Citizens

When you first begin your journey through City 45, you are a typical citizen. This guide below is to help you become accustomed to proper rules and behavioral guidelines.

Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51" Bind kp_rightarrow "impulse 51"

The Nexus

Standing in front of the Nexus/running up and down the steps is not good roleplay. First off, standing and staring at a building, or at the CPs, is pointless. When one walks up to you and tells you to "Keep away from the Nexus", or "No loitering", you are required listen to them. If you choose not to, then do not be surprised if you are knocked out and dragged away or arrested. This is because you were given fair warning. This is more pointless than standing in the street doing nothing, and its very irritating for CPs, and if you are shot, arrested, or knocked out because of this, it is again your fault. It is likely that the Combine will see you as a threat to themselves; you could be attacking an officer, or trying to break into Nexus. Most CPs give at least two warnings before shooting or stunning people who do that.

Typing and You

Try to use proper grammar and punctuation as possible. Do not use terms such as 'u, dont, lol, rofl, omg and wtf'. These are only acceptable (somewhat) in OOC, but not IC.

Hierarchy

Know the Combine hierarchy: this means that its probably acceptable to walk up to a Metro Cop and ask them a question, but with every level up, the danger for you increases. This is what it means: Metro Police were previously human. However, Overwatch Soldiers are heavily brainwashed, and view Citizens as a kind of disease; talking to one of them will probably result in a beating, followed by brainwashing. They also have a larger arsenal of weapons at their disposal then the Metro Cop. This means that if you annoy them, you are more likely to be knocked out sooner, and running won't help you when a piece of rubber is hurtling towards you. The best thing to do is talk to an Officer who doesn't seem to be busy and is not guarding the Nexus. Use /cr to request to talk to an Officer, or talk to the City Administrator if he is present.

KO'ed Bodies

Don't try to drag a body away if an Officer is tying them up. This will most likely get you arrested as well, or even killed, depending on the current mood of the officer. Also, when an officer is arresting someone, it is acceptable to watch, but you should not stand right next to or behind them. Watch from across the street.

Metagaming and Powergaming

Here is a short list of a few things that are considered Metagaming. Metagaming or Powergaming (more severe) is the use In Character of knowledge you do not have, or using abilities you've had no way of obtaining. As people their name, that way, you can prevent any trouble ahead of time.

• Calling someone by name that you've never met
• Using Combine request on someone that you've never met (use a physical description, not a name)
• Revenge killing after you have died
• RP killing someone where they cannot prevent it (such as: /me grabs neck and breaks it)
• For those of you flagged: "stealing" a CP uniform must be RPed very carefully, and must be approved by an admin beforehand.

Do not abuse your Flag to let all the citizens into the Nexus or Kill them when you never RPed taking a suit for your Citizen. So far, only Infernal and Greyfox have RPed correctly, and with prior permission (Infernal), taking a CP suit and weapons, then burying them for later use by their characters.

OOC

OOC means 'out-of-character'. Try to keep talk in OOC to a minimum. Local-OOC or PM's are useful. If someone kills you for no reason, or breaks new life rule, don't yell in OOC at them; use a pm. The whole server doesnt want to know about your problems. Local OOC is can be accessed by typing " .// <what you want to say> " PM is "/pm <first name of person you want to PM> <your message>." If there are multiple people with the same first name, use their nickname (for example, if there name was John ' Nickname ' Smith, you could use the command " /pm Nickname <message> " to send them a message.

Crime

Report crimes, as it is beneficial to you, as it will keep crime low, which will be less of a threat to you It will also keep the flow of ration distribution going. Rations give you money and will completely restore your hunger once hunger mod is working. Furthermore, once Karma is in effect, they may give you a certain number of Karma points.

Binds

It is helpful to have certain things bound to keys. This can be done with the 'bind' command in the console. This is accessed by typing "bind <key> <command>". If you want to bind multiple things to one key, you must add a semicolon (;) after the previous command, and type the next command. For instance, if you are a CP and want to bind F6 to saying 'affirmative', but also changing your name to 'ROFLCOPTER' (purely as an example) you would bring up the console and type bind f6 'rp_playline 4'; 'rp_changename ROFLCOPTER'.

Some things that might be helpful for a citizen to have could be: /y HELP!, /y I'LL COMPLY!, your name and cid, "I'll come peacefully, officer". Alternatively, if you are more prone to criminal activities, you may bind something to "COMBINE COMING!" or "/y I SURRENDER, DONT SHOOT!"

It is also useful to bind the command 'rp_toggleholster' to a key, as this toggles holstering, and it is much quicker than typing 'rp_toggleholster' into the console every time you want to put away or draw your weapon.

Think of some of your own binds that fit your character and your needs. Take note of things you say often, or that you may need to say quickly.
