Mark-

Well what a surprise to just randomly pop-up in the Garnet Forums and just so happen to see this. I can say that Medinator and I were never friends, or even considered each other close to such a thing, we hated each other under SlideTurtle in Green Beret back in like ends of 2016 or beginnings of 2017, but that was almost 6 years ago, and since his document was made and his ban issued, it's been a year, the ambiance is different and things, from the small part that I've seen, are going good for MilitaryRP. I think it's been years since he was trully toxic to his core and another chance at this stage wouldn't hurt.

This is also what I think is one of the main issues of MilitaryRP, in the long run, up until now we have had people with less and less management experience either run the Staff Team, or be one of the highest ranks in the Staff Team, which ultimately just ruins the Staff, as they have no idea how to manage, make good decisions on their own, or are just plain retards. There are people who have had no management experience that have come up the ranks and they have been good, Jim does the most he can and is not a bad manager, but keeping the same system that just promotes based on sits, and time on staff is pretty stupid at this point, a rework of the Staff Team should happen in order to start saving parts of the server. Don and I have discussed a few times about things that need to happen, and although we both had ideas that maybe the other didn't fully agree with, but none the less we had good ideas that would help the server. Faction leadership is also a big issue, with somewhat of a good leadership at least you get a faction to be active and with a decent amount of numbers, for example Army is doing good lately in numbers of Enlisted, NCOs, WOs, and Officers, so with good leadership and training people, actually taking the time, things to work out somewhat. Don't just wipe the community, and yes, as Don said, maybe you would have to Shut down MRP for a bit while you re-work it, and have Management work to make it better while taking your time to see what are the issues and what needs to be done. As many have said the server will never be perfect to everyone, but reworks in Staff and Leaderships need to happen.

Vote : Option C I would go for option C, as I would love to see more Roleplay take place and only having 2 factions doesn't make me think that the possibilities are very open, but a 3 faction server would make it so that we have more possibilities with picking who to fight in a moment, while possibly making peace with another, and trying to find the most information out of both enemies. As well as this would add to your point of wars being based more on Strategy and having it be 2 enemies instead of one, would add to the pressure of having a more laid out plan for Wars. Vote : Option B I would love to see Option A because of Sniping and the fact that I love using Ghillie to hide in trees, but thinking about the possibilities that Option B brings is more interesting, as in the future things like Scavenging Buildings Missions could be added, as you're talking about having missions and other things for players to do during the 2-hour Peacetime. Vote : Option B Thinking about the possibilities that a map like what you describe as Option B would bring, I would think the most reasonable option and the one that would keep us in the system we are but adding more time to do passive activities with the ideas you already have, I would choose Option B, as then we would have plenty, or a lot of things to choose from to do while the 2 hours of peacetime, as well as the already existing Tryouts, Training and Sims, so I think with the Ideas that you are currently giving, and the open roads that can be taken later, Option B would be the best. Vote : Add Them, Really good Ideas. I like this part, and if it is something that you can code and make possible, there are a lot of possibilities out there that players can suggest, with missions to choose from, jobs to do in the base, and the different ways that can be explored of earning a salary, be it scavenging, working in the base, or doing much more that others can suggest and come up with. Vote : Also really good Ideas that would be very exciting to have The weapons skins and the Unique Badges would be a cool thing do add, players would feel their achievements being recognized, while also having things to strive and work for to earn money and buy the coolest or most expensive items to show them off, or simply the ones they like. Suggestion Something that I would suggest, and like to see re-added personally would be the Personal Vehicles, which with the new ideas that can come up for jobs and missions to make money and level up, they can be set as really high prices and even level based, so you would need to be a certain level and have whatever amount of money to be able to purchase them, as they were a big thing in the Orignal CS_Desert and limitations on their use can be placed either by code or just simple rule additions for staff to enforce.

I would love to see MilitaryRP on GarnetGaming be changed, and the idea to switch it up to NutScript is great, even more with the suggestions of the Army Subfactions, allowing for more RolePlay and actual Serious or in our case it could be Semi-Serious, to allow silliness. It would allow for appointments, promotions, demotions, firings, and even court marshals. I've always thought about what ideas could be put up for a NutScript MilitaryRP and I've never really seen promise to it as I've never thought of the sub-factions inside Army, I just always tried to tie it up with how we currently have it, but this would allow for actual RolePlay in the sense of paperwork, actual Financial Allocation into Sub-Factions/Departments, the actual overseeing of things. I think this would be a great idea, and something that can be a better or equally good idea as Garnets idea to totally Revamp MilitaryRP into what he had said, it would take thinking into making it not so Serious, but it would be very much doable. I like this a lot.

Although at first sight your application is good, well thought out, but taking a deeper look into it, you find things that although they make sense to be mentioned are not really good reasons to be accepted, and here's why. When you say that one of your main reasons to become Staff is to help with tryouts, helping people and getting better ideas for the server, there are a few issues with that. You said that the only way to help the server become once again one of the most popular MilitaryRP servers in Gmod is by becoming a Staff member, that is not true, you can take your ideas and give them to the Managers or put them as Suggestions on forums, which as a Staff Member you would have to do anyways really. Your reaon for helping with tryouts is something that might be needed sometimes, but you also have to take into account that only Head-Moderators and above can trully do that, aid in the Tryouts to set jobs, so you would still have to go through Trial-Mod and Mod, and that's assuming you get promoted both months, so you should really give reaons other than that. Reasons for helping people can still be done while not being a Staff Member, although it is not to be disregarded in Staff Apps just for that, as it is good to mention it everytime someone appiies for staff, this is just to point out that you can do it while being a User. I will give you that I think you would do good with Sits and deal with them professionally, as well as act in a professional manner as a Staff Member, as far as what I've seen from you. For the moment I feel hat your application needs a bit of work, and thus I will remain neutral, but I am leaning towards a +1, as it is not a Bad Application.

As I like to remain unbiased when things come to being Staff and other important roles, I will only take into account the Staff Application and the reasons given, with your current application I will remain neutral, but leaning towards a -1. You do mention that you are a good officer, which in my opinion is correct, you do know how to handle the HRC along with American but doing paperwork is not something to note here, unless this would be a SeriousRP server with way more events, then maybe, but for now no. Being active and helping people are things that help the community even if not being a part of the Staff Team, therefore I would suggest you give more reasons as to why YOU should be accepted, and I mean this in a sense of giving us information about what makes you a good person to help moderate the server, qualities that you believe make you good for the job, skills, or anything more relevant. Again for the moment I will be Neutral, leaning towards a -1.

I am going to stay neutral for now, From your application I don't see many things that would convince me 100% to +1 the application without too much though, but it is a very common style of application and nothing much to note from here. I also don't have many reasons to -1 the application thus my current state of neutrality.

Sorry, this will be a -1 from me, I feel that you need a lot more work into your application and to be honest from what I can see from your application alone, I don't see you are ready for the Staff Team. My opinions could change if you were to buff your application more, giving more reasons as to why you should be accepted, you are active and that's good but my only issue right now is the way the application was made.

At this point it would be better to take drastic change in hopes that the server loses it's repetitiveness or just continue with our way of doing things now that would end up slowly losing players until the server is ultimately left to nothing as it will remain with just wars, trainings and tryouts, just those three things. It would be better to try a very different thing that would possibly help the server, or as garnet says, wait until the shutdown imminently comes,

In my opinion I would be for this change, seeing the current state of the server, with the low populations, and as many of us players have said before one of the main reasons for people leaving is repetitiveness. This idea I feel would make it a lot more interesting and fun, as the idea of having a sort of "Always on going War" meaning the Objectives that would always be active and be hostile areas would really change how MilitaryRP is currently played in GarnetGaming. Although there are a few players that might reject the idea, and really be against this, I feel this would benefit the server, as a lot of the NCOs are coming on for the fun of being with people they meet, training, and other things. This being an idea revolving around Staff hosting events, I feel would bring much more needed RolePlay for more players to join and stay, as well as this could give Officers the opportunity to take their people and have more things to do like recon missions, hostage taking ( If Enemies are at the Sites ), etc. This would give the opportunity for factions to make plans of attack, schedule attacks to take the objectives and it would add more roleplay for Spying missions, it would incourage the hostage taking to learns the plans, and learn when they're happening. I really like this Idea and it would change for the better.

Reading your application you seem to be mature, and well spoken. I do like that for someone your age, you're taking the time to either re-check your grammar or even be as mature as to already have the mentality to write your applications and other posts in such a well constructed manner. It does seem that you took time to think out what to give as reasons for you being accepted, and I like it, not everyone takes the time to say different things and always end up touching the exact same points, but you did it differently. I have seen you in the server, maybe a bit less as of lately, but still active within the server, and for the current state of the server that is good, that you're active, but not necessarily on 24/7 as you would get burned out and as of late not that many tickets, so it is good that you're active to help out new players and keep everything in check as much as possible. This will be a +1 from me, I'm impressed on how you did your application, congratulations, not many people do it like this.

Sorry, but it will be a -1 from me. From a first look of your application it can be seen that you didn't put too much time into your application, pretty much just writting it and then publishing it. You do have some mistakes in your paragraph on why you should be chosen. The reasons you are giving, as said by @Torch are things that you can already do as a member of the community, you don't seem that have put much effort into actually giving valuable reasons for being a member of the staff team and what you would add to it. I am not taking into account that you're supposedly "Blacklisted" from Staff, as I don't see your name there, I don't know if you are there under another name, but if you are Blacklisted it is way worse not to address it and just move forward hoping people would just oversee it. But again, I'm not taking that into account. Just not much to go by from the Application, no effort.

You blatantly advertised your "Friends DarkRP Server" Said the name and subsequently said "In case y'all want to join" You were banned for 14 days.

You're clearly cheating, you might not be using Aimbot, but you are clearly using ESP, you can see it clearly when you shoot and kill someone through the Bush....

I have been back for a bout a month now and have not had the pleasure of seeing you within the Server much, I have asked people about how active you have been including people within SSO, and they've given me the comment that you're not that active anymore, so that does beg the question on if you will be active enough to actually help the server much. Right now the Staff Team needs people who are very active and help populate the server for new players to join. Another thing I might be worried about would be the lack of you mentioning any experience at all, giving me the idea that you might not have any. The Application is pretty much a common one, not really anything unique to it, just the commonly seen "I am unbiased, Active and will help the server enforce the rules" Now that is not a bad thing, as long as you can proof that you are actually making the application stand a bit out with your own touch and proving that you have the skills and experience to be accepted, which from what I see in the application right now, that is lacking. For the moment I will be -1' ing the Application.
