IMO (MRP): It's a snooze fest in between wars. You may say "Well, just create your own RP!". Even then that is not fun for a lot people. There is only so much you can do on a Garry's Mod server that isn't churning out consistent updates. A vast majority of people will play war for the 30 minutes, then hop off and queue and play other games with friends. The server is basically a simulation of IRL politics. Everyone is at each others throats all the damn time. The server is just SO divided between US and RU. Sometimes RU would play on US for a war and go to a US TS channel for callouts. The channel would get tense and become quiet. That's just a small example. I know it sounds so cliche but "A house divided against itself cannot stand" - Abraham Lincoln. The community just doesn't seem welcoming to newer players. The work of faction leading far outweighs it's rewards. The appeal to faction leading for some people was a guaranteed reserve slot (assuming you weren't a retard). Now that that's gone, what's the reward? Clout in a forum signature? For others, it is having your own faction that you can hang out with friends in. Why not just play other games with friends? A 30-min DM server gets boring after a while. Then for some people, it's being able to have more control of the RP you want to create. Like I said previously, there is only so much RP you can do on a GMOD server without consistent updates. If there is no appeal to faction leading, then (new) players are going to be less likely to stay active and work up the ranks. Most people don't want to come home from school/work and deal with imaginary problems. Becoming staff is a waste of time. I spent 7-9 months-ish working through the staff ranks, eventually making it to Head Admin. I was then demoted 3 ranks to Head-Moderator for "not voicing my opinion enough; too quiet". If that's not demoralizing, I don't know what is. I am in no way trying to play the victim card. I have since gotten over it and don't care anymore. All I'm trying to say is that no one appreciates one-another in this community (especially staff). It seemed like all the sits/work I did for the server was just forgotten and tossed aside like a dirty rag. Everyone has their own agendas and could care less about others. I'll probably get shit on for this bullet-point in particular but guess what, I'm voicing my opinion . Garnet. You are stretched too thin. We have like 50 rust servers, some being in Europe. It just seems like you're continuing to add new servers without fixing the problems on the current ones. From the outside looking in, you are juggling: coding, map-making, donation support, being more involved with the community, IRL responsibilities, etc... I think consolidating the servers and putting more resources into hiring developers/mappers will be more beneficial for population. Suggestions don't work. Most of the suggestions are for adding new content. Which is just unrealistic because of the lack of developers, so they are simply denied. The server has essentially the same content since I started playing in January 2017. I feel as if people have exhausted all the RP options in this drought of content. New content = More RP/players. To be blunt: It's 2020, GMOD is a dying game. I rarely post on forums, but I just felt like I had something to get off my chest. Hopefully it's valuable criticism, Garnet.

Description: Currently both the SV-98 and L115 do 100 base damage. Various factions, such as GRU and MARSOC, have snipers that do a base of 125 damage. Reasoning: Just asking that Vega and Ranger snipers are on par with that of other special forces factions. Additional Information: Vega SV-98: Ranger L115: GRU Mosin: MARSOC M82:

+1 for unban. Not enough of a reason/proof to even warrant a permanent ban. After looking at Riskii’s screenshots, you can see the outline of each player. YouTube just messes up the quality of the video. Sure it is hard to see, but anybody with a good amount of hours can hit those shots. Just seems like another case of not enough concrete proof.

Skrt has been removed from the Vega roster. Disappointed to see this.

I haven’t been on the past 2 days for some personal reasons. I was expecting/hoping to get on today but I don’t think that’s going to be the case now. I won’t be able to get on today or tomorrow. @AwesomeAidan @JimTrash @Gamma You’re in charge of Vega for the duration of my LOA. Check Discord DMs.

Yee yee

I had a conversation with Aidan like 30 minutes ago about this, sorting it out: I feel like the situation was done after this conversation. At this point, it's just beating a dead horse. Me and Aidan have already talked it out and I have owned up to it. It was a misunderstanding on my part because I thought it was a joke. Me, Aidan, and Porche were in 2GA together a while back and we've known each other a long time. Me and Porche were just fucking around with him. Other people then caught on to the joke and joined in. I had no involvement with the people who joined in; it was not my intention to make it seem like it we were "harassing him". As Vizii has mentioned above, from the outside looking in it may look like harassment. In reality, it was just some friends fucking around which got too far. All in all, I disagree with someone not even involved in the situation making a forum report about it (when it was already dealt with in the first place).

@Milton Some shit popped up irl; can't get on. @Gamma You're in charge of V for the time being. Check your Discord messages.

This is Lil Ducky for those that don't know. Anyways... Simone initially banned you for 2 weeks for MassRDM as seen here: Your main account was under the name "APOLLO.BUB" when it was banned. Here's a pic of that account at the time: About an hour or so later, you got on the server with this alt-account: Notice this alt-account has the basically the same exact name as your main account. There is no way that was a coincidence, so I just straight up banned you. Here's a pic of his main right now with his alias as "APOLLO.BUB", proving that it is the same account: I talked through the situation with you for 10 minutes before banning you, so you understood what you did wrong. Also like Ting mentioned above, appeals are not for apologies. You could donate $1000 to the server and get banned for breaking rules. It's not going to make a difference in the appeal. If you broke a rule, then you get punished for said rule regardless of your standing.

Surprised you didn't @ me and call me a fat fuck lmao. Nonetheless, you were a funny guy to hang out with in TS/in-game. Hopefully you can drop in TS once in a while and say hi, regardless of our past disagreements.

Denied Lacks community support. Due to your amount of denied applications, you are now not allowed to apply for MRP Staff. @Alex Conway Lock and move please.

I will show you the whole gameplay. It takes time to edit down all the clips from raw footage, compile them, export them, and then upload them. I just didn't want to do that entire process at like 11 PM on a school night. So I just posted one clip to hold the operators over while I have time to edit more. Once I have more I will edit my above post to include them.

Here are all the clips from the raw footage I had to edit. Since people were crying about me only having one clip:

Accepted Overwhelmingly positive community feedback. Always mature and level-headed in situations. I'm sure you'll have no problem fitting into the staff team. Contact Gildarts to get your rank set and @BuddenJoe / @JoeBudden to get trained (Do not use any commands until then) @Gildarts lock and move please.

Denied I was going to give this more time, but seeing as how you used your alt-account to like everyone's post (even though you already liked it on your main) on this thread including your own, I'd rather just make the decision now. Behavior like that just strikes me the wrong way and makes me worried about what decisions you'll make as staff. Regarding the community feedback, I've talked around a bit with other staff and they share the same thoughts as me, effectively negating those +1s. You may re-apply in 2 weeks. Use this time to think about what you can improve on. @Gildarts, lock and move please.

Accepted Previous staff member and good community feedback. There shouldn't be a problem easing you back into the role. Contact Gildarts to get your rank set and @Milton to be trained (Do not use any commands until then). @Gildarts lock and move please.

-1 Too much for staff to keep track of (names-wise). It would eventually cause confusion in the long run.

So it all started when you adverted this: I just straight up warned you for False Advert, because you knew damn well what you were doing. I then brought you to a sit because you were obviously not the real @Whiskey (who was a former MLT). In the sit, I told you to change your name because it was impersonation and self-promotion. You refused and then you adverted 'true' as seen here: To get a NITRP ban you must have broken 3 rules in a reasonable amount of time. In this case, I banned you for: Impersonation, Self-Promotion, and False Advert. So you adverting "VIVA HAS SMALL PP" under someone else's name isn't ruining their reputation?
