Tony Morgose

(2.) In which time zone do you reside? -

(2a) Please provide the hours of the day that you are the most active on the Galaxy of Magic server according to CST (Chicago, US), so the managers and staff know when they can expect to see you. -

I recently got back into playing again - but I plan to play after 7:00 PM EST


(3.) What is your age? -

33


(4.) Approximately, when was the first time that you joined our Galaxy of Magic server and how did you initially discover it? -

I joined SBS back in 2016, roughly less than a year before the game server was established


(4a) How can we be certain that you will remain active on the server upon being accepted for a volunteer staffing position? -

It saddens me at the news of the recent change, but I see epic potential for future growth and would like to see, and assist in the development of the culture within the server.


(4b) Do you understand that you can be let go at any time for excessive inactivity at our discretion? -

I do


(5.) Do you understand and agree to not only comply with, but also enforce the rules of the server when necessary? -

I do


(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: Remaining within character and the confines of the RP experience is the staple of the RP world. Failing RP is stepping outside of those confines
2. Be respectful: This is self explanatory in that SBS wants to maintain a level of respect among players to maintain a safe place for people to come and enjoy the server.
3. No RDM: Random death match between player, killing each other unnecessarily and outside of RP
4. Obey staff and RP leaders: Being respectful and adhering to the rules put in place, and following directives from leaders that are active in-game.
5. No free-spelling: Using spells outside of RP reasons, becoming a nuisance to the server.
6. No metagaming: Using outside resources to gain an advantage within the game.
7. Do not mic spam or chat spam: Using the mic feature to annoy other players, either by playing music, or screaming into the mic, or just being annoying altogether.
8. Telemail is for RP purposes only: Telemail is only used to roleplay, using it for any other purpose takes away from the experience.
9. No ERP: Erotic roleplay. Weve got kids on the server, calm it down homie.
10. No exploiting or cheating of any kind: Utilizing cheats, or exploiting glitches to gain an advantage.


(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) -

I've been playing on this server off and on for a number of years, and the experience is unlike anything I have had in any other server on gmod, or anywhere else for that matter. I am a hardcore gamer, and thoroughly enjoy the RP experience. I see that immense change has swept trough SBS, and want to be part of that rebirth and the attempt to maintain the same culture that has been part of SBS since its inception.


(7.) In your opinion, which quality of yourself do you feel that you need to improve on the most? -

I can sometimes get swept up in the fun and forget that I'm trying to maintain good RP behavior.


(7a) In your opinion, which skill set of yours do you feel that you need to improve on the most? -

Being able to be firm but fair.


(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? -

I have years of experience vocationally managing large teams of people, and creating business culture that is both inviting, and ordered. I operate under the principle that if you love where you work, it won't feel like work. I think that translates well into the RP experience. You can have fun within the RP ruleset without having to be a Dark RP ass hat. The server is essentially starting fresh, and together we can once again become the most popular server on GMOD. I also have experience with social media marketing and SEO, so I could utilize my experience to get the word out about this new experience.


(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) -

No


(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). -

No


(11.) In your opinion, are the server staff or the players of more importance? Why? -

There is a balance between the two. I think they're equally important. Staff helps to create and maintain the RP experience, but the players make the experience. All the staff in the GMOD community is pointless without players. But the staff help to maintain the rules and experience and keep true players safe from the crazies.


(12) How would you rate your skills overall out of 10 (E.g., patience, response time, etc.) -

Overall I would rate my general staff skillset at an 8.


(13.) 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? -

If unsure of how to handle a specific situation, I would reach out to a colleague or superior for guidance. We're in this together, it's a group effort.


(14.) 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? -

I completely understand.

(15.) If applicable, please provide a list of all your 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) -

Previous staff application was from years ago and no longer accessible through the new forum
