In-game name: GeorgeologistSteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:80230016Staff members in-game name: MrMurkasaurus1Staff members SteamID (https://garnetgaming.net/darkrp/bans) (/id (name): STEAM_0:0:189735324Date & Time of incident: 06/26/2026 @ ~1530Timezone: CDTBan Reason: Scripting (auto word) | MurkHow long were you banned for?: 1 yearWhat happened? (include any proof): Hello, Let me preface this, I was banned for scripting and the punishment on the D3A for scripting is a permanent ban. I appreciate the fact that I was only given 1 year, I am being shown leniency based on the D3A that I am grateful for. I understand the gravitas of this situation and how my appeal provides evidence against me which could lead to a permanent ban. However, it is my objective to show you that what I did does not qualify as scripting based on previous cases of scripting bans. Prior to embarking on creating a tool that solves the word unscramble, I read all the rules to confirm an automation tool like a game bot or solver bot was not explicitly prohibited like in games such as Runescape or WoW. The only place I found relevance to my situation was the D3A mentioning scripting. The google definition of scripting essentially includes the process of writing tasks to automate repetitive tasks, but based on my research and experience, I felt like Garnet Gaming intended a more specific and relevant definition, client-sided lua script execution. Link to a picture of a previous scripting ban appeal verdict. Client-sided lua script execution is disabled by the server because game cheats or "hacks" use internal lua scripts to unfairly access data like player location to allow aimbot or ESP/wallhack. My tool is completely external written in python and does not inject anything into the game process such as a DLL and only "accesses" optical game data that is available to everyone. My tool also has a similar sized dictionary of 50,000 words compared to typical adults which have 42,000 words based on this study. The main unfair advantage that my tool provides compared to an intelligent adult would be typing speed. Once case of a permitted automation tool or "script" that also provides the advantage of typing speed is Checkered Pangolin's Casino Kit, it is an external program written in C# that allowed players to automatically run a casino with some player input, the dealer would press a hotkey to show whether the player hit or stood and the program automatically typed the result into the game chat. I understand my argument is highly pedantic and is highly dependent on opinion, but the DarkRP Server Rules and GarnetGaming Community Guidelines make no mention of player run bots or automation tools and the previous bans for scripting were typically for people injecting client-side lua scripts which is bypassing essentially an anti-cheat and is expressly disallowed by the server config. There may be a conventional wisdom known to staff that what I did was obviously against the rules but I am ignorant to this. It was my intention to create an automation tool or player bot that automatically solved and entered in the word unscramble. However, it was not my intention to break the server rules. I understand that my bot was unfair to other players due to the speed of answering, but my intention was to create more of a "cheeky" advantage that was not technically against the rules unlike RDM between friends which is expressly against the rules yet often overlooked. Lastly, I am willing to accept my ban if my punishment deemed as just, I would also like rules to be added to the DarkRP Server Rules that explicitly states what is not permitted around scripting. I will be able to play again another day and I will see you all again in a year. I am willing to show the staff the source code and explain how my automation tool works in as much detail as I can, in private, to prevent the proliferation of this bot considering that I was banned for this. -

I mean, if you're just going to use a script to unscramble the word, then it kinda defeats the purpose of this post, no? -
In-game name: Jund Al Sham J1mmy Mohammed Age [minimum 15 y/o]: 23 SteamID (https://steam/d.io): STEAM_0:0:56225858 Previous GarnetGaming Punishments: Cant remember been like 3 years Timezone: EST Playtime? [Estimated total between GG MRP/SWRP]: 500+ hours from when I originally played the on the server before it shutdown Do you have access to Discord and a microphone?: Yes Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?:Yes Have you ever been staff on a server using Nutscript?: No Have you ever been staff on a server that utilizes PK's (Player Kills): [YES/NO] No Referral(s): Shwade, Tesla Past experiences as a GM: No but I have been staff on GarnetGaming MRP as a S.mod Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Back in 2023 What inspired you to apply for this position?: What inspired me was the need for more events during peacetime and make peacetime a little more interesting. The US from what I've seen so far gets checkpoints in the little town while Taliban just sits there chilling. Both sides need equal opportunity for some RP and not get bored during peacetime. I also noticed the GM's assisting the staff team with sits and issues players are dealing with. I see this as a way for myself to assist players and also let them know their issues are important to the team. I would like to be the GM that people can ask for certain type of events or ask for assistance. I can also assist with tryouts for leaders that need's constant TP's for their guys to make tryouts quicker for them. I would also like to see more raid events where the raiding team can get a intel boost with higher. Peacetime activity right now is very low where people go afk and wait for, I would like to change that by like I said more raid events, more rewarding events for war, or just to let players have fun like a free for all. I would love to see Tali and US working together on events during peacetime giving both parties time to play with each other as a server. In my experience on playing on Garnet MRP from back in 2023 to now the GM's have always made events fun and interesting and I would like to be apart of that to allow the server to grow more and keep it alive. Thank you for your time to read this GM App. List and explain 3 unique event ideas that a few squads (10-20 people total) would participate in: Jugg Raids - This event will allow 1 Person from each faction to be a Jugg and allow for just some fun raiding with a certain amount of health and the minigun. The whole idea for this is for teams to have fun kill and try to neutralize the threat aka the Jugg. As soon as the first fac is done the opposing fac will get a jugg and also raid the opposing sides base. Intel Gathering - The event would be that a carrier was spotted heading towards the city and the Defending team will escort the carrier while the Offensive team tries to take out the carrier for RP Intel. For ex Logistics type of enemies dealing with, what firepower they have hidden. This will open up to a chance to raid for the item or whatever to use during war as an advantage. Convoy escort - The Defenders escorting the convoy are trying to defend the vehicles so base resupply and more firepower can be delivered. The Offensive team is trying to take the supplies for their own use. Event reward will be a boost in firepower during war for which ever fac secures the cargo List and explain 3 unique global event ideas designed for the entire server to participate in: Free For All - Basically explains itself but allow all players to go into an arena and just have fun killing each other and use whatever weapon on their classes to fight each other. Invasion - So Aliens have invaded and both factions can work together to eliminate the threat. The aliens have taken all primary weapons however did not see pistols being a threat to their species. Reward would be for both factions to possibly gather alien tech and will be able to use it during war. (if allowed) Fac V Fac - Now I have seen where factions can go against each other to see who is the best faction in the server. For Ex Base Tali vs Base Marine, Jund vs MARSOC, DF vs AQ. The winners not only get the right to be called best faction but will split a cash reward among peers that contributed in the Fac v Fac. List and explain 2 instances where a PK might occur: Hostage Rescue - Where a volunteer allows to be capture where the defending team has to maintain the individual until all Intel has been retrieved ,after all the intel is gathered the defending team executes the captured individual. The Offensive team has to retrieve the individual from the defending team not only to maintain security of secrets but also because they want the individual that's captured to return home. (Only for players that have been burned out or wants to start a new character for a different fac. Court Martial - So with this event the players has been found selling intel or weapons to the enemy. The player faces a court martial where the sentence is being shipped off to prison or facing a firing squad of 5-10 other players. This event will require a Defense Attorney and Prosecutor. Multiple players will be told what they seen as well as props in play for evidence for both sides. Whether the player is found not guilty he will be sent off to another base so no problems can occur, where as he is found guilty he is to be executed or sent to prison.

Hello, The word unscramble is a fun intermittent challenge that often draws my attention. Occasionally, there are scrambles that make no sense or completely baffle me. I was wondering if Garnet could post the word scramble solutions list and/or have it say in chat what the correct word was. Here is an example message "[GarnetGaming] Georgeologist typed the word hurry in time and won $900." or " Nobody unscrambled the word hurry in time." Sincerely, Georgeologist -

For someone who has made Multiple applications in the past and should know better when it comes to being told about "writing 2 paragraphs" I'm Generally Confused on why the same mistake was made again when the format clearly states "minimum 2 paragraphs" -1
