Welp, here I go.
Who am I?
I am TheExaltedPrime/Billy and I run/manage the IT infrastructure for a land development company in the B.C region of Canada. I have multiple employees under me, either it being software developers, contractors and even social media influencers, I lead them to the point where some of them are even older than me (The oldest I can legally boss around is 64 years old) It can entail to either telling people to roll out app updates to payroll app updates, tracking employees and doing employee exercises and even community games. (Yes, sometimes even firing people but I rarely do that, and when I say rarely, I never fired anyone without getting their side of the story and listening and seeing what I can do to change their attitude and if they can't change, I'll shuffle them around to not have to do the stuff they were doing and get them to do other projects, and if that fails then I will let them go) (I highly recommend getting into the IT field, it's a fun field and if you love computers, it's an awesome foothold into software engineering and even network engineering)
I also ran and sold multiple game servers (High and low pop servers) and have experience running/building servers for big companies. I even ran my own hosting company back in late 2012/early 2013.
Why do I aim to manage Garnet?
I feel that current situations, people lack vision, it's just a game, to me, it's an opportunity to grow a community into something big, something known. It's ability to go after the 99, while people worry about the 1. I want to see the community grow. I want to see changes happen and to be able to make those changes. To be firm but understanding and to be just but gentle. GarnetGaming isn't just a means for money, it's a means for people to come and be themselves, and right now, it seems people cant even do that. I want to change that. I want someone to log in and be like "Aight bois, see ya tomorrow and be on tomorrow with their friends" not "Aight man, I guess I'll see you on the server in a few days" and log off. I want it to be memorable. That's my goal.
Do you have any previous bans and problems with staff?
Yup! I got banned for Overteaming on Rust and MRDM on DRP but hey, who hasn't been banned? Does it define you? No, but the experience strengthens you. I mean, I made a huge thread on what should change in Rust and my DRP thread is coming soon as well.
What sets you aside from every other applicant?
A few things like my voice. I want it to be heard, I will stop at nothing to talk to you, and when I do, I will talk your ear off. I want to make things better, and if I have an idea, I am not afraid to say it. I also want to say my tenacity to get things done. I will spend every waking hour doing something I see as productive and make sure it can help someone. Say for example a new rule. I will comb the threads of past appeals, past bans or past discussions and make a new rule so people can ban off of it, or people can follow it, so there is no confusion in the future, that's how dedicated I am. I also want to say my gentleness and looking out for my fellow player.
We have been hit hard this year with the passing of two amazing team members, and I want to make it my mission to reach out to everyone if I hear you are having a rough time. We are in this together, and I will not, and I mean will not, bury another soldier in the back in this everlasting war against the darkness if I can change the outcome.
But if I don't get Manager, then GGs on top, firm handshakes, I will still be here to make long posts and being an ear for the community, my works and my actions do not count as much as my faith towards this community and it's members.
We can do this, and we can do this together. In my eyes, we all are managers.
