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.

While I can understand the hardships the community goes through I thank you for not giving up on us quite yet.

I was able to track down the logs of the situation thanks to the relative time you posted, so with that provided part of your story checks out. However with the way Old logs work i am not able to pull up any deathscenes of what happened, so as a result there is no way to truly confirm what took place here. For future reference, If you need to gather evidence for a report that needs more contect added to it that a damagelog screenshot cannot provide, right click on any kill message in the logs and you can select the "show deathscene" option. Doing this will allow you to see the last 10 seconds leading up to an individuals exact death.
Without that extra proof which confirms your context nothing will be done here, though if it was the case that Lux false slayed you it would be more of a slap on the wrist offense than anything. Staff members arent perfect, we do make mistakes from time to time. We cant be perfect rule enforcing robots as we are human too, and all the same we arent exempt from the rules ourselves either. Staff members slay each other and themselves more often than not, and we have a rule in place for staff that prevents a staff member from having any say in reports made against themself unless they are the only member on. If something like this happens again feel free to make a report with the proper evidence gathered and we will take action accordingly.
@Luxembourg@LeKichi@time lock and move please.

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.

6 hours ago, Theos said:
Personally I don't agree with the speed boost to the class, as that plus a damage range boost could make it a bit unfair on some of the objective points on this map, and Omega (assuming that is the next map).
I also feel it might be useful if you demonstrated through a video or something the rough range of splash it does now, and how much further you feel it should be. Asking for a splash buff, without more details, is what led to the RPG-7 having a stupid splash.
Overall though I'm fine with a splash increase for the suicide bomb.
So here are a few clips that show why the bomb is rather bad at this moment in time:
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.

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 detailsWarns 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).

Never caused any issues when you were around a couple months ago and you haven’t been causing any now. You have a lot of TTT experience as your app claims but staffing a server is a whole other ballgame as opposed to playing on it. Though I don’t think you’ll have many issues with the right guidance going forward.

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.
