+1 Has been doing great in the past RP events wise and that's definitely something we should go back to if possible. Would love to work together with him in the future.

+1 Decent guy in-game and has knowledge about the server overall. Not sure why these other guys are acting so weird but pretty sure they're holding some personal grudge against you. I am certain you will do great on the staff team. Our interactions in-game can be counted on one hand, but you've definitely shown to me that you care about the server and that you want to help other players.

It would only make sense to change the section of RU to Taliban - since we don't have RU anymore lol. +1

I would honestly want to see a bit more of how you have so called 'changed' in game and how you do around groups of people. Being a GM carries a lot of responsibilities and I am not too sure if you would be able to handle it all so well as of this moment. Genuinely curious as to how you are right now and how you have changed, but I have second thoughts about this application, given what I have seen from you. -1

+1 Naas is an absolute unit when it comes down to server affairs. Man actually cares about helping out newer players and actually give them a good glance at what we do here and how they can get better. Have been staff with him previously, always has been a great help. Good luck.

+1 Good experiences, has good intentions for the server overall. Pretty active as well, which can only be a good thing. Good luck on your application!

No need to feel sorry - that's where the responses are for. The "first time" I described was not suddenly though, people were aware and I was already resigned as a staff member. I took a break from the server as many of us have done in the past. I was thinking that you meant that occasion when you said "it's normal", which is why I wanted to clarify that the "disappearing" only happened once and gave an explanation as to why I was wrong and how I will do better. Again though, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. Just want to put it out there so that you know what was going on and not just base anything off of rumours.

As I stated before, I understand the concern of what I did when I disappeared. However, stating that it's "normal" for me to disappear is something that's simply not true. The first time I took a break from the server was several weeks after I resigned as expected. Everyone in my faction knew that I was taking a break because of stuff that happened. The second time, I agree with you, I did not pull the smartest move by just pulling away from it all. Several people knew what was going on still. Now, I am not trying to question your -1, you can do whatever you want and I agree with your statement about what I did - it was wrong. Nonetheless do I want to emphasize my statement about me having the time and actual motivation this time around. The time I got T. Mod again was actually during a time I did not really play on the server that much. I'll let the people who deal with this application make the decision, but I just had to put this out here before people are acting on just rumours.

Ghost class has 3 spots and since the Commander class has it now as well, that's another 3. So 6 people in total at a time. People barely play on Ghost though, most of the Rangers play on either Commander (if officer) or Combat Medic (if titan). The rest plays Rifleman or Field Medic.

I would agree with these changes but not with the sniper suggestion. Why would you only make the T1 & .50 cal sniper a oneshot kill? Take Rangers for example. A faction that is literally based around sniping and reconnaissance. You would take away the ability to actually do their jobs by making their sniper kind of garbage to use. I think everything else is worth it, but while also taking the 'roleplay' factor in mind and not only the PvP factor, I do not think that making just the T1 a reliable sniper is a good idea. I'd say either give Rangers a reliable sniper like the US T1 or do not touch the L115 or whatever sniper Rangers will be getting at all - it doesn't make a heavy difference in any combat scenario anyways.

+1 Definitely should help their numbers indeed. This way US mains can just stay on US and not hop over to Taliban every war almost.

Yeah I understand your concern, that's why I stated it on my application. I can a 100% promise everyone that's reading this application that I have the time and dedication to fully commit towards this role and will not disappear as I did before. It was a struggle with time because of work and just not feeling like dealing with online responsibilities anymore. This will not happen a second time. I am fully motivated to help out the server to bring it back to some what of a roleplaying environment again. Also thank you for your response Velo, appreciate it.

Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): [What Gamemaster recommended you to apply?] BenZ, Statiic Past experiences as a Game Master: I have been a T. Admin before where I did small scaled events. Why should we choose you over other applicants? I should be chosen as a Game Master this time around simply because I think I can heavily contribute to the entertainment side of the server. Events have been rare these days around on the server and as a 'roleplay' server, I do think that that should not be the case. I will involve myself in several roleplay focused events together (hopefully) with other GMs that have the same look on the server as I do. Gamemasters are basically the first ambassadors for the roleplay aspect on the server, and it's been lacking heavily. I have experienced how gamemasters can turn the tide of activity on the server by hosting quality events and that is exactly what I am planning on doing. I will be actively looking for community feedback on events, what they like and how they would like to get involved in those events. Based on this I could set up eventual campaigns that will include all factions if that's asked for by the community. Basically why I should be accepted is because I will take the community's desires into consideration constantly when thinking about entertainment and ways to promote roleplay on the server. I am fully aware of the weird way I left the community a few months ago when I was still enrolled in the Trial Mod programme, but I am fully back now and would like to call upon faith and trust in my capabilities. I have the time and motivation to contribute to the role and I am honestly willing to commit more time than I actually have (like, deadass) to help regain some of the special military feelings on this server. This describes another one of the reasons why I should get chosen on the current GM team - simply my willingness to commit that much time towards quality events and my overall activity on the server. This gives me perfect insight on what the players want and how we can bring back some roleplay on here. I will uphold professionalism and will literally always listen to the community, as I am expected in this role once accepted. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? No, I have not. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: If accepted I will actively contribute every day for around 6-7 hours. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: Gamemasters are pretty much responsible for ensuring players have something to do on the server during peacetimes and they are there to ensure we have an actual roleplay aspect besides the PvP way of things. If there are no Gamemasters on, it basically dies out the server. I see the gamemaster team as the events team for example on a resort. Doing small scaled games with kids on a resort, or large resort wide events that anyone could participate in so no one gets bored out and gets a special time by visiting that resort - that is exactly what Gamemasters are expected to do. Give the players one hell of a time every time they log on and that should be the reason players come back to this server eventually. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I would contribute to RP by introducing back the campaigns that we used to have on the old Omega and pretty sure a short while on Delta. Gamemasters used to think out like storylines for the US and RU to engage in and that actually contributed pretty nicely to the RP part of the server. With some help of the faction leaders I would like to bring back operations and help bring back the use of information documents as something SOC factions work together on. I was very happy with how RP got enforced on Delta and wanted to become a big part of it back then, but unfortunately my chances were taken away by denial - this time around I hope I can actually get a chance to implement what I have in mind for the server. Campaigns and eventual small scaled RP events during the early hours will definitely be something that symbolizes my tenure as GM if accepted, so that's how I will directly impact the use of RP on the server this time around. Please list and explain 3 unique event ideas designed for only your side to take part in: (IC) [ Operation Retrieve Ambassador ] An Ambassador of the United Nations has landed at the airbase that has been called abandoned for so long already, while it apparently is still in use according to the UN's agenda. This Ambassador however was unable to make his way to the F.O.B of the United States as planned for diplomatic reasons to ensure peacekeeping between the world and the Taliban. The highest commanding officer on the F.O.B will recieve word from an unknown source that the Ambassador has been captured by a group of Taliban and is now kept as a hostage at the same airbase. There will be a briefing and they will need to use different tactics to make sure the Ambassador doesn't get hurt in any way. This event will be an NPC event (only US will be involved), but it will be heavily coordinated by at least 2 GMs to make sure that the commanding officers make RP decisions and it will evolve around decisions they make. If the Ambassador gets hurt, this will have impact on the next events for the US side, they will be unable to get access to extra reinforcements for example as the government will not have faith in regaining influence in the area. However, if the Ambassador is able to get out of the airbase without getting hurt or killed - and by intensive teamwork - this will have some benefits for the US side eventually. Once the Ambassador has been brought back to the US base, negotiations will commence and the Taliban will be contacted, the Ambassador will be able to complete the task he eventually came for. (IC) [ Special Reconnaissance ] This event will include the majority of the SOC factions on the US side and is some kind of follow up on the event described above. The influence of the Taliban has been growing in the region and the US government wants to get intelligence on how to reduce that influence and how they can regain control of this region and eventually help them end the conflict - the Ambassador has been unsuccessful. There has been called for a meeting with the local tribes but this did not end up very well, as they still sided with the Taliban. Therefore, the US government decided to give the green light for a special SOC operation. The 75th Ranger Regiment and the 1stSFODD have been called upon to gain intelligence by keeping an eye on the base of the Taliban in this region and to gain an enemy target by kidnapping them. This target will be interrogated and certain information will NEED to be gained for this event. The target will be an actor that gives out certain information if the right questions are asked and the US SOC will need to use this information to uncover a massive planned bomb attack on their F.O.B. If this interrogation is successful, they will need to carry out an assassination on a tribes leader in construction. Intensive teamwork will be necessary and the NPCs that are guarding this place will be overpowered - not impossible to complete, but you can't go in all guns blazing. (OOC) [ Rogue Locals ] Now, this event is more one that could potentially be hosted during the early hours when there's barely people online. Some locals have gone rogue and are holding themself up at Factory. The 11B people that are available are called upon to clear them out and make sure their reinforcements do not reach vital positions within this area. This will also serve as a kind of training for re-capturing the Factory objective during war, having some kind of use for the US side combat wise. There will be NPCs on both floors of Factory and they will be put in spots that Taliban could hold during an actual war to prepare them. Reinforcements will enter through both entrances of Factory and will arrive once 11B has been properly set up with good spots. This event in no means will affect anything else I am planning on hosting - it's just for the early hours so that everyone has something to do and to still have some impact on 11B's development. Please list and explain 1 unique global event idea designed for the entire server to take part in: [ Regional Chaos ] During this event, both sides will be briefed on a mission. This mission will be introduced on the Taliban side by a very well known faction on this server, the old Vega group members. On the US side it will be told by the Ambassador of the United Nations that has been freed earlier on. The Vega group has arrived in the area because of the Russian interests in weapons that have been shipped in this area. An outpost has been setup behind the hills of Construction and is actively guarded by the Vega group operatives. They are calling upon the help of the Taliban forces to ensure their mission will be successful - what they are doing exactly in the name of the Russian government remains unknown. The US receives word of this outpost and will call upon SOC to scout out the area and see what is happening. The Taliban forces will move towards the outpost and hold spots on Construction (no weird ass headglitching allowed) to make sure the US cannot advance and stop the Vega group operatives from completing their mission. The US SOC will return to the base once they gained information on what is going on within the outpost and how many personnel the Taliban has deployed in that area. 11B will be briefed with this information and the commanding officers will set up several squads to take care of those forces near Construction. The Vega group operatives will be skilled players in combat while the Taliban forces will just be common players that are actually in their respective faction. The outcome of this event solely depends on the decisions everyone makes and how they will set up their squads and teams - decisions will be made by the commanding officers that are closely advised by the GMs that are hosting this event to make sure it doesn't become an absolute massacre. The event concludes when either the (2 lifes) US have been taken out or if the outpost has been breached and the interior has been destroyed.

-1 Reasons stated above, not sure who you are while I recently came back to US (and active every day). Bolster up your fame within the community, get your name out there. I can help 11B as well, cool beans, but I still wouldn't add jack shit to the server as a whole. Keep in mind that being staff is much more than upholding one side of the faction - you'll deal with toxicity from both sides and have to actually have an understanding of the situation at hand. Staff is not just about teleporting people to places and help out with sims and what not, yet that's the only thing you describe in your application. The powers to teleport other people shouldn't be your first priority, at all. First priority should be to improve player experience and that's something not everyone can add onto. Now there is definitely something that can be improved upon throughout the trial period of the trial moderator rank, I just don't think you would make a difference than other players currently on the server. My advice: Go make yourself known and make sure you actually understand what a staff tenure means - it's way different as to what you described in your paragraphs. Just wanting to become staff for teleports is a very bad reason to apply.

I did the exact same thing - although I just did a funny and disappeared without letting anyone know - main reason I'm not trying to make a great comeback. To cut the bullshittery, Dennis makes a fair point. You were given a second term as staff member and didn't do much with it. Maybe with your appointment to COL you have more motivation etc. for now, but how long will it last? What would be different now from then? I am not hating on you, you're absolutely amazing and you deserve a shot on the staff team again but people will possibly hold this against you (people that are higher up there). Putting that minor hickup aside, I would love to see Rust on the staff team again and make a difference on the server as much as a single individual possibly can. You're active, great to be around and you're showing newer players how good this server can be besides the toxicity that the PvP aspect brings with it from time to time. +1

I'm kind of hesitant on this application to say +1.. Don't get me wrong, you're an absolute unit of a guy and very active, but it's the ''hard'' moments that you need to look after yourself the most. For example, if war is unfair, you can say stuff that would be completely unacceptable as a staff member. Mingey behaviour within the early hours should also be kind of eased down a bit. Just keep doing what you're doing with 11B and get rid of the sidetracked bullshit that comes out of you sometimes and I'll be happy to give you a solid +1 on your application.

On a map like Delta this would be a way better idea. The way Omega is set up, not so sure. It's too small for helicopters to not become an inbalance if you ask me. War is unfun is also just an opinion you have, players that are enjoying PvP (main playerbase of Garnet MRP) will enjoy war still. They may have some complaints or mald sessions throughout, but without it they'll be bored from the server too quick. The switch to Omega has improved the war setting in every way in comparison to Delta, let's not ruin it because some people do want to kill people but can not take the chance of getting killed while doing so. Keep AFSOC/AAF as an RP faction - as it was it's intention if I'm correct - it became a war faction because it became a one life system. But since you can be in multiple factions together with AFSOC/AAF now, just keep it for RP. There's plenty of stuff to do during peacetime for those factions if the will is there to do so. -1 for this suggestion from me.

I'd say lower the spread per shot while ADSing, making it still somewhat a skill to use in CQC - can't just spray someone down without aiming. SMGs have been unusable for a fairly long time after the notorious SMG buff on Delta (never forget the absolute monster the G36 was) - while still being applied on many classes. It's stuff like this that forces people to use donator weapons over class weapons which is kind of sad.

+1 Monkey Admin should make his return. Jokes aside, Miller is a great guy and is definitely capable of getting in the team again now that he's active again.

christopher crippin?

lick nuts buddy you finally pulled the funny!

Love you man, we'll still speak each other. Not a goodbye, just for the garnet gamers.

+1 Great guy overall and like almost everybody before me has already stated: takes the server's efficiency very seriously and genuinely cares about helping out other players. Would definitely make a fine addition to the team.

Neutral Could be just me being solely on the US, but I haven't seen much of you as of yet. Like Acer already mentioned, try to get yourself more known with not only your faction members, but more with the community as a whole. Paragraphs are good, you know what you want and how you want to achieve it. You've also descibed how you would affect the server in a positive way - I just need more community confirmation on your part to be honest, since I don't really know how you are in-game.

+1 Oldie showed me how big that radius is, and it's actually insane and it comes to a point where you can only use it as artillery to be honest.
