Everything is water and bridge ozzy. You did a finer job keeping the community afloat than I ever did/could. my personal feelings aside that is all that matters with your position. Great manager, great member of the community as a whole. It's a shame we didn't get along when you first came back, and it took some time trying to approach you to try and help pushing for change in the community. Even though you knew how my time as an executive went, and were critical of me back then, you still considered my opinions and we talked a ton when Garnet accepted me back into staff. For a brief moment I thought I had made good friends with two people I used to hate (you and Jake), and like we would make a damned good team for the community. Lake Tahoe is absolutely wonderful, I used to go there with my grandfather before he passed. I'm glad that going there helped you come to realizations in your real life. God knows I felt those same things. I guess it's a certain point when you finally realize adulthood has caught up with ya, and that life has passed you by. Everyone you knew has moved on but you're still holding on for dear life to the things that keep you from moving on and dealing with real life. At least thats what it was for me. Much love Ozzy, my DM's are always open to you man. I consider us better friends than you may think

Gonna disagree based on this statement alone. Much easier to headglitch if u dont even have to show a single pixel before peeking out. Gonna self snitch here but it was WAY easier to headglitch when all I had to do was hide with my head out of sight entirely in third person, and only peak after I know an enemy is running through my sightline. -1 As an edit to add onto the rest of the post With br0ken saying he'd like crouch jumping unbanned that just removes all desire for me to imagine that those you spoke to about this suggestion didn't agree based on "countering headglitching", but they were more inclined to agree since they'd like to freely exploit for easier kills during war. I made a big push for the removal of crouch jumping during my time as an executive due to the horrendous nature of combat it encourages. And seeing that the current team of executives is currently pushing for the server to once again be more RP oriented, third person and crouch jump exploiting are laughably left behind as exploits that helped push RP away from GGMRP in the first place.

+1 Bishopil is a real one. And also the dude took SWRP super seriously when I was playing for the short time I did. Say what you will about his MRP track record, but in SWRP he put in work.

MP for event purposes is fine in my eyes so long as the members have a firm grasp on RP and don't act stupid during events. However MP as an all-time faction would be a nightmare and I hope if this idea comes to be that it isn't turned into an all time faction later down the line.

Idk man. A lot of people seem to think that map rotation and player engagement/retention/accessibility co-exist. I tend to agree. I think rather than doing yet another map swap, Nutter should just update the current one with changes that might keep players engaged, while allowing new players to feel at home in a familiar yet everchanging environment. Not to mention consistent rotation has usually meant tweaks to the next map need to be made due to changes in many different updates garnet applies to various things while the players are on any given map (think weapon tweaks, added factions, roleplayability, etc.) which in turn sucks more dev time for the actual important shit traded for mind numbingly dull hours in hammer. Im all for tweaking the current map, but rotations haven't played out all too well imo

I remember you sending me something like this back when we were trying to pin shit down together. Glad to see you back to it with a good team behind you. A lot of the MRP ideas are exciting so, hopefully we can see some iteration of those things.

I was trying to do more RP shit when I had frogmen, I hope you can get that shit going right Tora. It ain't easy when half the server pop doesn't care about it.

Not the place to be reflective on your past mistakes. I swear more and more I see vets coming back, playing for a bit, getting cynical about current rules or "the state of the server", doing some dumb shit to get permed, failing to appeal their ban within a reasonable time span, and then "regretting" their decision and creating an apology appeal waaaaay long after the fact. What frustrates me about these appeals isn't even the offense itself, it's the callous behavior followed by a ban you went out of your way to get, which you now think should be lifted because "I've changed guys! I've put a lot of work into myself and my behavior!" Same shit vizii had been on and off of, he didn't get a pass, why should you? I mean, I've talked to Vizii plenty following his com ban, and he's adamant that he has love for the server and wants to come back and help, but he doesn't get a pass there. -1 for sure.

Bruh I've never ever seen someone get a 2 pack with that gun let alone 4. Sheeeesh.

Its pretty common knowledge on the server at this point that simply talking about shit in TS doesn't get anything done, regardless of if word gets back to the Executives or not. Making a forum thread about it essentially has the ability to centralize all those complaints or feedback into a thread where executives can comb over it rather than just listen to people in TS. Going around in TeamSpeak asking peoples opinions on shit had to be my least favorite responsibility as manager. Idk whos leading DF rn, but if it's Ozzy I'm not 100% surprised given what happened with seals and their activity.

I've remained relatively silent on your push to reforming, but I think there's a case to be made about perspective and reputation, given that a lot of your arguments with people -1ing you have to do with "well you can't just base your opinion off of my through what other people say!!!!" To which I respond, yes I can. People involved in far more than just a gaming community do that exact thing all the time. Applying for a job? Well chances are they'll call your previous employer and ask about you, to which your prev. employer will respond positively or negatively, and this can either hinder or boost your ability to get the job. You wanna finance a car? Credit history. The loan officers are going to call on multiple debts and stuff, and look into that history. Bad history? No loan / higher down payment. The reason I use those as examples is because they don't care what YOU think about yourself now, they care about the word of others experience of you, much like here in your appeal. If the community was entirely wiped and filled with brand new players who have never heard of you, I think you'd have a great shot at getting unbanned IF Garnet himself doesn't give a shit. However, given that much of the community since you were last actively playing has changed, we only have the word of older community members to rely on. If Jackal is still controversial because of actions people remember... If Phantom is still regarded as a great SA because people remember... If I'm still a shit manager in MRP's history, it's because people remember. Why should your case be any different? And why should invalidating their claims against you earn you a place back within the community? I remember during my time as manager, people were worried you were trying to come back to the community, and told me to instantly ban you if you did try (which of course I wouldn't) but to me that says a lot about you that people would actually worry when murmurs came through of you trying to be back. This thread is an apology, and a tired one at that. I've seen YOU talk more about you reforming, than I've seen others talking about it. At a certain point executives capable of unbanning need to look to the opinions of others. The saying is "don't judge a book by it's cover" , Not "Don't judge a book by It's actions." In this case, your actions in the past have fucked you man.

Staff team looking fucking stacked and good.

Well Eli is still active, and essentially confirmed what I said. So for the couple months I haven't played, Acer still has the problems I saw when I was playing.

-1 from me. -Severely lacking in maturity, and not likely to change given how long its been an issue with you. -Disrespectful and/or toxic in OOC. At least back when I was playing this was another problem I always saw with you. Its 5am and I just woke up, ill probably add to this later. But yeah its a -1 for me. You have tendencies and behaviors that remind me of some players that I'm just happy don't play anymore, and you don't seem to have much control over it giving how even in something as serious as tryouts you'd minge, break PTS, talk shit, etc etc.

Delta. It's always been my favorite map even though I've only been on it once, and that's when it originally released. Probably because it's the first map that I came up on in the server. Anyway it'd be cool to see warehouse (or w/e the warehouse like obj on that map's name is) get replaced with an obj from another map. I personally liked mosque a lot on Omega. Silo can probably use a couple of changes, maybe more than 1 way to actually get into the cap point short of lobbing grenades up the stairway hoping you'll kill whoever is camping there. I also don't see the problem with staying on omega and just adjusting that map to make it better. We never got that Taiga theme update for it, nor did we get the update that would add more cover throughout the map and stuff. Overall, it'd be cool to see that map get the changes it should. If I could vote for both then I would.
