Going to keep it simple, I've been extremely busy recently to the point I can't really get on the server or even discord that much anymore which has resulted in a mess as the leadership team relied on my contact to tell them what to do so I've pushed them to start leading themself which I hope to see if I do return. I've decided to resign completely from the community with the possibility of returning if I become less busy and want to but that is looking unlikely. It's been great from first joining 8 years ago being staff multiple times throughout that time and obviously this time where I've been able to climb the ranks to the top. Thanks to everyone who supports the server and those that have supported me. Good luck to everyone else on what you're working on in life, feel free to message me on discord about anything

In-game name: StS Recon Age: 22 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:51503933 Warns: none. Timezone: PST Playtime?: 1500:21:10 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?] Merk Past experiences as staff: [Optional] Never been staff on Gmod. Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] I believe that increasing the number of staff members would greatly benefit the server by providing assistance to new players in understanding the rules in a fair manner. I am enthusiastic about guiding new players through any issues they may encounter and I have ample time available after work to ensure that the server does not become overwhelmed with disruptive behavior such as prop blocking or random deathmatching (RDMing). My positive experiences with the administrators when I first played on Garnet have inspired me to contribute to the community and support both new and experienced players. I have a deep passion for DarkRP, which began at a young age when I would watch videos from various channels and became captivated by the gameplay. I have thoroughly familiarized myself with the server rules to ensure compliance whenever I play. Garnet Gaming provides a platform for making friends, engaging in roleplay, grinding for money and xp, and overall having an enjoyable experience. It would be disheartening to see the server deteriorate due to a lack of understanding of the rules, resulting in it becoming an anarchy server.That being said, I firmly believe that I would be a valuable addition to the staff team. I am committed to treating all players equally and without bias, as fairness is of utmost importance. In the event of any mishaps, my approach would be to educate and warn players about the rules they may have inadvertently broken, rather than immediately resorting to punishment. I never get mad at anyone for what they say or do ingame, since at the end of the day it's just a game. My primary goal is to contribute to the server's well-being and assist other staff members when the workload becomes overwhelming. I find great satisfaction in helping newcomers learn how to earn money, guiding them to safe base locations, and ensuring that new players feel welcome on the server. Ultimately, my aim is to prevent individuals who disregard the rules from negatively impacting the DarkRP experience on Garnet Gaming. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details Never. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: No. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: At least 4-6 hours a day. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? MMA, BMX, spending time with family, drawing, and playing with my dog or else she destroys my shoes. Did you read the staff rules?: StS Recon

This was very unexpected ngl. Thank you Cyber for the work you've put into the server, l personally enjoyed the creative new events you would host like the race car event that would give the server something fresh for players to enjoy. It's clear that you care a lot about the server and have been an active supporting member for a long time. I appreciate the effort and time you spent and although it sucks to see you go, you'll always be a great role model for staff and players alike to look up to.

Greetings everyone, I hope this message finds you well. It pains me to do this, but I will be stepping down from my moderator position on the Garnet DarkRP staff team. I know, I know. I am a pillar of this community and many of you will ask " BUT DEPOT, WHY? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?" This comes as recent events have come to light. The constant racism, sexual harassment, and discrimination I have endured have had lasting effects on my mental ,emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health. I would like to be able to play this server once again as a no-mic who RDMs and builds. I've been a moderator for many reddit forums and discord servers, but joining the staff team on Garnet DarkRP has been my downfall. Never again. One scandalous event right after the other. I have also done my own investigating and have found damning evidence that can place several individuals in prison for a very long time. I won't @ anyone, but you know who you are, scum. But I digress. I have had my fair share of fun on the staff team, but my time as a moderator has come to an end. Farewell. @Chrisrid Thank you for being a great mentor. I never forgot that talk you had with me and bigchavez. You were right, it all makes sense now. I have been enlightened. Edit: Shiiiiit, i guess i made this post the day I found out I gotta pay 4K in child support. Got drunk af and popped some acid. Just an fyi, I already reported the crypto pump-n-dump scammers to the irs, so no worries there. They’ll get what’s coming to them soon enough. As for me resigning? I am rescinding my resignation. I don’t see a “no takesy backsies” rule, so I’m back. My birthday is in 2 days by the way

gonna have to make a 1 year anniversary post lmaooo

Description: I propose we add ATM entities around the map that are able to be "broke into". To break into them, maybe you have to use a lockpick of sorts, or ATM cracker; that takes a bit of time to crack. They will award the player some money (less than the bank, but more than 50k), but will also give the player a wanted status for doing so. Reasoning: It will add another way for thieves to get money, give police another way to arrest people, and will add another thing that players can do. Additional Information: Here is what they could look like, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=257767231

It's been a good run, but the way things have been going I just don't want to deal with it anymore. Too much fake shit, we're supposed to be a team working together, we were supposed to all be friends but it some how turned into a bunch of high school drama. Got to learn how to talk shit out, talk to people and hash it out instead of talking behind their back. If we learned how to do that those problems that arose last month would have been minuscule and handled right. Met a lot of great people from staffing here, I'd go through and mention everybody but then this would become a long book and I'm not leaving, just want to be able to play the game and enjoy myself when I do get on. 5093 sits since I started staffing again a year ago, it could've been more but I just lost the drive. Hoping the server can move past all the bullshit that has been happening, and continue thriving. Been here on and off since 2017, the only server I use to play back in the day that is still around today and that says something! Been great staffing with you guys, I appreciate all of y'all for real.

In-game name: C. Falmor Age: 23 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): 76561198799271700 Warns: 0 Timezone: Central Standard Time (CST) Playtime?: I attend All weekends but on weekdays I attend at late ours due to work. 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?] [Conway/Daph] long time ago. Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional] None but I am willing to learn and master the art of a GM. Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] The meaning for me to get GM is to improve the SIM's of the battalions I oversee as a Navy because that means I will create weekly Hostage scenarios and oversee my battalions deficientness and effectiveness with being on the battlefield with combat to even leadership skills during meaningful situations. Also as a NSC I will host a variety of security SIM's because I have been noticing a lack of security for the base, so to improve that is to create believable stories at a CG or any trooper will remember and will notice and had experience with any situation they are put in when comes to better security. I will also create little miny events around the base to make it more interesting with small impacts that could happen during the building of my story as a whole the decisions of people around the base will affect the final ending in the main story I am building. So, but not strong enough impacts that will affect the base or anybody in it but it will affect how the returning characters of my story will react to the base and its surroundings. The characters will either be scared, mad, untrusting or just rude depending on the past with will create a true experience for players. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? No, I never got in trouble on the server. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I will have a lot of time I will contribute to the role due to me overseeing 104th battalion. I will use GM every single week. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: I view gamemaster's like a writer of a movie the reason why I say that is because they are the ones who make the stories and make the server interesting because, without GM's the server would be a void of nothing with no entertainment and no story. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I could contribute because I have a keen eye for masterpieces when it comes to the right time and situation. what I mean is when I see a great time expand a story make it entertaining. I also pay attention to the community and their feedback if they don't like a story that I created that is a great thing for me, so I can improve it for the future and make it a entertaining masterpiece. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: My most creative idea is to host random believable miny events during the boring times when no on-worlds or off-worlds are happening so what I mean by that is I will create a believable world and lived in world by making my characters preform daily tasks but make it exciting at the same time. I will create Anaxes base into a livelier base so instead of just troops walking around being bored they see new and fascinating stuff to see and be involved in. 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] 1. [Navy GM Scenario]- Story Name: The Wolf Packs Effectiveness Actors: 1 Squad lead, 3 troopers, 5 Ai Droids, 1 Bounty Hunter, 1 Navy hostage Location: Athena Base Story: The story starts off with the squad lead getting a holo-message from a high official from the Republic informing the squad lead of a bounty hunter has taken captive of a High Navy member at Athena due to the CIS putting a high bounty on him. The squad lead gets 3 troopers to follow him to Athena when 104th get to Athena they notice they are out gunned and the only way to get the hostage out is to negotiate but first they take out the droids. When they find the bounty hunter, they notice the bounty hunter has rigged the whole base with explosives with innocent civilians inside. The squad lead has to make a choice either help the high navy official from not getting killed or save the civilians from not getting exploded. 2. [Navy GM Scenario]- Story Name: The Guards Willingness Actors: 1 NCO+ CG, 4 CG troopers, 1 undercover intruder Location Anaxes Base Story: The story starts off with CG getting a message from republic intelligence about an undercover mysterious person disguised as a trooper inside the base trying to get information on republic shipyard blueprints for republic capital ships. The goal of CG is to question and preform security measures at the same time the NCO+ CG must keep the troopers organized and on track as the goal, for the troopers is to provide security and question troopers around the base to try and find the undercover mysterious trooper. 3. [Mini Event Scenario]- Story Name: The Clumsy Mechanics Actors: 2 Republic mechanics Location: Anaxes Base Story: The story starts off with 2 mechanics being hired to come to Anaxes base to do mechanic work, but trooper find something a little off about the newly hired mechanics. The mechanics seem to not know how to do mechanic work and makes repairs but when they do the repairs make things a lot worse. When troopers are looking at the mechanics the do mechanic work but when there are no r looking at them, they steal stuff around the base to sell illegally to other sources. It is up to the troopers to notice their stuff has been missing and report it to the CG for proper investigation. 4. [Mini Event Scenario]- Story Name: The Long Day with Rocks Actors: 2 illegal Miners, 10 battle droids Ai Location: Crystal Cave Story: The story starts off with 2 miners hired from the CIS to collect cyber crystals for a new vehicle the CIS are building the cyber crystals power the vehicle so that's why the CIS need them. Navy sees a signal of CIS presence near Atlas and Athena navy tell troops to search the area to see why the CIS are there after troops arrive are under heavy fire they troops manage to clear out the CIS forces. When the CIS presence is no more the troops go into the cave and notice the 2 miners mining the cyber crystals, but the miners pretend to be innocent and act like slaves for the CIS so its up to the troopers to either take the miners in for questioning or put pity on the miners by letting them go. 5. [Mini Event Scenario]- Story Name: The Corrupt Wishes Actors: 1 Corrupt Planet Representative, 2 planetary guards Location: Anaxes Base Story: The story starts off with the planet's governor representative landing at Anaxes station Navy or high personal meet the representative at the MHB to welcome him to the base, but they don't know that the governor and his representatives are corrupted by both sides CIS and the Republic. The representative gives Navy a request from the planet's governor, the governor wants republic blueprints and a stockpile of weapons to assist them for a rebellion happening on the planet for more power in the government. If the navy refuses the governor, they will get weapons from the CIS base near Anaxes and give them more power within the government of the planet. So, it is up to the Navy and High personal to make a decision either go with the governor's request or refuse the governor's request and make it harder for the republic to work with the governor in the future.

Accepted The ability to color cosmetics would definitely add diversity to the cosmetic pool and allow players to have more unique outfits; I am unaware of the resource-intensity of this addition however; Your suggestion will be looked into for a possible addition should it be possible and not demanding for resources. Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion! (Be aware, this post does not mean your suggestion will make it into the game, rather it will be moved and sorted into a list to be worked on and possibly implemented in a future update.)

Accepted The mayor's wife needs more of a duty or task to perform to keep the role usable and entertaining; being able to defend the PD makes sense and does not seem to pose any threat to playability or increase PD raid difficulty. Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion! (Be aware, this post does not mean your suggestion will make it into the game, rather it will be moved and sorted into a list to be worked on and possibly implemented in a future update.)

I very much enjoyed your feelings about making Anaxes a livelier place. The ideas behind more Passive events are something we have been striving for. I want to see more responses but you have my +1

wowie! awesome!

This is actually crazy.. A true friend and mentor for me. Thanks for all you did cyber

Easy +1 from me. May have a bit of bias 'cuz we're clanmates but I base with you nearly every day I'm on and I've talked plenty with you. I think you have a level head and you seem very responsible, which I think is something the staff team will definitely need now that a lot of people are leaving and there are gaps to fill. Recon's one guy I will easily recommend, hope all goes well man!

yeah cause youre new

+1 could be fun

+1 after all the recent resignations we could use a staff member who knows what they’re doing. also u supervised verafly when she trained me

that still doesnt fix everything else

I forgot about that lol

+1 JAZZZZZZZZZZ

+1

+1 chill sts member and pretty good app

No way ur back staffing But hey we need staff so +1 and he was reliable back then

+1 For reasons above

+1 confirming my referral , need him on the staff team ASAP

Ain't no way he's back I don't even have to read it +1 (Also you could've asked me to be a referral) (Also also are you just applying every November to keep the streak going)

+1 good guy good app good referral

Nice update, I like the badge of shame for the offenders lol

i know him for a really long time matured really chill +1

+1, super nice would be great addition to the staff team

+1 solid app, and staff team is in need of active players.

good update congay

+1 good guy good paragraph’s good referrals

+1 yea I dont get how so many mfs hate you your a chill ass guy whos cool asf to be around take a fat fuckin +1

I like the application, but it's clear there's some fluff in there to get the word count up. Also there's a few typos but Overall it's a good application. Plus from my experience you're a pretty chill guy who's very active and friendly so +1

I hope all goes well with everything that you’re doing in life Eugene. Thank you for leading us and making this server what it is. You were amazing at what you did as you went above and beyond for all of us. Thank you for being my mentor aswell as a friend that I could always talk to and enjoy random games with. I’m not sure how the server itself will do without you but I hope we can make you proud and keep the server strong. Thank you Cyberian

Wow. It'll be very different to not see you around. You'll always be welcomed back and I hope everything goes well for you! Thank you for everything you did.

Denied The potential for this addon to distort textscreens and other entities may cause problems with players. It may be considered in the future if these minor issues can be resolved. Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion!

+1 I approve, and if he does do a bad I’ll make a video about it putting him on blast

Neutral +/- I haven't really sat down and had any conversations with him to know what he's like personally, however, I'm leaning towards a +1 based off of how I know him as a player. He's reclusive at times, mainly when he's with his group of friends, yet doesn't shy away with getting out into the server to see what's going on. He seems friendly and out going. I just don't know him well enough to say anything conclusive other than I know he follows the rules. As stated above, some very minor fluff in your application. I enjoyed reading it and wish you the best of luck on your travels. ~NDP

Accepted Due to lack of evidence on ChineseMan's side, I will be accepting your appeal. Thank you for taking the time to make this report. --------------------------------------------------- Please lock and move @Derpza @Merk

Now this is certainly a surprise. Trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks for everything my friend For believing in me and being a good person to talk to. I'm always a message away if you ever wish to do so.
