+1 slime is a cool guy. We’ve based together twice and he understands the rules well. I think he would be a great fit for staff although I see my viewpoint is not shared by many. I can see the effort put into your staff app, disregarding the mistakes here and there. I sincerely hope you get accepted.

+1 cool guy ingame no problems, knows the rules

[minimum 2 paragraphs] :If I had to summarize my reason as to why I would like to become staff, I would have to decide on the experience the server has to offer, and wanting others to get the same experience. I would like to assist the growth of the server, the maintaining of returning new players, and the moderation of trolls, mingey people, and KOSers at large. We have ALL had a bad experience, and I would like to minimize that by being impartial and allowing for people to fully explain both sides without jumping to conclusions based upon the word or evidence that has been provided. With that being said, I don't think I could reliably narrow down my reasoning to one thing. Its a multidimensional task that I feel I have a good outlook for. I understand the ins and outs of not only the community, but the servers mechanics. It is important to me that the server is an environment that cultivates a good experience for first time players and those returning alike. And this can be achieved with a judgement free and truthful approach to sits and encounters. That is what I would like to bring to the table. Another reason I desire to become staff is my ability to moderate and be active at times when the staff population is lower then average. This is due to me working a very odd schedule. I've had player testimony that we need staff in certain timeframes, such as 12AM - 5AM, or early morning hours. My goal if I'm accepted is to maintain a just environment and do my absolute best to keep the server flowing without a hitch. This can be achieved with my activity in these aforementioned time zones, as well as my overall impartial viewpoints. I am a very active player, and I plan to keep it that way. I have never received a warn nor ban. I know the rules very well, and I hope to apply that to my staffing if I am to be accepted. One of my qualities that I think would allow me to strive as a staff member is my levelheadedness. I am not the type to get angry, no matter what's being thrown at me. If I was to be chosen, I know this would greatly assist me in sits. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server?

+1 My interactions with frank have been few, but I havent had a bad one. I don't catch the vibe that other people catch and I think he is mostly kind and respectful. He also has experience staffing.

I think people are misinterpreting what I mean by trails. The approach I am suggesting would not limit visibility, as shown in the video posted. I am in a sort of agreeance with the prestige method. My point about the hype was that prestiged players want this, and people who aren't prestiged want this which might push them to prestige, spending time on the server. I think the lag would also be minimal considering the availability. NOTE: This post has gained enough attention IMO. I am done responding to comments, more +1s or -1s are welcome but I do hope this will reach a yes or no soon. Thanks everyone for the input : )

I don't know if you saw my video or not, but that's what I mean by trails. Not a fucking massive rainbow jetpack coming out your back. Its simple, small in size, short in length, with different solid colors. Not a goddamn smoke screen.

By your logic, the prestige system is useless. Because only a certain amount of dedicated players can use the items, its not worthwhile in the first place. Now, the thing is. I'm not an outsider, I have researched the code, and it can be used without much hassle at all in three different ways. 1. Item trails This method involves the vending machine giving you an invisible item with a trail applied to it that you respawn with and emits a trail while its in your inventory. 2. Player model trails This method involves a trail being added directly to your player model 3. Entity trails This method involves a invisible, no clip prop that is stuck your feet (like hats) but emits trails. here is a method for Lua, there are addons for trail tools as well that can be applied directly to props / sweps / player models.

1. If this post hasn't even been up for 24 hours, and there's already a good amount of people who seem to be really excited about this potentially being added in to the game, I think the hype is there. I don't see your point. I don't think there is an issue. If only a certain amount of people can use it, then it wouldn't cause much lag. With the hype factor proven, it would push people to want to prestige, hence spending more time on the server. The code is SUPER simple. So I don't see how it would be much of a hassle. Its literally just an invisible entity emitting a trail at your feet. Its not some sort of complete overhaul. It seems like all your arguments involve "what's the point this, what's the point that" when this thread has proven that its wanted by a few well known players. What's the point? its cool.

after consideration, I think a better way it could be implemented is a prestige item unlocked in the vending machine. This would restrict how many people are using it, make prestiging more worth, and would be a fun way to customize your character.
