    Reflecting on GarnetGaming and my potential future...

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    Hi, everyone!

     

    I'm not sure if you've seen my name snooping around forums recently, but, if you don't know who I am, my name is Jared! I have been a part of the GarnetGaming community since August of 2016, right before I started my freshman year of high school!

     

    Quick synopsis of my time on GG:

    - I started playing my first stint of MRP near the fall of 2016, ended around the middle of 2017(?) It's honestly been so long I can't quite remember the exact timeframe. I was an active player mainly on the Marines during the days of CSCDesert with people such as Davidson, senorisgrig, Zach Jones, yokedPREDATOR, North, and many more that may pop into your heads. I first messed around playing SAS and had a blast with our dogshit base that Garnet would faint in disgust nowadays. (If you lot from SAS are still around somehow, hello!) 

    - Afterwards I then came back for a short stint as an Army officer, had some fun with that, and was a part of MRP staff for a little while

    - I then moved over to DRP and eventually became staff

    - My last and most recent MRP run was in 2021 during the pandemic, became a part of AwesomeAidan's Green Beret, still love that group, lots of homies

     

    Why am I telling you guys this? Well...I'm graduating college in less than a month from now. I can't believe that I am still here on these forums after almost 8 years. Eight years of my life have gone by, and, in a weird way, this community reminds me of the journey I went through on a personal level in order to get to this point. Since the days of August 2016, I have graduated high school, got a girlfriend of over two years, lost my virginity, and now I am very close to earning my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity! I am truly a Garnet Gamer!

     

    Even though I may not know you, I just wanted to quickly say thank you. Thank you for everyone in this community who has impacted my life. You all have helped mold me into the man I am today...ready to conquer the world. I may not have become a general in MRP like I wanted to all those years ago, or a Super Admin, or a prominent figure in this community, but I have become a man ready to succeed...in REAL LIFE of course! My most prominent memories of growing up have been from playing with this community of leeches, cunts, and dickwads, and I wouldn't want it any other way. 

     

    I really wish I could've played GMod with you guys consistently for 8 years, but the sad truth is that our personal lives are more important than a video game. As corny as it is to say, it genuinely hurts me that life got in the way. However, I think it is for the greater good. Could I come back and play? I doubt it. I have a woman to worry about now. I have myself to worry about now. Is roleplaying as an Army private who is being instructed by a 14 year old kid from California to go and capture an objective from the Taliban even important in my life anymore? Probably not. I am 22 years old. I am an "old" man for GG standards at this rate.

     

    Current members of GG, please enjoy these moments. You are at the peak of your lives, you just don't know it yet. Yes...you're playing a modded version of Half-Life 2 that got released as a fully-fledged standalone game in 2006, where you roleplay as a Star Wars character, or a military man, or some other stupid shit. But you don't need to think of it like that. DON'T think of it like that. Think of how many friendships you've made in this commmunity, and how much fun you've had. Once you start paying bills on your own, you'll regret not living in the moment. 

     

    Just thought I'd speak my peace. Thank you all for making my life a little less shitty.

     

    Jared

    Not against punishment lol? Just don't agree on Perma bans for this particular issue. 🙂 

    Then you could've just said that. Just some advice for you because I don't want you to get in trouble in the future, do not use the 1st Amendment as an excuse to justify racism or any other sort of hate speech. People should have the freedom to say what they want until it impedes the freedom of others. If you're gonna meme and say horrid shit, make sure no one is listening around you that would take it the wrong way.

    Who was your GarnetGaming mentor?

    The title of this thread might sound a little corny, but hear me out:

    When we were all new to Garnet (and maybe this applies to the new guys as well), who was your mentor? Who was the guy you looked up to? Who was the person that showed you the ropes of SWRP, MRP, DRP, etc? What did they mean to you? How close are you or were you to that person? 
     

    Just thought it would be curious to ask you guys so we can have a little conversation.

    How did you find Garnet?

    Back in 2016 I was kinda bored on GMod and I was looking for a new multiplayer experience. I saw there was a MilitaryRP gamemode and I was thinking it would be like CoD. I saw that Garnet was the most populated server at the time, so I joined to check it out. The rest is history.

    Just wanted to say that Prison has been spitting facts this entire thread

    Prison has definitely given me a good perspective on the side of having a map rotation become existent on MRP, interesting takes.

    Idk, personally I think it just comes down to how long the individual has been playing MRP. If you've been playing MRP for awhile, shit is obviously more boring than someone who is new, thus you desire change from the norm.

    I was introduced to MRP when I first started playing Garnet back in late 2016, and to this day I think it was the most fun I ever had playing on gaming community server. I believe that I just got bored because I had played MRP for so many hours and for so long that nothing really excited me anymore after awhile. When everything about MRP and the Garnet server was new and fresh just the concept alone of going on missions with other players and teaming up with different factions (during the 4 factions time period) to declare wars on your enemies was so fucking cool to me. MRP was what I was hoping the gamemode would be when I first started playing it: it acted like a Call of Duty campaign but you and your friends on the server created the story. I don't feel that same energy anymore, most likely because the whole MRP gamemode is not new to me anymore and I've seen almost every awesome situation play out, so I don't really care much about map changes and core changes to gameplay.

    You said you've been banned twice and you learned your lesson about overteaming/toxicity in chat, but 4 days ago, you said this:

    10:55 PM 02/13/2022[PDL] TearZ is Daddy: WHY ARE U A FAGGPT
    and 5 days ago, said this: 5:34 AM 02/12/2022[PDL] TearZ is Daddy: fuck them niggers
    5:34 AM 02/12/2022[PDL] TearZ is Daddy: they bitch ass niggas

    I mean if this is true then he shouldn’t be allowed to even apply for staff because that is beyond fucked and completely immature.

    Stuff like this is the reason why Garnet has always had a gripe with the MRP community. Don't beg for a map change and then completely switch two months later asking for another rotation. Just be considerate and understand that this stuff takes time, as this is certainly NOT the time to ask about a map change.

    What do you want your legacy to be on Garnet?

    That’s funny, cause I always looked up to you. I always loved your positivity and your humour. You were by far the best person I could have had in my faction, If you had more spare time I would have promoted you faster, probably would have even given you the faction if you wanted it. Anytime you joined the teamspeak late at night my mood would change around. I was very grateful to have such an amazing person among my officers.

    Thanks for the love, brother. Definitely hmu whenever you can, I’m busier with school but we definitely need to play some games together and catch up on life

    Even just sitting in that green beret channel you were bound to have a good time

    I remember fondly of how you’d always be in the best mood every time I was in the TS with you. I remember you telling me a little while ago about how I always matched your humor and that I was essentially the funny guy in that GB group. That made me smile to know I was one of your favorite people, makes me happy to know I made your life a little less stressful temporarily anytime we’d play on that server. Glad to hear your life is doing well, man.
