In-Game Name: Swain

Steam ID: 76561198797628722

Steam Profile Link:
Age: 18

Timezone: EST

Hours Played on Server (Search on Gametracker): 9.45 [I think this means 9 hours? almost 9 and a half?]

Have you ever been kicked/warned/banned? If yes, explain in detail: Nope

Do you have any experience being staff on GMOD? If yes state what server, positions, and time period: I was a developer and head of GM in this one server, I cannot recall the name of it, but it was during October - December of 2021.

Do you have experience with Simple Admin Mod commands? I can recall some, I'd need a refresher honestly.

What can you bring to the Staff team?: I can bring ideas to the table for events, I can help out in other events.

Why would you like to join the PR staff team?: I want to help make things enjoyable for others, to maintain activity.

Why should we accept you over other applicants?: I've had a good experience when it came to GM in the previous server I was in, my events were rated one of the top ones in the server. This tells me that if I kept using my creativity, with limitations of course, it should help make a healthy server.

Sample event (typed up event script):

Event 2​

"Lesson Learned"

The ship enters orbit around a beachy planet (rp_tnb_coast) and sends out LAATs to land on a coastline to look for items to repair the ship. Whilst landing on this coastline, clones see a town riddled with curious but scared civilians. Among these civilians, one of them, named Pla’Took Inur, introduces himself to the clones and mentions that he has important information about the CIS and The Menace. Pla’took is then of interest to the clones, and is marked top priority for the clones. Pla’Took Inur is taken back to the FOB located anywhere on the coast for questioning about CIS schemes and schedules. Whilst being questioned, a bounty hunter, from a distance, kills Pla’Took Inur as he tries talking about the one who wields a double-bladed lightsaber. After Pla’Took Inur dies, the clones have to evacuate from the planet to avoid being sniped, with the information they now know. (New technology is being invented by The Menace, this technology is not known to the clones or Jedi; The Menace is strong in the dark side of the force, and the name of The Menace is yet to be discovered by the clones.)

What is one key thing that should be exercised while running an event?: I believe the one key thing that should be exercised is quantity. Too much of something can cause lag, and people don't realize that. There are people out there with machines that can only handle a certain threshold of NPCs, vehicles, items, etc. and I believe it is an aspect of an event that is often overlooked or not thought of.

How often can you be online?: I can be online most days of the week and I can be online during weekends. On weekdays, I may have to go into work, in which I'd be working at night.

Do you have a working microphone?: Yes.

Please state one reference (optional): General Phantom from the previous server I had developed.

-1 While you do seem like a fine dude, I am concerned with a couple of things in your Application.
1. The Application itself, while the answers are fine, is barebones. It looks like you slapped it together in about 20 minutes, and I mean you obviously copy and pasted a event script from some old event (not to shame, i'd do the same). It could use for some more fluff, even if its just bs.
2. Regarding your claim of being Staff on a previous server, while I won't say that you are lying the fact that you can not recall the name of a Server you were engaged in to a point of being the Head of Gamemasters 2 months ago brings in some suspect shit, Plus the fact that your reference is someone from said server whose name you don't know is even more suspect.
3. While not necessarily a negative thing, you only have 9 hours on the server and before attempting to become staff I'd say boost your playtime to atleast 15 or 20-
but that's a personal preference.

Oh my gosh I didn't even realize I put 2022, I meant to put 2021. Thank you for pointing that out.
I did copy and paste an event from a google document of mine, which has multiple events within an "event series," if you will.
The reason why I can't recall the name of the server is because the server is shut down now, or at least, for a while. It did lose activity over time, which caused me to leave and forget about it naturally.
I can understand the playtime on the server, but I'm being good with activity so it should change.
I appreciate you looking this over, though.

Neutral. Seems like a solid application and good event planned. But i agree with some of Hyde’s points. Boost your time on the server a bit. Get the time to get to know the players and staff and get experience playing events.
