Applicants Steam ID - STEAM_0:0:32575037
(1.) Do you agree to and accept the Volunteer Staff Application Terms & Conditions? If so, please answer with "Yes, I do agree and accept these terms and conditions." - Yes, I do agree and accept these terms and conditions.
(1a) What is your most recent or commonly known in-game name or alias? - Alex Casey / Dad
(1b) What is your current acuity level in-game? (MUST be at least Acuity 7 to apply.) - Master prestige 1 acuity 3
(1c) List any alternative Steam accounts you may have - alt that would be used to watch staff back in the day, which has not been in use since early 2019. otherwise, none. I do not currently even know the steamID, I would have to login to that account to find it if it is absolutely necessary.
(2.) In which time zone do you reside? - Central
(3.) What is your age? - 25
(4.) Do you understand that you can be let go at any time at our discretion? - Yes.
(5.) Do you understand and agree to not only comply with, but also enforce the rules of the server when necessary? - Yes.
(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: Actions that are against the roleplay compendium. FailRP is a very broad topic ranging from rules already on the main 10 rules to being in the university area as the void overlord, inciting chaos amongst your fellow scholars from things not relevant to roleplay, and etc.
2. Be respectful: Don't be racist, homophobic, transphobic, or generally a douche to other players.
3. No RDM: Don't kill other people without reason.
4. Obey staff and RP leaders: Listen to the people who are watching over the server in a RP sense and OOC sense. If you feel someone is out of line, then report.
5. No free-spelling: Any spell that can cause harm to others should not be casted without permission from staff or an RP leadership role, unless it's clear the RP leadership role is failRPing.
6. No metagaming: Do not use information you know OOC in character. This also applies to combat, with a new life rule.
7. Do not mic spam or chat spam: Don't be cringe in your mic or in chat. Cringe is punishable by death
8. Telemail is for RP purposes only: Only use telemail for in character purpose. You can't be telling people you're a sexy gamer looking for other sexy gamers in telemail, for example.
9. No ERP: Do not engage in erotic scenarios in server. Things like a kiss emote is fine, but don't go to third base in the server.
10. No exploiting or cheating of any kind: Do not break out of the map intentionally, use scripts like bhop or aimbot for an advantage, or intentionally crash the server with creative use of game mechanics.
(6.) If you find yourself in a 'staff-sit' where you're unsure of how to fairly distribute punishment and or handle the situation or discrepancy at hand, what do you do? - My case is different I feel, but the same course. Making sure rules have not been updated since my leave with a higher rank within the team, either an admin or Brooks. If I cannot contact a staff member of a higher role within an appropriate time, consult the compendium and make a judgement that is suitable until contact with a higher rank is restored, so they can fix things as needed.
(7.) Do you have prior experience staffing on any Garry's Mod servers including SBS? If so could you please briefly describe it? If not, you may put "N/A". - I've been every rank, except owner of course. My old apps are on the old forums prior to 2018 (Enjin). If I need to provide these I can link a wayback machine to them maybe.
I'll summarize in the end here,
I do not intend to be full time in the future as of currently. I am just willing to help when I am online until a team can be rebuilt and stable. I am offering my time to rebuild already with what I can do for development, so I might as well offer a helping hand elsewhere that I have experience in.
If you have any questions or concerns, DM me on discord, my name is below in the signature. I'm happy to answer anything.
