Why should we choose you over other applicants?

Personally, I love developing stories and events that others can enjoy, and I thoroughly enjoy making the gameplay experience in games more fun and enthralling for other players. I am very passionate about this and sincerely believe that I can become a great story-teller. Furthermore, if my events are subpar I am not hesitant to act on feedback and improve on my game-making prowess.

In addition, I believe my extensive previous Game-Master experience will exponentially increase my ability to develop captivating, interesting, and most importantly, fun events for players.  Additionally, if I were to be granted this opportunity, my GM history would allow me to train new GMs in the future and overall increase the quality of experience players have on Garnet.

I sincerely hope that you will grant me this opportunity, because I am extremely passionate about this and I really want to serve the players of Garnet by making entertaining events and creating content that will set the server apart from other SWRP servers.
 

Have you ever been banned or punished on any server?
No

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

4-5 hours a day, not including time I spend off the server thinking of event ideas and brainstorming.

 

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

A Gamemaster’s duty is to brainstorm, write, design, then execute events with enthralling stories as well as fun gameplay.  In my free time I enjoy brainstorming ideas for new events, eventually writing an entire storyboard, and even typing up a briefing document (I acted as commander and a GM).  While this should not be expected from GMs, I believe that doing this increases GM performance drastically.
In addition to creating events, I believe that it is the GMs duty to be actively engaged in PassiveRP, such as developing sims for commanders, helping build bunks, and creating small PassiveRP “events” that can sometimes be as fun as large events.  What I would enjoy doing is creating a CQB simulation room, and other Sim room environments, in place of constantly using the Citadel on Anaxes.
 

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

As the CO of the 501st battalion, I believe that the ability to create PvE simulations for my men would significantly aide in my ability to contribute to RP as part of the GM team.  This would not be exclusive to the 501st; I believe that all battalions would benefit from the ability to host PvE sims.  Furthermore, GM would grant me the ability to create new simulation environments, which would allow us to train in a setting other than the Citadel.

 

Explain your single most creative idea for contributing to the RP environment of the server:
This is similar to my “Transitioning Maps” suggestion.  I believe that a good GM creates fun and interesting events; however, a GREAT  GM consistently develops new and unique ideas for events that have never been seen before.

Following this philosophy, I have thought up of creating events that would not simply last for hours, but for days and possibly even more.  This event would change the map for the duration of the few days.  This type of event would not just simply be shooting and blasting droids constantly.  I am imaging a full-scale planetary assault campaign; comprising of small assaults on supply lines to large assaults on the enemy main base.  This would give Navy the ability to draw up battle plans and execute them with a large player base, and give the player base a unique roleplay experience that hasn’t been seen before on SWRP, and really make the server stand out from others.  (I have experience in creating large RTS events in gmod servers; what I believe is a unique event idea can possibly become more common on GG).

Additionally, I do take inspiration for events from Stellaris Crises, would should give me plenty of content to create intricate stories for players.

 

Please list and explain 5 unique event ideas of any scale: 
1) A large scale military campaign on Geonosis against a droid factory. In the first day, the players (Commanders) will set up bunks, briefing room, mess hall, etc.  This would simulate being deployed to a planet and having to establish a planetary Base of Operations. The players would be able to patrol around the FOB and experience light droid contact.  On the second day, players would assault lesser guarded CIS supply lines, weakening the Defence of the main CIS base on the planet.  This will consist of battalions attacking different objectives throughout the day (ex. 501st attacking a spaceport so the CIS cannot be resupplied, while the 212th attacks a small artillery battery hindering the droids ability to have artillery support (I have Star Wars artillery battery dupes)).  With these small objectives, the battalions CAN fail or succeed, which would affect what the CIS has at their disposal for the final assault.  Finally, on the third day, the clones would launch a major assault (Navy can even draw up battle plans) in which every battalion would attack the droid factory.  An orbital bombardment would precede the assault (GBombs would be useful for this), then the players would commence.  327th demolitionists would have to set up explosives in crucial parts of the factory (separate areas to simulate multiple objectives).

 

2) A multiple map event.  In this event, CIS forces would attack the Anaxes base, which the players would fend off.  Then, the opfor would retreat and the players would follow in a retaliation effort (map change to Venator).  Venator combat would ensue, in which the Droids would board the allied ship, and eventually would be held off.  Then the men on the Venator get deployed to a planet (Kashyyyk or elsewhere), where planetary combat would ensue.  The men would lose this assault and be forced to retreat back to the Venator (map change).  From there ship combat would ensue and the players would be forced to retreat again back to Anaxes (map change), where the players would fend off a droid assault.  This type of event would simulate the changing battle lines that are present in war.

 

3) Instead of constantly fighting against droids I have an event idea in which antlion and combine npcs would be more fitting.  Here the players would be getting “deployed” to the outer rim (map change to another planet) as a deterrent force. During the staging phase, an extra-galactic force who are “fleeing from the Hunters” would reach the planet and attack, this would consist of a light assault on players with a few antlions, striders, and combine dropships.  The extra-galactic refugees would eventually be killed in self-defense, but this would be a precursor event.  Who were these refugees fleeing from? The Yuuzhon Vong.  And from there a large scale Vong event could be drawn up.  Events leading to other events are one of my signature things, I enjoy establishing a story.

 

4) Stepping aside from large scale events, small events on the Anaxes planet could occur.  For example, after a “basic” assault on the planet by droid forces, the droids would set up an FOB in the planet caves (the players would not know).  Then another assault would commence, but there would be no droid ship in the sky.  The Navy would investigate this, and send a battalion to investigate the Town, FOBs, and the caves.  The battalion would report back to Navy and the players would commence an assault on the droid FOB in the caves.
 

5) Clones did not simply fight droids the entire duration of the Clone Wars, they also assisted in humanitarian efforts.  Some PassiveRP events could be in store for that.  For example, a few event characters acting as locals in the Anaxes town would need a water supply restored, or food supplies delivered.  Here the players (perhaps a battalion tops)  would escort a supply package from the base to the town, which would be attacked by native wildlife (antlions).  
As I’ve said small events can be just as enjoyable as large scale events.

I only known Deeko for two days under his command in the 501st but in that time, he's shown himself to be someone who practices a balance of having fun but being serious when it comes down to it. He's been extremely helpful to new players and setting a image that our server is a welcome place to stay. His expertise of creating fun and engaging roleplay is one I hope he brings if he was to get this position.

-1 I’ve been hearing that last night and earlier today you were micspamming. Aswell during the event there were 501st  encouraging clones to jump into the hole. Now I don’t know if you were yourself or not but even letting that happen is a bad example being set

I PT'ed my men and reprimanded the entire battalion for doing that.  I do not condone that behavior nor will I allow that behavior in my battalion to go unpunished.  As for the mic-spam, I apologize for that and will take full responsibility for it.

Seen as a great representation of a proper leader and RPer. Like some of the ideas he has put out here, and has shown that he is willing to be dedicated to adding to the server. 

Best of luck!
