Referral(s): [What Gamemaster recommended you to apply?]GM Matty
Past experiences as a Game Master: [Optional]If being a D&D Game master I ran a two-year campaign with myself and 5 other friends

Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs]I think you should choose me over all the other applicants because I can bring a Roleplay aspect to the server we may not have seen in the community I can be active early mornings or late at night so the players early morning or late at night that have nothing else to do on the server they can participate in an event to pass the time by instead of leaving right after wartime. I want to create campaigns for the whole server, Afghan Sided or even just US Sided even have mixtures of the two or just simple events to have fun as a server.
        I also think you should pick me over all the other applicants because I have over Three years of gamemaster experience with not only D&D but in Arma 3 as well with zeusing which gives you the same concept as a Game Master on Garnet Gaming Military Roleplay where you can set up the area for the event/campaign and they can run said event or campaign. I wanna bring back the aspect of Campaigns for both sides of the server Missions for the Taliban or Missions for the US Army which could be stored on a Sheets doc to keep track of the campaign and who did what. Id also would like to work towards Medals for Base or SOC Factions on either side depending on how well they did during that said Mission or Campaign for example for honor and leadership 11B DS CPL John Doe Would then be given the Medal Of Honor or Something similar within those lines.

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details I was banned on MRP about 1 to 2 years ago for accidental Mass
How much time do you have to contribute to the role?:at least 3 - 4 hours a day

In your own words, what  are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?: a Gamemaster can have many different responsibilities depending how you look at it if your talking a D&D sense then its creating ideas and a campaign for your players to go through. If were talking about in game like for example MRP then the responsibilities are to Host events for the server even create a campaign for them to run to lead to a big whole event after time in the campaign this can be ran as a 1 side Campaign or a whole Server campaign

Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team: I would like to give incentives to stay on after wars. To give everyone on the server fun creative events to look forward to I also want to do Campaigns for the whole Server I would do said thought out campaigns for Taliban sided, US Sided or even whole server sided

Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas designed for only your side to take part in: [Be sure to include any additional context that may be necessary to your explanation] Idea

1: Event Name: Afghanistan Forces  
Idea for Event: The Afghanistan Forces are to clear out Town Center from a Terrorist Group of individuals they have to clear out the town in Ex. amount of time if they dont clear the town out the reinforcements arrive and basically they would have to evacuate

2:Event Name: Poking The Hornets Nest

Idea for Event: Assassination ops this will require 313 and 055th combined joint operations. They will receive a mission to assassinate High ranking officer that's hosting a gathering at US OP. The Gathering is consist of the US Giving a speech to locals. 313 and 055th would have to identify the headquarters' target and wait for the green light to assassinate. The US has to have a plan, and setup up defenses are the perimeter, and be prepared for tangos to make sure the High ranking officer's speech goes well. 313 and 055th cannot get caught or draw any attention to themselves as they wait for further instructions. Once They get the green light, they may proceed to kill the target.  The US has to be on the lookout for setting up recon and bodyguards to ensure high-ranking officers (he is giving 7 min speech). If 313 and 055th fails the next upcoming war US gets to cap and hold the objective for 5 mins without any Afghan going there but if it's vice-versa and Afghan win it's likewise for them.

3.Event Name: Convoy Defense

Idea for Event: The Afghanistan Forces would be tasked with escorting a convoy of confiscated weaponry from the US Outpost to Factory, the escorting infantrymen will have to set up scout patrols to recon the area ahead to prepare for battle, defend the cargo while trying to take out the opposition. The infantry would most likely need a health boost of some sort so that they all don't just instantly get deleted. In-Town the convoy would be attacked by Gas Station and Oil, at the turn of the road they will encounter light sniper/marksman fire from the north rocks in the valley and when they get to the factory they will find a large amount of opposing forces to wipe out to allow the convoy entry.

4.Event Name: Hostage (Officer Required If not Possible SSGT+ Req from Soc)

Idea for Event: The Mission is to lure out a US Soldier (Like for RP Reasons come up with something to lure them out) then they would kidnap him and take him back for interrogation (this could lead for a story ark) 

5 Event Name Supplies Retrieval
Idea for Event:  After rescuing the hostage, he has told us about secret weapons caches, we need to go there, but we know they are deep in insurgent territory, we need to go there, and rescue the supplies, pure and simple, right? Yes, be sure to watch your backs though.
In the case the team succeeds, they discover the supplies include chemical weapons, bombs, and more specifically.

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

Event 1: Nuclear weapon. In the middle of the map, there will be some type of nuclear weapon. But it is explosive or high dangerous so be very careful when you go by it or shoot near it. Both faction's OBJ is to capture that nuclear weapon. You can use Trucks, Helicopters or whatever you need to gain access to a nuclear weapon. When a team has successfully captured it they will do tests and find out what it really is to see they can make more for the battlefield.

Event 2:Negotiations: Both the United States leader and the Russian Forces leader meet up with a man who goes by Viktor Resnov, he has a lot of supplies and advantage points set up around the surrounding area that if any side could get, they'd have an advantage before the upcoming battles. The goal of each side is to try to successfully negotiate and persuade the man to ally with them, only one side will get him. The side that wins the negotiations, will have an advantage. Vehicles that they didn't have access to and weapons that they didn't know exists.

Event 3: Boardwalk Stand-Off

Event Idea: 10 and 10  on each side US and Afghanistan, the Taliban Receive Intel that there is files at the town In boardwalk they go to check the said files as they are on their way to Boardwalk they get ambushed by the American Forces protecting their Secret Intel on the Taliban(More will be thought up as it goes on could lead to a Campaign with missions, etc.)

 

If I do end up being a GM I do plan on doing full Fledge Campaigns starting with the Taliban starting with missions they will be met with an offsite Officer or Retired Corrupt Officers etc

Fixed Some Grammar and Beefed up Paragraphs

[Kurtle 298]

Good to see you apply again. The GM team is definitely in need of help so I'm glad to see you put yourself out there again. Couple things I have to say about this app. Your last app was denied in part due to community trust I believe, and I think you have earned at least a try on the GM team. Currently we have Horse on the GM team, who went from being perma'd to US GA and Senior Gamemaster, so I am 100 percent okay with giving second chances. The fact that you reapplied shows your dedication and I think it's an admirable trait.

I really like the event idea you presented before this, but affecting war with events is not something that management is interested in currently. However, I'm still really happy you considered this point, meaning you are thinking of the implications of your events.

I like the event idea, but this is worded really weirdly, like how you said "we need to go there" twice. Although this isn't really a formal job application, it's still nice to fix these small errors.

Event 1: Nuclear weapon

This event is good, but maybe you want to expand a little bit more on the part after the Nuke is captured. Obviously capturing a Nuke is an extremely big deal, so you want to make people feel like capturing it has a big impact on the event atmosphere.

Your event ideas are pretty good, but you might want to add a little bit more detail to each to give the people playing in the event some "lore."

This is a big stickler. This paragraph is really poorly written, and I think it could benefit from a little bit more meat. I would need to see this edited before I would be okay with +1ing the app(you are so close)

I can be active early mornings or late at night so the players early morning or late at night that have nothing else to do on the server they can participate in a event to pass the time by instead of leaving right after war time

Also, if you get accepted, we will hold you to this. I've seen hundreds of applications, and about 50 percent of them say something about "being on early in the morning or late at night." But magically, when we get to those times, none of the people who wrote those apps are online. 

All in all, I will keep this neutral until you fix up your paragraphs, and especially some of the grammar and punctuation in them. Once I see some good edits, I would be glad to welcome you to the GM team.

Neutral for now.

-1.

All you did this time around was copy and paste your last GM application, added a sentence about medals in your "why should you choose me?" answer, and then change event #3 for the last question. You didn't even bother to go through the other events and make them relevant to the current map. You also forgot to add your SteamID and fix your playtime.

Maybe you are skillful enough to write up events and execute them, but I personally don't trust you with the commands available to GM. Your attitude is the same as it was back before you left to DarkRP. Less than a month ago you massed with nerve gas in the middle of Tali base late at night.

cause 90% of it is the same and can be used. and I fixed grammar in the 2 Paragraphs section and made it beefier.

Alright, it's probably best that I actually pick at your application with specifics as opposed to my first response. My -1 doesn't change.

What is this "roleplay aspect we may not have seen?" You don't explain it anywhere else in the application. If it's the preface to the rest of the answer, where you bring up campaigns, then that's already been suggested and attempted by various people.

D&D and Arma 3 zeusing are entirely different behemoths when compared to MRP. They are both major skills that may contribute to success in storytelling and event hosting on GG, but the two don't directly translate to Gmod - especially with how we handle the GM team and events. The biggest thing you need to remember is that you aren't the sole creator. In an ideal situation, you'd be working with other GMs to craft a narrative for our community (assuming we stick to the roleplay event goal), which makes the concept different than being a DM in D&D and being a zeus for Arma 3.

I was banned on MRP about 1 to 2 years ago for accidental Mass

You've been banned twice for mass. Neither of them is written as accidental and you had only appealed one of them, which was denied. Granted, the one you did appeal would now be considered Non-malicious Mass, although you were a 2GA KPT at the time so I'm not sure that'd necessarily apply.

1: Event Name: Afghanistan Forces  

Is there any extra information for this event? It seems barebones and easy to set-up, which I guess is good for a quick and easy event for a lower population. I assume you would be utilizing NPCs to be the opposition. And of course, this type of event isn't restricted to just a single map or location on said map, but just placing baddies around for the sake of action isn't all too narrative.

3.Event Name: Convoy Defense

This is one of the event ideas that I feel is guided. It's a cool concept, yes, but it relies heavily on things going the way that you intended them. Is this a PVP or PVE event? Do both sides get to place their troops and plan their route if it is a PVP event? Are the route and ambush points pre-determined? What happens if somebody goes off the route and takes a different one? Do you still continue with that or consider that "cheating?"

4.Event Name: Hostage (Officer Required If not Possible SSGT+ Req from Soc)

Wouldn't consider this an event. I could see this being a portion of an event, but as it's described this is just a normal kidnap.

Event 2:Negotiations:

Passive roleplay for a real gameplay advantage. Don't think I like.

+1 I think personally hes worked on his image a shit ton from previously. And he was denied and told to reapply and continue working on his image which he has. I think he would make a great addition to the GM team because hes always willing to help me with events
