script, since really you could just use the same script on FORP and SRP, even some of the same items.
I'm split between the two, so I am not going to 'vote'. Since both of these are the top 2 currently, I have no problem.

Do take into account most zombie rps are the same 99% of them really.
The choices are quite miserable. Do the community a favor and vote No Server 3.

I find it to be. Don't ruin it for those of us who would like something more, no one is forcing you to play on the new server. And frankly I'd rather a lot of you didn't.

Do take into account the keywords you said, MOST. I can see this done really well if the canon is not stupid, there is a bit of conflict (Not just zombies vs humans) and if you get people who can RP and not just run around and 'pew pew' everything.
I'm undecided.
The point of a third server is not to attract srp or frp players but for to gain a new playerbase and bring back players that no longer want to play srp and do not see frp as a alternative.

Thats what majority of players here have pretty much felt after 5 years of SRP. I myself would enjoy something a bit new even though I do have much to do on SRP but I believe SRP is at a very large stagnation which it will be for long time.
I just think Star wars is gonna be too much work for a something that would be a failure. Atleast a zombie rp doesn't cost a lot of resources like tons of models and scripting when you can basiclly finishin a zombie scrap in a day or less of limited work and Star wars would take months to finish and considering how slow our development is I dobut we would finish it in time. I just we should do a Zombie roleplay since it does not take much to do and if it does fail not much is lost.
A none third server might be good, but I don't see SRP or FORP really going anywhere anytime soon and I think honestly a new server might be good to brighten some new roleplay.
SRP and FORP are really at their tip top stagnation of rp and activity.
Don't we already have some content for SWRP?

A few models proably that we Dled from gmod, gotta remember though they might not be rigged and we would need sweps and to edit the script to fit SWRP, I am just saying its gonna take a lot of work for Silverknight to even get some form of an Alpha up. Basiclly its like how Crussaria was and that took a very long time and only got up on a bit of luck and a lot of us admins and players begging and manageing to get it up and live. Then problems by myself and others and then stagnation took over and it died.

Yeah. But if we appoint less than stellar admins it won't go anywhere. You need someone good to directly manage it with a couple SAs (Who plan on playing mostly or JUST the third server). Then once the Playerbase HOPEFULLY forms, you let the manager hire admins from that specific playerbase. . . Otherwise you get either a bunch of inactive admins or a bunch of admins that have devotions to other servers which makes them inactive.
TL:DR
Get a manager who can hire admins who, play SWRP a lot, and make it so that it has control of the canon.

^ Pretty much that. Let's learn from the failures of past servers. Exile can micromanage the server when it first comes up, but he needs to find people preferably from its own playerbase, as Tom said, to actually run it.
Also Paintcheck. As much as I love Star Wars, I have a bad feeling I'd botch the whole canon if I tried for any sort of administrative position--so leave me out of it before I break anything.
If SWRP wins (Which it looks like it will unless someone who wanted ZRP gets more non-HGN outsiders to vote for it) Paintcheck would likely be a nominee, but he would need to be able to control/manage the server pretty much.

Paintcheck sounded pretty excited about a Star Wars RP last time I talked to him, so I would assume he does.
Of course this is just speculation still that he'd want to be an admin, based off of prior experience.

It really wouldn't be all that similar. In HL2RP no one was allowed anything, and the only way one could get anything would be by joining the CCA. In SWRP, the control is much more relaxed, and there are a number of options, be it organized crime, imperial military, the New Republic (depending on the time period),or even space piracy. If it takes place on a border planet most everyone would be armed, but there'd still be a measure of government control. If it was a core planet, there'd be more control, less weapons, but still a seedy underbelly. There was already a decent amount of material already made up for SWRP before Exile decided to go with Crussaria instead, see for yourselves: http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/general-355/ (http://www.forums.hypergamer.net/general-355/)

I think he's more referring to the fact that any HL2RP server we've done has died within a month.
I was just making the point that they're not similar, and therefore SWRP will probably not suffer the same fate as HL2RP. It's certainly better than some shitty ZRP where all you do is run around collecting gear and shooting NPCs. It has a great deal of potential if we just give it a chance.
None of the options have high longevity. If we took down a sever and replaced it with this it would work. If it was managed by someone who plays that server regularly and it isn't micromanaged, and that person has reign to hire and fire admins from the specific Player Base, AND it got its own playerbase quickly (In which case we wouldn't need to take down the second server), Then, then it may work.

You could say the same for SWRP since you dragged people from SGN and folks such as Pepsigod who play at TnB to vote for SWRP.
If anything this vote is horse shit by your logic and it would be 40K or no Server, since it is the only option that didn't drag non-HGNers in to vote.

Need I screenshot my friends' list?
Doesn't matter really. But by your logic 40K would win by default.

Should half of Zombie RP's votes even be counted? Considering someone just dragged a bunch of non-HGNers in to vote for the lulz of it.
You could say the same for SWRP since you dragged people from SGN and folks such as Pepsigod who play at TnB to vote for SWRP.
If anything this vote is horse shit by your logic and it would be 40K or no Server, since it is the only option that didn't drag non-HGNers in to vote.
I'd be ok with that. As long as it's not fucking zombies.

^ Pretty much that.
If we end up re-doing the vote, we should do it without allowing players to actually see the votes, so folks can't go, "X-RP WINNING?! MAKE MORE ACCOUNTS!" or "SPAM MORE FRIENDS!" (Latter my fault. :P)
Or not do a poll at all since any experience that I've had with polls has ALWAYS been bad for many reasons.
Or SK can man up and do SWRP like he wants regardless of what the community thinks (At least thats the message he got across to me and other people)

I was just making the point that they're not similar, and therefore SWRP will probably not suffer the same fate as HL2RP. It's certainly better than some shitty ZRP where all you do is run around collecting gear and shooting NPCs. It has a great deal of potential if we just give it a chance.
SWRP highly depends on the Era we do.
If it's during the Clone Wars, it's fine I guess.
If it's during the Imperial Era, it's EXACTLY like HL2RP
If it's during the Post-Imp Era, it's basically pointless.
Any other era ends up with a playbase that is confused as fuck about the lore..
This is why we need to elect a council of high elders to do the voting for us and not an open democracy. Sooner or later dead people are going to voting again.

That's wrong. The Imperial Era wasn't at all like Half Life 2, for one people still lived their daily lives, still had fun and etc. Hell it was a moment of peace in the galaxy save the Rebel Alliance. Hell people on Imperial controlled planets like Anaxes held fucking Naval Parades for the Imperial Navy.
Generalization is big in this one.
I have a feeling that non-members are voting for ZRP

They are for SWRP too. Some dude named "Thethanos" or something had 0 posts and had made an account 1 minute before voting SWRP. Which is why polls are stupid and easy to fuck up.

I do not demand those era's but during the Mandalorian wars or during the Dark wars.
You can do alot with the Republic and the Mandalorians at each others neck, not to forget theres always that great chance for players to roleplay side things to do with that war such as being mercs which is what people usually roleplay in HGN (Stalkers, Mercs, all the same thing really just different names. They all take on jobs.) So theres defiantly plenty of things we can do and hell theres a wide selection of planets we can base the setting on. All we need is Neo-Crusader models.
Apart from that we could do the Dark wars which would likely revolve (For us that is) around more the civilian side of things as what it might actually be like to live on over populated planets full of crime such as Nar Shadaar. The Dark Wars were a very quiet period in KoTOR 2 where a secret war between the last of the jedi (The Jedi Exile and her companions) and the Sith. Again, no one would know about that.
Clone Wars rp? No no, get out. Every time I've seen a server go up (Apart from Recreas server which he had once) has been clone wars military rp. And every time it has been shit for the same reasons.
1. All clones are diffrent (In canon, all clones are the same apart from the altered ones such as delta. This renders the roleplay extremely difficult to do unless we broke canon rules, which is what we'd have to do.)
2. Leadership has always been shit, people who have no idea over anything have always managed to get power. (May not happen here, so the point could be rendered stupid.)
3. Over done when ever SWRP is up.
The Imperial era can be great fun if done correctly, Recreas proved this to us. (As long as we dont have bloody phase 3 Dark Troopers again, which was silly.)
I've probably missed alot more but hell, The era's in the Old Republic have not been tried yet and I would personally be ready to make love to the server if we get an era in the Old Republic.
I demand Deadfall back !

Theres no doubt the vote has been rigged.
Hell, I was in Skype two days ago joking and wondering if it would be rigged by people making alt accounts which it has. Hell, show the voters I want to see if I am right or not.
Anyway, Zombie roleplay is the same crap. Gear vs NPC's and prehaps psyco's. THATS IT, thats all there is to it. Majority of people wont even roleplay the contamination/virus.
Theres by far a heck of alot more potental for Starwars and WHRP as well as freedom. (Mainly on the SW part)
Polls are stupider than fuck. There is no way we have 86 people. Sooooo... poll is fucked and borked, if we do this again, find a different way for people to cast votes. Otherwise you get terribly skewed results that would show that we -should- have close to 100 active gmod players which is false. We have about 40ish people with tags on (assuming every hgner has added me) and about 10ish or slightly more no taggeds.
P.S
Swrp and zrp options both have alties and random folks voting for them.

I'll be honest, I've been informing people outside of the community that we may have SWRP. But I do not think I've told this many, and hell not that many have been intrested. Only guy I think was intrested was my friend Red and Dicidius and thats it.
I have chosen to do Starwars. I think it will provide a better roleplay enviroment than other other choices present and there is clearly enough support for it to exist based on the poll results. It is Scifi which is a new type of genre in roleplay other than the post apoc theme we currently have in srp\frp.
I will post more details later.
