Popular Post Soappppp 220 Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) In-game name: Stork/IgorAge [minimum 15 y/o]: 19SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:1:168017376Warns: 3. Can explain if curious! Timezone: ETC.Playtime? [minimum 75 hours, use /playtime in-game]: | V KST Igor has played for 1653:09:38.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?] None, didn't ask. Past experiences as staff: [Optional] Mod on GGMRP x2. ( 2016 & 2019 ) How do you plan on benefiting our server? [minimum 2 paragraphs] First and foremost, bringing a differing opinion onto the staff team would be very beneficial. I currently believe a large majority of the staff team don't bring any opposing views in terms of update ideas, gameplay, etc. I think it goes without saying that I have a differing view on certain things on the server, all things within the rules. I believe when the team consistently is agreeing with each other, it leaves very little room for discussion or the opposing end of the discussion. Secondly, as a T-Mod there isn't much I can bring to the server immediately; overtime I hope I can encourage more action from the senior level staff team to be included in faction leadership + pushing for updates. From my understanding and from what i've been told, there isn't much encouragement for staff to intervene in faction issues. For example, "X" faction leader is doing poorly and not representing a good leader. As a T-Mod, all I could do is encourage senior staff to step in and solve the issue, rather then the faction progressively getting worse. Bringing more issues to light and pushing for change is a beneficial quality in my opinion. I am very blunt when it comes to my opinion in response to ideas others present, I think this level of bluntness would be good at presenting counter-arguments in the team to promote more discussion and thinking. Lastly, fixing in-game issues and promoting RP is something i've done in the past and continue to do as I play the server. As well as demonstrate a clear understanding of the rules and when false warnings are handed out. A couple examples are as follows: Doing events previously bringing RP onto the server: These events were a while ago, however they're the only ones I have logged somewhere for easy access to show players what I am capable of. Obviously some of these may fall under GM responsibilities, but the main takeaway is that I am willing to push RP within the rules AND encourage others to do so. Which overall benefits the server. *unsure if others can see this as its been archived, but I can still see it so...* Assisting in the Addition of RUGSV: I helped toss in ideas and critique when it came to the addition of RUGSV. Most of the formatting being done by others, but the push to add and create something for unity on the server was something I partook in. Which so far has proved to do just that! The roster is below. ( Public ) EDITED OUT Wanting to address major issues publicly for public opinion and outlook: The most notable one being the post below addressing Delta Force's problems. negligence?!?!!? *joke* Without going too much in depth, wanted to make an issue public and discussed, it worked. Was very blunt and brought an opinion out for others to discuss, promoting change amongst Delta Force. *unsure if others can see this as its been archived, but I can still see it so...* Have you ever been banned or punished on GG MRP? If so, Include details: Previously perma banned late 2016 for toxicity by Phantom if I remember correctly, we spoke about it and it was revoked. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes. When I applied in 2016 and 2019. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: Well, whenever i'm online. It's hard to give an exact number simply because my work schedule is not the same thing every week. Some weeks will be more hours, some will be less. However it hasn't been a issue since i've returned so, I think I would be fine. ~ A slight thing to say before I close this, I am aware of my reputation within regards to certain players not liking me. However, I think being on opposing sides of the server, as well as opinions, can prove to benefit the choices made for both sides. Being on the same team may allow us to more professionally address any issues rather then belittle each other passive aggressively. Providing an unbiased opinion on each other is well within our abilities, I will state, I have reacted poorly beforehand, as have others, I hope this doesn't determine the status of my application. As I do not believe I NEED to change how I address critique and my opinion on changes/attitude purely because someone is upset I disagree. ~ Edited August 25, 2021 by Soappppp removal of RUGSV roster 1 1 2 16 Link to comment
huskaii 586 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 While you may not have the best reputation on the server, neither do I 0.0, that doesn't mean you cant be a good staff member. You know the rules, have been around a while and know how things work, and for Christ sake you took this much time and effort to write a staff app even though you are aware of how you are seen in the community. That takes some determination if I've ever seen it. +1, you def deserve at least a chance to show what you are capable of again. Best of luck stork, aka Walmart br0ken 1 1 Link to comment
Fetn 1,217 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Alright starting off your application is good and you aren't as retarded as you were so thats a good start. Your post with the Negligence is now more or less a huge meme you are trying to fix your reputation in which I see is a good sign. You deserve another chance as huskaii said so +1 good luck 2 Link to comment
Austin 294 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Your reputation seems to vary person person and it all seems to come down to that negligence post. But honestly fuck that, over the past month you’ve been a great dude to chill with in TS and to role play and have fun with in war, you do know more rules and abide by them more than a couple current staff members. You have great ideas and you’ve even made sure to include my own faction in those ideas which helps us out a lot. People on US might just know you currently for that *meme* but you do generally good work for helping out RU which will be beneficial to the servers health. +1 good luck Negli* 1 Link to comment
Forums Moderator Python 455 Posted August 19, 2021 Forums Moderator Share Posted August 19, 2021 Stork when I was in your SSO I probably had the best time on the server and you where a great staff member, your application is amazing and from the alone you would make a great staff member. But there is one thing that still doesn’t sit right with me, I bit ago when I first got into DF I invited you to my personal discord. And at the time we where playing a different server (that was a different gamemode as well) acer wanted and was invested with models at the time he send both models from garnet and the other server and you proceeded to take screenshots of only the other servers models and send them right to Jake and garnet, and told them that me acer fonza and ozzy where planning on resigning for that server which I don’t know where you got that from. I with all of that I’m sorry but -1 I can’t trust you to simply put it 1 1 4 4 Link to comment

To be blunt, myself and other people in that group were concerned about your activity on MRP declining, and from our perspective, no looks on returning to what it was. When we were asked why you guys were inactive *myself and another individual were pulled into a TS channel*, we each explained our side. I didn't say anything except what actually happened. In my opinion, it was a valid concern due to that fact it felt like the people who were on said server were neglecting their responsibilities on MRP. It was nothing against of you guys, I was asked about it, so I answered. I hope that clears and misconception you may have had, always free to talk to me on TS if ya wanna know more about it. 1 4 Link to comment

I hope I can encourage more action from the senior level staff team to be included in faction leadership + pushing for updates. From my understanding and from what i've been told, there isn't much encouragement for staff to intervene in faction issues. - We keep a close eye on factions, we intervene if we have to, most of the time its just a little slap to wake up the faction leader before any other actions will be taken, and in general as of now i think that faction wise we are good but obviously i would like it to get even better. - as for events and promoting RP : 1 it will take you some time to be able to do events since its a T.Admin + and second you can help promote RP with just leading 1 side of the event. so there again nothing that would really say you deserve a staff position.

Etc. 30 minutes ago, Party said: as for events and promoting RP : 1 it will take you some time to be able to do events since its a T.Admin + and second you can help promote RP with just leading 1 side of the event. so there again nothing that would really say you deserve a staff position. I purely brought up the point of previous events as a way to show I care about RP. I believe fostering an environment for RP is something staff members should do, in the past weeks, its been shown that a few select staff members do NOT foster this environment. 32 minutes ago, Party said: DF is fine, they are all active idk wtf you are talking about but even if you get accepted, telling DF what to do or making any decision will not even come close to what you will be doing, This post was made previously concerning how Delta Force was. Not how it currently is, the point of adding it my app was showing I will bring an issue publicly if need-be. That's all. 34 minutes ago, Party said: not something you would expect from a guy who wants to be a staff member. Warns can be explained. They don't determine my competency. If anything they're misunderstandings. 36 minutes ago, Party said: that you might abuse the power (as little as it is as a T.Mod) for personal gain and helping your friend group This is a wild claim, I haven't abused in the past, I wouldn't abuse this time moving forward. 36 minutes ago, Party said: from that to all the way even No cliping during war and general abuse of power I don't understand what this has to do with me. I have never done any of said things. I understand why you might not trust me, but I can't remember any interactions we've had personally. If you want to talk to me in TS or DM me sometime I'd be more than happy to. 1 1 Link to comment
Party 67 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 my claim is not that you didnt do it before, but that i dont trust you not to do it and that from my perspective you might be doing that based on my knowledge with you and previous interactions. and general point is that i don't trust you at all to even be a T.Mod. be that as it may i am open to discuss anything with you if you want i am available in Discord PMs or TS. just poke me or send a msg. 1 1 Link to comment

Ziggy 1,353 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 7 hours ago, Python said: which I don’t know where you got that from. You are quite literally basing your negative response on the fact that stork brought up an issue to Jake/Garnet about a friend group being active on another server. I don't see why you would do that since it has 0 relation to his ability to staff or contribute to the community. In fact, it shows a level of concern for server health, which is unfortunately what most of the current staff team lacks. Pertaining to the actual situation, I saw this happen on the last SWRP where a certain faction leader took his entire faction to another server for "development". 2 hours ago, Party said: - says who? don't recall you being in the staff discord... These are some passive aggressive, unhelpful comments. Obviously he isn't in the staff discord and that's why he's here applying, but you already knew that, so please try to be constructive. 2 hours ago, Party said: so in that subject you will bring nothing new. This is the cancer mentality that destroys the staff team. I'm in that discord and the conversations rarely concern new or innovative ideas, which is part of the reason I was asked to help with MRP. Instead of acknowledging this or maybe agreeing that a new person's ideas could be beneficial, you instead shut him down and tell him that he can bring nothing new. If that were true, then why has everything been the same? Why did Jake and I need to address so many basic fundamentals that the staff team should be doing, but aren't? 2 hours ago, Party said: i would like it to get even better. yet, you oppose new ideas because they come from someone you don't like. 2 hours ago, Party said: so there again nothing that would really say you deserve a staff position. I've personally seen Stork do better RP than I have you, so by that logic, do you deserve your staff position? 2 hours ago, Party said: telling DF what to do or making any decision will not even come close to what you will be doing, okay?? 3 hours ago, Party said: not something you would expect from a guy who wants to be a staff member. Every further post I read from you is proving to me that your personal opinions of someone is overcoming your ability to put server health into your perspective. Again, counter-productive comments. 2 hours ago, Party said: you are a big minge who stays within the rules A big minge who has effectively contributed to RP more than most, from what I've seen in recent weeks. 3 hours ago, Party said: there is also the concern of other staff members (myself included) that you might abuse the power (as little as it is as a T.Mod) for personal gain and helping your friend group This is literally what is happening right now with some of the staff team. I would love to see you tell me how he might possibly abuse and who it would benefit, then compare it to recent events. 2 hours ago, Party said: from that to all the way even No cliping during war and general abuse of power, i cannot trust you with even taking a sit Nobody with a brain would noclip or cloak during war, and this "concern" you have is entirely unrealistic and an another attempt to hurt this player's application. For the actual application itself, I have known Stork for a couple of years. While I haven't been there entirely and constantly talking to him, I know that this person is someone who truly thinks about server health and how to improve it. While Stork can be hot headed at times, I believe that he is an instant improvement from a lot of what I have been seeing recently. The players who have it out for Stork are basing their criticisms entirely on speculation, and have no real input as to why Stork would be a negative addition to the staff team. In reality, Stork has done several player-run RP events that don't compare to what a lot of other people are attempting. Stork has a brain on him with a real initiative to benefit the server's health, which is a trait that I wish was more present with the current team. +1 2 2 1 4 Link to comment
Kurtle 298 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 +1 It's obvious that a lot of people have different opinions on Stork, but to me he cares about the server and wants what's best for it, no matter who's toes he steps on. This quality should be the foundation of every staff member, and will help Stork in his growth as well. 1 Link to comment
