(4.) Approximately, when was the first time that you joined our Galaxy of Magic server and how did you initially discover it?
It was May 2018, but I only really started playing at the beginning of 2019. I found this server when browsing for Hogwarts RP servers.
(4a) How can we be certain that you will remain active on the server upon being accepted for a volunteer staffing position?
I know due to the recent events that led to the server changing a lot of things we have lost a lot of our player base, but I do like this community, and I want to keep playing.
(4b) Do you understand that you can be let go at any time for excessive inactivity at our discretion?
Yes, I do.
(5.) Do you understand and agree to not only comply with, but also enforce the rules of the server when necessary?
Yes, I do understand and agree.
(5a) Please explain each of the main server rules and what they each mean, to convey to us that you understand and comprehend them wholly.
1. No fail RP: Fail RP is when one acts in a way that would be considered abnormal for the character they are playing. (Example: Enforcers Free-spelling students.)
2. Be respectful: If you do not have anything nice to say, shut it. We are all here to have some fun.
3. No RDM: No Random Death Match, no killing another player outside of roleplay. (Example: Going into an active classroom and killing the teacher.)
4. Obey staff and RP leaders: Players must adhere to the hierarchy of the server, following the chain of command all the way up to the owner of the server if necessary.
5. No free-spelling: No attacking (damaging) or purposefully annoying a player (animation/sounds) with any spell that is not permitted by a job role.
6. No metagaming: No using information gained through outside communication on the server to benefit oneself or others. This could be, but not limited to finding someone's location or asking for help that would otherwise not come in the scenario. (Example: Telling someone on Discord you have been snatched and where to rescue you.)
7. Do not mic spam or chat spam: Unless allowed by role rule set there should be no playing of music or repetitive noises/words in verbal or written scenarios.
8. Telemail is for RP purposes only: Telemail should only be used by roles which rule sets permit it. (Example: Enforcers posting RFDs or Journalists posting headlines.)
9. No ERP: No Erotic Roleplay of any kind on the server that includes anything over voice or in chat, take that stuff to discord!
10. No exploiting or cheating of any kind: Any kind of map exploit should be reported to staff and should not be discussed with other players until it has been fixed, also using any kind of bot/alarm to remind you to stay active every 15-20 minutes so you do not get kicked for being afk is also considered exploiting.
(6.) Tell us a little about yourself and why you would like to be accepted for a volunteer staffing position on SBS. (100 words or less)
Hello, my name is Liam and yes, I AM THE TROUBLEMAKER, I love being cheeky and bringing out people’s evil sides but most of all I like to have fun on the server with everyone whether it be slide tackling Miro for no reason or hitting someone with the mute spell whilst they are talking. I would like to bring some of this personality towards my events and if accepted I will be making the Miro Clay Pigeon Shooting event.
(7.) In your opinion, which quality of yourself do you feel that you need to improve on the most?
For me it is Patience, I have a short fuse with people who are actively trying to be a pain whether in sits or just around people on the server
(7a) In your opinion, which skill set of yours do you feel that you need to improve on the most?
Time management, at the current rate I am going I will most likely be late for my own funeral. To help improve this I have enlisted outside help in the form of a secretary (AKA: Beatrice Saberhagen).
(8.) How would having you on our volunteer staff team benefit our server and what qualities set you apart from the rest of the applicants?
My chaotic nature would add variety to the team and to the current events hosted on server. I tend to vary greatly in my event ideas, not solely focusing on either PVP or objective based events.
(9.) Have you ever previously maintained a game server staffing position, or currently are, on any other Garry's Mod servers? If so, which ones, and in which staffing positions? (List them if possible)
I previously held a moderator position on SBS prior to rebranding, and I resigned from the position after a few months.
(10.) Have you ever previously been banned on any Garry's Mod or SBS servers? If yes, then please list approximately when, how long, and the reasoning(s).
Yes, once before. I fail to remember the exact date; however, it was for RDM with a ban of 12 hours.
(11.) In your opinion, are the server staff or the players of more importance? Why?
A good balance is key here, too many players and not enough staff = anarchy whereas in the opposite staff are left bored and are more likely to resign because there is nothing to do
(12) How would you rate your skills overall out of 10 (E.g., patience, response time, etc.)
Patience (5/10)
Response Time (7/10)
Knowledge (8.5/10)
Communication (9/10)
Fairness (8/10)
(13.) On a scale from 1 to 10, how familiar are you with Garry's Mod's default tools, context menus, and utility menus?
6.5/10
(14.) Provide us with at least two detailed examples of events that you would orchestrate and how you would proceed with organizing, operating, and constructing them.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NAV138pOZNTuRtU3DXmDeq6k7NQXUeXsplPj_QOc4y4/edit?usp=sharing
(15.) Do you have any prior experience using ULX administrative system or sandbox building on Garry's Mod?
Most of my experience building on Gmod has come from the server doing Mock Trials and a little on Dark RP servers
(16.) You both understand and realize, that by applying for a volunteer staffing position on the server, you are sacrificing the complete freedom of being able to role-play and or socialize freely all the time without any interruptions, and are obligated to handle all server issues and or volunteer staff position tasks at hand no matter the situation and to the best of your abilities?
Yes, I understand and realize.
(17.) Please provide a list of all previous volunteer staff applications, provide a link to them if possible, and list any reasons why they may have been locked. If they were previously accepted, please provide a short explanation of why you are no longer volunteer staff at the time of this application. (Disregard if this is your first application)
I submitted two moderator applications; one was locked due to no decision being made within 30 days. The second moderator application was accepted. I volunteered as a moderator for a few months before I needed to take an extended leave of absence, I resigned from the position to allow a new moderator to fill my position. I also applied for Gamemaker once before, that application was locked due to 30 days elapsing without a determination on acceptance or rejection.
Yes, I do agree and accept these terms and conditions.

RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Sibyl - 07-08-2022
-1 for constantly freespelling and slide tackling me!!!
I'm just kidding :p
I don't think I was around much when you used to be moderator, but from the few times I did see you I thought you did fine! So I honestly wouldn't mind seeing what you could possibly do as a gamemaker. I feel that when it comes to taking the responsibility, you'll be capable of it :)
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Adam Wrinkly - 07-09-2022
One of the first persons I interacted with on the server when I first joined, he treated with the absolute most respect, was the funnest person you could honestly meet. As long as you can look past the sliding. I look forward to your events if you are to be accepted in : )

RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Bҽʅʅα*:･ﾟ✧ - 07-10-2022
Fun (yet troublesome and annoying) person, events seem intriguing;
However, not having hardly any record of being on the new server Liam is a sight for sore eyes D:
[Image: https://i.imgur.com/Xe9q2aa.png]
I hope this improves or perhaps you have something different to say on the matter, I know I did see you yesterday for a little so.
My recommendation first would be to pick things up a little more over the next week or 2 though in terms of activity, and up to you to make some sort of attempt to engage others in RP, especially in classes (something needed currently) and it will will show you're ready to join :D
Besides that I think you would be good in the position.
neutral subject to change
(oh also im the only british person on the team now i need a friend)

This should be the overriding factor in lieu of the dearth of content the staff team is presently expected to work with. For now.
Your activity could be improved, but is wholly understandable given the circumstances and--- well,
the limited people you have available to interact with in the first place. But, more should be done vis-a-vis activity; and will need to be done should this position be extended to you.
EDIT: Concerns with activity now, in my opinion, outdated 21/07
Also, I can relate to your response to Question 7. I too, often struggle with the ability to be patient and commend you for acknowledging such a shortcoming.
I am sure your chaotic, radical energy; combined with your desire to create a variety of events (which shows adaptability to circumstances, Q. 8) would be welcome.
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Miko Aeona - 07-10-2022
little forum revival
Liam has had an interest in GM for quite some time now and has always taken upon himself to ask for help or to be put in the right direction, feedback etc. It’s no secret you’re a “troublesome student” but hey that’s your rp, you know how to have fun and you really are such a laugh to be around. You’re a well respected person, and done well when trusted within your last staffing position and I have no doubts you’d do well again. +1 give him a chance, he really deserves it after time and time again.
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Ministry - 07-10-2022

Yeah, Liam is pretty cool.
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - chandybear - 07-11-2022
Howdy liam, I'm glad to see that you are finally putting in your application for this. I feel like out of the other three to put in their respective applications you would be the greatest impact if given the opportunity to be a full time gamermaker. I haven't really seen your builds either which I will admit gets me a bit worry since I've seen you try and use a gravity gun before, but I feel like your personality and being outgoing and being a bit on the wild side on the server is just what galaxy of magic needs right now to bring it back to life. I understand the reasons why you haven't been on the server too, it makes sense but at the same time it would be beneficial on your part to play and to do roleplace scenarios. I really have nothing else to say you're a good dude morally and a lot of my friends say good shit about you. +1 for me at the end of the day and I look forward to see what you got. If you ever need anything like I said before as far as the props, etc or a helping hand lmk, my offer still stands on that. Best of luck!
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Eden (✿ ♥‿♥) - 07-11-2022

(still an awful person)
RE: Liams 2022 Gamemaker App - Etlenor - 07-14-2022
One of the few players with the biggest personality out here. Genuine, funny, and creative. Definitely one of the few people I'd love to see on the staff team as a Gamemaker. His potential is immense. However, I'd like to see you play a little bit more on the server. An hour a day is all I'd personally be happy with since it's the usual staff activity requirement.
Huge +1
