+Support Certified Metagame moment, how fun is that.

+Support I haven't known Cyclone for too long as it's been but each time I've talked to him he's largely a respectable and intelligent person to talk to, he knows his stuff and has been very helpful during staffing and off staffing with CI. He tends to be very knowledgeable and dependent in his opinion.

+/- Support Leaning towards - First off this isn't a staff report unless cosmic was using their powers to find 682 and metagame them for MTF Second if this was a regular player report then yes, this is simply a case of metagame, it doesn't matter how tedious or annoying the SCP is being, if they're on surface and not caught it doesn't really give people the excuse to call them out in OOC. Cosmic's a good person and a good staff member, but this is a clear case of metagame. If Cosmic wanted to help then he should do it in character. Is it annoying to have to hunt SCP's on surface who are hiding? Yes. Does it make it okay to metagame? No not really. [EDIT:] However in the end (with some context that I recently got) I don't believe Cosmic really meant any ill intention and was just trying to clean up or make the server more enjoyable as it seemed it was a mess and really the 682 was just baiting for a Nuke. It really wasn't that bad, he chose this instead of just deleting Rp from the server with a nuke.

Wowza

+Support Lotta experience, great app. From the time I joined SCP-Rp and the time I've known cardigan, pretty sure he took my first sit when I joined. He knows what he's doing, never had any problems with him and he's consistently active on the server seeking to help others

+Support Alone aside from the application being breath taking, every single interaction on and off staff with Goat has always been positive, he's always looking to help, his advice is great, he has fantastic experience in GL including all servers.

+Support J0lt is a great friggin' staff member, seen him on constantly and always looking to help trial mods and anyone he see's, good person to talk to if you need help and overall a great staff member

Not really a big deal as is, no reason to change it at all

+Support Still stands from before, great staff and dedicated to the server. Bad at asking for permission to do things though From my experience with Pure despite all the '0_0's and Gifs that shall not be mentioned he's always wanted to help and assist in the server in most of the ways he can. I've seen pure as a admin since I've basically been on the server back when I first joined and has helped me and others countless times and has clearly put good effort into this application

-Support Despite not reaching the 150+ words for reason why you deserve trial mod this application feels really low effort in general, rarely seen you on the server as it was

What is your in-game name?: Kiwi What is your steam name?: [GL] Kiwi What is your steam ID?: STEAM_0:0:98059290 What is your discord username: Kiwi#8877 Do you have any other experience with staffing?: Yes. I've been Super Admin on two HL2Rp servers and various staff positions on HL2Rp servers in general, moderation and Event team was handled through administration so I have experience in a little bit of events and such as well as general staffing. What date did you start playing on the community?: April 2 2022 What date did you make your forums account?: May 1 How many warnings do you have on all GL servers?: 1 What is your donor rank?: Platinum Are you a staff member in another community?: No Have you read the staff handbook?: Yes Timezone: EST What rank are you applying for?: Senior Admin Why do you believe that you deserve the rank?: To start off with I have a lengthy ammount of time staffing in general on Garry's mod, from roughly back in 2014-2015 around when HL2Rp and Combine Control were popular, so I have a load of experience under my belt in GMod Rp staffing. In the time I've spent in SCP-RP I've gained a lot of experience and knowledge on how staffing works in this server, from various scenarios, questions, concerns I believe I'm a smart, collected, mature and trustworthy person and I feel as if my peers could attest to that. Despite my low ammount of time on the server and in Gaming light I feel as if I'm one of the most experienced people for the position due to the ammount of time I've played, I've always strived for staff as I quite enjoy helping out with the server and always am looking to assist wherever I can, the higher the rank the more I can do in that exact duty. (Ik it's just staff on Gmod but GL is life) I'll be joining the Air force in due time around September 20th so I will be gone to basic for around 2-3 months but I really intend on coming back and continuing to be apart of staff on Gaming light as it's probably one of my favorite places to be and be apart of and wanna continue being apart of staff. I feel as if I can do much more on GL if I'm in a Senior admin position in doing various things in assisting on the Server and such. Scenario questions: Q1: 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?: Usually RDM sits go pretty simply as logs tell the tale of what happened and it ends up being to a staffs discretion on how they acted in the sit to see what problems they have and to issue a proper punishment. If someone ends up just cursing at you gagging the person usually is the best way to solve it as it prevents them from continuing to make the sit unproductive and waste time, also keeping them from throwing and diss towards the other player and you involved in the sit, after letting them know that they need to calm down and to relax as it's simply not that serious or needed to be agitated and rude towards anyone, afterword's trying to handle the sit as properly and normally and then after issuing whichever punishment seems fit I would ungag them to see how they're acting and if they continue to be a nuisance deal with them accordingly by keeping them gagged for a reasonable ammount of time to give them the chance to relax and understand that being toxic is just going to cause more problems. Q2: You are involved in a staff sit that involves 5 different players. The players begin to get frustrated and the sit becomes very toxic and unproductive. What would you do in this situation?: Generally speaking a large sit like this it's always welcome to bring in another staff member that's available to properly and without wasting time/escalating the sit and handling whatever way the sit seems fit. Usually if people become very toxic handling it in the best way is separating them from one another as it's much easier to deal with one on one rather than deal with unproductive arguing as it just creates more issues within the sit and muds up the process in handling the sit. After getting the sides of each of the players simply remind them to keep it chill and if there are any problems with the punishment dealt out to head to the forums and handle it there as arguing in the sit is only going to arise tension and issues with one another. Q3: In your opinion, what is the best way to handle a situation involving a player that clearly does not care about the punishments they are receiving?: Best way to handle someone who lacks any care about the punishment is to simply let them go afterword's, issuing another punishment or seeming vindictive about how they feel about their punishment isn't gonna lead anywhere, and if they continue to be an issue just simply go forward with another punishment as needed. Players receiving a punishment can react in whichever way they feel is needed and if they really need to reminding them the forums exists for certain issues with staff members or how the sit was handled is the best way to go about things as arguing the semantics of the situation with no real outcome isn't going to bring anything positive to the situation or fixing it in general. Q4: There is a player abusing a known bug, and he has been reported to staff. He swears he followed the server rules when you talk with him. What's the best way to handle this?: People can plea and lie through their teeth very simply. Staff exist for this reason as the rules are never going to be stated exactly for each and every scenario. If it comes down to it, the player had abused a known bug and should be punished for it properly, if they really feel a punishment they receive is unjust in anyway they can be told to head to the forums and fill out an appeal as it would be the best way to get other opinions and such from other players. If in the end it seems the player is simply trying to find a loophole in the system, I'd use my discretion on how they acted in the sit and give them an according punishment to the bug they abused and how much it was abused. If they seem like they were very genuine about the situation or if the bug wasn't obvious to the player I'd probably give them a verbal and remind them to try and read the MOTD and known bugs to avoid doing the same thing in the future. [I know I haven't been around as a lot of people in this server but I appreciate you reading and considering what I've put down n hope for your support, in the end I appreciate any and all criticisms and concerns on me.]

Well at least you apologized for it Good on ya

+Support Gives people some small activities to do on the server, as long as it doesn't effect performance

+Support Weird that something like a tool is right in the way of the weapons bar, should be with the cameras/utilities

Changing/altering the hud wasn't a bad Idea, just the color scheme is odd for SCP rp IMO, little bug fixes and giving users the ability to control their hud is also a great idea, give em a few days to fix and clean it up a bit -Support

+Support Doesn't need 2 warns for the same exact thing.

+Support Amazing Idea, gives Research much more of an incentive to research on other SCPS outside of LCZ, should definitely give guards more XP as well depending on the SCP tested as the guard needs to be able to protect the researcher and the higher the risk the higher the reward.

-Support I mean it's an ambitious idea but seems super awkward to actually implement into the game, I would focus the resources to maybe reworking -A into a bit more of a fixed NPC that can't harm 1048 and fix his swep a bit.

+Support Both 8286 and 2191 should be hard coded to avoid accidents from happening to begin with

-Support I mean with all the people there giving their side it seems he really was trying to just jumpstart a bit of activity and give the server some fun time on lower pop hours, plus he's really never on and wasn't directly hindering anyone, it was mainly a lil event he did, no harm really done aside from 2 dead D-Class who had weapons out to begin with. Only thing I see wrong is that he's retired staff, ex SMT but I'm not 100% clear on the rules on being retired staff and using your powers so I wouldn't say he's really 'abusing'

+Support + Crazy amounts of activity + Excellent application + Good experience for T-Mod + Overall fit for staff

+/- Support towards + It looks pretty obvious each shot is hit without miss even when cloaked but kinda hard to tell, seems like a toggle from my experience on other games with hackers. Also he dropped down the hill while cloaked and somehow he shot exactly where Jrshafer was? That's the most telling sign for me.

+Support At least 500 would make it difficult to kill as it is a keter class SCP so it should be hard to kill

Shee you later shtinky!!! o7
