How long have you been roleplaying?: since the start of the server and before

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?: yes, a lot, usually stupid shit and petty arguments

Staff Knowledge Section
What previous experience so you have as a staff member either within Garry’s Mod or the Nutscript Gamemode? LOTS, most of which are currently dead servers cause owners like Heizer said "yeah this is fun and all but how about I quit" or some random bullshit happened where the owner or dev was in a scandal

Why do you believe we should pick you for the Prometheus Networks Staff Team?[300 words or more]:

I'm lenient, I don't care about biases or else I'd not be playing the server at all

I like to help people and build cool stuff that improves the experience

I'm usually on some kind of grind or wait when I'm in the server so I'd passively be helping people on wait to my next sit

I plan on teaching new players what not to do instead of punishing them outright (MRDM and other blatant rulebreaks excluded)

 

What are the duties and responsibilities of the position you are applying for in your own words? [150 Words or more]:

there's not 150 words of what staff do, they enforce the rules according to their understanding and double check to make sure they're not about to fuck somebody or underplay the damage someone did in roleplay

Notes: if this application gets accepted I still need a ton of teaching how to use the model of admin menu and other basic stuff other than that I'm not stupid I'll figure it out

I appreciate the honesty... However the word limits aren't difficult to reach, all members of staff previous and current are able to provide that. I'd suggest expanding you application with further detail, including you characters.

 

For now it is -1.

Absolutely no effort has been put into the Application. If you have 'Petty Arguments' and do 'Stupid Shit', you are a good fit for our Team. Regardless, not completing the Template correctly ensures Denial regardless of anyone's + or - 1's.

I appreciate the feedback myself, but no, not all accepted staff have reached the 150 word limit let alone the 300 word limit, I feel like they're remnants of the past that we can really move on from if we want a practical outlook on who's applying for staff

I'm not a lazy staff member, I don't just dismiss people's behavior, and the point of my application being so short is to get to the point already, I'm not 150 or 300 words interesting, I'm telling you how simple my role would be as staff and the point in doing as I do, and I swear I'll do it well enough that you won't care how short this application is

you type like a fifth grader and your argument sounds kind of weak being that you haven't even figured out what these petty and stupid shits are, I've made mistakes and I'm owning up to them here but then I get dogged on for it in manners like this where I just want to try helping you guys out for once

 

that being said, the initial attitude of staff members in general is usually what pushes the mood for other staff to act in line with, so I'll say you effectively chose the outcome by being low effort on your own and not really giving a fuck about the context or potential for even letting me be a trial mod, having been in this server since the literal start and done quite a bit to open the roleplay as it is right now, but not in ways I can say without metagame

I’ll just go through each point, it will be very simple and brief:

 

Low effort into the application, not even meeting the basic requirements.

You do well in a niche part of roleplay and within Ouroboros, but I doubt you have an understanding of the rules from the perspective of a staff member.

Also, Looking at it rationally, I wouldn’t want someone to take my ticket who forces a voice!

 

This isn’t to bash you, I’m looking at this from a common view. That’s all.

The confidence is admirable, however the 450 words total, is a very lenient bare minimum, it should not be difficult to reach, it is your way to convince us why you deserve to be a member of our staff team, a position which gives you the ability to greatly affect the server. Furthermore, I'd highly suggest you do not take such a argumentative stance regarding those who are given you feedback, our staff team have pointed out some very valid points and I'd suggest taking it in your stride. You lack a community presence which I can agree upon, myself not knowing you included. And you have left yourself open with the limited application with the very very informal, application, our staff team are expected to show a certain level of professionalism. How would a member of our community react if you took a RDM ticket for example and claimed "Nah yeah shit it was just bullshit you were killed". 

I do understand where you are coming from, but certain standards are expected.

 

I'd suggest changing your outlook in your application.

 

Good luck.

being forced to argue my integrity over how I sound isn't fun, and looking at accepted applications led me to believe the better choice is not to fill the gaps with empty words

you cannot find everything out you want to know about me in 150 or 300 words, maybe if you asked for specific things like the benefits and downsides or a more linear method we might actually get somewhere, but I feel like it would be incredibly inflated to force in a hundred or two hundred more words than necessary and within my nature,

you guys know how I talk, and I can talk plenty, the issue is if I have nothing to work on I'll end up blabbering about worthless details or superficial things about how I would act as a staff membere

 

as for the lack of understanding, the only things I do not understand are how you guys can see it fit to choose subjectively what is or is not against the rules based on how you feel and what you had for lunch, I would much rather a solid, set standard for how to treat players both based on their past as well as what they're doing in the moment, which in my experience as staff on historia and other ww2 servers has led to a rather long healthy career until the owners fuck up really badly or decide not to listen to me when I tell them to ban certain individuals that are an open problem for the server, and even when that happens I don't crash out, I just stop playing, I do not have the energy for that kind of stuff, I'm either here for you or I'm gone

also, the GOLDEN rule about staff and understanding their say; what UA says goes, disagreement is not a factor in how you play, it's only a feeling

the way you described that potential for a staff interaction is exactly how most staff sits go in my experience, not that I'd be like that myself

I don't intend on using my mic very often if I am made staff, unless people just keep yelling and I need to shut people up for a second, but I usually type as staff so people can see without misunderstanding or mishearing me when I tell them what the case is and how they can handle it

if somebody got RDM'd, showed me a clip and it was legitimate, the first thing I would do is comp that person, ask them to be quiet and let me handle the RDMer, copy RDM'ers steam ID, bring him to the sit room and see how he conducts himself; from there two things can happen;

1. I punish the RDMer based on if he was disrespectful, shooting in the staff room or RDM'd the victim again (beginning with looking at his notes first), if he LTAPs it gets worse for him

2. I talk to the RDMer about what he did, tell him not to do that again, tell him how to avoid a situation like that if necessary and note him if it felt like an intentional thing, or ban him if he had a history.
