General Blue

Idk, an American crime family sounds a little far fetched. But if you have 8 people and are willing to do non-autistic civ RP, why not? +1

Shocking that our new trial moderator Major Whoreson helped you make this application. Show's why it is such high quality!

Bro is overqualified. +1

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?: Not for a long time. I can't see my notes history, but I don't think I have any this year. Staff Knowledge Section What previous experience so you have as a staff member either within Garry’s Mod or the Nutscript Gamemode? I've been staff on a couple small gmod servers, mainly DarkRP. I don't remember the name of them, so it doesn't really matter much. Head Admin on Goliad Gaming: I was the 3rd highest staff member on Goliad Gaming Revolutionary War RP for around a year or so. Eventually I got perma banned for some stupid shit, but came back a year later, then was ad admin for another year and a'half after I got unbanned. I was in a Zuthar13 video, and I banned him. This was so many years ago, I was probably 13 or something. Admin on Typhon Networks: Admin on Typhon, was also Trusted. Not much to say about it. Admin & Gamemaster on Prometheus Networks: I can't remember if I was an admin on Prom once or twice as I tend to get it mixed up with Typhon as the servers are so similar. I was an admin at the same time @Viruswas, so imagine if I stuck with the community all this time? I'd probably be a high ranking UA member lol. Why do you believe we should pick you for the Prometheus Networks Staff Team?[300 words or more]: I have a shit ton of experience on this server and the community since I've been playing back since Kevin Goldbergstein was the owner of Typhon. I couldn't give an exact amount of time that i've played 1942 rp, but I have 6.3k hours in gmod, so it's a sad amount. I know how to RP, and try to rp differently than the usual as a way to spice things up. Hence why I rp as an old man and speak like an old man, or do a homeless drug addict so the Lapo can brutalise and arrest me. Ultimately, I try to create RP where I go since I know how to. Before Trusted was removed, I held those powers for a while and don't remember ever getting punished for abusing them. I actually used to go in OOC, find people who needed help, and drive across the city to set up recruits or promote people before I was staff as a way to help. Staff at that time wasn't good and barely took tickets (1-2 years ago), so people would complain in ooc about their enlisted soldiers promotion taking forever. I would literally tell the person to meet me at the gate of their building, and would drive over to change the soldiers rank. People really appreciated this, and it was a big part in me becoming staff later. I feel like i've proven my trustworthiness from my previous time as staff and trusted. Even after becoming staff, I still used the Trusted commands. /charsetmodel @ (string), /charsetname @, /charsetfaction mil, etc. I honestly hate the staff stick, and barely used it unless I was doing something very specific. I would also bind my up arrow to !grabid @ and my left arrow to !freeze @. These commands worked pretty good for me the few times I was staff, so I plan to keep doing it. Honestly I could start day one. Now, i'm not disrespecting our current staff team, they're great, but a big issue affects the servers staff team. Allow the following image to demonstrate... As you can see from above, this is the cycle of becoming staff. A person gets promoted to a high job, which means they get known by the staff team and the community. Said person then applies for staff, and probably gets accepted. The issue is that the person still has their high ranking larp character, and their character is required for RP situations to run smoothly. Can you imagine doing Civil War RP while the Ordermarshall is taking tickets? He is required to lead his faction. Staff also tend to have an easier job getting high positions as they are trusted considerably within the community. This leads to staff not taking tickets during peak hours. Not because they're lazy and don't want to, it's because they are required to be in RP. This is where I come in. I don't have any vital or important rp jobs. Honestly I have no interest in political RP due to how long i've played on these servers. I enjoy rping as an old man, a drug addict, or a low ranking soldier who gets to shoot people during civil wars. None of these jobs are important, so I don't mind hopping off and taking tickets to keep the server running smoothly. I'm not claiming to have a solution to every problem the community has, i'm not a miracle worker. I'm simply saying I have more freedom during peak hours than average staff, and I could help out a bit by taking tickets during that time. I also want to be realistic with you all. I'm married, a full time student working towards my doctorate, a full time worker, and a historical reenactor. Back on Typhon, I had the overall ticket record for a while when I took 1,119 tickets in a single week. That's not something i'm capable of doing again. I don't see any problems reaching my weekly quota, but I want to be upfront about my time and availability. As HR manager Slug will probably remember, I had an issue or two with a member or two in the community (cough cough, looking at you Saito). I wasn't in a good mental state before because all I did was sit around and play larp, I held hella grudges. Now a'days, my life has meaning and I am significantly more happy in life, so I don't see myself clashing with certain people so strongly. I apologize to them for acting childish! I tend to view myself as independent and attempt to handle problems myself by what I think is fair. Depending on who you ask, this can be a pro or a con. Where on one hand I could handle a sit in a good way and not have to bother people for a solution, on another hand, I could handle it in a way UA doesn't like. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what is ok and what's not, but I tend to bend the rules. For example, I remember a sit I had with a man who was RDM'd. At least at the time, we were told we weren't permitted to reimburse people for RDM. The guy asked me for his gun back, and that's what I told him, that we couldn't. He said he has no money left and pleaded for his gun. I used my admin stick and saw he only had 57 marks left on his person, so I bent the rules and gave him a pistol. I feel like as staff, we should be willing to bend the rules Juuuuuussstt a little bit to make the players experience more enjoyable. What I did was wrong by UA standards, but I felt like I did the right thing overall. What are the duties and responsibilities of the position you are applying for in your own words? [150 Words or more]: Staff keep the server running essentially. Stuck in a wall? Retard named Chao Vin Bing runs you over with a car and kills you? Lose your expensive gun in a war game? All of that and more involves staff handling the situation. Staff are pillars of the community, and are representatives of the community. It's simple. Get on, handle people's problems, and don't make the community look bad. If a new player sees a staff member going around shouting slurs, they'll think that the entire server does the same thing, which is a fair assumption to make. Staff should try to be at least semi-professional, or else they make themselves and everyone else on the server look like idiots. Staff also have a duty to take tickets during peak hours. You can't have all of the power and not use it. I would always get bothered over having 13 staff members on the server and not a single person taking tickets. There's honestly not much to say, it's a pretty simple and self-explanatory job. You take tickets. Notes:

Hahahahahahahahaha

Vehicles that they have to pay for, bro. The way you're describing it sounds like they can just spawn trucks from a job vendor for drug shipments. We had a system like this a while ago and it was removed for a reason.

I can see it now... Bald civilian with the last name of "Vanlooper" gets in one of the drug trucks and smashes into a group of military doing a march. We CANNOT give civilians vehicles lol.

Staff recommendation and experienced larper +1

Would be nice to have a map that says what building stuff is. I can already imagine telling a Grenadier to head to the High Imperial Quarters or something and them being like "huh??" As long as it doesn't show props or people of course.

+1 We can throw him in Lapo cells and let him sit there.

Because saying stupid ban reasons is funny. I used to do it when I was staff, but I got yelled at for it.

Old Man Jenkins loves Beast Mode! +1

Major Whoreson is the communities new moderator, we'll have a talk to him about banning people without sits. This behavior is not tolerated in PRometheus Networks! Thank you for your report.

We used to have a surrender command, like /anim 2, but it's gone for some reason. I think this is a great suggestion. +1

I was there. The KG literally shot one of the soldiers in the head and killed him for no reason. Of course a Prussian officer would open fire under such injustices. This stuff happens all the time. One person shoots another, then a shootout starts, literally every night. We shouldn't pk people for stuff like this. At least if this guy gets pk'd, the person who originally shot should be pk'd too. You can't just murder people.

I miss having a smoke with the boys. Coco Yotte. Old Man Jenkins needs his cigarettes

16? Run for the hills bro. There are some creepy-ass people who play Gmod.

Looks like a great guy. My only question is with you being chief of the NSB, are you going to be able to take tickets during the high hours of the server when tickets are the highest and the server population is at it's height? Surely you'll need to be in the city for rp to run smoothly, so what's your plan for taking tickets? Thanks!

I WILL NOT hand over my drugs and alcohol.

I feel like we should give the guy ONE MORE chance. What's the worst that happens? He Mass RDM's again and get exiled? He knows he F#cked up and, if unbanned, is on extremely thin ice. I use to be a hella minge back in the days of Typhon and early Prom, but I eventually got myself together. People grow up and mature with time. He's trying to own up to his mistakes. +1. LAST CHANCE, then community exile.

Why not just keep the original application and stop being staff on the other server??? Seems unnecessary to make a second application. You have a lot of server experience so +1 ig. Just don't be toxic.

Seems like a great guy. Jenkins Approves! +1

I miss being trusted, bring it back! It's so common to be sitting there with a recruit while staff are either rping or dealing with serious rp situations. Let's be honest, in order to become staff, you often have to be a known member of the community. How do people achieve being known you may ask? Well, that's usually through having some sort of high ranking or important character. When the daily civil war hits, these people need to be in the city for rp to flow, so that leaves a hole in the staff team, hence why the server has ticket issues later in the day. It's a nice luxury to have a trusted person near you in order to set up your recruit or promote a person. Honestly just having trusted to recruit people into factions is enough of a help. Maybe bring back trusted, but they can't promote and only recruit?

What?...
