Overruled; Accepted This appears to be a grey area within the rules, it will likely be clarified at some point either way it is accepted. PS. Apologies for the previous response, I typed that up about a 2 hours ago and didn't hit post until just now when I didn't have access to the rest of the evidence.

Staff members SteamID (/id (name): STEAM_0:1:419873569 Date & Time of incident: 07:53 PM 12/30/2020 Timezone: CST Ban Reason: Mass RDM How long were you banned for?: 2 Weeks Proof of Ban: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/780505556481736754/794119039337234442/2020-12-31_02_24_53-Bans.png What happened? (include any proof): I was enforcing db rules on KillMePlease and apparently that's rdm if I don't claim, when even staff has footage of other staff enforcing db rules and they dont get banned, so he reports me and I get banned for 2 weeks like wtf Why should your ban be removed?: I did nothing wrong besides enforce rules I was told by don I could enforce This is the first ban appeal i have made so i get it if it's denied, but this ban was such bullshit

Took a little peek at WayBackMachine and got a little nostalgic, even though alot of stuff is missing 2 hours later, I realized I spent far too much time on this post, but it's ok. 2014-2015 | A TTT Server Back then GarnetGaming was literally a fun project I began working on because I was caught up in my High School classes and got tiresome of staffing other people's communities for various reasons. Initially, Garnet Gaming was a team of 3 admins GRINDING hardcore to get 15-20 players on. On billing dates I believe I had to pay roughly $15 for 30 server slots, at which point young me was nearly crying and on the verge of begging his parents for an allowance When you're in high school you'd just rather spend that money on video games, food, and dates. 2015-2016 | Introduction of DarkRP The TTT community continuously requested we expand into the DarkRP gamemode (at which point we would regularly hop onto existing servers anyways) and I was able to budget just enough to where I could allow myself to host two servers while saving up for my first year of college. 2016-2017| Introduction of MilitaryRP Right from week 1, DarkRP was at the very top of the category, and everytime somebody would donate for any sort of item, I would immediately re-invest. This netted us a properly made website, access to public (paid) addons, and a dedicated server machine that didn't get DDoS'd nearly as much. At this point, I feel as though more and more people took this community for more than a hobbyist project, but instead, another run-of-the-mill DarkRP server hosted by a kid who still his mother's credit card. Towards the end of the year a community by the name of UG shut down and I was begged to join the MilitaryRP category seeing as there were no stable servers left to join. I took the opportunity and purchased another dedicated server. Super late in 2016 we were also asked to hop on the SCP Breach band-wagon which was one of the most popular gamemodes for awhile, needless to say, if I could go back, I would smack myself. 2017-2018 | The Stagnant era Much of the same, the community didn't grow much during this period because we were ALL too busy playing PUBG, Fortnite, and learning to deal with depression. Looking through the images it also looks like during 2018 we had released PoliceRP, which did REALLY, winning the category over, that is until we suffered from continous DDoS attacks presumably from our competition. 2018-2020 | Hold on boys.. daddy's going to get some cigarettes During these two years alot of shit went downhill in my life and I think I was absent from the community for damn near 12 or 13 months out of the two years. This period netted us roughly 120 players at peak between both DarkRP and MilitaryRP with very rare updates. Prior to these pretty unfortunate life events taking place (which some may know, simultaneously included a death and a nasty break up), I had purchased 2 server machines to utilize for expansion into the game Rust. Needless to say they went entirely unused and cost a fortune to keep up, so 2018 was the only year where GarnetGaming declared a loss when filing for taxes . On and off we had discussions of whether or not it was time to shut down the community, and to be honest, I'm glad we ended up choosing against it. 2020-2021 | A comeback? At the beginning of 2020 I made it clear on the forums that I intend on making a full return to the server and try to maintain my own mental health the best I can through balance. The community unfortunately had to see a string of some really personal posts from me, however there were always met with support. Thankfully, this year I was able to come across and recruit some solid people to assist me in running the community, such as Proggy, and all the servers across the board received more frequent and effective updates via the use of what we called "Update Sheets". A bi-monthly document that each server's managerial team is expected to post with ideas for new content. Shortly after this, the COVID-19 pandemic began, shutting down US states in mid-March, when myself and most all the server's management teams came together and started really grinding out those updates and throwing around ideas. Within half a year into 2020, we had effectively gone from a community who peaked at 200 players for 4-5 years, to a community whos playerbase generally did not dip underneath 300 at any point of the night. Moving into 2021 I just really hope we can finally break the 2,000 concurrent players milestone that has been making me upset for the past month The most players online was on December 30th, 2020 1:10 AM EST with 1682/2863 players on our servers! Thank you everybody who's stuck around for the ride, I get extremely excited when I come across the name of a player who's been around since 2014, which is incredibly rare, but we still have a few veteran players from the years 2016 and 2017. PS After reviewing some of these screenshots, I most definitely feel like re-formatting our forums like the old days to allow for some more misc forums, IE: Rant/Shitpost Central.

you where banned because you where enforcing the KOS on a non claimed area https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2343844691 those where the adverts at the time calling RU to DB. there isn't even "3 rules apply"

In-game name: Jack JJ Age: 15 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:70210533 Warns: 0 Timezone: EST Playtime?: | Jack JJ has played for 684:33:35. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): Grand Daddy Stalin Past experiences as staff: I have staffed on this server before. I was able to achieve the rank of an L. Mod before I decided to take a year-long break from playing this server. Why should we choose you over other applicants?: I should be chosen over other applicants because I have experience as staff on this server, I'm very active in this server's community, I understand the community, and I have a lot of patience and maturity. I can also be fun to hang around with and talk to as long as it's the right time for joking around. Although I wasn't a staff member for very long, I still have the experience and know what it's like to be a staff member. I know how to work the menus, how to deal with people, and most importantly, how to hear both sides of a story. I play this server almost every day, so I have a very good understanding towards the community and how it works, as well as how I should handle it when things become rough. I also have a lot of patience and maturity when the time is right. I know a lot of people seem to think I'm that immature, annoying kid, but I can assure you that I'm not. If you ever become friends with me or see me in a serious situation, you'd know that I listen very well and let other people speak as well as act mature and responsible. I'm also very unbiased. Although I respect my friends, I will punish them if they're in the wrong. I make music in real life as a hobby which has taught me persistence. At first, I wasn't very good at making music and I wanted to give up at some points, but now, with almost two years of experience, I'd say I'm skilled enough to make a song which lands on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Obviously, this all comes down to opinion and you'd probably disagree with me, but my point is that even if being a staff member is stressful and difficult, no matter how much I will want to give up, I will keep going and I will become an even greater staff member by doing that. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: I've only been banned on this server for owning a weapon larger than a pistol as a hobo lord + LTAP. Other than that, I've never been banned before. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: I've made three applications prior to this one on November 5th (Denied), August 12th, 2019 (Accepted), and July 30th 2019 (Denied) How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Weekdays: 5PM-1AM Weekends: 5PM-3AM If there's a holiday and I don't have school, I can be on for the same amount of time as I can for weekends. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: I have online school every weekday, but I can usually finish all my work for the day by 3PM. Did you read the staff rules?: Jack JJ

Denied Enforcing claims is allowed given the circumstance are appropriate but at the time the officer(stewtopia) only called RU to DB without KOS to unwanted/ 3 rules applied on his advert which means killing a person over and over should not be allowed. The more appropriate way to dealt with this should have been telling the officer who was calling DB to change the advert and give the minge person 15 secs to either leave the DB or stop any wrong doings at the time before killing that person. @Ozzy or @Zachman Please move to denied. Thank You.

The area wasn't claimed By you or anyone in that matter. I had observed what was going on. This was most likely targeted toward KillMePlease in general. As I have not discussed the situation with him because I'm not staff. But, I'd advise you to make sure with the person who claimed the area that it is actually claimed. Yeah "apparently" of course it is. This wasn't a false ban so I suggest you move on and deal with 2 weeks as the Staff could've banned you Permanently because of VetMass. Though I sure that the staff also didn't accuse you of this because of your mistake of someone claiming the area. My Official take : -1 Just Deal With 2 weeks. [Edit] : Also, You are a PKN you should've know the rules first beforehand. Getting a high rank doesn't make you invincible to staff and the rules. Everyone is treated fairly.

+1 Great Overall Player. Very kind and would be a great fit for the team. Sorry I couldn't check your warns lol, it was broken at the time.

In-game name: SundayMalecAge: 15SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:94818680Warns: Recently I have 0 warns, overall I would have no clue without the menu but I would guess 2-3.Time zone: Central Standard TimePlaytime?: 701:41:11Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: [YES/NO] Yes I have access to TeamSpeak with a well working mic. I have only used TeamSpeak a few times so I will need some guidance with working it.Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] Yes, I record full sessions at all time while I play Garry's Mod. Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply]: AppleTechMan, Cyber Sword, Pacman Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] With over 700 hours on Garnet Gaming, I am very familiar with the rules of the server. I am a very patient person and would look at every side to the issue at hand to see what the best course of action is. I have been in limited sits for something that I have done and if it wasn't my fault it was most likely an accident. I play for many hours a day and devote 90% of my free time to the server. I love the community of the server and want to be there to help anyone that needs it. I am definitely not a biased person even if they are my closet friends on the server. I feel that I am decently known throughout the server, I have made many friends on the server in the time I've been playing. I am strong in the base building part of the server so I can enforce base rules more than anything. I can help new players build a base and get themselves started on the server. Garnet Gaming is the only Garry's Mod server that I play on. I have spent over $300 on the server so I am here to stay and hopefully become something better then a VIP. I have been in many sits that I have put against people to see how the staff handles the situation and what they do to make people better on the server. Overall I want to make Garnet a better place that everyone can come to and play and have a great time in their free time. I know the biggest thing about being a staff member is evidence. Therefore I would make sure to have good evidence for every situation that needs it. I full session record every Gmod session incase I need proof for a sit and I am always ready to show it. In all my time on the server I have very minimal warns and not a single ban. I believe that along with everyone else I should get a fair chance with becoming a staff member. Becoming staff will help boost my playing time and knowledge of the game. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: I have never been banned from a server for actually trying to play it, I might have been messing around with friends and gotten banned but we have all been there before. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: No, I have made no other applications besides this one. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I play for many hours a day (Around 4-5 at least) when I am not at work or at school. In two weeks I have had over 200 hours. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? I have a job at a restaurant as a cook and play baseball in the summer. Other than work, baseball and school I play gmod in my free time. Did you read the staff rules?: SundayMalec Thank you so much for reading my staff application, I will gladly take you're criticism to help me improve for my next application if I am denied.

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?] AJbedhead, Shin Past experiences as staff: [Optional] GG MRP Manager Senior Administrator for a Fivem server Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] From the time that I had spent on the server, I had been continuously having fun and enjoying the server. The people and every experience I have are amazing and It's been this way throughout every GG server I have played. I would really love to be a part of these experiences moving forward because it is truly one of the main reasons why I chose to stick with GG. With that being said, you should choose me over other applicants because of the experiences I had. I had learned a lot from staffing on the MRP server especially since I had made it all the way to manager. I was able to learn all of the commands and guidelines very well and I also make sure to follow every rule that is needed to be followed, and they stay followed. I know to always make sure to remain unbiased at all times no matter who the people in the situation are. I make sure the correct solution is always the outcome of those situations. I am also very mature and level-headed, I make sure to keep my cool even when in difficult situations. You should also accept me because of the qualities I uphold. I am always willing to help others whenever it is needed. I'll always go out of my way no matter what I am doing to help someone. Whenever there is a new player that needs help, whether it is helping make money and levels or just a simple “how to get out of third person?” I'll always make sure to help if i'm able to. One of the main things i've really noticed about the staff on DarkRP is how much they care about the players, and I believe I would be able to fit in with this well. I have found myself to be a friendly person who is easy to talk to. Others have told me that I am a good fun person to be around and I would love to bring that same energy to this server, keeping the player experience fun as well as helping people who need it. Sometimes on the server I see things that staff are unaware of like someone's base getting prop blocked and since the person's new they wouldn't know what to do and I'll help by letting a staff member know. With all of this out of the way the experience that I have and the qualities I uphold will make me a good staff member and I will do everything I can to bring these qualities to the server and keep it a good fun place to be. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: I was banned in October 2019 on GG MRP for Mass which had been appealed. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes, December 18 2020 How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 5-6 hours a day, most likely more If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? Well, To start off I play football and I've been playing football all my life and I really have alove for the sport im gonna be going to college to play, I also make hip hop and trap beats. I also like to work on my shit box of a car. Did you read the staff rules?: D Rose FUBAR

In-game name: Papiraqi Age: 18 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:90791348 Warns: 1 Timezone: CST Playtime?: 107:21:09 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?] Radio Will, TLG Omni, lostie FUBAR Past experiences as staff: [Optional] NO Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] There are some reasons why you should choose my application over others. But the main reason is my work ethic and my determination to do my job right. I was raised from an immigrant household. My father was a refugee during the reign of Saddam Hussein and my mother is a refugee from the Iran/Iraqi war. I was raised to follow rules and how to stay away from trouble. But, I was also raised to know how to deal with certain situations such as arguments and feuds. I was taught to be good at my job and learn how to adapt to situations. My determination to know how to do my job and most importantly, be compassionate. Compassion is a big part of me and the way I live life as a whole. To know how to live life freely and to also know how to become stern is a big part of how life works. I was taught this after many failures at life. The most important thing is that I have some experience on enforcement if it comes to rule breaking in real life. I work as a gas station manager with my uncle and I have come across many people that have tried to steal or break my rules in the store. But, instead of freaking out and getting angry at the situation, I give a talk with the thief. Because sometimes, there have been events throughout that persons life that made them do what they did. It was possibly because of poverty, or abuse or even peer pressure. Learning where the person came from to cause these events is important to stop the bad situations in a community without having to give out big punishments. These are the reasons why you should choose my application over others. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details NO Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: NO How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Sunday - Tuesday: 6-7 hours Wednesday - Friday: after 9pm to 4am Saturday: 4pm - 12am or longer If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? none Did you read the staff rules? Papiraqi

These two sold it for my instantly. Huge support to the community AND records all his content which would make things significantly easier for everyone. With some training this is going to be an A+ staff if the job is done correctly. MEGA +1

+1 You have an absolutely amazing staff application. It references a lot of your experience, non-bias, and capabilities to run as a staff member. Your past experience makes you very understanding of the rules and dedicated. Along with the positive feedback, you at 100% getting this +1 from me. Good luck to you!

I feel like this is useless filler. Which deters me from giving a +1 for any reason. I read over the application a lot and it's just stuff about your job and life. I get how it can be applied to the game.. but not to the application at hand. This is my personal opinion and I would like to hear more about you in-game versus a couple of IRL situations. It sounds like you're trying to get sympathy and also trying to refer to a moral standpoint. I would want to focus more on what you can bring to the team and what skillset you would be equipped with other than the life story. I haven't met you myself. Now had this staff application been a bit better in my opinion, I'd be giving a +1. I will NOT give a -1 either because from the community feedback, it looks like you are held pretty high and people like you. So that makes it look pretty good in my eyes. Despite the weak application I will be staying Neutral.

+1 I played a bit with Allie. She is a nice person and I think she deserves a chance. She did recently come back but I remember when I did as well. She has put in the time so I don't think it's a bad idea given the community feedback.

Easy +1, Allie you have shown that you are very capable of dealing with the crazies we run into on server and have always leant a helping hand to those who ask for help. Those are qualities that make for great staff member. Good luck on the process and hope you do well!

It’s understandable thanks for taking the time to read through it

Last Edited 8/8/2023 General Rules Do not RDM (Random Deathmatch): Don’t shoot players without proper reason. Consensual RDM is NOT allowed. NLR (New Life Rule) is enforced. Do not use info from your past life unless it was shared in game through in game voice chat before your death. Do not Disrespect in Out of Character (OOC) Chat: Out of character applies to both OOC chat and administrative situations. This also means no harassment. Do not target other players in any OOC platform that is related to Garnet Gaming. Doing so will result in appropriate punishment at the discretion of staff. Do not FRP (FailRP): FailRP is the term applied to actions which are not realistic in a well roleplayed military scenario. Do not be a vigilante. Vigilantism: The situation in which one behaves as an administrator when a player has broken the rules and/or the situation in which one punishes another player for the rule(s) they broke. For example, do not RDM a player who is mass RDMing. Do not Spam: The use of OOC/Advert chat to display unwanted messages sent in bulk rather than one for every reasonable time period is unacceptable. Spamming crowbars as to be an annoyance to other players is also counted as spam and is unacceptable. Do not Impersonate: Changing your name to resemble that of another player in an attempt to act like them or hurt their reputation. Do not Misuse the Report System. Our /report system's sole use is to effectively communicate with staff and inform them of an issue. If one uses /report incorrectly, it may result in an impeded response time for our staff team's performance. Baiting someone to do something that is against the rules is prohibited. Do not Powergame. No forcing interactions or creating unrealistic scenarios to give yourself an advantage in RP. Do not Metagame. Do not use information gained out of character in RP. Exploiting of any kind is not permitted. This includes the server mechanics and addons. Any confusion on exploiting may be clarified by Executives. Players may not use client-sided addons in any way that gives them a competitive advantage. Simple gun skins are permitted, but editing sights to remove the metal but leave the reticle, editing models, or editing skins to make them stand out are not permitted. Loop holing or attempting to loophole a rule is prohibited. Do not VDM (Vehicle Deathmatch). Do not intentionally use your vehicle to kill other players. Jumping in front of a moving vehicle or baiting VDM is against the rules and will result in a FailRP warn to the person baiting VDM. You may not purposefully defibrillate the opposing force, unless they consent to the action. You are not allowed to use the OOC Lounge during war. Rules of Engagement US may KOS Afghanistan soldiers that have a weapon out unless they are on a claimed area or in base. Otherwise, they are treated as a civilian AFG may KOS any US outside of US base, but not in a claimed area or US base. AFG may not use snipers during peacetime unless cleared for an RP scenario or with T-Admin+ approval. Countering kidnapping If a friendly was killed near you or within LOS (Line Of Sight) and perceived in-character, then you can check nearby enemies for weapons used recently with /roll. If you roll higher than them, you can detain them and have them arrested. If they do not comply, then you can kill them. If an enemy was involved with or near someone that has been kidnapped, you may KOS the enemy. Miscellaneous Rules Denial of Tryout Officers of a given faction that are hosting tryouts hold every right to deny you from joining their faction. Their reasoning may be based on anything from your in-game statistics (K/D) as well as your attitude in 3rd party OOC networks. (Ex. Your attitude on the forums and Discord is childish, therefore you may not join MARSOC.) Sub-factions & Branches You may not use /jobs in order to create your own faction that sets yourself apart from other factions. The only factions you may join and be a part of are to be found on the F4 menu. Kidnapping You must be an O-1+ accompanied by at least 2 others in order to kidnap an enemy that is by themselves and not in a reasonable line of vision of their friendlies. You may only hold them for up to 15 minutes unless both parties, kidnapper and the kidnaped, come to an agreement. If you are being kidnapped, you are automatically stripped of weapons, stripped of communications, and are bound to the player kidnapping you. Factions may only hold 1 person kidnapped at a time. Sims Sims may only be called in a claimed area that is not either of the respective country bases. Sims may not be a Free For All and must have some semblance of training to them. Sims may not be continuous. This means that you may not return to a sim area and start firing again without "Sims Start" being called in advert chat again. Clan Tags You may not sport any Clan tags while on the server. Spam You may not spam crowbars, buttons, chat, voice, nor any other such sound or effect that may prove to be an annoyance to fellow players. Names All player must have a targetable name with at least 3 unique characters. No special characters. The only allowable characters in a name are the keys found on an English keyboard. A-Z, 0-9, punctuation marks, etc. Minge/Explicit RP Names or Jobs that would break server rules are also not allowed. AFG Loitering in-front of US Base US players can order AFG players away from US base using /advert. For example, US players can order these AFG to leave LOS of the base. If the AFG players do not comply, then they can be arrested. KOS should only be enforced if the AFG player does not make an attempt to follow the US player's order. An AFG player who lingers or delays the order can be KOS. A US player cannot give an unreasonable amount of time for the AFG player to comply with an order. For example, A US player gives an AFG player 5 seconds to leave LOS of US base - This is essentially RDM. Handcuffs Abuse of handcuffs will result in a FailRP warning. Self-damage Self damage is when you inflict 50 damage to yourself or die from your own weapons. Self Damage will result in a FailRP warn. The only exception to this rule is the use of a suicide bomb. Chat Rules Advert Misuse: The Advert chat may only be used to deliver important in-character information or server announcements. For example, raids and kidnaps. COMMS: Just like adverts, COMMS is an in-character form of communication. COMMS is only discernible to everybody unless specified using [RU] or [US]. This is essentially an in-character chat for RP purposes. OOC: Racist or derogatory terms in OOC are not tolerated. Keep toxicity and arguments to a minimum or take it to PMs. Should you fail to abide by any of these, you may find yourself being warned for toxicity, muted, or banned. Links in chat: Posting links that are not associated with the Garnet Forums, in-game material, and/or faction google documents in chat is strictly prohibited. Doing so will result in a warning for a non-GG link or a ban for advertisement should it be for another GMOD Community. Faction Rules and Information Self Promotion: Do not appoint yourself to a rank you have not earned. This could potentially result in a ban depending on the severity. Permission to Speak: PTS is a form of communication control used by your faction's leaders. When PTS is active, you may not speak without being granted permission to. KOS Zones/Claims: You may claim any area of the map as long as it is clear what you are claiming and it can be reasonably identified by other players. You may not claim your own or the enemy’s base. In addition, you may KOS said claimed area to those that are not in your faction or not authorized to be there and kill them should they intrude on your claim, friendly or not. A faction has a claim until they unclaim it or transfer the claim. You must allow people on the claim at least 10 seconds to leave the claim before killing them. People needing claims for tryouts take priority regardless of the order they were claimed. If two factions both need the location for tryouts, then the first advert called will be the valid claim. Faction Leaders: If you have been recently promoted to a faction leader position, you may appoint a Second-In-Command (2IC) rank, so long as there is availability and proper reasoning. Appointing a new faction leader must be approved by management. Appointing a new faction leader must be approved by management. Additionally, a new faction leader may appoint a 2LT if the faction desperately needs a larger officer corps. This must also be approved by management. Promotions Warrant Officer and Junior Officer Ranks (CWO's, WO's, BMI's, etc.) will have a minimum of 5 days between promotions. Officer promotions will have a minimum of 1 week between promotions. The 2IC position will only be open to those currently holding an active officer rank. If no officers are available, then a WO is eligible. Demotions: In order for a demotion to take place, you must have valid reasoning to back yourself up whether the reasoning is from in-character, or out-of-character. 3rd Party applications such as snapchat images/PMs over Instagram are not valid. Documents: The altering of the documents of your respective faction without permission/valid reasoning is strictly forbidden and may be considered sabotage. Doing so will result in a 1-week ban and permanent blacklist from said faction. Bias: You must treat all members of your faction equally regardless of their age or sex. If excessive bias behavior is picked up on, then it may result in your immediate demotion. All tryouts must be held to the same standard and the entire tryout must be the same for all applicants. The existing faction must test each applicant consistently in the exact same way. The tryout must have clear passing guidelines that are the same for every applicant. Competent tryout leaders may deny the right of someone to tryout for their faction if it is followed with logical and sound reasoning. If you are part of a SOC faction, then you may only play on your SOC faction's whitelists. The only exception is if you have been given permission to swap sides for war-balancing purposes. In this case, you will only be allowed to play on whitelists that do not have a cap limit. For example, you may only play on classes such as Fighter, Support, or Soldier. In order to officially resign and hand the faction to another player, Executives must be notified of the event and have to approve of the new leader. There is NO dual factioning allowed if you are at least the rank of O-1 in any faction. The only exception is with Executive approval. Discord: Abuse of any permissions granted by rank or position in an official MRP Discord will result in a 1-week ban. Raiding Rules Raiding All targets in an enemy base are fair game during a raid including those in buildings. The only thing not allowed is the intentional spawn camp of the enemy. You may not shoot into the enemy's bunks. A debrief must be called before conducting a raid on the opposing nation. There must be a debrief dismissed advert to be able to proceed with a raid. You must be O-1+ to call a raid and be accompanied by at least one other player. You must then advert the raid. Attackers have 1 life and defenders have unlimited lives. Defenders firing back while outside of the base are subject to being shot and killed. Defenders may not actively participate in the raid if they are not within render of the base when the raid is called. You may not participate in a raid as an attacker if you have not rendered in the base by the time of calling the raid. You may hide behind an object so long your client renders. In the event that you are out of render, you may serve as artillery in a raid so long you have access to rocket launchers, grenade launchers, or other such explosive type weapons. However, you may not proceed to join the gunfight at the base that is being raided should you do this. The cooldown per country is 15 minutes. Raids must not exceed 5 minutes in length. Each country's respective Tier 1 Faction may do a "Disguised Raid" every 20 minutes. They do NOT have to distinguish if the raid is disguised. A "Disguised Raid" also starts the cooldown of a typical raid for that country. You can NOT raid with PTE. Raid Rescue You may advert a raid rescue if you know your ally is kidnapped through RP and know their location through RP. There is a 5 minute raid rescue cooldown You may Raid Rescue at any location, including the oppositions base. During a Raid Rescue the kidnapped player may not be intentionally killed by either side. Vehicle Rules Car Usage To be allowed to spawn a car, you must fall into one of the following categories: SGT+ Transporting for tryouts Participating in war Destroying another player's vehicle during peacetime is punishable by a FailRP warn. Unless they are an enemy in the base or following the ROE. Wartime Rules Players may NOT swap for balance unless they are staff or get permission from staff. If no staff are on to rule, players may use their discretion to ensure a war is balanced. Spawn/Base Camping Killing any players located within their base will be considered Base Camping, and you may be warned and/or respawned. Should you find yourself within the enemy base during war, you will be warned for FailRP and promptly respawned. Pre-proxing is ONLY allowed on objectives. If there is a grey area or a pre-prox that ACCIDENTALLY falls just outside an objective, then there will be a verbal warning first. Do not Precap. All players must be within their respective base walls before the 2-minute mark until the war starts. Being outside your base walls after the 2-minute mark will result in a warning for Precap and a respawn. Blocking entrances of objectives during wartime is FailRP. This includes blocking entrances with cars. When the player base is below 60 players, warleads from each side may communicate in order to exclude objectives from an upcoming war. PTE Rules PTE can be granted by an O-1+ or the highest ranking individual. PTE is void upon death. If the individual pulls a weapon out (accidental or not), then they would have to leave the base immediately. Someone with PTE cannot participate in a raid. In addition, any enlisted can accept a PTE request. However, a higher ranking player can overrule the PTE and void it. You may NOT kidnap someone with PTE or for 15 seconds after their PTE ends. You can not get intel/information while PTE is given. PTE is considered out of character. Donator Faction Rules Donator Factions may choose any realistic rank structure. For example, Agent, SGT, Director, General, etc. are allowed while "Fleet Admiral of the Democratic Republic" is not. Donator Factions may have ranks that have O-1+ permissions. Donator Faction members, regardless of paygrade, do NOT have any power over other factions. They are always subordinate to the true factions. Enlisted ranks of base factions do not overrule an officer of a donor faction. In order to have the Donator Faction MOS, you MUST be on a Donator Faction whitelist. Military Police Rules MP cannot leave the base during war. If caught using an MP whitelist out of base during war, then it will be a warn for FailRP. MP can leave base for the following: Reported kidnaps Someone fleeing an arrest/warrant. Checkpoints Reported Malicious Activity of your own country. Issued Bail The amount of money for a bail can differ from different arrests. The money amounts must be in reasonable reach for people to pay it. If there are reports of a bail being too high, then executives will adjust the bail amount. Arresting The things that people can be arrested for should be public knowledge. If caught for something that is not listed, they can be warned for FailRP. Skirmish Rules During peacetime, players with the rank of SSG or above may challenge the opposing nation to a battle on an objective, occupation, or location using /advert. For example, "/advert US begins a skirmish at Trainyard!" Following the advert, the announced skirmish and close surrounding area will be KOS and players will compete for complete control over it for 10 minutes. In the case that the skirmish is centered around an occupation, players will compete for complete control until the occupation is capped. The cooldown for a skirmish is 5 minutes. You may not call a skirmish on a claimed area. A debrief must be called before a skirmish advert is announced and after one concludes. After the initial debrief, a debrief dismissed advert must be announced to proceed with the skirmish. The skirmish will either end or enter overtime when it concludes. You may not return after death to a skirmish after the 10 minutes are up. If members of both nations are on the objective at the end of 10 minutes, then the skirmish will continue until all players of one nation are dead. Staff discretion will be used in sits for potential RDM. Use common sense when estimating what the boundaries are of a skirmish and do not kill player unreasonably far from the skirmish location. To officially conclude a skirmish, the highest commanding officer of either nation must advert it. For example, "/advert US has wiped the AFG off of Trainyard!" Challenge Rules During peacetime, players with the rank of SSG or above may advert to challenge a claim of the opposing nation using /advert. For example, "/advert AFG challenges the Ranger's claim at Match!" A maximum party of 7 are allowed to challenge a claim. Challenges are one life for the attackers and the attackers must advert when the challenge is over. There is a 15 minute cooldown between challenging claims. The same claim may not be challenged twice.

We are currently getting a rework to a lot of weapons, later down the line the meta is probably gonna shift away from basecamping being the norm (hopefully). I think the best course for now is to wait for the weapons update, and see if the meta shifts away from basecamp with the changes to sniping.
