Title: A request
Post by: Ravanger on 04-01-2011
It has come to my attention that monolith has been dead for sometime in the server. Me and Duran have been trying to bring Monolith back of course as well I know many HGNers are interested in seeing it come back. We both have been in Monolith for some time and I have had position of leader myself for some time. Duran has looked into the Cannon of Monolith deeply as well so if this is brought back it will be the master piece that Monolith should of been. It is my request that Exile bring back monolith or give a reason why Monolith should not be brought back. As well I want to see peoples support in bringing it back. It is a waste of a faction if we not let it prosper back into a fully fledged faction. This will open up a new role-play for people to experience and see from a very long time of absence. So please find it in your heart to let this faction come alive, Duran and I beg of you all and Exile.

Duran will post the other half.

I'll take my time to answer a few questions some of you may have, but please know this is a discussion about bringing Monolith back as a real faction again, not a Q & A board.

The leadership will be made of Rav and me, obviously. I'm more of the knowledge behind everything, and uphold strict canon set for the group in the Stalker universe. Rav on the other hand showed exceptional leadership during his time leader the Monolith, and I'd like to keep him as the main benefaction in all this.

The Monolith WILL be revived sticking to strict canon. There won't be any ex-monolith, touchy feely monolith, or anything of the sort. Monolith are religious fanatics that HATE the stalkers, that it will be that way.

Monolith will not be the STK group that it use to be, and turned into my first few days in the faction. They will abide by the Rules of Engagement for the server, or they will be punished with possible removal. Fucking off will not be tolerated inside the group.

Not everyone and their mother will be allowed in. It takes a specific type of person to be able to play a good Monolith fanatic, and we understand this. However some people need to understand this as well. Monolith is not like being in Duty, or Freedom, or even the Military. They care nothing for the stalkers besides wanting those dead to protect the Great Crystal, and will sacrifice themselves at a moment's notice if commanded to.

In my part of the leadership I will be upholding as strict to canon as I can within the server and group. This will mean no ninja-mono sneaking into bases, no Mono-bandits, and etc. The group will be very limited, as we have no need or want to take over half the server population like Duty and Military has at times. We're there to promote RP within the server, create an atmosphere of fear, and make the Zone more inhospitable then what the limited mutants are capable of. During the first day in a small squad of around three Monolith we were capable of spreading the word that the Monolith were coming back without killing a single person, in my opinion that's as good as it gets. Fear without having to murder someone is fear in its raw and seems to be lacking within the server at this time.

So I ask for the support, maybe if we make enough noise LE will decide to take notice and allow us to do this, or he may continue to say no for no real reason at all. This is not coming back to be the swarm it use to be, this is coming back to bring a critical part of SRP back into the world that we loved playing in.

I remeber every encounter with monolith, I was always happy, even as a new guy on the server, even if I was kidnapped (The only time I wasn't happy was when Chrono Accidentally PK'd my British guy by killing him and taking all of his AK74u RIGHT after I bought it and shit and I had no money >.>) Hell, whenever Freedom attacked or Monolith attacked freedom it always resulted in interesting RP. If Exile would allow it I would say bring the faction back.

Aslong as people, who actually know STALKER canon lead it, no more of the bullshit below.

1.) Thinking the guass gun is a laser beam.
2.) Thinking all monolith want to become suckers.
3.) Scavenging for food, more then actually doing anything.
4.) Befriending stalkers.
5.) Ex-Mono (And don't list Strider, because he only broke free after SoC, which isn't over in our RP time.)
6.) Torturing all stalkers who come in your base in an attempt to be, "Badass".

Which by the way, have all been done by previous leaders.

If all that is followed it's a +support, but I doubt Silver will bring it back.

Post by: Celtic on 04-01-2011
Some of my favorite RP memories have occurred when the Monolith were involved, but on the other hand some of my most painfully unpleasant RP memories have also occurred with Mono involved.  I'm all for the faction coming back and Duran seems to be on top of things, but even with good leaders involved Mono was sometimes just terrible.  So I think Mono should maybe go through a bit of a trial period, kinda like they are now, before they come back full force.  If they turn out to be a good addition to SRP they'll stay, if they become a constant dm party, well then they should be removed.

Regardless of my ideas on how they should come back, I think I'll risk it and give them a +support

Post by: deluxulous on 04-01-2011
Apps would have to be very strict, in my opinion. And I mean very.  Most of the problems I've seen with Mono had nothing to do with the leaders, and more with the base players.

I haven't really had any quarrel or issues with mono, so I give +Support.

Post by: irondeity on 04-01-2011
No support. Reason: They beat my ass up.

In other news.

+Support : Monolith was and is a key faction to the STALKER universe and the gap left in the wake of their removal as a major faction is rather... gap-ish. I believe taking the lid off their casket would pave way to a return of a good form of fun and RP that has been missing since their burial.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Khorn on 04-01-2011
What I want to know is; How will Monolith play out if it's brought back?

Would it be like how it was described in the actual game?
Or like it was during SRP?

Quote from: How I remember from the actual game(This is only what I recall from the game, could be off by a bit)
As I remember from the game's lore, it used to be a faction that became dedicated to the zone to a point where they became obsessed with it. They eventually created a religion around it and one day just all got up and marched straight in.

After that march, they disappeared for awhile until they were heard of again, defending the center from outsiders.

Supposedly, they were once a normal faction gone crazy over a fantasy, which in turn made them get 'brainwashed' by the C-Con as 'Guardians' of the NPP and anything else deemed necessary.

They kill anything that isn't Monolith. They believe they protect the Wish Granter and all, but really are just protecting the C-Con and it's important things(whatever they are)


What SRP did was, have the Monolith become friends with the mutants. Gain some weird powers, telepathic stuff, hallucinations.


Monolith should stick the story of being a brainwashed group that believes they are here to do nothing but protect the center of the Zone from all people with everything they got. No powers, no mutant love, no magic. Straight up faction made to kill all things with every limb they got.

Just saying you shouldnt listen to all your rumors you hear and actually get on the god dam server for once. Since idk about the bird feathers infact all I been doing is makeing anomlic fields and doing a few small mono events on Gabriel so idk what you been hearing. As well that is what we stated, as well get on the server. Also make sure you took a read at all the past post mkay. Perhaps it would be wise also if you would actually contact me before you post these allegations about me. Again Khorn you are rarely on the server anymore or when I am on you are never on so yeah.

I hate the fact that people make this rumors, but oh well. Mostly all the Monolith events I did with my char have been cannonly revelant even most the stuff Duran did have some cannon back to it.

Also if someone has a problem with me or is gonna say something about me take it to me via pm or sf, if you like to spread things like this.

I haven't posted anything bullshit. I have brought up issues with Predu before. Just nothing was ever done, cause no one cared.

I'm not saying Monolith is a bad idea, just those leading it stray away from being canon.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Predu on 05-01-2011
+Support. The Monolith faction is an important part of the SRPs fearful atmosphere. Right now stalkers just wander around the zone with no weapons and alone. This is exactly because that Monolith isn't around and for a few other things. Like bandits getting meta killed, raided and that is why nobody wants to be one. Also the faction wars could get a slight boost by Monoliths presence, right now it is just Duty&Military VS Freedom. And well I'll start being pathetic and say this: I did bend the canon slightly so the faction would be playable.

I wish you all the luck on making the faction enjoyable when it is very strict in canon. And all the luck in making this faction and leading it. Yeah, I miss Monolith.

Double Post, sorry.

Again Turkey. It isn't about how many players we get its about the AREAS. S42 is wide open and great for bases, camps, etc. Redemption is not. It's very boxy and has a enclosed feeling. Most bases have a direct approach meaning almost certain death for the attacker unless they spam explosives or rush which isn't allowed... This map is better for the Monolith seeing as how they should ultimately have the advantage in fights... My two cents.

It's not about faction wars buck. The sever doesn't revolve around monolith talking shit then never doing anything except sitting at their roof.

Redemption is great because the monolith have the ultimate defense, Their tunnels, which can be booby trapped.

Redemption forced players to be together, In it's closed spaces. Very boxy. Very boxy. Are you kidding? S42 is made up of boxes. Heck, most maps are boxy

I think bringing monolith back is a great idea, it'd give the Miltiary and Duty something to do other than curb stomp Freedom, and there'd be less Rookies running around all alone inside the compound with only a Makarov. When I first joined SRP the very first RP I had on the server was with Monolith, and though it ended with me getting riddled with bullets by 3 AKms, theres always been something special there. Everytime I got pumped full of lead by those winter-camo wearing fanatics I got a little nostalgic feeling... I really don't see any reason why we shouldn't bring them back.

Im pretty sure ive already commented on this twice already. Monolith cannot come back until all other factions are stable. Which they are not. The only reason we ever bring that faction back is when factions are doing very well. But when things get bad it gets removed. Like what happened here.
Title: Re: A request

Exile all factions are stable. New leaders are active and everyone is doing fine in general.
Duty gets like minimum of 5 and maximum of 8 every day. On rare occasions ten of us, or even more.
Military gets the same, so does Freedom. Just yesterday we had seven freedomers, they are well armed I don't even know what was the fuss about. In global, the current three major factions are active, equiped and stable. Freedom has made a recovery with seven members on just yesterday. There's no need for us to hold this faction back.

Close all other major faction apps, let this one get filled, close it too then let the stalker gap fill and you got a perfectly working server.

I understand you want the Monolith back as do we all, but what? That was nearly our entire active population.



There's ten of you and 6 on LOA. Get four more, and that's enough.

If this was to happen.

Military would have 24 members.
Duty 20.
Freedom 20.

Im pretty sure ive already commented on this twice already. Monolith cannot come back until all other factions are stable. Which they are not. The only reason we ever bring that faction back is when factions are doing very well. But when things get bad it gets removed. Like what happened here.

Congradulations. If the many people now telling you the factions are fine doesn't get this across, I'll say it in a  direct quote: The factions are fine, Exile.

Duty is Active, Military is active, and Freedom has undergone a leader change and is now active. Christ Duty and Mili had to close their apps due to being so damn well off. Everyone is bored as fuck because there's no real danger to the Zone now, so please add Rav and I to the Monolith mods and let us get the server back to being the unforgiving Zone it should be. Right now it's comparable to Candyland.

But yeah, I can agree. This shit needs to be put back up if the other major factions are doing well. Which they are. So they should be put up...just saying.

Keep bumping thread.


Also, If monolith gets revived, They need to be funded by admins. Because monolith clearly have no Income, Being monolith and all. So instead of having to buy all their members weapons, Gear. They should be given a certain amount to spread out with the members, And they should always be gear returned.

Thats just a idea, Most of you probably won't agree.

A possible idea. However Monolithians do get paychecks and if they can get a good player base quick enough, they can earn about 10K a day just based off of the paychecks, that's whats happening in Duty, and I don't see why it wouldn't happen here.

Anyway, this faction needs to come back. Like... Right now. The last couple of days I've been getting on my authed Monolithian and people ACTUALLY Fear RP'ed, now take that, multiply it by twenty and BAM, SRP actually has a working Fear RP system. I don't see why we just can't reopen this.

The argument "Factions are unstable" makes no real sence anymore. Freedom is on the road to recovery, and Duty and the military are flourishing. Plus, bringing them back will add someone else for the military to beat up on asside from Loners and Freedom.

Post by: Bucky on 30-01-2011
The Monolith brings a certain challenge to factions, they keep them on edge, always ready for an attack, thats what SRP needs to feel like ALL the time, being in a faction now consists of looking out for troublesome stalkers and the occasional stray mutant, bringing the Monolith back will complete SRP.

Firelake - Dirge for Planet (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OST) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDCNlqMgnvo#)

Miraculous crystal
Given by stars
I can foresee the future
In fabulous glass
Lie spilt on the caves
Mock scribbled on us
Earth's doom day is close

Dancing on the ashes of the world
I behold the stars
Heavy gale is blowing to my face
Rising up the dust
Barren lands are desperate to blossom
Dark stars strive to shine
I still remember the blue ocean
In this dying world

The seas overdumped
The rivers are dead
All planet's cities turned a deserted land
Annihilation declares its day
Life slowly
Utters me "remain"

Dirge for the planet
Dirge for the Earth

Dirge for the planet
Dirge for the Earth

Dancing on the ashes of the world
I behold the stars
Heavy gale is blowing to my face
Rising up the dust
Barren lands are desperate to blossom
Dark stars strive to shine
still remember the blue ocean
In this dying world

Title: Re: A request
Post by: Cutch on 05-02-2011
To be honest, incorporating Mono in the first place was NEVER a good idea. Eventually, even with Rovonger(Dunno why he is even better than Predu or Bielecki), Monolith turns into a shit storm. I will give a couple of examples.

Does anyone recall the railgun they made that fired fucking lasers made of magic back in the beginning of 2010(Under Rov's Administration)? Or any of the other occasions in which Monolith used magic that doesn't fucking exist? Or when Monolith would wander around outside of their base and rob and kidnap stalkers right outside of DUTY base.

A lot of you, especially admins, say "Well if I see somebody do that, I will ban them!" But the truth is is that either that person isn't seen by an admin, they are friends with said admin, or the problem is just overlooked. The sad truth is that HGN's playerbase will never be able to handle Monolith.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Dug on 05-02-2011
Then you let someone else lead it. I sure as hell ain't giving up on roleplay that easily which monolith can contribute.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Cutch on 05-02-2011
I don't think you are getting the point, Monolith is impossible to not be corrupted. Giving pretty much any of half our playerbase a Monolith character is like giving an assault rifle to a child.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Dug on 05-02-2011
I am sorry but I strongly disagree with you.
Monolith needs to be put back otherwise it's a waste of content and possible roleplay.
I want the monolith back just as 55 other HGN members in my vote do.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Bielecki on 05-02-2011
I think you're over-reacting Cutch. When myself and Predu ran the fraction we did a good job to minimise any drama. (Not sure if you were playing at the time of our leadership.)

I mean sure, we had some issues like firing too far out of our base but we tried to acknowledge these issues and stop them.  And I don't know about everyone else but after that it all went pretty smoothly.

And our Monolith player base? Sure we went off to a bumpy start but we all learned, and by the end we were being very conservative about our moves.

As long as the new leaders do the same as we did, Monolith will be a nice addition. Because have you wondered why so many people are voting for it back?
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Cutch on 05-02-2011
Because they do not know any better.

Alright, I will support Monolith being reinstated, and I will also support when people want it taken back down in another month or two.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Ravanger on 05-02-2011
I am not saying I am the most perfect, I did make mistakes thats main reason why I wanted to incorporate Duran considering he knows decent amount of Cannon. We arent all going to make the perfect image but we can try. I did not mean that state about Predu and Bielecki and such a insult I ment it as a difference considering I will lead differntly. Cutch does have somewhat of a decent point as Monolith is a very hard faction to lead and control. Considering the cannon limits and other various things. I made mistakes so did other leaders but what leader on HGN hasent made a mistake.... Also I have heard about that magic stuff I never used that during my lead as well mainly how that stuff gets started is over exhageration by other factions or rookies.Even though there was a few people that did have magic going around or something crazy.

I have learned many things from leading as well as playing shortly under Predu's lead.

I see without monolith to me there is a real void in the atmosphere as well as to others.

Also Cutch people will obviously complain and you havent even seen how it will be lead yet, I think it will take time to develop but yes people will complain about monolith attacking them and such but we will tell our part.

I dont think people should be just looking for a reason to complain about them or try to remove them though, that is just silly. I think we should just try and find our way to roleplay amongst one another.

Give monolith another chance...

The reason is was taken down in the first place was the fact that all the leaders left and people left.
Title: Re: A request
Post by: Khorn on 05-02-2011
I didn't leave Monolith. It was forced upon me.

But yea, any group can be power gamed. We just need to be strict on the way the group works.

Post by: Ravanger on 05-02-2011
Anyways Cutch its nice to see you supporting even if it may be negative there is a lot of things that can go wrong but I think its wrong if we dont have monolith a active faciton.

Title: Re: A request
Post by: N3gativezero on 05-02-2011
On the note of apps. I'm considering closing them for the time being. IMO the faction has enugh people in it for now, the cost of arming the sheer number of recruits is draining funds, which we need to keep the faction going. I'd say 14-16 people is plenty, and I need to see about those on LOA. Hopefuly this is enugh "proof" of "stability" for Monolith to make a return.

All factions get on for regular daily training except Freedom. Not because they don't have enough members, because they just don't do it canonly except for basic classes, sparring and such, there were NINE Freedomers on today, usually there are 9-11 Duty and 10-13 Military, I don't see WHY we can't bring them back, factions are completely stable.
