Past experiences as staff: I was staff a few times on Garnet. The highest staff rank I got to was S. Mod before I resigned because I didn't have enough time to remain active.
Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs]
I have been playing GMOD for a long time, about a quarter of my total time played on Garry's Mod has been spent on Garnet. This much time on the server has allowed me to see what has and hasn't worked from both the staff side and the community side of things. I have been able to learn that not every situation a staff member deals with can be treated the same way. Some people you encounter are totally new to the game and have no idea what they are doing. While others have enough experience to know what they are doing, but just enjoy trolling and causing trouble for the thrill of it. Having enough staff experience allows you to tell the difference between these two and handle them accordingly. If you handle a situation like this wrong, it could cause that harmless new player to turn into someone that just enjoys causing trouble. Before I took a break from GMOD, I was the Staff Director on a American Revolutionary War RP server. This rank taught me how to properly manage a team of people and make sure they are all doing what they are supposed to.
This past spring I graduated from college with a degree in Behavioral Science. This means I took quite a few classes in psychology and non-violent communication. I feel like this will give me an edge over other applicants because I have prior experience in communicating with players that may be frustrated and overwhelmed. These skills I have learned will pretty much perfectly fit the skills someone needs to have in order to deal with the sits that are almost always going on. Overall, I feel like my experience both on GMOD and IRL gives me an edge over other candidates and makes me an excellent choice for the next staff member on Garnet.
Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? When I first started playing GMOD there were a few servers I got in trouble on because I liked trolling around with a few friends. I never did any of that on Garnet though, I don't think I have received a warning through my 578 hours on the server.
Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: I think the last application I made was over two years ago. I'm not sure when exactly.
How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I can be on around 4-5 hours a day most days throughout the week.
If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? When I'm not sitting around I enjoy fishing, going out to the movies, skydiving, and doing other random shit with my friends.
