-1 never seen you on SWRP in all 0 hours of my playtime +1 because I don't want to be DDOS'd

+1 there's all kinds of sounds I think are too loud and this is one of the highest on my list

Description: Add missing vapes from the vape plugin to the Donation Portal. Reasoning: Like my previously accepted (but not yet added) suggestion to add the Orange Vape: I feel there are several vapes that I've never even heard of I'd like to see available in some form. Additionally I think all the non-multicolored vapes should be available. Additional Information: These following vapes (marked with an MS Paint lightning bolt) are either missing from the Donation Portal, Unbox, or both. I think we'd have a lot more donations and a wider range of vapes to choose from if we use all that we had.

Glad you're safe man, hope all is well and can't wait to see you when you're back!

Hey man, might not be religious but wishing all the best for you and your mom. We'll all be happy to see you when you're back, no matter how long that will be.

+1 Razer is young yes but he knows when to be mature. Honestly I don't know him super well but I have interacted with him quite a few times and he's always been chill and NEVER toxic which is a great behavior for staff to have. He's super active and knows the game and the rules and I've never seen him get in trouble the whole time I've been on. Additionally, he got Fetn's approval and asked we give him a chance. Fetn has promised us he will do good, so I'm definitely willing to take him on his word alone.

+1 although I have only known Hamas for a week or two, I've seen him on very often because we're both very active and usually grind at similar times (which makes sense, due to your timezone being the same as mine) I've seen him interact with all kinds of people, including those he's raided etc. and I have yet to see anything toxic. How the fuck your app got 451 views?

Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like, but if the Deliveryman tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good! It's your body! No one has the right to touch you if you don't want them to! So what do you do? First, you say no, then you get outta there! Most important, you gotta tell someone you trust, like your parents, your teacher or a police officer.

In-game name: ShankNinja Age: 26 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:18378805 Warns: None active Timezone: CST Playtime?: | ShankNinja has played for 1479:13:53. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: [YES/NO] YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:[YES/NO] YES Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] xFish, Anthony, aidanpoppas123 Past experiences as staff: [Optional] Previously an S.Mod and past experiences on multiple game servers as admin and owner (TF2 and Minecraft). Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] I'll give you four reasons right off the bat: I was previously staff, I have over 1,000 hours on the server (non-idle), I consistently help new players without (and previously with) staffing powers, and I would consider myself one of the more experienced players on the server. Additionally, I've been told by several staff members to apply such as Shin, Fetn, and ajbedhead (I'm sorry if I didn't name anyone I know I have had a few more but I can't remember all of you) although these aren't considered straight referrals. I still have all of my staff binds active and have the D3A/Server Rules/Staff Rules hyperlinked on my Profile so I can quickly grab it from Shift+Tab during a sit, as well as binds to talk during looking at logs for evidence and an expansive hard drive purchased specifically for collecting staff evidence. On top of my staffing experience, I consider myself a rather well-known member of the community and many of you know me to be rather friendly and easygoing. Sure, there's times when I'm not in the best of moods but I generally try to maintain a chill mindset while I am on Garry's Mod because although I'm one of the people who takes it seriously, it is a game after all. For those of you who haven't known me while I was staff, I conduct my sits nonbiased and to-the-rules. I'm not warn-happy so to speak, as I prefer to spend my time explaining the rules to new players and when I see an honest mistake bring somebody into a sit. Sure, many sits require me to warn somebody and I am not above warning or banning somebody even if I have known them for a long time or if they're my friends: Rules are rules, and not enforcing them correctly is just as bad as breaking them. I am one of a small group of people who gets on in the morning and plays all the way through the night. This allows me to cover over 12 hours of gametime on the days that I'm on which provide a wide coverage for sits that need handled. Oftentimes I see the current staff team overwhelmed with sits and have even taken several sits as a temporary mod when they've gotten to near-record-breaking levels. Although I won't always be able to step in, there are plenty of times now when I wish I was able to but can't. Accepting me would help with the lulls in staff activity throughout the day and would provide more opportunities for me to assist players and the server as a whole. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? One ARDM warn for a misclick over a year ago Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes: https://garnetgaming.net/forums/index.php?/topic/9988-shankninjas-staff-application/ on May 19, 2020 How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Although I play for 12+ hours and 3+ days a week, a lot of that time is me working from home and as such I won't be constantly available for sits as I am thrown into a lot of meetings. However, I am well versed in the sit quota and know that the time that I do spend will exceed this when I am not particularly busy. I have held off on putting this app in due to the workload I was under but I currently have a lot more time than in the past as my job has hired new team members to assist with my workload, and is in the process of hiring yet another. My work is unable to make me do overtime as I'm a salary worker and as such that leaves me at least 4 hours per day of "play time" which is where I RP, interact, enjoy whatever's happening in the server and if I'm accepted, take reports. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? My only non-videogame based hobby right now that I still work on is Chess, although I have some Guitar and Drum experience I haven't moved these to my apartment yet so I've been slacking on practive. The games I play mainly are Call of Duty: Cold War, Apex Legends, Overwatch, as well as many singleplayer games when I have the time; Although to be honest I don't have much time apart from Garry's Mod, working out, seeing my family and maintaining my job. I'm currently studying for my Salesforce Administration certificate which also takes up a lot of free time, although I wouldn't consider it a hobby it's definitely a time-consuming activity. Did you read the staff rules?: ShankNinja

Hello Garnet Gamers, Being someone who often sends out the addon pack for Garnet Gaming's DarkRP Addons to new and old players alike, I've come to notice that there were quite a few addons that the server uses which weren't included in the pack as this pack is not being updated currently. One example is the m9k specialties pack that people who load in are without, so they're unable to see certain weapons. As a result I've taken it upon myself to take all of the files from the old pack, and from a fresh install of Garry's Mod (and personal knowledge) put together nearly double the original amount of addons (23 to 40 currently) to make loading into the server take less time for those who load into it often enough to make it worth your while: Garnet Gaming DarkRP 2021 Addon Pack Please use this thread to suggest any other addons that may have been missed (as I'm sure there are a few) and I will update them into the addon pack!

+1 Adric is nice, and although I haven't known him long, has always been chill and pretty active. Think he'd be a great fit for the team.

It's called Swag, look it up

Description: Previously it was unknown that the prestige capacity was 10. Seeing Garnet walk around as prestige 100 (and now 101) would lead most to believe that 10 is not the capacity. Currently due to the capacity I have lost (another) 10mill trying to prestige: It will remove the money upon hitting agree and then inform you that you cannot prestige beyond 10. Reasoning: [how would this benefit our server?] This would remove the cap on level progression and allow for the money sink that prestiging should be to not have a capacity of 10. Additional Information:

+1 Titan is smart, fair, and previously a great staff member so I have zero doubts he will be again.

+1: old staff, high playcount, and I know sofaa to be very chill and nontoxic which I believe to be key attributes for staff. I think you might want to reword this. You've been staff twice, you surely know all the rules by now but I think you may have misworded this on accident?

Description: Treat Bartender similarly to the Drug dealer. He would have his normal stock to sell from, but instead of only being able to sell 1 beer and 1 water (and 1 lean, etc...) at a time he would be able to buy any amount like any other classes. Currently, if you drop a beer and someone runs off with it, you're unable to buy another one and must swap classes. There's also no rule stating that someone who bought a beer must drink it right away, so since that isn't stealing there's nothing preventing someone from buying your items and running it to their base to hold onto. The Drug Dealer can buy shipments of every drug in a crate. I think it would make sense for a bartender to do so as well, as this would allow to have "beer on tap" or to buy in bulk to save operating costs. Reasoning: More bars would be run and as a result it would enrich one of (in my personal opinion) the funnest roleplays in the server: Operating and/or drinking/chilling in a bar. This change would save people time, money, and prevent griefing the bartender. Lastly, there is currently no way to crack open a six pack of beers or buy a round for the whole bar without having to give someone a beer, watch them drink it, then move onto the next person. Additional Information: Lean spawns inside of the dumpsters for hobos, leading them to be able to produce more lean than the actual class that has traditionally sold such an item. If it was an issue of too many entities on the map, it shouldn't be included in the dumpster.

Understandable, have a nice day. But seriously, grats everyone

I'm going to say -1 for the following reasons: The XP multiplier exists, yes. But this doesn't begin to actually provide a meaningful benefit for new players until they're on for multiple hours at a time. For someone who can base with 2 or more printers for 6-12 hours at a time, yes the multiplier will make it much easier to gain levels, but for a new player that multiplier just barely makes the reworked deliveryman feasible. I know people with over a hundred hours that aren't at Mayor level yet and that's not uncommon because these are people playing the Roleplaying Server by Roleplaying and not by grinding. This is a point that Shin brought up, along with the fact that a new player is almost never able to consistently farm a printer by themselves as they don't know the capabilities of raiders, don't have ADV Dupe or the building experience required to make a base, strong guns, good perks, trustworthy friends to party with, I could go on and on. I'm curious what the playtime of this user is. It's very feasible, before the XP Multiplier update, to get to level 40 in just 3 days (ask me how I know) even with a small amount of printers. Just AFKing for ~6hrs a day for 3 days gets you level 10+ just from the AFK experience you get, and if you do ANY job for a few hours each of those 3 days level 40 is achievable in no time. Circling back to my first point on this; that player would need to have been connected for over 12 hours to even get the 2x multiplier. Anyone who grinds for 12 hours is going to get to whatever level they want, assuming raiders etc. don't get in their way. The only thing I might agree with on this is bumping cop from 9 to 10-12; a minor bump that requires an extra little bit of effort (and therefore learning a bit more of the rules along the way) before getting the class that can arrest and gets a free gun. But even then I think level 9 isn't too low. I could go on and on honestly but I think I explained myself well enough...

+1 Robbing the bank sounds like a solid suggestion, beings that it exists. I can't think of a better class to do it than the Bank Robber class.

+1 based with him and known him a while (not as long as some of you) he's old staff and has TONS of experience. Easy accept imo

I've never had a problem with him. However I've known this community to pick on younger kids in the past and usually use the rules against them, knowing that it's hard for someone of that age to memorize and have the ability to follow all of them at all times. Doesn't mean he doesn't deserve his bans; but I think it's pretty obvious he's being picked on for his age. I hope he decides to come back and try to learn from his mistakes. He shouldn't be getting banned for the same things multiple times in a row however, that shows an unwillingness to learn or an inability to understand the rule itself.

Hi all, I was playing around in Singleplayer and noticed that the server is missing out on what I think is a pretty awesome materials pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=381633730 This pack adds Emerald, Amber, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Garnet, Sapphire, Gold, and Platinum. If it was forced in the addon pack at server launch (unlike the current Gold texture on the server) then it would make event-specific areas really shine (literally) and lead to some pretty cool art, or "find the item" events as it's a little easier to spot and can't be mistaken for anything else. I can think of one specific instance this would be really cool: Here's the picture used in the addon pack for a wider example:
