Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional] 

I was a Head Event Planner (basically the equivalent of the head gamemaster) for a star wars RP community by the name of Prominent Gaming for a year and a half until i had to resign due to moving out of town for long periods of time for work.

Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] 

During the time i have spent on MRP over the course of the last few months, I have made a lot of new friends and have gotten to know a lot of you quite well. I have climbed the ranks in SSO to the second in command under austin and the two of us have been doing our best to make the SSO active, fun, and exciting for all players within or outside the faction. However, even with the rank and power I am given with said rank I find what i am capable of doing for both my faction and all of RU to be quite limiting. Yes we have war and raiding/ kidnapping is usually a good time but in terms of providing RP experiences for my faction there isnt really much that I can do. You can only raid so much before it gets repetitive and there truly isnt a lot to do aside from SIMs during the 60 minute stretch between wars.

I want to help change that personally, and there is a lot that i am capable of doing to make it so. I used to be a very active builder during my time as an Event planner back in the day and ive always enjoyed making unique experiences for the playerbase to enjoy. Ive built a lot of Killhouse style SIMs in the past, as well as some parkour courses and even a working escape room with an elevator (though I might need a bit of constraint practice before I am able to pull that one off again). I wish to go down a route similar to what Niko is doing right now with his tower SIM, providing more activities and more of an experience during the peacetime between wars, while at the same time preparing RP events for the server as well as interesting activities for SOC factions to take part in. The way i see it, no matter how minimal the action is, as long as the playerbase enjoys it its a job well done as a gamemaster. After all, we are supposed to make events or activities for the playerbase to enjoy first, and seeing the playerbase happy with an event will always make me happy as well.

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details

Warns from when i first joined aside, I have never been banned or harshly punished on any of the Garnet Gaming servers.

How much time do you have to contribute to the role?:

I am capable of providing around 2-3 hours a day with my role as a gamemaster, while being able to balance my role in TTT as well as my personal life. I have a full time job as well as a girlfriend that will need my priorities from time to time, but I should be more than capable to keep an active profile.

In your own words, what  are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?:

To put it simply, the responsibility of a Gamemaster is to provide fun and exciting experiences for the playerbase, as well as contributing to the realism/ RP element of the server itself. The way i see it, no action is a bad one as long as the players are having fun with it, because having fun is the most important aspect of this job in my opinion.

 Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team:

Spur of the moment events and activities are my specialty, Such as a sudden attack or a tricky situation that you have to decipher your way out of. In my best opinion the best way to implement RP into an event is to let the playerbase think for themselves and adapt they way that they would want to the situations. Coming up with their own strategies or counters to what I would be throwing at them, because even if they fail they still tried it their way and thats way more enjoyable than shoving a story down their throats. With my events ill only try to write the beginning to the story and let them figure out how it ends (better be able to think logically and on your feet gentlemen, cause I am not afraid to wipe you all and tell you you suck XD). 

Please list and explain 3 unique event ideas designed for only your faction to take part in: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation]

The Nuremburg Survivor

Description:

When the Nazis fell at the end of World war 2, most of their inhumane experiments were discovered and immediately shut down by most of the allied forces as well as the soviets. It was the one thing they could agree on, stopping the nazis and all the abhorrent things they were doing to the Jewish people at the time. However, it would be foolish for any great power to leave the data aquired from some of these experiments to burn completely. After all, any edge you can get against your enemies will be a valuable asset.

RUGSV will meet with a former nazi scientist who is currently in need of several test subjects for his experiments on human bio-modification. Their objective will be to procure those test subects for the scientist by any means necessary (ie. kidnapping, or bringing 2ga over for the lols). The experiments will then commence in real time for all to witness the horrors and possible modifications that the scientist is capable of, and whatever successes or failures that come with the dangerous experiments.

 

Chernobyl Part 2, Electric Boogaloo

Description:

The discovery of nuclear power is mostly seen as a short term fix to the energy crisis, as there are a lot of risks that come with the handling of nuclear energy. Chernobyl is the biggest example of that, as with the reactor malfunction came a wave of radiation that decimated and misplaced millions. Precautions are made so that a disaster like this doesnt happen again, but even with the best of precautions you cant protect against everything.

SSO will be dispacted as a pseduo security force for the reactor, as intel states that the Taliban are preparing to cause a disaster with the reactor in order to cripple any russian outposts power supply sources. The taliban are repelled successfully but the scientists responsible for maintaining the reactor are injurted heavily in the attack. The reactor goes into meltdown mode and SSO will have to scramble to delay the reactors detonation by completeing the required processes on behalf of the reactor scientists, as one wrong move could cause another national catastrophe.

The Distraction

Description:

Immediately after a battle with the Russian forces, the taliban use the subsequent debrief to lanch an invasion against the US FOB, with the knowledge that their forces will be weakened after the attack. They use artillery to bomb the base while using car bombs and other explosives to breach the outer walls in order to infiltrate the compound. The US will need all their might to repel the attack but all of it is a diversion. Some tali agents are already inside stealing valuable data from the US equipment they have in place. For what they need this information for and what they plan on doing with it though is something the US will have to figure out fast.

The shot down drone

Description:

A prototype US drone is targeted and show down by russian anti air. Both FOBs are immediately notified of the incident and must execute a plan to recover the tech and data that the drone carries. Radio jammers are erected from both sides to prevent outside communications and an all out war ensues (war rules will apply for the duration of this event). In order for the tech to be succesfully retrieved, soldiers will have to do a data recovery process that will need 10 minutes for either side to complete. They must then escort  the drive back to their FOB to successfully retrieve the data from the drone. Should one side take control of both radio jammers, reinforcements and supply drops (mostly containing explosives) will be deployed to the respective FOB, which should make taking the main objective a lot easier for both sides if they are able to take control of the jammers. The pseudo war will end once one side makes it back to their FOB with the drive in hand (note, the drive can be stolen by opposing forces once it is procured by a side, so think on your feet as to what you will do to be successful).

When he still actively participated in the ttt discord, we would play good ol' binding of issac rebirth. It was a very good bonding experience and to this day he is still very respected within the ttt community. I think he would be able to pull off his scenarios, though I don't want to comment on the quality of them as I don't fully understand game design for this type of game.

Knick is a good guy, I think he would be able to fulfill the role.

Best of luck

One of the best staff members in TTT, active in ttt even though he makes time for mrp so balance won't be an issue I believe and he is very good at anything he does. MRP is an unknown territory for me but I believe he is very passionate about it which is a very important aspect in anything and I believe he will always do his best to hold or maintain whatever position he gets so this position is no different.

Godspeed soldier!
