Past experiences as a Game Master: Old game master on other Gmod Servers 

Why should we choose you over other applicants? 

I want to be a GM for many reasons the primary reason though is that I want to show off all the amazing event ideas that I have bunched up in my head all the stories, the plots, the plans, groups, everything that people have yet to see that's bunched up in this small head of mine. I have plans for raids, for invasions, historical events, large scale battles, and deeply involved roleplay only events some of which are listed below in my events section. I have many event plans in rough draft form on my computer right now for all factions, whether it be US or Russia both are equal in my plans for creating a fun, constantly evolving, and enthralling world that the players get to enjoy. 

I put a lot of my hard work and sweat into coming up with new ideas for events whether that be just a bartender traveling around the map, or a large scale multi hour event I put equal care into both. I have special events planned for purely SOC Factions and and Base Factions as well if they so want it to happen. I am active most of the afternoon and at night unless my schedule changes and I am constantly making sure everything is going well.

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? I have been Permabanned by Superior Servers. The reason for it is after losing my status as GM and moderator for unfair reasons including blatant homophobia I had had enough at that point and couldn't handle being in such a toxic community any longer. All I did was commit MRDM but I was permabanned for being a previous staff member this was over a year ago at this point. 

How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: As much time as possible most likely anytime I'm not needed for US or RU

 

In your own words, what  are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: The responsibilities of a game master are to provide a constantly evolving and dynamic world of roleplay for the community to enjoy playing on. They are responsible for listening to the community to gain ideas for what they want to do, not just what a GM wants. It is very important to listen to everybody from the fresh player to the veteran when considering what events are best for everybody. A caring, responsible, and hardworking creative individual are the best candidates for the amazing role that is Gamemaster.  

 

 Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: What I would contribute are new high in depth and detailed events. 

 

Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server:

With valuable intel regarding US operations after the siege of Mosque Russia has been informed of A US 4 star general holding with heavily armed guards in a bunker outside of Power Plant. With the help of local resistance Russia will attack and capture the general and torture him into confessions on what is going on at the same time a SOC US force will come in representing the US Army with the mission to take back there general I can have maybe 6-7 players representing the resistance for the best experienced. Next Russia is required to fight till the last breath less they lose a valuable fight they may never fully recover from. Russia will be sent in by ground and air to Shipment  from there they will make their way on foot to the bunker located at Powerplant. Once at Power Plant they will encounter The SOC force resulting in a large scale battle. Once they make it inside that is where the real roleplay starts as after the battle it will be a roleplay only event. Inside they will encounter 3 generals 2 of them are the fake generals only one is the real one. They can either choose to interrogate all 3 and risk wasting time, or execute the 2 who they think are fakes but if they execute the real general the mission will be a failure. Once the interrogation is done the second wave will attack as Russia is escorting the general out to bring him back to their base. Once the final wave is finished Russia are to take their prize back to base to either get more information out of him or execute the general; it is all up to their discretion.

Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation]

 

1. Hidden deep in a hidden bunker the Russians have hidden secret nuclear war documents and there plans to destroy all US involvement in the Region via any means necessary they have set up a massive force ready to attack US in 30 minutes to prevent this from happening US has deployed the Rangers and they are on there way to the secret bunker to uncover the secrets that the regime thought were hidden forever. Once Rangers arrive they have the options to go in loud and risk the loss of their own men or go in quietly.

2. Presidential Event The President of the United States arrives at the US Base and while on a tour of the general areas RU special forces attack. The US is to protect their commander in chief to the best of their ability and the operation can go one of two ways for the Russians other than obvious defeat. Option 1 they just straight up assassinate the president and end the event clean, simple and to the point. Option 2 they kidnap the president holding him hostage this is the part that is much more roleplay oriented and the part that i feel would be a lot more fun for both sides. Basically the Russians take the president back to their base and hold him hostage and it's up to the US to either buy him back or stage a raid on the Russian base to take back their Commander in Chief. 

3. The event is simple in the middle of the city near shipment is a nuclear warhead. Both sides have to strategize to get the bomb back to their base whoever gets it back and successfully deactivates it wins the event. The way to deactivate the bomb comes down to a simple code that both sides have one piece of so in order to deactivate the bomb the side with the bomb must take the other half from the opposing side. The side without the bomb therefore also gets the chance to attack the collectors of the bomb, take it back to their base and still win. 

4. US Special forces event, green beret and rangers will work together to hack into a special laboratory hidden in what appears to be a construction inside they will face little resistance but the issue is the only have 5 minutes to extract all the data from the lab before it is bombed by the Russians who are trying to hide it as they are human experiments for biotech research. Data extraction will be based on figuring out the correct password hints will be scattered throughout the area. 

5. With valuable intel regarding a shipment of military goods headed for the US base via a vehicular convoy the Russian forces are tasked with sabotaging the convoy and taking the supplies for themselves but the operation won't be easy. If the Russians can catch the US off guard at a checkpoint they may be able to hijack the vehicles and get all the supplies for themselves (perhaps they could disguise themselves). Once the Russians have successfully grabbed the supplies US forces will try to intervene to get them back via air support.

Your application is flawless, I think I can speak with me and aparh here you would be a great fit for the GM team. Hope to see you working with us soon! +1

-1 due to recent behaviors, you are not ready to have these responsibilities. You really need to change ALOT, before reapplying

Edited April 11, 2021 by AlexConway
+1 to -1, in lieu of recent behaviors

[Kurtle 298]

+1 because aparh and fetn recommend you, and your application was impressive. Despite that, I think some of your ideas for events could get a little bit too complicated. Other than that, solid application. Good luck!

[Early6111 30]

+1

I like the application and it looks like you put some effort into it and you have good referrals, and I think you'll do a pretty good job as a GM with your ideas. I'd like to see you as a GM sometime soon, you seem like you'd be a fresh addition to that aspect of the team.

Your an amazing leader in the US army, and I think you would be amazing in the staff team, I wish you the best of luck in the future! 
Your hard work to take care of hundreds of Enlisted member, has been efficient. Cant say more, your and amazing and hardworking candidate.

[lmatheson04 9]

+1 

After reading this a few times and spending time with you in game, I think you would make a very good member of the GM team.

[JordanD 9]

I'd love to talk to you more!

Edited April 10, 2021 by JordanD
i added a +1 but realized i already gave him one

[Westt 171]

Astolfo man, honestly I want to +1 you, since I know what you are capable of. You had so much potential when you were an officer candidate but it all crashed down due to some reason I don't know the fine details of. You became kind of mingey and that certainly is not a good trait when applying for staff. 

Hopefully you can adjust your behaviour and toxicity towards certain members of this community. After a conversation and some proof of changes in your behaviour, I will +1 this application because you've shown to me that you can change and that you take the role of GM seriously.

Hopefully you can adjust your behaviour and toxicity towards certain members of this community, but until then I will have to -1 your application for Gamemaster as of now. Please bring the old, good Astolfo back.

I can promise you that part of me is gone now and I’m not going to behave like that anymore I’ve tried to fix the mistakes I committed and I can promise you Army Astolfo and Staff/GM Astolfo are two different people when I’m staff I’m very serious and take my job very seriously I can promise you that there is a different between being serious setting up good events and working hard to create them and just being a private on Army 

[NotSwagger 2]

This is the best App I've seen written good luck man!

[Astolfo 14]

I know what A minority of people seem for some reason believe about me but I can promise you such things are not true. I am not the “minge” some take me as infact quite the opposite. I personally feel some people don’t know how to read people and rush to judgements to quickly. I am someone who is caring, kind, responsible, hardworking, generous, and loving. If anyone wants to doubt my capabilities be my guest this is a place to voice your concerns as it should be. But I promise such concerns will hold no concrete evidence in reality during further endeavors. I will to the upmost of my ability adhere to the goals and rules of the Game Master rank against what anyone might think otherwise. 

[Salmon 488]

-1 on those recent behaviors. Don't think you're ready for the staff team

[Zqrxzz 82]

For now with these recent circumstances ill have to say -1. I believe in the future if you work your way back up and get to being the best version of yourself then you could be an amazing GM but for now I dont think its the best time.
