"Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers."
City 17 RP is a persistent, multiplayer text-based roleplay game built right into the forum. Inspired by Garry's Mod Clockwork HL2RP, it drops you into the world of Half-Life 2 — a city under Combine occupation where citizens scrape by, Civil Protection enforces order, and the Resistance fights in the shadows.
Everything happens in real time. Other players see what you do. Your character, inventory, tokens, and progress all persist between sessions.
► Enter City 17 (or click # city-17-rp in the sidebar under ROLEPLAY)

Getting Started
When you first visit, you'll be asked to create a character. Pick a name and write a short physical description — this is what other players see when they /look at you. Everyone starts as a Citizen at the Train Station with 100 HP, 100 Hunger, and 0 tokens.
You only get one character per account, so choose your name wisely.
Not ready to commit? Guests can spectate the Train Station without logging in.

The World
The game spans 55 rooms across three regions:

  • City 17 — The main hub. Train Station, Plaza, Apartments, Canals, Industrial Sector, Sewers, and more. Includes the Combine Nexus (CP territory) and hidden Resistance safehouses.
  • Ravenholm — A zombie-infested nightmare accessible through a hidden tunnel. Father Grigori's Church is the only safe zone. Dangerous but rewarding.
  • Highway 17 — The coastal road outside the city. Antlions roam the sands, Combine soldiers patrol the bridge. A thumper device keeps the bugs at bay... as long as someone keeps it running.

Use /map at any time to see an ASCII map of discovered areas. Unexplored rooms show as [???] until you find the exits yourself.

Basic Commands
Moving Around
Use the direction buttons below the command input, or type directions directly:
/go north — Move to another room (or just: n, s, e, w, u, d)
/look — See the current room, exits, items, and who's here
/exits — List available exits (also shown in direction bar)
/map — ASCII map of discovered areas
Some exits are hidden — explore thoroughly! Hidden passages, grates, and tunnels connect areas you might not expect.
Talking
/say Hello! — Say something to everyone in the room (shortcut: "Hello!)
/yell HELP! — Shout — heard in adjacent rooms too
/whisper Bob Hi — Private message to someone in your room
/me smiles — Emote — displays as * YourName smiles *
/it rains — Narrate the environment
/ooc — Out-of-character chat (global)
/looc — Local OOC (room only)
/roll — Roll 1-100 (for RP decisions)
Your Character
/stats — View your HP, hunger, faction, level, and playtime
/desc — Update your physical description
/name — Change your character name
/inventory — Check what you're carrying (also in sidebar)
/examine item — Inspect an item's description

Items & Interaction
Items are scattered around the world — scavenged supplies, contraband, lore terminals, and more.
/take crowbar — Pick up an item from the room
/drop medkit — Leave an item on the ground
/give Bob medkit — Give an item to another player (same room)
/use medkit — Use a consumable (food heals hunger, medkits heal HP)
/read terminal — Read a lore terminal (can't be picked up)
Contraband items (crowbar, weapons, resistance gear) are illegal. Civil Protection can /search you — if caught carrying contraband, expect consequences. Contraband also drops when you die.
The ACTIONS panel in the sidebar shows context-sensitive buttons — Take, Read, Attack, Shop, etc. — based on what's in the room. Use these for quick interaction without typing.

Combat
City 17 is dangerous. Hostile NPCs roam the Canals, Sewers, Ravenholm, and Highway 17 — and other players can be a threat too.
/attack zombie — Attack an NPC
/attack Bob — Attack another player (not in safe zones)
/defend — Brace — 50% damage reduction for 30 seconds
/surrender — Give up — if CP is present, you're auto-arrested
/heal Bob — Vortigaunts only — heal another player for 30 HP
Weapons & Damage

  • Fists — 3 damage (always available)
  • Crowbar — 15 damage [CONTRABAND]
  • Stunstick — 10 damage (non-lethal for CP — 30s stun)
  • Shotgun — 12 damage (found in Ravenholm)
  • Sawblade — 10 damage (Ravenholm scavenging)
  • Crossbow — found on Highway 17
  • Pulse Rifle — Combine-issue, Highway 17

Safe Zones: The Plaza and Nexus Lobby — no combat allowed.
Death: When you die, contraband drops in the room. After 30 seconds you respawn at the Train Station with 50 HP and 50 Hunger.
Hunger: Actions drain hunger (moving -1, attacking -2, working -3). At 0 hunger, you take 1 HP damage per action. Eat food to recover.
NPCs: Zombies, headcrabs, fast zombies, poison zombies, zombines, antlions, and Combine soldiers spawn in their respective regions. They fight back — watch your HP. Killing NPCs drops loot and earns EXP.

Economy & Jobs
The currency is Combine-issued tokens.
/balance — Check your token balance (aliases: /bal, /tokens)
/jobs — List available jobs
/job scavenger — Take a job (must be in the right room)
/work — Clock in — earn wages based on playtime
/transfer Bob 50 — Send tokens to another player (same room)

  • Ration Distributor — Work at the Plaza (citizen)
  • CP Stipend — Nexus (Civil Protection only)
  • Black Market Runner — Resistance Safehouse (resistance only)

/lock — Lock your door (others can't enter)

/accept quest — Accept a quest (max 3 active)

/abandon quest — Drop a quest you don't want
Quest types:

  • Explore — Travel to a specific room
  • Gather — Collect a certain number of items (consumed on turn-in)

Rewards include tokens and sometimes items. Some quests are faction-restricted.

Factions

  • Citizen — Default. Just trying to survive.
  • Civil Protection — Combine enforcers. Can arrest, search, issue warrants, distribute rations.
  • Resistance — Freedom fighters operating in secret. Access to the Black Market.
  • Vortigaunt — Alien allies. Can /heal others.

CP only: /arrest, /release, /search, /warrant, /ration
All factions: /radio message — broadcasts to all faction members across the map
Factions are assigned by admins. Want to join one? Roleplay your way in!

Leveling & Progression
Earn EXP by playing — killing NPCs, completing quests, working jobs, and exploring new rooms. Your level (1–100) is cosmetic and comes with Half-Life themed titles:

  • Lv.1 — Newcomer
  • Lv.10 — Survivor
  • Lv.25 — Resourceful
  • Lv.50 — Vance Protégé
  • Lv.100 — The One Free Man

Your EXP bar is displayed in the STATUS panel. Milestone levels (10, 25, 50, 75, 100) are broadcast to the whole server.

Tips for New Players


  2. Explore early. Visit new rooms to earn exploration EXP. Hidden rooms give double.
  3. Eat before you starve. Hunger drains with every action. Grab rations from CP or buy from vending machines.
  4. Don't carry contraband openly. CP can search you. Stash illegal items in a rented apartment.
  5. Check the bulletin board. Quests are easy tokens and EXP, especially early on.
  6. Watch the ACTIONS panel. It shows you what you can do in each room without memorizing commands.
  7. Ravenholm is not for beginners. Gear up and bring medkits before venturing through the tunnel.
  8. Use /map. It updates as you discover new exits and areas.
  9. Stay in character. Use /ooc for out-of-character chat. Everything else is in-world.

I've taken some extra steps to secure the site from future intruders, however if you encounter a vulnerability please let me know!

Everyone should have been forced to change your password recently. If you use that combination email/password on any other site it's highly recommended you change your passwords there as well.

They did NOT send this announcement out via email.  So I never saw it.  On 12/5 I noticed the site was down, and I created a ticket with them and got this lovely response:

** This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email/ticket. The Crissic brand is now closed down as of December 4, 2016 and will no longer be existent. We are keeping the Crissic website online for a few more days, however all infrastructure has already been decommissioned in full and all client data has been securely wiped out of our drives. **

So I moved the VPS over to a company that wont go under any time soon.  (Digital Ocean)  And thanks to .Lb's planning and foresight we had a backup from from Feb 2016 to restore from.   The last backup I had was from 2013 so we lost way less than we would have!  Thanks LB!!!

TLDR:  We outlived our hosting company and had to restore the site from backups. ]]>

Copy and paste the format below into a new thread, fill it out, and wait for an Administrator or Server Op to reply. More often than not, the appeal process takes a few days to finish, as the Administration has to get all of the facts straight before coming to a verdict. For those of you creating an appeal, patience is key during this period. It is also important to note that following the format and using good spelling, grammar, and punctuation are imperative details of every ban appeal. Appeals that lack any of these are usually removed without judgement, so it is a good idea to take your time and make sure you followed the format/have understandable phrasing.

When commenting on another user's appeal, please only do so if it involves you directly, or if you believe your comment is absolutely needed; otherwise, your comment will most likely be deleted from the appeal.

So I'm sure you've all heard the babble that I'm going to be managing and operating mIKe's ReVeNGe for the foreseeable future (God help us all) but this does
NOT mean that I own mIKe's ReVeNGe. mIKe is still the king koopa around here and he still gets the final say in everything, but I'm going to be acting as his
'shadow' of sorts in the sense that I'll be the one actually carrying out tasks such as managing servers, assisting with problems, managing the forums (Along with
Lb), and basically running mR.


Before the flood of questions come pouring in about what I'm going to do about mR's extremely poor shape (No activity, No clan nights, Inactive members, Inactive 
admins, barely being a clan, etc.) I would like to address some obvious questions first.


Q: "Why were you selected out of everyone else to run mR?"
A: "The answer is simply that I'm online the most and most available to fix problems that may arise within the clan, I can be reached 24/7 via steam or via 
cerealboxcinema@gmail.com (I still gotta get a webmail). I can also fix server problems from anywhere with a mobile connection using remote desktop from my 
phone, tablet, or laptop any time of the day."

Q: "How can we trust you?"
A: "If you've met me before you'll know I'm  a pretty easy going guy, I honestly have no reason to do anything bad to mR. What would be the benefit? Losing 
friends? That'd suck eggs, so I'm not gonna do it."

Q: "Exactly how active will you be?"
A: "24 hours a day, 7 days a week I'm available to help out. If I'm at work or sleeping I might reply a little slow but it'll get done within a few hours max
(less if it's a major problem such a server down)."

Q: "Who hosts the servers?"
A: "mIKe still hosts his own gameserver, but I have yet to check the info on it and as to what it hosts. mIKe also hosts the website as well. I'll be hosting 
Minecraft, Terraria, 7DTD, CBC, HL2RP, and anything else we need on my personal VPS."

Q: "How are donations split?"
A: "Because of issues we've had in the past (Lladar) donation splitting is an iffy subject that I will tread lightly. Basically, if you donate to the link
on the forums the money goes to mIKe and he uses that to pay for the site and any other server needs. I'll also set up a donation link if you want to donate
to the gameservers. Basically, if you want more servers then send it to the VPS. If you want more website stuff, send it to mIKe. I personally keep none of
the money and it all goes to the server costs. I'll leave this subject up to mIKe to decide seeing as it's his clan and will operate upon his decision."

Q: "What does this mean for the clan?"
A: "None of the clan-based systems (Ranks, Admins, Members, etc.) will change as of now unless required to ensure the proper function of clan activites or
site operation."

Q: "Why do you talk like a robot?"
A: "I failed Señor english because of Video Games, and thus I talk like this. Thus this that was sally has hairy feet lol"

So go ahead and ask any other questions you want.

]]> Ok that title is a joke, don't get your panties in a bunch.



So I'm sure you've all heard the babble that I'm going to be managing and operating mIKe's ReVeNGe for the foreseeable future (God help us all) but this does
NOT mean that I own mIKe's ReVeNGe. mIKe is still the king koopa around here and he still gets the final say in everything, but I'm going to be acting as his
'shadow' of sorts in the sense that I'll be the one actually carrying out tasks such as managing servers, assisting with problems, managing the forums (Along with
Lb), and basically running mR.


Before the flood of questions come pouring in about what I'm going to do about mR's extremely poor shape (No activity, No clan nights, Inactive members, Inactive 
admins, barely being a clan, etc.) I would like to address some obvious questions first.


Q: "Why were you selected out of everyone else to run mR?"
A: "The answer is simply that I'm online the most and most available to fix problems that may arise within the clan, I can be reached 24/7 via steam or via 
cerealboxcinema@gmail.com (I still gotta get a webmail). I can also fix server problems from anywhere with a mobile connection using remote desktop from my 
phone, tablet, or laptop any time of the day."

Q: "How can we trust you?"
A: "If you've met me before you'll know I'm  a pretty easy going guy, I honestly have no reason to do anything bad to mR. What would be the benefit? Losing 
friends? That'd suck eggs, so I'm not gonna do it."

Q: "Exactly how active will you be?"
A: "24 hours a day, 7 days a week I'm available to help out. If I'm at work or sleeping I might reply a little slow but it'll get done within a few hours max
(less if it's a major problem such a server down)."

Q: "Who hosts the servers?"

You've probably all noticed that the Bukkit team's been dropping like flies and that Bukkit won't be updating to 1.8, which is a pretty devastating blow to the Minecraft multiplayer community - Some people are already starting to create alternative APIs but I'm not sure how well they'll work (some run on Forge which is more for mods not plugins).

Anyway, bad news aside, let's get some good news!

I've been trying out the new 1.8 version of Spigot for the last two days on Legit, and it's worked pretty well. We've used it before on the old (first) RP server, and it's basically a server program built on top of Bukkit but with extra features. They released a patcher file to avoid DMCA takedowns, and patching a 1.7 jar allows 1.8 and 1.7 users to join the server. For now, Spigot is available on Build1, it performs just like Bukkit did and all the same plugins are available, but now 1.7 and 1.8 users can login. Of course, no 1.8 items/blocks can be used, but Spigot hope that the current version is a temporary solution until they can get a fully working 1.8 system.

Secondly, Legit is now running Vanilla Minecraft 1.8. Seeing as you guys wanted 1.8 worlds, Spigot wasn't an option, but I'll switch it over once it becomes an option. It's not currently whitelisted but I'll start creating a list and add it soon.

Spigot seems like the best option for now, it supports all Bukkit plugins which is a huge plus over other APIs that are emerging suddenly.

Happy Playing!]]>

So without further delay, let's all give a warm welcome to Bmanrules and Videowarrior to the admin family!

Both of them will be full blown admins, but I think Bman is going to concentrate on the Minecraft servers, while Video is going to be working on some source servers!


Welcome to the family fellas! I'll be on and off today, but Ill work on getting y'all access to various things throughout today!]]>

Minecraft will be consolidated and moved into its own hosting platform (mcprohosting).

Build1 Current map will be loaded as an alt world, new test map will become primary. I am open for discussion on this.

Buidl2 will get its own dedicated mcprohosting server.

Legit and RP will be on its own server. We need to determine if we are keeping the current legit map, or using the new legit's test map.

Going to downsize a few servers, and others will be archived.

Teamspeak will stay up
Gmod TTT will stay up
TF2 will go back up (for now)

All other servers are on perma-hiatus unless someone speaks up.

All other comments, concerns questions and complaints are always welcome.]]>

All you have to do is this:

Download this per-configured miner (ATI Cards currently only):
http://mikes-revenge.net/mR-Miner-(ATI).zip

Extract, and run the start.bat, and you are mining for mR! You can start or stop anytime. 5 minutes, 50 minutes, or 5 hours will add up in the long run.

You can view your hashrate and progress here:
http://www.hashevolved.com/miners/XSoBx2eHMtworcL8HmN1chXxLqAj4D3uVW


If there is enough interested Ill setup an Nvidia miner, but ATI gets far better hashrates (generally speaking, and Glic's card doesn't count)

Now, before you get concerned with power usage, and heat.. the mining algorithm used on these new altcoins uses 40% less heat and power than bitcoin itself.

The mR miner uses a program called sgminer, and can be configured in ways to throttle your GPU down so you use even less power.
