-1 I’m of the opinion that behavior has to improve before people are given opportunities rather than giving an opportunity and hoping someone shapes up. There are too many negative encounters, both personally and second hand, that I have heard for me to support your app at this time. Improve your server image as well as how you approach adversity and you have a shot.

Sixthhh!!!!

Thirds!!

First!

Still don’t see “Star Wars - Cantina Theme 10 Hours” but sh_indian_pop_source.lua has caught my eye. The parrying update is absolutely HUGE for saber combat and brings a much larger degree of skill into duels. Thank you so much for that and of course the entirety of the update.

It's happened... It's finally happened.

Gah damn you more than tripled the update from last night. Loving the addition of new maps and the Voice Amp will finally allow people more than 3 rows back to hear in Debrief.

What is to be added: I’m suggesting that a saber labeled “Event Saber” be added that has access to every form and every force ability. How will it benefit the server: This gives GM’s access to the entirety of our Sentinel WiltOS and they can dictate what form(s) and force powers the event characters can use. There are a variety of forms that GMs can have their ECs use according to their plan as well as a large range of force powers. A GM can dictate that the EC is a fledgling force user and has no more than something like med/CH and force jump. Or a very well versed dark side user capable of using a dev. The possibilities are quite high with the addition of a saber like this and the creation is relatively simple. TL:DR - Gives GMs more flexibility in the kits they assign to Force users. Additional Info / Code: N/A at this time but I can provide code for forms included with the saber if needed.

+1 and referral if GM's can refer staff members. If not, let me refer him as the Manager/SA over him when he was an Admin. He's very aware of when to be serious and when he can shoot the shit. As Garnet said, I tried to tell him being a GM would be much more impactful and needed. Staff usage on our SWRP is fairly minimal and I'm still going to try and convince you to change your app to a GM one. Either way, good luck and +1.

The dream of being able to dolphin dive and bipod LMGs anywhere will continue to be pushed back But a new map thread though

With MARSOC being introduced, then the US side can just be Marine Raiders. Afghan could be ISI. Just throwing ideas out there. Personally, I’m for the suggestion. I know it’s another class/faction re-work and Garnet will want to test the strength of his desk with his forehead. However I have to agree that the airborne factions should be substituted with something that can actually be utilized. THEN, have a head pilot on each side who can certify a few pilots per faction to make sure there are people capable of flying the seldom times that aircraft are actually used. As to the granular details: guns, models, names, etc. that can all be workshopped. People should focus in on the nucleus of the post. Get rid of airborne and replace them with usable, first life factions. Then have a few pilot certified people per country who can step in as needed to fly.

Only because you spawn thick ass droids

+1 I won’t quote @Jake’s post but what he said is correct. Krimzin approached me asking if I’d entertain a deal similar to Pencil’s. Obviously I had involvement in his infraction so I told him I’m not comfortable handling that alone, so let’s bring in Jake. What Jake mentioned is true. I believe we both had positive experiences with krimzin and believed that he was no longer a threat but still had to earn his unban. We agreed that a successful case against a high profile member would result in his unban. Unfortunately the content didn’t provide enough to act but it’s impossible to deny that the effort was there. He reached out and was proactive in trying to prove that he wanted what’s best for the server. On top of that, believe me when I say that Jake and I’s terms were quite strict and restricting, even in the event he was unbanned. On a personal note, I know Krim. He and I have known each other for going on 3.5 years. I’ve seen him at his peak, and seen him at his trough. Despite the people around him, he’s never allowed the majority to influence his behavior. He made a mistake, myself included. He’s someone I truly believe would be able to return and contribute to the server. The threat of a repeat offense is incredibly low with him and the possibility of him positively contributing to the server is actually quite high, contrary to this peers.

Ooh I know guns! Here’s an idea that y'all can give feedback on. Pistol: Literally don’t need to be touched. Would just be nit-picking tbh. Only thing you should entertain is lowering effective range on normal pistols to circa 50m and the Deagle(s) & MR96 to 75m. Sub-Machine Gun: This is simple. If you want to have SMGs outclass other weapon sectors, they need a higher DPS (DPS = Damage x Firerate/60). So you either up the damage or up the firerate until you’re around 450. Cause last I updated my weapon database, most ARs were about 380-410 and you definitely don’t want to overtune the weapon class. If you’re worried about them outclassing the other sectors in all scenarios, they should have the highest spread. The numbers; Damage = 25-30 depending on magazine size. You want balance and not realism so fuck calibers. Firerate = 900-1080 aka SWEP.FireDelay 60/900 - 60/1080 depending on the damage. Again, this revolves around the DPS goal of 450. Spread per shot = 10% aka SWEP.SpreadPerShot = 0.010 Max Aim Spread = 40% aka SWEP.MaxSpreadInc = 0.040 Recoil = 20% aka SWEP.Recoil 0.6 Assault Rifle: ARs are in a decent state right now but can use a little adjustment. So let’s stick with a 380-400 DPS goals for ARs and obviously less spread than our SMG class so that their strength increases as range does. The numbers; Damage = 40-42 this can just scale with your Tier System or just random. Will obviously have a negative correlation with Firerate Firerate = 550 - 600 aka SWEP.FireDelay 60/550 - 60/600 Spread per shot = 7% aka SWEP.SpreadPerShot = 0.007 Max Aim Spread = 20% aka SWEP.MaxSpreadInc = 0.020 Recoil = 40-45% aka SWEP.Recoil = 1.2-1.35 Battle Rifle: THIS is where we can really reward the players who are adept at controlling recoil. Biggest bullet, longest barrel, and ooc smallest magazine. So these guys will have the least Aim Spread, but the punch they pack will be met with the highest recoil. The numbers: Damage = 47-49 which again can range based on tiers, donator vs faction, etc. Firerate = 450 - 475 which once again will have a negative correlation with damage. Yes, I know this results in a 360-375 DPS as opposed to the ARs 380-400. But believe me when I say that through thousands of hours of gameplay that the lower firerate will be greatly preferred when coupled with the higher recoil that comes with BRs. Also, 49 damage is an absolute hard cap on any automatic weapon, as 50 just opens the door for an incredibly unbalanced gameplay. Spread per shot = 5.5% which is where its at. Max Aim Spread = 10% aka SWEP.MaxSpreadInc = 0.010 Recoil = 55-60% aka SWEP.Recoil = 1.65 - 1.80 Designated Marksman Rifle: Literally perfect but maybe make sure all of their damage is at least 75. Sniper Rifle: Nerf the Mosin and Orsis to 90 damage and make sure both countries have the same amount of 125 damage & 10 shot snipers. Light Machine Gun: Could definitely use a good bit of changes. AFAIK they still all have over 100% Max Aim Spread which just renders them absolutely useless. They should have medium damage with a high firerate. To quell that, medium spread and high recoil. The numbers: Damage = 34-38 Firerate = 700-800 aka SWEP.FireDelay 60/700 - 60/800 Spread per shot = 10% aka SWEP.SpreadPerShot = 0.010 Max Spread Inc = 20% aka SWEP.MaxSpreadInc = 0.020 Recoil = 70-80% aka SWEP.Recoil = 2.1 - 2.4 Explosives: Not in the loop enough to comment. Melee/General: Fulfills its’ role just fine.

Hey man I didn’t bitch to you since the first day I already made peace with being 7 points behind but I love seeing the change amongst the rest of the update.

In-game name: P-117 CBM SFC 1136 Shade Age: 26 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:98542905 Warns: N/A Timezone: PST Playtime?: | P-117 CBM SFC 1136 Shade has played for 100:48:45. About 80 of those hours are post-reboot. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): Tdizz Past experiences as a Game Master: No formal experience with a GM Rank. As a Manager/SA on MRP, I periodically held IC & OOC events. Why should we choose you over other applicants? The biggest edges I have over other applicants are my ability to adapt and willingness to improve myself. It's no secret that shit doesn't always go as planned when free will exists. Players may make mistakes, fail rolls, or I fail to properly set up an aspect of the event. I have the composure and just general aptitude to be able to roll with the punches and keep the event running smoothly. I've proven throughout my time here on Garnet that I'm more than capable of absorbing setbacks and bouncing back to contribute in a positive manner. Another way of looking at adaptability is how versatile I can be in creating RP. I can work with superadmins and I can work with the CT with 12 minutes of playtime. I can create a fleshed out, multi-planet campaign and I can create janitor RP. I’m able to read the room and see what sort of event works best given the circumstances. A skill that I believe also sets me apart from my peers. The second point, the desire to improve myself. I've never been one to shut out or silence criticism. I openly encouraged people to criticize, disagree (if they mean it of course), and to embrace discussion. I feel it's a way that people, especially myself, grow. I will strive to take the feedback from my peers and colleagues and allow it to better me as a GM instead of taking it as some personal attack. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? Banned for cheating in March of 2019 on MRP. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Roughly 1 - 3 hours a day on weekdays. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: I feel the only answer is "content creator". Our job is to create content for the player base. We need to be the catalyst for roleplay and action that will help retain the players we do have and attract the new players who join. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I'd bring creative, constant ideas and events to the team. I'm on early (for PST folks, mid-morning for EST folks) and can help jumpstart pop early in the morning, which will result in a higher peak. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: To whomever is dealing or involved with the application, PM me on discord or the forums. I have an entire doc for you that I'd prefer to keep secret. Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation] #1: “Outer Banks” (rp_vanqor_sbs) Naval received a mayday call from a Venator out in the Outer Rim. The signal was scratchy at best but they could make out that the Venator claimed to have been shot down. A Venator going down is a monumental loss to the Republic and an immediate cause for alarm. Not many things can take one down. The Admiral will immediately order the forces to LAAT’s and leave for Planet Vanqor. Once the FOB has been settled near the crash, engineers will be tasked with examining the ships navigation deck and determining the cause of the crash. While half work on the ship evaluation, the other half of the engineers will work on getting a landing pad and the Republic ships ready. Medics will attempt to find survivors and gather corpses from the wreckage. EODs will be evaluating the crash to make sure no secondary explosions or other dangers could occur. While this is going on, a massive explosion will strike the planet and a plethora of Tri-fighters and vultures descend upon the planet. Pilot squadron and certified pilots are ordered to drop everything and man their ships and fill their gunner slots. This is the bulk of the combat for this event. A long drawn out dogfight. After some scrambling, Engineers will be able to scrap together some AA guns after some appropriate rolls. After the fight is over. Engineers will return to reviewing the downed Venator to find the real cause of the crash. #2: “Stockpile” (rp_noclyria_crimson) CIS insurgents have taken over the military outpost and have been exploiting slave labor to stockpile weapons and supplies. A debrief will be hosted. 501st/212th will be the main infantry units storming the compound. Behind them will be 104th, while 327th begin to set a perimeter on the inside of the compound whilst 41st/91st set up on the outside. 501st will set up a medical room after the building has been cleared and conduct some MedRP whilst GM’s begin the second stage of the event. Before the compound was cleared, the on-scene CIS Commander was able to get out an SOS. Reinforcements are rapidly on the way, and they are bringing quite the arsenal to get this pivotal stronghold back. GMs will spawn a C-9979 (or whichever passes best as a CIS transport vessel). From that ship, tanks, aircraft, and drop pods will be spawned aplenty. This one will be VERY HIGH intensity and all troopers/navy/jedi’s will only have one life. They need to act tactically and work cohesively in order to hold the base. #3: “Contagion” Either the 91st or 41st Battalion will be sent on a general scouting mission. As they near Outpost Zeta, there will be a massive explosion inside the outpost. They will report the explosion and be ordered to investigate and evaluate the damage. Inside the main building of the outposts, they will find numerous corpses. Some charred, some in what look like hazmat suits, and some turned to ash. The battalion on scene will gather evidence on the chemicals at the lab, recover all the bodies, and RTB with the help of 19thAW. On the way to base, the recovering battalion will start to experience symptoms. The symptoms are TBD and for good reason. This virus is going to be mutating every 5 minutes upon arrival to the medbay. The better the rolls, the more obvious the symptoms will be and Medics can cure the diseases before the virus mutates once more. #4: The Defector A high pay-grade Naval officer has defected to the Separatists after Dooku gave him quite an offer of money and power. After receiving the news, the Admiral immediately calls an emergency debrief. The information the defector has could be crippling to the Republic. All available forces outside of CG will be ordered to immediately begin investigating his possible whereabouts. Battalions will be sent to Village, Aurek, Zeta, and Radio Tower. Upon arriving at RT, the troopers there will receive a transmission… from an unlikely source. Cad Bane has heard of our unfortunate predicament and is willing to sell information to us. For such a “betrayal” to the CIS, he demands 5 million republic credit. 2.5 now and 2.5 after the defector is dealt with. The defector has been transported to Geonosis and will be meeting with the top brass of the Separatists 2 days. Bane gives the coordinates for the base on Geonosis. The Admiral holds a debrief to prep for departure. Upon arriving on Geonosis, there will be some OOC organization so no one runs off. Once the battalions are organized, a quick briefing will take place. As usual 212th/501st run point with 41st/91st scouts taking inventory of any hostiles. 104th Controllers will join the scouts after they’ve been told it's clear to move. The other 104th and all of 327th will cover 212th/501st’s rear. Once the compound is located. Any available snipers will be asked to get into position and fire on one singular mark in order to maximize shock and awe. Once the raid begins, units will tactically storm the compound and search for the Defector. In the innermost part of the compound he’ll be waiting, cyanide pill in hand. The attackers may be tempted to just let him croak… until he reveals that he has info regarding CIS movements. If he reveals that info, the Separatists will surely attack and kill his family. Troopers will have to persuade the Defector to put down the pill and share the CIS info. #5: Gold Rush The Galaxy’s 32nd richest man has passed away with no next-of-kin. With his dying breath, he gave 7 riddles to detail the locations of 7 fortunes he’s scattered across the Galaxy. One such riddle begins here on Anaxes. The clue states: ###########. The Republic has an idea of where to start, but that means so do the Separatists. Players will have to work together to decipher clues, and fight off the CIS army as they work their way to the final clue. Where what lies might not be what they expected.

Scoobs

I know I’m not around anymore but I don’t think these comments could come from a worse ideology. Let me first acknowledge that variety is the spice of life and I, as someone with 7k+ hours on MRP, definitely understand how new and pretty things are alluring. However I also can look at this from an executive and owner point of view. No one is forcing you to play this map. No one is forcing you to get on and play a video game, server, or map that you don’t want to. With that said, there is a significant amount of people holding the server hostage. “I won’t play unless the map changes ” Go fuck yourselves. Do you know how whiny and ungrateful you all sound. Leave. Resign from your position. Don’t take an “indefinite LOA”. Leave. Don’t be some selfish asshat holding a position of power hostage because you don’t like the map. If you aren’t going to play, leave. Resign. Give someone else who is willing to stick it out and play the opportunity to run your faction, take your officer spot, etc. This suggestion is now calling for a 3rd map change to be on the calendar. The suggestion and all this outcry for a map is so god damn selfish it’s crazy. You’re all saying I play this game for me and me only. Fuck trying to help the server in a time of volatility, I’m just going to cling to a position and not play until something new happens. Phenomenal example of why I completely understand Garnet’s frustration is the Tali update. He changed an entire country at the drop of a hat in order to keep the server spicy and appease the player base. How did pop react? As always, a good spike in the beginning and then it tapers off as the excitement fades. So why should he, in the middle of dealing with a fucking family emergency, devote time to yet another map change when history has shown that it yields very temporary results. And in addition, the people asking for the change are literally taking pop hostage. Y’all fucking wild man I swear.

Yeah, but if I understood you correctly, the score increases perpetually. Which will be an awesome way to pay homage to the players who continue to play for months/years and at a high level. Really dope feature imo.

Lowkey why I want to name my first son Seth. As you mentioned, this game is one of the best in the series. Being the only installments where you’re able to capture your opponents Pokémon was awesome.
