  1. I'm commenting before most votes so this comment could be irrelevant soon, but if the final vote is Omega, will there be a removal of the massive walls and arches? Personally that was the biggest issue, with the choke points. 

    Also I'd recommend Construction be replaced with another objective, as it became just a massive headglitching sniper point, that made people's experiences in Mosque wars worse, both SOC and base faction

  2. I'm going to address your confusion from the perspective of the current rules so as to clarify the confusion for yourself and anyone else in a similar position:

    people say goats are KOS during war

    During wartime, ROEs state you can shoot at anyone (except teammates technically)

    "Do not shoot at anyone unless it is in a war"

    some people say goats can have PTE

    Goats are able to be granted PTE, as GA I have told all my Officers I don't want anyone granting PTE to Goats, as it makes very little RP sense and the Goat class is a minge class

    10 hours ago, Oldie said:

    Goats are apparently prohibited from using the one swep that comes with the class, and if you hit someone with the goat scream that is counted as RDM

    The swep causes damage. Same rules regarding RDM and ROE apply to Goats as they do anyone on the server, and as Goats have no claimed areas (and cannot claim as no rank structure) there is no scenario the ROE permits them to do damage other than War.

    Secondly, although sitting on heads is failRP, with the goat playermodel, you can sit on the back and ride it, which should not be failRP

    This is the first part of your paragraph that would enact an effective change to rules. As of this moment, you cannot sit on the head as there is no differentiation made to exclude Goats from this, but as Eli has already said, if this were to change it would need limitations.

    If you wanted to be realistic, adults don't ride goats because it would harm the goats

     

    I understand the desire to give Goats more freedom, as they are a minge class. However, I personally don't feel Goats should be excluded from (specific) server rules, as there is plenty of minging one can do on a Goat class at the moment anyway.

  3. +1

    You've been back for a couple weeks now, and you were a perfectly good staff member last time. Frankly don't see why you shouldn't get staff again, sure some people aren't sure about your activity lately but as a T. Mod you'd have to show activity anyway.

    It's sometimes incredible to read takes like this because you're saying that Oatlife is worse than this player, because Oatlife was honest and admitted to a wrongdoing during an appeal.

    Please read my full statement before telling me what I'm saying, and how that view I don't hold is wrong

    I've avoided responding to this appeal prior to your comment, because I'm neutral on the matter so felt I provided nothing to the appeal. I know Yurri has the potential to contribute, but I'm in no position to make that judgement, and that is the same position I had on Oatlife. My responses to you are a matter of explaining the situation better, not a declaration of support for this appeal.

    Just goes to show the bias within the staff 

    Part of these appeals is contribution to the server if they were unbanned. Some staff members know Yurri better than they know Oatlife, and are therefore better suited to determine if the person would contribute if unbanned, hence their response. (This is a presumption and I cannot speak for every staff member)

    Literally endorsing ban evading as staff.

    Clearly not, as that is what got him community banned.

    Same as oatlife whether you like it or not.

    Oatlife was not originally banned for ban evasion, then admitted in an appeal for Mass RDM that he has since ban evaded (admitting to deserving another perma ban in a perma ban appeal), whereas Yurri's appeal does not admit to further ban evasion.

  6. Don't need a dedicated RP faction during peacetime. GMs can set up classes and factions for any events they need. Having a static faction for this isn't worthwhile, really. The tools are there right now, it's just up to GMs and T. Admin+ to utilise the tools.

    And my reference to pay-off, even if I'm wrong and this was maintainable without affecting other factions, the plus side is just a little extra in events compared to factions being set up for single events.

    • Agree 4
  7. Personally I don't agree with this. Yeh it's a nice idea, but we're proposing another faction when realistically this won't work, especially not for the effort that would have to be put in.

    This seems like a significant amount of work on Garnet's part, and it's not going to have a big pay-off if it does work. In my opinion, the server doesn't need another faction and probably can't support another faction that's independent from the rest, particularly with the current popularity of the server. 

    Referring to your responses to Salmon, if that's the case then this faction wouldn't be used 90% of the time, and even when used it may consist of maybe 5 or so people maximum, which could have some effect but unless they're actually Tier 1 players (which would then harm both sides in the long-term) they won't be effectual in war.

    US SOC has grenades

    If the entire suggestion package Bishop made is to be implemented, then even base Tali faction has a form of equipment in Nitroglycerin, and giving almost all (not their Air Force) the Tali factions a class with equipment.

    The current state of US SOC equipment is Rangers have donator class with grenades (max 3), and GB has a class with Grenades (max 3), so if Bishop's suggestion is being implemented in full there would be a major difference in US v. Tali equipment.
    With that being said, my +1/-1 would depend on whether Tali classes will be identical to Bishop's suggestion, or if there'll be compromises.

  9. Accepted

    Your ban will be removed, but you will receive a server warn for Homophobia. Also due the ban appeal, and now the perfect clarity regarding this type of comment, any further breach of this rule will result in the 3-day ban punishment, and carry on with the order of punishments thereafter.

    It is also worth noting that lack of reading the rule does not excuse the behaviour, and your upbringing in a Southern state has no bearing on future punishments

    No where in the server rules does it state what we can or can't say

    Homophobic, racist, and other derogatory comments have always been against the rules.

    Currently the forum posts for MilitaryRP say for OOC only, however Garnet made an announcement since those were posted, clarifying the Community's stance on this type of incident, and they are not permitted in any form.

    What happened? (include any proof): During war I shot a guy and said surprise motherfucker, but on his screen he was dead for half a second and thought I was talking over his dead body, I also have lots of lag on that server so to me it looked like I said it as I shot him.
     
    Why should your ban be removed?: I wasn't trying to bug him or anything just the fact that he scared me and I was able to get a good angle and shoot him. But I was not talking over his body though I was saying this as I shot him.

    Your appeal ignores the actual reason you were banned, so it seems like you're just making stuff up. Also yeh, considering you were given a second chance this is bad that you receive 5 warns almost immediately then claim in your appeal it was for talking over a body during war

  12. Hopefully @Early6111 could verify the situation, but idk the chances of his response. If the situation is as you say, and the ban was for the saying of a racial slur in voice chat, then yeh I'd support this appeal. Personally just saying it once or twice would be a verbal so you were aware of the stance the server has on that sort of thing. 

    I do kind of want to add, as a matter of principle, whether it was you or your friends IRL who said it, it is your account and you are still responsible for it and the actions made on the server.

  13. Denied

    The clip provided clearly shows a crouch jump in War. The rules state crouch-jumping in war is FailRP, and Staff may warn you for it providing they have a clip as evidence, and the clip was provided above.

    Playtime? [minimum 75 hours, use /playtime in-game]:17 days

    | 2GA RFR SNS Valentin has played for 17:18:29.

    That means 17 hours, not 17 days. You're still quite short of the required time for staff

  15. I'm remaining neutral on this staff app but I'll still give my thoughts.

    I don't really have any concerns over your ability as a Staff member, you've done it before with no real issues in your position as Staff, but I feel this might not be the right time to return to the Staff team. As you concede, you're still a somewhat controversial figure in MRP and that's why I'm not comfortable giving this App a +1. In my opinion, someone's image on the server is one of the most important aspects when applying for Staff, so I'd suggest working on that before becoming a member of the team.

    Edit: I've since remembered, at the time of the DF post, you told me you didn't care about Russia's struggles because you were a US main, and that's why you made the DF post. I'd also wanna see something that suggests such a viewpoint on the server has changed. I don't know if your viewpoint has or hasn't changed on that, so I really can't give a +1 to this app.

    I also agree with Salmon though, if you were to apply for GM then that's different and I probably would give it a +1.

    Despite claiming the mass was an accidental mousebump, the kill logs clearly show 2 separate Matador feeds, which is clearly intentional Mass and as a Veteran player the punishment is fitting.

    Can you elaborate what steps have been taken here on the thread then or what options are being considered? You can't just say "steps are being taken" without elaborating and then expect for us to all believe you. There needs to be more communication about this than what you're currently giving us.

    There's always a reason stuff isn't made public. I know first-hand the irritation of not knowing exactly what's going on with a faction with issues, with Camo's Army, however in my scenario I was a member of Army and still didn't know the full details, but I didn't make a forum post complaining about the faction. I waited to see what staff would do, and didn't expect major results in less than a week, and the end result of Jake's steps was Army dominating the server. Not saying DF is gonna dominate the server, but you have to have patience and realise you don't know all the details, and probably never will beyond rumours from someone who heard something.

    This post is Stork complaining because he feels he is owed a greater explanation on what's happening to a faction he's not even in.

  19. What I'm saying is that the issue has been noticed, steps are being taken, there are multiple options Jake could take and he will take necessary ones.

    I tried to explain some of your issues yesterday in Teamspeak, and you effectively just told me to shut up.

    In regards to Jake, he won't tell you every option he's considering, and he may want to give the current crop of DF a chance first, so of course you're not going to be satisfied with his response, but that doesn't mean Jake's ignoring the issue.

    either it hasn't been noticed or the Executive(s) aren't taking initiative to fix the problem.

    Has been noticed, but it's not as simple as 'wipe DF' or any other dumb quick 'fix'

    It very easily can just gotta think longer and harder about it.

    Jake, as the SA, has already heard the same whining this post contains, so this post will just be disregarded or seen as an irritation, nothing more

     

    Also it's worth noting that the wider community isn't going to be given a detailed plan of exactly what staff is planning all the time regarding any faction. If you expect one, then you really don't know how anything is run
