ULX blacklist from both GM and Staff, this was a year ago and it's already been lifted
What is your reason(s) for applying for Gamemaster? I had 1 event I couldn't host the day before I get blacklisted, I am still mad about that Been wanting to join GM (And staff) for a while to both help out with events, do some small-time events myself and generally make sure everyone's being entertained regardless of the situation, and with the server heading into some more RP focused, I feel like I could do even more shit then I have in the past. And truth be told- I hesitated too much to host events
Have you ever been Event Staff or something similar before? If so, list your previous positions. Staff and GM in CvR, Staff in many other communities and games
Describe how you react to negative feedback, from constructive criticism to borderline harassment. Borderline harassment, ignore, or take it in a joking way, makes them cope more. For constructive criticism, take notes of what the players liked and didn't like, try to improve in the future with those criticisms
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? Try to host it alone, or get another emergency GM to help out while quickly explaining the situation. Never delay an event in my opinion
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? Message Sentinel that the server has crashed, and explain what you were doing in detail, then get told "Don't use pills" even tho pills do not crash the server...
An NCO has finished training a Recruit, but there are no COs or Staff online to provide the whitelist. What do you do? NCOs should be able to give WLs now, outdated question >:ↄ
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? Instead of forcing or railroading the event, try to find a work-around about the situation to get the door open or something ELSE for the event to continue.
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? Ask the person in question what they find bad etc, if it's a proper reason, try to find a quick fix to the said problem, if it's just some bullshit reason, force the person in question to participate, or be warned for disturbing event
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? Ask the CO to hold their horses for just a second so you can give out a quick explanation and then let them do whatever they want with the DB
What permissions do Gamemasters have, both inside and outside of Events? In events, practically anything, outside of events, Recruit WL, specific player events etc
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? Tell one of them to undeploy, if it still lags, tell two of them to undeploy, if it STILL lags, sadly no vehicles

>Execution 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. OVERWATCH-400 Resistance Members from X sector ambushed a prototype weapon cache heading towards City X. Intel was cut short so the resistance members do not have any information on this weapon cache, only that it can be useful. Having this in their disposal could be useful against this the never-ending war.
Overwatch has are KIA at Sector X. All units are tasked with the retrieval of [CLASSIFIED] weaponry. We expect heavy Anti-Citizen contact. If retrieval of weaponry is not possible, all units are tasked with destroying the said weapon. Failure will result in off-world assignment. CODE: Sacrifice, Expunge.
OOC; Resistance members will have 3 event characters with good arsenal helping them out to defend a specific location on the map. Some rebels will also be tasked with gathering and raiding nearby combine posts to gather equipment to get this "weapon" up and running. They must at least bring 4 of 10 objective items put in specific places.
Rebel win; 2 free leopards with edited stats, 2 to 3 weapon crates that give random weapon (failure to bring the equipment but holding out the position will result in only weapon crates being given)
Rebel lose; Depending on how long they held out the position, give weapon crates or different rewards
If combine retrieve; same reward
If combine destroy; credits or some other type of reward
If combine lose; Depending on their performance, reward accordingly
2. Faction specific event/passive
(This is a longshot BUT)
Officer Exchange Program If both sides high-command agree out of character, they could take the other faction's equivalent/closest CO rank to specifically do trainings with the enemy faction, organize them into squads or even lead them out to fight for at least an hour or two, after which both sides will just return to their standard duties etc. This is more of a thought then an actual plan.
3. God-Forsaken Experiment During a mission, SU Major Dicknball has entered a section of the base where not even Clearance Level 5 had full access to. During this mission, however, Major has discovered something horrid. Prisoners, being used as lab-rats, men, woman, and suprisingly, children. Children abducted during the 7 hour war, put into stasis chambers to be experimented upon by the higher ups of the Universal Union. Enranged, the Resistance High Command decided a total annihilation plan.
This plan consists of 3 parts; HECU units assisted by SU to infiltrate into Combine base and hide. Resistance High Command deploying their main forces to the frontlines, alongside heavy ordnance such as T90 and KA52s.
During the main force is attracting combine's attention, HECU units will save these lab-rats, possibly attempt to break the stasis chambers to save the children whilst the SU units are waiting on the greenlight from HECUs to cut down the bases main power. As soon as the power is off, the resistance will do a full charge.
High Command of Rebels has 2 options, take over the base, or blow it up to the skies.
Rebels have a total of 20 to 30 minutes to complete this entire objective, if they fail to do so within the limited time, Combine will also be reinforced with Heavy Ordnance and prototype weapons (Hornet) How often do you think GMs should host events? Depending on the scale of the event, it should be from once to twice a day, to once or twice a week.
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.
+1
I believe alma would make a great addition to the GM team, especially with the new changes the GM team have received!
I personally like his ideas for the events, such as the officer exchange program, it would be something unique and worth a shot.
They have been on the server for ages and are well versed in its community so know how people react to certain type of events etc, which is a great advantage.

Through blood and soul, a friend that wont let you down.
I'd trust alma with my soggy toaster.
Further information will be provided via discord.
You've got a very clean app and decent events; I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do as TGM.
