PostalBoy

But for real what you did was proper don't feel guilty either because I am an asshole

its nothing personal against you or anybody here either i just cant stand it when im just trying to relax and i am harassed by people after verbally warning them to leave multiple times. (This is not RDM -- Esp when they continueto keep coming back to see me after new life rule and harass me they are breaking NLR i keep warning them to leave they don't I kill them this is roleplaying) Yeah i realize that postal boy carries big guns well thats because he paid for all of them im appealing because if i dont the consequences are a lot worse than u think. and i like you dude i think you are a reall good mod and i wasnt angry at you for banning me either because you are right there are other ways to handle it but i simply just am unable to settle it through a report because it takes time out of the mods game and my game to deal with bullshit that ruins the experience for everyone. I dont really care about the outcome of this appeal its just a paper trail good follow up thanks

i cant really record stuff anymore so id be wasting time if i reported

I was banned for NITRP by Errol for 4 days because I was defending myself while I was being griefed and RDM'd and proptrapped.

Just a brief update. This Thursday Buster and I are discussing exhibition games to get a feel for the gameflow. He will be designning a build in the skybox where the players will fight. This week I will also post my update to the ruleset following what members have suggested thanks

+1 Rule Knowledge: Your dedication to learning the server rules and your enthusiasm for helping new players navigate these rules is commendable. It's clear that you've invested time into understanding the dynamics of our community and the intricacies of our gameplay. Empathy: The emphasis you place on empathy as a cornerstone of your approach to potential conflicts and player interactions is notable. This trait is invaluable in a moderator role, where understanding and mediating player issues are daily tasks. Activity and Availability: Your commitment to the server, demonstrated by your extensive playtime and willingness to be active daily, is exactly what Garnet looks for in potential staff members. Your flexibility as a college student adds to your availability, which is a significant plus. Direct Interaction: I, PostalBoy, had the opportunity to conduct a pop quiz with you, and I can attest to your readiness to handle moderator responsibilities. Through our interaction, it became apparent that you possess the knowledge and demeanor necessary for the role.

Awesome replies. For now we will keep it in the back of our minds. Discords and in-game discussions about this idea first. It need to be brought up thru the whole staff to get the okay. So that requires a team of people who are interested in helping out, I think today I will talk with Merk about a ruleset and how preliminary events can prepare us for something of this magnitude. Either way I have been sponsoring new players to join clans and engage in some friendly competition. So those who are wondering how noobs will feel about this? Welll. You see the thing is we would love to create some entertainment inbetween matches. Each match does not have to take place one after another. We can also attempt to try to schedule each match in the bracket based on the teams schedules and the ref/admin schedules. As I mentioned before a lot of coordination. New players will have a chance to compete in small events or have some fun in some games that we design. In a way it is indeed encouraging the skillgap by having money pool and entry fee for the serious competition, but the events that we will center around new players and small teams will be the comradery that essentially leads up to each match. This also garners more attention and traffic to the game as a whole so new players seeing this type of competition and coordination between the community will be something to pass on. Big suggestion is trying to host a match during slow hours and then focusing on games and events in-between with prizes for new players kinda like a login bonus but handled by staff and facilitators of the events/.

Let's be clear: this event isn't exclusively for clan members. We're brainstorming mini-events as a prelude to the main tournament, welcoming both structured teams and less formal groups. Although there's a notable skill gap in raiding and basing within Garnet's competitive landscape, our aim is to cater to all levels of play. Whether you're joining with friends for a high-stakes challenge or just for the fun of it, be aware that you'll encounter both novice and veteran players. The tournament is designed to be inclusive, intending to draw new participants and enhance the community's vibrancy without exacerbating existing skill disparities. We especially invite non-competitive Dark RP players, emphasizing the need for comprehensive planning, oversight, and a commitment to rectifying previous community missteps. To ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all, we'll be conducting practice matches. These preliminaries are essential for refining the event's structure and ensuring it accommodates a wide range of participants, setting the stage for a larger, more inclusive tournament.

I'd like to delve deeper into organizing a gaming tournament, an area where I've gained considerable experience through managing brackets and serving as a tournament operator across various platforms, including local communities, universities, and military gaming clubs. With my recent engagement on Discord, I aim to facilitate smoother communication and share my insights more effectively. Given the challenges of community toxicity, I believe in fostering a positive and competitive environment, requiring diligent coordination with the event staff. My vision includes hosting a server event that not only accommodates competitive players but also welcomes casual participants, enhancing the event's appeal through strategic promotions in the days leading up to it. To support this initiative, I'm contributing 100 store credits to the prize pool, with the top three teams receiving a share of additional monetary rewards. I propose expanding the competition to include various clans, allowing ample preparation time—possibly one to two months—to ensure a well-organized event. My role would primarily be overseeing the tournament's facilitation rather than engaging directly as a referee. The tournament structure I envision is a series of best-of-three matches, culminating in a grand finale, with each 6v6 clash featuring clan vs. clan gameplay. The format includes three attackers and three defenders per team, with the goal being either to capture the opponent's base or eliminate all opposing players. Each round would have a 15-minute duration, with players spawning two printers in their base at the start of each match. This basic framework is open to adjustments to tailor a specific rule set for the event, ensuring fair play and strategic depth. We will assign one admin per team to monitor gameplay, reporting to a central judge who will make final decisions on rule adherence, thereby maintaining integrity throughout the tournament. Additionally, the involvement of admins will be acknowledged with compensation for their efforts. Participation in the tournament requires an entry fee of 18 million, equating to 3 million per player, assuming six teams compete. This fee structure supports a prize distribution that rewards the top three teams, with a significant portion allocated to the champions. This approach outlines a comprehensive plan to manage the tournament, emphasizing collaboration, fairness, and community engagement, while also considering the logistical aspects of administration and prize distribution. I know its a text wall, but I can speak caveman on discord or in game if you find me. I have been supporting lots of new players who have joined and it's good to see Garnet alive after my hiatus from Gmod. Finally as a result from this effort I hope after the event we could work together making improvements to the server to possibly facilitate another event or improve roles and jobs in the server.

Money pot meaning each clan pays entry fee, and the participants play for the prize pool of in-game currency.

Allow me to formerly introduce myself as PostalBoy, but some older players may remember me playing as MF Snake at one point. Generate some traffic to the game, why don't we host a tourney in the server and coordinate an event where clans compete in a bracket for a money pot prize of in-game cash to be rewarded to winners? Rule set could be very simple where whole map is the situation and it's clan versus clan where each side has three defenders and three raiders. Best of three each matchup and switching party members to offense and defense should be allowed. Players spawn in prints as flags, team that survives or caps most wins. Lot of coordination, lots of effort but it would be great to see. Would like to see some of the best player compete against eachother for one night. Anything like this ever considered? If so I'm down to throw time and money into such an event. Might attract a fair bit of new players. Would be great to hear some feedback from you guys as well. I don't expect this idea to be approved or accepted so easily it will take lots of time and effort to put it all together. Anyways thanks!

Really fun guy to base with. He is technically skilled at base building. Knowledgeable on rules that new players could find misleading such as FDA. I have been playing with him since he started in the server and really has shown good progression. Good staff potential and has a sense of accountability.
