Hello! Have you ever been walking outside of your base for war and was killed by an Afghan immediately? Then congratulations! For you were just basecamped. Although it may seem frustrating, altering your playstyle may make basecamping a waste of time for the other side, and in this module, you will be taught how to avoid and counter the basecampers. Outline: Chapter One: Tips and Tricks in gameplay Chapter Two: How to handle basecamping Chapter Three: A visual Showing (US Base) Chapter Four: What if you do not have a sniper? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter One: Tips and Tricks in gameplay Introduction: Although it may not seem important, tweaking various habits in your gameplay can make it more difficult for you to be sniped while on your way to the objective. 1. First, do not run in a straight line to the objective. Most obviously, if you are predictable, it will be easier to snipe you, which also means basecamping. So while you are leaving base, strafe (run zig-zag) and/or run periodically to make your movement unpredictable, and harder to kill. 2. Secondly, listen carefully to the shots around you. If you hear gunshots, it means a fight is happening, if you are not in combat and you cannot account for the gunfire, that means it might be an Afghan. 3. Then, utilize callouts in your country’s radio or teamspeak channels. Although this may be done already, it is imperative that the positions of snipers are called out for other soldiers to account for. An informed soldier is an advantaged soldier. 4. Lastly, if you cannot achieve a fair fight against an opponent, then find another way to equalize the chances of yourself winning the engagement. For example, an enemy sniper has positioned himself on a hill and is headglitching, while you are in the open. The best course of action is to disengage and break line of sight as soon as possible and attempt to equalize the chances of winning the engagement. (In other words, if someone is headglitching, don’t try outsniping them, it generally does not work). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter Two: How to handle basecamping Introduction: Now that you have a sufficient grasp on a way to improve your game, we can address the topic: basecamping. If you die near your base and you are unaware of where you were shot from, try to think like this: 1. First, think of any possible locations you were shot from. Any possible headglitch spots, your blindspots (behind you), and make a decision. Either check out the area where the possible basecamper is and kill them, or avoid the area altogether and flank past it to the objective. 2. If you decide to return to the area and attempt to kill the basecamper, first, inform your team in radio or teamspeak, that an enemy is near your base and to look out. Then, attempt to take another route than the one previously, while making your way to the area the basecamper is in. 3. If there is nobody in the area, then you may push forward to the objective. If there is a basecamper, take them out. 4. If you decide to avoid the area, you can leave through the other gate in your base and move through the Embassy instead. Although this may be risky for the other side moving through, it’s better than dying in the same spot over and over again. 5. A third option that some may choose: which is to snipe the basecampers from your walls/towers. This method may work if the basecamper is within render distance of your base. Generally, this should be used as a last resort, but is still a valid option. 6.Another decision could be to spawn a car and use that car to flank around the basecampers using said car. It would make flanking faster, but is risky if another enemy sees the vehicle, as you can be killed inside the car. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Three: A visual Showing (US Base) Introduction: Now that various options to counter basecamping are established, a visual representation of the map (Delta V1, I do not have V2) may help. As this is the US edition, the map will show the spots near US Base. 1. General Spots to look for basecampers (marked by red X’s) In this map, these 6 spots are the main spots surrounding US Base that can be used to basecamp. However, there may be spots outside of render distance that can be used. Very rarely, however, are all spots covered by Afghan Forces, so the US have room to flank, depending on the objective. 2. Shipment Only wars In shipment only wars, these three spots (generally) are utilized by Afghan Forces to basecamp US and prevent them from getting to objective. The Orange and Green X’s can be countered by leaving South gate and flanking the snipers. While the purple X can be countered by hugging the north wall (edge of the map) and killing them once they are in your LOS closer to shipment. Shown below are various routes to take if one does not work: The green is generally the safest and the red is the most dangerous (for reaching the objective). If you have a sniper (and a CQC weapon), then you have the option of following the red path to prevent Afghan Forces from pushing up to basecamp. 3. Silo Only Wars These are the spots (generally) that basecampers are, these spots can be countered by flanking and moving around. The green route can be achieved by jumping out of the tower in the southeast corner of the US Base. If the green and orange route do not work, then flank using the red route, which although is risky, can receive a good angle of basecampers from EMB and can even make it to Silo through that area. 3. Embassy Only Wars These spots are commonly used by Afghan Forces to basecamp. However, Embassy wars have the most variety in terms of flanking around these spots. The two green routes can be used to prevent Afghan Forces from basecamping the US base. The Embassy bridge has a red X on it, do not run on the EMB bridge to try to get to the Embassy, you are exposed to fire without cover, while the enemy does. If Afghan are in different spots than outlined above, then flank according to their spot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Four: What if you do not have a sniper? Introduction: Although many players have access to a sniper (donator or faction), some players do not. In this chapter, there will be an outline on possible decisions to make, to maximize the possibility of winning. 1. First, it’s imperative that you attempt to run from cover to cover and pick your fights. Generally, attempt to close the distance between you and your enemy (get into CQC fights). 2. If you are too far from a sniper, then flank around and catch them off guard. 3. If all else fails, then avoid the basecamper altogether, press U and call it out in US radio and continue to the objective. Conclusion: Congratulations, you now have the skills and tools to defend yourself against basecamping from the Afghan Forces. The next edition for the Afghan Forces will be written to create an environment where baecamping becomes a bad strategy during war.

(include any proof): Man, it was crazy. I hop in and start walking, and randomly my gun starts shooting. I said "What is going on here?" As like, 5 people died. I tried running away but my gun kept shooting people and I couldnt stop its bullets. Once they left the gun, they traveled into the bodies of people in front of me, and I just asked...what is going on here? I tried talking to Ghostieee about it but he randomly died for no reason, so in an effort to find someone to tell me whats going on, I ensured everyone respawned so I can ask them at spawn just what the heck is going on here? Then thats when the first tragedy happened. I died bro. So I respawned to ask what the heck happened but a few or alot of people died some more and to be honest, I did too. As a victim of dying, I think I should be unbanned as I wasnt the only one dying, and was just trying to find out what was going on.Why should your ban be removed?: Just trying to figure out what the heck was going on around there?

Format In-game name: Lame [TSFU LtColonel Abdul Bari] Age: 23 SteamID : STEAM_0:1:195107330 Warns: 1 base-camping, 1 Crouch-Jumping Time zone: CST Playtime? : 2284:41:03. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes, Medal Referral(s): Brian Past experiences as a Game Master: None Why should we choose you over other applicants? I should be chosen before any other applicants because I have been apart countless events on the server dating back to 2018. I’m very active on the server and I put a lot of effort into what I'm doing for my faction and the people within. I’m somewhat well known on both AFG and US for not being a minge or anything too bad that I'm aware of. Another reason that I should be selected for GM is because I'm on the server later than everyone else, somewhere between 11pm-4am CST. Not a lot of people are playing during these times but for the people that are on dont have the same satisfaction of playing war or being a part of tryouts. If I were to be selected to become GM, I would of course keep the same energy of the 4p-8p vibes that war brings to the server. Keep the people interested in playing and enjoying the server. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? No How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: About 4-5 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: The role of a GM is to keep the players happy by having fun, keeping their attention during interesting RP, and motivating them to play more frequently. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I would just like to keep the server pop high during low pop times such as when I'm online after work. IF i can help keep people on during the low pop times, we can still have wars that actually mean something. Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas designed for only your side to take part in: Kill house event, house owner has 1000 HP and can only use a knife to fend off invaders. Invaders have normal HP, unlimited lives, and can use whatever weapons they wish. [mainly for fun, PVP, Memes] Comms raid. Soldiers will head to Comms to crack into the US FOB’s radio communications and hijack them for better raid outcomes. A small NPC Squad holds Comms so AFG need to attack the building. Once they clear the building, a platoon of NPC’s are just outside. AFG heavily outnumbered but well defended, should keep NPC’s far enough to crack the Radio signals and wipe out the platoon. Roll +50 twice then -50 once to crack the radio signal, If they roll an exact 50 instant crack. From this point I would let the players do what they seem fit for RP, free thinking, and making it more immersive. [PVE, teamwork, luck] Convoy, AFG needs to patrol around the US base for any missing shipments headed to the US FOB. AFG needs to look for anything such as money, guns, vehicles, food or water or just basic supplies. A large cargo truck makes its way to the US FOB and the AFG needs to spot the truck, either set up an ambush or hijack it before it makes it to the US FOB. [skill based] Vega operatives are pinned down in a crashed helicopter site and need AFG support. Vega has US SOC information and needs extraction before the unknown forces clear the crash site and can keep the information to themselves. A small squad made up of both AFG base faction and AFG SOC make their way to the crash site and prepare to both collect the Vega members inside with the intel. 2 is to keep the unknown forces back long enough to keep the LZ clear for a helicopter to extract both the Vega crew as well as the makeshift AFG rescue squad. Failed assassination attempt on Taliban officer. Taliban officer after war takes his Taliban members to Taliban bunks for promotion. Little do they know there is a sniper in the watchtower to the north waiting to see the officer. As the officer is promoting his people, the sniper shoots a SGT-SFC member of the Taliban. Base code changes to red and the sniper is followed by the Taliban to the tunnels where there are roughly 20 civilians begging for water and food. Hoping to arrest/kidnap the assassin, he had a car at the end of the tunnel. The assassin takes his leave and the Taliban soldiers now need to find out who this individual is. [PVE, Skill, “Random”, Luck] 50/50 the catch/fail to catch the assassin. Please list and explain 3 unique global event idea designed for the entire server to take part in: Court Case : United Nations vs Taliban just another day in court where the UN makes claims of improper treatment to AFG soldiers both in the field or at base. The Marshal has had enough of the UN and takes the UN officials hostage. AFG wants the UN officials to drop all charges and other war crime related cases dismissed. Will the US High command take action or will there be some sort of plea deal for the safety of the UN officials. US forces will intervene and extract the UN officials safely. The US High command will choose how they want to deal with this information and plan accordingly. AFG will interrogate the UN officials for 15 minutes to extract any and all information that pertains to any war crimes that the UN knows about. They will torture the officials if needed. After 15 minutes, if the US does not have UN officials, They will be executed. If the US successfully extracts the officials back to the US FOB, they will have told the AFG nothing and be sent back to the European Embassy for medical treatment and safe passage back to the United States.[RP, PVP, decision making, execution of plan] GRU members welcome the AFG forces to protect the Comms building so GRU can hack into the US CO roster for classified US officer information. Need to fend off the US attack to obtain the information. The US are given 1 helicopter and 3 cars to fast track the extraction of information back to the US FOB. Again this is 50/50 depending on skill and luck so if the AFG forces hold down coms for 10 minutes without losing all life then they need to extract the info back to the AFG FOB. US needs to clear the building, get the information back to the US FOB and kill the terminal that was used to access the information to prevent further use.[2 life AFG unlimited lives US] [PVP, RP, skill] A General of the Taliban army’s convoy had crashed by an unknown US SOC squad and is in need of a rescue. All AFG forces need to reclaim the General before he gets kidnaped by the US Forces. A hand selected squad is sent with whatever resources they have remaining from training and need to get to the crash site. If the squad makes it to the crash site and exfils the team that crashed within 5 minutes, they will receive little to no resistance. 5-10 minutes they will see light to medium resistance at both the crash site and on the extraction. 10+ minutes will be a hard fight to the crash site with a 50/50 chance of the General kidnapped/stuck in the vehicle hurt badly. If kidnapped they need to gather whatever resources are left from the site and RTB. If the General is still there, they need to provide medical treatment so he can be mobile. 1.5 min heal time and Extraction will be difficult. [PVP, Skill] Thanks for taking the time to read this.

This is definitely an unpopular opinion but I don’t believe there should be a max limit for lotteries as it is. People will only afford to gamble what they can afford to lose, if someone wants to gamble their money they will find a way to do it wether it be a hobo casino or the lottery. However for high rollers and multi millionaires on the server a 150k lotto is very insignificant and a lot of people would love to risk/reward more money. Changing the max limit of the lottery would also not be game breaking, for every person who would win 5 million on a lottery would also equally result in 9 others losing 500k which would keep the economy stable. I think 500k max is a fair number that would keep high rollers happy and give people with very little money a chance to win big.

Congratulations to everyone who's worked hard this month to keep our favourite server as awesome as ever A big well done to our MVP's X12, Wub, and Lala Lady; you've got some crazy sit counts, thank you for your hard work! To everyone else, thank you all for your time and dedication in keeping Garnet DarkRP the best server around. When we all pull together and do our bit, we can really make an enormous difference in ensuring people have a great time here, and hopefully many more to come. If you didn't quite meet the mark, you know what you need to do to change that and we're always happy to help with guidance and advice, DM's are always open. Here's to another month, cheers

Hey buddy, I figured I would follow up to your post. Having all 18+ staff would definitely be a smart move, however, with age comes IRL commitments, and our older staff unfortunately do not have nearly as much time to dedicate to our servers. I would argue somebody who is older than 15 is perfectly capable of 99.9% of the staffing duties, whereas this situation is an EXTREME rarity. Our management team is currently composed of ALL adults thankfully, so we are all able to work together effectively in dealing with tough situations. I appreciate you for making this comment

My good sir Account responsiblity is your job, the fact that you gave your friend access to your account and he proceded to get you banned not once but TWICE is reason alone you cant be trusted with being on the staff team for clear lack of good judgement, Secondly you got banned for racism which is not fucking good at all. You are Immature and I do not thing you should be staff for a long long while Hard -1 which wont be changing.

Absolutely not, you failed to admit in the app the multiple bans that you have, me myself had to ban you twice before including 1 ban for racism, that behavior can't be welcomed into the staff team.

If anyone ever feels unsafe due to someone in our community please reach out in whichever way you prefer. All reports will be taken very seriously and appropriate action will be taken after an investigation. I'm always available to be privately messaged here on Garnet forums, other avenues for such reports are Discord and Steam. Discord: proggy#5230 (You can find me at the top of Garnet Discord) Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/id/proggy_/

So is the fact you made this account to anonymously make this post, while also checking back periodically to see if your post was accepted

-1 as a climb swep ape, I disagree and will cry to the admins if this is accepted

I decided to stay because I value old style DarkRP were RP actually matters. I really have a strong dislike for other RP servers that have these anime characters flying around with lightsabers and bases that are so insane that you have no chance in hell raiding it. Everytime I get on garnets DarkRP there’s always a good balance between civilian jobs like gun dealer, cinema owner and criminal classes like thief and meth manufacturer. There’s always something going on if you just walk around the map, back alley deals happening or a random gun shop in the middle of no where that actually has a lot of customers. For these reasons and many more THIS is why I stayed in this community and will continue to stay and be staff here till garnet closes down shop.

Denied level system is in place for such things
