Ahhh Zulas!
I really hope things get better for you mate. You and your brother are such a good laugh, it will be a real shame to see you go! Sorry to hear about your Grandfather man. Just keep your chin up and keep working hard at things, it might not be easy but time can be the best healer of all. You're always friendly and got on so well with everyone. If you ever fancy popping on to say hello then be sure to let me know! Or even in discord VC with others for a laugh and a catch up. If not then I just hope things go well for you moving forwards, and remember we're all here if you ever change your mind

This is a really decent application, and I like the reasons you have given to want to become staff on the server. You’ve got a decent number of hours, and a good reference. I know you said you had a ban ages ago but I don’t see anything listed in the ban records, so you’re of good character. Overall I think you could be a great staff member and so I wish you the best of luck

I'll throw a hobo boot at you if I see you staffing!
For real though, have a proper break and take some time to relax, you do a lot and it's healthy to have some downtime

I’ve always been intrigued to know how people come up with their usernames.
I used to use pretty random names years ago which had little meaning because I genuinely used to get annoyed with myself for taking so long just making an account, so I’d mash my keyboard in frustration with my own indecisiveness haha!
I decided some years ago that life is actually really sort and I don’t mind being more personal and true to myself in my username, so I took part of my first and last name, and put them together into something unique but identifiable and easy to remember.

You need to be at least 13 years old to apply for staff. I’d give a proper response when you re-apply though for sure -
+1
Vortex has always been a good laugh to be around and has become a good friend. He's a long standing member of the community (I mean I know you were here a long time but 8 bloody years! Jeez!). He's always been kind and helpful, helping everyone (including myself) in game. He's a solid member of the community with countless number of hours to his name and he literally knows the game inside-out. The only thing that surprises me is that he hasn't applied to be staff sooner! I think he would do an amazing job if he were to be accepted given his mature and calm demeanour, and I have no doubt he will impart a positive impact on all of those which he meets.
Best of luck mate

Corbz is a good friend and a solid member of the Garnet community who has always demonstrated kindness and care towards everyone. He's helped me with certain things in the past, and dedicates a huge amount of time engaging with others, both playing on the server or just chilling on discord with others. There is a lot more I could list, but as he's a previous staff member (of many times) and someone we all know and love, I don't think I need to say much more other than it's a big +1 from me.
Best of luck mate

Shin, it’s bitter-sweet to hear that you’re resigning. You have been a fantastic manager in my time knowing you, an absolute inspiration to the other staff members including myself. Your energy and enthusiasm is incredible, keeping it real with a good laugh while also maintaining a high standard in the work you have done that everyone should strive to achieve. I have the upmost respect for you and I’m sad that you’re not going to be managing on the server anymore.
On the other hand, I am incredibly excited to hear how things go with college! You’re a 300IQ guy that I know will absolutely nail it in your exams, given your immense determination. I think you’d do great in criminal psychology if that’s still something you would like to persue, and I’d love to hear all about it as you get into it. And as others have said, it will be cool to hang out, whether it’s in DarkRP, Fallout, or something else; I’ll be up for a laugh for sure.
For now, I just want to thank you for everything you have done and for being a generally amazing guy. Of course, I wish you all the best but I’ll stay in touch

An absolutely perfect application. You have a huge number of hours on the server which show a genuine commitment to the community, with no prior bans or current warns. Everything you have said about your reasons for becoming staff is awesome. Even the manor in which you convey yourself is noteworthy. I've never had any bad interactions with you either, even if we haven't spent much time chatting in-game.
Overall, I think you'd be a good addition to the staff team in my opinion and from your application, and so I wish you the best of luck

-1 - Serious question about your bans......
It seems as though there is a potential issue here. You said your steam ID is 76561199067907008 which I quickly checked to list any previous bans. Initially nothing came up, but our system was made to take the default steam ID (which is a different format than the DEC Steam ID). So after converting it, it says your ID is STEAM_0:0:553820640. Is this correct?
The reason I ask is because it shows two previous bans, one for NITRP at the beginning of last year, but more importantly, a ban last month for Mass RDM & LTAP.
On 4/30/2022 at 5:13 AM, Adin_is_here said:Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details If I can Rember I think I got a small ban once about a year ago for fail base, keep in mind at that time I was new Lvl 8 and did not yet have a Mic so i did not understand the concept of keypads and fading doors.
If this is true and I have got the correct steam ID, then you'd be lying on your staff app and I'd give a strong -1. This ban was very recent so you wouldn't have forgotten. However, I'm asking in case I'm mistaken and somehow messed up the conversion, in which case I'll edit my post.

-1 (for now)
I've never had any issues with you personally Rapts, in fact all of the interactions that we've had have been good. You have a huge number of hours on the server which show a genuine commitment to the community and you have previously been staff, all of which is truly great.
The reason I am giving a -1 (for now) is that you have 8 bans in the last year, the most recent (January this year) was an extended ban for multiple issues as you've said. As a previous staff member, this is even more concerning. I do absolutely agree that people can change, I believe we all mature with time. But change does indeed take time, and I don't believe that such a drastic change would happen overnight so to speak. Instead, I think this application would be a fantastic marker to show how your character has changed if you were to apply at a later date, proving that you were serious about reforming your character. And if you were to do that, I would give you a +1 instead.
This is not a dig at all because like I say, I think we have always got on well in my experience. I just hope you understand my reasoning when it comes to representing the Garnet staff team

Congratulations everyone on a fantastic month!
There's been some great work done, and I'm so pleased for everyone.
Special mention to @WallE and @lmay who I trained half-way through this month, with both of you doing a super job and already getting promotions! You guys are truly doing a great job
Here's to the GG family

I mean it does actually make a lot of sense to increase the prop-limit for gamemasters to hold events, if it's possible of course. And as you say, if it was attached to a class then it would prevent people from RPing with the higher prop-limit too. Plus the server is running silky-smooth with all it's recent upgrades giving good FPS. In fact, I can't think of anything negative to say at all to be honest, so it's a +1 from me

Perhaps not a Minecraft mod for GMod, but maybe an actual GG Minecraft server? You never know, one day maybe....
The best thing about GG DarkRP is that it's one of the most vanilla servers around, rather than containing a crazy amount of mostly silly and pointless addons (which other servers have). That, and the community here, is what makes GG DarkRP number 1 in my books

I suggested (when the chef was added) that food should give some kind of temporary perk, for example, eating a burger gives you the “Fatty-boom-boom-bullet-sponge” perk, which decreases your walking / running speed significantly but adds extra health. I don’t think a hunger bar would be good though, especially if I die from starvation while taking sits lol
Also, if you had to leave your base to get food, a raider could literally besiege a base, waiting for either the baser to leave or die of starvation in order to raid.

Neutral, perhaps +1 with more info....
Funny enough, I'm almost certain that Mayor elections were a thing back in the early days of DarkRP many years ago. If you play DarkRP in single player (so totally boring-vanilla) then they are still a thing now in the game mode by default. So I'm assuming it was removed for some reason? Perhaps to encourage the hitman / assassin job roles? I do like the idea though, it could be really quite interesting, but I'm also interested in why it may have been removed as I can't think of anything off the top of my head right now. So I'll update my post with either a proper +1 or -1 as I learn more

Good hours, awesome application, well liked in the community, never had any issues at all. I think you’d be a great staff member
-
Awesome update! And the performance boost is awesome. To be fair, my FPS has never been an issue (other than when the RPG death match event took place) but any boost is always appreciated
Love the fixes too, so glad we can buy perks after switching jobs now. Great work as always

So with the new DarkRP tax update, I got a $5.00 tax bill and decided to evade it

Completely agree
Given that the cinema is now back, and we're making full use of it, it would be awesome to be able to sit down in the cinema. Also, would sitting-down prevent being slayed for being AFK? Like while watching a movie?

How did you find Garnet?
in General Discussions
Posted
I used to play GMod and DarkRP many years ago when I was still in school (I’m 28 now). I used to love it back then, having a laugh and meeting decent people and setting up gun stores etc. This was back when GMod wasn’t a big game and nothing like it is now.
Then towards the end of 2020 I decided to see if DarkRP was still going, and to my surprise it was! Me and my brother tried a few different servers, but the amount of silly addons that they had put me off as it was so different from my memories. Then I found Garnet which was much more vanilla and closer to what I remembered. I met a few others in game who helped me set up a base and remember how to actually play, I think one of them is called Scortch and I bought him a D’Lore for helping me out.
My brother didn’t stick around as it wasn’t really his thing, but I fell in love with DarkRP all over again and played on and off. Last year I put a ton of time into actually getting to know people and playing more seriously (rather than opening a casual gun store or working as PD now and then). Now I’m a L.Mod and have some good mates, to the point where I might fly over to the US to say hello at some point
