People that think preds are hard to kill haven't really killed one before.
All it takes is a stun and it's dead.
You say we're an RP server first which is really just not true. We're a TDM server first and foremost.
Gameplay should come first in this case. We're also not associated to the Aliens franchise anymore, so there is no reason we can't make our own lore.

I have to disagree. While we are indeed a TDM server, we still expect a certain level of RP, and the predator is a role which has mandated RP requirements.
As for the lore, we're still using a large amount of names, items, behaviors and other things from the lore, no?
There wouldn't be really a point for whitelist story if CM wasn't an RP server at all. I would be a synth by now if this wouldn't be RP server.
Playing xeno most of the time can bend a person view towards TDM, but marines cand do RP. They are just not rewarded for it. Only punished by gameplay standards.
Yes, I agree that we are an RP server, but RP is not our top priority, which is what I mean.
We're using a large amount of names items and behaviors from lore yes but that's because they're holdovers from the Colonial Marines days.

Staff still won't give benos identification becouse muh lore as benos faceless horde.
As you can see lore is on top of the gameplay.
Firstly, while it may suck to have to recover gear, it IS relevant and important. removing it virtually is undermines the very basis is if the role. �Role�play.
Secondly, lore is very important. While we aren�t beholden to typical lore, we should still have a basic lore framework like we currently do to allow for both advancement and structure. Without structure and lore, which in turn contributes to roles ( such as rank structure, ic laws, shipside roles, briefings, gameplay knowledge and lack thereof)....and the story of the game, we are just Corporate Mercenary. Pure TDM can be fine. But make no mistake it isn�t CM. CM is a mix of both with our roots as a medium RP server. Trying to change that is pointless. You can always make a new server or see how corporate merc is doing, if it even is still alive.
If it is the second option then it�s proof of working concept. If it isn�t, it is like lebensraum and halo. A shrine that too little RP isn�t enticing ... and creates a failed server when your basis of the story lies in lore and action.
Cm lies in lore and action. It�s for that reason, CM�s version of MRP works.
On that same note, you still have to have action and intrigue. SCP server
failed in that way.

There will always be RP here on CM. Is it the best? No, but it's there and it's something people want as people keep coming back for it.
Just because there have been some changes, changes that we legally had to undertake, does not mean we had to change up the entirety of things. We still have our lore and
it's still heavily represented in game and used as a foundation for new development.
