What is your reason(s) for applying for Gamemaster? I was a previous GM withing Definitive Networks Gmod and I wish to rejoin it to help the server out and gain population for it other than just being full at around 1pm CST. I also wish to make the community more enjoyable to all of the players
Have you ever been Event Staff or something similar before? If so, list your previous positions. Yes, Certified GM withing Definitive Networks
Describe how you react to negative feedback, from constructive criticism to borderline harassment. I can usually ignore it as constructive criticism and take notes to better future events, but when it is obvious harassment I would contact a staff member and explain the situation and get them to handle it how they see fit.
While planning a server-wide Event you realized that it would make hosting it much easier if you had another Gamemaster assisting you, and manage to get someone to help. Unfortunately 5 minutes before the Event is scheduled to begin, they messaged you and said they would be absent. How do you proceed? I would see if there is someone else to help with the event and if not I would delay the event so then the participants can get the best experience with the event.
While planning an Event, you decide to test some of the tools you think would be helpful. You go to the admin room, and start to experiment. Unfortunately, while testing with some NPCs the server crashed. How do you react? I would notify staff what I was currently doing before the server crashed and ask if it was a bug caused by me or not. Depending on the answer is if I would continue testing with the NPCs.
An NCO has finished training a Recruit, but there are no COs or Staff online to provide the whitelist. What do you do? I would request a staff to get on or a CO due to the fact that GMs cannot take any sits unless it is directly involved with the event they are running
While hosting a server-wide Event you have implemented a RP section where players can interact with a computer in order to open a door. Unexpectedly, a CO decides that they would rather that door stay closed (Presumably so that the other side cannot continue), and orders that the computer be destroyed. Given that the door is essential to progressing your event, how do you react? Due to that being the way the players decided to take my event I would find a way to work around every decision they make and still seem realistic so then players have freedom of choice. If I can't see a legitimate RP way of a work around then I would try to push them in a different direction or just make it to where the door would open.
While hosting a server-wide Event, a CmD/MAJ decides that they dislike it, and begin to openly attempt to get players to refuse to participate. This reaches the point that there are almost no players participating on one side. How do you resolve the situation? I would ask the Cmd/MAJ why they dislike the event and try to come to an agreement as long as it doesn't hinder the event heavily, otherwise I would delay it and improve it at the same time. Or if it is an event that doesn't weigh heavily on both sides participating and it only matters if one is I would recommend they participate but would continue accordingly.
After hosting a server-wide Event, you are in the middle of a post-event Debrief when the COs present tell you to stop hosting your DB so they can host theirs. How do you react? I would ask the CO to let me finish this so then I could go do the other post event DB or log everything and if they refuse to comply then I would either go do the other event DB or start logging until their DB is finished.
What permissions do Gamemasters have, both inside and outside of Events? Outside of events GMs cannot use permissions. Inside event they can do almost anything as long as it is not obvious abuse or as long as it doesn't affect the entire server, with lag or anything else.
While preparing to host an Event, you notice that there are 3 vehicles deployed, and that the server is lagging a bit because of that. What do you do? I would request them be undeployed and then de-spawned and if the refuse to concur I would see if I could come to a compromise of undeploying enough to reduce lag
Describe your design process of Events prior to queuing them. I would do a bit of testing with the items required before queuing the event and I would also decide whether the populous would enjoy it or not.
Create three Event ideas and describe them below. Be as detailed as you feel necessary. Originality is appreciated, and a lack of details will be penalized.
1. Rollermine Hide and Seek (small event)- I would morph seekers into a rollermine and give the hiders cloak and have obstacles for the hiders to use to get away from the rollermine. if there were below 10 people, 1 seeker, 11-20 people 2 seekers, 21-30 people 3 seekers and so on. The seeker will have an allotted amount of time before the hiders win and the last people to be found are the next seeker(s), seekers have to kill every hider to win. If the rollermine explodes, the Hiders win as well unless it kill all remaining hiders.
2. Manhack Assault (medium evnet)- There has been a heavily armed anarchist faction and manhacks (1 manhack every 2 people rounding down) have been sent to deal with them. There will be a stage built or part of the map incorporated and blocked off after asking permission to do so. The manhacks can come from wherever as long as they stay withing the allotted area to avoid interruption from non-participants. The anarchists will have the Welrod (or current anarchist gun) and a MP5, they have a limited amount of ammo (they can fill up ammo when they get the weapons but that is it) and the manhacks have to shut down this faction.
3. Anarchy Cartel Revived (larger RP campaign) would need an advisor to help me with this event- The Cartel had fallen after its leaders Kingpin Pablo Escobar, Co-Kingpin Leadbead, and Druglord Octo, had retired. For a while the cartel had lay dormant only showing their existence to gear up or do small drug deals. Now that they have become big enough to pose a threat to the Combine and Rebels. They only make allies with the faction they are currently doing a deal with and as soon as the deal is over it is back to war with the faction in question. Pablo, Leadbed, and Octo have all become active again as the heads of the cartel and every member has better equipment than most enlisted units. Now that the heads are back the Cartel has become very violent and secretive. nobody knows where their HQ is but they do know when the Cartel surfaces they will kill anyone on sight, (RDM rules do apply so anarchists and civilians are safe), unless doing a deal with the COs of the Combine or Rebels. For the first mission there are 4 heavily armed cartel members transporting plenty of paraphernalia in an armored vehicle. Your goal is to either destroy the envoy or try to make friends with those cartel members, leading to a possible advantage in a future mission. If you are able to kill the escorts and get the armored vehicle back to base then you receive the contents of it as a faction.
How often do you think GMs should host events? At least 1 time a week, unless trying to do a server wide RP event, then I would say whenever the RP event fits in.
Do you understand and accept the following clause: I will not leak Staff or Gamemaster information, I will not abuse my powers, and I will not break the Gamemaster rules. Yes.
Do you understand the basics of using ULX? List what you know. !kill !noclip !cloak !slap !freeze !jail !goto !bring !give !sgive !sethp !ban !god !mute !gag !kick !strip

Neutral heavily leaning towards a +1
Overall a good application, although the last event seemed kind of blurred in its creation, and you have a lot of past warnings, but since they are rather old I hope that you have shown some growth. You also have a lot of knowledge when it comes to ULX. Good luck.
+1,
Octo is a very spirited and creative member of this community, as I personally can attest to as he was a high-ranking member of KILO back when I was CmD.
As for your third event idea, (which is clearly more conceptualised than the first two and something you appear to be more passionate about) I’m a big fan of anarchist relationship based on events, and I’m interested by the multiple choice opportunity you present, however the suggestion I can provide is to not make the anarchists too strong while they are antagonistic, as that will turn off a lot of people who aren’t particularly interested in events.
Best of luck!
Octo is a good friend and has answered a lot of questions i have had it the past about becoming admin/GM he was once a GM and i think with time could become a good GM once Again
