Francois handles matters pertaining to foreign immigrants, ministry-controlled territories, mineral rights in said territories, and other general administrative duties when the need arises.
3. Giuseppe Chiappone
Giuseppe Chiappone is a recognizable Italian immigrant working in the Gottingen Corporation. He was once a respected religious figure, but with the lessening interest in religion within Berlin, he has relegated himself to working just as any other man in the nation.
-While he no longer preaches as he used to, he can still be found walking the streets of Berlin, giving to the needy, and assisting those he can.
4. Obergrenadier Nick Dickerson II
-Despite his odd-sounding name and lackluster rank, Dickerson II holds a prestigious title within the Imperial Armed Forces as a member of Military Intelligence Warplanning. He prides himself on his daily work towards the war effort and can often be found working away at new plans within his office in the Bendlerblock.
-When not formulating new and daring plans, he often participates in war games and recruitment drives with the other branches of the Armed Forces. He’s frequently seen assisting in any way he can financially to those soldiers who are less than well off to ensure their efficiency and safety in battle.
5. Kiyoshi Takunaga
-There is not much to be said for Mr. Takunaga. He is a lowly employee/singer for a local cigar lounge and bar.
How long have you been role-playing? I have been actively role-playing on GMod and other games for 12 years, since 2013.
Have you received any infractions, i.e., Notes/Bans? If so, what were they for, and what could you have done to prevent getting them next time? I have not received a Note or a Ban since 2023. It was a ban received by Hound, but I'm not sure what it was for. Regardless, I've matured since then and have not been in any trouble from that point or since my return to Prometheus.
Staff Knowledge Section
What previous experience do you have as a staff member within Garry’s Mod or the Nutscript Gamemode? I was a trusted user a long while ago when I was the second in command of the KG (pre Kaiserreich) but i have not had any moderation experience within NutScript. However, I have experience in other gamemodes, such as Clone Wars Roleplay, DarkRP, and a few months on a small Halo RP server. IN total I'd say around 1 1/2 years worth of experience.
Why do you believe we should pick you for the Prometheus Networks Staff Team?[300 words or more]:
I'm an extremely active player, often logging a few hours on my days off from work, and consistently being on at least 4 times a week. While I can understand my experience in being a member of moderation is quite limited compared to others who may apply, I believe that a lot of the time, those who are so experienced tend to abuse that authority over the community more than others. The same can also be said of those with little to no experience. I firmly believe there is a certain point where people who want to be staff or moderators truly want to dedicate themselves to helping the community instead of just gaining the ability to ban, kick, mute, or gag people on a whim.
I don’t say this to put down other applicants, either; I mean to point out my view from having been an active GMod player for the last 12 years. I’ve played this game and interacted with so many of its communities that you begin seeing behavior patterns with certain individuals. In more or less words, I’ve been around the communities of GMod for so long that I think I’ve had the chance to see all parts of the spectrum of moderation and to replicate only the best behaviors. I see myself as someone who can log onto the server, help anyone who may have an issue or want clarification on what certain server rules are supposed to mean, and how players can better abide by them.
I believe that out of the many applicants you have and will receive, I am the best option for the newest addition to the staff team. I am a dedicated player, a believer in following rules that keep the community safe, a person people can trust with their problems, and someone who is recognizable by many people in the community, both old and new.
What are the duties and responsibilities of the position you are applying for in your own words? [150 Words or more]:
In my view, the duties of staff members is to:
1. Protect the community from harassment, threat, violence (of any kind,) and mistreatment.
2. Ensure that people who are not willing to follow the rules set out by the community managers are followed, ensuring those who want to be here can do so without disruption by those who only come to create problems.
3. Maintain a level of respect between themselves and the wider community. When you join a server and your first introduction to it is a member of the staff team disrespecting you, it's not going to be a place with many members. I see those with roles as staff as a sort of dignitary for the server owner(s), and with such a position, it should be expected for them to behave in a manner that doesn’t constantly belittle people.
In short, the moderation team is supposed to be there to prevent issues and to snub them out when they arise. They should be the ones providing the best example for the player base, not being the least-liked. They are the people we need to trust to treat us with dignity and respect in any situation, and should be able to help us without putting our problems on blast to everyone in the community. I’ve seen all-too-many times where staff act like bullies who behave like the jock cliche from a crappy high school movie from the eighties. I think the best way to sum it up is this: Respect the community, protect the community, nurture the community, and foster a community of kind and helpful individuals. Thank you to those who have read my application, regardless of how you vote.
Notes:
Regarding my time on the server, the time I have put above is only the time since the last wipe and does not reflect the time I have spent on the server. At the time of the data wipe, I had around 2 12 months on the server, which was spread over about 1 year. (I know it's an unhealthy addiction to the crack that is Prom)
Thank you to those who have read my application, regardless of how you vote.
