How do you plan on benefiting our server? [minimum 2 paragraphs]
As a new dynamic of players come along, there is a larger demand for rules to be enforced, as well as new policies that need to be upheld. By the trends of how the playerbase ranges in GGMRP, one of the greatest weaknesses is the lack of guidance for players. I believe this is because the dynamic of how staff currently operates greatly whips between an iron curtain of enforcement and lackadaisical aid. What I present to you as a candidate is an end to this caveat with a middle ground.
Given my past experience as an admin/moderator for several servers, I believe I am a exceptional candidate as a staff member. I originally joined Garnet Gaming back in 2017 on rp_csdesert but left to give attention towards school, however, as I finish college I am dedicating more time, and with that, I am seeing a greater demand for help. Most importantly, knowing what kept players to come back on the server then is what I plan to offer as a staff member now. How I plan to do so is by approaching and solving player issues with lessons over punishments. I’ve been able to sedate players into properly RP-ing so that the overall experience for other players is much more enjoyable through this method. As stated before, knowing that with new leadership rising, there are new demands that will help the server for the better. Rules such as casual RDM being broken by players of all ranks is one of the biggest issues that I want to crush. The way I plan on doing this is bringing back the of using warns. Of course MassRDM, NITRP, and other major offences will be dealt with properly, but if a new player commits a casual RDM and doesn’t know about this rule, they shouldn’t be perma-banned right away. With this approach, I believe we can retain more players, and they will learn rather than regret.
One of my other strengths that has given me the opportunity to become a staff member on other servers has been my tone and professionalism. Controlling a mass amount of teenagers of all ages is a tough feat, but it is my biggest strength after being an admin all these years. I’ve been told several times how my demeanor shines because of how I can approach a situation kindly but professionally. Being stern to the right players and forgiving to others are traits that has presented me as a candidate before, and as I present to you now. It is with these traits that I would love to bring to the team so that we can gain and retain a larger player base.
Numbers have been way too low over the last month, and so has the moral of new players. Playing on the US side, I’ve always heard new players in need of staff or someone of power to hold someone accountable. Even though I was a lower rank then, I am a higher rank now, and there is more I can do. However, there are still variables that limit my aid in enforcing rules. Many times have I tried to cuff players breaking rules, i.e. PVTs leaving base, Players RDMing other players, but many of those situations ended in LTAP or other outcomes that are out of my control. As a player on the West Coast, I present a better coverage of staff actively online then before. Usually nights in PST is where rules are broken the most as EST staff members log off for the night, and I would be pleased to help out and cover for the times that Staff can not be present.
I do genuinely hope the best for the server, and I truly hope that my experience, plans, and demeanor present me as a good candidate as a whole.
