Why is it bad? You're acting like there is something expected from people to do in between wars if they're enlisted, or even officer. Things are rarely expected from officers aside from the sims or tryouts once in a while. Maybe raids sometimes, but thats even more rare. The only times I've had fun in between wars is memeing with friends on the server, doing sims, and sometimes doing tryouts. And some of those rarely happen if an officer is not there. You know how to get more officers on? Give old players officer reserves! Does it affect the server negatively? No, it instead contributes to player counts. Does it affect the faction negatively? No, it instead contributes to faction player counts. So again, why would it be bad? And if there is a situation where it would be affecting the server/faction negatively, faction leaders reserve the right to remove reserves whenever they want to. And again why do you care and why does it matter? If you care and you're a faction leader, you can remove someone's reserves. How does it affect new players as well as other factions negatively? Elaborate. Put yourself in a faction leader's shoes, they've lead a faction for one month or a couple, and they have absolutely nothing to show for it. So you're saying a faction leader does not deserve compensation, the very least being able to hop on his/her faction's whitelists, for dedicating that much time on the server and faction? Does that sound fair to you? Does all a faction leader deserve is a "Former GRU COL" or "Former 2GA Marshal" on their forums signature? None of any of these "anti-reserves" arguments have proven how reserves affect the server negatively, because there really aren't any good arguments for removing them.

Well, some people did put thousands of hours towards the server and although it's not stated they deserve anything, a reserved rank wouldnt be the end of the world especially if it didnt hold any power at all. Reserves shouldnt be something people act entitled to but for those who have done good changes for a specific faction could have a reserved rank. Its very manageable to remove or monitor how reserves are given out and take away from those who have shown they dont use it fairly or abuse having the whitelists

its extremely simple...

Suggestion: Replace the '501st Trooper : Commander' job model to the Commander Appo model instead of the Rex model. Replace the job model of 'Torrent Company : Commander' to the Rex model. Reason: Rex is the current model for the '501st Trooper : Commander' job but Rex isn't a commander until the very end of the Clone wars but we're not at that period yet. Rex leads the Torrent Company and would make sense for its model to be on the 'Torrent Company : Commander ' job. The efficient part is that the Appo model and Rex model is already on the server so no need of an external addon. Appo Model String: models/player/gideon/501st/501st_appo/501st_appo.mdl Rex Model String: models/player/gideon/501st/501st_rex/501st_rex.mdl Edit: Replace the current model for 'Torrent Company : Commander' to the Rex model.

I got bored so i mixed some cod clips with a music video. This song does go crazy tho. There's only a few clips but i enjoyed makin this .

I disagree, I thought the point of reserves was to be able to come back? Why would you need to tryout again, seems silly. The faction leader would already have to allow you to come of reserves, so the tryout/handpick options seems completely unnecessary. As for option A, it’s the current loophole people do, and it doesn’t work, it solves no problems because again there aren’t rules or limitations. It’s literally mass promotion but not because it’s reserves but it’s not. A restricted reserves system would be far less complicated. In my opinion. We need something: Everyone understands, Has clear rules/restrictions, Is fair and practical, and is easy to track/enforce by management (when needed). I don’t think your solutions are any of these sorry. I think the original idea I proposed is as easy as it gets and is easy to enforce from management, as well as having clear rules. 1IC/2IC for a notable duration, with positively affecting change OR actually needing reserves for IRL issues. Anything is case by case. Subject to management oversight.

Listen, I lost all my reserves if it doesn't come back I'm okay with that, I'm busy enough with working and doing small events on SW. However when people clearly want something enough to suggest it several times and it keeps getting support to this level, you really are setting yourself up poorly. The argument against it is weak in itself. (People abused it), okay nerf it then. Removing features that people want from a game caused negative feelings of the playerbase of the game, that's just how it works. Starwars won't have this problem, we won't have reserves, so there isn't a chance of loosing liked features. I just got off a 10 hour shift, and I'm tired. Either lock this with the message you don't care what majority player wants because that's not what the minority want, or give the kids back their fake part time job as a glorified substitute teacher.

I have held the Post of HGM twice and Managed most lore for those servers for quite a bit of time before my arrival here. I have a deep understanding of great RP event making and am a huge fan of setting a good tone for RP to Take Place. I am quite confident in my ability to create immersive and Comprehensive Stories/ Events that many can come to enjoy! Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] If you wish to have an Active, Intrinsic , and Charismatic GM to Make Consistent Events , I believe I can be the man for the job. Considering many of the GMs Departed and Abandoned us, I wish to Take up the mantle and stick by my word of delivering Quality Events with Sufficient Quantity so as to encourage activity. I will present the server with a great new wave of story based events that tie in many respective RP elements and fun decision making that will make your actions hold some weight to them. I want YOU to feel immersed in the story. I will grant you the chance to experience the Trials and Tribulations of Lose, Sacrifice, and Victory! To sum it up, I respectfully ask you to take a chance with me for the potential of great events and storytelling to usher in a new period of great things for the SWRP server, For Activity Increase, And For the Memories of a life time! Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details No, Not to my recollection. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 4+ Hours everyday for 7 days a week! In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: Just like I have stated on my MILRP Application, The Responsibilities of a game master vary depending on what the situation is on the server at the time, but I can safely say that a Gamemaster's main responsibilities are to make great events that both entertain and leave enough unsaid so as to make the Player base want more. I hope to be the kindle which reignites the spark of love for RP the SWRP community desperately yearns for but cannot fully achieve due to the Lack of GMs besides Conway and Phantom. The Gamemaster is crucial to any progression in RP made and must be active enough to contribute in a meaningful but yet consistent manner. Gamemasters weave a story together and help the RP progress smoothly. They also make sure that there is plenty to do while operations are not in effect. overall, a gamemaster's job is anything but easy; the lack of said gamemasters may be proof of this concept. It is a Privilege to be one, Not a Right. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I am simply a player and community member who wants to see the server get populated again with players who truly want something else apart from the regular SWRP experience. I truly want to help SWRP in her journey to gain population and new members alike from with story telling abilities. I want to give people reasons to be invested with SWRP again, One main way I can help with this is by being an active SWRP GM . I plan an helping the server long enough for it to return to stability. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: I wish to start a series of events that give the server a sense of cohesion, A Sense of direction so to speak. My plan for the server events on my side are to make a series of consistent style events and give something for players (Many or Few) to do in times of great boredom. A Campaign is not out of the question, Lots of planning will be put into many aspects of my GMing and Many different Things can happen. Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation] I have a couple of ideas for some good events, here are some of them: 1. A Search and Destroy Mission: Enemies- Wildlife Target- Cave that contains A Breeding Ground for the Indigenous Species on the planet. Additional Info: I would start a DB by explaining the current events and situation to the troopers and giving them their objectives. I would Spawn the enemies around the map and proceed to then call the men to the Hanger area to start the mission. I would then Cloak after sending them on their way. Follow them along the way and observe how things play out. 2. Bomb Defusal : Enemies- Droids/ Misc Units Target- Outpost Zulu Additional Info: I would start a DB by explaining the current events and situation to the troopers. After Dismissing Them, We would get into LAATs to get to our destination. We would then attempt to take back an outpost and find a bomb there. With the use of rolls, The units would attempt to Disarm the explosive. if done correctly, It would be a mission accomplished. 3. Hold the Position: Enemies- Any enemies Target- Outpost Bravo Additional Info: The Troopers get dropped off to hold a post until Reinforcements arrive. Hold the Position until time is up! 4. Story Line Event(Siege of Mandalore): Enemies- Mandalorians/ CIS Sympathizers Target- The Capital Building Additional Info- After Calling a Briefing, The troopers are informed of a the method of Entry and the Exfiltration. With the mission underway, Troops will be Picked up in a LAAT and the Map will be changed. There will be 3 Phases of the Assault, The First Phase will consist of attacking an Outer space installation, Followed up by the attacking of the main metropolis and Capturing the Corrupt official, Then Lastly, Extraditing The prisoner from the planet! Following the mission completion or Failure; The Troopers will be briefed regardless of the consequences of their actions. 5. OOC Event(Prop Hunt) Enemies- Prop Hunters Target- Survive for 5mins! Additional Info- Groups of 6 will be given a random SW Prop Model, Their Goal is to hide around base without being killed. IF they survive, They win a 5k Credit Prize. This is a Mini Event which can be done at anytime! I Hope to see some community feedback on this Application! I will be responding with any Criticism at all as honestly as possible. Feel free to leave your thoughts! Hope to be working with yall soon! SEE YOU NEXT MISSION- CT 3545 SPIKE

I'd probably play MRP again if what the community wants and what I want was similar or something that could be compromised on. I'm all for responsible and limited usage of the reserves system, the community favors an archaic and broken system prone to abuse and redundancy. As a member of the community, and someone who used to play very actively I feel as if I am still allowed to have an opinion on things. I'm pretty sure you'd stop playing MRP yourself if the server changed in a direction you didn't like. So using that argument of "well you don't play anymore" only serves to set up a hypocritical error way down the line when you make your resignation post and say "The server isn't the same as x so I'm resigning." You'll weigh in and have an opinion on threads that you yourself once said you shouldn't because you don't play anymore. It happens to everyone for the most part. Very rarely does someone quit playing the server and die a whimper of a death with no presence on the forums. Even perm banned players like to weigh in and give support to certain topics. So that entire argument is just self-defeating. Especially when you consider a good chunk of the player base RIGHT NOW are people who quit playing for an extended period of time, and came back to a changed server.

Then why would they have the reserves in the first place. A lot of people are trying to get a revamped version of reserves to come back where anyone on it is on a "tight leash" and only a select few people can get on it, preferably they have to get approved by staff first with a new system in place. If people were trying to get the exact old system back into place then I could see where you're coming from, but with a newly revamped system of how reserves work this would hopefully be prevented from occurring. I don't think officers should automatically be put on a reserves list as soon as they resign. Maybe there could be a system put in place where resigning officers can "apply" to be put onto reserves, and they must be approved by faction leaders as well as executive staff on the server. Could be a cool thing to consider. Personally, I don't think old reserves should be reinstated as it would be difficult to determine exactly who was unhelpful/harmful to the factions, it should still start out with a clean slate. Maybe if the idea above was implemented people with old reserves can apply to have their reserves returned where they can then be "evaluated" to see if they can have their reserves back. EDIT: Another argument I've seen is that people only use reserves as a way to get their rank back and gain an unfair advantage compared to other players when they return. We could remove that ability to come back off reserves with the same rank and instead force people to start out at E-4 if they do come back off reserves for that specific faction, this way people who have reserves only have limited "powers" and if they do come off reserves they must start out from E-4 or any other enlisted rank. This way reserves are really only a "title" with minimal power more than a way people can use to cheat the ranking system when they come back.

Revert them back to Jim's Guideline Doc on reserves. It prevented them from being handled out liberally, but was still fair in how they were handed out. I feel like the management team is aware of the active MRP community's opinion on reserves from the other threads. +1

That’s not a good reason to forever hold an officer position in a faction. You can’t say “they put time in” when that time could’ve been spent doing nothing, afking until war, or worsening the state of the faction. The same four people holding an officer position in every faction? How does that not sound bad to you? It affects newer players negatively as well as other factions. Not a big surprise that they support a system that ensures them a free rank after they resign lol

No there is a good reason, whether you like it or not they did put in that time to get their reserves rank. It takes weeks to get up to higher enlisted and a month+ to get to officer. And even if there was no good reason, the same four people on reserves does not have a bad reason either. It neither affects the server negatively nor the faction negatively, every time someone brings this up, I always ask, why do you care? This post has been +1ed by most viewers and is supported by most if not all faction leaders, its been -1ed by mostly a group of people who don't even play MRP anymore. Edit: Ha, whaddya know, three disagrees from people who don't play MRP anymore.

Spike, you would legit make the best gamemaster on here. Not only do you RP like a god you are dedicated af. I do think you should add a few more sentences to your events, basically just go a bit more in depth. But either way, +1

+1, I've talked to you a few times outside of server and you seemed like a amazing dedicated person who is fantastic at roleplaying. My only suggestion would to be make your event ideas more detailed.

Man so this is what happens when I go to sleep

A issue with the current jetpack, Is that it's being abused for people to fly pretty much whenever. I like the idea of having the jetpack being locked behind training and a whitelist to spawn it in at a NPC Spawner.

[minimum 2 paragraphs] I think I would be a good choice for staff as I'm 17 and I have been talking to soc factions and base RU to make myself more known. This shows some dedication from my last staff app. I also have a job managing school and managing my time on the server still being active. I may not be the most known on the server but most of the Russian military knows me and likes me, and I try to lead by example whenever I play. I am now an KPT and am working my way up the RU side hoping to one day become marshal. I will put this in now I only play RU side as of the moment but I do talk to some US and I am going to be playing US a bit after I cycle through 2GA.i have gone up in hours and have been active a lot more showing my dedication to the server. I also encourage good play and fair play. I try to interact with everyone I can and try to form more friendships then just people I play with. I consider the people I play with my family. I also have Zachman and also MillerJerm to show as a reference to show that I truly want to have a bigger role in the server and am always doing what needs to be done. I hate when people minge fail rp and rdm,and upholding these rules would mean a lot to me. One thing I would do as a staff member is come up with new events to keep people enjoying the server and possibly get player count up by adding new events or suggesting new things to do. I also come online late at night most nights I'm on the server until around 1am, or sometimes even later. Right now I'm trying to make sims for 2GA more RP and Bring back RP Based Combat Training to get the servers more active and make everyone hawmore fun. I wanna make sure everyone on late night upholds the rules. I could be online at night when other staff get off to reduce the stress on the staff. I am most active from 11am-12 midnight. I'm currently working with all of ru to help in any way I can with the server and the player count. I'd love to come and help people resolve the issues they have and make the server a better place. I really hope I can make staff to help everyone out and make new friends to play with. as staff I would try and work my way up the ranks when I can id love to hose events for people and even suggest new ones to the managers or to garnet himself to try and make more variety. This is why I think I would be a good staff choice Have you ever been banned or punished on GG MRP? If so, Include details only warned all for self damage and again over a month agoHave you made any previous applications, If so when?: yes may 1stHow much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 3-10 hours depending on work

Song slaps, Juice WRLD and Kid Laroi only make bangers tbh. RIP Juice

Accepted. Would love to have you on the team, hopefully you don't have any more computer issues.

Ouch...

The reason I keep coming back is to fill the hole in my heart that was the great times on CS_Desert

+1 Very good officer in 2GA those skills can be transfer on the staff team, I feel like you will make great staff.

When you’re streaming high quality gameplay it’s tough for people to not want to tune in. I charge $50/hour for my collabs. $75 if you want my editor to work with your stream as well. I’ll have my manager reach out to you.

I actually didn't mean to and was meant to, I didn't realise that It was there and must've accidently deleted it

You know, for how much I knock CS_Desert and say I hate it, god I fucking had some good times on it, thanks for the memories Mark, amazing video.

+1 You have been a great person to have on SWRP and I believe you would be an amazing game master. You have been a really good leader for the Clone Troopers and have been an amazing roleplayer. Therefore, I believe you should be a game master.

I forgot but i think these were the ones i passed in lol i was like a SSgt when i passed so i believe this was the one lol

I have met a lot of former GL Gamemasters and they definitely have a vast knowledge basis. I would love to work with you on the GameMaster team. You’re dedicated to the server and that’s what we need. +1

Let's do a collab soon

but wait theres more! I was one of the MARSOC peeps in here i dont know which one tho Garnet Mass

Shush don't expose me the hecck

+1 he is an amazing dude he is active knows the rules nothing much else to say

Yeah, I was in GRU about a year ago and worked my way up til I got LT over the course of a few leaders, a wipe, and many months, and inevitably earned LTR so I could leave for a time and return later on, I would have returned back to GRU if I still had it, all cause I take breaks for a few months doesn't mean im abandoning it, I just need a break that doesn't fall under a medical/school reason. I can understand enlisted reserves, but for people who got into officers and held their ranks and put time into their faction so that it can thrive when they leave. They should keep those reserves, sorry about grammar and spelling, I just woke up in the middle of the night to write this. +1 another thing to note this is a server, most of the stuff here comes from what the community wants, this is due to it being a ‘service’ for entertainment. Granted not all services check in on what the people using them do or don’t want, but considering how small we are in the large span of things I think we could do it here. If the majority of the people here want it back, wouldn’t it make sense to add them back? And also if the old reserves worked for a few years, why change it now? I know I’m contradicting what I said previously, but looking back it doesn’t make sense to not listen to the community on something they want.

I know i dont main SWRP. However one fix to this could be is you can have it to where whoever is on a job that can access a jetpack such as any jet troopers can go into the menu where you buy ammo and there will be an option to buy the jetpack for 0 dollars. This could be helpful for whenever you are on the class you will not have the jetpack on at all times.

+1 Mostly everyone wants reserves back, look at how many +1s we got on this post and the previous ones. I don't even understand the big fixation about "abusing" reserves. Why do you care if they just hop around factions? Its a GMOD server, and if that is their way to have fun on it leave them be. It does not contribute to anything negative, and only brings up player counts on such factions being played on and the server as a whole. Again, why do you care about this? It does not affect the server negatively nor the faction negatively. This honestly is such a specific case that I have rarely seen it happen. You're acting like one person leaving can completely destroy a faction, and sorry but no, one person leaving a faction is not going to entirely screw over your country, unless you're something like second IC or faction leader, and if they are at that level and want to leave, they absolutely deserve reserves(unless specific circumstances such as ban or something). When I lead GRU, many people left and joined. One person joined and literally after one hour he left. It didn't screw over my faction, it was just a person leaving. Sure it was one person less, but if a faction leader is a good faction leader he/she would know how to focus on solutions. And if one person puts enough time to get up to a higher enlisted rank, or an officer rank, I doubt he'd be screwing over the faction. I left higher enlisted when I was part of PDSS and I did not screw over my faction at all, but the effort that I put in before it is what defined my time on the faction. I don't really understand this point. Why does it matter if someone on reserves destroys people in tryouts? Maybe the person trying out isn't wanted in the faction? This point really does not make sense. Please elaborate.

But this is exactly what me and Aidan came to an agreement on when "REMOVING" reserves. You can keep it so long as you have a valid reason and/or are contributing to the faction

Accepted Due to the fact of all of the community support as well as me with my experiences with you have seem to be friendly, and I personally have seen a change. I will accept this appeal. With that being said any kind of slip up in any way such as allegations or toxicity will result with the ban being put back in place with no question. i will give your more information on this in private.

Accepted With reviewing of this appeal and all of the evidence that was reviewed. The ban had seemed to be rushed with the evidence that was given. The evidence also could have a capability of not being 100% accurate. The player will be unbanned and the situation will be handled.

its actually crazy how they take so much more evidence to ban other hackers, but this one was just a go with minimal evidence, the evidence isn't "damning" sure its a lil sus, but nothing to warrant a ban in my personal opinion.... idk I could be biased as I am Larry's friend but at the end of the day this seems kind of bullshit

Why is broken using a 3rd party client when we got told that NO ONE should be using it, and only managers should be pushing perm bans.

+1 Coming from a former hackers these clips aren't even that sus... He makes the same flick every time, other than that they are just normal kills

ACCEPTED The ban that had been issued seemed to have been a misunderstanding. The 3 Rules for a NITRP ban have also seemed to not be broken due to the evidence. The User will be unbanned.

I can tell you over the span of 2 years where I amassed 7 reserves, most through multiple months of being in factions, obtaining high officer positions and assisting the faction, however, none of them are needed. The whole concept of reserves kinda baffles me after looking at other servers and systems. It's really just a backup card shoved in your ass when you move on from a faction. I left a good amount of factions cause the people that made in enjoyable left and it became unbearable. I moved on and was able to get into a new faction and proceeded within it, going on reserves to assist the leader at the time with tryouts for classes (this was literally only because Greshnev had tryouts for specialty classes and because I was still leading his war branch at the time for SSO. Literally nobody does this today.) A lot of people are like "oh but all the work I put in come on man". Really? The work you put in today? So that was what? Holding tryouts? Removing "toxic" and "mingey" people? Not to be toxic or anything but officers today and most enlisted really don't contribute much yall (thats not all of you, some of you acc care about the server and treat it more than a TDM shitfest). From what I've seen, heres how the current progression in SOF goes: Get in->Become friends with everyone->Make fun and good memories and get promoted every now and then->Get officer->Become entitled but still be cool with your friends and also cool now you can host raids for them so you're extra cool. If you really really really wanna keep that rank, just ask if you can duo faction. From what I remember, no rule against it. Handpicks still exist. If you're concerned about your activity just pull a Jim. Sit in your faction on the rank you want for months and deny any promo. (Actually baffles me Coyote and br0ken allow this) If you want to be with your friends, be with you friends! Hop on 2GA pvt and mess around why don't you. We all know you're gonna use donor classes with a reserve MOS anyway if they come back :). -1. Sad to see this suggestion keeps popping up cause I have a feeling if the community shoves the managers hard enough they'll give in to it.
