Saying that Tage deserves a place on the staff team is an understatement. Tage is incredibly dedicated, creative and fun. During staff sits with him he has always been professional and very easy to deal with. With GM he did a lot of fun stuff too. Tage absoletely should be back on the team and I would give a plus 10 if I could. Easy +1

+1 Definitely fun to have around, he totally deserves a chance to join staff. let em in!

+1 He has always been nice to have around when I was in 055, and as I continue to interact with him.

+1 York is an amazing guy and I have no doubt he could push out some fire lore.

+1 Great dude and good looking characters. Would like to see this person crafting up some Garnet Gaming MilitaryRP Updated|Hiring Staff lore!

Here is Proof of Ban Would also like to add that this ban reason and punishment is not found anywhere on guidelines. He has also been an excellent member of the community and this seems very strange. He is by far one of the kindest members of the server I have ever met.

+1 Only useful as a slug shotgun, not for its intended use, defiantly needs changes to complete 055th Brigade's classes. Very glad you brought this up, every time I've mentioned it all I've heard is, "its currently being worked on" or "did you check the Trello" or "we know". Hopefully we can get this fixed.

Neutral +1 You have been an excellent addition to our faction and have been very active. From a faction standpoint you have performed well. Unfortunately we haven't had the opportunity to talk much so I don't really know how you would fare in staff. With what I've heard in these previous responses and the application I can't be sure, hence the neutral. All in all, I think you might deserve a chance, but we will see what anyone else has to say. Edit: After talking more with you, you definitely deserve a chance at staff. I look forward to see how this turns out

+1 Although straight out of retirement, I still believe you have much to add to the server and you have been incredibly active since you came back. You have only been back a week, but making you wait another two when you are obviously trustworthy enough to get right back into it feels criminal. Definitively a person who at least deserves a chance at T. Mod despite just coming back.

+1 From the interactions I've had with you, I can tell you care and you're fun to play with. Activity is great as well. Would be good to see you on the GM team, Good Luck!

In-game name: 055th EXS MAJ AwesomeC664SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:469731589Staff members in-game name: Taliban Marshal Shwade Staff members SteamID (/id (name): STEAM_0:1:503658864Date & Time of incident: May 14th, 2023, Just after 8:00 PMTimezone: ESTWarn Reason: VDM x2What happened? (include any proof): First, the facts: I own a vehicle and used it multiple times on May 14th. I used that vehicle both on US and AFG throughout the day. I was using the vehicle in AFG base and was being attacked by some other AFG members. I ran the vehicle recklessly and speedily through the AFG base. I used the e-brake (space-bar) to try to stop the vehicle. Despite that, I ran straight into 055 MHB MAJ Drax and Shwade, killing them. Shwade instantly teleports to self (self-revives) and I apologize. Shwade then, without a sit, conversation, or any real communication, warns me for VDM x2. Earlier that day, I used my vehicle to attempt to ram another vehicle in US base and killed a US teammate. This person was understanding of the mistake and did not report me. Following this, a US officer, which I had warned earlier for destroying my vehicle and stealing it multiple times (also the person whose car I was trying to ram) attempted to warn me in retaliation by 3rd person reporting for incident earlier. Shwade was involved in that sit, and obviously made assumptions from that incident, as talking with him, AFTER he warned me, said that that was one of the factors leading to the warn. Why should your warn be removed?: First, my actions. I was completely and undeniably being a little reckless with my vehicle, as clear with the 3 people I had killed that day with the car (over a 3 hour period). However, the server rules on this matter state: Do not intentionally use your vehicle to kill other players during war. I want to start by saying that this event was completely accidental. Although I provided the necessary conditions that allowed for the plowing of AFG teammates, after realizing that I was heading towards them, I immediately applied the brake and attempted to steer away. Unfortunately this did not work as the Humvee has terrible stopping distance and horrendous understeer. I did not intentionally kill anyone with my vehicle. This was an accident, and should have been handled as such. I'll continue by pointing out that this rule particularly points using a vehicle as a weapon specifically during war. This was peacetime, and as such should not apply. Drax was understanding and did not want any punishment for this incident. As such, and with no other rules in staff guidelines or in any document, this rule does not apply. Then this instance is Accidental RDM x2?. Really? It was an accident Now the actions of Shwade. First, Shwade immediately self revives, which is FRP. He did not even try to handle this situation within roleplay. He then despawns my vehicle, which is reasonable, as I immediately left it following this tragedy blocking the ammo crates. Don then comes up and says to us that I hit him as well during my escape. (it's at this point that Drax RDMs me as a joke, which is fine) Through the whole event I laugh it off, as we were having a great time in TS before and after (shwade was not ther) and I believed that the situation was not very serious. I return after respawning and joke a sincere apology. As I start to speak Shwade opens the /warn UI Drax jokingly types out the command in chat "./warn AwesomeC demotion - mass vdm", then again with "./warn AwesomeC VMRDM - 3 week ban" THEN IMMIDATLY WITHOUT SAYING A WORD OR TYPING ANYTHING BEYOND "/warn" and then the command itself, WARNS ME. Shwade did not submit a report, and then handled his own "sit", without saying a singe word. No clearing up details, no questions, no nothing. Just "Awesome killed Drax (vehicle), Awesome killed Shwade (vehicle), warn for VDM". After this I tried to clear it up with him, but all he could muster was "you've been doing this all day", "I've gotten multiple reports" and "I'm not talking about it anymore". He had no receipts, no conversations, just warn. That is no excuse for breaking staff rules (taking your own sit unless absolutely necessary, there were 7 other staff members online) and punishing without saying a word. I love you shwade, but this was unprofessional and unacceptable. He still has not had a full conversation with me, and avoids it to this moment. With a questionable warn reason, unclear context, and a staff member that handled his own sit without saying a word, this punishment was unjust and uncalled for.

I have provided a lot of input in the Discord forum with the same suggestion, I recommend you look there for more information. Anyway, my weight on this is that the rule should be removed, at all costs. It kills participation in raids by making everyone wait 5 minutes, doing nothing. It kills RP, as whenever Taliban soldiers have the upper hand, and the opportunity, lets say after finishing a tryout, they would not walk back to base, sit on their ass for 5 minutes and then raid. It doesn't follow realistic scenario. It kills connivence. If a busy officer wants to raid, but it bogged down with tryouts, docs, trainings, and events, they should be able to without spending 10+ minutes of peacetime on it. It kills the element of surprise. With almost every officer I've known, we have always dismissed verbally, no "DB dismissed" advert. By forcing officers to call DB during peacetime, which almost never occurs, sets it in the other teams mind that they are either coming, or doing something RP. Then the DB dismissed advert, which is never used on AFG, and the only time I have seen it used, is for raid DBs. At that point everyone on the server knows, not in RP but they know, a raid is coming. No one is ever truly "surprised" by a raid, and preventing metagame is impossible IF YOU INVITE THE OTHER TEAM TO SUBTLY METAGAME OVER A CONVIEIENT 5 MINUTE RANDOM PEACETIME DB. At this point no one really knows what this rule was actually meant to prevent but follow this little guide please: If you don't want people to duo-raid, increase the minimum amount of people for raid. If you don't want people to raid as often, increase raid CD. If you don't want people to raid DB, Increase the 5 minute before and after war raid timer. If you don't want the same person to raid, make it so the same person cannot raid twice in a row over a certain pop. BUT if you want to make it so people have to waste their time, announce raid to the other team, and only no-life officers can raid because they have nothing better to do than raid, then keep this garbage rule. If you disagree, I would love to see your reasoning +1, Remove this garbage rule!

+1 I've played with scratch for a long time and he knows what he's doing. He may be young but he is mature. His activity has been excellent and he is absolutely committed. This man (boy, ig) absolute deserves a chance to help the server. Easy +1 from me with our experiences together on this server.

I've seen you around and you've been cool. I think that you haven't done a ton of talking around the whole server but the referrals from staff and the previous staff experience are good signs. Get out there and keep playing. +1

From the ground up I've seen this man rise up to great heights. He has been very fun to play with and he has been great. I believe that he will be an excellent staff member! Easy +1
