Very decent app, you sound like you’d make a fine staff member. +1

I’ve never been so confused about reading a sentence before in my life.

how expensive are we talkin here?

Because if you continuously cheated in the GB sims, it would've become VERY obvious to anyone that you were suspicious of hacking. You of course understood this, which is why coincidentally when staff members spectated you on numerous occasions, you played the game normally to hide the cheats. I also don't believe that "any sane person would've [stopped cheating]". @Not Naitsir brought up this point earlier. If you cheat in a video game, why would you stop? Let's be real here, cheating in video games aren't fair to anyone else, but they're fun to the user. It's the same logic with cheaters on MRP. It's the reason why other games (and especially competitive games) like CS:GO are littered with cheaters 24/7. I was simply stating that your particular sentence was kind of suspicious to me because you were trying to invalidate any evidence against you before anyone in this thread posted some sort of evidence. Now @skrt had corrected me with Zephyr's situation (and quite honestly I had said what I said from what people in TS were telling me about his ban, so I was assuming it was 100% factual and that it was completely possible to steal users lua's), but I still find it weird that you are trying to invalidate "evidence that wouldn’t have been discovered under normal circumstances". Which coincidentally sounds like you're directing this to the alleged proof that Zephyr cheated to discover that YOU were cheating, hence the "wouldn't have been discovered under normal circumstances". This doesn't make sense to me. Caring about your standpoint in the community doesn't mean that you can't become a potential cheater in the future. Someone can easily build up a great reputation in this community and then decide to hack or break the rules severely enough to get a ban because they don't care anymore about Garnet or they just feel like acting mischievous. Of course I'm not saying that at one point you didn't care about your standpoint in this community, but I mean there's so many previous MRP players that have gone down this path that I have to disagree with you on this. You can be active in game, TeamSpeak, and care about the server all you want, but it doesn't mean you're automatically safe from not potentially downloading hacks to use on MRP.

You're basically saying "because Zephyr cheated to expose me also cheating, the evidence doesn't count".

+1 Topshot, the first memories I have about you were your constant toxic forum antics, and to be honest with you dude, I thought you were a huge cockwaffle. You have completely changed your reputation recently, and I have come to respect you as a person. I am +1ing you to give you this chance to prove that I am not making a mistake here when I say that you should be unbanned. You 110% deserve another chance.

I would say right now I'm doing alright, I just feel mentally frustrated at everything that 2020 has become. My last 3 months of my senior year of high school vanished completely because of corona, however I could potentially have a scuffed graduation in July. I probably might not be able to move into the college dorms come September as well which angers me greatly. I, like many high school seniors, have been working very hard for this graduation year for a very good 13 years, countless bullshit homework assignments and many hours of studying all just to get kicked in the jaw by a global pandemic cancelling everything. I can't fucking wait to tell future generations in my family about this year.

I don’t mind not having reserves anymore. I just always thought of reserves as a cheap way of guaranteeing yourself to always have a good rank to start off with when coming back from a long hiatus, rather than simply starting from a low enlisted rank anew, and working your way back up to a rank you desire. There is a lot more satisfaction in working little by little to earn an officer rank after taking a long break from the server, rather than someone putting some stupid 2LTR next to your name on a golden chair always available for you. Reserves was only cool to me until I realized it was boring. I was a WO1 reserve in army, and at no point after I took a long break from MRP years ago, did I ever feel motivated into wanting to return to play MRP actively until a GLOBAL PANDEMIC limited my options to entertain myself and I felt that returning to the server was right. I’m glad reserves was removed because it was an unnecessary system, and I never intended on rejoining the MRP server actively because I wouldn’t have found enjoyment trying to get to know the new MRP community while also receiving a decent amount of responsibilities as a WO1, surrounded by people I wouldn’t have cared about in the beginning. Starting anew entirely allows returning players to better enjoy the server, and incentivizes the player to learn the new MRP community through TS and in-game activity, while also encouraging the player to stay active in order to earn a good rank again. I completely understand where you, Mike, and other players are coming from when they argue about returning the reserve system, but in the end I think it’s better for the system to stay removed.

-1 You didn't really put that much effort into your application.

I don't really have a big wholesome moment thingy (looking at it now maybe this first one is I guess?) but I know some wholesome people: @Secretkilla and @AwesomeAidan are the main reasons why I joined Green Beret. They always gave me encouragement when I (admittedly) felt kinda down that I failed the tryouts like fucking 10 times. I consider both of these guys to be my "mentors" as cringe as that sounds. I've always considered @Homast and @Soappppp to be day one homies, friends that I can always count on having my back. They were in the trenches with me fighting Afghan soldiers back on cs_desert. I don't know if that's exactly what kinda response you wanted but I thought it fit this topic of discussion.

+1 I think Murray is definitely someone who would fit for a staff role. I have never had any problems with him and he is always friendly and cool to talk to in TS.

please make more of these!

+1 Great dude to talk to on TS, I think he’s definitely mature enough for a staff job.

To me I think it’s natural for RU to play in a basecamp style to win wars when you’re completely dominating US. Yes it’s pretty annoying from my perspective in US but that’s really all it is: just an annoyance. If it’s not breaking the rules I don’t really care what the plan of action is in war. If you want to basecamp the enemy team to completely dominate and dismantle the morale of the people you’re beating to a pulp, I think that’s a smart tactic. I don’t think this is a huge issue that we need to “fix” but rather during war, find ways to somehow beat base camping, or simply not allow the enemy team to basecamp in the first place.
