Galactic Gaming

## Overview

An updated version of the server's map logo

Galactic Gaming, or ggBMRP was a chaotic BMRP that was run in Early 2022. It was born out of the owner, Jounes, being told to switch his failing HaloRP to a BMRP as at the time Wildfire had shutdown and there was no BMRP open. It was shut down due to lack of players in April 2022 as pBMRP2 had just opened up and sucked all the players from the server.

## Map

The map was started by spongedog001 but most worked on by Sdfuse. It was one of the largest BMRP maps to date and it suffered because of this. Due to Sdfuse not being proficient at mapping for BMRP (Having only briefly mapped for Wildfire before being banned) The map was crammed full of useless stuff and was very easy to get lost in. The most used areas were Sector F and the Topside Desert. Towards the tail end of the server, The map stopped receiving updates as its creator, Sdfuse, had given up after Jounes told him to add an entire Fallout map to the topside.

## Controversy

### Bosu

The owner, Jounes, was very bad at communicating. Due to this, Bosu had a hard time attempting to talk about major changes, leading to the removal of Jounes' Custom Job with many other changes to follow. Seth Wilson, whom at the time had Game Master, was getting removed from it due to "Acting as an Admin and Abuse of permissions" along with more. Seth Wilson being demoted cause him to go to Jounes complaining about his demotion, then tell Jounes that Bosu was attempting to take over the Community, and act as if he was in a Position of power. After 5 short minutes Jounes proceeded to ban Bosu and host a Community meeting, to the dismay of the entire server's populace.

### Unrestricted Entity Spawner

Jounes also was very inexperienced at running Gmod servers. This all unfolded, shorty after Bosu's ban, when the pBMRP Directors found an unrestricted SENT spawner which allowed them to spawn in the Bombs from JMOD that were on the server. This cultivated in the server being nuked, quite literally when one of the directors basically perma-propped a Nuke in the Dormitories. The server was unplayable for about 5-6 hours while the Admins attempted to figure out what was going on. In the end they found out that there was an Unrestricted entity spawner, they finally got Jounes to blacklist it, and things went back to normal, until people also found out that the Jmod weapons where unrestricted as well, causing a Musket Black-market to form where across the map people would sell Muskets, causing a Civil War re-enactment.

## Legacy

ggBMRP is remembered as one of, if not the worst BMRP server ever to be run. It was basically base DarkRP with Black Mesa Jobs and minge addons. However it has affected future BMRPs.

It was the first BMRP that used Common Computer and all BMRPs since have had it.

It also has set a run on joke about minging Visitors called "Conspiracy Theorists". This stems from GG having a job with the same name that had increased run-speed and a very powerful knife. Their playermodel was the Bandit from the Stalker Series. The joke is mainly pushed by Sdfuse, Alynn, and Bosu.

It has also set and example of how NOT to run a BMRP
