This standard is varied, although a minimum of 20 hours per week is strongly advised. Do you understand that your application’s comments from other staff members are encouraged to be directed as harsh constructive criticism only and should never be intended to insult or discourage? Scenarios: Disclaimer - Be advised, extremely low effort answers for the following questions will result in your application to be either put on hold until a better standard is reached, or outwrite deleted. Please refer to previously accepted applications or ask a current staff member to then influence your own unique response. (Any forged responses will result in a denied application) A user is RDMing and insulting other users. You are the only staff available to deal with the situation. What do you do? first I would use !sitbring to bring the player getting rdmed\insulted then speaking with them about the situation once have spoken to the I would use command !return the player back to where they were then i would do !sitbring {rdmer name} to the sit room then stripping them, then after that I would speak with the culprit and gain his side of the story. then I would use !steamid {player} to retrieve there id then use !logs and look for kills that he has committed once I do that I would speak with the player explaining that he cant do whatever his doing then do !warns to check if he has any prior warnings and if he doesnt i would then do !warn  [STEAMID] | RDM & PLAYER DISRESPECT | Marcelous A user has contested a warn you have given him and proceeds to verbally abuse you, what do you do? I would let them know they are in the right to contest a warn as it is something I have done in the past on another server but they need to speak respectfully so we can talk together about the issue. If the player calms down then I would proceed to let them know that the warn is used purely as a matter of record and as long as rules are followed from now on it won't have any effect with their time on the server. If the player continues to verbally abuse me I will use !gag [PLAYER] and inform them that they are going to be verbally warned for staff abuse and if it continues it can escalate to a written warning. I would then proceed to let the player know if they wish to raise the complaint they can contact an Admin+ to contest it and if they wish to file a staff report about me they can access it on the forums and proceed to give them the link if required. I would then use !ungag [PLAYER] and !sitreturn [PLAYER] A user has threatened to DDos and take down the server. What do you do? Firstly I would immediately use medal to take video evidence of the user threatening to DDos the server, I would then use !steamid [PLAYER] then immediately use !ban [STEAMID] |(Max Time allowed depending on rank)| DDos Threat. I would then immediately contact higher staff whether in game or in discord and send the evidence of the DDos threat so the ban can be extended A Commander and Lieutenant are arguing in front of debrief. It is getting quite heated. The context to the argument is unknown to you. What do you do? I would firstly PM both the Commander and the Lieutenant as well ask in staff chat if this is a RP argument to not disrupt and potential RP. If this is a RP situation then I would handle the matter in RP, If the situation is not an RP situation I would then !gag [PLAYER] to both the Commander and Lieutenant. I would then tell them to leave to debrief and only you !sitbring [PLAYER] as a last resort to not make a large scene during debrief. Then I would take both of them to a private area and say “I am going to ungag you both, don't start yelling when I do so we can resolve this”, then use !ungag [PLAYER] to both of them. I would then speak to them one at a time asking what happened to be able to resolve the issue. I would then remind the officers they are senior members within the server and are to set an example for newer players on the server and to act accordingly so in the future if they have a disagreement best take it to a private chat and use a neutral party to moderate the disagreement.  A Cadet has been complaining and wandering around because he hasn't been trained yet. He doesn't appear to have any intent to role play. What do you do? First action I would take is use !respawn [PLAYER] so the cadet gets respawned inside the cadet room I would then use !goto [PLAYER] as this will bring me to the cadet. I would then attempt to train the cadet using the correct training procedure, If the cadet still refused to be trained I would use !kick [PLAYER] | NITRP | Marcelous. If the cadet returns I would then attempt to train them again and if they still refuse I would then inform them they are going to be receiving a 1 day ban for NITRP and to return when they want to RP. For banning then I would use the command !steamid [PLAYER] to get their steam ID and then use !ban [STEAMID] 1d | NITRP | Marcelous You notice a staff member abusing their permissions within the server. What do you do? I would immediately go into administrate using !administrate ^ and start recording using medal to gather evidence so management will be able to use the information to act accordingly. I would also inform the Head Admin and if he isn't available contact the Server Manager, I would then talk to the staff member directly to inform them they are abusing their power to hopefully stop them. I would also record this interaction as it may be useful for server management     You get a report about a player abusing their tools and prop killing. What do you do? After receiving the report of tool abuse I would use !sitbring [PLAYER] that is reportedly prop killing, I would ask them why they are abusing their tools and inform them that they can potentially receive a ban as using their prob to kill is still RDMing. I would then use !steamid [PLAYER] then proceed to check logs by using !logs and search for any kills by the player. I would also use !warns to check the players warn history, I would then use !warn [STEAMID] Tool Abuse & RDM (Tool Banned) | Marcelous. I would then inform the CO & XO of their regiment to inform them of what transpired and they can make the necessary decision within the regiment.

Hello Zero, The application is quite a strong application. I would ask for a little more clarification on small things in the application as it does get right to the point BUT the answers (in my opinion) are what we are looking for as a moderator. Good work! +1 Formerly: PT-A/C 'Hades' (CO of Purge Battalion) Currently: TK-3510 'Sinker' (Stormtrooper)

APPEAL ACCEPTED I believe you made a quick stupid decision that you actually regret, just know that we won't tolerate that sort of behaviour at all and next time if it happens there will be a much harsher punishment. Welcome back to the server.

Hey Zero,  Having had the privilege of not only conversing with you but also leading you during our time in the same regiment, I’ve seen firsthand the qualities you bring to the table—dedication, a strong sense of responsibility, and an ability to handle situations with fairness and professionalism. Reading through your responses to the application questions, it’s clear that you have a solid understanding of the responsibilities at hand and the challenges that come with them. Your answers demonstrate not only a mature perspective but also a well-thought-out approach to maintaining balance and harmony within the community. This level of insight further reinforces my belief that you would make an excellent addition to the moderation team. Your ability to connect with others and your understanding of what it takes to maintain a positive and thriving community make me confident that you would make an amazing moderator. I truly believe you have what it takes to excel in this role and make a meaningful impact. Best of luck with your application! +1 from me !

Player Information: Current In-Game Alias: TK-4231 Leonidas Previous Notable In-Game Ranks and Aliases: PTE ,LCPL, CPL, SGT, SSGT,  Dogma  Steam Profile Link: (yet to be added) Age: 20 Time Played (Gmod *and* Gateway Imperial RP): 590Hrs on Gmod - 5/6years back and forth on Gateway servers  Do you have a mic and do you intend to use it?: I do have a mic and intend to use it.    Basic Questions: How have recent events inspired you to apply for EM?: I have always wanted to be an EM for a few years - I find joy in making people have fun throughout events and think it would be a good idea  Name 3 tools that are at an Event Masters disposal and describe their usefulness when running or creating an event:  tool gun - it assists with changing models, stats and building. physics gun - it allows for better control of the environment around the event etc. Creative personality - a key to being a good EM is having a creative personality and mindset to keep scenes interesting and people engaged. Are you aware of the limits of the server and that Gmod is often an old, unstable and laggy game?: Yes  Do you have any notable EC experience? If accepted as an EM traine etc… this would be my first proper experience - in the past I have played civillian roles etc. On a scale of 1-10, how much lore knowledge do you have? 5-7 On a scale of 1-10, how familiar are you with ULX/Sam commands? 1-4 Are you aware that events can be unpredictable and often require heavy improvisation? Yes, a lot.   Event Questions: A hacker joins during your event and fires a Davy Crockett, killing everyone and unfreezing all props. What do you do? - go to an isolated area on map and teleport the hacker. Clear all props to the best of my abilities before going and banning the hacker. A user is repeatedly bad mouthing your event while you are trying to run it. How do you react? - Discourage such behaviour by reminding the player of staff disrespect rule / warning x3 if it fails kick the play for however long is needed. You have to go AFK in the middle of an event and there is no staff to assist. What should you have done to avoid this? - ensure that there is atleast a backup staff member in case of such actions.   Your event is lagging and players are starting to complain. How do you resolve this? - Do your best at troubleshooting the problem by removing any unnecessary props/objects etc if it is the map itself perhaps change to a more better one.   Event Document: In order to answer the next set of questions you are to provide a detailed example of an event. It is highly recommended to create this event within a Google Document, however you may use this post if you wish. The event must include the following details: Map name  Detailed objectives and the main goal of the players for the event Script of the briefing and debriefing Outline the progression of the event (placement of objectives and general flow of where players go throughout events.)  What would you do during this event to minimize lag? (Going off of memory of how the map below use to be like) - Rp_stardestroyer infinite  - The goal of the event is to quarantine and prevent the spread of an unknown biological pathogen which has recently gotten onboard after returning from a mission on Geonosis - it had originated in the VIP hanger causing half of the ship to go into complete lockdown - anyone known to be in the quarantine zone is not to pass the set up barricades done by troopers outside of the area.    - Briefing: It has come to commands attention that an unknown disease has made it onto this ship without our approval. Hence we are setting up barricades in (location) any trooper inside this zone is to isolate immediately and do not approach each other. Those of you outside the boundary are to set up barricades and under any circumstances let anyone past without commands clearance. Debriefing: We have successfully barred the pathogens advances throughout the ship, for any of you who begin to feel unwell report directly to medical.  Regular duties may commence from this point onwards. (The promotions etc all that)   - As the boundary of the specific area is put in place those stuck inside the border will progressively get worse and form into a zombie like character and try to rush the barricades set up by the troopers outside the boundary who are defending if they fail the troopers would start being pushed back towards the bridge where a final stand would be made and where all high priority assets are. OR depending on how EM is feeling the barricades and isolating eventually works and troopers inside the boundary area treated one by one by heavily protected medical experts in med bay etc. - Calculate the amount of props that will be used and people allowed in certain areas ‘isolating’
