I mean I have been shitposting in the Discord here and there, but my LOA is up. BF went home (sad), and I hate traffic. Glad to be back to causing chaos!

It's no problem at all to regret a decision, I am happy you've rethought this as the staff team was definitely going to be different without you there. Welcome back!

Updated Advert Rules: Advert Rules Adverts used for gameplay (PD Raids, Bank Raids, Raids) must be the first words posted in the advert. All in-game adverts are considered RP and can be acted upon, including raid adverts. Adverts used for raids/warns cannot be colored in any way and cannot have any extra text or symbols.

ACCEPTED You have been extremely active and a great member of the Community as of recent; I wasn't sure at first if you really wanted to Staff but based on what I've seen I have been convinced that you will be a good addition to the Staff team; good luck! Your assigned Mentor is: @dr. snortthisperc YOU ARE REQUIRED TO FINISH A TRAINING SESSION WITH YOUR MENTOR BEFORE TAKING SITS, IF YOUR MENTOR DOES NOT REACH OUT TO YOU OFFERING THIS SESSION REPORT IT TO ME IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN GET IT SET UP. Keep an eye out for a ping in #rookie-barracks on Discord for further information. Staff Handbook Link T-Mod Initiation Sheet (MUST READ)

Hi I'm flower

Cuz Joe is a boss

Updated Police Department Rules: Police Department Rules Illegal activity must be followed by an arrest unless the player is wanted or raiding, you can fast-wanted a player by right clicking with the nightstick whilst looking at them. If the player is wanted or raiding you can KOS them or arrest them.

This is not a discussion post. However staff are meant to be able to accept criticism (regardless if it is constructive or not) from other staff, and players as a means of improvement and possible self reflection. This is pretty much what @Donnie stated above.

-1 someone's app because they-1 your friend's app doesn't really mean much in my opinion. But thanks for sharing.

Oh hey it's the tunnel rat base guy lol James basically said the major issue I wanted to point out. We want players to stay on the server. We want to feel like a welcoming community. But we all fuck up from time to time. Situations arise and you have got to be 100% certain before handing out punishments before just pulling the trigger. Our rules and guidelines will give you the information needed on how to proceed with a player who is just MRDMing. Aside from that, I've talked with you a few times and you seem to always be listening to advice given from other players and staff. I personally have had no issues with you and you are a very open minded person from our few talks. Take James advice from the end of his decision and I think you'd do fine. +1

i need some staff on pls all of us are geting rdm mass rda mass rdm so we need some staff pls

If so, what?: None that I recall / was made aware of. Are you currently happy with your activity on the server and Forums as a player?: Not in the slightest. If that is an issue, I will wait the appropriate amount of time to reapply after getting my activity back up. Have you read the most up to date rules and Staff Handbook?: Yes. Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish 15 sits a week?: I am certain.

Welcome back, I know that feeling if you're long distance it sucks but keep your spirits up

Since I feel that this application could be coming to an end. I would like to once again express my appreciation to everyone that has given their thoughts/feedback on the application. I personally thought that everyone was going to give -1's on this but I am very happy with the outcome and feel that everyone can see that I truly care about the server and am here to help make sure the future of the server is bright. I would like to also state that I am very grateful to everyone on the server that has welcomed me with all their kindness even if they didn't know me. Before joining back officially, I was a little nervous since I knew that there wouldn't be anyone I know. But I cannot say that I have had a bad experience with anyone in the community, Y'all have made playing the server fun again. Thank you Everyone!

AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): Novva Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:216471142 Discord Tag: supersaiyanthree Total Playtime (24 hours/1 day REQUIRED): 1mo 4d 2h 25m. Timezone: EST Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Geologists/ Times you're most active (If you have a unpredictable schedule let us know): After 5:30 pm EST most days General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: I can contribute by being active late into the night when "Demon Aether" is going on, using my past knowledge and what I know now to bring a greater experience to players. Always help out new players getting them started and teaching the rules without being overbearing. Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Yes Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Yes, I am always ready to learn something. Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish 15 sits each week?: Yes DarkRP Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: A raid can last 10 minutes. If a player in your party dies whilst raiding, how long do they have to wait to come back and raid the same base again?: They have to wait for the 30-minute raid cooldown. What initiates a raid?: By using /advert raid being within microphone distance of the base. If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: Yes, if the job allows you to steal. Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert raid | /advert bank raid | /advert pd raid If the owner of the base is standing outside on their base entrances sidewalk as you're about to raid but haven't announced a raid yet, can you kill them?: No, you have to /advert raid first and the base owner must be within microphone distance for you to be able to kill them. If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: No, this ends the raid. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: No, this is what staff are for. A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: Depending on the warn history of the player they will be punished accordingly and would fall under RDM. If they are doing this repeatedly to cause issues it could also fall under NITRP. List all default Laws of The Land: Raiding and stealing is illegal. Entities detected by the contraband scanner are illegal Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted How many bases can you own per party?: 1 A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: This depends on the situation I would hurry up and get the person who reported them returned and attempt to reimburse them if needed and reassure them the player will be dealt with. After that, I would try my best to get them to calm down and come to an understanding with me but if all else fails I will gag them or freeze them if needed I will explain what they did wrong and tell them how to not have a issue like that again and return them. Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, this could be harassment and be counted as NITRP. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: A staff could be abusing by, using god mode out of sits, no clipping around, physgunning people for no reason. I would immediately contact a higher up and record what is happening. A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: I would bring them the admin land, freeze them let them know what they are doing wrong warn them for MRDM, and ban them according to previous warns. A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: I would bring the mayor and let them know that they can't be doing lockdowns for no reason if they refuse to cooperate I would warn them for job abuse and possibly NITRP depending on the situation and past warns.

Application looks good, your server activity is good as long as you keep it generally where its at considering you're new, James covered the only issue I had but otherwise a +1 from me.

Currently on the wall of +/- currently just because i know you have previous staffing experience and based on your ability to staff from your past i can say +1 but i can’t say i’ve really seen you super engaged with the community other than a few older players that have also returned around the same time as you. I credit you trying to turn things around and moving forward with the past and getting unbanned from the discord that’s a pretty big step for anyone in my opinion but for now i remain, - Neutral -

-1 My only interaction with this person has been a negative one. Negative comments and unnecessary things said on another players staff application.

+1 I haven't had any issues with you. No Active Warns. Wish more people had this mindset. 100% agree with what Monika said. And were you in Ret? Your name looks familiar.

Oh and since no one has linked it yet Staff handbook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B8epud7h4ptV5xRB5LDK19VGJ1J5Ntr60uKqJxRyKGg/mobilebasic#heading=h.ab12tea4elen Another way to access it anytime is click more at top of forums, hover or click useful links and the link to the staff handbook is there for you to access regardless of if staff or not helpful instructions and also if you don't trust my link I provided since this is quite a new account I made randomly and haven't played in a long time, nor a profile picture yet if this hinders trust, I'm not holding it against you 🙂

Hello Yesman, we haven't met nor am I upkept with rules or the hand book any more but the answers to the general questions alone seems you'd be a perfect fit to the staff team, that you have really great intentions and regardless of my unkeptness of rules or the handbook, I and everyone agrees it's a good staff application with the only flaw pretty much only being the punishment time ( depending ) and reasoning for the MRDM'r . James response is really great and should be of great help, Just Monika and others have given more insight on you as a person and like I said you seem like a perfect fit for staff, good luck +1 Make sure to continue to have positive interaction with the community, stay out of trouble and keep your activity up Depending in the victims say giving an RIS warning otherwise the rdm should be punished accordingly ( staff handbook ) WW | 5m jail | 10m jail | 15m jail | 1d ban Even if you hadn't say, other servers this would probably fall under attempted rdm but as you surely already know Aether doesn't have ARDM so in this case any damage inflicted by another player with out RP justified reasoning would fall under rdm ( this one isn't wrong other then, on Aether Networks it's Written Warning, it had used to be Verbal Warning but it was changed over a year ago now but just felt adding some say to this answer )

+1 nuff said, GET IN THERE BOI GET THEM RULE BREAKERS

+1 I think you should have a shot at Staffing. Your application is pretty good, with one minor error as @AV Zenie noted already. Good luck.

+1 I've known Novva since 2021 when Retribution had it's "revamp" and Aether was still fairly new, unfortunately, I can't access my old account so this is my new one. If anyone hasn't interacted with Novva, I will vouch for him. He is an amazing individual and knows the rules very well. I fully believe that Novva is probably the best suited to become staff on the server and if I could, I would give him a +20. Good luck Novva and I hope you become staff, you definitely deserve the position. Also, the app is good, very nicely constructed.

Ive met you on many playthroughs.. oh wait. The app. Never met you ingame so Im going off the app and votes. +1 Someone didnt get the reference:(

Wish more people had this mindset. Anyways, minus the issue that Zenie pointed out, I haven't interacted with you too much in game. But your app looks good. No real issues I have seen, plus having active staff in the late nights when most of us are AFK/asleep for work/busy with real life is always needed, so why not? +1

+1 ive interacted with u quite a bit and all interactions have been positive and i would love to see u on the staff team thats fs ur app looks great . keep up the good work

As staff we do not aim to discourage players from coming back. if that were the case there would be nobody on the server because no player is perfect and no player is always able to stay out of trouble. That’s why we have punishment guidelines and they should be explained to the player while punishment is given if necessary. Staff should always be making sure that someone is actually MRDMing before asking “why and just banning them” because they may not in every situation be MRDMing. You must be thorough with the logs and look at both sides of the situation before coming to the decision to ban. Along with the “Rules” that are available for everyone to read there is also a “Staff Handbook” that will pretty well cover the punishment guidelines for stuff like MRDM, RDM/ Revenge RDM, etc. Overall it’s a pretty good app i’ve had some good interactions with you around when you first joined i honestly thought you were going to be a minge at first glance but i was able to communicate with you very well about your basing situation and you gladly listened and fixed things as i explained them to you which was a nice surprise. While you do meet the playtime requirement the playtime is a little concerning for me and that’s nothing against you really just that you haven’t been around very long. I have not had the chance to check your warnings yet but overall i think you have a positive attitude towards the server currently and with other players i haven’t heard about or witnessed any bad interactions with you yet, i think if you manage to stay active, stay out of trouble, read up on the staff handbook a little, at least glance at it…. you’ve got a fair chance at making tmod +1 Good Luck.

+1, very detailed app, consistent playtime.

It's actually 1 Non-rp and 1 RP base, but that is a tiny mistake +1

+1, app looks good, good playtime Goodluck

It's definitely only because I was locked out of my account, I exclaimed this to my now ex-boss however they then showed the deadlines go back just a little over 2 years till I was locked out but I may believe that's just forged evidence.

@Enzo

we need some staff on pls we all geting mass rdm rda pls help un in need staff pls

mmmmfmffgnnnnn sending it right now bbg

not true

Cheese

-1, Not only that your server activity isn't quite there yet, however you have to start from scratch again (T-Mod) by making a new staff app as you've have went MIA from staffing for 2 years.

@luxerayunblock me from discord

Hello, as some of you already know I have resigned from staff. I am currently trying to go back to school for nursing and would like to shift my focus towards that. I am gonna try to get on Aether from time to time to hang out with my pals. I will eventually return to staffing and my DM’s are open to anyone of course. Thank you for all the memories I love you all ❤️

Hey wait it changed on the 17th.
