DarkRP - Mid-Month Staff Roster 15th of March, 2024 ______________________________________________________ In an attempt to fix some areas of our staff team structure that were lacking, we have decided to make some changes to the administration of our server & staff team divisions; You may have seen the following individuals out taking a larger part in our division activities, and doing extremely well in their pursuit, so please congratulate and support our new division leads as they settle into their new roles! ____________________________________ Human Resources Division: BusterBigNut - Administrator | Human Resources Division Director @busterbignut As I've watched you grow and develop, you've consistently raised the bar for what makes a staff member stand out; You have been exceptional at everything you do, from how informative & respectful you are in your trainings to how well you handle yourself in-game, you have not yet disappointed me, and I don't expect you to do so any time soon. For someone who bought staff with 10 hours on the server, I'd say I'm fairly well satisfied. Errol - Trial Administrator | Human Resources Assistant Division Director @Errol THE BIBLE HOBO, I first met you reading scriptures on the side of the road, and watched you create a name for yourself as one of our most proficient staff members and a good friend of many of us. I appreciate all you've done, and the team wouldn't be the same without you here, I've seen you provide a voice of reason, defuse situations, and help everyone reach a fair resolve. Thank you for all you've done, and I'm excited to see where we will go from here. _____________________________________ Chawhead - Administrator | Operators Division Director @Chawhead - One of our last OGs still on the team, I've seen you here and there around the server since way back in the day, you've never been a problem to me or any of the old administration; Your history, efficiency, and personality are all things that we look for in the role of an Administrator, and I have no doubt that you will be one of the best once again. ChrisRid - Lead Moderator | Operators Division Assistant Division Director @ChrisRid - My trainer for staff, and for HR, you've never disappointed us, even though your timezone may be wacky for the location of our server, you always find the time to help us out whenever we need you. You're a true inspiration in the way you conduct yourself with a constantly respectful attitude, and I have faith in you in everything you do! _____________________________________ StarPhantom - Trial Administrator | Game Masters Division Director @StarPhantom - The thing I've grown to respect about you is the way you draw people around yourself no matter what you're doing, and when people are in your presence, they always seem to have a good time. You're the perfect person to run the Game Masters division, and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us! StS GamingCarrot - Trial Administrator | Game Masters Division Assistant Division Director @GamingCarrot - Despite everything else you have going on in your life, you still find a way to give us the time you do, and always maintain a respectful and courteous attitude in everything you do on the server, and for the community. You picked up GM because you wanted to help out, and I know you'll do a great job at whatever you decide to do for the division. I wasn't going to do this at first, but your wilingness to help and make things better has earned you this promotion. EXTRA PROMOTION: Lika - Trial Administrator (missed his promo L) _____________________________________ Resignations & Removals King Mash - VIP (Resigned) StS Dog - VIP (Behavior issues) Thank you to all who were promoted for your hard work, and keep up the good work.

-1 - Good Referal - Ability to recognize past mistake is a start - Being able to speak Romanian is pretty cool - I'm not sure if you were granted an exception to the age requirement (I'm guessing so if Buster referred you) but 14 is still relatively young and there can be some concern for immaturity in situations such as sits or roleplay - Paragraphs are a bit weak, didn't really explain why you want to be staff either. Saying "it doesn't hurt to apply" rather than trying to give solid reasons as to why you'd be a good staff candidate doesn't really show the best commitment in my opinion - Adding on to the above, I don't think you really needed to have an entire second paragraph decided to you being able to speak Romanian

Congratulations to everyone who's done a fantastic job helping keep the server run smoothly! It's awesome to see how cohesive and effective the staff team has been recently, we truly have some superb staff and I feel positive that the recent changes which have been made to the structure of the team will only benefit all of us, by playing to each-others strengths and encouraging those who will undoubtedly do just as well. I'm excited to help in this new role, having previously found that this area of the team is one of my personal favourites. Cheers

Description: Instead of broadcasting, waiting 30 seconds, and pressing the start lockdown, compress it into one button that explains the reasoning for the lockdown and gives a timer until it starts.Reasoning: Most mayors do not utilize a timer and most players won't really know quite when the lockdown will hit. There are a lot of people that will start the lockdown right next to an unsuspecting player just to arrest the second the lockdown goes into effect. This woul make sure that the people know exactly when the lockdown will start, and so that mayors don't wait too long or too little to start the lockdown. if you are wondering about the reasoning part, it is sort of like how you need to put in the reason for arresting someone.Additional Information: [Photos/Videos][/CODE] none

most brain dead messages I have ever read on the forums.

I'm the one who will ultimately have to work on these features/implement them, but I genuinely think the whole "vanilla/nostalgic" feel reasoning is a bit redundant/silly. For god's sake, it's an automated timer to type in the /lockdown command, what here would break your immersion or bring the server to non-vanilla standards ;(

Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: [YES/NO] Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: [YES/NO] Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] DONTTOUCHMYFROG, StarPhantom, Zack, Orion, Derpza, Gabbox, Chawhead Past experiences as staff: [Optional] was staff for a while like 8 months ago Why should we choose you over other applicants?: [minimum 2 paragraphs] You should choose me for staff because I am a nice and responsible guy, yes I may be 14 (and I know im DEFINITELY not the first person to say this) I am genuinely mature for my age, I have been staff before and got burnt out really fast because I CONSTANTLY played the game to the point where I would cancel my own IRL plans to just play gmod and rot in my room all day, but now I dont do that and I have a legitimate life outside of the game and I want to come back and help the staff team out with sits, especially since a bunch of people are actively on the server (the average player count is most likely higher than what it was when I was staff before). And I just want to help out the staff team with doing all of the sits and give new players or already existing players a good experience and help them get a good kick off into the server. I am generally pretty nice to people on the server and have good interactions with nearly everyone. Sometimes I can get a bit out of hand (as shown with my timeout from progs lol), but that is pretty rare especially now because I have gotten older since before and even more mature. This time if I get through to the interview I am not failing the training, im gonna pass it with flying colors and demolish those questions. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: once for mrdm, an accepted appeal, and a timeout from proggy Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: I made one a little bit ago and failed the training 0-0, and did a couple around 9 months ago How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 3-5 hours a day If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: I like fixin up motorbikes and riding around with my friends, playing sports too Did you read the staff rules?: computer

In-game name: BillyBob Age: 15 SteamID STEAM_0:0:212297368 Warns: 0 Timezone: GMT Playtime?: | has played for 1657:00:26. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YES Referral(s): Rook, Splicer, Harus. Past experiences as a Game Master: Senior GM on Garnet and LGM on a different server. Why should we choose you over other applicants? I actually enjoy Gming. I've been a GM before and have had events that were stinkers, and I know what not to do. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? I Got banned from a TTT server when I was 9. That's it. How much time do you have to contribute to the role? a good bit In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: to entertain and keep the population. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: do Cert RP and pilot training. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: doing little battalion-specific missions and letting people do the battalion thing they joined for. My five unique event ideas Event 1 Vault 19 (This event will be done on low pop) the 34th battle gets a call from the NCC holotable. the crewman tells the 34th that a planet that the republic is currently fighting for. all the troopers coming back for medical checkups are insane. and they need the 34th battle group to investigate the battlegrounds to see what's happening to them. once they arrive at the planet, they will move into the bunker, and once they enter, the doors will close behind them (TP will be set up). Now that they are in the bunker, they will have to roll to resist going insane and will see and hear things that are not there, and there will be rocks in the way of paths (in RP are not real) they will need to follow the fake voices and people to a reactor and there will be a barrier, EC should say something along the lines of, you need all trooper to come together as one to walk through the barrier it's not real (it's real they have to blow it up) then they find out this place is here to research how to drive clones insane we capture him and CG/SOB do what they want. THE END Event 2 Rebels at the base a resistance group has taken a medical space station, and we have to take it back so wounded clones can get the medical attention they need. we go to the station and start clearing. Once they get to the main room, the leader, Taylor K. Busch, will be there, surrendering and turning off the self-destruct. it turns out the main group was just coming back from a scouting mission and we have to defend the main room so they don't destroy the space station. Once we are, he will be put in the brig. THE END Event 3 Taylors escape (this is a CG on-world) Once Taylor K. Busch is captured and in the brig, he will escape through a tunnel, and the CG will have to follow the tunnel and find him. Once they start moving through the tunnel, they will have to sneak past Rebels (No-target them, and if they make noise or are seen they get un-notargeted) once they sneak/shoot past they will be met by the leader leaving on a ship and a console, once they hack into the console it will say "With this new video of clones shooting people dressed as doctors our "information leak" will cause some real unrest in the republic" Now they can look around do some more RP.THE END Event 4 Traitors of the republic We follow a tip we got from the Coruscant guard that the rebel leader has escaped to Coruscant and we must him and stop him from broadcasting the footage. once we get to Coruscant, There will be protesters and Gangs, and we will receive a tip from a rival gang that one of the 3 gangs is supporting the rebels, and we need to find out which one. then the protesters will punch the Clones and tell them to go home. once the correct gang is found, they will breach the building and kill the gang and the rebels. then burn the information. THE END Event 5 For rock and stone The republic gets a call from a Mining corp. They want the republic to fight the CIS, who have taken their mine, and they want it back. Because it is one of the biggest mining companies in the republic, the fleet tells us to help them out. We go to the planet to fight the CIS and find out. the mine is for rare Crystals that are used by the Jedi. once all is said and done, we leave and go back to base. THE END

+1 Confirming Referral Sadly, they made you reapply again cus u failed the training, but I hope you pass the training when u get accepted! I have had good interaction with this man right here, he deserves another shot at staff, hope he doesn't claim all the tickets. Good luck man!

+1 Why make someone reapply? The community has already spoken and stated that they want you as staff. You've already been staff. What is the purpose of further community feedback? In a scenario where someone doesn't pass the training, wouldn't that typically require a retraining of either the applicant or the trainer themselves? How hard can the current system be that a past staff can fail even after receiving an entire re-training? I'm with AJ that I think this is a silly requirement and that the training/onboarding process needs refined to prevent this from happening again. From a training and orientation perspective, it makes very little sense. TL;DR Computer's already been accepted and recently. No reason not to accept this one, even less a reason for it to be required.

wait you got rejected but like we need you and you have experience +1 form me

Really made you make another application because you failed the training? +1

Very nice guy and deserves to be in the staff team! 1+

Confirming referral, you've done great work even achieving Officer of the Month. Can't wait to see what you're able to get done with GM. +1

+1 for reasons listed above.

In-game name: eXg Smoke Discord username: ilysmoke Age: 20 SteamID https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198321273777/ Active Warns: None Timezone: PST Current Playtime: 662 Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: yes/yes Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: yes Referral(s): Chawhead Past experiences as staff: I used to be staff on Garnet (I believe I was S.Mod I could be wrong) I got removed for inactivity as I was moving and couldn't get on to play anything. Why should we choose you over other applicants?: Given my previous experience as staff and my familiarity with the rules on Garnett, I am well equipped to add to the server's growth. I take pride in my commitment to fairness and impartiality, qualities that I believe are needed to help keep a balanced and enjoyable experience for everyone. I aim to ensure that both new and established players have a positive experience, fostering a community where everyone feels welcome. I’ve noticed there seems to be a shortage of staff members on the server late at night. I am often up late and am willing to step in to prevent the server from descending into chaos. I understand that there might be newer members of the community who may not know me, and I am excited to get the chance to engage with them. Being a staff member is not just a responsibility; I also find it fun, and I genuinely want to contribute to the server's well being. Whether or not I am accepted as a staff member, I will continue playing on the server, but I hope the community recognizes the benefits of having me a part of the staff team. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: Yes! My last punishment was on Garnet over 4 years ago and was MRDM. I also have a warn limit ban, NLR Ban and FailRP ban (Also all from over 4 years ago) Have you made any previous applications, If so when?:Yes, both were over a year ago. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 3-4 Hours daily guaranteed but possibly more as I work from home and can get on when needed. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: I am a musician. I also edit/record youtube videos and dabble in photoshop from time to time. Did you read the staff rules?: eXg Smoke

+1 i billybob

+1, active, does well as an officer for 327th, good event ideas. Great interactions with you as you've improved greatly over the months.

Friendly player with a decent past of GM experience. All of my interactions with you have been positive, and I think you'd make a great addition. +1

GG to all the staff who got promoted

+1 Been working with Billybob on and off for years, proven himself as a gamemaster before and since he has improved as a player since then, I have no worries that he could take the job and soar through the ranks.

+1 BillyBob is a very nice fella, seems to care a lot about the server.

First interactions with you on the server weren't great, however I know for a fact that you have grown, and absolutely improved over the past few weeks. +1.

+1 Confirming referral, damn good GM. Loved working with this man on our last run together, I would love to work as a team with this guy again.

I played with you on the server for a good chunk of time and you seem like a great guy, your events are pretty basic but the thoughts behind it, I like. The single most creative idea isn't thaaaaat creative but obviously, I would see no reason why you shouldn't be given a chance to prove yourself as a GM and join the team Personally Id be looking forward if I could ever do an event with you. +1

u didnt put me down as a ref im so sad +1 give him GM immediately. Genuinely me, rook, and billybob on 1 event would make that event great.

i miss bare bones drp but thats just me tbh

I can see why opt-out would make sense, the notifications can be annoying if you don't want to participate (I'm partly guilty of spamming lottos as Mayor). That being said, currently all you need to do is just F3 and click No. I don't think it's that annoying of an issue that we'd need it, but that's just me. Neutral

-1 Just hit the "no" button when it comes up.

-1 just don't think its needed or care to see it added. if u blow ur money thats on you

just add like a graffiti artist job instead of buying it because a new player can easily abuse a bought item meanwhile if we put it in a pre1 job the likely hood of the nword covering half the walls of the server is a lot less likely (also you stle my idea I was going to suggest said job)

Yeah we made a lot of changes for a good reason, ie: literal racist jokes with the n word in our UIs, provided by an old developer who was black and thought it was hilarious. Times have changed. The hobo swep I think is a bit of a stretch, and if it’s pushing your buttons/making you uncomfortable, respectfully, Garry’s mod is just not the game for you. I’d suggest you go play Roblox.

+1 Looking at your hours had me a little skeptical, but your experience and dedication in your application definitely make up for it.

+1 great gm, loved working with you the first time around and hope to work with you again!

-1 While I think you are a good officer, I just don't see enough effort being put into this application. The paragraphs are nowhere near large enough for your Why we should choose you section. Your events should be much more in-depth and longer. Fix those things, and I would happily change to a +1.

In-game name: P-140 JENG DCO SSG 1441 Rook Age: 13 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:587786442 Warns: 1 Timezone: EST Playtime?: | P-140 JENG SSG 1441 Rook has played for 780:26:38 Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YES Referral(s): Python, Dizz, Eli Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional] Previous L.GM on GG SWRP Why should we choose you over other applicants?: I believe you should choose me over other applicants due to my previous experience, motivation to work on the server, and ability to put together and execute planned-out and engaging events for the community most days of the week. I have a good amount of experience being a gamemaster on this server and the skills necessary to perform good, engaging events for the community. I also have great motivation and time to dedicate to the server. I can dedicate around 2 hours on most days, and a larger amount of time on weekends. I have the time necessary to put together a well-thought-out and planned event that will be successful in making community members want to play events. I also can come up with events quickly. While it is often-times better to make an event in advance, I can come up with something quick to entertain people. I also am capable of passive RP that doesn't interfere with tryouts and training for people who aren't participating. I can also host events during downtime to retain people who are bored and have nothing to do. I can work well within a large team of GMs to assist with larger events, as well as manage an event where there are not as many GMs to help. Overall, I have the experience and dedication necessary to perform well as a GM for the community. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: No How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 2-3 Hours on school days, Most of the time on weekends In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: A GM's responsibility is to keep activity on the server by providing events and other forms of activities to the players. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: Providing more small RP for everyone instead of RP that is focused on one group. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: An actual hacking interface for ENG hacking RP. Make it easier for GMs so that they don't have to keep up with RP, and more active for engineers. 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] Search and Rescue The 34th battlegroup has received a distress signal from a downed Republic ship on a CIS-controlled world. The clones must split into multiple teams, each consisting of medical personnel to care for any wounded, as well as engineers to repair any broken equipment the downed ship may have. Each team will fight through countless patrols of enemy droids, searching for any possible crash sites. Upon reaching the crash sites, the clones must care for any of the wounded ship's personnel and save any surviving members of the ship's crew. 2 Families The 34th battlegroup receives a mysterious transmission from a planet, requesting help. Upon arriving on the planet, the clones find themselves in a war between 2 crime families. After speaking with the bosses of the 2 families, the clones are given the choice to either pick a side, fight them both, or attempt to end the feud between the 2 families. The clones will make many decisions, each one impacting how to event ends. In the end, the clones will end the feud, either through violence, or negotiation. Revolution The 34th is sent on a mission to capture CIS outposts containing highly valuable information about CIS fleet movements. When the clones get to the planet, it is seen that a group of locals has gone rogue! These locals offer to give the Republic all of their intel, as well as help the Republic attack the CIS fleet if the Republic manages to destroy the large CIS presence in their home world. The Republic wipes out the CIS forces on the world and receives the data which could be used at a different time. Deserters A group of clones deserted the Republic and sided with the CIS. The 34th is sent to search for them and bring them in to be tried in court for treason. The clones will fight through waves of CIS, searching for the group of deserters who, hearing the news of the Republics' arrival, have spread out across the world. The clones can split up into groups, each containing at least one CG, or stick as a group to search for and apprehend the deserters. Upon apprehension and interrogation of the deserters, it is revealed that they told the CIS of the Republic's base on Anaxes, and the clones must return home quickly and retake their planet from the hordes of CIS who have taken it over. Operation Saber Strike The CIS has launched a full-scale assault on a Republic Controlled planet, and the 34th has been tasked with helping defend it. The clones will be split into teams, each one assigned various tasks, such as securing key locations, defending critical objectives, and launching counterattacks against the CIS. The clones will fight through hordes of CIS and attempt to destroy the enemy's presence on the planet. Clones will have the opportunity to interact with civilians trapped on the planet, and it is up to them to complete their objective as well as minimalize civilian casualties.

Description: Introduce an opt out feature for the mayor lottery, preventing the "Join Lottery for $X" notification from appearing in-game if selected. Reasoning: The main reason is it can be disruptive at times when in an RP situation, makes it hard to look at the status of your ongoing missions, and can additionally help players with addictive personalities (myself included) avoid gambling when it's in your face. That said, I'm not against the lottery and don’t want to diminish the feature or hurt players’ chances of winning big. I think an opt out feature makes the most sense, where players by default get the notification as it currently is. Those who don’t want to be reminded to participate can open a menu to turn the feature on/off. Additional Information: Additionally, perhaps the lottery is on by default every time a player connects, and they have to choose to turn it off once connected. I’m open to ideas! Thank you!

Honestly the last 3-ish weeks of playing the server opened my eyes to the lack of leaders the server has. To almost being banned/demoted once to actually being banned for a month (unbanned by the man himself) Its safe to say I'm no longer needed in the staffing realm. I've been playing this server for years now and weird enough I've only been punished towards the time of being an established community member While it has been fun for the most part I'm making this post mostly to wish the very best to Cyber Sword and @Nutter of course, to hopefully repair the server that is clearly a hurting population for the "veteran" players and staff. I was planning on making this post after getting unbanned last week but It was halloweekend so I wanted to enjoy myself. A few shoutouts from my last couple months on the server @Jbhh The actual homie on here, unfortunate enough we had to endure the same shit together Still standing thoo @Torq Also the homie, if you decide to stay and staff i wish you good luck my friend. Been fun basing with you. @Vortex Been fun basing with you also, biggest collector on da server fosho @jittalooginluh you slime @ajbedheadhopefully all is goin well with you, always fun chillin and farmin with you @IAreGunnertry not to get another forum warn, and also dont simp for girls that dont know you @Korn good luck with managing dawg @jewish luh you gangy @Ghostieeestill not manager somehow If i missed you at all mb, its been fun farmin and playin with lots of yall.
