I’m not sure what happened, but I hope that things are ok mate. It’s sad to see you go, you were a great guy in the time I knew you. All the best and hope to see you around

Sorry to hear your leaving the DRP team mate but it’s great that you’ll still be around You did some great work and helped keep our favourite DRP server awesome. I’ll be sure to catch you around, all the best until then

Ahh Salteeens! It’s sad to see you leave mate, we became execs together and you were a top tier staff member! But I know how quickly life can get busy, I’m in the same boat currently. I hope to catch you around though for sure All the best in the meantime

Neutral I’m not against the price being lowered, but I don’t think it’s very expensive as it currently stands. If I see someone selling hotdogs, I’ll buy one even at a large markup for the fun of it.

Neutral While it would be cool to see some additional CC models, I personally don’t believe it’s worth adding additional download data. Although, if there was one specific model which wasn’t a large size and fitted in well then I might change my mind. I’ll stay neutral for now.

+1 I like the reasons that you’ve given for wanting to join the team, plus you have a clean record and otherwise have made a decent application. I haven’t met you that I can recall, but you seem genuine and I don’t see any reason to deny you a change to help out on the team. I wish you the best of luck!

I was playing with some ideas before I headed off to work away, there’s a ton of cool things and themes to do. Brilliant idea! Hopefully I’ll be able to get back soon and set something up, but if not, I can’t wait to see what others make

This is brilliant! Lmao

+1 Im guessing it’s just a bug, I’m pretty certain it was working before but makes sense to fix it, it’s a cool system

Just to give my 2 cents, I might not be a player of SWRP but just going from my own experiences with DRP and CRP. I think we have a really good setup regarding the staff teams. I know it might be a little frustrating when there aren’t too many staff online, or perhaps with the GM work you mentioned, but the vast majority of staff volunteer their time passionately to help keep the servers population happy, and I think they do a good job of that. Now and then I’m sure there might be the odd member who you may have concerns with, but the managers (and Proggy and Garnet) have always been happy to help out and receptive to genuine issues, in fact it’s quite incredible how much time they all put into the servers really given they have lives to live too. You mentioned about the feedback forms for people to fill-in, and believe it or not I always fill one in monthly leading up to the promotions, even if I only have good things to say, and I do feel that the managers listen and take everyone’s thoughts on board. My biggest reason for sticking around on Garnet when I first found the server was the fact I felt it was run so well, with staff who cared and wanted to help people, who were unbiased with fair and transparent staff rosters and an appeal process. You can rest assured that spending 1000’s of hours in game won’t be lost to a rogue admin, because the structure is good. Again, this is my experience and views from DarkRP / CityRP

-1 Definitely not, I'd elaborate but it's been suggested before and I think the other comments have said enough already. CityRP has cars though?

+1 You've got a fantastic application and I really like the reasons that you've given for wanting to join the team, with an emphasis on helping new players and being receptive to learning and evolving. You've got more than the minimum required hours so I don't see an issue with that by any means, plus you have two referrals from other staff members which is always great to see. You also have a clean record with no previous bans and no current warns which shows that you're of good character. While I don't recall having met you, I think you've done a superb job of conveying yourself well and have a solid application, and so I believe you'd be a welcome member of the team. I wish you the best of luck

+1 I love this idea, and I think it could be fantastic in terms of RP potentials too! Straight away I'm picturing a Los Pollos Hermanos with a meth manufacturer cooking it up in the back. As Saul Goodman said "You're filthy drug money has been transformed into nice clean taxable income brought to you by a savvy investment in a thriving business". It also gives more reasons and opportunities for people to RP as a chef or bartender, which currently are lesser used classes but may find a great purpose if this was to be accepted.

Congratulations to all those who've done a fantastic job this month keeping our favourite server fun and welcoming, it's been a long and hot summer but you guys have done an amazing job! I'd like to mention that I've not been as active as usual due to work, but I'm excited to catch up with everyone especially in my favourite time of the year... spooky season! A huge well done to our MVP's - Currently Baked, It's Dann, and Celestialius. You guys have some crazy sit counts, you should be super proud! A shoutout to Jaren The Big Memer who I've trained this month and has already getting promoted, it's great to see you settling in well and doing some top work! I'd like to say that we have a fantastic team of people here, the level of positivity has been genuinely amazing. We can all achieve anything we want to when we work together, and I'm excited and proud to see everyone having a great time while also helping the server, so that others can too. So well done to everyone and here's to another month, cheers

Agreed with others, I think this is an awesome setup!

PARTIALLY ACCEPTED Having reviewed all of the evidence that has been submitted I have decided to partially accept the appeal, by lowering the ban to one week for unintentional MRDM, given that you by your own admission only intended to kill Sigmund Freud, and did not intend to kill Timothy or Trippy Hippy. With that said, it’s important to remember that in the event that someone is breaking the rules, you should place a report and allow the staff member to handle it accordingly rather than taking things into your own hands, as it can actually make it more difficult for the staff to resolve the initial issue if you are also breaking rules as a result. Dmoney and the other staff members involved didn’t do anything wrong by banning you, but I feel a lesser punishment of a one week ban is fair given the evidence shown. @Shin_Tsukimi @stretchy @Glorbnob @FlameSoul @GrosCave Please lock and move.

Thank you @Wess and @lmay for your input, if you or anyone else who was directly involved wishes to provide evidence then they are welcome to. The video is certainly useful, but I’m going to wait for Dmoney to provide any additional evidence or information before I make a final decision.

It's sad to see you go mate, but I can say that it's been great staffing with you and you've done some great work during your time in the team Just be sure to look after yourself mate, your mental health is super important and it's best to make sure you're back on your feet and feeling good for sure, and when ever you feel ready I'd be happy to give you my referral. I wish you all the best in the meantime though and hopefully I'll catch you again sometime soon

@dmoney824 Please could you provide your evidence

Hi Tim, I'd like to start by addressing your accusations of bias, because such an accusation should be taken very seriously. I treat people the same regardless of whether they are a good friend or someone I'm not so fond of, and actually in this case we used to get on very well and I've spent a lot of time in the past with you, so for me to go ahead and ban you for something shows the complete opposite of bias, because it proves I will treat you the same as someone I don't get on with. The point you're making which I have been very open about, is that I will give more leniency to new players because there are a lot of rules on the server and I appreciate that they may not understand things, so yes as I said in the quote, I'd be happy to give a new player the benefit of the doubt in a lot of scenarios in order to help them improve. Players like me and you on the other hand know the rules very well, in fact you probably have 3x the number of hours I do on this server, so you are expected to know better than someone who's just joined. Bias has no place on the server, and I always make sure to apply the rules in a fair and appropriate manor. Continuing on to the reason I banned you, I returned to my computer having been AFK for a period of time, and on returning I saw that lots of the largest square plastic plates had been spammed throughout the streets in every direction, completely littering the map as far as I could see. When I looked at who the prop owner was, I was genuinely surprised to learn it was you who had spammed them everywhere. There were no active reports, and given that it was early morning, there weren't many players or staff members online. I believe that you had taken advantage of a low staff count in order to spam props everywhere without consequence, and as a player with many times more hours than even myself, you knew you were breaking the rules which you don't deny, and so I banned you on the spot for 2 weeks for Mass Prop Spam. I'd like to point out that it must have taken you some time to spawn in all of the props, baring in mind they went on further than I explored, so saying they were only down for 10-15 seconds is quite obviously not true, it took me about the same time to check your ID and type out the ban while all of the props remained in front of me. Please see my evidence below:

Sorry to hear that you're retiring mate, you've done well and it's been great staffing with you. I hope that things go well and I hope to see you around sometime! All the best in the meantime

Neutral I don't mind the idea of additional pet rewards like the nugget, if people like the idea and it's easy enough to add. Just as long as it's able to be turned off because I prefer a minimalist look personally.

That’s actually a good point, it would be a bit odd with Gordon mixing with the combine actually come to think of it. Yea, still love the idea even as a criminal class. Maybe Gordon’s mission is to take down the Mayor (Dr Breen)? Like a permanent hit and able to raid the PD? Just throwing out ideas lol

+1 I like this idea and Gordon Freeman is actually the best, and I feel like he's a force for good too. Maybe a new PD class for prestige levels? That would be pretty cool. I'm not sure about the crowbar, I know it's been removed and only a few players still have it in their inventory. But given that Gordan Freeman is part of the standard assets, it doesn't add anything to the download and playing as the most iconic character of Half Life so I'm all for it.

I stand by what I said, but I'll put my money where my mouth is and offer you a challenge if you're up for it.... if you are able to raid my base using any of the weapons in the game, while I defend with just a HK45, I'll buy you a D'Lore? We'll do it this weekend if you'd like?
