welp time to become a darkrp main

Wait you're on the active roster right now, so why are you trying to get reserves? Are you planning on resigning soon? Your request was well written and I'm pretty sure I remember you from back then, I'm just a little confused since you are on the active officers list at the moment.

Welcome back Phantom, can't wait to see how you help MRP and hopefully get it back on it's feet. Good luck

I personally think you should just shut down MRP and SWRP and keep the Rust/TTT/DarkRP/Murder(?) servers alive and focus your attention on those servers. It looks like MRP and SWRP are causing you way too much stress for it to be worth to keep up with how poorly things have been going since 2020 began. It'd be a shame to see the entire community shut down because of these two servers where most of the toxicity/mingeness comes from. This is just my opinion, but if these two servers are really fucking your mental health then it just isn't worth keeping them up man. Idk though up to you, it's your community, if you need a complete break then your health should come first over some game servers.

If Garnet actually did say that then it'd be a toxic thing to say sure, but it isn't the reason why the server is the way it is now lol. Garnet's actually right to be honest, but this guy has every right to leave if he wants too. It's sad he isn't sticking around to try and help the issues the server has, but it isn't really his responsibility nor is it his obligation too either. If he doesn't want to help the server return to its "former glory" then so be it. I'm not any better myself honestly, I only really stick around the forums at this point because I like seeing the updates and whatnot even though I don't play anymore. Hence why I try to stay away from suggestions because at this point my opinions on the matter don't really even matter.

If this is possible to add without any major repercussions like lag, then this honestly could open up a whole new world of possibilities in terms of not only combat gameplay but roleplay aspects as well. Obviously hopefully it'd be implemented in a way where it doesn't become was "2016 Air Force" was like where people used WAC more to minge/mindlessly fly around rather than creating any sort of RP experience. If this is possible (which I'm 100% sure it can be knowing some of the people on the server) then I think it'd be a great addition to the server.

Viva pretty much hit the nail on the head with his points he made in my opinion. Although I wouldn't really say GMOD is a dying game, or at least that really isn't a reason on why MRP/SWRP is lacking in numbers. MRP is essentially a TDM server with light sprinkles of "Roleplay" in the mix of it. There's only so much you can do before it gets stale and people leave, like Viva said most people only stay on for wars and then go play something different when peace time occurs. The only things people can do during war is either host/participate in tryouts, sims, or some bullshit training which literally no "regular" recruit even likes doing. Of course there is the rare event some people plan out, but even those get boring/repetitive because there's only so much a regular player can do. I personally think the way PVP works/wars in general needs to be reworked/revamped. Having only 30 minutes of TDM war and then having over an hour of peace time gets so boring the only reason people really stay on the server during peacetime is for tryouts (which in reality are stupid boring themselves, why the fuck do SOC officers feel the need to make them last for 1-2 fucking hours?) or to talk to random people in base who are equally as bored. There's also the fact that there literally isn't a point in becoming an officer anymore when there isn't any real "reward" to it. Again, I know I bitch and moan a lot about reserves being removed but there is literally no point for officers to stick around or even try to decently run a faction when they know they aren't going to get jack shit from it. You need to give people some sort of incentive to stick around and actually care for the faction they lead, whether that be reserves or some other way of rewarding them. Not sure if you saw this thread or not but if you haven't I recommend reading it as it suggests a lot of balances and whatnot to reserves. EDIT: Just saw your latest post, not sure if any sort of system like that was implemented yet for reserves. Definitely should be something Jim or whoever is a manager now should think about if it hasn't been implemented yet. Most of the community wanted it to return in the first place.

-1 Weren't you the guy who was caught hacking and then showed the clip of you hacking on the "resignation" post? And then you continued to act extremely toxic and childish on the thread. The way you left the community was not only toxic but extremely childish, and frankly I don't think you should be able to come back into the community, even if you say you've changed. Ban appeal are not for apologies, and quite frankly I can't believe this got so many +1's as it did. Here's the thread if anyone is interested, not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet: I fucking knew this was going to happen as well, it always does:

this dude is on a speed run to destroy any sort of good reputation he has in the community huh.

Then why would they have the reserves in the first place. A lot of people are trying to get a revamped version of reserves to come back where anyone on it is on a "tight leash" and only a select few people can get on it, preferably they have to get approved by staff first with a new system in place. If people were trying to get the exact old system back into place then I could see where you're coming from, but with a newly revamped system of how reserves work this would hopefully be prevented from occurring. I don't think officers should automatically be put on a reserves list as soon as they resign. Maybe there could be a system put in place where resigning officers can "apply" to be put onto reserves, and they must be approved by faction leaders as well as executive staff on the server. Could be a cool thing to consider. Personally, I don't think old reserves should be reinstated as it would be difficult to determine exactly who was unhelpful/harmful to the factions, it should still start out with a clean slate. Maybe if the idea above was implemented people with old reserves can apply to have their reserves returned where they can then be "evaluated" to see if they can have their reserves back. EDIT: Another argument I've seen is that people only use reserves as a way to get their rank back and gain an unfair advantage compared to other players when they return. We could remove that ability to come back off reserves with the same rank and instead force people to start out at E-4 if they do come back off reserves for that specific faction, this way people who have reserves only have limited "powers" and if they do come off reserves they must start out from E-4 or any other enlisted rank. This way reserves are really only a "title" with minimal power more than a way people can use to cheat the ranking system when they come back.

+1 I agree a lot with the suggestion Conway made, I think a system like that could be beneficial to the server in a lot of ways. That wasn't what was announced when they were officially revamped from what I remember. I was told that the only time you could even get on reserves was if you were unable to get on the server at all, and once you were able to get back on your reserves were removed. So people are now allowed to have reserves and play on the server if they are contributing to the faction?

I mean you could always just bind it to a key so you wouldn't have to type it everytime.

As much as I want reserves to make a comeback, I severely doubt they plan on re-adding it anytime soon. Garnet himself seemed pretty clear that he didn't want anyone using reserves unless they were physically unable to come on for an extended amount of time (so essentially an LOA). The managers also seem pretty keen on keeping the current system in place judging from the last thread. I personally have no idea what happened specifically as to why they removed reserves in the first place, all the managers told people is that people abused it.

Are you leaving the community entirely or just stepping away from MRP? Either way, sad to see you leave. I don't think I agreed with a lot of the changes you made to MRP before I left personally, but you were a great friend and leader when I was under 2GA with you. I wish you the best of luck with whatever the fuck you do next lmao. Add me on discord btw, PrisonNightmare#7061 Lets play together or some shit, maybe you can play Valorant w/ me and @Fetn lmao

Although I don't play MilitaryRP anymore, it's definitely left some very memorable moments for me personally. The most nostalgic days for me were the "wild west" days of the original csc_desert map back in 2016. 2018 was also a really good year for me on the server, definitely made a lot of friends then as well.

Why make a point about a very hot topic, leave it up for 40 minutes and then just randomly delete it? Literally makes no sense with the excuse of "I deleted it because I made my point", why not just leave it up then lol But hey, you do you mate.

It's funny too because as soon as he started getting cringe reacted for it he deleted/edited the original post. If you're going to post for something you believe in at least have the balls to keep it up even if you get shit for it lmao.

Let me know what you think of it! I personally think this one is 100x better than my previous when it comes to ramp/gameplay quality.
