Ok only one development, but in light of the previous post I was sent this brilliant delineation of the situation at hand.

To begin with, I’ll say that the reason for my absence is no loss of motivation or inspiration, but rather a lack of opportunity for concentration. I’ve recently got back into school (my career NOT being retired military like some of you thought) which has taken away a considerable portion of my time. Fear not, however, as I’ll still be publishing blog posts (albeit not as often as the foregoing ones).
Now for the good stuff. For those of you that are unaware, the Team Fortess 2 server is once again in full, functioning condition. The fast respawn times are working once again along with the rest of Source Mod. And yes, the lag issues are fixed and over with.
If you’re completely ignorant of the forums for whatever reason, you won’t have heard of the ultimate, Sandwich Contest currently under way. The competition seems to be heating up with each entry (literally!) and the deadline is about two weeks away. If you haven’t already started, get your ass to the grocery store and get cooking! I mean, I would for $25 worth of Steam Games and other stuff.
And finally, some might have noticed the new forum section, “How to:”. This section is for guides, tutorials and other instructional mediums. Along with this, I’m making an offer. I’m planning on creating a tutorial in accords with the opening of this new forum section, though I’m (surprisingly) unsure of what to detail in the tutorial. As such, I’m willing to take suggestions from the comments section down below so try giving me something reasonable to do.

Today is another day I must acredit DSRP with some influence, but first, I’ll tell a story.
It seems today, after the supposed decline of GMod RP, that one can only find two things in Garry’s Mod RP: servers attempting to be “serious” and servers with no hope of being serious (Dark RP). While the middleman is faced with disgust in Dark RP servers and isolation in “serious” RP servers. The last time anyone saw something generally appealing to the middle of the spectrum was in GMod 9 at DSRP’s Sathyr Punk server running on rp_oviscity_b3. I first saw this server in July of 2006, right before I joined DSRP the following month.
OB has had access to a smaller server for a while now so we’ve decided to try something at the middle (lower-end) of the spectrum and host some relaxed RP on rp_oviscity_b3. The storyline will be vaguely reminiscent of Half Life 2 RP. This, however, will not be OB’s only committment in Garry’s Mod in the near future, so stay tuned for more updates on that. Before moving on, I’ll leave a screenshot of RP on DSRP’s El Taco Banana server in GMod 9. Ah, good times.

Now, with this new server we’ll need another server name. I had the pleasure of coming up with the last server name, but I’ve decided to let you, the reader come up with something this time. You can post entries on the forum in the appropriate thread once it’s up. More information can also be found there.
