Well for starters, the ability to give weapons again, the ability to spawn weapons/ ammo with your toolgun as opposed to having to type out full commands each time, the addition of other toolguns that can be used to add touches creatively to events (i.e. fire and sparks toolguns, i can see if i can find those addons but itll take me some time), The NPC spawn toolgun which will also allow you to set NPC HP as well as Proficiency, and will model override ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2425310927&searchtext=NPC+spawn+ ), The voice amplifier swep that will allow you to brodcast your voice to large areas/ whole server as opposed to having to either use chat or chain messages through teamspeak or something, Allowing GMs to spawn entities (I know that some trust will be needed before that can be enabled), Just a bunch of small QOL shit that would make everything much more efficient. We dont have to get crazy with new stuff all the time. Large scale addons that are used poorly will never outperform small scale stuff like this used creatively. Its like building a house. Doesnt matter what fancy stuff you put on top of it if the foundation is fucked to begin with.

> Be GM > People want RP events > Try to do RP events > People get mad cause no way to keep a large group involved in RP events without mindlessly spawning NPCs or super basic PVP events > Can only do DarkRP style builds for events cause no perms, can only communicate through chat or teamspeak as there is no quick way to get everyone on the same page (HINT: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=732867617) > Events destined to fail > Switch to PVP style events (FFA ect.) > Doommusic.mp3 > People like them cause they feel involved, mindless killing sure but fun time > Just make build and get people to murder each other, ez tendies > RPnerds get mad cause no RP events even though they suck due to lack of tools needed to make them more fun (giveweapon, effects toolguns, ect.) > Get told to do more RP events cause "RP will save the server 4head" > Yeah we all know where this goes > Everyone unanimously likes the combat more than the events cause events suck. GMs are blamed when they have almost nothing to work with nowadays. Rinse Repeat Victory. Lets be realistic here, with the current state of the server there is no possible way to get RP events to be engaging for newer players. None. There is barely enough organization on GM as is, and without the proper perms or any kind of RP training anything that they try to do in the Future will be destined to fail. Here is an old view only link to a set of Eventplanner (same as GM) documents from when I did a bunch of Star Wars RP stuff a few years back: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-Jqk8nOLYCAU0ZfDzMgIHywdZkpI-UUrpjT1HsKlPEI/edit?usp=sharing Yes i know MRP and Star Wars RP are different animals, but the premises behind GMing both are relatively the same. I am a lot more used to what GMing was like on this server, as we had WAAAAAAY more perms there than on Garnet, and we didnt even do forum applications for it. We just did in game tryouts and trained whoever passed them (to be fair most upper staff could set ranks as opposed to just SAs here so that style probably wont work.) I wont ramble too much about specifics unless asked, but long story short GMs need more perms. Straight and simple. We vet people through an application process on the forums and if that doesnt make us trust people more than I dont know what will. However Garnet isnt going to just take my word for it and while I dont agree with how little you trust people on the server Garnet I cant say you don`t have your reasons for it. Maybe if the GM team gets a bit more organized fundamentally then you might be able to trust them a little more. These are just my thoughts on the matter, you can take them or leave them as you will but I dont think any kind of RP elements on the server will improve without taking a look at the foundations and fundamentals of GMing as a whole. If you want me to dig up more addons and stuff from my old days let me know. Ill see what i can find. Voice amplifier SWEP though is an absolute must at minimum, as it will greatly improve communication between GMs and players. Link for that addon is above.

So its come, the day where I have to decide between my responsibilities IRL and my responsibilities in game with MRP. Long story short some opportunities have come up in my real life that would put my life forward tremendously and I intend wholeheartedly to jump at the opportunity. The issue is that this requires a lot of my time and i wont be able to spend 4-6 hours a day helping out on MRP. As much as it sucks and ive come to love and respect the community ive been a part of, I have to do what I feel will be more important for my future down the road. This wont be a complete and total goodbye as ill still be around from time to time, and i do intend to visit and check up on how the server is doing. But when it comes to GM and my responsibilities as faction leader ive hit the end of my road. While I cant get everyone in this post and I apologize if I miss some people, allow me to say some personal messages to you all. @Wyatt Youve been one of my closest friends on the server and youve done nothing but good for not just red group, but your also a wonderful person who helps out anyone who ever needs it. Red group is yours now, and i know youll do nothing but good with it. @AustinNot sure if your still around, but thanks for giving me the chance to prove myself and I hope that i didnt do ya wrong with the postiion ya gave me @ItssBioSuoer chill dude, wish ya stayed in red group but dems the brakes.

Thanks for the mentoring ya gave me when i first got colonel, helped me get used to the server environment @bishopilMans revived and stacked DF with the speed of the flash, Makes me mald to hell in wars but dudes super chill and i know youll keep doing well with DF. @MilkyThanks for stealing 5 of our dedicated members lmao, phenomenal GM and Colonel and probably one of the few who knows how to RP properly. Hope you keep up the great work going forward @eli_ (wheres jeremy? ) @NDB_I know your secret (also guess im resigning from AAF too LOL, good luck with the faction and i know youll do well in both AAF and Red Group) @Pyrex Dudes more mature than most on the server despite being half their age. Keep up the good work with Tali @Stoven0087 New addition to red group that we adopted from the special ed class (GB), super chill dude and will for sure see ya around @weasel Was the second in charge of the special ed classroom, cant find ya forum account but you keep it up in red group ya hear? @BenkeiHavent been able to talk too much to ya but your chill and will be great as a future officer @Green Left us for rangers L, welcome back to the server and hope things go well for ya @Serg Funny gun @AnthonyThwompus One of the many badri traitors, kinda what ya get when you promote faction progression lmao. hope everything goes well for ya and congrats on staff @TanhkBomber feeds were poggers, good luck in badri as well @Pillsburymans came outta nowhere, not sure how ya did it but getting into badri after failing our evals was suprising as hell and impressive as well. Keep up the great work with them @NutterAnd finally the fabled habibi himself. Thank you for putting the time and effort into all the new things for MRP even with all the struggles its been though. While I can understand the hardships the community goes through I thank you for not giving up on us quite yet. I hope everything improves with the new map change and that the server will prosper again, with the effort you put into it its what the server deserves. I wish you the best of luck

Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:64461629 Months active within the community: 10 (between both TTT and MRP) In what ways would I benefit the beta-testing session: I lead a CQC faction currently, and am very capable of creating/ discovering good and fair fight areas for use in such situations, as well as spotting and mitigating any super broken spots that can be found.

fat +1, someone I wished stayed in Red group as I wouldve given him an officer position in a heartbeat. Been a force in badri and would make an excellent addition to the team.

Anthony has done a lot inside and outside of tali to benefit the server, and was a great member of red group during his time with us. May have left us for a tier 1 like a traitor but hes been a super positive force for the server as a whole. +1

-1 Left Red Group for DF this man a fat traitor. Here to confirm my referral, Dude is an absolute stud and put a lot of work into not just red group but tali as a whole. He has shown a dedication to the server rivaled by few others and would make a wonderful addition to the team! +1

996

Easiest +1 of my life I dont think red group thrives at all without wyatt being there. Hes been a major positive influence on the faction and hes always helping with whatevers needed of him. I cant think of anyone right now who would be better suited for the position than wyatt, and with all the effort hes put into the server he deserves all the positive recognition he has. I wish you luck with the app wyatt, not that youd need it.

So here are a few clips that show why the bomb is rather bad at this moment in time: https://streamable.com/4trl1e https://streamable.com/thv6ow https://streamable.com/5mxbk3 Coupled with the fact you can be killed before it even goes off, and that players can actually survive it rather easily, needs a couple changes made to it.

Description: [description of what you are suggesting, one paragraph minimum] So the red unit bomber class is currently no more than a meme. The speed while running is rather slow and the blast radius of the bomb is currently less than the RPG-7. Right now the class is more of a joke class for haha funny raid memes, and even for raids its not very useful unless they are very close together. What im proposing is a speed boost to the class (similar to afghan prestige and US cachet), and a buff to the radius of the suicide bomb itself to make it more viable in all situations. Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] I am aware that the RPG-7 is currently getting a significant nerf, and its not without good reason as it is absolutely broken as an explosive right now. However the suicide bomb, which has one use per life and only one slot to the class at all times, should get more of an upgrade from its current version, and i believe that it deserves to be a lot more powerful due to the cost that comes with using it and the exclusiveness of the class itself. I believe the class in itself should be similar to how the Jihad weapon works in TTT, having a relatively large radius with the price being paid your own life. I do hope you take this into consideration with the balancing to explosives being done. Additional Information: [Photos/Videos][/CODE]

(include any proof): Not sure, I got killed during war, hopped into a truck after i respawned and got banned by the bot. Other than that was playing war normally. Wish i got recorded evidence of this but unfortunately wasnt recording at the time. (though the bot did kick me once before while I was AFK. )Why should your ban be removed?: Well im most certainly not cheating, ive built up a pretty good name for myself in the community and The last thing id want to do is ruin it right now.

Mans faked his death for attention, thats a new low even for all the shit ive seen over the years. If anyones got a steamID ill ban him from TTT rn if it hasnt been done already, this shit is inexcusable escpecially with all thats happened with the community recently.

+1 Pass Red Group tryouts nerd, been trying to get ya in for a while lmao

Dennis has made an exceptional name for himself ever since he joined GB, and through the event I did with GB has proven hes got a good head on his shoulders. Give him the right tools and guidance and he will be an excellent addition to the staff team in my eyes. +1

Deer god is a trash admin who slays people for following koses and doesn’t care even after realizing he was wrong. Also, false reports and slays people for reporting his false reports. Ridiculous. Get this 12 year old of the servers. Congrats everyone well deserved promotions all around :), keep up the good work

DISCLAMER: I have permission from Luxembourg to apply for the position here while I maintain my staffing duties over on TTT. While I have things settled on that end whether i am allowed to take up a position here will be up to all of you. In-game name: Sad Knick Hours (AKA. SSO MAY Knick) Age: 23 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:64461629 Warns: 2 Timezone: Pacific standard time (PST) Playtime?: 208 hours as of posting this application Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: [YES/NO] Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] Yes Referral(s): [What gamemaster recommended you to apply?] N/A Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional] I was a Head Event Planner (basically the equivalent of the head gamemaster) for a star wars RP community by the name of Prominent Gaming for a year and a half until i had to resign due to moving out of town for long periods of time for work. Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] During the time i have spent on MRP over the course of the last few months, I have made a lot of new friends and have gotten to know a lot of you quite well. I have climbed the ranks in SSO to the second in command under austin and the two of us have been doing our best to make the SSO active, fun, and exciting for all players within or outside the faction. However, even with the rank and power I am given with said rank I find what i am capable of doing for both my faction and all of RU to be quite limiting. Yes we have war and raiding/ kidnapping is usually a good time but in terms of providing RP experiences for my faction there isnt really much that I can do. You can only raid so much before it gets repetitive and there truly isnt a lot to do aside from SIMs during the 60 minute stretch between wars. I want to help change that personally, and there is a lot that i am capable of doing to make it so. I used to be a very active builder during my time as an Event planner back in the day and ive always enjoyed making unique experiences for the playerbase to enjoy. Ive built a lot of Killhouse style SIMs in the past, as well as some parkour courses and even a working escape room with an elevator (though I might need a bit of constraint practice before I am able to pull that one off again). I wish to go down a route similar to what Niko is doing right now with his tower SIM, providing more activities and more of an experience during the peacetime between wars, while at the same time preparing RP events for the server as well as interesting activities for SOC factions to take part in. The way i see it, no matter how minimal the action is, as long as the playerbase enjoys it its a job well done as a gamemaster. After all, we are supposed to make events or activities for the playerbase to enjoy first, and seeing the playerbase happy with an event will always make me happy as well. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details Warns from when i first joined aside, I have never been banned or harshly punished on any of the Garnet Gaming servers. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I am capable of providing around 2-3 hours a day with my role as a gamemaster, while being able to balance my role in TTT as well as my personal life. I have a full time job as well as a girlfriend that will need my priorities from time to time, but I should be more than capable to keep an active profile. In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: To put it simply, the responsibility of a Gamemaster is to provide fun and exciting experiences for the playerbase, as well as contributing to the realism/ RP element of the server itself. The way i see it, no action is a bad one as long as the players are having fun with it, because having fun is the most important aspect of this job in my opinion. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: Spur of the moment events and activities are my specialty, Such as a sudden attack or a tricky situation that you have to decipher your way out of. In my best opinion the best way to implement RP into an event is to let the playerbase think for themselves and adapt they way that they would want to the situations. Coming up with their own strategies or counters to what I would be throwing at them, because even if they fail they still tried it their way and thats way more enjoyable than shoving a story down their throats. With my events ill only try to write the beginning to the story and let them figure out how it ends (better be able to think logically and on your feet gentlemen, cause I am not afraid to wipe you all and tell you you suck XD). Please list and explain 3 unique event ideas designed for only your faction to take part in: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation] The Nuremburg Survivor Description: When the Nazis fell at the end of World war 2, most of their inhumane experiments were discovered and immediately shut down by most of the allied forces as well as the soviets. It was the one thing they could agree on, stopping the nazis and all the abhorrent things they were doing to the Jewish people at the time. However, it would be foolish for any great power to leave the data aquired from some of these experiments to burn completely. After all, any edge you can get against your enemies will be a valuable asset. RUGSV will meet with a former nazi scientist who is currently in need of several test subjects for his experiments on human bio-modification. Their objective will be to procure those test subects for the scientist by any means necessary (ie. kidnapping, or bringing 2ga over for the lols). The experiments will then commence in real time for all to witness the horrors and possible modifications that the scientist is capable of, and whatever successes or failures that come with the dangerous experiments. Chernobyl Part 2, Electric Boogaloo Description: The discovery of nuclear power is mostly seen as a short term fix to the energy crisis, as there are a lot of risks that come with the handling of nuclear energy. Chernobyl is the biggest example of that, as with the reactor malfunction came a wave of radiation that decimated and misplaced millions. Precautions are made so that a disaster like this doesnt happen again, but even with the best of precautions you cant protect against everything. SSO will be dispacted as a pseduo security force for the reactor, as intel states that the Taliban are preparing to cause a disaster with the reactor in order to cripple any russian outposts power supply sources. The taliban are repelled successfully but the scientists responsible for maintaining the reactor are injurted heavily in the attack. The reactor goes into meltdown mode and SSO will have to scramble to delay the reactors detonation by completeing the required processes on behalf of the reactor scientists, as one wrong move could cause another national catastrophe. The Distraction Description: Immediately after a battle with the Russian forces, the taliban use the subsequent debrief to lanch an invasion against the US FOB, with the knowledge that their forces will be weakened after the attack. They use artillery to bomb the base while using car bombs and other explosives to breach the outer walls in order to infiltrate the compound. The US will need all their might to repel the attack but all of it is a diversion. Some tali agents are already inside stealing valuable data from the US equipment they have in place. For what they need this information for and what they plan on doing with it though is something the US will have to figure out fast. Please list and explain 1 unique global event idea designed for the entire server to take part in: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation] The shot down drone Description: A prototype US drone is targeted and show down by russian anti air. Both FOBs are immediately notified of the incident and must execute a plan to recover the tech and data that the drone carries. Radio jammers are erected from both sides to prevent outside communications and an all out war ensues (war rules will apply for the duration of this event). In order for the tech to be succesfully retrieved, soldiers will have to do a data recovery process that will need 10 minutes for either side to complete. They must then escort the drive back to their FOB to successfully retrieve the data from the drone. Should one side take control of both radio jammers, reinforcements and supply drops (mostly containing explosives) will be deployed to the respective FOB, which should make taking the main objective a lot easier for both sides if they are able to take control of the jammers. The pseudo war will end once one side makes it back to their FOB with the drive in hand (note, the drive can be stolen by opposing forces once it is procured by a side, so think on your feet as to what you will do to be successful).

congrats to all those who were promoted this month! lets keep up the good work Festive has been killing it for sure, 100% deserves the recognition hes got for his efforts, great job man

Well shit, best of luck to ya hani, good luck in school and dont be a stranger to us now, your always welcome to come visit us anytime Gonna miss my mentor loads

So I may not be an MRP staff member, but Wyatt has been a phenomenal member of SSO as a whole and is someone who has earned mine, Austin’s, and Eli’s trust wholeheartedly when it comes to day to day operations within the faction. He is always helping out 2ga whenever needed and is always willing to help out when assistance may be required of him. I believe he will keep the same mindset as a GM as well, and I already know he is more than willing to up his commitment to the server and do what he can to make the experience of SSO, RU, and the server as a whole, that much better. I wish you the best of luck with this Wyatt and hope to see you on the GM team relatively soon +1

Im heading to popeyes you want anything?

Congrats to all who was promoted, been a good month and its about time Ethan Recieved a staff of the month honor, he`s by far earned it. 4000 reports in a month is just insane!

It seems that most of the staff members that seemed to appreciate my sculpture outside of PD earlier have recieved promotions. I am glad it served as a good luck charm for you all Congrats to all who got promoted!

On a guest account you should still get an email confirmation or something of the sort when you made the purchase if I recall, find that email and you may be able to do it from there. DM me on the forums if you still have problems and I’ll try and help out from there, so I don’t flood this appeal.

Go to PayPal.com and log into your account there, once you’ve logged in go to activity and find the GG payment or any recurring payment that’s being charged. Once you click on it there should be an option to manage recurring payments to GG and you should be able to cancel it from inside that menu.
