1998Corolla

+1 Players and staff hate needing to interpret the rules in some scenarios, transparency on what is allowed and what isn't is always a plus for me.

neutral, only if this is the suit

haha yeah nah i'm one of the old fucks man. I started playing counter strike source when i started high school in 2007.

In-game name: THPS2 1998 Toyota Corolla Age: 31 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:53093120 Warns: 0 Timezone: MST Playtime?: 1780:22:07 Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: Yes Referral(s): @sat11, @hooboododoMartian, @Oyasumi& (kind of?) @Merk Past experiences as staff: Between Late Nov 2022 to mid-ish January 2023 + a few thousand hours moderating on Counter Strike Source previously. Why should we choose you over other applicants? I've been thinking about this on and off for a few weeks now, and I would like to once again be a part of the staff team. I play on the server a lot, and honestly should put some time back into helping the server out considering how much I'm on. I don't have regrets about my time being staff apart from perhaps resigning too early instead of sticking it out. I'm very familiar with the rules, rarely ever a problem for staff, and get a long with a majority of the players in the server. I know there's obviously been some shake up in staff recently, so hopefully I can bring some past experience in to help alleviate the load and spread it out more evenly. I've been asked on and off since around the time I quit to recently to join back, and I've certainly had thought about it many times but just didn't think I would be that needed or wasn't the right time to come back. As of this moment, I'm fairly geared up to help again on staffing and contribute again to the server. I think those that can recall my time as staff would say I'm fairly level headed, can keep cool, and mostly just want to contribute to a good playing experience on the server. Overall I'd hope that coming back I can bring a good spark back and help the players out and keep everyone playing the server. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: 1x MRDM ban in March 2023. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: https://forums.garnetgaming.net/index.php?/topic/22005-1998-toyota-corollas-staff-application/ How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Most evenings & weekends. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? guitar, art, shitposting on /fit/ about activated almonds, that's about it. Did you read the staff rules?: THPS2 1998 Toyota Corolla

holy fucking shit. F

Gonna miss you baked, hands down one of my fav players and staff on the server since I've been here, and one of if not the first person to let me just chill and farm in their base. Really sucks to see you go. Hope to see you on from time to time, it's not gonna be the same without you.

Maybe? it would come on every few minutes, just as background music and be really loud.

Description: Fix, adjust, or new hobo donation box to make QOL easier on hobos. Reasoning: The largest gripe I've had with the donation box is that is spawns as an entity which can be stolen, among you needing the gravity gun to move it around. This should become a type of entity that only the spawning player can control just like a prop to make it easier to move and lock in place without worrying about it being stolen. The donation box isn't used as much as it could because of how easy it is for other players to mess with it. Trying to build a hut with the box becomes encumbering, and making a box that works well in regards to players screwing with it just hasn't become worth the hassle. If I could suggest some kind of keypad type system that could be mounted on a player prop or wall for donations would immensely help. Additional Information: None but Cyber will have the satisfaction of making me happy.

Not sure if you need to restart the server, but just came back still real loud just now.

Description: I'd like to suggest removing the hotel manager from being the outside door owner of the two locations in residential (? industrial? idk). Reasoning: Since I've been on the server, I've only seen 2 times a hotel manager has actually done something with these two apartment buildings. The manager mostly manages the hotel downtown, but is rarely ever in this area. I think it makes more sense to have a player be able to buy the front door to base as it opens up more basing opportunities here, and I think in a party of players in a base it also makes a lot of sense as well. Additional Information: The two buildings

Huh I've also had it at 0 but never noticed that, must be a bug. I think I had it at 0 and logged off and came back later and it stuck at 0?

I'd be for being able to mute a DJ, which also mutes their radio imo. I don't have much of a problem with the volume slider in the context menu, I set it at 10 and have been happy.

Description: lower the music, it's damn loud. Reasoning: It doesn't stop, using console and stopsound will still bring it back, hard to hear other players, it's too much for my small autistic brain. Additional Information: no.

retire well, crunchwrap supreme.

-1 What I think might be better is if we were to have a CityRP kind of server. I think having more cars would be really popular.

That's a fair response, and although you didn't comment on Mayor demotions I can also see it being a problem if there is a corrupt mayor as well. It would mostly just be nice if there could be a PD system that could also solve some potential issues without needing staff intervention at peak hours. I'd suggest raising PD levels by 5-10 personally. If it takes about 30 minutes like you say to get to level 11, 15-20 should take around an hour which might help.

-1 Pretty bad application. Also,

miss you Jerry

Neutral Only because I think in some cases, can't admins discuss with management about making it permanent if the offence is really bad? AFAIK that's what I recall from my time as staff.

-1 Didn't read rules, didn't meet minimum playtime hours for staff, put his email address in his post?

Bye buddy, take care of yourself we'll miss you

Description: Increase the level for players to become a Police Officer to (IMO) Level 15-20, and balance the other PD jobs level-wise respectfully. Reasoning: I would assume most would attest to this (unless there's a lot of -1's against this suggestion), that the PD level is fairly low for the power the PD has. In my experience, regardless of if there is a mayor or not, there are usually some bad apples in the PD causing issues. Most of the frequent issues I have as a hobo is RDA, or police officers killing with their pistols or stun stick abusing. Further problems there are with the PD is if there are no staff able to take sits but there is a mayor, they cannot demote the PD for mass RDA or unwanted warrants / the players on the server are not able to vote demote the PD when they are being unjust. I really do think this has been an issue for quite a long time now, at least 6 months. More recently I think there have been a lot more RDA incidents than usual, and it's typically coming from players that are just able to get the job from their rank. I don't expect to have the level increase to become PD become a solid fix, but I think it would certainly help. PD should be the ones enforcing the laws as written, not the ones causing more problems in the server. It's quite easy to become level 9 on the server, and given the duties of the PD should be somewhat reserved for players who have spent a bit more time on the server and levelling up to be able to enforce laws and not abuse the position. Additional Information: On other servers I've played on, there has been a vote system to let users join the PD. This may also help curve the amount of people joining PD to cause problems.

Context menu has an option to decrease the volume to 0 for the radios, though that'll apply to all the DJ radios.

Neutral This doesn't really impact me at all, since I don't base. But I think in general the mega base rule is perhaps too vague and needs some clarity. You may megabase, although it cannot be in or across the street. You need at least 3 or more gang members to megabase. You cannot take up more than 3 buildings. The 2nd photo you have makes sense to me, it's makes one whole street one large base. The first one which you've been using lately just mostly makes me laugh at how excessive it is. I do think that it needs to go exactly over the tunnel at minimum, it's kinda just right below the top from what I see. I do agree a bit with Wendoly, camps hobo hut is clipping into your sky bridge, and this is supposed to be a more vanilla server and bases have been getting more excessive being outside of doors and buildings. It could go either way for this, just my two cents on it. The only thing I legitimately dislike about this is that I've been wanting to build something in that right corner now for like 4 days, outside, as a hobo and you goddamn farmers are taking away my valuable hobo building space and I swear to god soon enough I'm building huts inside of your bases living there rent free.
