    Why should we choose you over other applicants? :

I've literally grown up playing garnets servers, I have a very long and deep history within garnet gaming and I first started playing the server many years ago when on its very first SWRP server. Since than I have poured thousands of hours into the community, I love this server and the people I have met throughout my time here. When the MRP server shut down it allowed me to diversify my time between DRP and SWRP both of which have been so enjoyable to play. While I don't have the best rap sheet when it comes to staff experience my time here has allowed me to observe countless managers, mod's, and admins to see how they get the job done. I've been in hundreds of sits and have developed the ability to work with server based problems and develop a compromise that everyone can agree with. All I've ever wanted to do is help garnet's servers whatever way I can. 

Another positive of having me on the team is that I get on alot during late nights, when not a ton of staff or GM's are on to take care of situations that require their attention. When it comes to dedication and motivation to carrying out the tasks of a moderator I assure you that I will go above and beyond expectations inorder to provide the best experience for newer players. If you are reading this application and are doubting my abilities to perform regular staff duties due to my lack of experience or playtime I promise you that I am an extremely fast learner especially when it comes to rule enforcement and could give you a solution to any problem I'd encounter on the server. This is not only because of what I've seen on the server but I have unfortunately been in the shoes of a minge and a rule breaker many years ago. When it comes to intentional rule breaks I know what the player is thinking and I will know the exact way to deal with it given that my application is accepted.

Reputation and Experience aren't my only defining factors and I have alot more to offer the staff team. Between my schedule which mostly just consists of school (9:30AM-3:30PM EST) and 2-3 work shifts a week I am able to get on whenever it is required and as previously said I will stay up late nights to make sure everyone issues have been dealt with before server pop declines for the night. The reason I'm applying for staff and not GM despite having more experience in that field is because I at some point want to be able to take on higher administrative and management duties I feel as if my time with the community would be incomplete if at some point I dont max out my 'potential' when it comes to helping the server out with the day-to-day. I'm a good listener, problem solver, and all I want for the server is to maintain the popularity and traction it has garnered. If my application is to be denied I will take the constructive criticism and improve my self in any way possible inorder to meet staff expectations.

    Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: 
Unfortunately, I have been the topic of a couple perma and community bans back in 2017-2020 (Mostly for toxicity) some false some not. I've made amends for these bans, came back and reached the highest rank possible on MRP and attempted to create  RP rich environments while also working with faction leaders to provide the best experience possible for everyone.

    Have you made any previous applications, If so when?:
Nope!

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

8+ hours a week
 

In your own words, what are the responsibilities of a Gamemaster?:
Game masters are responsible for creating an RP rich environment and maintaining the servers standards of PVE and action based events. Not only are they the sole reason players find reason to continue playing on the server but they given meaning to each and every battalion and sub-battalion. Its a game masters job to use the tools that are at his disposal in-order to create a unique experience for their players. They must be able to spontaneously react to the situation the players in the event have created while also using creativity to maintain an engaging environment. When they arent hosting off-worlds they should be looking for ways to keep players engaged and on the server.
 

 Describe how you would contribute to RP as a part of the Gamemaster team:
One of the best ways I and any GM can contribute to RP outside of hosting large-scale events is 'story-development' or 'character development' as fun as it is to put the Venator into hyperdrive, show up to a planet, wipe out all the CIS, and leave being able to create interesting and intricate scenarios with engaging event characters is how you keep people interested in your event. Personally, when there isn't an off-world being hosted I look forward to implementing situations around Anaxes that involve mysterious yet interesting event characters and scenarios that will keep the players interested in the next situation that has relevancy to what they just dealt with. Too many times I see a good situation with a good event character just get forgotten about right after we go back to Anaxes. I plan on developing campaigns and stories with legitimate lore that will keep everyone on their toes until the next event is hosted. Creating these characters not only adds a sense of realism to the server but it even allows players to relate to them. I believe campaigns are under-used and I will be trying my best to create the most engaging environment where EVERY player has a say in what happens. Events will be led by player decisions!

 

Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server:
If the server and each of its battalions were to be full I would host a large-scale operation on a huge map. This operation would put each battalions specialization to the test they would advance through the map accomplishing multiple objectives with SOB being behind enemy lines providing necessary intel and recon to advance further based on if they've accomplished their own objectives. This operation would be mostly reliant on actionable intel provided by SOB and the pre-briefing would be vague for the rest of the clones. Multiple GM's would be required to keep every battalion from advancing and each objective would be dependent on their leaders ability to direct the clones in accomplishing their objectives. Each battalion will also consecutively be using their clones certificates to accomplish these objectives with every sub-department of these certificates being used (Ex. For ENG Robotics, Mechanical, etc would be used). I rarely see these sub-departments being used and would be interesting to see how they put their experience to work a CIS heavy field.
 

Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale:

Operation : 'This isnt our Venator?!'
Requirements : RP_Venator, 1 EC, 1 Jedi willing to go through a NPK, Available personnel with MED certificates
Summary: The start of this event is meant to be misleading in the pre-operation briefing clones will be told that the 34th's sister battalion, the 78th's FOB communications have went out and no contact has been made with them for over a week. Their mission is to board the Venator before landing on the planet inorder to clear any possible CIS ships before providing support. However, when they board the Venator they find that the main hangar bay has already been opened, the engines have been shut off, and everyone onboard the ship has been killed by an infectious disease and the ship has been overthrown by clones with the Black-wing virus. SOB will be tasked with attempting to take back the bridge while engineers make an attempt to turn the ships defenses, hyperdrive, and engines back on. The bad shit doesn't stop there an enemy CIS ship has already detected that the ships defense systems and hyperdrive are off line and they use this opportunity to attempt to board the ship. The clones are now fighting on two fronts and must diversify their forces enough to defend MHB while also investigating the disease. Once SOB gets to the bridge they make a brief communication with naval and it reads '[Navy] We've reached the bridge there is some sort~~' and their communications than go out. With engineers being able to restore the ships power and defense systems they successfully defend the ship from the CIS. When all attempts to contact SOB fail ARC/ARF troops along with jedi make an attempt to breach the bridge where they are met with a horrifying mutilated looking sith who has captured the SOB personnel and threatens to use the blackwing virus on them if the clones dont give up someone who is force sensitive. They are forced to make the trade with the intent of killing him after SOB are secured. However, the monstrous sith is able to escape with the jedi through an escape pod. Once the communication system is restored and they make contact with the 78th they realize that the sith was jamming communications and there was no emergency. This event would lead to a rescue operation.

[212th & 501st Only] Operation : Titanium Spear

Requirements : AT-TE, EC's, Engineers

Summary : Intel suggests that that CIS have been running drugs out of a local village that will be built somewhere on the Anaxes map. Because the drug runners don't pose an imminent threat only 212th & 501st are dispatched to wipe them out of the area and find out where they are getting the drugs from. Using an AT-TE the enemy CIS are quickly disposed off. However, one of the blasts from the AT-TE hits a tank full of the drugs and almost half of the two battalions are subject to hallucinations and are medevac'd back to Anaxes where MED personnel quarantine them and create a vaccine for the effects of the almost lethal drugs. During this CIS begin a base attack inorder to secure the drugs that were retrieved in the raid. This attack is heavy and they breach the main hangar bay all the way up to the first checkpoint the 34th takes heavy casualties in this attack but it is eventually repelled. More research is done on the drugs and with some files collected from the outpost they find the source of the drug-running and a new operation begins to wipe the base off the map.

 

[41st, 327th, 104th Only] Operation : Eagles Eye

Requirements : Speed Bikes, Respective battalion armor, EC's

Summary : Intel has been obtained that suggests CIS have acquired ancient sith technology and are building weapons capable of destroying ships like the venator in seconds. A temporary outpost is set up on kashyyk. 501st and 212th are tasked with guarding the outposts will the other battalions conduct a Reconnaissance mission to look for any hints about the whereabouts of the technology. While they are performing recon the outposts is attacked but quickly defended. The recon teams are also attacked while making an attempt to find any intel they can. However, when they reach what they thought was the sight of the technology everything is destroyed or gone (it looks like someone left in a hurry) they stumble across a beat up tactical droid obtaining a minimal amount of information in regards to a resource depot. However, CIS were expecting them to find this droid and are ambushed by a fuck-ton of CIS. They barely make it back to the outpost and are forced to regroup at anaxes to plan out their next attack on the resource depot. This again will lead to another event where the technology is recovered and they encounter Count Dooku.

 

[SOB Only] Operation : [Redacted]

Requirements : All of RC and RANCOR must be on. Jedi Knight+ may accompany them.

Summary : While I hate to spoil a little bit of this operation I think its a pretty cool idea. SOB are briefed urgently right as naval receives information regarding the operation. Sith have found a way to clone other force sensitive Sith as impossible as it seems it is an extremely urgent and dire situation. SOB are immediately dispatched to an enemy planet where the cloning is being done. They have three objectives 1. Clear the outpost of any enemy droids 2. Locate and secure cloning equipment along with its subjects 3. Destroy any intel regarding the cloning process including civilian witnesses. Im not gonna say too much but the mission ends up being a success SOB has to interrogate multiple people and fight off a sith. Any subjects are taken back to anaxes along with its equipment. A SGN+ in the medical field along with its Research & Development specialty personnel are assigned to investigate the process it ultimately leads to failure but the subjects force sensitivity is removed in the process and they are executed in SOB bunks (This operations got pretty brutal shit).

 

Operation : Immigration Evacuation
Requirements : LAAT's, Pilots, CG (Riot Personnel)
Summary : With the increased CIS presence on the planet a mass amount of civilian's have showed up at the Anaxes demanding deportation to a local planet stating that the only reason the CIS have constantly showed up  is because of the clones presence on the planet. With the civilians refusing to leave the CoCO has approved a mass migration plan. The 34th must positively identify all civilians and process them for boarding onto an LAAT- that will take them to the venator and furthermore a different planet. However, the CIS enjoy using civilians as cover for their operations and is making every attempt to stop this. The 34th must also defend the base from attack while also processing every civilian that shows up. CIS will make an attempt to blend in with civilians inorder to board the LAATS and take them out from the inside. One CIS successfully does this and send the ship straight back down into the base causing mass casualties. This operation gets pretty hectic and alot of factors come into play dependent on how quickly the 34th processes everyone but the mission is eventually a success.

After reading your application, I can see that you clearly put effort into it and that's good, the moderation team is picky with who they choose. You made sure to mention your past experiences and admitted to that instead of hiding it away from us just to make sure that you have a chance of being selected. I personally really enjoy your application and I don't see that much of an issue if you join the moderation team. I believe that you will make a wonderful addition to the Moderation team.

+1 Horse was a cool guy on MRP. I think he can do a good job on SWRP!

[Fetn 1,217]

+1 I had horse as a GM a while ago on MRP genuinely one of the greatest ones I ever got on my GM team. Horse is a cool person although can be dumb sometimes but he would be a good addition to the staff team but IMO he should be applying for GM not staff think he'd do some great work as a GM on swrp instead of staff 

 

 

Edit

MASSIVE +1 one of the BEST GMs I ever had under me and ever had the pleasure of working with I told him it was wasted talent if he went the staff route instead of the GM route

Everyone deserves a second chance, I'm sure you've grown over the years.

Moderation on StarWarsRP is very passive, often times we will go weeks without a ban, warn, or report - simply because most issues are handled in-game. Moderators on SWRP are expected to assist new players and help train them as their primary duties; this is different from other Garnet servers. Also whilst applications are open, we are in need of Gamemasters more than moderators. 

If you're steadfast on not applying to Gamemaster and you're okay with the above, reply here, and the application can be discussed with the Admin Team.

After some discussion with Conway I’ve decided that it’d be best fit if I joined the GM team and will be editing my application in regards to formatting to fit that of a GM app.

Edit : Application has been updated!
