Description: I suggest adding Wiremod to the Garnet Gaming DarkRP server as a core addon to massively expand building and roleplay possibilities. Wiremod introduces a suite of advanced tools like wiring gates, sensors, range checkers, hoverballs, thrusters, and the powerful Expression 2 (E2) scripting system, allowing players to create fully automated contraptions that integrate seamlessly into DarkRP. Imagine gun dealers running compact auto-shops where players insert money and get weapons instantly, bases with smart damage detectors that alert owners or auto-deploy defenses, hovercars for fast travel or raids, teleporters between bases, and vending machines for food/drugs. To keep it balanced, we could implement server-side restrictions like disabling harmful E2 functions (e.g., no player-damaging scripts), prop limits per player, and admin approvals for complex builds—similar to how many successful DarkRP servers handle it. This would turn static bases into dynamic, interactive hubs without overwhelming the server.   Reasoning: Adding Wiremod would supercharge player engagement and retention by giving creative builders a reason to grind jobs, invest in bases, and collaborate on tech RP—leading to longer sessions and higher population peaks. It attracts a dedicated Wiremod community (huge on GMod Workshop with millions of downloads), drawing in new players who might stick around for our DarkRP vibe, boosting ad revenue and VIP sales. New RP depth emerges: tech-savvy jobs like "Inventor" or "Mechanic" for custom vehicles/shops, raid-proof bases with auto-turrets/sensors, and economy boosts from efficient printers/farms. Staff benefits too—fewer boring sits on prop abuse, more fun events like Wiremod build contests or hovercar races. Servers with Wiremod see more innovation and less stagnation, as seen in popular showcases and community discussions on enhanced DarkRP experiences.   Additional Information: Here are some visual examples of what Wiremod can enable in DarkRP-style servers: Epic Wiremod hovercar in action—perfect for fast travel or raid getaways. Compact auto gun shop setup where players can buy weapons hands-free. Smart damage detector/base defense system that triggers alerts or countermeasures. Showcase of advanced Wiremod builds—complex contraptions that add real depth to RP. Detailed wiring example demonstrating how players can create interactive machines. These visuals show the kind of creative, fun, and practical additions Wiremod brings—definitely worth considering to level up the server! Let me know if you'd like any tweaks or more details. 🚀     ~Bangerz~

In-game name: Bangerz Discord username: Bangerz Age: 26 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:45208586 (verified via https://steamid.io/) Active Warns: None Timezone: CDT (Central Daylight Time) – I'm very flexible and responsive; a Discord ping can usually wake me up if needed. Current Playtime: 2300+ hours total, with active playtime on the server currently at 175 hours (and still climbing as an active player). Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: YES I have a primary microphone and backups ready. My communication is clear and professional (even if I have a cold or COVID that day—grammar stays solid). Are you a member of the Garnet Gaming DarkRP Discord?: YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YES I have plenty of recording experience and can provide clips or full sessions when needed. Referral(s): Any active players or admins who know me—I'm known as a cool, chill dude who's always down to help, joke around, keep things fun and positive in-game. Feel free to add anyone who plays regularly and can vouch for me! Past experiences as staff: I've held high-ranking staff positions in over 10 Garry's Mod communities, including leading forums, Discord servers, TeamSpeak channels, and in-game organizations/teams. Garry's Mod has been a passion since before 2011 (starting with the original GMod 10), and I've built strong leadership skills through moderating, event planning, and community management over the years. Why should we choose you over other applicants?: [minimum 2 paragraphs] You should choose me because I'm deeply committed to this community and consistently show up for my fellow players—checking in on friends, new players, and regulars alike to ensure everyone has a positive experience. Whether it's handling a quick sit or resolving a complex situation involving multiple people, I genuinely enjoy making a difference and helping others. My real-world role as a chef in a professional kitchen has honed my leadership, patience, teaching ability, and teamwork skills—qualities that translate directly to staff work. I love bringing creative ideas to the table to boost fun, laughter, and engagement, turning Garnet into an even better "home" for everyone. Being approachable and proactive means players feel supported, and I always aim to contribute to a welcoming, entertaining environment. Beyond that, I'm highly active and reliable when other staff aren't online—jumping into sits, assisting players, and keeping things smooth. For example, I recently pinged Carrot to hop on and handle mass RDMers because I prioritize server health. With years of gaming experience and building genuine connections across communities (not just Garnet), I know how to balance enforcement with fairness and fun. I'm excited to dedicate my time and passion long-term, taking initiative to assist, lead by example, and strengthen friendships while helping the server thrive. I've applied once before when life was hectic and I couldn't give it my full effort, but I did my best back then. Now my schedule is wide open, and I'm fully dedicated—no distractions, just pure focus on being the reliable, positive staff member this server deserves. Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: No bans on any server. I've been jailed once in the past, but nothing beyond that. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Yes, I applied once before (a while back). Life was really busy at the time, and while I tried my best to contribute during that period, I wasn't able to commit as fully as I wanted. Things have changed a lot since then—I'm now in a great spot with tons of free time and 100% dedication to the community and the staff role. How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: 40+ hours per week, as long as I'm available (very flexible schedule—basically whenever the server needs me). If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod?: Professional chef work, fishing, car racing, general gaming, and car detailing. Did you read the staff rules?: Yes! Thank you for considering my application—I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Garnet team! This time around, with a clean slate, more experience, and full dedication, I'm ready to step up and make a real impact. Let's do this! 🚀      ~Bangerz~

I agree with Dan. If we are going to raise a cap I think it should be the lotto aswell. Duels can be easily manipulated by someone cheating whether they’re pocket cheating or blatantly aimbotting. With the lottery, it’s all RNG With that being said, I’m going to give this a -1

+1 I've never personally met you, but I like your paragraphs, and I believe you can be a great asset.

-1 if we are going to raise a cap i think we should remove lotto cap first
