Sorry miswrote, the TX 225 doesn't lag the server. UT AT has been told to cause lag with several vechiles on

I'll ask around that. From what I understand there is several reasons some things you can't change: 501st from what I understand has a very hard because it has a very bad stereotype. (I'll try to see if anyone in there can think of what would get them to get on those lives more often) 212th get 2 tanks which they really enjoy and have Bamz as a commander that people really love. Zeref and Zeno run 21st and it is getting a lot more popular. UTAT and their TX 225 are popular though lag the server. Navy: If you want people to be navy I suggest giving them more fire power in terms of being able to use their resources and not being couped up in NCC all event. Have them be able to use this swep it uses stuff you already have and would be good for events. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427694901 104th: They are also starting to become active. Want to give them a little more in terms of being a protective battalion. I've seen this mod first hand and it's amazing. Gives them a shield and allows GM's to set one up without needing a dupe. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2273436546 CG: Is more on the event side with escorting VIPS, but I will ask around there

Got it I will think more into that next time

that is a good point. I will do that in the future

I'm not the one with that opinion Smity. I think garnet cares about all servers. That is just something I heard when talking about the server in TS one night and they went into detail. That is where I got that quote. You can say don't ever say that about garnet. But I'm not the one who needs convincing

I really agree with this graph as it just happened. With only 2 people active I couldn't do an event that would have any meaning. I tried to say hey I know people have lives, but I'm guessing that was lost in translation. Sorry for that I know that I'm a bit bad at that. I've mostly heard and thought I would say and try to suggest something. Rather than let these things fester. Then the title of HR really doesn't make sense then. That is understandable. I just suggested it more as a way to try to get people on when something is happening. To check out an update. But that's a good counter point

I wanna fix this, this isn't my opinion, I'm literally quoting somebody who's been on the server longer than I have. I don't have the opinion garnet doesn't have about the server. That is literally just something that I heard. So I thought I would bring it up.

Solution 1: For Jedi Have an actual max amount of people per rank in Jedi: For example too many Padawans? No tryouts till they graduate or people stop being on it. Too many knights? Now they have to wait a little while longer. An example is there can only be 6 Padawans, and 6 Knights (This is an example) before we can have more people joining the order. This firstly would then get people to stay either active or be removed rather than waiting 4 months. How it solves the problem: Rather than some aribitarty time when the people who can host the tryouts eyeball it and go. "Eh, now there is enough to finally do a tryout" So you have a plan rather than relying on the future people if you leave to have one whatever number you decide is enough for you. Solution 2: Varada Limit the whitelists for Varada (as in people who can get in similar to jedi idea.) An idea I hate since I'm a Varada main, but since it's such a prevalent issue that people are going Varada. Limit the whitelists instead of giving them 17 in their update only being able to have 6-8. That way people can get on when they need too and have a semi battalion Solution 3: Varada Another thing that can be done is to remove certain weapons rather than just give them to a new special class and then replace those lost weapons with more weapons. A single class doesn't need to have a rocket launcher, a flamethrower that can kill most it's in a matter of seconds, a Cycler rifle that can 1 shoot people, a jetpack that has a lot of fuel, a vibroblade, and more. Give them instead westar35, wrist Flame, westar 11 Make it so at most if they have another class they have a base weapon, like a Westar, a sniper, or a Z-2. I don't see the logic behind we have too many people in Varada to do a tryout. Let's give the people in it more to want to be clones. I know this will get hate because well I'm saying to remove peoples fun toys, but they get better shit compared to anyone else in the server in terms of Varada by not even a close call. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill here for Varada as again I main it and enjoy playing on it with these weapons, but if it's that big of an issue. Focus more on clone updates and getting people to go clones rather than risking anything. I also know these suggestions are a bit shit, but it's really the best I got

I'm going to be real in this suggestion so I apologize to everyone in this suggestion. This isn't a full suggestion, but just something that is brought up. Staff, in general, is in a bad position, especially Management. I know you guys host those "Tell us these things that you would want to see us fix," but how many people have filled those out, and those changes be implemented? Not to mention guess who you're reporting those issues to... Management. So you know what I'm just going to do mine here since it not only has genuine stuff, but I will bring up issues and complaints. This is one of my many suggestions The Issue: A complaint I have seen a lot is that Garnet himself doesn't care about the server. While that may not be true that is what I've seen. "We wait 3 months for an update and it's just broken." is one of the many quotes on that topic. To go deeper into this issue people are seeing updates that are small, but are broken or causes a lot of issues in the server. A Prime example is the TX-225. While added to 21st it was almost immediately met with shit in the staff chat. Someone argued that because it wasn't updated in Navy docs they shouldn't get it for the event and just led to a pointless argument that soured the event as the event had to pretty much be put on hold because of it. The solution: Hire or start a Dev team. It's seriously that simple. Don't give them the keys to the server, but at least try to seek people who can help with the server implementing better updates. I know this will probably be instantly denied, but seriously, you guys have quite a few devs from gmod on this server. Just nothing is asked and it's just left with that stereotype that can be ignored. It will lead to another mass exodus. People just see the server as a lost cause and go to a server that has events, Devs, etc. 2: Build hype for updates. Don't just keep people in the dark or expect people to check the Trello. Go "Hey, this is being worked on", "Hey, update coming soon", or "Update X is now the out come to check out what's new to the server!!!" Rather than "Green crystals were added Yipee." 3: Add a PR/HR team. While it's nice that Management is acting as the HR team. What if people have an issue with management or one of the management members' friends? Who is the person you can report management to? Themselves and hope for change? The Issue: Some people just treat staff as the freest ticket to becoming VIP. They get it and then the fuck off. Not doing events in terms of gms unless it's every month or so. Or just not doing much in terms of being a mod. The Solutions: 1: Get people hyped to do events as a GM. Try to help people plan out events, or hold group meetings discussing for example: how to do a campaign on Geonosis. Get genuine server input in voice chats rather than a channel in discord that just gives the bare minimum because it's in text 2: If people aren't doing events remove them. Now please, I understand these people will experience burnout a lot, they also have lives. You can only do the same events over and over. However, the temporary solution is just having a few sets of gms handling all that work. If people are experiencing burnout let them be. 3: Be more lenient with staff applications. Rather than just denying a staff app because they didn't have 5 events, give them a chance to just fix it rather than forcing them to wait 2 full weeks just to apply again. 4: Start getting people to do minor events before/after 8 PM. I know that's like trying to pick straws, but over the past few days it has happened and we have had people in the ranges of 15-25 actively on and participating in the event. I find a huge difference when around that time the most are 4-10 on a good day, but we could have 6-7 events done in a single day and yet the max is 1-3. Not to mention and I have seen this a lot from battalions' complaints are these exact issues. they just don't get on the server sometimes simply because they expect a single event will happen at 8 PM at night. I want to give some shout-outs to people doing events before 8 PM. Shark, Crowe, Timmothy (I'm pretty sure), Zeref, and a few more. 5: Encourage people to do more joint training like with questions in OCC or on-the-fly training. "Oh hey, you wanna do a joint training on breaching an area?" "yeah, sure" and have a GM set it up. Rather than asking "hey, can we do a joint training" "Sure, let's wait 2 weeks to do it?"

In-game name: Verd'ika Luna Age: 18 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:154361495 Warns: 0 Timezone: EST Playtime?: 90 hours Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: [YES] (am mute) Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES] Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] Gert, Bobert, Past experiences as a Game Master: Quite a bit of experience. I and my translator used to do a lot of Dungeon master stuff for DND and helped with a lot of events on other servers, I was also a developer for Defcon gaming/ATOR. Which I used to make several packs, and more Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] While I understand my hours are low. For nearly all of my time. My hours are genuine time spent on the server grinding or doing stuff. I rarely spend time AFKing. To which I feel like AFKing for 20 straight days is just not genuine to do. As it would just encourage people to have the mindset that they should just leave their computers on rather than spend that time on the server doing stuff. I think you should choose me over applicants because I can think and do events at lower and higher pop when most people are busy. Events are a real hobby of mine and I'm an excellent multitasker at least in my opinion. So I can run around filling out multiple requests in a short period. I also will not lie I'm not perfect I can't do massive events all on myself. So in return for that weakness of mine. I do enjoy the help and try to work as a team. Like a well-oiled machine, there are skills everyone is good at. I hope to be a part of those skills to make the events with others enjoyable. The second part of why I think I should be picked is I have a lot of experience with online D&D. Even though I can't speak. I spend quite a bit of time playing D&D. I then got into as a dungeon master. So I have a pretty good grasp at rping and making sessions and events. I know that making single-trick events like Sith-only events during high pop hours can make people feel left out while at the same time, droid-only events can make Jedi feel left out. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Quite a lot. I enjoy making stuff and since events. I'm on from low pop to high pop later in the day In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: As a gamemaster, you're supposed to provide interesting and enjoyable events, a person who acts as an organizer, officiant regarding rules, arbitrator, and moderator for a multiplayer role-playing game. Someone who when handling an event even if there is a random curve-ball like someone dying you have a backup plan. Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I will play the BBeG or give warnings through events. Making an atmosphere of events or spooky stuff that happens. While performing stuff that will make people legit stop for a second and realize they are acting the way their character would and how that is probably wrong. Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server: My single most creative idea for the RP environment is to have meaningful storylines. Not just one-off events, but have characters in events that you slowly build upon. If anyone reading this ever played "Choose your own adventure game" stuff like that. Where let's say a new batch of clones is stationed on Anaxes. They are freshly there and ready to go to war! However the people around them actions can cause them to slowly be resilient or warriors. If Clones tell them to kill shock they will at first be meh, but soon they may have enough and open fire on everyone. If the Jedi are kind to them and take them under their wing and save them in the event they join ARC and join the Honor Guard stationed with the Jedi. Protecting the Jedi as they were once protected by. Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: 1: Lost Children This event is simple in concept. A ship enters Anaxes airspace and the AA guns pick it up as a CIS Transport. If the Navy or anyone decides to shoot it down they will soon find out it was a child piloting the ship badly wounded. If they didn't shoot it down it would crash on the mhb strip and the child would fall onto the strip. The child is malnourished and badly wounded. It is clear they had been experimented on for some time and have surgical incision scars and a strange liquid on them. (This is just the start if you want to see more you'll have to wait for a see~) 2: Corruption at its Source. You feel your sins crawling across your back. You hear whispers in your ears. You can't make out what they are saying but they are still there. No matter how hard you try you don't know what is fully going on. Though that is not what everyone is experiencing around you. Through some sort of voice, you hear lightsabers igniting around you as it seems that Jedi have fallen into some sort of curse while yourself it feels like liquid rage has been poured over your skull, and your face is red with anger. You see some of your brothers raising their weapons and opening fire on the Jedi. Bullets fly back at you as several of your brothers are cut down and just as quickly as the massacre began it ended. The rage of the Jedi and clones is gone. Some Jedi are backing away while others are vomiting at what they had done. Medics regaining their senses grabbing stretchers and trying to get injured or dead to the medbay. This event would have Jedi and clones attacking or trying to resist rage for a short period of time as a sith and a gang try to infiltrate a base. 3: There are bodies in the water. In the cleaning plant or Jedi caves river, room bodies have floated up to the top of the water finally allowing dozens of clone bodies to rise to the river. This was no joke, the medics find, that they were shot close range in the back of the head with ion-based blaster bolts. And by the size, it was a sniper, shotgun, and rifle. You know who has killed your brothers, but now it is time to figure out why and make those special operations pay for what they have done. (An event with two sides SOB trying to cover up all the clones and Jedi trying to hide the evidence, while clones and Jedi try to get justice for their fallen. If SOB fails an NPC squad will be executed. If SOB do their job the clones and Jedi will know but they will be forced to sit back... for now) 4: Painters club: How we got our colors A fresh event. Players start as CTs and have to fight their way through Anaxes claiming it as their own. This is no easy event the CIS has controlled Anaxes since the war started and you are tasked with clearing it for the republic. (This would be a flashback event. Where clones are required to get on their base whitelists. Which would provide a unique challenge against powerful droids on taking Anaxes) 5: FULL RETREAT: There was just no end to them. The droids the MTT Convoys how could we have not seen them coming? They got into the base and flooded us causing us to retreat through Aux to Zeta, but even then the CIS were on our heels. Bombing and firing at us as we retreated to Zeta and even then it wasn't enough the CIS knew we would retreat there who knew droids could be so smart? They knew normally we would see trip wires and defuse them so they let us right into a trap Zeta exploded and we were forced towards caves. We were forced to escape with the help of Mandalorian gauntlets evacing us back to the Venator. We had truly lost Anaxes, but with our fallen brothers, we weren't going to let those losses stop us. (A One-Two life event which has droids swarm the base and cause a code 9. And when they retreat out they run right into the trap of a tactical droid. Causing even more dead and running. Getting on Evac ships they barely escape with their lives) 6: The Hot Head An Admiral takes charge of the base for a day and starts making outlandish orders throughout it all. Forcing Jedi to go into combat zones alone, while clones are forced to take back and do training with no end in sight. The tiniest of mess-ups caused people to be arrested and marked as traitors eventually leading to a call for him to step down. The Admiral calling for CG to turn on their brothers and kill the prisoners and Jedi. (This is supposed to be a pong krell type of event. Not insanely insufferable but enough to make people put bounties/hits on him)

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: Staff Your in-game name: Verd'ika Luna Your SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:154361496 In-game name of reportee: CG SGT Padawan Shark SteamID of reportee (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:98995045 Date & Time of incident: 09/27 7:10 PM Timezone: EST What happened? (include any proof): I am in absolute disbelief at these actions and stuff that has come towards me for some reason. So some context and proof via videos you can find. I am really really good at Wiltos, I tried to help devolp stuff for it and I am proficient in using Pike Defensive to counter people who use agile and aggressive. So I know coming off I can like seem really good out of the blue, but I got my VIP paid for I WANTED TO WIN THOSE DUELS to make sure I used the most op style in my opinion defense. It has an AMAZING power move that I know how to abuse. I didn't cheat I just did a spin and followed shark with a heavy that I could use like 4 times in a row. Shark used Agile the exact worst thing to use against defensive. I won pretty massively with shark only hitting me once with me hitting several heavy attacks. Now I thought that would be the end of it. I got through and got to caves and as you can hear in one of the videos shark had pulled Gert or Xeno to the side to accuse me of using a script or damage amps. The things for lightsabers that give you a boost in damage which. A) that would mean another mystery GM had set this up before with me given me a vibrosword and damage amp orbs 1-3 to stack, then the jedi machine just to fight shark, and B) that this was a coordinated effort to attack him. To make sure HE didn't get into Varada. So he's in caves and pretends to be shocked we were there and is trying to order all mandos to leave their tryout as he found out they were in there. Which I want to remind you this was after he had accused me of cheating to my face had previously pulled Xeno or Gert to the side to accuse me of cheating and after losing was trying to mess with the tryout and get it shut down on his Jedi life. Now I thought this would really be the end of it. But when I was grinding mini events I pretty much killed most of them and shark just swoops in and steals the lootbox. So I made an offhanded joke about it. To which he responds "Average Gmod scrip user" and then later goes to our camp and starts accusing me. What pissed me so the fuck off. Is he admits that he went into SWRP Admins and mods that I was cheating. Now I have a fucking reputation that I am some sort of script user. It was tried to be defused but he just kept going. Unlike the Axx situation Shark has done this to me several times. Harassing me as this is the 3rd-4th time he has harassed me about this. I don't feel welcome in this server anymore and feel like I shouldn't be in a server where admins, mods, gms, just assume I am cheating. There is more evidence but there is quite a bit of evidence. And he's claiming to do this as he's staff on DarkRP so he can stalk me and go to people claiming that I cheated. And just to be clear I have fought and won against Markymark and the leader of the Mandalorian and won a Majority of the fights or at least one then went easy the second time. By just fucking around and even they admit I just have some skill with the fighting system.

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: Staff Your in-game name: Verd'ika Luna Your SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:154361496 In-game name of reportee: Marshal Commander Axx SteamID of reportee (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:580959940 Date & Time of incident: 09/26 around 5:00 PM Timezone: EST What happened? (include any proof): I was hoping to improve my piloting skills by flying the worst ship ever the gauntlet. I had asked to fly via ATC bind. Though I pressed it twice so I voided one of them, then I did the type out where I was supposed to ask via mandolarian leader telling me that's how I properly asked. I got accepted so I started doing laps not firing, not doing anything just laps. So you can imagine my shock when I was randomly KOSed by Axx. Who tried to get me shot down. I was going to return to base since i can't really type and fly, however I was shot out of the sky by an ION Rifle. Which then crushed an RC and I was shot to death. Now I want to get a little tid bit of information out there. Even if there is an unknown vehicle over Washington. They still try to make contact with it for it to turn back. If it was just one time I would've let this slide, but as you can see in the second screenshot Axx did this another time. To the point of where it was a shock to even the leader of the Mandalorains who said he would get markymark involved as this was bullshit. Who asked why he was doing this even though it had never been like this for MONTHS. He did so out of the blue and through the loop hole that they had to follow republic law as his reasoning later on. He purposely through this way as an abuse of power. Mando's while employed by the republic would not have the same military flight codes as republic pilots. What I think is really telling about this situation was Axx saying "It could be any mandalorain" to which he basically admits he knows it's one it's their ship and was just looking for a reason. I think this is the reason why he did all this. The biggest thing I want from this is a genuine apology as usually Axx seems like he is a cool dude, but this made me very pissed off. As I did nothing really to him. And he starts making up rules or techinallites to the point of others having to go TECHINALLY. Which even then I requested ATC, but he didn't even respond to it. Which he admits he saw it. Even though I was trying to be safe and even asked for ATC request then that request so using "I have to use Atc" is just flat out wrong as I did he just didn't respond so I followed my superior's way. Again to make this clear I don't want Axx to get in some massive trouble or anything I just don't want this to happen again, and then for us to move on.
