Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs]
First off, Id like to say thank you for taking the time to read my application. I believe that I could be a valuable member of the staff team for this community for several reasons that I will explain. I am mature, dedicated, and a loyal member of the Garnet Gaming Community and I would like to do my part in giving support to ensure the server continues to operate smoothly and efficiently.
First, I am mature. I notice that a large percent of the players population is on the younger side. I am 20 years old and have life experiences that made me a more understanding, reasonable, and mature person. (not that that has much to do with staffing on a Garry's mod server) but my point is that I know how to be the middleman in arguments and how to reasonably solve them in which both parties are either satisfied or given the corrective action required. I am a United States Marine and I am in a position above other marines, On many occasions, Marines under my command have had problems or arguments with one another that I have had to step in as the middleman and resolve. In terms of staffing on Garnet Gaming, I will be fair in my judgement of situations. I will not allow players to argue in sits when the verdict is quite clear. I have noticed in some of my own sits, the other player and I continue to talk about the situation even after clear evidence has been presented such as screenshots or video recordings.
I have previously been staff on Garnet Gaming years ago. I remember how to be a good staff member, I remember how to take sits, and handle issues between players. I will have to brush up on the correct punishments for each rule violation as it has been so long but my memory will come back to me. I have been playing on Garnet Gaming for several years with a year break in between. I have over 600 hours on the server and plan to continue playing on it. I have supported the server in my years of active participation monetarily (not that it should matter), but my point is that I am invested in the server and have no intent on leaving any time soon or jeopardizing my ability to play the server in any way.
I value garnet gaming and its community. It has been a big part in my time on Garry's Mod. I plan to invest more time into the server if I am accepted as a member of the staff team. I know I have only recently came back to the server as of two months ago, but it is good to see all of the fresh faces on the sever. Players like TheDudeAbides and exg vapr will remember me as CodyTheGamerDude
Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details:
Yes I have been banned once on this server for mass RDM. I was inside my base and the police were outside. I was warranted, and the police continued to NLR to my base. The warrant expired as I had been defending from them. I had taken some damage from what I presumed to be the police and I had returned fire and killed the players I believed had shot me, but turns out I shot two people who had not shot me and one more in the crossfire making it three RDMs. It was a misunderstanding and a mistake on my part. I have learned from my ban and I know what I did was wrong and will be sure to pay more attention to who I am firing at. Overall, the situation of the police NLRing and warranting my base cause me to stop thinking normally and I was just trying to defend my base.
My ban is not an indicator of my character. I never intend to break the rules of the server. I play as a CP quite often and am accused of false warranting quite frequently. Each time, I have video or screenshot evidence ready to provide to the staff team. I am always sure to prevent breaking rules, however I made a mistake and have since learned from it.
Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: none since my original staff term years ago.
How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: a rough guess of 15-20 hours a week. I work from 4am - 2:30pm and after that I am free to play the server.
If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? I play guitar, draw, and I am a United States Marine.
Did you read the staff rules?: CodyMFG
