saw this base the other day and thought about reporting it since theres an imaginary kos area, glad to see someone did for those who cant see the video, the toxic bit was wilbur saying - "you're both gonna report me (for the faulty kos sign) i guaran-fuckin'-tee it" - "heh, yeah, im a fucking staff as well, good fucking luck dumb shits" - "here's the thing, i can be as toxic as i want as i don't mean it ... its just a game" so far i see the following staff rules violated: Be respectful to all community members. Keep a mature attitude at all times.

+1 active guy see him a lot

im racking my brain trying to find out what this even means

+1 guys on every day, nice player, good app

I understand what you are referencing, and I can see why you would believe that I am not lenient towards new players. As a player, if I am RDM'd, I would prefer the person who RDM'd me to be warned because that is the same punishment I would get for RDMing someone. As a staff member, for new players, I would most likely jail them to give them the opportunity to read the rules. Like I said in a previous post, the rules appear as soon as you spawn, and for most (if not all) DarkRP servers, RDM, RDA, and NLR are universal rules. You lost me at the second part of this sentence, because it's sort've a double standard in my eyes. Believing in equal punishment and non bias opinions should allow you to see where I come from. A helping hand is what I would offer to all new players in any situation, but if a player is upset they were RDM'd, I would find it unjust to simply let the perpetrator off with a verbal warning because he is new. In my opinion, a player's level has nothing to do with their DarkRP experience, nor does it reflect their ability to play by the rules. I will probably adjust how you see it to how I see it, by instead of observing their level and making my decision based on that, I will look at the player's time played in the server which does reflect their DarkRP experience. I do not want you to see me as a warn-happy tyrant because that is not how I want to be viewed, but in order to uphold "equal punishment and non bias opinions" a player should be punished for his wrongdoings according to the D3A handbook. Of course, there are situations where a player would and should be let off with a verbal warning, but allowing players to simply get off the hook for breaking universal DarkRP rules is not something that I would be able to do as a staff member.

I can understand where you are coming from with this. I wouldn't use the word "ruthless", I would consider myself to be by the book. A rule is broken, there is a punishment for said infraction, and in my opinion the correct punishment should be handed to the player. I only ask for "the most severe action possible" because it's the entire punishment for the rule that was broken. I firmly believe that it is fair to punish all players who break rules regardless of playtime, because in the end, the rules appear on their screen as soon as they spawn. It is the player's responsibility to understand the rules, and it is the player's responsibility to follow them. In a situation where a rule is broken, I believe the player should be punished. I have an example, I reported a level 24 player with 36 hours the other day who broke NLR 5 times, and also FDA'd. This player was let off with a verbal warning and a 10 minute jail because he was new, despite the fact that he had over 24 hours in the server. I mentioned to the staff member that the rules he had broken was far over the limit for a ban, but a jail would suffice because it would allow the player to read the rules. tl;dr, all players are held to the same rules, so all players should receive the same consequences.

I've come to understand that criticizing people without proper reason is not something that should be done. I was younger back when I got banned, and as I look back I can understand that my words and actions were unjust. I was a high-and-mighty dumbass who was unable to see the other person's POV in the situation. I have learned that being rude or demeaning to people (name calling / general immaturity) is not typically accepted anywhere, and I was too set in my own mind to see how others saw a situation. The reason behind my warnings is my inability to prove my innocence in a sit, but since I use shadowplay I have earned 0 warnings. If you know my username you know I report people all the time, I made this staff application so that I can handle the sits instead of make them lol.

In-game name: salami lid Age: 23 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:60642872 Warns: 3 (rdm, failrp, rdm) Timezone: EST Playtime?: | salami lid has played for 891:39:32. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YES Referral(s): Past experiences as staff: i used to staff on here 3 or so years ago Why should we choose you over other applicants?: I believe you should choose me over other applicants because I have experience moderating this server in the past. I have an righteously unbiased mind, and I believe as a staff member I will be able to help the community as a whole in regards to reports. I believe I will be an excellent addition to the staff team, as I take sits as soon as they are made. Recently, I have noticed sits taking longer and longer to be completed (even for a simple RDM case), and occasionally they expire. I see players upset in OOC that staff do not take their sits and allow the perpetrator to continue breaking rules and ruining the player experience. I can assure you that as a staff member I will never let a sit expire, and I will take as many sits as possible as they are abundant. I find joy helping players in need, and being able to be the person that provides the help and assistance is something that I love. E33OR is a role model to me, as he is also genuinely concerned with the wellbeing of the common player, and I see him helping players out of sits every time I see him on. On the occasion that I am accepted, I will put in the same amount of effort with the same amount of care as E33OR does. I believe every player should be treated with respect, and rule breaking players should be punished for their wrongdoings. From my perspective, minges and NITRPers have become an increasingly prevalent issue on this server, and I am making this staff application so that I may assist the community in cleaning up the perps make. As a player myself, it is not fun being prop blocked for 20 minutes while you wait for your sit to expire. As I have said before, I will put in time and effort to ensure the common rule-abiding player's experience is not infringed upon for more than 30 seconds after their report is made. I know what I am doing as a staff member, and can guarantee the server will be more enjoyable for the common player if I am accepted as staff. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server?: i got community banned for being toxic because I was openly critical of the wrong people for no reason. I ended up getting doxxed on the forum by said people. It's a whisper in the wind as the entire community is different, and so is myself. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: 2 in 2016 (MilRP), 1 in 2017 (DarkRP), 1 in 2019 (SWRP), 1 in 2020 (DarkRP) How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 6 hours a day at best If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: Did you read the staff rules?: salami lid

Both the raider and the defender are capable of owning rockets, gas, and grenades. When you raid someone who owns an OP base, you are obviously going to die (most of the time). Perhaps instead of suggesting to remove these tools that can be used by everyone, try not raiding people who will clearly wipe the floor with you.

don't buy a dupe just build better, trust me. watch some videos on how to build in gmod and you will be set for life.

that double kill quickscope at 0:59 tho

Here's some tips if you fear rockets / nerve gas: don't buy a small base that allows for splash damage of a rocket/gas anywhere you are inside. don't build sections of your base that allow for rockets to be fired/gas to be thrown into your base do buy a large base, preferably industrial or a warehouse base do put your fading doors very close to the entrance do stay away from your doors if you are not immediately being raided keep your printers away from the doors/walls (unless its a wall on the edge of the map (like in industrial)

I made the report because despite me reporting this under the table to two different Admins, I've heard no feedback on the situation, so I decided to make an official report. I'm very sorry that you think I made this to tarnish your rep, because I stated only facts and provided the sufficient evidence. If you think this tarnishes your rep them perhaps you should not have done it in the first place. I hate to say the extreme obvious, but the entire essay you posted seems like massive damage control. Calling Theta biased because he reconnected you for placing your hobo hut on top of mine is immature. you know you were wrong, you were proven wrong, and now you can only propagate speculation. I'm not sure why you see this as some personal attack on you. I don't know you, but I thought your behavior in game during this situation was completely immature. You are a T. Admin, I would expect a higher amount of maturity out of you. This is a solid report with a good amount of evidence. I kept out all name calling on the OP because I knew it would be irrelevant, and I knew it wouldn't be necessary. I respect you Krabbe, but please don't make yourself look like a fool.

saying it's failrp isn't going to stop it, and even after a sit the previous mayor doesn't get reinstated. (from prior experience)
