This has gotta be a jokkkkkkeeee whiskey. 2 paragraph minimum not two sentence. -1

Ngl I would like to see what money can be used and spent on before we start messing with wage rates once everything’s laid out on the table I’ll +1 or -1 Also afg isn’t gonna be in the server and I think there’s gonna b more than one base faction so idk how that gonna affect this or if itd just be replaced with corresponding ranks for RU

+1 from what I've seen church has been an exceptional leader he's mild mannered and very mature. Looking forward to seeing some sick events based off your application. Good luck!

Explaining why you were community banned in the first place and than explaining what you will do better now that you have been given an opportunity to prove yourself is a great start. I mean you literally have the words 'I hate it here" and 'i'm free...' in your signature. You were previous staff and veteran you know how these appeals work but if you genuinely dont care enough to even explain what you did wrong and how you will be better this time I have no idea why the appeal was lifted! Hope you come back with a more positive attitude than what was atleast displayed on the MRP side of things.

Nice to see and re-confirm that people are capable of change. I for one have seen significant improvement in Conway’s motivation and dedication to the server despite me and him having a rough past he’s been extremely supportive recently. I hope to see a new era of MRP blossom backed with a new- confident management team. Good looks.

I don’t believe tags would be anymore ‘confusing’ than pictures, gifs, or multi-colored sentences in signatures which take up significantly more space than tags. And when it comes to professionalism I mean there’s literally a category called ‘shitpost central’ I don’t think a SMALL number of tags set at high prices (so the amount of people that have them is small) would effect any new player’s perspective on the community if anything it would peak their interest and further community engagement by creating conversations around the tags. Additionally, when it comes to the topic of simplicity and professionalism have you taken a look at the many ‘simple’ and ‘professional’ ways you can react to a post. I mean I can make a shit emoji or a baby crying appear under someone’s application that they spent a week creating but can’t have ‘Minge’ as my tag!?

Description: With the recent addition of forum tags and the temporary shut down of MRP I think a small temporary revenue stream can be generated through donations for certain tags on the forums. Other servers have done this for players on the forums and I think it could be really cool and unique if implemented correctly. Basically, a player would donate to receive a unique forum tag (up to the discretion of management) just like TS tags we could have things like ‘Minge’, ‘Furry’, ‘PETA Fanatic’, and what ever other shit you can think of! Tags can be multi colored and Since the value of said tags is already fairly high you could charge pretty good prices. And for a significant price you could allow players to customize their own tags (with rules of course). This is a small suggestion so it’s understandable if it isn’t accepted or implemented but it would be pretty cool to see everyone with their own special tags! Reasoning: increased revenue while it may be small could build up over time dependent on the pricing. Additional Information: I suggest making the costs for these fairly high to increase the value they have to them so PLEASE DO IT CONWAY GET IT DONE

@AlexConway Lemme cop that vet tag pour favor

Amazing, how you still consistently and efficiently run this huge community after all these years despite the hardships. I'm positive proggy will be missed but just how it previously was Evity and then Proggy stepped up to the plate. I believe it safe to say in the future a trustworthy figure will make it apparent to you that they can get the job done. Best of luck and thanks again for all the work over the like 6-7+ years I don't even know now how long it's been.

I would copy the old rules paste them here highlight the rules you want removed in red highlight the rules you want edited in yellow and highlight the rules you want added in green that’ll make it easy for people to tell what you want added or removed

+1

+1 to the model changes the green's prolly just one of the most unattractive models. It has been like this for years though so I doubt there'll be much push to get this done prolly low priority.

ON ACCIDENT?!?!?! -1

Excellent point would like to see some specifics in regards to Rangers and TSFU but Bishop seems to address that in his reply and I think as he stated a definite thing that we would need to have if this suggestion is accepted is someone heading up the implementation of it and allowing the community to give input that is actually addressed when the time comes. While utility and equipment are cool implementations, I don't think it will push people far enough to choose Rangers over GB and vice versa (Removing the basic need or feeling of having to move up in the server which drives a lot of new players to remain playing). The main thing that makes them different currently and actually causes people who know what the classes are to join is the 'Ghost' class and GB's explosives (Or just the idea of CQC v Long range) these are two of the most apparent aspects of the factions that if removed could really damage how people would want to join either. I believe in terms of 'skill' it goes DF -> 75th -> GB and if we wanted to keep that same idea I think we should have something more than just utilities that distinguish them (Same goes for 055 and TSFU on tali). @Ziggy I believe previously you talked about the implementation of a skill system. If we could find a way to allow certain regiments very distinctive separate skills upon joining, that base army and tail would be aware of in war or peacetime it would greatly up the motivation to join and make both regiments more distinct. These skills would only be applicable when they are playing on the SOC's Class and would be disabled if joining a different class. Overall, +1 just some little tiny things I love bugging bishop about that will most likely be addressed if the suggestion is accepted. Things that would be nice to see specifics on when the time comes: Pilot Accessibility and rule enforcement. (Is it up to GA/Marshal; What heli's will they have access to. any attack helicopters?) When saying limit user weapon use to 1 Primary and 1 Secondary does this include donors? If so what system would we use to enforce this and how consistently can we change the weapons. Every peacetime, Every war? What was going through our head when the peacetime capture points suggestion was denied?!?!?!

The focus on the GM team is great. Actually- finally keeping track of their RP and OOC events aswell as establishing ranks such as GM Director and Asst. director was much needed inorder to keep events on the server clean and fun. Also, pushes them to do better and keep activity up. What was once barely focused on and considered a static boring rank that you'd get worn out or bored of eventually is now being looked upon as a more organized role with requirements. Love the constructive criticism aswell good job guys.

isn’t this all the same idea or event? I have nothing against you personally whiskey but these event ideas are extremely bland and over used. Think out of the box what’s something that hasn’t been done before or something that has and can be improved get specific and detail I mean ur Gamemaster rank is going to be centered around creating fun, realistic, and ideal events so this part of your application is probably the most important and requires the most amount of detail. -1, Until event ideas are improved/elaborated on.

(Shield and Speed Boost and weapon additions/Increases) : -1 reasoning - You have a good pov on this with the increase of incentive to join SOC and giving more players a reason to join those factions. However, not only does this further the negative impact on new players and making that learning curve even greater than it already is but the general idea is for SOC to be greater skill wise than other players and that skill and player to player interaction is what is supposed to create an incentive to join the faction shield implementations and speed boosts listed are totally going to break down newer players more and push them away IF ANYTHING base faction should have a greater shield percentage than SOC. Would much rather see ppl gain speed and shield boosts from crafting or general player interaction p.s - even if you were to say ‘speed buffs or hp buffs are mostly or aimed towards donor classes’ it doesn’t matter because the people getting those classes are still of tier 1 like fuckin skill and they most definitely will be able to use that class better than a base faction donor or machine gunner. p.p.s - headglitching with a one shot sniper + 10% speed boost for strafing on those newbies?!?! No shottt (Flashes and Smokes) +1, great equipment that is greatly underused. Would be sick to see breaching techniques set up with these. (Explosives) -1, Currently I think the use of explosives if great across the board no reason to add additional explosives basically just a new player killer aswell and take almost no skill to use

-1, 'Big brother bullying' doesn't push anyone to do better it actually creates a general I wanna say aura of toxicity. MRP hasn't become soft even back than talking over bodies was frowned upon and people would even go as far as calling others out in OOC if you did it. Its not hard to keep shit to yourself your basically asking to sprinkle in a little more toxicity into MRP culture which is surprising considering how much is already in the server. Cons outway the pros. You're insane if you think 'small rivalries' bring players together rather than push them apart, create diversities and exclusion, aswell as toxicity.

We need more RP oriented events and I love your ideas I hope your application is a show of your capabilities to organize fun and immersive events while also being able to properly communicate and work with other game masters. +1

-------------------------------------------------- Horse's Inter-Services Intelligence Application ------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Horse Current Active Rank: 11A 2LT (Recently came off reserves) Officer Experience: [Not chronologically organized] Haqqani Major (Medinator/Verse), Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) CWO2 (???), 2GA GenLT (O-9) (Kurtle/NDB), 2GA 2LT (Soldier/Millerjerm), Taliban SJEN (O-10) (NDB/Cupid), Taliban Colonel (Dillan), 33rd General of the Army (GA), 055th Major (Scratch/Pyrex), TSFU 2LT (Nicky/Wendy) Notable Accomplishments: (If you want a short and sweet accomplishment I guess I was GA for around 3 Months and had I believe 2-3 of my generals become GA after me as well as becoming S.GM and leading the server in events during a phase when there were none) The accomplishment(s) I am about to list and have completed over the course of 5+ years may seem like negatives to the majority of you. However, to me, it shows personal and emotional maturity and improvement in every form. To start off when I joined Military RP around 2017 I positioned myself within Taliban now at this time the server was justttt a little more toxic than it is now and that mixed with my immature 13-14-year-old persona was quick in gaining a bad reputation from officers and players alike. For YEARS within the community and others I was disliked by almost the entirety of the North American MRP community and any server I would go to my reputation from the previous would precede me therefore negatively influencing others in the community I was in at the time. I had almost 0 friends or supporters on this stupid video game and yet for some reason, I still stayed consistent with how I played copping a ban hopping on the next server making false promises to those who trusted me and in turn, given no room for redemption. It got so bad that at one point sorry not one but multiple points in time I was led to tears over demotions, bans, or in general just the disapproval of others or groups of others. Stay with me! The story is almost over and there's light at the end of the tunnel. Around the year 2021 after taking around a year break and receiving my final permanent ban for toxicity (D_Rose and Aiden) (Not to mention the community ban given by Garnet himself or the multiple other perma bans that were removed with ban wipes). I decided to give the community another shot but this time on Dark RP. I met incredibly kind people such as @JackJJ@ajbedhead and @TheDudeAbides I was lucky enough to not have my poor reputation mudslide into Dark RP automatically shutting me off from any chance at improvement but these guys were probably the most welcoming and chill people I've ever met and I still owe them my gratitude today. Acknowledging my somewhat developed reputation on DRP I thought I'd shoot my shot at appealing my MRP unban and god was it met with -1's. I had about one +1 and that was a DRP player. Clearly, nothing was going to change UNTILLLL @Jake went against all odds allll the negative feedback, and what might normally be a denied appeal became Accepted. Jake was able to acknowledge the toxicity perma ban was false and had little to no evidence to back it up I spent many years with Jake in other communities and this one and I honestly never expected him to make that decision but it came with a catch I couldn't receive any form of punishment on any GG related platform for 3 months. I completed this and began my journey on MRP. To start off I climbed the ranks of the faction I wasn't blacklisted from... Taliban and in that I not only was once again welcomed with open arms by the officers but literally given advice and guidance on improving my reputation on the server this was the first time I was seeing MRP players give me another chance and a shot in the officer corps. @NDB_ and @Kurtle you guys are the only reason I'm still around on GG today and I truly believe if there was anyone else that tried to mentor me on this game then I would've failed blessed fr. However, any slip-up was accounted for and sometimes drastically overexaggerated despite this I persevered reaching 2nd IC until my eventual leave due to some conflicting opinions within the officer corps. This marked the long road of my eventual redemption on the server setting up a meeting with US leaders such as Alexander Conway and the then leader of Rangers Eli they removed my army rank lock and US-wide blacklist (which then gave way to my GA term). In conclusion, I've come to terms with my past I have 'Made Up' with the majority of old players who have also shown great improvements in maturity and players who despised me every second of every day back then now in a way respect me and in that they have earned my respect as well. This accomplishment isn't just me getting an unban from a Garry's Mod server it's me showing drastic and positive change in myself and being able to adapt to environments where all odds are against you and you feel like giving up. I truly believe anyone else in my position would have pushed themselves as far away from the server as possible but I stayed consistent I think the most consistent any other MRP player ever has been. https://forums.garnetgaming.net/index.php?/topic/14385-horses-mrp-ban-appeal/page/2/ https://forums.garnetgaming.net/index.php?/topic/1267-good-bye-garnet/#comment-11343 https://forums.garnetgaming.net/index.php?/topic/1269-small-server-owner-logic/#comment-11382 Playtime: | 11A 2LT Horse has played for 4055:11:40. Desired Rank: As much as I would love to shoot for the stars and aim for a position such as Chief Supervisor or Chief of Staff I don't have any Tier 1 experience and I am willing to take whatever position it is believed id be efficient in. Current Rank in ISI (If Applicable): N/A What does the term Professionalism mean to you?: I could give a short, quick answer and say Professionalism is the respectable and honest manner in which you treat others but professionalism is a lot more than that. It's the way you convey yourself in every aspect not just the ethical ones like (Respect, Integrity, or competence). It's the ability to uphold the most unbias and fair opinion as possible and conduct yourself in a confident-mature manner no matter the situation or heated moment you're in. You have to and need to be able to keep a cool head in situations that require your attention. Professionalism is what defines you and sometimes how 'professional' you are changes you can be in a ts channel with all your friends fucking around but when the time comes when your assistance is needed and others are watching you have to be able to flick that switch in your brain and have enough self-control to make the right informed decisions. Nobodies professional 24/7 and everyone will have a moment when you slip up but with experience, advice, and dedication you can 'reform' yourself into someone who is capable of displaying professionalism and being a figure for others to look up to whenever it is required. How do you hope to improve ISI?: In recent months, it's been clear at least to me that ISI is constantly seeking ways to better Afghan and the server as a whole with suggestions and in-game activities starting to gear towards the country's health rather than a single faction. And honestly, this is what I aspire to do for the server being in Tier 1 position gives you a bigger voice than you'd have anywhere else on the server. You're seen as the most skilled and most efficient force on the server and in that there are a ton of people looking up to members in the faction. I aim to increase Tier 1 - Base faction engagement which will in turn improve the general server health whilst also reinforcing this 'player-to-player' mindset in ISI members. In doing so I will increase the interest for the faction not only on AFG but US. (P.S A strategy I also admired on Delta was 313 or ISI's ability to move as one group or force with members covering each other's backs in a 360 rotation I hope to reinforce combat methods like this and increase the relationship/communication between members in and out of war) Are you willing to completely commit to the Faction?: Yes, and I pray this application will act as a small offering of dedication if I am accepted. What skills do you bring to the table?: My experience as an officer has built up my ability to communicate, lead, and advise others. My upbringing of years on CS_Desert and long-ranged maps, as well as fps games, have increased my proficiency with long-ranged weapons The 'troubles' of my past and my ability to overcome them have laid the foundation for my ability to adapt and resolve any internal or external conflicts whilst also becoming a great judge of character My time as a Senior GM and GA have given way to an increase in roleplay and situational creativity which will be used to keep players interested in both ISI and Afghan as a whole. And finally the restoration of trust in people who once disapproved of me has formed potentially useful connections and relationships with some server leaders. (also giving me access to help/advice from veterans of the community)

+1 this was originally what was set in stone. However, with the addition of a casino and other civilian-like activities they made it to where players automatically become citizens. If Garnet has plans to resume things like this and allow for more civilian RP during peacetime and other opportunities for passive RP then I would -1 this suggestion but if not +1.
