  1. Take care man and I hope you have a good time visiting your father!
  2. Huge thankyou to Nandy! Because of him I was able to receive my Pengu Swep which I love so much!! ?
  3. -Support -Did not follow proper format with adding a poll - Forum account inactive -Never Seen You (Could be Because Your New since July 20th) - Q15 needs some work and expanding - Somewhat sloppy application I think you sound like you could be a good staff but you need to get more known, become more active on the forums and clean up your application alot. Put your best foot forward.
  4. - / + Support If there was an option to play poker or slots that would be really fun to. But honestly, as stated above there is not much to spend your money on atm. If the risks were high enough where it was not super easy to go in there and make a lot of money this should definitely be added.
  5. Personally I would not buy it. These are some comparisons to whats in the computer to whats in my rig and its 5 years old. I spent $1300.00 CAD on mine (Yours would be about $900.00 CAD once converted) CPU My I5-4670k Far out preforms the AMD APU A8-7600 Quad-Core that is listed in the add. Also note how the seller adds the fancy words like "Super fast". Personally I hate when sellers do this because they are trying to up sell and trick buyers who do not know much about computers. CPU Comparison GPU My GTX 970 is far superior compared to the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics chip that is listed in the add and I myself even run into some FPS and performance issues on the server from time to time. GPU Comparison RAM The ram listed (16GB) is a good amount for games like Garrys mod and other RAM/CPU intensive games. HOWEVER it does not list a brand which is the issue. I have gone with no name RAMS or rams that are not one of the most popular ones and I have had a couple crap out on me. I currently have G Skill Ripjaws V Series (2x8GB = 16GB) of ram and have not ran into any issues at all. MOBO (Motherboard) Can't really find any information on your motherboard so it's hard to compare it to mine (Asus Maximum VI HERO) but normally the reliable ones are built by Gigabyte (Which I think the one in the add has), ASUS or other big name competitors. PC Part Picker.com I would highly suggest using this website to build your own PC to get an estimate on parts and then head to your local computer shop and get them help you pick out the parts you have selected. Also most places will probably charge $100 for them to build it for you so if anything goes wrong it's on them and they will replace whatever needs to be replaced. The best part about building your own computer you future proof it so to speak. You know how to add/remove things and you know you will have room to add stuff in the future when the next generation of games come out that are much more demanding. Instead of replacing an entire system you can simply upgrade to the next best GPU or CPU. Once you have done it once it is extremely easy to do it again. Let me know if you need help building a computer or anything like that! I can help you build one and pick the parts for you within your budget and walk you through the building process.
  6. Although I do not know you, your apology sounded very sincere and life happens. Everyone deals with a lot of shit in their life and it's good on you for realizing your mistakes and taking a step back to cool down. Welcome back to Gaminglight hope to see you in game soon!
  7. Been told multiple times that my Mic is crackling, to quiet, shitty quality so I am going out today after work to buy a new one!! Currently am using my old Turtle beaches from my Xbox360 MW2 days. I need the communities help in finding a good stand alone mic as I have always just used headphones but they are becoming a pain when I game all day. Few ones that I have looked at is; - Blue Microphone Snowball - Blue Microphone Yeti These seem to be pretty popular. If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions please let me know!
  8. Reasonable grounds - "A set of facts or circumstances that would cause an ordinary, cautious or prudent person to have a strong belief that goes beyond mere suspicion" As for being searched without Reasonable grounds in Canada if you are in an area that your residence is nowhere near at 3am and you do not have a good alibi they can legally detain and search you. If they search you and find equipment that is considered "break and enter" tools then you can be charged with that as well even if they didn't FIND you committing the crime. Law is only fun when its regarding the Police, other law is just boring af lol
  9. This just means we need to host something like this again soon and make it bigger and better than the last time!
  10. I am Canadian, we have Human rights also and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While I get this is a USA RP server it would be confusing for me lol
  11. - HUGE SUPPORT Bruh, I wouldn't even be able to eat that
  12. Your In-game: Friendly Steve Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:23939222 The player's name in-game: Jeffrey Patterson (Didn't have proper FBI name) The player's steam name (If you know it): N/A What did the player do: Started to raid base on the claim of having reports of money printers. We informed him that this was not how RP was carried out and that there needs to be physical proof (Video/Picture). Continued to say that he received calls about this base that there were printers and they were going to search. During the video towards the end Jeffrey climbs up on to a ramp and begins firing upon Bit miners. We continuously tell him to stop which he does not listen so I kill him for the sake of my Family keeping their money that was inside of the miner. We told him multiple times we are calling staff to get this verified as he could not provide ANY solid evidence to his claims of printers being in the base (besides them actually seeing them once they broke in). Evidence (REQUIRED): What do you believe should happen to the player: Either needs to be totally removed from FBI for lack of professionalism and breaking RP rules or needs to be completely retrained and observed during his time on as FBI. Definitely creates a very shitty RP experience and this is the worst I have seen.
  13. Should try to Raid the K family some time ?
  14. I mean for me personally anything we can lose that causes lag and that we don't need would be the best. I don't think adding in stuff that might cause lag is the best idea. But I guess it is worth a shot as it's a cool idea! + Support
  15. What is your in-game name?: Friendly Steve What is your steam name?: Friendly Steve What is your steam ID?: 76561198008144172 Do you have any other experience with staffing?: (If yes, explain) Yes! I had been staff on a DARKRP server (Super Admin) many years ago as well as successfully ran an Arma 2 DayZ Epoch and Overpoch server for 4 years before Bohemia decided to shut down servers who were selling donor packages (Loot crates etc). Which inevitably made running the servers cost to much. At one point we were rank #1 Dayz Epoch server and hovered around there (it was called motoclangaming) What date did you start playing on the community? (roughly) Approximately July 5th What date did you make your forums account? Wednesday July 11th Since my last application I have really attempted to up my involvement in the community on the forums. I try to get on the forums once per day to see what is new. I have learned to realize the importance of community involvement as well as gaining trust of the community that might trust me in a position of power. Current rank on server (This is a ULX rank ONLY! Not a RP Rank)? VIP+ How many warns do you have on the server? 0 Have you donated? Yes I have purchased 60 credits (60 USD) What rank are you applying for? Trial moderator and if I get accepted and turn out to be a good fit I would love to climb the ranks to help out more and to teach and mentor other staff! Have you read the staff guidelines at http://gaminglight.com/main/topic/20650-staff-handbook/? You will be tested on it: Yes I have! Timezone: - EST (Canadian) Permission (Admin+ need this): - N/A Why do you believe that you deserve the rank? (150 Word Minimum): Ever since being denied the first time it has really taught me what I needed to work on. I have tried to up my activity throughout the day so that more players get to know me and see me. I have also tried to up my activity on the forum as well. I guess what I am trying to say is I am willing to learn and also learn from my mistakes. I strongly believe I deserve this rank because I can be one of many faces of gaminglight that make players continuously come back. I love being able to help people and I have spent a lot of time already just trying to help players with the game itself (Garry mod issues) or even other things related (such as getting Teamspeak installed when it was not working for a player). Helping people is what I like to do as helping people is what I do for volunteering as well as work (Volunteer with youth addictions, at risk youth, women who had been through sexual assaults and currently work as a Security Supervisor). I have been a gamer for more or less since I could pick up a controller/mouse/keyboard. I love making experiences for others rewarding and also teachable. Being that I have ran a server and suffered through some slumps due to people losing interest in a certain game mode I would not be one to quit easily and I can always be counted on. I am currently in the process for applying to a regional service (Getting my ATS) and the thought of playing on a Police RP server really intrigued me. Ever since joining the staff have been nothing but helpful/fair and honest and it is something I would want to model myself towards so other players may share the same experience as I. I am aware of the rules that are given regarding the server and I can say I will not break any of the server rules and will show the utmost professionalism as a staff member. I am not a hot headed guy and I am able to effectively defuse situations, I also know how frustrating some situations may be for players so I would be able to keep calm and try to help them through it. I often try to find the best in the worse situation and that has helped me through many hurdles in my life. I have been called very optimistic and a fun person to be around because I love having fun and also creating friendships and long lasting memories. I really hope I am given the chance to become a staff member this time around, I would absolutely love the opportunity to show you guys what I can offer and become apart of the community even more. Thank you all so much for taking your time to view and vote on my application, despite what happens I will see you all in game! 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? I would first let him know I am bringing him to a sit due to complaints against him for RDMing. I would attempt to explain the rules to him (I would also look at his play time as with a certain amount of time on the server a player should be expected to know the basic rules of an RP server even though it is stated in the motd!). If the individual continued to curse at me I would mute him so I could continue speaking with him and explain the rules of the server and why he shouldn’t be doing that. I would tell the individual that I am just trying to investigate what happened and I would appreciate the same level of respect that I am going to be giving him. If I did not actually see the individual RDM I would look into the plogs to see who he damaged/killed and in what time frame he did it. I would then give him an opportunity to speak afterwards and if he were to continue to be disrespectful I would then follow procedure (could be a warning for staff disrespect + RDMing) or a ban. Of course I do acknowledge that not everyone is aware of the rules despite their playtime so If the person appeared to be sincere enough and it seemed to have been an honest mistake I would simply just inform the individual that this is a verbal warning and next time there will be an actual warn now that he's been informed of the server rules.
  16. What you want to see? - Vehicles having a Fuel gauge Why should we add it? - Would add more RP. Chases might not go on forever, players would have to use the gas station more, most of all a good money sink so people actually can spend their money on not just guns and cars. What are the advantages of having this? - Money sink, good RP for everyone actually having to refuel. Who is it mainly for? - Entire server Links to any content - Honestly cannot find a mod how to implement this although I have never really worked with Gary's mod before but there is this youtube video of the gauge being shown at the bottom right!
