Hey guys many of you may or may not know who I am. I use to be a very active player about a year ago on MRP and thanks to a lot of very old players I was able to become semi respected for a while. I made it into my dream faction (Vega) and was able to watch many people grow through the ranks and reach positions only I could dream of. I made a ton of friends on Garnet that I talked to for quite some time after I unofficially resigned/abandoned the server. I had a lot of scuffles with high ranking staff but I always had respect for them I.E Phantom,Jackal,Ethan,Garnet,Conway,Kendal,ect. I'm not known for my commitment as seen many times and I am sorry for all of those times, I never truely made a real resignation ever since my very first one many years ago. I did come back a few times only to leave several months later. Garnet has been one of my best experiences ever and I would like to thank everyone that helped me through it. I'm not going to @ people because I know I would leave people out but if you knew me you also know how much I loved you all, even you Conway. A lot of you may be asking why in God's name am I only posting this now? I haven't joined a Garnet server in a year and barely anyone who is active either remembers you or has never heard your name before. Well I wanted to make this because I am now dealing with terrible pain due to people who use to be very close to me in real life turning their backs on me. In Laymans terms i'm abandoned and afraid. I don't know where my life is going to go and I wanted to say this last goodbye incase the worst happens before I can say anything. I'm not asking forgiveness or pity but simply to say I love you all. So in my final words good luck and have fun. Garnet, you made one hell of a server none of us will ever forget. I can't express how much joy it brought to me no matter how mad I got at hitreg or my own shitty aim.

Idea : I'll be making a couple of different suggestions threads in the interest of adding more to do, or modifying what there currently is to do during peacetime. A lot of what we have now is either, not much, or clunky and more of a chore to do than just sitting in base during peacetime. This first suggestion will be modifying the way that kidnap scenario's work on the server. Description : Currently kidnaps seem extremely unfair to the victim, and awkwardly handled in terms of how they are done. The way it works currently is | You and 2 other players run up to a lonely player by themselves, hit your kidnap bind, they are now kidnapped and them reacting to it is failRP warranting a warn for breaking rules. This system has always felt out of place and weird to me. There's no room for the victim to react to what is happening to them, and from my experience I don't remember FearRP being a rule on this server. So my idea would be that Valid kidnapped adverts can no longer contain "strips weapons, smashes comms, bound to me" type of shit. Instead, the system should work as "/advert Kidnapped", and from there you would need to use /me to take your victim's weapons away, comms, and bind them to you. This gives the victim plenty of time to act in response to the kidnap. As far as reacting goes, if you are getting kidnapped, Until you are successfully bound with your weapons stripped you may run away, or retaliate and kill your kidnappers. This would also allow us to create another ROE which players can learn and understand, you may retaliate to being kidnapped if your weapons are not taken away in time for the enemy to cuff/bind you. I also have a couple ideas for more interaction in this regard: Friendly soldiers in sight of the kidnap are allowed to respond to the kidnap and save their fellow soldier without needing to advert counter. Considering they were in the area, and they saw the kidnap take place. Rescuing a kidnap if you WERE NOT in the area when it took place would require RP knowledge of where the victim is being held, and a /advert Kidnap Rescue. Or something to that effect. All NLR rules would apply to this scenario just as they would with Raids. If the Victim is not bound to their kidnapper in time, and the victim kills the person doing the kidnap, the others in that party are allowed to respond and kill the victim accordingly. You would not be allowed to Kidnap just for the sake of killing the person immediately. If the victim's fellow soldiers see you running around with them, they would be allowed to open fire on the kidnappers. This would only really be if the Soldiers did not see the kidnap take place, but DID see the kidnappers running around with the victim, then this is a no brainer. You would still need to be an officer in your faction to host kidnaps You must still have at least 2 other players with you to pull off a kidnap You should be able to kidnap someone that is in a group of people, but at your own peril considering they can open up on you for trying to take one of their own. Some things to help with reports potentially generated by this system : The players kidnapping should be recording the event for the sake of helping staff determine if rules were broken or not with what happened. If a player kills their kidnappers before the /Advert Kidnapped takes place, then Staff can look at logs, and figure the timeline out from there. Players looking to Kidnap Rescue MUST have proof of how they found out the kidnap took place, and what lead them to the area where they were rescuing the victim. Reasoning : I feel as though peacetime is a lackluster combination of AFKing in base until war, or doing combat sims. Where we could potentially have a lot more room for creative freedom amongst the playerbase to create their own fun, and create unique events that are not constricted so heavily by staff rules. I think adding more to the ROE, and even uncoupling the ROE with staff to some effect could have lasting changes in terms of fun, player population, and overall content which we desperately need. Also, if anyone would like to add any ideas onto this new system, i'd be happy to see them. As well as adding questions for staff purposes.

I've been writing a lot of research papers lately, and there's this neat psychological phenomenon called forced compliance, and it might be an important concept to consider going forward with making suggestions of this nature. Forced compliance occurs when an individual performs an action that is inconsistent with his or her beliefs. The behavior can't be changed, since it was already in the past, so dissonance will need to be reduced by re-evaluating their attitude to what they have done. Basically, people will change their attitude towards a task, like kidnapping in this case, if they're obligated to do it. The point is to ensure that the peacetime to-do's aren't void in reward, and have some level of necessity. If people are required to do these things to guarantee whatever goal that's set, they'll be inclined to do so, and enjoy doing so. (Kidnapping isn't a great example, but the principle is applicable to a lot of tasks in the relative context). //Kendal DM'd me for clarification, here is my response.

This is meant to summarize and give notice to changes made in the Staff Meeting. New rules and regulations will be in bold and green. SUMMARY: Reserves were discussed, a new system has been implemented as such: 1. The player (who must have been O-1 minimum in the faction) will request reserves from the leader. 2. The Faction leader then will make the choice of whether to forward the request to a member of the MRP Administration team or if they will deny the request. 3. The Administration team will put the request to the entire Staff team who will then vote whether they would like to grant the reserves or not. Reserve Regulations: Reserves are still capped at O-1 for that faction. If they are reserves in a SOC faction and would like to come off reserves, they will have to complete the tryout for said faction to prove they are still worthy. If you are a previous or veteran player, you will need to provide proof of your status in that faction to request reserves. You are allowed to have reserves for one faction on RU and one faction on US, this is to allow players who have helped both sides to utilize this. SEALs & Froggies: A new leader was chosen, Kendal. Ominous was moved to E-9 to act as a junior officer supporting Kendal, once he has proved himself he will be moved to O-1. SEALs will stay open under CAPT Ozzy. Professionalism of Staff: Staff are the face of the server, running most factions and being the people interacting with the community the most it is important they maintain a good image while doing so, recently(ish) this has slipped, they were reminded of how they need to act and punishments may be given out for continued questionable behaviour. Unless you need to noclip for staff purposes, do not use it at all, staying out of adminmode would be the best course of action for most. Staff entertaining the playerbase: As staff, you have already proven that you are dedicated and have the know-how to lead properly, you are now allowed to conduct mini-events, operations, anything you fancy; either organising it as SoD or doing it on an RP job. OOC events such as Duck Hunt, are allowed to be conducted but it is not to become common place, they have no depth and are only good for a quick laugh. Staff members stepping up We have what is effectively a two man Administration team, all Head-Mods and Moderators have been asked to step up and assist us when and where they can, this will overall improve how we work as a team and hopefully have a positive impact on how the server is run and operated by us. Server status Basically, the server won't shut down, please stop saying it will. Thanks. Faction Tiers We lightly touched on this and decided it is fine the way it is now, as long as people dont get to fixated on the tier they are and just keep running as normal it will be fine. It allows for natural progression, a solid structure etc.

We will never forget you gam gam. I'm here if ya need anything.

+1 Fixed my mac for free. Jokes aside this guy is 1000% staff material. had no toxic interactions with him. i believe you can make staff. You just need to fix your paragraphs. I hope this +1 will be a push for you to improve your paragraph and get you to staff! Good Luck Man!

+1 Fixed Meanwhile you do seem a good person in-game and haven't seen any kind of negative traits about you. He's a perfect candidate for staff and would be a great candidate for staff. The application just needs more detail anf fixing up and other than that (if it gets fixed) it'll be a +1 from me.

I was going to take time and really pick this apart, but I'm not going to put more time into my reply than you did this app. I will simply say 5 of your 8 sentences are pure filler and you have let your referrers down with such low effort. This application has less girth than a pencil. -1 Edit: I don't mean to come off as such an ass, it's just really disappointing to see so many people put their name on the line for you and you gave this no more than 10 minutes of your time. Edit 2: You do seem like you have a head on your shoulders and are definitely on a lot. The app still leaves a lot to be desired but your pros outweigh your cons +1

What would be cool to add to the game is a terrorist type jobs. The way the job would work is that we can add explosives to the game. Not overpowered to the point where it's going to kill every single person in the vicinity, but in some extent up to 3 people. ISIS Member: (Level 15) As a ISIS member, you can have the ability to suicide bomb yourself bu there should be about a 10 minute cool-down. This would be a great option if you're trying to raid a base and to make way for the rest of your teammates to raid it. The ISIS member job can also make money by selling: C4's - to blow doors open kind of like a lock pick. ($10,000 Grenades - the player can cause widespread damage, The radius should be 80 max and 5 minimum. ($2,000) Time Bomb - A explosive with a large radius that the player can set down and put a timer on it. the minimum time is 30 seconds and max is 5 minutes. ( can be countered by adding a defuser to the law enforcement inventory) ($50,000) Suicide Vest - as the name implies, a vest with explosives that if the person left-clicks, can set off a bomb with a radius similar to a grenade but the damage output should be about 100 max and 5 minimum. ($50,000). ISIS Leader: (Level 25) As the ISIS Leader, the ISIS members have to follow the players orders. The Leader can make money by selling the same items as the ISIS members BUT, ISIS Leaders are the only ones who can deliver products by shipment. Hope this is taken to some consideration and hope you all have a good day! Sincerely, your fellow Arab

Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] I have legitimate years of experience playing on this community and I know very well how to be a top tier staff member. I had just quit my job so I will be able to be an active staff member on the Dark RP server almost all day everyday excluding the time that I take to stream and hangout with my friends on weekends. From when I started when I was 16 years old, I have grown on this community and made long time friends with people who I can trust and rely on and even today I'm meeting new people. In my breaks around being on the server I've realized how it's like to be an adult and that has definitely made me a better person to myself and others. I find it in my best interest to genuinely help the server again. I want it to grow and flourish as the community as a whole advances as more of a family. My only issue I've ever had other than a few minge moments is the fact that I tend to beef with others a lot. I will do my best to stay out of dramatic situations and handle things like a true staff member should. I aim to be a leader to my peers and those who wish to play on the server. My overall goal is to take part in shaping the server into a better place for new and old players. I have lots of time to dedicate to the server so that I can become an outstanding role model for players and staff. When I was first staff, I was demoted because I was talking back to one of the previous managers when I should have just kept my mouth shut. The second time I staffed, I had made it all the way to Senior Admin but I decided to resign because there was a lot of toxicity that I was overwhelmed with and it made me feel really insecure being on the server and around the people who sought to have me banned, punished, etc. The third time I was staff, I think I made it to Lead Moderator but I wanted to get a job and move on with my life to becoming an adult since I was already 18 years old. I kept my job for about four months before I decided that I wanted to pursue my hobby and turn it into my career. I want to be an online influencer through streaming, videos, etc. I've been well aware for years that it's very hard and I may not ever reach my dreams but I am determined and regardless of the end results, this is the path that I want to take. With that being said, I plan to be streaming Garry's Mod while I am staffing as not only it will make it easier to record sits but it will also benefit me personally. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details I haven't been banned on this server for anything serious. I think I have one NITRP ban. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: June 1st 2019 (Accepted) | June 21st 2019 (Denied) | August 24th 2019 (Accepted) | July 25th 2020 (Accepted) How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 24/7 If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?

[minimum 2 paragraphs] I want to help out this community to the fullest. Many people break rules and the staff on this server are being overloaded. I think if I have a chance to join the staff team I can help every player and make sure there experience isn't ruined. This server is very fun to play on and I would love to be a staff member. also plan on benefiting the server by playing during times where staff is not on but is needed heavily, provided that GG is a very big server and gets (sometimes) lots of players due to it's popularity, not all staff is able to be on all the times in which I can partake in helping the playerbase and making a stronger bond with the players of GG. I take staffing very serious I think its one of the most key component on having fun on the server if the staff team doing a good job then players will be happy. I should be accepted to the staff team because I know the rules quite a bit due to the fact I have been here for quite a while. I’ve been on the server for 2000 Hours now so I know pretty much every loophole that people try to use to get themselves out of rule-breaking. I’m a very charismatic person who can get along with just about anyone with little to no issues, but I'm also strict and willing to do the work as soon as it's needed to be done. I’m an intelligent person who understands that sometimes during some situations it wasn't meant to be done the way it was done and that sometimes it really is an accident. I can record just about any incident that happens whether it be staff sit or out in the field so when it comes to needing to pass up or if there is any report against how I handled it then normally I have evidence of everything that happens as long as it is in-game. Have you ever been banned or punished on GG MRP? If so, Include details Mass rdm Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 5-6 hours per day

+1, past staff member who was fucking amazing, a nice guy, never had any major issues with him, and he is a huge old player who is beloved by the player base now and back then. Should of asked me for a referral. Good luck!

I've played on the server for a while, and not being given a sit and a chance to explain myself isn't exactly fair. I didn't mean to hurt or make anyone upset.

I appreciate it, I'm sorry for causing anyone any issues! Just make sure you take sits because I was a lil upset. Both SSGT WeeWoo and Naas were there, those are the only two I remember.

Honestly, app is really weak, but with the activity and toxicity-free mood you have; I give you a +1

+1 Brick go brrr

-1 I don't think its a good idea because their would be more RDMs than ever and it would be bad

Talk to me nice look...... Woo back baby

Vast improvement from first application. I say a +1 is fitting for him. Good luck and hope you do well.

+1 He is always on and I he understands the rules and isn't Toxic.

Neutral Many non toxic interactions with you in-game, however you paragraphs need a major buff. Fix those, and based off the the fixes and community feedback, I may change my response to a +1. Edit: Fixed +1

-1 I havent really seen you on, Nor have I had any interactions with you, I think you need to make yourself a little bit more known, Best way I did that was built cool stuff as a hobo, interacted with many players in POSITVE ways. Your paragraphs are good now, but until I see you more active imma keep my answer the same

You're a vet player, you should know the rules. -1

Disclaimer: I wanna start by saying that, over the course of time I've been back on the server I have been very vocal about my lack of desire to be staff. However, things are at a point right now where we need experience on the staff team, we need dedicated players, and overall we need to work together as a community to get over the hurdles we've been tripping over as of late. This is not a thread to push myself into a position of power, I've done my best to abstain from that kind of shit since I've been back. Despite what I said at the very start of this disclaimer, I want to help. I love this server, I love this community.

TS/Mic?: Yes Record?: yes Referrals: Python Past experience: Manager, here on GGMRP I'll be honest when I say this, there really isn't much I can put here that wouldn't come off as the generic "I will always be active! I will be unbiased! I will uphold the rules of the server!". I'll also be honest when I say, I know I don't have the best rep from my time as Manager. I think I give myself a harder time than anyone (with the exception of Garnet) about my time, and actions when I was in that position. I've put a lot into this server though. I've dedicated a lot of time, I've gotten to know some of the most chill people I've ever met here, I went through the entire experience as a staff member at one point. I've put a lot of time into reforming now. I've worked my ass off to get to a point where I can get along with the community, I've rebuilt bridges with people I burnt in the past, and most importantly I have learned a lot. I've spent a lot of time listening to what players want, and how they feel about the direction things are going in. I'm a vocal member of the community and I'm not afraid to give my opinion on anything that comes up. Lastly i'm gonna say, I know this community well. I know the staff members, I know how to handle situations in a mature manner as a staff member, and I will always put the good of this community before any one individual person. banned? punished?: Nope. Previous apps?: Oct 7, 2019 Milton's Staff Application - Denied - Garnet Gaming (Gildarts moved it to denied for some dumb reason, but I was accepted by draggy) Time to contribute?: I work graveyard at a gas station about 4 days a week, this gives me time to be online during the day when people are actually on the server, and at work when it is dead. So I've got time.

Accepted I know you mean well, and you have previously made it to manager, but let your own head get to you. This time around I really hope we can work more closely together and get this community fixed up, because I'm sure that's why you're applying here today. Other than that, I've always enjoyed talking to you (minus our last conversation) and we seem to mesh well.

So Im gonna get like ton of shit post but that’s fine. What I want to say is a simple fact ozzy have done a lot to help MRP since he came back as a manager and now SA he have made this server better and better in time. If it’s banning cheaters to adding new content. So I suggest to you all before you say shit about ozzy cuz some guy I never heard of made a report on him let’s see ozzys side first.
