  1. In-Game Name: Aaron Faustin Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:11936125 ULX Rank (Donator Rank/Staff Rank): Platinum / Senior Admin How many hours do you have on the server?: 44 weeks. What is your general knowledge on the rules?: I have a good understanding of all server rules. How many warns do you have? (No more than 15): 2. Why do you want to join event team? (150 words+): Joining the event team is something I am genuinely enthusiastic about. I've recently seen some recent events being made by the Event Team/JMT and it sort of lit a spark in me. I've just been randomly thinking of some events that could be done that could be refreshing and rewarding to players. I have lot's of different types of experience in this community from my different staff positions, to my family/department positions, as well as my prior event team position. With all this I believe I have the experience, activity and professionalism to be trusted with holding events. I'm excited about the idea of rejoining the team and I'm truly committed to increasing player activity as well as retention through fun and exciting events. I want to work on coming up with a range of different events for the server. I've always enjoyed working on improving the players experience here. I'm constantly looking for new ways I can make a difference here. I hope this can be another role where I can make the server a little more enjoyable for everyone to enjoy. Describe an event you could create (Be specific): (LARGE EVENT) -MANHUNT EVENT- *Server-Wide Announcement* "Attention all units and citizens, this is an urgent public safety announcement. A very high risk prisoner has just escaped from the DOC. He is one of the most wanted men in america and must be brought back into custody. This individual is dangerous and is believed to be gathering a criminal army. An APB is issued for his capture. (Announce his description here based on whatever playermodel you use for him). Stay vigilant, and Stay Safe!" Once the first location is found, gov start to fight his army who is defending him while he is in the back. After a few minutes of fighting the army starts to dwindle down in numbers but this is when the wanted individual makes his getaway in a vehicle, falling back to one of his outposts with more criminals. This happens a few times until he finally falls back to his main base of operations where after a massive battle his army is completely wiped out and he is taken back into custody. The event ends after he is finally escorted back to DOC by gov. Commissioner Miniepic thanks the community for all their hard work and gives them all a reward. (SMALL EVENT) -Sniper Only FFA- This event would take place in suburbs where I would have a dupe of defenses all over suburbs and ramps leading over fences, onto roofs, etc (essentially make the area more interesting) The players would each start in their own house and would all be using the same weapon as each other. Last one alive gets the cash prize. If accepted, what time(s) are you available to hold events? (Must be in EST timezone) Monday - Friday: Anytime between around 3pm and 9pm. Saturday and Sunday: Anytime between around 3pm and 9pm. Have you read the Event Team Guidelines? Yes.
  2. It's not kind to commit murder.
  3. What you want to see? - Make jailing a player disallow them from spawning any props or entities. Why should we add it? - Prevents jailed players from attempting to cause issues while jailed. What are the advantages of having this? - Occasionally a jailed player will try and do something dumb. This will prevent them from being able to do anything that could cause harm to the server or interfere with someone's roleplay. Who is it mainly for? - Staff Links to any content - N/A
  4. Jay, You have been a very Loyal and Passionate member of SL. We hope to see you return soon brother. 07
  5. -Support. There is a lot that could be said here but I'm just going to say 100% of this would have been avoided if you had made a report for ARDM instead of taking it into your own hands. Anyway, Both warn reasons are valid, especially the Staff disrespect. If you had explained yourself instead of shouting and being disrespectful you may have been let off with a verbal on shooting the wrong guy.
  6. What you want to see? - I want to see small safes placed inside of the General stores as well as inside the bank. You would lockpick the safe, once its completed the safe will now appear open and you are automatically rewarded with the loot. The safe loot will roll on a drop table that contains different amounts of money, different ores, etc Why should we add it? - I've been thinking for a while now for a new crime method that could be available to players without needing a high amount of gov on. I'm thinking that this is a good solution. It's a method of criminal activity that is inherently more of a grind that usually you don't get a lot of loot but could have that rare chance for lets say a Dark Matter ore or a large cash drop, etc as opposed to robbery's that are short events that necessitate more gov on to be fair. What are the advantages of having this? - A criminal activity that can be done without a high gov requirement. Who is it mainly for? - Criminals Links to any content - Making it custom will be best for something like this. EDIT: Also, once the safe is opened it will have a server wide cooldown before it closes and becomes able to be lockpicked again.
  7. What you want to see? - Make the new jump cooldown far less severe. Why should we add it? - In my opinion the cooldown should be very very short to only disallow constant jump spamming during combat. I don't believe there is any need to wait this extended period of time to allow the next jump. What are the advantages of having this? - People jump all the time. In a game like this it's a normal part of transportation. It only becomes an issue during combat so I think we need to be careful in deciding how far we limit this. Who is it mainly for? - Everyone Links to any content - N/A
  8. +Support for what Noah said. Remove NLR during Raids for either side. (Only for inside the raid building/past its KOS sign)
  9. Welcome back Spade!
  10. +Support Likely caused by a surge in data traffic while connecting.
  11. @TakotheChiefMedicCan you include the time for each for each seed? I'm intrigued now. I want all the data. Also, Did you use the total time it took you from start to finish for each seed? Because that would involve your speed as well. Which would vary slightly even if you were careful to be super quick each time.
  12. What is your in-game name?: Aaron Faustin What is your steam name?: [GL] Aaron Faustin What is your steam ID?: STEAM_0:0:11936125 Do you have any other experience with staffing?: (If yes, explain) Yes, I have been staff on countless servers as well as on different gamemodes entirely. In and outside of the GL community. Most notably would be reaching the rank of Manager on a prominent MRP server back in the day. (I won't mention the name unless asked by SMT.) What date did you start playing on the community? (roughly) Late 2017. What date did you make your forums account? January 2nd, 2018. Current rank on server (This is a ULX rank ONLY! Not a RP Rank)? Platinum. How many warns do you have on the server (Show proof with a screenshot) 2 warns. https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/1YkUBDWwYRp8Dl/d1337luV21Tn?invite=cr-MSxRRXcsMjA3ODcxMDgxLA What rank are you applying for? Senior Administrator. Are you staff on another community (BE HONEST)? No. Have you read the staff guidelines at... ? You will be tested on it: Yes. Timezone: Central Standard Time. Permission (Senior Moderator+ need this): Nimo (Manager), Tactical (Head Admin), Leaky (Head Admin), MiniEpic (Super Admin), Matilda (Super Admin), Russtime (Super Admin) Why do you believe that you deserve the rank? (150 Word Minimum) I believe I have earned a promotion to Senior Admin by consistently demonstrating that I am a trusted and valuable member of the staff team who can be relied upon to meet or exceed the expectations and responsibilities of this Senior Admin role. I want to show a few aspects in which I have demonstrated this. Firstly, my activity. I am extremely active In-Game, on Discord, on TeamSpeak, and on the Forums. Not just in my duties as a staff member but also just as a dedicated member of this community. Secondly, The experience I have gained through my current positions. (both in and out of RP) I've worked hard to achieve my roles as an Admin, Support member, Forum Diplomat, and owner of an official family. Within these various roles I believe I've consistently demonstrated sound judgement and professionalism. My main priorities are to assist in fostering a safe and friendly environment for all players to enjoy. I look at every situation individually, they are all unique. It is my personal belief that as staff we are more than just someone who upholds the rules. We also need to be looking at the bigger picture. This is why we have discretion when handing out a punishment. I believe I have good judgement and can properly handle the responsibilities and expectations that come with the rank of Senior Admin and believe that I have shown this thus far in my time in my staffing capacity as well as my time in this community as a whole. How would you handle someone that is Mass RDMing and when you bring him/her to an admin sit all they do is curse at you? If they immediately start swearing at me I would give one single opportunity for them to stop their act and give me their side. If they refuse I will have to gag them. Once they are gagged I would provide a punishment based on evidence I find in logs and photo/video that the reporter may have. In this case it would likely be a warn for MassRDM and Staff Diss as well as a 5day ban for the same reason. These questions are only for people applying for Admin/Senior Admin/Super Admin: -What would you do if you think a player is an alt account? First, I would gather as much evidence as possible. I would not say anything that would let this person know of my suspicions as I would want them to continue to potentially incriminate themselves to be sure we have the evidence needed. Once I have a decent amount of evidence I would take this to SMT as I believe they would have to make the decision on if there is enough evidence and to take further steps. I would still follow SMT Chain of Command by going to a Head Admin first. -What would you do if a player is threating to chargeback? Ultimately, this would need to be taken to Zeeptin as he is obviously in charge of everything financially as well as handling disputes and things of that nature. However, with that being said I would still take this to SMT (Head Admin) and have them take this personally to Zeeptin as to ensure all information/evidence is gathered prior to Zeeptin being notified so he has what he needs and can take appropriate action. -A family is mass minging and causing issues, how would you stop the family from minging? If this is something that just now started I would go to the family (Hopefully I could do this in a group setting at their base or something) and I would give a stern talking to and lay down the facts that Hey, If this doesn't stop, there will be consequences. This would be a verbal warning to the entire family that any further misconduct will result in warns/jails being handed out to the players. I would likely follow up with the family Owner, give them some of the facts and essentially tell them that this needs to cease immediately. Any further misconduct would result in warns/jails being handed out on an individual basis. If family leadership are the ones intentionally creating this sort of environment and condoning this behavior, I would start to consider going up Chain of Command to see if a more permanent solution needs to be made such as disbanding the family. -How would you deal with a situation you don't know what to/don't know the answer to? (Don't answer with "I know everything!") If it's a situation where I'm just not 100% sure on what the appropriate action would be I would ask for another staff to come here out the situation and give a 2nd opinion. Honestly, even if this person is of a lower rank it can still be very helpful to just hear another perspective and get insight from someone who may see something that you didn't. If this was something more in the realm of me not being sure on a rule interpretation or something along those lines, I would ask a member of JMT. It's always better to ask a question than to guess and make a wrong decision. Sometimes you don't know until you know and that just happens once in a while. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for your consideration.
  13. What you want to see? - The chat box updated to be a bit more comprehensive. 1. I would like to see the ability to left click and drag to select text. Currently you have to select the line of text in it's entirety, including the persons name and then delete what you don't need. 2. Currently, If you are scrolling up in chat and a new line of text is submitted at the bottom, It will automatically pull you back down. I would like this disabled. Why should we add it? - These are just a couple things I noticed could be improved with the chat. What are the advantages of having this? - Small QOL update for users. Who is it mainly for? - Everyone Links to any content - N/A
  14. Bittersweet. I'm not even in swat, but I've seen you be a mentor to players and work to mold them into a better version of themself. Congratulations on achieving HC, Ducky. You've put in a lot of work to get to where you are today. You deserve it.
  15. Can you explain this like you're talking to a child?
  16. -Support - I'm not a fan of your reason for why you deserve the rank. You say you're now going to play the server more especially if you get accepted. You need to do this PRIOR to applying. - The MassRDM answer seems incomplete. - You necroposted a ton of forums post directly prior to applying, Likely in the hopes of making your account/application look better.
  17. Hello Shell. I'm doing well. How are you?
  18. What you want to see? - An Achievement menu get added. Why should we add it? - Gives players more to grind for. Fun to try and go for all achievements. What are the advantages of having this? - First there can be easy achievements mainly designed to reward new players for experiencing different experiences our server has to offer and can also be used to promote different activities. (Join a clan, Capture a point, Win your first robbery, Make 1,000,000$, Successfully defend the stash, place a hit on someone, etc) Gradually achievements become harder and harder and endgame achievements will mostly consist of doing different tasks for a long time. Endgame achievements would be like Become a billionaire, Complete 100 hits, Kill 1,000 opponents while defending stash, Successfully rob bank 50 times, Purchase every vehicle, etc. The harder the achievement the greater the reward, and from the sounds of it you can do custom rewards so theyre not all cash. You could do crate keys, melee weapons, sweps, too. Who is it mainly for? - Everyone Links to any content - https://www.gmodstore.com/market/view/achievements-best-way-to-entertain-your-players
  19. -Support Reasons above. Pretty straightforward. Dont prop/entity abuse.
  20. I will not give any + or - Support, as I just want to stick to my side of the story and defend the actions I took. THE SIT: Firstly I brought Anubis (reporter) to a roof to explain what happened. and get some basic information. Anubis told me that he had stolen Vice's car and was driving when he got shot at by Vice when none of the code red rules were met. I quickly verified that an advert had been made for the carjacking and now that we had the claim, I brought up Vice to the roof. I told Vice what was alleged and asked him his side. Vice at the time, sounded annoyed about something and mentioning he wanted to report Anubis and started talking about a separate event that took place. I quickly stopped that discussion and told them that I want to focus on this report first and then we can handle that. My #1 reason for this is I didn't want information that had to do with another report while this was ongoing as not to cause me any confusion or get facts mixed up. At this time I was only looking for information relevant to the allegation of not following code red rules. 1 of 3 scenarios must be true in order for code red to be called on a vehicle. I knew it was a government vehicle so I knew it being a Cybertruck/bus/semi didn't apply here. I asked Vice if he had shot at anyone or had been in a pursuit for 10+ minutes. Vice said No to both of those. These are the main reasons I chose a formal warning instead of a verbal warning, jail, or some combination of punishments. #1) Vice had admitted the code red rules were not met to allow lethal force on the vehicle. #2) Vice is a longtime player and someone who has lot's of experience in government command positions. #3) It wasn't an accidental shooting or a case of not knowing a rule. I don't like warning people but with those things being true, I feel that it would be unfair for me to not give a formal warning in this instance. If this was a new player I almost certainly would have just given a verbal but when it's about someone with this level of experience it makes it really hard for me to justify lessening the punishment. I generally reserve verbal warnings to new players, players who may not have known of the rule, or rule infractions made by accident (a misclick or something). I strive to be completely unbiased when handling a sit. I believe I stuck to the facts relevant to the report and gave the appropriate punishment. I'm not going to mention anything about the Anubis report as I don't feel it's relevant to this appeal but in a jist (in a seperate incident) he RDM'ed Vice and got warned for it. I wish a report had been made here immediately and not something only brought up during Anubis's report. Lastly, I do just want to mention that almost none of the mitigating factors in this appeal were brought to my attention in the sit. When Vice was asked about his side, pretty much the only thing he said was about the RDM incident that got dealt with after. When asked, he did not claim to have any justifiable reason to code red/shoot the vehicle. I was not told that anyone was copbaiting in the car or ramming anyone. If this was mentioned I would have looked for evidence/asked for video and added copbaiting to his warn. I was not informed that Mr.Feast RDM'ed anyone. If this was mentioned I would have warned him the same as I did with Anubis. And now I can no longer verify if either of these things are true. Unless someone has video but I don't think so.
  21. What you want to see? - I would like to see the Sniper Glare get an update to be more optimized, easy to use, more aesthetic, etc. Make the glare scale depending on the distance you are from the glare. Make the glare a more realistic shape than a white circle that covers the face. See below for ideas. Make the glare originate from the scope not the players head (if possible) Why should we add it? - Quality of Life update. Makes the glare better and more aesthetically pleasing to use. What are the advantages of having this? - Same as above. Who is it mainly for? - Everyone Links to any content - N/A Here are some ideas for more realistic glare shapes that could come out of the snipers scope. But i would still keep the color as white and fairly bright at the center of the shape so it's not difficult to tell when you're being scoped in at.
  22. -Support There are too many issues with this. What if they don't own property? Is it really a punishment if they are in their own base and can just farm some money before going back out to commit crime in a few minutes? You didn't put any links to content, meaning you want this custom made. This sounds like an absolute nightmare to try and code.
