Public community meeting time is around again folks. Come to the discord voice chat at 9 PM Central Mountain Time. Disrupt with your ugandan knuckles memes at your own risk. Come to hear the staffs plans and directions and have your opinion of them shared. Also some good Q&A time.

A relatively small addition code-wise as far as I'm aware, but would require some spriting and mapping work.

The humanitarian group would be a small, one-role (possibly with sub-roles) "faction" that would not align with any of the other factions in the game. Humanitarian workers would all be at least slightly medically inclined, and would be tasked with providing care to anyone they find or that finds them, be it insurrectionist, marine, police, or colonist (Covenant would necessarily be excluded, considering hardly anyone even knows about them yet, much less how to treat them).

Working off of a small hospital ship that is mostly medbay, with a small engine section, cockpit, and possible 1 or 2 hangars for ambulance pelicans, there would be plenty of medical supplies and all of the equipment that would be needed to bring back anyone that could possibly be brought back. Care could include anything from bandaging a bleeding wound, to providing food and water, to emergency surgical intervention or cardiac resuscitation.

Humanitarian workers would not be using weapons in any way, shape, or form, unless things go seriously and horribly wrong (such as a Flood attack), as not only do they make themselves a possible enemy to other factions, they by extent make any of their co-workers a possible enemy, a massive no-no that ruins their neutral position. If you want to be a non-aligned doctor but have the option to start blasting one side, be a colony doctor instead.

Thanks to this neutral-ness, other factions should generally be treating humanitarian workers nicely or at least letting them do their thing, as long as they're not getting in the way. This is, of course, "generally," and morally questionable plans or circumstances could change this, but the entire point of the group is to be treating anyone they can.

OOCly, this is quite nice as, most of the time, if you are shot into crit by an enemy, there's hardly any chance you'll be rescued unless you're found by an extraordinarily nice enemy doctor, or your faction manages to recover you to treat you. With the addition of this group, not only there a role that will be there to treat you regardless of your side, they should both be actively seeking you out and be allowed to treat you, increasing the likelihood of returning to the round without having to respawn.

ICly, humanitarian workers are another slice of the "what's going to go horribly wrong this time?" wheel. Perhaps the colony MAC begins firing on the hospital ship, and no one's sure who's manning it- the URF blames the UNSC, and the UNSC blames the URF. An insurrectionist infiltrates the UNSC frigate and begins firing its MAC at the hospital ship to make the UNSC look bad. Either side could even demand the humanitarian group stop treating the opposite side, and retaliate against them if they didn't, if they wanted to go that far.

Concept: Have you ever been annoyed at how undynamic the rounds are ? It's completely disorganized and leads to points of random autism. From URF members simply shooting up each other to The Police just KoS'ing The URF for existing, it get's somewhat tiring. This is a complete rework to turn the Game into an actual campaign to take the city. Many suggestions and individuals seem to think this is a deathmatch only server, which is not true.

Phases: The Campaign begins with multiple Phases before eventually leading up to Conventional and Open Warfare between the URF and UNSC. The colonists, of course, are stuck in the middle of the clusterfuck. Of course, we'll need enforced ingame rules and a bit of a higher RP standard for this to occur. There may also need to be terrain changes to accommodate to the URF, as well as an expanded Colony.  

Phase 1:

UNSC: Non Existant

CMA: A Platoon or so of CMA Militia, subservient to the Planetary Government and somewhat of a National Guard

URF: A Squad or so of Guerillas hiding out in the mountains. There will be a squads worth of an Urban cell as well, operating in plain sight within the colony. The URF will distribute leaflets, attempt to bribe officials, try to gain political support, etc. Sometimes Forced Coercion is required, especially with gaining Police and City Council Support

Colonists: There will be a city council with multiple officials of multiple government outposts. Chief of police, etc. Most colonists are not yet sympathetic to the URF, but they are mostly disgruntled with The UNSC's and the CAA's/CMA's handling of Colonial Policy. The council will decide policy and sometimes are forced to make drastic and very unpopular decisions at command of the Planetary Governor. 

Phase 2:

UNSC: A Platoon of Marines arrive to help with the ongoing crisis within the city.

CMA: Still The 'National Guard', The Arrival of the UNSC may spark some unsaid sympathies. 

URF: It is assumed at this point that the URF has major clout within the city and in the politics of it. Numerous Colonists have formed independent cells and the guerillas hiding in the outskirts/jungle/mountains have drastically increased their numbers. Terrorist bombings, extortion, kidnapping, ambushes of Government Troops - Nothing is off limits so long as it's unconventional warfare.

Colonists: There is no more such thing as moderation now. Either you support the URF, or you support the UNSC. Loyalist paramilitary groups form from citizens unwilling to see the URF terrorists in control, terrorism is now used by both sides

Phase 3:

UNSC: A Frigate, an ODST assault group and a Marine Regiment arrive to quell the now planetary crisis.

CMA: Absorbed into the UNSC

URF: Having complete control of the colony, it is now open and conventional warfare. bolstered by militia, guerillas, and even CMA defectors, they are a force to be reckoned with. they even managed to get their hands on some MAC cannons.....

Colonists: Evacuated - The City is a warzone

The Outcome of Phase 3 will determine the fate of the entire planet.

As well as being able to play as ODST when you join the UNSC, Being a force that is responsible for keeping peace in the colony is also a nice faction to play on.

Date of ban: 3/12/2018

Length of ban: Doesnt say.

Full ban reason: Killing people at random.

Appeal details/ Why should you be unbanned: 

I dont know what this is about. In the last round I was playing, i was playing as a colonist doctor apply for a job when another colonist burst in the mayors office and held him at gun point. One colonist rushed into save him, and was killed by the gun wielding colonist, i was playing as a doctor, and into order to save both the dying colonist and the mayor, shot and kill the aggressor. the minute i went to the mayor and the other colonist, and started taking them back to the hospital, and insurrectionist burst in shooting at me and the mayor. That insurrectionist chased me down down a whole block shooting at me.

 Almost immediately i found a weapon, went back to the hospital to find more of the bastard there. I opened fire at them since they already showed that they were killing colonists. I wounded one, before i was killed by what i believe was some sort of radiation that seemed to have been affecting everyone. I had called the police, the COP was even right outside city hall and did nothing about it.

 The fact is, I only killed one person, who killed another colonist, in order save another and the mayor, and was fighting back against insurrectionists  who gunned down said mayor, and chased me across the map to try and murder me afterwords. I did not, in anyway, go around killing people randomly.

Recruiter's Report:  This recruit joined the Marines from Earth, his reasons for joining is quite common by some who get recruited from earth.  Which is to get a job in the military cause his dad referred him to, and that it was a good paying job if he put in his years of service.  After weeks in boot camp, and couple of months in field training this Marine complains, and groans alot.  But, I do got to say he adapts quite well to the current situation, knows how to operate a Pelican, has sufficiently knowledge in the medical field, and is very.... paranoid which keeps him keeps on guard.

-Earth's Army recruiter


Reason for joining : To be a Halo Marine assisting the best of the best.  Also, I like how the Lore describes the UNSC troops.
