Full RP Name(s):   General Of The Resistance Sinclaire, NPU SQL Sulla.

What is your current in game level? 105.

Discord Username: kratek/kratek#2651

Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:52906888

What region/timezone are you located in? EST.

Do you have a microphone? Yes.

Previous warns or bans? No.

Why do you want to be a Gamemaster? There's been a degree of disinterest in the typical gameplay loop on the server for the last while, introducing some good old fashion events should bring more people together.

Have you ever been Event Staff/Gamemaster or something similar before? If so, list your previous positions and describe something notable you did in those positions. No.

Describe how you react to negative feedback, from constructive criticism to borderline harassment. Criticisms are one thing, taken in stride and with a grain of salt; harassment has little place in reasonable discussion. This is the internet, I am able to pick and choose.

While planning a server-wide event, you had another Gamemaster assisting you. Unfortunately, 5 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin, they messaged you and said they would be absent. How do you proceed? As planned, of course; although it'll likely be a scramble to see if another can fill in his place, or if other members of higher staff could possibly aide for the duration.

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? DM the HGM (and probably Sentinel) telling them as it was, and moving on from there.

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? Basic DM solution of "your attempt to outwit your divine saviour, shah of shah's et cetera et cetera has earned you a punishment." Destroying the computer causes the door to jam open, good job! Likewise, depending on circumstance and who exactly is on each side; an engi or tech could roll to splice through said door as a more reasonable solution.

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? Physically go to said side and hear their grievous complaints, and attempt to mediate & or impromptu rule amendments in order to keep things fun.

While you are hosting an event, you notice that the server starts to lag dramatically. What do you do? Attempt to minimize prop usages, amongst other things - this could have varying reasons for it's happening, from too many vehicles to someone accidentally pulling a prop into six dead bodies. 

Create three Event ideas and describe them below. Be as detailed as you feel necessary. Originality is greatly appreciated.

1. KOTH Underground; one side or the other occupies an area of significance that will provide resources, benefits or other boons assuming that they can hold onto the location for the specified amount of time. Depending on the case, it could be extracting a VIP, destroying an object or killing a specific person. Rewards are likewise variable, and depending on the intensity of the fighting could be a greater or lesser value of resources, weapons and or equipment (armour.)

2. CT Baseraid; one side or the other has captured a high ranking individual that could be compelled to reveal sensitive information, or worse yet - be turned to the other side; and so, a daring rescue is mounted: attacking side receives ten-twenty minutes to engage and rescue the captive whilst the defenders are expected to protect the asset for the aforementioned time, add spice depending on battlefield conditions (pushbacks, vehicles ect.) May be modified with life limits for the defenders due to the inherently hostile architecture for the attacker.

3. A Hunter has seemingly suffered catastrophic battle damage on the field, and no longer discerns friend from foe - either side may attempt to capture, or kill the target with the intent of denying it to the foe. Rewards scale inversely with damage dealt to said Hunter; rewards for the Combine side may be increased stipend pay, additional equipment (scaling again, with the quality of the recovered specimen) whilst the Rebellion (assuming they capture it) would receive a friendly hunter, and likewise stipend reward and equipment!

Do you understand the basics of using ULX and how to build in gmod?
Yep, probably..

The application itself could use some real work, especially on the Event ideas and some of the other answers. However, we have discussed this in private, and I believe you can do great as a Gamemaster with proper training. Wait for further instructions from a Head Gamemaster or above.
