Community:Mariodragon102/Rockport, City of Remmington

State of Rockport, is a Roblox group, based on real life American cities. The state itself was founded in 2013 and it's primarily known for being one of the original Ro-States on the platform. The group was originally created by FedoraMasterB98. The state was primarily patrolled by The Robloxian Cops (TRC) as they were the first agency and the original group created by FedoraMasterB98. On March 7th 2015, FedoraMasterB98 officially handed the group over to LordRobobuy who on May 3rd 2015, handed the groups over to the current holder mariodragon102. FedoraMasterB98 originally left TRC and Rockport as a whole because of the toxicity and corruption he saw possibly coming in the future, and due to the fact he "Missed the smaller community", many believe to this day the outcome would've been different if Rockport came before TRC. Upon FedoraMasterB98's departure he created a smaller group called the City of Norfolk which was later abandoned in favor of Firestone. Mariodragon102, the new owner, never decided to give this group to others people, this is why he has a bad reputation and people have strongly criticized of him.

Gameplay
Remmington layout consist of two islands, the smaller one hold a hospital, some buildings, sheriff office station and a visitor spawn in a parking lot, the latter is the largest island of the archipelago which hold the downtown, suburban area, capitol, state patrol station, developers HQ, a gas station, The Robloxian Cops station, national guard base, a night club, taxi warehouse, DoT station, vehicle compound, a fire station and a mall with spaces for lease.

Most players start as a visitor on the small island, while citizens only spawn at the larger island and have access to more vehicles.

Depending on the choice of the player, he is subject to arrest or being shoot at (running over law enforcements officials and/or some civilians, bearing arms in public and opening fire, not pulling over, trespassing government property (NG base and capitol), committing vehicular infractions after being pulled over 3 times), they can also take part in roleplay aspects of the game such as hostage situation, hanging in a night club, breaking a friend out of jail, etcetera.

Cities
The State of Rockport had 7 cities in its entire life-span these were very popular on the time of their creation.

 * City of Plainview was a desert based map, this was a map of its own, it was not the most enjoyed by users but some came to call it their favorite.

 * City of Monica was one of the first larger maps within Rockport, but users still found this map enjoyable and will tell you about their adventures.

Activity
Since June of 2021 a former Assistant Commissioner within TRC, has stepped up to the plate in attempts to bring back Rockport as a whole. This user is known as b_rian5001, formerly known as brian5001. This user has been in-touch with mariodragon102, and is one of the current two Co-Owners. The game averages 15 attendance per patrol with every department in-game including a few new ones. The previous group membership of over 100,000 has since fallen, but they're trying their best to rebuild this once classic state. The game is functional with weekly updates, the group members expect to see a brand new game in the future, this game will contain both the City of Remmington and Lakeshore joined in one large county. As of 2021, the group gained 65 members, making it higher of 950 members.

Use
Remmington has been leaked by many users and was commonly used as a free model game, this leaked version of the game is no longer functional and is rarely used. Rockports vehicles however, are still used by multiple well known groups such as Mano County, City of Winnipeg and many more, it's unknown if the use of these models will come to an end, but they're the start to many famous role-playing groups. The majority members of the group were exiled in early 2017, with FedoraMasterB98 chuckling at it in a tweet. As such, the previous group membership of over 100,000 has since fallen and has a little over 1,400 members in a locked group. As such, it is not used often by a large group of people, if any at all.

In 2021, Rockport saw a small popularity spike due to b_rian5001 becoming the new governor and co-owner of the group, resulting in revamps of cities and groups, also re-adding the RSP (Rockport State Police), SCSO (SweetWater County Sheriff Office) (formerly based in the State of Pennsylvania), RCS (Rockport Correctional Service), SCFD (SweetWater County Fire Department) and RPR (Rockport Park Rangers). While keeping actual agencies TRC (The Robloxian Cops, now serving as municipal law enforcement for each cities) + TRC divisions (SWAT, AC), RDoT (Rockport Department of Transportation), RHLS (Rockport Homeland Security) and RNG (Rockport National Guard).

As of 2021, Rockport gained two new groups for the City of Remmington (capital city) and Lakeshore, plus SweetWater county group (SweetWater county hold both Remmington and Lakeshore).

Vehicles
Most vehicles are on the same chassis, credited to NWSpaceK for the manual transmission shifter (usually a 6 speed, with a average top speed of 69 Studs per Seconds) in the chassis UI which even have a flip system (in case if the vehicle has a rollover) and headlights switch (low beams). Vehicles are now build by both b_rian5001 and HunterEldredGaming.
