    • No SteamID in the SteamID field
    • No Playtime listed
    • Missing one paragraph (The 'Why should we choose you over other applicants?' section requires 2 paragraphs
    • Didn't read the staff rules

    I suggest:

    • Use https://steamid.io/ to pull your SteamID
    • Use /playtime ingame to see your playtime and put that in the application
    • Edit your post to include another paragraph if you are able to modify it while it's still up
    • For " How much time do you have to contribute to the role?" it's referring to the staff role, so this would be usually the weekly amount of hours you could dedicate.
    • Read the staff rules more carefully

    Also, a blanket suggestion: Read some of the past accepted/denied staff applications to give yourself an idea of what we're looking for and the types of applications we turn away. Best of luck!

  2. -1

    For these reasons:

    • For "How much time do you have to contribute to the role?" you just put "Hours"
    • Playtime is referring to your total server playtime, not your schedule
    • You claim to "read the rules constantly" but you didn't even read the staff rules.
    • Your ban(s) lack details/explanation

    I suggest:

    • Use /playtime to get your exact playtime
    • Use /warnmenu to get your active warns (past expired warns are less important on these applications - we won't expect you to remember them)
    • For SteamID place the SteamID value (not SteamID64) so for yours it would be STEAM_0:1:483705189
    • For "How much time do you have to contribute to the role?" explain on average how many hours a week you'll be able to contribute to staffing.
    • You actually have two bans, here is the screenshot for your future reference/if you reapply:xMdO71U.png
    • Lastly, I suggest you read the staff rules very carefully before reapplying.

  3. I'm going through a lot of stress and mental funk lately and I don't think I can fulfil my responsibilities this month. I won't go any further for my own sake.

     

    Should be back in 2 weeks or so.

    Description: Sorry I don't know where else to post this. My game has seemed to crash much more since the latest update. Once I log into the server I get lua errors for oldbarhud, promethius, witcher gates, and bizzyvapes. I've tried a handful of things and nothing has made a change for me. I reported myself and talked to an admin who said that he was also getting the lua errors. I just wanted to make this known in the case that something could possibly be done on my end or the server's end to improve this. Thanks! P.S. I love the new grove street playermodels. Big thanks to Proggy and Garnet.

    P.S. I love the new grove street playermodels. Big thanks to Proggy and Garnet.

    Prometheus is always the one that seems to crash my various computers about 10hrs into playing.
    Bizzyvapes almost always gives my lower-end CPU issues about an hour into playing. Everywhere I play has the "oldbarhud" and "hats" errors begin occurring as well.

    I thought Prometheus was an issue on my end but it's somehow refreshing to know I'm not crazy, as I've spent hours trying to correct this on my end to no avail. These issues began for me around December, which definitely was an impact in losing motivation to play as often that month or the month after.

    Dan the man. Great referrals, awesome application, and lots of playtime.

    P.S.

    I personally don't think you messing around once as a user should be grounds to not become staff.

    If there wasn't any sit or punishment, how big of a deal could it be? Frank himself was in the screenshot and didn't say -1 until someone else did; that alone tells me that Frank didn't think it was an actual problem until he saw others did. I see current staff (L.Admin+ even) get away with far worse than just having fun, and I don't think we should hold him to any higher standards than any other player of the game.

    Maybe what looks like DarkRP in the screenshot really was an awful horrible experience that impeded on the experiences of others. I don't know though, because there's no video and I am not hearing about any punishment he received. If he wasn't reported, did this really impede on anyone's gameplay?

    Innocent until proven guilty? I personally prefer not to hold someone accountable for something that was so minor they didn't/couldn't even receive punishment for it. I'd sooner base my judgment on the punishment he received and the events leading up to it, than micro-analyze one single situation like he was trying to actually ruin the game for others without proper evidence or context.

     A couple months ago, an rpg or an ex41 would go for like 375k, you wouldnt see people selling them for like 7 mil and 9 mil like how you would see them today

    when I started RPG7 was roughly 7 million. After Unbox added the cheaper RPG crate, the lowest I've seen it sell for was 1 million. And this was when it was in a 100K crate (Pirate Crate RIP)
    EX41 sold for a bit cheaper than the RPG because it's less useful and arguably the weakest right next to the M79

    I'd say +1 to making the percentages closer to what they were before the crate was nerfed but I think the rates offered here are a bit high. If we could look at the probability as it currently stands we could more easily decide what would be a fair compromise, because as most of us know: buying crates for an RPG is designed to waste your money as opposed to outright buying them.

    Otherwise, I'm going to have to say Neutral which I hate doing. But I can't -1 or +1 this without more accurate information, perhaps from Proggy or Nutman.

    Do I even have to say anything? The new players that this benefits the most would get to play the fun jobs faster. 
    If done for printers I don't think it should carry over multiple levels i.e. if I am level 1 and I collect 100k it shouldn't put me past level 3 (in my opinion)

  8. Description: Citizen class named "Resident" with absolutely no changes to it other than that it will get climb_swep2
    The rules will function no differently than citizen, and will use the exact same models.

    I suggest making this require :
    Level 1 - Prestige 2
    No slot restrictions

    But I could see benefit of making it a prestige 1 class as well, that's just my thought on making prestige 2 more sought after which is currently the soft-cap not including cosmetics.

    Reasoning: Much like the very-popular and absolutely based Adept Officer, creating a prestige job for a standard role that adds a climb swep will see more use.
    This isn't overpowered on the citizen; they are only allowed to counter.
    Furthermore, anyone who has prestiged even once will know these rules, so I can't see any issues.

    You’ve been very toxic in game and to the point where you go “yeah just resolve you guys can’t do your job right anyways” I dont think that this is the mindset a staff member should have -1

    -1 toxic to community when basing... not to mention during previous sits with this guy...

    speaking from experience

    Can either of you DM me or post onto here some examples or evidence of this? Lack of examples lead me to believe this is more of an RP grudge as opposed to a general toxicity problem, which is why I'd love to hear more so I can know all of the facts.

    If he's really toxic... and this is his staff application... wouldn't you want to include a bit of proof of your claims? Like a screenshot of him being toxic perhaps?

    ---

    I think your paragraphs look/sound great and it feels like more of a serious job application rather than I am used to seeing. I think based on what you've said you're more than qualified to staff on this server.

    +1

    However, if any of the people making unbased claims about you being toxic decide to actually back it up with proof I am likely to change this to a -1.

    Crowbar

    Re-created the SWEP using our servers' modified M9K base, testing will be taken care of by myself or @Proggy before implementation

    Wow this is a LOT of nuts stuff... Metrocop obviously GOATed but gold weapons and skins too? Crowbar? M9k frags? New CP classes? This sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

    Thanks for the update and looking forward to seeing it when it drops!

    I see people run RP mafia all the time and having an established mafia player class/faction would be awesome!

    But this is the reason that's provided when I tried adding Metrocop to Police so I don't think it will be added:
    6inathq.png

     

    Honestly I think this would be a pretty great addition. I'm not crazy on all of the models but I think just adding even a Don would be a pretty decent addition, with no limit on the criminals he can have in his mafia. Maybe an exception to allow hitmen to base with him? I don't know.

    I'll say Neutral because I'd like to wait for Proggy's suggestion to get an official response and I also think this suggestion is a bit busy, although I know it's all just loose suggestions and done so that it isn't a blank and uninteresting page (which is a good idea).

    If his gets added I'll +1 this to be next on the radar for new factions. But as it stands, new 'factions' are technically still against the rules; although Proggy's suggestion could create a "supreme court ruling" of sorts.

    Even with this I feel that this issue could still be a thing (people placing hits with their alts). So maybe just make the hit auto expire if you become a hit man?? This could be tricky to code, but I don’t know a single thing about coding soo, unless this isn’t possible, you have my +1

     

    I’d also like to add that our logs have hit information, it even tells us who placed the hit. So I think we just need to put this rule in the rule book and we should be good to go 🙂

    This is already in the rules:

    Quote

    USE COMMON SENSE
    Do not abuse exploits or loopholes

    As has been stated, hit logs (assuming they're currently working - I haven't used them in a while) would show if someone is exploiting/loopholing an RP job in a metagaming/FailRP way.


    I don't see exploiting in the D3A but I have seen people permanently banned for this before. If killing one person and going through all these hoops to make it look like it was valid is worth a permanent ban, then you're going to just have to hope the staff you get doesn't know how to check logs.

    It's definitely possible to disallow accepting a hit placed by the specific user to not be accepted by that user (one simple check in the logic) but I would consider this a very low-priority development as I've never seen it be a problem in the past.

    too many buttons

     

    It was already buffed from 2 to 3 I think that is plenty for any base. Never seen a good base that used more than 3 buttons and never seen a hobo somehow fit 5 buttons in a 6x6

    Additionally prop limit is 70 at low pop so that'd be 7 buttons if we followed you suggestion all the way.

    If you really need more buttons, prop buddy someone and work with them.

    In-game rank: L.Mod
    Timezone: CST
    Length of LOA: 2 week (1/5/2022)
    Reason: I am currently responsible for a major org migration project, two different audits, product license migrations, along with a lot of other really technical and boring stuff. Additionally, the holidays have put a wrench in what I'm capable of spending my time on. I won't be able to become active again until the 3rd at the earliest, but by the 5th I should have my head back above water.

    I hope all of you reading this have Happy Holidays of your own and I believe we will all get through it in one piece. It might not feel that way right now, but I have to believe 🙂
