-1 - Min age is 15 to apply without a ref from a manager+ - three active warns is too many for me, I would want to see those become inactive before I support an application. - refs are for current staff only - sentences are incomplete and end just to hit a sentence count to be two paragraphs (which it is not) "you should choose me as a staff member over other applicants because." is not a sentence. overall, you need to spend more time on your app and speak to a manager+ about possibly being able to apply before you meet the age requirement.

+1 Grammar is rough around the edges, but you listen to constructive criticism well which makes me more comfortable with your maturity. You also did not hide your ban. you have a lot of playtime and read the staff rules the first time, so I don't see any reason not to give you a shot. Good luck!

-1 1. only one paragraph, min is two. 2. "referer" @Haze4269 said they never gave you their referal. (this is the big one) 3. I have not seen you active at all recently. That may just be my experience, but many others corroborate this.

Neutral Paragraphs are still not great but others have said they had good interactions with you, and you have a good ref. I would def work on your app a bit more, as its a reflection of how much you actually want to become staff. Good luck!

the world is not safe with Admin Sofia. (congrats) Congrats all promos!

-1 You need the referral of a manager+ to override the age requirement. Otherwise your two paragraphs appear AI generated and you have not read the staff rules. I also don't recall any interactions with you personally.

(I have a lot more hours then this, but they got reset a while ago lol)Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: YES Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: YESDo you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YESReferral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] Past experiences as staff: 2015-2015 Divinity RP (rip) Moderator 2016-2016 Static Servers (rip) Moderator 2018-2019 Garnet Gaming HR Lead Admin 2019-2020 Garnet Gaming DRP 2 (RIP) HR Trial Admin Why should we choose you over other applicants?: [minimum 2 paragraphs] To introduce myself, I was a Lead Admin during the Evity period of DRP and have been playing on garnet since 2017. I departed the staff team and garnet when I enlisted in the US Army in 2019. I recently was accepted into the green to gold program (enlisted to officer), so I will have quite a bit of free time on my hands while I obtain my bachelors degree in order to commission. I especially have a lot of free time right now during the summer, and in future summers as well. I returned because garnet gaming scratches an itch for decent RP without the insane crap some of the other DRP servers are peddling (200+ jobs is not a flex, and I am not reading your bible sized rulebook on all of them). I have extensive experience and hours of both staffing and RP, as well as managing personnel and Human Resources tasks from both DRP and my previous job where I assisted the commander (officer) and first sergeant (Senior Enlisted Leader) in managing ~150 soldiers. I am also a stickler for server rules and conduct, as there really are not many rules to follow on Garnet compared to other servers which is part of why I like Garnet as a server so much. The rules Garnet does have are very necessary, and part of the reason for my application was playing an indie game called Aneurysm IV, which had many amazing game-play elements but was completely ruined by lack of moderation. Many people say that DRP Rules are overbearing and hinder roleplay (which I agree with on many other servers) but the moment you take it away you find out why they exist. Instances like this are what make me passionate for maintaining a good space for RP and thus make me a good staff member. I have extensive experience in Gmod DRP staffing, and DRP staffing with D3A and garnet in particular, being a former lead admin. As a service member I also understand quite a few things that make a sound administrator, such as doing the right thing when nobody is watching, giving both reward and punishment impartially, and setting the standard for good conduct and appearance. I am not unreasonable, and I am forgiving to newer or younger players as they get started in DRP. My kindness is not weakness, however. If somebody obviously has no intention of role-playing or makes the same mistakes twice having been told directly by myself or other staff members, they will be swiftly reprimanded. I am also skilled with administrative tasks such as managing large amounts of personnel and maintaining documentation using applications like MS Excel and MS Access. I have extensive experience training personnel and handling complaints. I am unafraid to respectfully give input when I believe someone is being treated unfairly by staff or another player. Overall, you should choose me for staff because I have the Experience to Lead, Knowledge of Administration and sound intellect to enforce good conduct and ensure the Roleplay experience on Garnet stays as good as it always has been. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: Real long time ago I was removed from staff on DIV rp due to a enforcement disagreement. cant really remember the details bc it was a decade ago and I was 13 but I am sure you could find it with the wayback machine if you were inclined. Otherwise no. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes, on the old forums in 2018. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: During the summer I can contribute ~19 hrs per week minimum, when college starts up again it will probably be more condensed to the weekends and for shorter periods when things get busy. still should be able to contribute at least 15 hrs a week most of the time because my degree is not that hard. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: US Army ROTC, IM Lacrosse, getting my PPL, and gettin them gains . Did you read the staff rules?: Zaroni Pepperoni

Based and Brazil pilled nice job!

Being completely honest, you seem immature ingame. That's something that can be worked on and improved, but its going to hold me back from supporting you unless you blow me away with your app. your paragraphs are also all over the place and does not give me confidence in your application, and you also have quite a few warns. Overall this will be a -1 from me. Edit: By improving your paragraphs I did not mean via chat GPT. cmon now, this is not assuaging my concerns about your maturity.

I have had good interactions with you ingame, and you seem mature. Your age is a plus and you have a good amount of playtime. Your application is well put together and you read the staff rules the first time. Only thing I would be careful of is 0400 is quite late (or early even), be sure to not bite off more then you can chew especially when you have other obligations. Overall a strong +1 from me, best of luck to you!

This needed more time in the oven, that is barely one paragraph. Please read the staff rules again closer this time. make changes and I may reconsider. -1

-1 very obvious hacking.

Please follow the format and read the staff rules.

then you would be a +1 lmao

+1 Very subjective evidence, false report is more reserved for joke reports or report spam, not with users who may or may not have an issue with a player breaking a perceived rule, even if you think it is sort of a revenge report, just find the innocent/ guilty party, and resolve it, simple as that.

weather or not a report was made is irrelevant. to my knowlage, you had a failbase. as such a report is not required in such a situation. if this is an incorrect interpretation please tell me in forum dms, as i dont want to continue adding topics over and over to this thread.

disrespecting staff on duty is dis in ooc due to the fact that staff are not role-playing, and anything you say to them is interpreted as out of character. he did not have to speak to you. that was just an example.

-1 when staff on duty comes and talks to you, it instantly becomes a sit. all conversations with staff on duty are OOC by their definition, so disrespecting them is dis in sit or dis in ooc, whichever you prefer. in regards to if someone reported you, we have rules on failbases for a reason. the reason staff dont have sits for rdm or nlr without a report, is because you dont understand the situation in order to make a judgement. however with failbase, there is no such problems, as a failbase is a failbase regardless of reason. if a staff member asks you to fix it, you do so. (not sure on the whole taking own sit part though)

+1 being a manager on drp 1 and cheating on mrp, not my definition of classy.

-1 a very poor line of reasoning for a very poor choice of words.

+1 good guy, did stupid thing, i think he should be unbanned.

does this mean fury forums will be replaced with a DRP#2 section on garnet forums?

@The King of Rohan @ExoticNinja this has been fermenting here for a while now.
