It's been a while, I usually come on the forums to lurk every once and a while to check up on how things are doing, and tonight I just wanted to make a post and see how everyone was doing. I don't play GMOD anymore (or play any games in general for that matter) but this community was a big part of my life growing up as a teenager. The server and this community in general got me through some lonely times in my life, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm glad to see that it's still doing well and that it's still kicking, and it's always nice to see familiar names I remember when I played pop up on here. I remember being 14 and working my way up to being the second "General of the Army", and feeling so accomplished. I honestly think that this server really shaped me into the person I am today, it sounds dumb but I really do think it helped me learn a lot of life skills in terms of leadership and building connections with people when I didn't really have anywhere else to turn to learn those things. Also met a lot of cool people because of this community, I haven't really kept in contact with a lot of them but I still think about them a lot from time to time. I guess as a little mini update on myself for those who care, I've been focusing on myself and working on improving myself both physically and mentally. I've been devoting myself to weightlifting & bodybuilding in general, and I've pretty much fallen in love with the gym. Guess I just wanted to make an appreciation post more than anything, was feeling nostalgic and just wanted to say thank you @Nutter How have you guys been?

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details No bans or punishments How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I am available every night after 10:30 PM due to work but I also have two to three days off a week where I spend almost all day on server. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: We are responsible for what is essentially the life of the server. If the server puts out bad events no one wants to play on it, GM's are also responsible for helping out with any training and tryouts they can. Everything a GM does sustains the life of the server. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I would like to focus on story driven events and passives with Jedi at the forefront as they deserve just as much love as the clones. Don't get me wrong I will be providing plenty of events and RP for clones as well. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: An earthquake on a dessert planet reveals an ancient Sith temple, Jedi are sent to investigate this temple and soon learn after entering they are trapped and forced to complete a set of puzzles and trials that will test their devotion to the light side of the force as these trials dig their claws into the Jedi revealing to them their greatest fears and deepest desires. To survive they will need to work together to trick the temple into believing they are one with the dark side. 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] (This is just some ideas i had not that these may or may not be possible on server just for examples and showcasing) 1. **Galactic Senate Debate:** Host a large-scale event where players can take on the roles of senators from various planets within the Star Wars galaxy. They can engage in lively debates on important issues, negotiate alliances, and strategize political maneuvers to influence the fate of the galaxy. This event can require players to prepare speeches, propose legislation, and engage in diplomatic role-playing, creating a dynamic and immersive political simulation within the game. 2. **Jedi Temple Trials:** Organize a series of challenges and trials within the Jedi Temple for aspiring Jedi players to test their skills and prove their worthiness. Players can participate in lightsaber duels, Force ability tests, and moral dilemmas to showcase their mastery of the Force and their commitment to the Jedi Code. This event can provide a structured and competitive environment for players to role-play as Jedi initiates, offering a blend of combat, puzzle-solving, and ethical decision-making to simulate the rigorous training process of becoming a Jedi Knight. 3. **Smuggler's Run Race:** Create a fast-paced racing event where players can pilot their own starships through a challenging course filled with obstacles, shortcuts, and rival smugglers. Players can customize their ships, upgrade their engines, and outmaneuver their opponents to claim victory and earn valuable rewards. This event can appeal to players who enjoy high-speed thrills and competitive gameplay, offering a mix of skill-based flying, strategic navigation, and adrenaline-fueled excitement in a Star Wars-themed setting. 4. **Hutt Cartel Auction:** Host an exclusive auction event where players can bid on rare and valuable items, artifacts, and technology coveted by the influential Hutt Cartel. Players can role-play as wealthy buyers, cunning smugglers, or desperate bidders vying for the chance to acquire unique treasures and exotic goods from across the galaxy. This event can foster intrigue, negotiation, and intrigue as players compete for limited resources and vie for the favor of the notorious Hutt crime lords, adding a layer of economic and social dynamics to the Star Wars role-playing experience. 5. **Sith Academy Trials:** Stage a dark and challenging event where players can undergo trials and tests at the Sith Academy to prove their loyalty to the dark side of the Force. Players can face off against fearsome adversaries, delve into forbidden knowledge, and embrace their inner darkness as they seek to ascend the ranks of the Sith Order. This event can offer a morally complex and psychologically intense role-playing experience, exploring themes of power, temptation, and sacrifice within the context of Sith philosophy and the eternal struggle between light and dark in the Star Wars universe.

In-game name: SGN-H ENG MSG 9995 Cryo | Jedi Initiate Lor'olki Songsteel Age: 17 (18 on April 19th 2024) SteamID (https://steamid.io/): 76561199229690250 (SteamID 64) STEAM_0:0:634712261 (SteamID) Warns: 0 Timezone: Eastern Standard Time Zone Playtime?: 213:53:29 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?] None. Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional] I was a game master for Icefuse Star Wars Clone Wars RP for a brief period, as well as on the staff team as a Senior Moderator Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] The reason that I should be chosen by other applicants is varied. Not only am I a former Gamemaster (GM from here on in this application) but I also have a large understanding of Star Wars: The Clone Wars lore both legend and canon. I often spend time researching events from both sources of the clone wars and always made sure my past events were well planned, coherently thought out, and devised in a way so that 88% of people could perform some duty related to their unique skills when the situation called for it. Unfortunately my time on Icefuse was short and I never became a full GM mostly because I took an extended LOA and then was removed from the GM/Staff team due to my resignation from the server which was brought on by an unfortunate series of events in real life. Nonetheless, my passive events and rp focused events continued to make strides in the time I was there. Ranging from medically certed members needing to make an emergency pit stop to heal numerous wounded soldiers amidst a battlefield. All the way to having soldiers finding Jedi/Sith artifacts and having to handle that accordingly in a Sand Crawler Jawa trading hub on Tatooine. I have hosted events involving wild mongrels breaching the Felucia base, as well as a highly contagious virus breaking out among the soldiers, leaving the base to be attacked freely by the CIS as it was relatively undefended and the airborne disease had no effect on droids. One event included the soldiers having to take up the mantle and rebuild/instruct new clone cadets on Kamino after a terrifyingly long and hard battle. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details Yes. Unfortunately I was banned on the Icefuse server around 6/11/23 through 7/11/23 for "ERP". However, I appealed the ban and the appeal was approved. I only spent maybe a day or two actually banned as the ERP claim was falsed. (I had video evidence showing that I had not committed ERP.) How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I am a 17 year old adolescent who is turning 18 in April, and then graduating sometime in May. This does mean that I will be working relatively full time after graduation, and I may have to go on ROA/LOA temporarily during the finale of my Senior year of High School. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: The responsibilities of the GM(s) is to provide fun, engaging, lore friendly events and projects. They are to uphold a quota (presumably) and must maintain activity. They need to be able to create events and improvise when they are in the middle of them if things change or are not readily available. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I would contribute to RP as part of the GM team by hosting events that revolve around a specific or multiple Batt’s specialties and really make sure they can each work to the best of their abilities for their roles in the Republic. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: My single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment would be to host events for Specific Batt’s, this may be unachievable due to us only having one server and wanting people to be able to attend events but I have a solution. As we have cert specific roleplay events I believe whole-heartedly it should be the same for Battalions. They don’t have to be when the Off-Worlds happen or when the On-Worlds happen either, they could be in between these major daily events. It seems to me that this would help with people complaining that their Batt never gets to exercise their specialties in off worlds or on worlds because they’re forced to just sit around and play click simulator while other groups do all the actual roleplay and fun stuff. 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] Rescue Mission on Ryloth: The Separatists have captured a group of Twi'lek hostages on Ryloth. Players must coordinate a rescue mission, infiltrating the Separatist base and freeing the hostages while dealing with enemy forces. Battle of Umbara: Players are divided into two teams, to reenact the intense battle on Umbara. Each team must strategize and execute their plans to secure victory, with various objectives and challenges along the way. Fighting the Umbarans and potentially eachother under the guise of fighting "Umbarans". Clones Gone Rogue: A group of clone troopers has gone rogue and taken refuge in an abandoned facility on a remote planet. Players must form a task force to track down and apprehend the rogue clones, facing challenges such as traps and ambushes along the way. The Battle for Christophsis: Republic forces are attempting to retake the planet Christophsis from Separatist control. Participating in a series of engagements to secure key strategic points and turn the tide of the battle. The Hunt for a War Criminal: A notorious Separatist war criminal is rumored to be hiding on a lawless planet in the Outer Rim. Players must gather intelligence, track down the criminal, and either capture or eliminate them, navigating through the planet's dangerous underworld and facing off against local gangs and mercenaries.

In-game name Railgun/Buck Port'al Age 22 SteamID 76561198295377753 Warns 0 Timezone CST Playtime? 8days 23 hours or 215 hours Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone? Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos? Yes Referral(s) Nobody i just like the server Past experiences as a Game Master I dont remember many server names but ive been GMing for about 3 years Why should we choose you over other applicants? While to some I may seem like another random player i actually have quite the history and experience as both a gm and swrp player in any role. I started back in 2018 and have actively played since. I am on practically every day and have began to enjoy it a lot more than i thought i would. I am a creative and Thorough person when it comes to GMing unlike when i am playing for fun as i take the job very seriously. I would greatly enjoy being able to not only do big events but assist players with anything they might need from battalion trainings and certs to sparking an exciting day from a boring one with a sudden onworld event. While i am new to the community I do not plan on staying that way for long, and Recruiting me as a GM would not only help me become more involved in both the server and the community. In the long run I know that people will be able to look back at the events and things I will do as a GM and reminisce about some of their favorite moments on the server no doubt. On top of everything else I also have no life tbh so I can do back to back events to keep the server rolling on the slower days when a chunk of the server is busy with work or school stuff, I dont mind GMing whether its 10 or 100 people, I enjoy it regardless. 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 I am currently job searching so at the current moment i am free from about 10am-12am every day In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster? A gamemaster is almost like the heart of a server, because no matter how good a staff or dev team is or how energetic the COs are it doesnt mean much of anything if there are never any events happening. As a GM It is your job to ensure an exciting experience for everyone on the server, From CT to Jedi to SOB. If a GM isnt doing exciting events it can cause a server to lose traction and player count quickly. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team I have pretty vast starwars knowledge and as long as its approved by my GM overseers id enjoy bringing a set of characters who frequently appear in events in order to build a bond with the troopers as if they were normal whitelists almost Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server An event line following a Jedi knight and his battalion commander who frequently find themselves the target of DFUs and Kidnappings, They would be recognizable models and characters who would have storylines that could easily cross over into any other event with their ability to seemingly always wind up in trouble. They would come with a made up battalion (Probably something like 13th Thunder core) And a doc detailing each adventure they find themselves in so new players can brush up on the lore of the entire plotline. 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] Operation Dugout [Troopers will be allowed ground vehicles and a single LAAT/I for troop transport and positioning] At the beginning of the event the base will receive an emergency broadcast from a republic frequency begging for assistance with their current position (To be determined once i know the maps) The troops will be given an emergency briefing and will deploy as quickly as possible. Once onworld the troops will be guided via droppods and a pair of event characters who will serve as their guides as they bunker down and are given a timer to hold off waves of droids ending with a climactic decision to rig the outpost with explosives and evac in order to destroy the CIS forces Nightfall Protocol [Onworld Passive RP into FOB Sweep Event] Naval will be contacted first informing them of a possible insurgent force of clones within the base (Played by up to 4 randomly chosen players) Troops will be ordered to their bunks and inspected by CG and Naval. The event character troopers will act completely normal and pass these inspections then will steal a LAAT and set up fortifications and be reinforced by CiS forces. Troops will head out on foot to clear the FOBs and finally face off with a DFU and the event characters at the crystal caves. The DFU will surrender at the end of the conflict and be allowed to be interrogated by jedi for RP and training Blue Moon!? [Troops will be allowed no additional equipment] During a training onboard a venator the troops receive a mysterious broadcast and are ordered by command to investigate it. They find themselves landing upon a seemingly abandoned CiS base with no explanation as to why it has been emptied. The troops slowly find notes and context that reveals that this was a CiS Biochemical lab that was developing a gaseous disease that rapidly deteriorates and zombifies troopers. Luckily it seems that this factory is empty of both the gas and zombies. Unfortunately it is not empty of traps as when a specific console is used it sets off an alarm that alerts a nearby CIS fleet that hyperspaces in and launches an assault on the troops. Once defeated the CiS Leave and drop several pods that begin to release the gas. If troopers are not fast enough they will have to deal with a hazmat emergency on ship 13th Reason [Troops will be allowed all equipment] The Thirteenth thunder core needs the help of our troops! They are making an emergency landing to occupy the base while their Jedi General and Commander are in critical condition and their onboard medical equipment isnt good enough to save them. Then halfway during the emergency the troops will load up and leave into hyperspace, forgetting both their CO and Jedi who will then participate in an onworld base defense and swiftly be taken to reunite with their troopers. . . . . for now. . . . . Codewords and Crackheads [RP heavy mission, no vehicles or equipment allowed.] There has been recent suspicious activity happening in the underbelly of Coruscant and naval have been informed that one of their spies within the CiS has sent encrypted information to a gang member of a local hutt cartel who is willing to exchange the info for a reduced sentence in prison. He however is not physically identified and can only be uncovered by a series of codewords predetermined during the briefing. Once onworld it will be up to Naval and CG to Identify the informant and safely extract him for details regarding the next offworld. (Edited to look a little better and fixed the steamID)

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: Sas Mate Your in-game name: StS MO Jaren Your SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:127357723 In-game name of reportee: Sas Mate SteamID of reportee (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:207759668 Date & Time of incident: 4/15/24 around 8 AM Timezone: CST What happened? (include any proof): I was dealing with toxic players such as mayors cum guzzler (who was banned and evaded within 5 minutes) and others who thought doodle was being biased and helping me (they weren't) so they decided to harass me. I deem this as toxic and wrong for the server. Sas Mate told me to end my life (kill myself basically) along with mayors cum guzzler. Proof: Clip 1 Clip 2 (unedited 30 second clip to prove it isnt edited)

its at most FRP not scamming. scamming is when you're promised a set amount on something whether you're buying or trading and the other person doesn't hold up their end of the deal and you lose. a very niche definition of scamming but its basically fraud. someone breaking nlr or fail raiding and taking your printers moneys and what not isn't scamming because theres no agreement its just FRP if you're lucky to get that included.

Having worked alongside Railgun on engineering tasks in and out of missions I’ve seen firsthand that he is capable of performing the duties of a gamemaster. I look forward to seeing some interesting events from you. - +1

you a homie

+1 - Events looking good, my eyes hurt, but I look forward to training u!

+1 - The detail needs working on, but I know you can make good events. Your OT was very in depth, so I believe your ability to idea create will be good!

Easy plus +1 I remember hosting an event and seeing that it was going to be his first one. As I played as a EC and watched over the players I noticed he did very good for his RP and fully understood how to do it while also having fun and not being 100% serious all the time. I’m confident that this man can make a great GM

+1 - The formatting makes me cringe a bit. But the application is well written, some refinement work to be done. Over the course of GM Training, this will come to be an easy transition. Good Luck.

-1 non vanilla , dont feel like it belongs tbh more suited for drp 2 if that happens

Rockets are worth millions for a reason. Butttttttt, I do agree with bringing back noclipped glass, which would nerf the rockets.

Gone but never forgotten

corrupt ass mod doodledoo and sts mo jarden caused issues with the wholeeeee server and then get me banned for 2 weeks then went on a alt to try to do a sit with a diff adamin but got a 1 year ban doodledoo should not be a mod i enjoy your servers dark rp and starwars rp but it seems on the dark rp if u have vip the admins take the side of the vip user always when me and 4-5 of my friends where jsut tryna have a good time but we all are getting called to sits jailed and banned??? love starswars rp so far great admins great players dark rp mostly great players mostly goood mods from what ive seen but holy shit doodledoo is one corrupt mf and needs to be dealt with ive only heard complaints about him so far

I can't for the life of me understand how this is a "scam", but I would at least agree about it being FailRP. Though if we don't normally compensate people for lost guns or money in the event of RDM or whatnot, I don't know if this would even be something we could really force a player to give back. Neutral on this. The idea is nice but I'm not confident in its implementation.

Neutral In my opinion, I wouldn't count it as "Scamming" since they're not technically scamming you, I guess you could count it as FRP, but when I played someone broke NLR and this happened it was a 'tough luck' scenario so

For us to consider unbanning aj, he may want to go to this link here: https://forums.garnetgaming.net/index.php?/support/, he then must use the department "Ban Appeals" and fill in all the required info!

ik this seems like 2022 was awhile ago, but i got unbanned this year after being banned since november of 2022 so i thought id see who was around and have memories from garnet darkrp or maybe something else.
