Echo, The GRUlag. Enough Said.

Who are you reporting? [Staff]: TheosYour in-game name: TSFU 2LTR SoapYour SteamID : STEAM_0:0:179365922In-game name of reportee: TALI 2LT TheosSteamID of reportee : STEAM_0:0:130146048Date & Time of incident: December 1, 2021 Until PresentTimezone: GMT+1 / BSTWhat happened? : As of late the MRP community has grown tired and a little pissed in general with the direction of the server, the manager of the server is generally disconnected from the community and has moved the server in a direction that fits his vision not the vision of the main server population. The main server population is growing increasingly frustrated with changes that don't fit what they enjoy about the server. I have been getting a little annoyed with the backroom chats about the on goings and thought that someone should finally speak out rather than the constant talking behind the managers back as much as i disagree with the direction he is taking with the server i thought someone should at the very least make a point somewhere he could see it. The Staff team are not listened too with the manager suppressing there views and anytime he doesn't agree with a majority he just shoots it down telling them to "cope" and just deal with the fact its his way or no way. This is not a way to manage a server simply doing whatever you would prefer and not taking into account the views of the staff team or the community and supressing there views, there is basically no staff team or community input allowed at this point that is adverse to the managers views, its like the staff team exist to be sit bots, the players are there to do what they are told and the manager does what he likes the term manager isn't doesn't cover what this is, a better word would be dictator. As the manager says you must do and no one else is getting a say, he even goes as far as to degrade staff members with opposing views https://streamable.com/zsqmz1 and delete messages in the staff discord to make the staff members look worse. So here is my proposed solution: https://garnetgaming.net/forums/index.php?/profile/16561-sirsmity/ SMITY Smity Currently is the most senior in rank among the staff team and has views that the staff team and most of the community support. He is currently in the HR Division as a HR Supervisor and is extremely active with his division work. He also runs the GM Team. On server Smity has been a very influential person always placing PermaProps when required, he is always communicating with faction leaders and people onserver to see whats going well, what isn't and what staff could do for them. Going forward he is looking to improve communications between the executives, staff and the wants of the community to insure that the server is moving in a direction that works for the many not the few. And to Properly seek out cheaters and make sure they are dealt with accordingly.

Ngl if we get echo followed by taiga it's like best of both worlds

WAC REMOVED Does this mean we could get the Afsoc classes renamed and repurposed as either event classes or as a way to bring back a 4th soc for each side

Okay so here we are again, hows it going?, hows everyone doing this evening? I plan on benefiting the server in general just by being available when the server is lower pop and there isn't many staff on. The Current Sit counts are rather low and as much I would love to say I would help by taking sits this is not my main priority, I am not suggesting that I wouldn't take sits I am simply stating that as of current there is not a big demand for a staff member who primarily will sit farm. Rather I would be looking to make an impact by helping to get the view of the generalized community across to the MRP executive team and try to aid with rule changes and generally just assisting people on server. I think the idea of staff being just sit bots has clouded some peoples view of how much a staff member can actually do I would look to assist Factions with TPs, Respawns and 'Hopefully' in the future sets for Tryouts, trainings and sims, as the role of staff isn't just handling reports and making judgements on forums that is just one part of it, the Main role in my eyes is to improve players experience on server and that is exactly what I aim to do. Now as Previously Stated my Main objective as staff isn't just sits however I think my approach towards sits can improve the new player experience, I look to take a Lenient approach towards new players. Example TALI pvt S0Me0n3 RDMS VET . I would not simply go straight to punishments, Instead explain to them what they did wrong and what the rules are and if need be retrain them. Not all new players are minges most just take a while to learn the do's and don't's on server. I would also look at using staff commands to allow for easier and more enjoyable activities for new players, being able to bring new people back after dying in sims allow them to get back into the action quicker and prevent them from getting bored, as bored new players leads to lower player retention and without a good player retention the server will not have any portion of new players. So to summarize I would look to help improve lower pop [Early in the day for US] player experience, attempt to help people with small scale events faction based or otherwise and to Generally just try to conduct sits in a fair and transparent manner.

I believe this has been Resolved and he has been given permission. +1 Active on Server and in TS. Good Paragraphs. Some Staff Experience. Loves the Scottish People. Sometimes seems alittle immature but everyone likes a laugh from time to time. And a we bit daft no getting approval before applying.

I have always been a person who tries to help anyway I can, simply put I enjoy playing on server and I wont be the first to say this but current staff are doing a pretty great job of preventing minging and toxic players from spoiling everyone's experience on server and on the whole I haven't really seen to many contested warns or bans lately. Basically what I'm Taking a while to say is I'm not gonna make any outrageous claims that I am somehow gonna get the server to max pop in a week. However what I would look to contribute is an honest opinion and an open mind towards scenarios in sits. I would look to handle sits in the fairest way possible and to contribute to any staff related duties on forums and on server with professionalism. As a Member of the Staff Team I would Contribute mostly by taking on server sits and try to show any new player that may not know / may break the rules that we are a tolerant community and we are willing to help players better understand and enjoy the server. I would also look to assist in any on / off server testing of patches or bugfixes, assist with creating future update sheets and in general try and be as much help as possible. So in Conclusion I'm not some guy claiming to have a magic wand to fix what problems you may think the server has, I'm just a random scottish lad willing to commit my time to the staff team in any way I can.

Description: The Current map Omega is another great map however it seems to be getting alot of negative community feedback as of late, as usual this isn't because the map is bad it is just because we have been on it alittle to long. I think it is time to catch a plane to a previous garnet map. As usual I think this should be put to a community vote as usual and a forum should be opened for comments on Omega changes/improvements for the future. Reasoning: This would benefit the server as it allows the player base to experience a different map, create new tryouts tailored to the "new" map and change up the combat dynamic with different terrain. I actually rather like Omega however even I am finding it rather stale as of late and I have heard many others in ts awaiting a map change. This is more of a quality of life change rather than something that is game changing.

- 1 Good Points Previous Experience as staff on Multiple servers. High playtime on Garrys Mod. Bad Points Haven't seen you in TS. Don't know Who you are. Relatively low hours on Server. Recommendation Try hop in TS as much as possible and spend sometime meeting and interacting with people in the community. Try get your playtime up and try show ur commitment to the server by becoming a Base Faction officer or a member of SOC faction.

Description: Change the names of sections of the forums to Afghan instead of Russia to match what is currently on server. And move the old threads to an archive sections titled Russian Forces : forum posts so that they are not deleted simply moved. I know this may cause some controversy however as someone who generally prefers RU over AFG onserver i would just like to state that this is just to save confusion etc and so that the MRP factions section can once again be utilised. Reasoning: Just for consistency. Additional Information: N/A

Still to do sheets for BRifles, MRifles and Snipers but ill follow up with them in a few days.

+1 This would make a great temporary fix to the low population on tali. And would hopefully stop US players having to swap over every war.

Basically then but minor tweaks could be made so that the gun wasn't overpowered

Description: In summary I am suggesting that the weapons and the general combat is overhauled back to be similar to what was used during 2019-2020, as of rn the hit reg is poor and the gunplay is unreliable/slow on the whole. I know how much work has been put in across the span of time since but as of right now the balance is basically that all the weapons are in the most part unreliable and inaccurate. Rather than the weapons all being balanced for a purpose as in SMG/Shotguns<Close range> AR<Mid Range> Sniper/MarksmenRifle<Long Range> as of right now the Smgs spread is so high they arent on the most part useful even in very close range scenarios. ARs have very slow time to kill at mid range and are actually more reliable in close range rather than mid range. And Snipers require that u are stationary for a period of time before firing to be atall accurate and even at that can seem inaccurate. These factors all contribute to the gunplay being alot more slow and more RnG based rather than skill based. I know that some of these for examples the stationary use of snipers is more realistic however this is a Gmod based FPS and tactical realism should come second to weapon balancing. The use of increased aimspread is a useful tool for adjusting the time to kill on certain weapons but a better method is to increase gun recoil wether horizontal or vertical. In the most part Increasing aimspread increases RnGs during gunfights where as increasing recoil makes for more skill based gunplay as recoil is controllable by user input where as higher aimspread makes the user rely on RnG and is not able to be effected by the user apart from the user remaining as stationary as possible, this leads to slow paced wars where movement and skill is less of a help and more of a hindering as guns are more reliable for stationary players. so in blanket terms, The spread of pellets on shotguns should be decreased to increase accuracy and reliability, whilst increasing the shotguns recoil as to balance this change. SMGs should have higher fire rates and lowered aimspread whilst greatly increasing there recoil as to make them great for short range engagements and semi reliable in the short to mid range and the recoil should prevent them front being better then ARs in the mid range. ARs for the most part just require lower aimspread and higher recoil as to make them more of skill based weapons. MarksmenRifles, they as of right now are in a decent place of balance but would require to be changed so that they could be accurate even whilst moving. Snipers, Snipers require that the time to get an accurate shot is greatly reduced so that they are accurate almost instantly after becoming stationary. Reasoning: I believe these changes would increase the enjoyability of wars as once again they would become more competetive and skill based over just being a game of numbers.

+1 - Gid laugh - not toxic - absolute chad - Great when was Previously staff

+1 Currently smgs have a very low reliability in gun fights making them a much worse option than ARs even in CQC I'm all for a rework to the smgs, I think this will be a bit of a trial and error sorta thing to get right, in the past smgs have been vv over powered and I understand that the increase to aim spread (as well as other changes) were there to maintain weapon balance, but with the current map and the current meta smgs see little to no use.

MRP has seen better days in terms of numbers, Main issue Player retention. I think alot of staff members miss this they blame updates or gameplay and don't concentrate on the main issue keeping players on the server. In the past i have seen people make large promises in staff applications I'm not gonna do that I'm just gonna lay out how i think i can help and where I see issues. Training times, I see new players sit in the spawn room for 10mins plus not getting trained we need to be stricter on who gets to keep DS when they are not training, staff giving verbal warnings for the same issue repeatedly people are not going to learn from there mistakes if there is no consequence this is why the minges continue to minge for so long. These scenarios are common but not always the case I am not trying to bring any kind of issue with staff or current DS players I just want to help them all create a better experience for players on the MRP Server. I Have popped in and out over time which some see as a bad thing, but it has shown me that the same ideas get recycled time and time again and the same mistakes made, we need to innovate as a server or risk becoming obsolete, we need to have more docs to follow what has been done before and not worked and what did, instead of taking a shot in the dark at ideas as a staff team we need to document our mistakes and our improvements so that we know which direction works for our player base not just for ourselves, whilst i may find an idea not to be to my liking it may actually be popular amongst the player base we need to remember that being staff isn't about benefiting ourselves but benefiting the players on the server whether they are new or old.

During my time playing MRP I have noticed that there is a great many issues in how there are only staff and ranking officers available in the evening making the server virtually unplayable for anyone on early in the day, I would aim to change this as most of my hours on server are off peak where the pop is lower and the chance of mingey players and people looking to cause trouble is a lot higher, this discourages any new players as they join and just seen people minging around and leave. in place of this having a staff member [myself] be available and monitoring the server during these hours. As well as this I will happily share my views opinions and ideas to upper management on ways to improve the MRP experience and generally improve the quality of life. I only Recently came back to the MRP community too see the same issues as when I left, players looking for more events, players looking for more quality of life updates, players looking for a shorter map rotation time ETC,ETC.... The list goes on and on but all of these issues have simple solutions and I will attempt to work with upper staff to resolve these issues and look to improve the quality of life on server. I mean I may have just layed out many issues and I'm going to be honest the MRP commuinity and server both are very enjoyable still however if we work to improve the server for the players the players will want to do more for the server and this would prevent any further issues like the ones I have mentioned for occurring. Finally I would just like to state that I am back to help the server and to primarily enjoy playing the server so I am not gonna be running around barking rules at players because as everyone knows having a laugh and a kid around some times means breaking a few rules But any Reports ETC will always be treated with the utmost care.
