       How did we actually end up where we are now?
       By: Whoop Date: May 20, 2012, 6:12 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Basically, let's discuss how we all started out/met?
       Honestly, I could start out with my story..
       I started playing Gmod at a very young age.. I was pretty good
       at building, but i was horrible at everything else.
       My first months of GMod were spent on build servers.. mainly
       playing with my Danish friends (Whom I've met through CSS, they
       introduced me to GMod)
       I had tons of fun.. I remember the first thing i learnt to
       build, a sideways trashcan with some tnt in the end, which
       turned out to work perfectly as a canon.
       I then got into DarkRP (Everyone must have been there before)
       One of my buddies from an old CSS server said he knew the owner
       on one, so I decided to join.
       That's when I met Duspende for the first time, he had the
       internet to host a server, so he was Mr. Popular at that time.
       We quickly got to know eachother, and I became Super Admin.
       Later on things got more serious. My cousin found this awesome
       Semi-RP server, he said it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than
       darkRP, I decided to join him.
       From that moment on, I took my first steps into the world of
       FearLess Roleplay. Many years passed in FL, oh the times I had
       In there.. I met a bunch of really awesome people..
       Including Skaara, Kenny, Raffi, Fallen and a bunch of other
       amazing people. I ended up being promoted to admin, I had a good
       relationship with the owner, so things went smooth.
       But as all good things has to end, I grew tired of FL:RP, cause
       in the end it all ends up being the same shit over and over.
       So I decided to search for excitement else where.. Though,
       having met JukeBoxJohnny on FearLess (You suddenly gain a lot of
       friends when you're admin on those communities)
       I saw he was playing something called 'HL2RP' I decided to ask
       him what it was about, he said that it's serious roleplay set in
       the Half-life 2 universe.
       After having played Hl2 and being completely amazed by it, I
       decided to join him to see what it was about.
       Unlike many others, I enjoyed my first time trying it out, I had
       so much fun, and I was particularly impressed by the combines..
       They scared the shit out of me
       but yet was I amazed by the voice commands. Not only did I meet
       JukeBoxJohnny, I met someone else.. Vandarium, he was playing a
       female JURY unit on the server.
       Obviously I got into some shit and was arrested at once, though,
       before I got arrested, I was actually a good citizen, helping
       the community. So the JURY unit knew me beforehand.
       When I got into the prison, things quickly took a turn.. It
       ended up me cybering for the first time.. With Vandarium on his
       female JURY. It was a weird and awkward situation.
       After that, I was hooked to HL2RP, damn I had a lot of fun.. I
       remember once me and my cousin made female characters, and we
       got this black dude arrested for 'violating' us..
       Which he clearly didn't, but we managed to get him into torture.
       I then took a break from the Hl2rp servers I used to play on, I
       can't remember why, but it must have been a new game or
       something.
       Though, few days after, I saw Duspende playing on a RP server, I
       messaged him asking if it was any good. He replied 'YES, I even
       got SA on this one.'
       I decided to join immediately. That's when he got me into the
       Vignette faction he made, I was amazed.. Seeing as the Vignette
       faction's code
       was based off the OTA faction, so it had all the voice commands.
       So this was officially the first time I had all the voice
       commands in use.
       This was PBG. My new home for a long time..
       The rest of the story is known by most of you.
       So what now, let's hear your story?

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I wonder if Whoop was like all those small danish kids on the
       mic who everybody hates.
       Ironically, I almost have the same story.
       I first heard of Gmod from my best friend, like it was with
       almost any other game, including Metro2033. My brother was also
       playing it, so I bought it. At first, my bud taught me the
       basics, then I joined Seth's Diamond Build where my brother was
       admin. I've built a lot of awesome stuff :D
       Then one day Seth got up a second server with DarkRP. An irl
       friend of my brother, my brother, me and my best bud. Oh god, I
       had some epic moments there. But not as epic as in Fearless. The
       cousin of an irl friend of me told me about Fearless being much
       better, so I joined the server to check it out, along with my
       friend, my brother and his friend again.
       The first impression that it gave me, was bad, but I gave it a
       chance, and I soon ended up spending lots of my time to make
       more and more money. My bud had a crappy laptop and crappy
       internet, so he never made too much of a big success as he kept
       getting shot during his typical lag. My brother turned out
       pretty well, and especially his friend again. But neither of
       them did as well as I did. I played there for a whole year
       before I was banned from the forum for being a troll and
       post-whore. (Yes, I was a little disgraceful kid, and I think
       "Oh god why" when looking back at those times).
       I almost didn't play there at all anymore, because a few weeks
       before I got banned from their forums, I had joined Whoop as he
       played HL2RP which seemed very interesting. And interesting it
       was. I joined PBG in the early stages and developed my
       characters through a long and epic story. I've never had such
       passion for any other game. And as Whoop said: Most of you
       already know the rest of the story. :3

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Well, when I first started playing Garrysmod, all those years
       ago.
       I didnt even know how to use Multiplayer... I thought it was
       broken  :P
       When I finally figured out how to use it I found myself at first
       playing some Deathrun servers, getting bored of them quite
       quickly.
       Anyway, during our usual school days Cayden Black, otherwise
       known as Matthew Jones was talking about Roleplay, and how fun
       it was.
       So that night I decided to try it out, finding my way to a Dark
       Roleplay server I quickly became addicted, i'd never played
       anything like it, then one day, a guy named Fallen popped onto
       the server, he seemed like an alright guy and told me about a
       good Community called Fearless, so I followed him, meeting the
       Owner of Fearless, SoulRipper, who was again a great guy.
       Anyway after playing at Fearless for a month or two I got
       offered an Admin position (My first actually) and I gladly
       accepted it, eventually I became friends with quite a few people
       in the Community, most who i've lost contact with, a few who I
       still play with (Whoop, Skaara, Jukebox)
       After quite a long time I started getting bored of Fearless, so
       I went out to look for good roleplay servers, finding Infusion
       gaming, I personally love Fallout and the server was quite fun,
       although I didnt feel at home.
       By this time Whoop and I (See what I did there Ace?) had grown
       apart, until one day I decided to be nosey and look at his Game
       info, having a few previous experiences with HL2RP I hesistated,
       but asked him what it was like, he told me that it was great and
       the roleplay was fun.
       So I joined, and this server just happened to be PBG.
       Anyway, PBG was probably one of the best communitys I had been
       part of, and when it fell apart I wanted to continue, so after
       quite a lot of attempts here we are.
       Platinum gaming, it's been a fun trip. :)

       Well, as you all know, I was born in a test tube in some evil
       lab.
       One day, when I was about 7ish, I saw my brother playing some
       game where was making this video.
  HTML http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlK_2tO3RsQ
       I started dying when I saw him doing that and I asked him what
       game it was.  He said it was something
       called Garry's Mod.   I was all like, can you get it for me? :3
       He eventually downloaded it onto my family
       computer that I used at the time.  When he did, I played it for
       about a year, never using multiplayer
       because he said it was "bad" or something (Probably to keep me
       from being like those annoying kids).
       Then, I took a break for a while (due to technical issues with
       Garry's Mod, playing on my new Xbox 360
       for years to come.  I used to play so much Xbox it wasn't even
       funny.  I met a lot of really nice people
       on there, playing games like Halo, Gears of War, Modern
       Cockfare, and Battlefield: Bad Company.
       On Christmas day, a little while ago, I got my first personal
       computer.  An HP gaming laptop, it was super nice.
       When I got it, my brother had already put Garry's Mod on it and
       I was like :D.  Then, I got back into it, seeing as
       my computer could finally run it without having a seizure and
       dying.  At first, I only played singleplayer.  But then,
       I discovered the wonderful world of multiplayer.  First server I
       played on were DarkRP, where I spent a TON of time.
       I then moved on to TTT and things, still not finding a good spot
       to settle.
       Lastly, I joined this server called Tim's Land HL2RP, where I
       met Sashuh and Vandarium, along with a couple others.
       I walked around, being TERRIFIED of the CPs.  They scared
       theshit out of me.  I decided I MUST become one.  I asked
       around, trying to figure out how to become a CP.  They finally
       told me the forums.  I was like "forums"? What are these
       crazy things?  As I have never signed up before on forums. I
       finally joined and got accepted!! :O  I was so proud of myself.
       I finally got my first unit, setting him up and everything.  I
       logged on one day, getting to promoted to Jury.04 and then, the
       same day.. the server facking shut down.
       I then talked to Vandarium, agreeing we needed a new server.  We
       both set out to find a new one.  He sent me a PM, saying
       I got a new server.  I joined him, playing for a long while on
       the server.  This server was PBG.. Vand, a guy named XxSonicxX,
       and I created characters on this new server and we stuck
       together like the coolest group ever.  Our adventures involved
       suicide,
       plots of murder, and love.  It continued this way for a while
       until we switched maps, where I basically met everyone...
       So, that's meh story.  Oh, and I met Whoop in City 45, thinking
       he was an evil smartass admin.  Met Kenny in City 8, thinking he
       was a gay rapist man.  Met Skaara in City 45, thinking he was a
       total fucking drugie with his dreads

       I do believe Kenny wasn't around at that time, he joined up in
       City 8. (Where we made lesbian couple)
       [quote]I wonder if Whoop was like all those small danish kids on
       the mic who everybody hates.[/quote]
       Actually, I wasn't. I never used my mic, other than for Skype
       calls with my friends (Until it broke, still waiting for new one
       atm D:)
       Besides, there is a thing worse than danish kids on the mic, and
       that is small english kids, who hasn't dropped their balls yet.
       God, even Kenny hates the kids screaming on his street, imagine
       if they were playing GMod? lol.
       Anyways, when I look back at it all, it was actually because of
       Duspende that we all ended up where we are now.

       So lots of you don't actually know me, my story isn't nearly as
       extensive as some of the others... But here goes ;D
       So my mate showed me GMod for the first time when i was about
       13-14, I really enjoyed building random shit and just being
       retarded on single-player, to be honest, the multi-player option
       never really phased me. So my friend went on holiday and lent me
       his steam account while he was away, I had so much fun playing
       around with his games I decided to get them for myself.
       Once I had my brand new and remarkably shiny steam account and
       games, I started playing Trouble in Terrorist Town which
       eventually drove me to such boredom that I stopped playing all
       together. I didn't touch GMod again for ages, until one day, one
       magnificent day.... I met who you all know as Kenny (that's a
       backstory for another day). Point is, Kenny led me swiftly to
       Fearless. I really did enjoy FL:RP, to be honest, I enjoy
       semi-serious more than serious RP, but that's not the point...
       From then on, I have been joining a veriaty of different
       communities to play with ma best pal  ;D.

       I lol'd, Ace.
       And Whoop, don't you mean City Eighteen? Or was it the short
       while when we had City8, that Japanese-ish-themed map? In Tokyo
       or some shizzle?
       What I hate the most, is German people, no matter the age,
       talking to me in German over mic as if I understand a shit of
       what they're saying. Ohgod as that annoys me.
       And now that I think of it, I actually do remember that I met
       Jukebox and Eyespy already in Fearless o:
       Well, as you see, Whoop and Kenny became admins on the FL server
       while I kept being a little douchekid, but honestly, the admins
       weren't really trying at all to make me better. They actually
       made me worse. (Yes, I partially blame the admins there apart
       from Whoop and Kenny). AS I said, I discovered PBG's HL2RP
       server, and later their forums which was, to me, as opposite
       from Fearless as possible. Fearless was big, completely serious
       and a bunch of douches to me. PBG was welcoming, unserious and
       funny. I know to this day what a pain in the ass I must have
       been, but I still know that the admins didn't treat me as they
       should, so to this day I am attempting to be the most cozy and
       pleasant admin as possible. Sorry if it seems opposite of that.
       I just know how cruel admins can be. I might not know exactly
       how I should be, but I definitely know how I should not be. So,
       yeah :3
       Anyway, we lost PBG mostly, but Platinum gaming is, to be
       honest, a follower of PBG as it has le old gaiz from there :3

       Yeah, I remember most of you guys from Fearless... but that was
       back when I never really spoke to anyone other than Kenny xD I
       never came online if he wasn't on etc etc, I was like that one
       kid you forget is there until he pees in the corner.... no? you
       guys never had that problem ? right, right, me either ! But now
       i'm more confident in my rp skills (not that you needed any for
       FL:RP) so I actually do stuff  ;D
       Oh also, German GCSE is the biggest waste of time that I have
       ever had this misfortune to select as an option. It's not that I
       dislike Germans, just their fucking language !

       So yeah I'll hop on the bandwagon.
       I started out on singleplayer too, then I started playing
       multiplayer on a build server, found a DarkRP server one day and
       entered it.
       Then I found Fearless and I played on it, but it's generally the
       same shit over and over again like someone else posted. So I
       found HL2RP and started playing it, hence me being here lawl.
