Why do you play CM?

[mdom]

I am just curious to hear from all of the players that I interact with on a regular basis. What makes you keep coming back to Colonial Marines? What do you want to see in the future from CM?

[UnknownMurder]

I play because I can, and I find playerbase enjoyable.

I expect CM to be HARD RP.

[xomega000x]

I enjoy the Alien series quite A LOT, though sometimes CM Is... Err...Non-RP.

Though in some moments, you do feel like you're a Marine, let's say in a room, with only two of your mates surviving,

Both of you manning two heavy MGs, blasting the door-ways, whilst another marine Is barely standing up and trying to cover the windows...

So yeah, immersion Is sometimes a pro but quite be a con most of the time.

[OliverCarswell]

I play because now its part of a job for me. I'll make a more detailed post once my computer decides to respond.

Here's the kicker, I got into CM after playing Alien Isolation, finding it very interesting to RP both from a humand and xeno perspective.

Mind you I've not even heard of Aliens before Alien Isolation, so probably I'm going to heresy'd by Coronel, Octa and Caryl.. So, you can say I'm a bit late to the game.

HHHHeresy!!!!!!*BLAM*

Back on topic,i play on CM since the first one due to the new reaches,the military RP(that fit with jacks backstory of how he lost his arm).
And its my job.
That and who else can control the angry infantry?


That and this is better than the CM game

[danielharper]

Great RP fun, jokes and heroic moments with fantastic people like dolores waits, paul kanaga, osaala wooki, xur drengens, patton cherry, norm peterson, chris peach.. the list goes on, but these ones deserve special mention

No round is really the same, odd ball events always happen. Sometimes lucky sometimes unlucky. Winning or losing doesnt bother me, the end result matters less aslong as the journey to get there is fun and it usually is

[MrGabol100]

RP is the lacking factor, but when it happens it's really cool, everyday it improves, goonstation faggits are leaving or improving their gameplay, everyday the playerbase gets better and most of the admins try to do their work.

It's a good server overall, with a improving playerbase.

Then there's the dude that downed my reputation for doing an arguing suggestion in the suggestion subforum. *Sighs*

[apophis775]

Maybe, don't argue like a crazy person in suggestions? That's not the place for whining/bitching/moaning/complaining. It's a place for suggestions, with rational arguments, not "Cut the stupid removals, please.". If you have an ACTUAL argument/suggestion I will be MORE than happy to read it.

[razerwing]

I play CM because of some of the people I've met here. I won't be naming any names, but these few people are the main reason I play.

Other than the folks here, and my shiny new job, I play the server for the RP that happens sometimes. Though, recently, it seems there's been more action on the forums than the actual game, hue hue.

Mad bait is strong in this one.

[Caryl]

Well, I started off as a player who played a marine pretty much during the server's revival. I only get to be a Full Admin on the very last day of the previous Col-Mar, when Sgt. Ahem was still part of the team before its demise and the host was Dakuuza something.

The people were fun to play with, bonding with your squaddies and then dying together or surviving and getting trapped.

It escalated quickly from there, now its a job and its still fun.

*Sniff sniff*

Do I smell ERP... :3

[mdom]

I am going to answer my own question, just cause.

I find that the RP in this server is excellent. I love creeping through the halls with a squad of marines when all of a sudden an alien runs up and jumps on one of us. All of a sudden we set out on a chase looking for our fallen member. I have some great memories of grabbing my teammates and dragging them from behind enemy lines. I know the tension in this game is just right when I start getting nervous to talk during a battle.

Really though, I want to thank all of the players, admins, and mods who have made this such a fun experience.

[speedybst]

Well, i've played since the days when marines started with 2 C4, a C20-R and briefing was a donut. I've been forced to watch this server die time after time, and so now i work as hard as i can to preserve the community and the server. And, as razer says, i play here because several people play here, although tbh Youbar was for a long time one of those players, before they disappeared...

[Sellka]

I was always a fan of the aliens universe, still go back to the Movies now an again. I've played ss13 for awhile mainly focusing on engineering for my carrier of choice. Comming to this server has really forced me to open up areas I never understood, such as chemistry, surgery, and general combat, hand to hand or ranged. I would prefer it if there were more serious.

Since I've joined I've stopped playing other games. I've been sucked into this vortex of colonial marines.

[TopHatPenguin]

I play colonial marines just because i like talking to the playerbase about well anything to be honest it is also fun when you have decent rp combined with combat which always makes it interesting and unique each round.

[BruceNorris]

I play CM cause of the RP, and it's just fun I guess. I've been playing SS13 for going on 3 years now, and I have played many a server; none quite like CM though, it's nice.

[johners12345]

I love roleplAy and the military. Placed first round as terrorist and was confused as hell xD

[adrenalinetooth]

It's fun, challenging and has a lot of work put into it.

[Lukey111]

Enough role play to be creative, enough action to get the playerbase

[Slywater]

I am big fan of the Alien franchise. CM is original, and I do like a non-cheesy roleplay.

[Aliannera]

After playing on other servers for a long while, I found CM to be a good mix between the pace of rounds, RP and action that fit me well. Funny enough, wasn’t much into the Aliens universe till after I started playing here.

[Jonesome]

I was always interested in the Alien/AvP universe ever since I first watched Aliens, and CM is the only game that actually recreates the experience from the ground up. Really SS13 is the perfect medium to translate science fiction horror with a bit (okay, a lot) of humour thrown in. After playing this game for nigh on 2 years now, it has actually made me gone back and research more heavily into the lore of both Alien and Predator series. which surprised me how much detail has been put into this pretty inconsistent world over the decades. Entire fictional nation-states and corporations that exist, right down to the calibre of ammunition people use and political treaties that have been enacted by governments. The whole backstory is very convoluted and dense, which makes rp quite interesting.

But overall I just love the feeling of being a lowly, under-paid grunt marine trying to survive. "Every meal a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade." etc.

[Casany]

I don't know. The suffering only grows with each round. The pain only gets worse

But at least it quells the trembling

For real, I played at first because it was the only other server name that interested me besides Goon. But, with time I kinda got disinterested. It's more of a once in a week or so activity, where as before I'd play it a ton whenever I could

[xXen0zS1ay3rXx]

Being the highest pop server, it means the most people to kill for a good amount of frags and salt farming.
