Hello everyone, as I am sure you read by the title, I am going to be stepping down from my position as Director of Research and Security and Event Team Member. I will be available as DoRS for 48 hours up until 11:59am EST May 15th. I had a whole thing planned that I was going to write out detailing why I am leaving and my story here on GL for the past year and a half but I think the short and sweet will do. Why I am resigning? I want to start off by saying that yes, like almost everyone who resigns I am burnt out of the server. However, its not the gameplay I am tired of. I could hang out with Security in D-Block or do tests with Researchers all day and it would be awesome. Rest assured that I think SCP-RP is a lot of fun with a ton of great people. However, things are not always fun when you see behind the curtain. Story Time This is my little bit to myself, if you don't want my GL story than skip to the next section for Shout outs. I joined for the first time back in early November of 2021. Instead of doing my college work as a sophomore I decided to do some trolling and join an SCP server for the first time. GL had the most players so I joined that one. Initially I was going to screw around for a couple hours and then prolly RDM a ton of people and get banned (we do a little trolling). As a D-Class I enjoyed the atmosphere and decided to try joining a branch. I had played at least 3,000 hours of Star Wars RP so I knew how to get trained. I was trained by the most based FTO, Sergeant Julias. About 15 min later Julias warned me that I can't just stand in D-Block and not kill rioting D-Class. My goal of getting promoted to LCPL for doing literally nothing had failed. Fast forward two weeks and I somehow was already command. I got to really meet a lot of the command at this point, especially my mentor Assassin. Fast forward a month and Sixx spoiled my promotion to First Lieutenant at the main meeting via TeamSpeak (bonehead move). The two most stressful weeks were now upon me as my SCMD application was up when I had only been low command for less than 2 months! To Hoovy's horror, I got SCMD. I would spend about 5 months here and saw quite a lot in that time. I worked with Sixx to create the Juggernaut Sub-branch (#Jordan love <3), I saw the rise and fall of ZJ (again), I saw the blacklisting of two waves of SCMD due to working with alt accounts and other stupid shit they should not have done (this is for Meeseeks). Then I got HCMD after PlantBruh so nicely left me spot. HCMD was the most fun I ever had on the server. Working with Sixx, Mind, Jack Crest, Jrshafer, Drizzle, Alpha, and last but not least Baby Arm has been a blast. Posting my first branch update too early because I was the only HCMD and had no clue what I was doing all the way to making the first D-Block and all iterations of it on site-50 was such a blast. I was not the best HOS, but I am very content with how I did in retrospect. Site Admin was a different beast. Being good Site Admin is very different than being good High Command. It takes a boarder perspective, you have to look at every branch. Its a lot of information to keep track of. I will say that being so involved with Research was my favorite part of joining SA. Getting to know all those amazing people and helping another branch make as much progress as I could was awesome and I can only hope that both Security and Research continue to work and fight for what they have. Shout outs What would a resignation post be without shout outs for all the people (or the ones I remember) that made my time on the server worth something. Its not about the Journey, its about the friends we make along the way. Mind: Bingus > Pingus, I'm sorry but its true. I could not have asked for a better mentor and friend for my time on this server. From when you where DHOS and I was a security OFC and I called you "Dough" like the homer simpson sound because I didn't know what "DHOS" stood for and wanted to mess with the guy with the furry pfp, to working side by side in HCMD and SA, you have been an amazing guy. Strong morals, and a genuinely nice guy, can't wait to enjoy our retirement by getting prim locked in some rust wipes. Stinky Furry Sixx: Bingus > Penis, again, sorry but its true. I remember raiding your office as a Lieutenant when you got DoRS and the pain staking process of making Juggernauts with you as SCMD. With you and Mind in SA and me leading Security, we were a force to be reckoned with. Even for a crayon eating marine with a "girlfriend" you are a really cool guy. Always very realistic and really knows how to talk to people. Can't wait to throw some rust CS matches and derank with you soldier o7. Sprink: The slinkiest little Spungis this side of the Mississippi. You have the most determination and dedication for your age that I have ever seen. Even with the times you get a little too zesty and rdm a Researcher for annoying you in D-Block, you have always been a great command member. Do me a solid and make it to HCMD this time, I know you have it in you. Jrshafer: My partner in crime, and a traitor! I can't believe that JFK and Elvis turned out to be the same 16 year old on a gmod server. Keep working hard and I'm sure youll get HCMD again in no time. Drizzle: I never thought you would be HOS but you have been doing a great job since you got it. You have come so far during your time in Security and I know you will keep improving. Don't let the flame die out! Alpha: I was hesitant to let this furry goofball back into HCMD but I'm glad I did. You have been a hard working and served Juggernauts and all of Security well. Even if you still did everything the old fashioned way Baby Arm: What a great choice for HCMD. You did amazing in Wardens and have been doing great in HCMD. Keep up the hard work and you can get wherever you want to be. Tyler: You have made is so far from so much hard work. You keep trying and giving everything 110% and it really shows. Congratz on HOR, keep up the hard work and I hope you see great results! Cryptonus: One of the great RFA members of our time. I know you and Domz will have a great time this summer hosting amazing operations for all of agencies. You have some great ideas for Research and I know you and Tyler will continue to be a killer team. Avalon: You were awesome man. Coolest Brazilian 110%. I'm sorry what happened with your reserves. Maybe ill see you again on the server in a different time. Jack Crest: One of the old Goats. It was great working with you in security, those were the good old days. Even if you were a stinky British Crust. PlantBruh: I still can't believed you pulled the bait and switch with your security reserves, unforgiveable. jk. You were always a driving force for Security in your time, thanks for being a great example for Security. Moonrose: I had such a fun time getting to know you and later working with you in Research. I'm sorry things ended on a sour note, hopefully we can play monopoly again sometime. Nydecore: What a great example for Research. Super active and dedicated. It was a shame to see you go but I hope things are going well wherever you end up. Smitty: What a goofball. You had some serious potential in Security and Research. You did great in RFA and HCMD. I wish you left things on a better note. Ven: You did great in Wardens and did well as HCMD. I wish you had left things on better conditions than when you did. Hopefully you are doing better than how you were. Coltable, Bop, Chief, and Kevlar: Thank you all for being great Managers during your time. Each of you did some awesome stuff that really showed your dedication to the server. Colt helped so much with Juggernauts in Security. Bop, you were super chill and really helped the server shine. Chief, you did a lot for the server and did great with the site-50 map change. Finally, Kevlar, you have really stepped into your role as Manager and doing exceptional. Keep working hard and I hope you can lead the server in a better direction. Piller: You have really stepped up to HoS and I think you'll continue to do a good job. Just try to steer things in the right direction. Hoovy: One of the single most goated O5 and SMT of all time. No one has every had the level of understanding, leadership, and professionalism that you had in SMT and SA. It seems like a good time to come back and clean up lol. Sparkle, Starstep, Skela: Yall were some of the most goated O5. All of you did so much for all the branches in a very chill and respectable way. Thank you for you hard work and dedication to the server. Weiss: Thanks for being a positive force for SA. I hope you can help steer things in the right direction. Julias: Thanks for being a based trainer and overall awesome guy. Now lets queue up and get my mg1 back, I don't want to be a nova scrub Assassin: We got up to some major tomfoolery from when I was a WO all the way to SCMD. Thanks for being a great mentor and such a nice guy. ICR: What a great and chill guy. Thanks for being a great HOPO and leader early on in my Security career. Meeseeks: What a goofball. Had such a good thing going and had to go and work with a ZJ alt. Seriously, your a chill guy and its been great being friends with you even after your little funny moment.

Name: HexG Rank: DoRS Length of LOA: 5/4/23 -> 5/12/23 Reason for LOA: College end of semester work + Finals. Get your work done yall, its more important than gmod rank

In Game Name: NeoID Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:184445855 Job applying for: 05 Research (Coming from R&D) If applying for Red Right Hand preferred O5 to guard: N/A How many Strikes do you have: 0 Why do you want to join the O5 staff team: I've spent a good while in the Research Field for R&D. I have not only made my responsibility and advancement of my branch a "goal" but rather a priority of my time. I have spent a very large portion of my time these past few months in Research and Development for the Chaos Insurgency Branch. Working hard alongside my other members to advance R&D. To make it more fun and respectable within the Gaminglight SCP-RP. I plan to continue this duty. That means I need to expand sometimes, learning to grow as a researcher, and a leader. My pure intent is to bring the honor R&D deserves to the server. Through Experience, responsibility and making it an enjoyable branch. 05 Research could help me shape the path of both R&D, and Research too if I can manage it. Everyone deserves to find some form of enjoyment within the community. It then, becomes the job of their higher-ups to guide them to exactly that. This position would grant me exactly that. At the least, give me more opportunity to do such a thing. Another huge part of this to me is that not a single member currently on 05 Research comes from/is in R&D! To me this would be a huge opportunity to introduce the RP from both branches to make it more enjoyable! I at least, believe I could learn from the people in Research, and I have no doubt they could take something away from working alongside me as well! That's huge, and would definitely spice things up a bit! There is nothing I would like to see more within the Field of Research than a unity in that sense! It would make both branches more fun! It's also a good opportunity to just get to know what people in the foundation are more like, and vise versa for CI too! I would love to be able to speak to these guys more often, and show them my expertise! I would love to see theirs as well! I want to learn, and help shape the path of the Research within SCP-RP! What better way to do it! Part of it, is personal glory as well. May as well admit it here as well. I want to interact, and get to know the big mean bosses within the foundation as well! Being among their ranks is... well. Awesome! Who wouldn't want to reach that point? I would be honored to have a place among them. Working alongside them in the Field of Research! RPing with them sounds like the best thing right about now! Personal reputation within the server is good too admittedly. I plan to keep working with these people in SCP-RP for a while. Have had that mindset for a month or two now. Gaining a position of such responsibility would grow that reputation, showing my capabilities vastly! Only issue with showing them in a branch, is it never goes too widespread. Only to my Higher Ups within the branch. However, I want my abilities to make Research more enjoyable to be farther known! Why should we accept you: I cannot possibly express how much effort I have put into R&D. I really got no clue how I manage it. With a job, school, and all. Yet, still I seem to have even more time on my hands! My intents with Research are truly the best. I simply want to make the jobs within Research more enjoyable, and want people to become more invested in them. I am near always available somehow. Working hard into the night. I communicate easily with other Command members and Enlisted within my branch. Being capable of keeping a steady, humorous mindset all the while. However, I am capable of being either commanding, or strict when the time comes. I think that's hard to see in most people. Not only in Research, but in any branch. Some people are hot headed. Some a chill. Some are joking. Which, don't get me wrong. Nothing wrong with that, but I think its hard for people to have all 3 in one. Which I admittedly take pride in. Most people seem to be pretty satisfied after talking to me. At least... I would hope. I think myself to be helpful to most enlisted when I can be. I think one of the things I really am one of the best at is interacting with people. I also feel I have talent in documentation. I have written several SOPs, Forms, and Sheets for R&D in my time in the branch. I intend to do the same if this was accepted. If the chance ever comes up that is. I think I can be extremely informative in these, and feel pretty satisfied that people understand my writing with ease. As well as it helps them advance within the branch. Becoming more invested in it by the day! I want that kind of investment within all the Research Branches, if not all Branches! I feel I am one of the many people who can contribute to this, and I feel I am ready to begin that trial! I have proven capable of communicating with my fellow command members, and in cases, even leading and guiding them to advancement! I have worked alongside them to advance R&D, which I feel I have done a good job within! Only 2 months ago, R&D was a baron wasteland. Completely inactive. Except maybe 1 or 2 command members. Almost never any enlisted. Now we have begun to average 2 R&D enlisted on, and 1 or 2 Command on, which might seem small to other branches, but we are a pretty small division, and I'm proud to say I hugely contributed to this! I plan to continue my dedication to Research, Interrogations, logging, and the branch entirely! I wish to be able to do the same for other branches! I am easy to work alongside. Always open to the ideas and plans of others. As long as I'm certain it won't have any lasting negative effects! Thank you for hearing me out on this! I hope you consider me as a future representative of R&D within the 05 Research team!
