I'm really missing MRP, so I decided to make a little montage to remember some of the nutty shots I pulled off last month. Enjoy, and s/o to the boys that made Charikar fun. Sorry about the 29.7 FPS. This resulted in screen tears, and blackening of the screen. Changing my upload options for the second video!

This has been an ongoing project that I've worked on since last November on and off in my spare time. I have 4 different versions trying to achieve the same thing (although one is incomplete and another is a work in progress). I have no plans on selling this nor am I making it for another community, and I'd like to get feedback and ideas on the entire project from the MRP community. I'm exploring this project for the sake of extending my knowledge in Lua and UX/UI design. I'm gonna try my best to avoid getting technical so I won't be showing any code snippets as that goes against the purpose of this post. To begin, here's a description of what I currently have as of the writing of this post (for those interested, it's rather long): And a question to the community, what sort of things would you like to see in/from this project? What sort of features, capabilities, or even war modes? I've based my current plans on what the community has suggested for GG prior, but I'd like to get a fresh take in case those have changed. I already plan on creating a loadout system that supports custom and pre-defined sets (donators), potentially a prestige system, and a squad system that everyone can use. And the modes that I have planned out are Skirmish (TDM), Domination (Objectives), and Quickpoint (Hardpoint / KOTH). And for my current plans, are there any extra ideas you may have that could develop more depth, usability, or gameplay?

[minimum 75 hours, use /playtime in-game]: | 5thSFGA MSG Nut has played for 1266:35:31. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: [YES/NO] Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] Yes Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] Zachman Past experiences as staff: [Optional] MRP Mod from 7/22/18 - 10/31/18 on GG How do you plan on benefiting our server? [minimum 2 paragraphs] Leadership: Over the past two years that I've been in High School I've been involved with my schools ROTC program. Involvement with this program has improved my leadership skills such as good judgement, decisiveness, initiative, integrity, good work ethic, and knowledge. Relating these to the staff role on the MRP server I can quickly and efficiently make a the call on an issue that is server related, I take the time to make sure everyone has a good experience and try to do anything and everything to benefit the server and community without the supervision of others, and being former staff I still have a decent idea of how to conduct matters staff related (i.e Sits, accusations, etc.) Attitude: A quote that I try to live by is "Attitude is Everything." Being friendly and mature while also having fun is something that I try to live by whenever I interact with friends and family and is something I can definitely translate to the community as I've tried previously being nice to people that are new and/or people I don't know. Maturity is everything when it comes to staffing and at all times you must keep your composure and not get mad easily which is something I believe I'm good at doing. Being apart of the staff team not only sets an example for the rest of staff but also for the server so helping newer people and immediately getting frustrated with them will drive them away from the server. Commitment: Although i'm still fairly new coming back to the server I have made the decision to play often and be on as frequent as possible. With this I feel the want to be able to help people more than just tips and helpful facts about the server and how it operates but also help in a way where I can be valuable to the staff team and the server. Closing Statements: All in all i'm not applying for a position in the staff team for "clout" or a "social status" but rather because I genuinely want to help the people of the server and community to help make the server a fun place for all players alike to play in. Thank you. Have you ever been banned or punished on GG MRP? If so, Include details: NITRP Ban: This ban occurred about 2-3 weeks after I joined the server in april of 2018 due to me being a minge and not taking the server all that seriously at the time. Accidental Mass RDM Ban: Random day in December 2018 and accidentally threw a grenade on Seal Tactical class while grabbing ammo killing three gb members. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes - 7/22/18 - How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Weekdays I can be on anywhere from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. depending on sleep schedule and Weekends anywhere from 2 p.m. to 12 a.m. due to work.

Got accepted into my preferred University! : )

Accepted needless to say you've made a complete 180 since your return, and I'd be more than happy to have you on our staff team. Welcome!

I've been an active member on Star Wars RP since the day it came out and ever since then I've been hooked, whether it was 10 or 80 people on I've been there, one of the few people actually supporting the server through thick and thin. Everyone I've talked to before posting this has said I've been a consistent friendly face willing to help however he can, and now I want to help out by joining the staff team. As well as being an active member of the community, I’ve been in a variety of leadership roles on both MRP and SWRP and everyone who’s served under me has said I'm a fair and honest leader. As a member of the staff team I can be active during hours most people aren't due to being in EST and always getting on SWRP as soon as I can. Along with being active I’ve also expressed my concern with the CT recruitment system not being welcoming to new players, and I’d like to take over @bishopil's job of telling people to make them feel at home, and be a friendly face in a position of power. Even though I have a lack of experience which I'm absolutely willing to admit, I'm 100% open to learning and willing to do my best because I know it's what the community I hold dear needs. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? No Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Never How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: All day from 9am - 10pm EST If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? Web and Lua development, and basketball (but I don't think that would have any effect on activity for the foreseeable future). Did you read the staff rules?: Doggo

They don’t seem like their your friends if they’re trying to ruin something you genuinely enjoy doing. +1 I like your app and the community is giving you positive feedback good luck @eXg-Buddha Any way you can ban these guys?

I apologize for this being so late, I'll try to upload the next meeting sooner. Some other things that should also be noted. I cut for a few reasons, A, there is a long silence, B , im talking (recording didn't pick up my mic), C, when i tab out the recording ends so I spliced the clips together (cuts weren't long enough to miss important stuff that I know of). Next time I'll try to avoid B and C.

i cant feel my nuts

ok betting 9 on 100x rn

+1 Very active and respectable member of the community, has a strong staff app and would fit in very comfortably with the staff team. GL

In-game name: lewis Age: 17 SteamID : STEAM_0:0:196276070 Warns: 0 Timezone: BST (GMT+1) Playtime?: lewis has played for 95:46:52 Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): - Past experiences as staff: Anexis Gaming Moderator | Zarp Gaming Moderator | Superior Severs Moderator Why should we choose you over other applicants? Experience + Knowledge I have over 4200 hours in Garry's Mod and i'd estimate that 75%+ of those hours are in DarkRP servers. I am an experienced staff member and my superiors on previous staff teams have always been satisfied with my performance as a staff member. I have without a doubt taken over 2000 sits in my time as a staff member on other servers and personally feel that i have completed all sits to a good standard. Aside from staffing i believe i have great knowledge of Garry's Mod as a game so if users are facing any issues regarding FPS drops, missing textures etc i feel like i would have a good idea on how to help them. My Qualities I believe i act very mature in game, i never minge but i am willing to have fun from time to time with other players and not take the game too seriously. I also see myself as a very good listener, in sits i will hear out both sides of the story and make a fair judgement on the users, such as not directly punishing a player just because of their lack of knowledge in DarkRP, it is more important to educate these players first instead of directly punishing them as it will keep them interested in the server and therefore the player base will stay up making the server more fun for everybody. I am also very dedicated, since joining the server i have been committed to achieving level 60 and in under 85 hours i managed to achieve it with help from some friends i have made on the server so far. Dedication To Staffing Duties When i play garnet i spend a good portion ( around 60% ) of my time semi AFK basing with my gang, therefore this time will allow me to put my full attention into staffing. Also with the current state of the pandemic of the UK i have little to do besides college therefore most of my time is going into Garnet, also the upcoming summer holiday in the UK means that i will be able to stay very active over the next few month. I also believe that staffing is essential to maintaining a server and its community and therefore i will put my all into staffing in order to keep garnet as one of the top servers on DarkRP. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? Yes, i've been playing gmod since i was 13 so as expected i have done my fair share of rule breaking however i am past that phase in my life now. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: - How much time do you have to contribute to the role: Due to the current pandemic and not being allowed out in the UK garnet is what i'm spending almost all my free time on. Currently i'd estimate i'm playing 8+ hours per day at a minimum and that will continue for the foreseeable future. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? Usually i like to go out and chill with my friends and just do general teenager things, i also go to college where i am studying 3 subjects one being Computer Science. I also like to watch football ( soccer for you americans ) and simp over girls who don't know i exist. Did you read the staff rules?: lewis

No cuts this time because I made sure to include my voice by unmuting and not tabbing out. The beginning is before the meeting starts so you might wanna skip that. I quickly combed through the vid in case I cropped the text so I may have missed it cropping. If that's the case let me know.

Accepted I really hope you maintain a good attitude this time around and don't make me regret this. With that being said, happy to have you back on the staff/gm team.

I think this guy would make a pretty good staff member, His hours are a little low but I dont think that will be a problem. +1

I get what you're trying to say but it's like telling and newborn how to drive a car No need for this comment. Again I don't understand why you're trying to fuel a wildfire, If you have something to say that's not related to giving a positive or negative support, gorgeous making a necessary comment, or just a necessary comment on the application . If you want to say something like this take it to the PMs You're just as bad as them if you're doing this. +1 Good application You seem dedicated for it and I see no issue with giving you a shot sounds like you have a lot of good positive reputation on the server.

This staff application is not the place to put screenshots of a discord conversation as it's not only irrelevant to the app but it's clear people are faking quotes so I find this hard to believe.

Yeah I get that he thinks it should be a verbal warning but this isnt really a place for opinion, the staff member handling the sit decides on the punishment. "If you weren't involved with or have evidence regarding a situation, don't respond to the thread." There's already too many uninvolved replies on this thread including mine, so opinions on the punishment from somebody not involved have no reason to be posted.

Naitsir, You're honestly one of the most level headed members on US, I think any staff team on any server would be lucky to have you. Big fat +1

Goodbye @Zephyr, also Happy Birthday!

This is one of the biggest nostalgia trips I've had in awhile. I remember when we first used this map, we switched from CSDesert. I was in redindy's Tali and that was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming ever.

I can relate...

Role Changes Banker Banker can now access Bank doors Printers may be stored legally within the vault of the Bank and it is immune to raids by CPs Hobo This role may freely build at the beach, assuming it does not interfere/hinder a Deliveryman's duties. Rapist Class Check added to see if either party have disconnected, unfreezing them within 5 seconds if the rapist has disconnected as to not leave the victim frozen. Fixed the notification for transmitting an STD Distance check has been made far more strict, you must be nearly grinding (you read that one right) on somebody to begin a rape attempt Cinema Owner Feature removed seeing as months ago Garry's Mod dropped support for HTML5 for those who didn't specifically change out to the chromium revision, which to my best understanding is buggy at best. Spiderman Now has access to all PD doors Spiderman's web swep has been given a significant buff Terminator Now has access to all PD doors Bank Only Bankers can purchase the doors of the bank, and printers may legally be stored in the vault room CPs cannot raid the bank, only raiding roles can. Dueling Duels were made more balanced - joining a duel with perks will simply erase any health/armor/speed buffs as to have an even playing field (please do not suggest I re-assign people their perks following a duel) Chop Chop duels has been fixed - the loadout weapon is now a Karambit Fade Bug Fixes Buttons Button models have been fixed once again Jail System Jail positions now have hard-coded defaults in the event where they were changed.

Entirely possible, but not practical for MRP. Sounds like an interesting side project though like maybe for a gamemode competition, but I don't think it'd fit for the average size of MRP maps and player count. Definitely gonna keep that in mind though since that actually might be fun to port.

Huge +1 From having the chance to really get to know Naitsir, I can comfortably say that he is well deserving of a staff position.

Never Seen you in game cannot upvote but based on ur app u look good. Good luck getting staff!

+1 He has been a good jedi every time i interact with him, either when I'm a Padawan or his R2 unit. I would like to see him the opportunity to provide to the server.

You're supposed to do /playtime in game IIRC but the paragraphs were some of the best I've ever seen so I'm gonna go ahead and +1

+1 I've seen him on quite a bit, and be spent a lot of time on his moderator application.

Aside from personal attacks on my character, none of what Mob said or showed in the report was falsified. I simply cannot argue against the overwhelming evidence of my failrp. While I believe that a permanent ban is quite excessive and the desire for that is driven by Mob's emotion, I still feel that me going unpunished would be unacceptable. That being said, the only ban that my actions would qualify for is NITRP. I do apologize for everything there. However, there is much more to the story than what is shown in the report. I have been compiling clips and screenshots from various sources across the server that show similar actions and much more toxicity from many players and even some staff members. I choose not to release them for the sake of not stirring the pot and turning the server upside down with accusations flying left and right. @Phantom please accept this report and ban me as you see fit.

this is sad thanks zephyr for always being my buddy and i am happy i got to play with finger nugget! or zephyr me salute

Actually a wholesome video. Knew you for only a short while, but you were incredibly kind to me all the time, and I appreciate that. You stood up for me through everything I went through, from helping me prove my cheating innocence to trying to defend my ban, and I really do commend you for that. Its a rare breed out there these days. Nice edit, and its a shame to see you go Zephyr. Join TS sometimes and hang with the boys. /me salutes.

+1 It's something that's been tried many times, and I think in this stage of the server it needs to be implemented. However, the base faction rifles are already solid weapons, I know when I was in 1MD using the M16 it was a headshot machine, I've tested the AK and can confidently say it is a solid weapon. I even hopped on the Army soldier class back on Chaharikar and talked to Army in TS just to show them that they have a solid rifle. I've also heard from Rangers their rifle is statistically worse when is comes to accuracy than the Army AR, the only plus side to the SOPMOD is extra attachments, such at the M203. That being said the current rifles are in a good state, it's just that the current meta is long range which leads to DMRs. DMRs could for sure use a buff, at the current moment their damage is fine, two shots to the body, one to the head, however both rifles (SKS supposed to be semi-auto and MK14 full auto) have the fire rate of an old man shot in the leg. While the MK14 is "supposed" to be full auto, I'd recommend that the SKS and MK14 are given a fire rate increase and that they are equal to one another, the only plus side to the MK14 at that point is just being able to hold down trigger, which isn't effective mid-long range anyway. SKS needs to be able to reload and possibly have more attachments, while the attachments for the SKS are what I used to use on Mosin, I can see why people do not like the PU scope, after using short dot and NXS it is the worst of both worlds. It has the mobility of the NXS, but with range only slightly further than the short dot, which in turn makes it feel really clunky if not quick-scoping. However the CQC weapons need some balancing, so here is shotguns and LMGs. The simple truth here is that the 2GA demo class FAR outweighs the Army demo class. One has a LMG which is practically ineffective unless taking COMMS on Siberia or holding courtyard in EMB. Sure if you get set up right it is pretty solid as it does turn into a laser, hence having bipod out, upper story courtyard, but compared to the 2GA shotgun it is nowhere near that powerful. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten mad that "a base faction has that good of a weapon" after being practically sniped by a shotgun, however this anger is mostly because of the balance. I honestly wouldn't mind 2GA keeping their shotgun, but Army should have some sort of equivalent. So the simple solution here is giving Army a shotgun. OR you can nerf 2GA shotgun along with buffing the M60 in some way by giving it either higher damage or lower spread/higher fire rate when the bipod is not deployed. Giving Army back their shotgun has been tried many times and is unlikely, the best option here is nerfing 2GA shotgun to be less effective at range, possibly getting rid of slug rounds, then giving Army a LMG that has lower spread/higher fire rate when not deployed. Oh and give both classes some damn reticles

Even though we didn’t talk a whole lot to each other you’ve always given off a positive aura to everyone, wether in-game or in a TS channel. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

welcome

Im going to miss you and your accent.

/me salute Always chill to be around ima miss you

All weapons suffer from increased spread while moving and immediately after moving. That’s the reason people are choosing to use a sniper at mid range. You only have to hit 1 shot (ideally lol shout out 25% gang) so the aim spread is irrelevant. I agree donators shouldn’t be a necessity to succeed in war. However let’s remember this is a server that relies on “gifts” to stay afloat. Gifts that people, in a non-altruistic way, expect to be compensated for. Should it be day and night? No. A donator should not vastly outclass a class weapon in the same category (AR, SMG, etc). However increasing class weapons too far, would discourage these gifts to an extant. The guns are good if used properly. An 11B doesn’t have to be a MARSOC and a 2GA doesn’t have to be Vega. However, they should be taught the game. Not just told the rules and then thrown into the deep end. Even if it’s common sense, they should be told an AR loses to a MP5 at Embassy. An AR will lose to a sniper in the open. Pick your fights. Teach em to use 3rd person to peak a corner so they don’t run into a shotgun or an SMG. Teach them how to download a crosshair so they have a better idea of where their crosshair is when they zoom in. Sim them to show how snipers operate; tell them to strafe, and when the sniper fires, get some rounds off, go back to strafing. A large part of our RU Meeting was about growing our forces individual strength. From 2GA to Vega. Fucking hell I didn’t know that crouching before you jumped made you jump higher and farther until like 3 weeks ago. I’m not certain on how many hours @SixtyFlags has but I’m sure it’s at least a couple hundred. He’s asked for guidance and I’ve given it to him. What guns are meta, how to peek, strengths of the Mosin, lining up in 3rd person to a quick shot in 1st, etc. There’s so many things we should be doing INSTEAD of saying “here’s a better gun.” I promise you, you’ll see little to no difference in base faction war performance (minus the idiots who pose as fake privates or staff swaps) if you change guns. It falls in a similar vein as the quiz. Saying “here’s a better gun” and “just pass /quiz” is a lazy attempt to feel good that you helped new players.

In-game name: Chewy Age: 37 Why am I qualified? I worked in K-12 (education) for 11 years, taught middle school for 4 of that. I've seen and survived the worst that puberty has to offer and how to manage those effected by it (teachers and students). I was in charge of staff training and education for several years, as well as creating policies and procedures whenever needed. I've handled hiring and scheduling for my departments in the past. Been a sysadmin for nearly 15 years, and in software development for 3. I'm very familiar with software and game mods in general, as well as how integrations and configurations can be done to help drive the community and staff forward. I've been playing multiplayer FPS games since Goldeneye on the N64, and on Steam since the days of DoD (Day of Defeat, for those not in the know). I've been a ranked tournament player in the days when those were still a thing, so I get the competitive aspect and how it effects behavior and how much a player enjoys their experience. Aside from the professional aspect, I've been playing Rust since just before the Alpha ended and have been playing it almost exclusively for the last couple of years. I've played on over a hundred different servers of all types (modded, community, vanilla, official) and gotten a pretty good feel for what qualities staff need to have in order to be successful and not hate their responsibilities. Rust is often an incredibly toxic community and if you start to enforce any sort of rules or behavioral expectations on players, you have to be ready to become a target for them. Staff/mods need someone who knows what they're dealing with, knows the struggle, and is always available to support them in many capacities. I haven't been in the Garnet community for long (I think I'm at around 2 months now?), but I have around 600-800 hours played on the 2x, 5x, and 1000x. I'm definitely the most hated mod on the 1000x, which I expected to happen as soon as rules started to be enforced. I've gotten a lot of support from players at the same time though, so I think we're finally making some progress on the 1000x as far as player interactions go. I want to expand that progress into all the other aspects of gameplay on the other Garnet servers, which will eventually build trust in staff and trust in the quality of gameplay we can offer. It all starts at the top, and I want to be the one helping pull the community and servers forward.

So me and a couple other people I come across that has bought custom classes have bought custom classes, then regretted either not adding something, or adding something we didn't want. The free thief skin for example. I personally checked the free thief skin along with another that I paid for assuming I would be able to choose between the two when I want. Now that I have chosen more than one skin I have to console kill myself a couple times every time I want to use the skin I prefer. I think it would be a good idea to add in a feature to add or remove things from the custom classes that we paid for as we desire so that this wouldn't be an issue in the future. For example if I decide I want my custom class to have a few guns that it doesn't already have or I want to add another skin that I couldn't afford at the time, I feel like I should have the option to edit the custom class to add those things. Or if I feel that my custom class is too crowded with weapons, or I think that it has too many skins that cycle through I could remove them through a class editor. Not get a refund on them or anything just tick a box or something that temporarily removes the skin or item from the custom class.

@Garnet

I want to make a change where the police officer class is changed from combine soldier to metro police because the skins look way better and it would be more lore friendly rp wise due to it being civil protection and you made the police chief a combine elite i dont think that the police officer should be a soldier and be the metro cop instead

So as you know I resigned permanently and wanted to make a cringe montage of my time in GRU. @Hashim @Hysteria @Flame @SixtyFlags @Jesus @Malmood @Tristan , Rob and Stromboli! Thanks for everything!

it's okay, they're my IRL friends who know i play on here and are clearly not as mature as myself and just seem to enjoy being toxic and trying to ruin something i enjoy.

As soon as I saw this report, I was pretty certain of my decision already. A ban for NITRP is long overdue, but I do not think a permanent ban is justified just yet. Hopefully Moldy will learn from this and come back with a better mindset. Bear in mind, you were perma banned on MRP before, so this is really lenient. The last thing I was on SWRP are toxic friend groups stirring the pot. @MoldyHotpocket the judgement of others being toxic should be left to those who haven't been toxic themselves. Focus on bettering yourself first.

Hey man

I guess this averages out as a +/- 0 for me as there are some parts I agree with and some I disagree with. Agree: He definitely needs to show more respect towards players of higher rank as well as admin. Even in OOC respect should be given and shown to those in charge and Moldy has been resistant towards that for a while. He definitely acts as a ringleader and can lead lower ranked clones into trouble. For me this is the biggest problem because it turns into something that affects the server as a whole, not just him. His RP is often out of line and that needs to be dealt with. All of these issues create problems that we dont want as examples for newer players. That being said, there are a few points I want to address: I think he handled resigning from the 501st well. He didn't show anyone the letter he wrote because he believed it to be personal, between himself and Mob. While I can't speak on Mob's leadership or personal situation, I know that other current 91st members expressed similar sentiments when they switched from the 501st. While I think that at times Moldy went overboard, I don't think leaving the 501st should be held against him because it was as part of a group that felt unhappy in their current situation. In regards to the event yesterday, while I think he definitely was out of line with what he said in game, he was not part of the problem with the event. Since Oatlife was AFK for the event, he instructed me to lead the 91st. After the padawan falsely dismissed us, we interacted with Aparh when he came to construct a ramp. Given that we had an interaction with a GM, we didn't know that everything had gone to shit until Phantom and Aparh told everyone to RTB. As we were on the opposite side of the map attempting to start an RP scenario, I feel Mob's wording makes it seem as though he was responsible for the event falling apart. In all, while his behavior is inexcusable, I think his issues shouldn't be exaggerated for the sake of trying to get him banned.

You obviously don't understand that I wasn't even reported, I was banned completely by the will of an admin, who put zero effort into looking around in the situation lol. I wasn't even at a sit roof when I got banned, I didn't even get to tell my part of the story. I was banned compulsively literally on the spot, and even I know when a new player is reported, they have the opportunity to set things straight and tell their bit of what happened. Very poor admin management, I bet you can even admit.

Looks like an FOV Slider
