I'm suggesting that we add the Poltergeist as an option for Donators. If you've played Shadow of Chernobyl, you will encounter poltergeists at X18, and even the Wild-Territory.
They pick up items that are around, and toss them at their enemies. Paint cans, barrels, crates, whatever is available.
According to rumors among Stalkers, the poltergeists were once Stalkers, and in their presence you can sometimes hear menacing fits of laughter, or weeping / crying, or just freaky, scary shouts and yells. (There are some good unused HL2 sounds available.) So if someone had the flag, they could play sounds using the new rp_voice command.
The poltergeists should be strictly confined to the underground.
If they were added, they would be great sources for roleplay, more /it RP would be added which is often absent.
It's something to consider i guess, maybe with a zombie model or something. Being totally invisible, and being able to throw porps around, kinda like "The Stalker" gamemode.
I've found a fun little ditty with props and other tools in Gmod to reproduce this sightly :D It's a pain in the ass!
Give them black magic, and observe for the one hundred dollar detonators only.
Detonators, huh?
You mean donators?
Mine-Dog Stalker RP did Poltergeists exceptionally well.
Just need to make it so prop_physics around them float off the ground a bit, and are then forced in the direction you aim.

Donate is the best. I agree with Raid's idea, Sounds good, Possibly a white glow coming from the center of their model?
They could also just use a fully functional gravity gun.
You can't toss props with the gravity gun, that's the only issue.
Besides that, it ruins the whole mystique of a Poltergeist if you can see him float around in observe tossing shit at you.
They can be once dead characters we used to have that turned into poltergeists

No? They can use the weapon the Controllers spawn with, the weapon that allows you to pick up props and toss them around.

Black Magic SWEP
Why not just use Controller flag + black magic?
Just use controller plus black magic and change your title.
Oh. Yay. The unbearable joy. Another Donator flag. Woo-hoo.

I'd donate for this flag.
I don't like the idea , Poltergeists are kinda impossible to RP?
Except for doing /it chuckling is heared , /it Stuff flys etc. >_<

Maybe if you RP it that blandly.

$100 for this flag.
Alright.
Mabye they could be used as an even Flag or something in that case..
Is this actually going to be considered? Or will this go to the last page of Development and die.
Who knows, who knows...
i know this is sort of a bump but what the hell.
more benefits to 100$ donators would be great, anyways i would donate anyways.
