Well since you guys told me there is no water might as well make it an Space Boat, thrusters at the bottom for giving the effect of floating.
I did not mention anywhere else on the first event.

Denied.

Unfortunately I do not need that much time to review this application, and I have a few other comments but the main reason for your denial is simply because you have only been on the server for a week. Given the overall lack of knowledge of your character and having participated in an "incident" of some kind, I will simply ask you to review the information you have been given, and to reapply for GM after you have gained a bit more experience on the server.

Otherwise;
-Your application is overall pretty good. As a semantic, there are a few minor grammar or spelling issues, but nothing that makes it look like you've put no effort in.

-Your responses to most questions are fine, actually. The generic-ish questions are all answered in an acceptable manner, but the main thing I wanted to point out here was in response to Bateman's comment (+respect to you for your responses there btw). Basically, GMs and Events take precedence over COs during Events. While Bateman is correct about his points, the responses to the questions there are more intended to determine your general method of problem-solving (and if you have one at all), which you did demonstrate. 

Event Responses

1) This might be due to your experience being primarily in Unturned, Minecraft, and CSGO, but this is impossible in CvR without an insane amount of micromanagement. Cannons can be made but cannot be reloaded without you there personally (certainly not fast enough to be enjoyable), and no CvR map has enough water territory to make a sea-based combat area anything other than futile.

2) It's a boxing ring, almost as simple as you can get. To be blunt, you could have discarded this Event and my perception of your application would not have changed, if only because it's been on GM applications hundreds of times.

3) Boss-battle Events rarely work well without an extreme amount of background and effort put into them. Having just one guy running around killing a ton of people (especially as part of an Event on CvR) is not that much fun for the participants.

4) This Event seems like a strange mix between small-scale and large-scale elements that work well separately but not together. Ignoring the lore details such as the "new unit" idea, fundamentally Events on CvR require you to minimize the amount of micromanagement they require as much as possible. This seems like it would require a LOT of effort from both the COs and NCOs leading the parties, AND the random players who are in the participating squads. You could totally make this two different Events (1 with a single squad RPing through searching a region for clues on something and 1 with a big raid on a factory or smth), but i'd recommend against hosting this Event as-is.

You may reapply in 2 weeks.
