Why is it catalyst can hold 30 people a day for three years?
Why could turtle soup gaming hold 40 people a day for a year?
Why cant we?
Thats what this is about. If you have any, ANY, idea on how to attract players thats revised, and makes sense, please go for it. I've got a few. Now, when making and reading ideas, imagine yourself as a new player who knows NOTHING about TC. Would any of these ideas make you want to call TC home?

Default PE flags:
Yes, I've said this before, but guys, give it a chance. Props really add to roleplay, and they will be closely moderated by me and other SA's. Abuse of PE flags make them get taken right away, and they can't touch admin props. Players with PE flags can only touch their own props. We don't allow people to spawn giant bases, labs, consoles, or other BS. Apartment furniture, or materials for makeshift houses in the slums would be really cool for people. Propkillers just get banned, simple. A small thing to make players very happy. Flags are a privelege, and if they are abused, they will be taken.

Nexus tours- Citizens sign up for a tour of the nexus every so often. They see the basic areas, nothing that could be used to harm the CCA, and learn what it's like to be a real CCA officer, which this may want to make people apply to the CCA more, and call TC a home.

Ceremonies? Parade type things?- This is a bleh...random idea...but like...if we got the CCA to do actual like military marches just to show their epicness off to citizens, that'd look fugging EPIC. And scary at the same time.

Factions- A touch o phase 4 rp in this. If a citizen somewhat established into the server wanted to make a faction or a group of people, it may be approved into a custom class. Mabye a group of medical dedicated CWU, a bunch of terrorists who mugged enough CCA to start trouble, mercenarys (this idea im busy on already ) or anything you set your mind to. Not all the fun stuff has to go to admins.

Backstory centered chars- Yes...alot of admins have these, and so far none are TOO ridiculous. A backstory character is one who cannot actually develop his/her beginning in the server. They are not a captured citizen, but perhaps an outlander coming into the city with torn cloths, starving, and mabye found an item or two on his way here. This lets the players be creative, and their backstory must be detailed and creative, and if they start with items, don't be dumb about it like "Oh i was obamas guard and have an RPG". no.

Factory worker faction? Payment?- Perhaps a warehouse near the plaza, that alleyway one in the loyalist area, can be used as the IC plant for CCA weapon/food development. Citizens go hear, fill out a physical, are inspected, are asked of talents or skills, and then work in said factory. They do tons of /me's, and do a process of making supplements, weapons, or something else. For supplements, they would have bins of IC things like the chemicals and paste that goes in them, and then load them into crates, and the crates are put on a combine APC and physgunned to the nexus. It makes a pretty neat chain of supplies. Weapon constructors would have to icly build the gun with blueprints, /me each thing, the barrel, chamber, handle, trigger, scope, etc. The place will be heavily guarded by blade OTA units and CCA whenever in use. The players choose to get paid by time, or by items made. Say they scrounge togather 5 supplements, they get mabye...25 tokens. If they manage to throw togather 3 mp7's that are fully operational, mabye 75 tokens. Or they choose to get paid at a rate of 10 tokens an hour or...idk. It's full of "Ors" and "what ifs" Then they go home and sleep and do it again. idk.

JOBSSSZZZZ- CWU is one thing. Minimum wage is another. With the last of the humans on earth, the combine wont just let them sit around. Have them DO SOMETHING. Perhaps create a sort of small, unimportant jobs fot citizens. Cleaners, medical CWU workers, factory workers like above, delivery jobs, landlord for apartments, maids or janitors for loyalist apartments, room service, etc. Yes this sounds sort of more like real life, but hey, why not? The combine may as well make them work. No jobs like police officer or firemen obviously. Just simple low paying things that benefit society.

So yeah...leave your suggestions, and feedback below. WE WANT NEW PEOPLE GAIZ. THIIINNNK. and remember again, while reading revies, would a non admin player want this?

At Level 2 the loyalist can apply for CWU and buy their own store (1,000 tokens). At Level 3 [-20 points] a loyalist can apply to work inside the nexus as a janitor or paper work management.

CCA - Lower ranking units can remain flagged up when there is an out of whack ratio, Lower ranks need experience and should reach quotas faster than the others.

Rebels - Minimal Rebel RP and the slums should be watched constantly to it ups the chance of being caught and PK'ed so there isn't so much rebel RP (I was in the server all day today and not one person flagged to citizen and just stayed anti-citizen.)
