i think i should win because i deserve the custom big floppa role :) this is my favorite halloween picture i think baby floppa did a really good job at carving his floppolanter!

Hello everyone. It is with a heavy heart that I must make my departure as staff from Aether Networks. I want to give a massive thank you to Jman for giving me the opportunity to help run this community as a staff member. I absolutely love this community and being able to help the player base and have so many of you appreciate the work that I put in to make your experiences as best as they could be. As to why I am leaving? There are a few reasons, the biggest being school. I start college on August 26th. I didn’t even think I would be able to continue my education due to money troubles, but I have some very fortunate family members in my life who want to see me succeed and I cannot fail them. I gotta focus on school on top of managing a job. Having to staff on top of all of that seems out of the cards rn. There are a couple of more reasons why I am leaving but only few of those know those reasons and it will stay that way. Do not go asking around. I ask that those of you who know keep it to yourself as I don’t want to stir up shit. I cannot force your silence but I can ask you politely Will I be back? It’s debatable. Depending on how college goes, I might return to staffing in the far future if this server is still running. You may see me online from time to time as well as college eventually has to give me a break. I ain’t leaving 100% (so no free items for any of you; my inventory dies with me if I never come back). If you took the time to even read all this, thank you. It was great coming back to this server after a long break, and I made a lot of good friends. If you ever need help please reach out in DMs and I can still do stuff behind the scenes if need be. Other than that, I’ll see you when I see you guys ❤️

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 ❤️

I would like to thank everyone that has helped me and shown me alot of things along the way, I don't want to become inactive and keep the current staff team from becoming upset and me not being here. I have alot of stuff going on right now and hopefully with return in the future, But as of right now this is a goodbye 😞

not anymore

Friends, A month and a half ago I rejoined Aether and I have had an absolute blast playing with all of you. Coming back was one of the best decisions that I made in my life. Being able to connect with old friends, as well as meeting new ones along the way, I am glad to be a part of this community, as well as the staff team. However, I have been given a big opportunity to become an Assistant Manager basically becoming my GM’s right hand. With this, my 40 hour work weeks will turn into 50 hours very soon. Along with my promotion, I will be moving out of my parents house very soon and moving into an apartment with a friend of mine, and balancing staffing with friends, family, work, etc. is going to be very difficult for me. For this reason, I’ll be stepping down from the staff team and I will be leaving Aether for an undisclosed amount of time. I wish I could tell you when I’ll fully be back but I don’t currently have an answer. My training begins soon and I’ve really gotta start focusing more on my IRL ventures, but I promise that I will be back. Thank you for all of the great times, late nights, early mornings you all have given me. I will sincerely miss all of you as I go on this long hiatus, and I hope to keep you all updated on how life is going. With me being fresh out of high school I’ve got alot on my plate that I need to finish up, and the second I can find out how to balance everything I will be back. With that said, goodbye for now everybody, I will return!

Hello, many of you may know me as a staff member as I've been staff since 12/22/2020. I am making this post to inform all members of the community that I am no longer staff but I will be on the server occasionally. I wish Aether the best of luck and continued growth as in my opinion the best Gmod DarkRp community to date. 💝

Happy Easter to all ❤️

AetherNetwork DarkRP Rules Need Help? Contact a Staff member by typing @ followed by your question/request! Staff have the final say. If you disagree with a staff member make a Forum Complaint. Discord Invite Link: Discord.gg/AetherNetwork Basic Rules Be civil, this is a game - treat it as one and try to have fun; if you are intentionally ruining or disrupting other’s gameplay you will be punished accordingly. Keep any political/racist/hate speech/toxic/excessive NSFW behavior and words out of the game, Forums and Discord. NiTRP (No intent to Roleplay) is when you do not follow rule #1. RDM (Random Deathmatch) occurs if you damage or kill another player without a valid reason from your current in-game life. NLR (New Life Rule) restricts you from interacting with the player(s) who caused your previous in-game death for 3 minutes from your death. After being killed by another player the gameplay situation between you ends. If you die defending a base you cannot defend that base or enter the base until NLR is over. Hits do not apply NLR and the victim can return immediately. If you have clipping software available and can swiftly provide clips you are able to retaliate and kill players when they attempt to kill or arrest you, otherwise if you cannot supply clips you must wait until you take at least 1 damage to be able to retaliate. Using commands/binds whilst AFK is disallowed in all cases. No mic-spamming or radios unless you are a DJ. There should be no overly loud noises played from your microphone under any circumstances. Impersonating other members of the Community or using another iteration of their name intentionally trying to bother them is disallowed in all cases. Alternative accounts cannot transfer items to main accounts/farm money and cannot claim/use in-game codes. Banned players cannot rejoin on alternative accounts. Entering safe-zones to avoid gameplay or killing yourself to avoid gameplay is strictly disallowed. Your name must have at least 3 English letters with no spaces between them. Using /demote should only be utilized with a valid reason and when no Staff are available. Wait at least 10 minutes after creating a ticket before receiving no response and going through this route. Suiciding to avoid gameplay, rejoining to avoid raid or anything that ruins gameplay between players intentionally is considered FailRP. If players steal your items inside of a building you can KOS them, if you are intentionally getting players to steal items to KOS them this is baiting and would be considered RDM. Items in public are up for grabs and cannot be defended. Exploiting any game mechanics is strictly forbidden in all cases, if you find something that appears to be bugged/broken or over-tuned you should bring it up to a higher-up, abusing these systems will result in punishments on a case-by-case basis depending on damage done and benefits gained. Cheating, exploiting and scamming are strictly disallowed. Abusing exploits will result in a punishment equal to the damage done to the server through said exploit. Using Macros and/or auto clickers is considered cheating unless given permission in rare scenarios. Building Rules All jobs (With the exception of mob jobs) can build 1 raidable base and 1 RP-Only base per party. RP-Only bases can be built on property you own, or areas you are first to claim. Raidable bases can be made anywhere other than on or above the street, sewer walkways, public tunnels or fountain. The only exception to building on/above the street is to slightly extend your sidewalk entrance to make it 2 player wide, if necessary. For Police the PD counts as their raidable base, for Bankers the Bank counts as their raidable base. Bank and PD can utilize as many keypads as the tool lets them. Rooftop’s are owned by whichever base’s door is connected/closest to it, if the rooftops has no base connecting to it then whoever builds there first owns it. If building in the street or sidewalk there must be a clear accessible way to get past the base, and it must not block any public entities this also applies if building in any type of tunnel that is not a dead-end. Any overly large bases or those imported with Advanced Duplicator that are normally not spawnable may be removed at Staff discretion. Mob-based jobs such as Russians and Italians can own up to 4 bases as long as they have at least 5 players actively basing and using the job, each base owned have their own separate keypad/door limit. You cannot have any cancer/painful to look at materials. Raidable Basing Rules You can utilize 3 keypad doors and 3 button doors for a raider to fully access your base. These must be visible and next to the door they open with no extra fake keypads/buttons. You must only have to breach each keypad and button 1 time to get in and 1 time to get out. All keypad and button doors must be raidable with all raiding tools. Your base must have at least 1 working entrance. All members of the base must be added to the front door of the base, if there is no front door you must all be in a party. Your base must be a clear and accessible path with no movement restrictions or forced crouching. Players should be able to do a full jump in every area that the base owner has control over (rare world exceptions such as doorways, window-ways etc). Movement restrictions also include drop, trap and maze bases. The path you force players to raid through must not take longer than an average of 30 seconds at default sprint speed from the entrance of the base to the main area of raidables within the base; not including keypad or button doors. All areas of your base must be able to fit 2 players side-by-side. The only exception to this would be map areas where it wouldn’t be possible to fit 2 players. Bases that have dedicated areas to damage players from must allow raiders to damage the baser. You must have your shoulders and above visible and damageable when shooting at raiders and raiders must have their shoulders and above visible and damageable when shooting at basers. If you are being raided you cannot leave, build or destroy your entities until the raid has concluded. Raiding Rules A raid advert must be created before using any raid tool to correctly initiate a raid. You have a 30 minute cooldown from your raid advert before raiding the same base again. Your raid may last up to 10 minutes from your raid advert. If raiding PD you must specify PD RAID. If raiding the Bank you must specify BANK RAID. Once a raid has been initiated neither raiders nor basers can use their tool gun, spawn props or remove props. During a raid neither the raider or the baser can switch jobs. The baser doing so is considered the same as rejoining to avoid raid and the raider doing so is a fail raid. You can raid a base that another raider is already raiding but you must commit to the raid and attempt to finish it, using raid adverts just to kill the raider is disallowed. Raids must be initiated from within microphone distance of the base's entrance or inside the base, leaving microphone distance of the base forfeits the raid. You can kill members of the base after your raid advert if they are within microphone distance of the base’s entrance. Raidables must be reachable by all raid tools at all times, for example you cannot have raidable's phys-gunned to be unreachable by raid sticks. If raidables are accessible without using a raiding tool you do not have to advert raid and no cooldown is applied. You cannot raid any bases that have RP Only or Building signs. You cannot raid stick your own/your friends entities for profit, if you are switching jobs let the entities delete. You cannot start raids of any kind during the Purge. Any toll-like builds whether it's from the Mayor, Casino Manager or any other job that is using a paid keypad to give access to an establishment/location can be lockpicked at any time & do not count as an actual raid. Warning Rules Players can be warned to leave your area if they are causing disruptions to yourself. Warns must be given in /advert specifying ‘Warn 10s/10 seconds’. If the player is still within microphone distance after the warning you can kill them. If the player returns to microphone distance from where you adverted the warn within 30 seconds you can kill them. You can only warn players in your base or public areas and you cannot warn players to leave if they were at the location first. 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. Kidnapping Rules Hostages can be kept for up to 10 minutes and can kill themself if kept for longer than 10 minutes. Kidnappers must offer a valid ransom promptly after having the kidnapped player secured, the only exception would be travelling to a base/location - however kidnappers cannot deliberately travel unnecessarily to delay giving ransom. If you choose to pay the ransom the gameplay between you and the kidnapper ends. Killing a kidnapped player to free them is considered FailRP. You cannot force players into uncomfortable situations whilst kidnapped, in-game RP is allowed but if you are kidnapping players to make them miserable Staff may remove the player from your base or the player may suicide. If a kidnap victim feels they have been kidnapped for the purpose of getting them intentionally stuck or left with no gameplay interaction they can choose to suicide, if the kidnapper feels this was unfair/invalid they can call a sit. Carrying a player through your own KOS sign does not allow you to kill them unless they break out of their restraints. The maximum ransom you can demand is $25,000,000. RP Only, KOS and Building Sign Rules RP Only, KOS and Building text-screens must be at least 75 in size whilst being clear and visible. KOS signs can only be placed at your base's entrance and can only be enforced once the player is past the sign the sign must be clear and visible. If a player is past your KOS sign you can kill them. If the player leaves the area after passing the sign you cannot hunt them down to kill them unless they dealt damage to you. RP Only signs are utilized for bases that want to allow players into their base and have a build but without the risk of being raided. If you choose to have an RP Only base you cannot own any raidables, the only exception to this is supplier jobs such as Gun Dealers, Black Market Dealers and Medics - you can sell your products whilst having an RP Only sign. Building signs are utilized when creating a base to stop you from being raided. There is no time limit on how long you can have a Building sign for but you also cannot have raidables inside your base whilst this sign is up. Party Rules Party members cannot raid or steal from other party members. PD and Bank jobs are considered 'in a party' - if you switch off a PD job you must wait the timer below before raiding PD and if you switch off a Bank job you must wait the timer before raiding Bank. After leaving or being kicked from a party there is a 15 minute cooldown before being able to raid the party’s base. If you remove a player from your party you must give them their raidables. Party members are able to defend their party members in every scenario. Raid cooldowns are shared across your party unless you are a member of the PD. Mayor Rules Laws you create CAN: Create interactive gameplay that make players want to avoid breaking laws. Encourage players to purchase gun licenses and passes to avoid certain laws. Have punishments that are not just AOS such as fines (up to $10m resulting in arrest if refusing to pay the fine), stun stick/beatings and any other form of punishment that is reasonable and within the rules. Restrict players from going to certain locations as long as the locations are avoidable from multiple ways and cannot be vague.(An example would be 'Players caught in the sewers will be arrested due to an ongoing drug bust') Laws you create CANNOT: Contradict the default laws of the land. Be laws against things players have no control or choice over. Laws should only be for things that players choose to do and risk being arrested for. Have unreasonable punishments for the laws broken. Bait and encourage instant-arrest gameplay to fill up jail cells with little to no gameplay addition. Restrict weapons that are not flagged as dangerous. Enforce KOS without the player being an active danger to a players life or wanted. Lockdowns can be created with a valid reason, after you lockdown you should announce the reason in advert. You cannot utilize RP Only or Building bases to avoid being raided/killed. Police Department Rules Police cannot assist criminals. Builds for the PD building must stay within the PD building. Your main entrance cannot be PD vents. The PD lobby and Bail NPC must be accessible at all times. If you choose to have paid keypad doors in the jail cells these are considered paying bail and you must have at least 1 cop or lawyer near the cells at all times ready to free players who pay the bail. 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. You can only warrant for things you have visually seen or have been reported to you in an RP manner. Illegal raidables cannot be allowed inside of PD, if you have knowledge of illegals inside of PD you must try to destroy them. The Mayor can approve of up to 2 tolls around the map. The tolls must have an accessible keypad that is not more than $500,000 in cost. Tolls are able to be built on any land other than someone else's owned property. If a player intentionally skips the toll you can make them wanted and then take action. If there is no Mayor there can be no tolls. Players can lockpick/keypad crack and breach tolls at any point, this is considered illegal and an arrestable offense. Laws of The Land Raiding and stealing is illegal. Raidables detected by the contraband scanner are always illegal. Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base defending it. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted. Staff Sits To request a sit with a Staff member to report a player type ‘@ *sit reason here*’. Sits created through @ must have a valid reason and not intentionally waste Staff time. You can create sits to report players you believe broke the server rules. Once you create a sit you should expect to be brought at any time after, this can be a short or long wait depending on the amount of sits and Staff online. If you are in a Staff sit you must wait until the sit concludes before leaving. If you disagree with the outcome of the sit you can appeal Bans and Warns on the Forums, never argue in the sit as it only makes your case worse. All ban and warns appeals are viewed with no bias, do not fear reporting Staff or players you believe wronged you. For issues that are related to bugs, broken items or anything that can’t be resolved in-game you can create support tickets for higher-ups and the Owner to view on Discord in the #support channel. Wardrobe Your models chosen cannot break any of the default rules including NSFW/Racism/Political or anything in-between. Models that are overly inappropriate or showing underwear fall into the NSFW category. Models that show characters or people who are controversial may fall into the racism/political categories. Models that have been flagged as 'Nudity or Sexual Content' by Steam cannot be used. You cannot have invisible or hard to see models. You cannot have overly large or invasive/annoying models that obstruct other players gameplay. You cannot have small models intended to abuse hitboxes, this is mostly a problem in bases and is a case-by-case basis. If you break any of the wardrobe rules you may be subject to punishment and possibly a blacklist from the entire addon. IRL Trading The ability to trade for IRL on Aether is a privilege and should be treated as so - the ability to partake in IRL trading can be revoked at any moment. IRL trading posts should be as clear & straightforward as possible - you are allowed to take offers but never try to get a price you know is unreasonable once you realize somebody is ignorant to the average price, especially if you have sold that item or currency before. IRL trading posts should be posted in the Discord trading channel, leave IRL trading out of the in-game advert/OOC or anywhere invasive - discussing this in private is fine but do not go out of your way to bug people selling things if they haven't asked. Abbreviations RDM - (Random Deathmatch) occurs if you damage or kill another player without a valid reason from your current in-game life. NLR - (New Life Rule) restricts you from interacting with the player(s) who caused your previous in-game death for 3 minutes from your death. FailRP - (Fail Roleplay) this disallows you from committing acts that ruin the flow of gameplay without a valid reason. KOS - (Kill on Sight) this is an action that can be used in certain circumstances, example would be cops being able to KOS wanted criminals or players being able to KOS people who walk past their KOS sign. AOS - (Arrest on Sight) certain crime makes you arrestable on sight from cops. NiTRP - (No Intent To Roleplay) this relates to players who are not participating in gameplay whatsoever whilst actively trying to ruin other players time on the server. RP Only - (Roleplay Only) this is placed with signs that means you cannot raid the base due it not having anything of value inside and only wanting to 'roleplay'. WW - (Written Warning) these are usually the first punishment given to players from Staff when a rule is broken, this is a formal warning to let you know that you broke a rule and to avoid doing it again. RIS - (Resolved in Sit) Staff can decide in a sit that the rule broken was 100% accidental and use a RIS warning to log that the sit happened but with no punishment, these do not count towards any future punishments. PD - (Police Department) the building where Police reside.

Thought s ome of them came out well, Props to @Papa Wafflefor the Stadium build and @dr. snortthisperc for the soccer ball lmao. May look dope on the Loading Screen? @Jouaram

Tips & Tricks Using 1 way walls There's 2 common methods used on Aether, from very simple to a bit more complicated; Method 1 --> A prop that should be familiar to any regular Garry's Mod player can be used as a 1 way very easily. Simply place the prop down in front of you and use nearly any of the materials available. You'll notice that one side should be fairly see through while the other is not at all. ( models/props_building_details/storefront_template001a_bars.mdl is the prop in images ) Method 2 --> This method is a bit more complex but adds for a really nice defense for your base. I'm going to use blocks in this demonstration, but naturally you would want to use the plastic plates or some sort of wall-like prop. Step 1: Start by using the stacker tool to duplicate the prop so that there is 2 side-by-side. If it's hard to notice the difference between the 2 props, try holding toolgun or holding down C on your keyboard and hovering over the prop with your cursor to outline it. Step 2: Now that you have your 2 props side-by-side, you'll want to switch over to the material toolgun and search the letters "VGUI" and the one you need will be the only one available with that name. You want to use this material on the prop that will be INSIDE of your base (the side you want to be transparent) Step 3: After you've completed step 2 you should be left with something like this. Next we're going to remove that nasty grid from the material. This is super simple yet so easily missed; switch over to your color toolgun and make sure that Render Mode = Normal, and Render FX = None. You will see 4 boxes while in the color tool menu, and in the very last box enter the number '1'. Then all you've got to do is use the color tool on that nasty grid material to make it 100% transparent. Remember you can hold C on your keyboard or use toolgun to see this prop Step 4: Now that you've got your regular prop beside your invisible prop, it's time to do the magic with the color tool. This time, you'll want to make sure that Render Mode = Glow, and Render FX = None. Make sure to change that '1' you had previously changed back to 255 to make sure nobody can see through on the other side. Select a nice color for the theme of your base and use it on the prop that we haven't touched yet. Bam! You've made yourself a great 1 way! How to record my gameplay/install Medal Medal is a clipping software used by many different styles of gamers. Here in Garry's Mod, we typically use it to record evidence incase of a staff related sit; whether you're the one making the report or need to show your side when being reported. The installation and first time use was demonstrated by @NotYourMomsPancakes in an earlier guide. Available here. How to find items you've been looking for There's a few ways you can go about this, and I suggest doing them all depending on how bad you want what you're looking for. Discord --> The Discord server offers a trading forums that is probably more active than you think! Assuming you're cool and are already in the discord server, click the trading channel and this is what you'll see. All you've got to do is add a title, a message and a tag showing whether you're buying or selling! /advert in-game --> I'm not saying to go around annoying everyone with spam messages, but an advert every 10-15 minutes mentioning that you're selling or looking to buy an item may help you out. It's worth a shot, right? How to setup keybinds Setting up binds is relatively simple, first you'll need to start off by figuring out which key is what for console commands. Thankfully for me, there's a steam guide on this here. After you figure out which key is what, head over to your in-game Garry's Mod console. For keybinds that you want to run as console commands, type them like this (stopsound, kill) For keybinds that you want to run as chat commands, type them like this (job cmds, adverts, purchases) If you are unsure what command you need, then you can back out of your console, and press F1. From here you'll see a long list of green and red commands, the green commands are all of the commands that your job has access to. For example, if you're looking to bind meth refills then your command is; Trading in-game for IRL Trading in-game items or money for real-life money is perfectly fine as long as you are keeping yourself safe. Before making an IRL trade, I suggest that you let whichever staff you're closest to know that you are going to be doing this deal. Make sure it's a clear message showing; 1) The value of in-game trade 2) How much money 3) Other party accepting this deal in clear wording I also suggest that you make sure this player is somewhat trusted or known on the server. You don't want someone you can't trust with your email or payment details. None of this is enforced, this is just my own personal suggestion. How much is my item worth / How rare is my item? Finding out what the worth or rarity of your item is can be a pretty stressful task. Thankfully when it comes to limited items, there is a spreadsheet available made by @havoc that will tell you exactly how many there are in circulation. You can find this spreadsheet here. Limited > Only available for a set amount of time. Has no chances of coming back after leaving. Legendary > A common type of permanent item, usually used as a filler in 'Normal' crates. Store-Blessed > Items purchased in packages from !store with real-life money. Contraband > Actual permanent weapons found in contraband crates. Relic > Usually funny/meme items found in 'Relic' crates. Seasonal > Items that are released yearly depending on the season/event. i.e, Halloween Event, Christmas Event. Seasonal-Contraband > Same as Seasonal rarity except these are real weapons like Contraband. Luxury > A low chance item found in Luxury crates. Exotic > A low chance item found in Exotic crates. Warped > A low chance lightsaber found in Warped crates. If your item is not a limited you should try to reach out to a well known collector for a price estimate, if you cannot find anyone with a price then I suggest listing the item on market for more than what you feel is fair and work your way down as the time goes on. Having the item on market will give other players a chance to see that you are selling this item and someone may even come to you with an offer. Making Garry's Mod run better on Aether If you plan on mainly playing Aether, then it's probably a pretty good idea to uninstall from all the unnecessary addons you've accumulated on your time playing. This is super simple, just head to Garry's Mod main menu and click on "Addons". Hardly any of the addons I have installed currently are from Aether, and are likely slowing my game down a ton. To uninstall/unsubscribe from all of these, click the little wrench in the bottom right. Click 'Uninstall All' and then 'Confirm'. Before loading back into Aether, be sure to install Aethers content available here! How to toggle !bodyperms permanently If you suffer from poor internet or just general lag on the server, disabling bodyperms can go a long way. I don't mean the classic !bodyperm command, I mean permanently show NO ONE'S bodyperms. This is possible by entering the following command into console cl_weapon_holsters 0 You can reactive bodyperms permanently using the same command except changing the '0' to a '1'; cl_weapon_holsters 1

If you are leaving because of issues that have never been voiced (to my knowledge) you should voice them so a discussion and resolution can be made.

i'm going to be resigning from staffing as well as playing daily i don't really wanna make this deep or write anything like it matters a whole lot but i figured i should at least make this post to let ppl know i enjoyed our time together but i feel like i'm distracting myself so for that reason i must go i took a little bit to think before making this decision so i'm definite on it at this point, i appreciate you all take care love more

Hello everyone! Just sharing that I am gonna be taking a leave of absence for the next 11 days, and the rest of this weekend I gotta prep for his arrival and sort out some IRL shit. My partner is coming down to visit me for a week, and I want to spend as much time with him as I possibly can. Only like, three of you guys will probably care, but I will be back! Love you all ❤️

I think i should win cause this picture on the home screen would be fire

Hey people, I got bored and decided to make a little 3D Spinning Aether logo using Blender. Hope you like it :)

No more bickering please, this is Baked's staff application thread not the tell each other what we hate about each-other thread.

(Been sitting on this a while. Think it's time I try.) AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): Just Monika, both in game and on Discord Age: 22 Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:94899408 Discord Tag: justmonika.5484 Total Playtime (24 hours/1 day REQUIRED): >Your total time is 2mo 1d 11h 21m. Was around in early 2021-2022, took a long break, came back around September 2023 Timezone: EST Gang Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198150064545/ Times you're most active (If you have a unpredictable schedule let us know): I tend to work evenings on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, and my evening on Sundays are reserved for my partner, but I am usually on from around 3 PM - 1 AM most other days of the week (even on days I work I tend to hop on the server when I get back to chill out after a long day). I am also on most mornings as well. General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: I just wanna help people to put it simply. I have always wanted players to feel welcome into our community, as that is how the community grows. If I were to become staff, I would do what is needed to keep the server as chill as possible so that everyone can have fun. I have also staffed in the past on another server, so I am pretty good at dealing with all sorts of players and also knowing if someone is just on Aether to waste everyone's time or not. Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: I have read the rules of the server and I am confident that I can enforce them in a non-bias manner. Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Guidance is how people learn after all, so yes I would gladly take any advice from other staff if they need to share. Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish 15 sits each week?: I am certain that I can complete the given time and sit commitment for Aether. DarkRP Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: A raid lasts 10 minutes max. 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?: A player must wait 30 minutes to raid the same base again if they die during a raid no matter what. What initiates a raid?: A player can initiate a raid as a raiding class (thief, runner, etc.) by typing "/advert raid" once they find a suitable base to attempt to steal from. If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: As long as the raidables can be reached w/o lockpicking. breach juicing, etc, they are allowed to steal from that players base. Keep your doors locked and this won't happen. Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert raid, but players can have some fun with it so long as the advert clearly defines the type of raid that is about to take place. 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?: Nah. That's just RDM at that point. Fight fair. If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: As long as a raid was announced, no. That counts as failing the raid and you have to find another base or wait out the raid timer. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: While it might be justified to the player who was RDM'd, no. That is Revenge RDM. A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: If a player punches someone, and the person who was punched decided to call a sit, I would claim the ticket to see why the instigator punched someone. Depending on the actions of the instigator, one of two actions would happen. A verbal warn/RIS would be issued if the instigator genuinely didn't mean to punch that player, or a proper written RDM warn would be issued if it was a first offense. List all default Laws of The Land: 1. Raiding and stealing is illegal. 2. Raidables detected by the contrabaned scanner are always illegal 3. Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base defending it. 4. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted How many bases can you own per party?: A party may own one proper base with raidables inside and one RP base. A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Staff have a lot of tools, so it can vary. If a player is constantly running away/killing in a sit, I would freeze them. If a player is mic spamming/chat spamming, a gag/mute would be issued. The sit is gonna be finished one way or another, just depends on how they wanna handle it. Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes. While it is true we all have our own definition of "fun", intentionally ruining other player's experience with the server is not the kind of fun we want to encourage. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: While staff have a lot of tools to make things easier for handling sits, they also have a lot of tools to make unfair. They could give themselves god mode and raid every base on the block. They could constantly fling players around with their phys gun. They could noclip into their own base mid raid to defend. If I saw a staff member abusing their power, I would gather clips if possible and go to those above me to inform them of the abuser's actions. A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: I would ensure that all kills came from the RDMer (asking the victims if they were messing around or if it was some random guy killing), pull them to a sit, deal with the player however is needed (freezing, muting, etc.) and issue a warning for MRDM. Depending on how many times they have been warned for this action, the length of the ban could vary. For a first offense, it would be a 3 day ban minimum. A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: I would simply inform the mayor that they aren't allowed to have a lockdown without a proper reason. If they comply, no need to write a warning. A warning would be written if the Mayor refuses to listen otherwise.

AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name: Jared Age: 20 Steam ID: 76561198135493762 STEAM_0:0:87614017 Discord Tag: bubba9068 Total Playtime: Your total time is 8mo 6d 7h 30m Timezone: EST Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/shminkydinky/ Times you're most active: 4:30PM - 10:00PM Monday-Friday 4:30PM-12:00AM on weekends. General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: I would contribute to Aether by being a responsible and active staff member, doing my best to maintain the integrity of Aether and ensure that it's a safe, fun, and fair environment for all. I also enjoy helping new players, whether they are completely new to dark-rp or just new to Aether, I'd help them the best I can Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?:Yes I have read the rules fully, and I'm comfortable enforcing the rules because I'm confident I know them. Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Absolutely, anyone who is a higher ranking than me could tell me what I'm doing wrong. I encourage higher ups to criticize and correct my behavior as I would like to be the best staff member I can be 🙂 Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish 15 sits each week?: I am certain I can fulfill those requirements. DarkRP Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: Raids can last a maximum of 10 minutes with the timer starting as soon as they send /advert Raid 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?: There is a 30 minute cooldown on raiding the same base. What initiates a raid?: A raid is initiated by doing /advert Raid . A valid raid advert must have "Raid" as the first word. Or if raiding the Bank or PD, you must specify which one and then raid. Examples /advert Bank Raid /advert PD Raid. If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: Yes, the player can steal if their current job is one that can raid/steal and they didn't use any raid tools or abuse game mechanics to get inside the base. Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert 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 are not allowed to kill them in that instance. You could kill them once you advert raid and they are within mic distance, a raid has to begin before you can start any combat with the base owner or his/her party members. If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: It depends on the specifics. If you are the raider and get arrested you may not return because once you are arrested that would immediately end the raid and start your 30 minute cooldown for that specific base. If you are being raided by the PD and as a base owner get arrested, you may return and defend your base and illegals after your arrest and NLR timers are over. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: I'd say it depends. If they kill you you're absolutely not allowed to kill them back, and you should make the appropriate sit. But if they intentionally hurt you without killing you, the player then has the right to defend themselves with force. A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: I would treat it as any other RDM sit. Depending on warn history, the instigator would receive a warn/jail/ban. List all default Laws of The Land: Raiding and stealing is illegal Raidables detected by the contraband scanner are always illegal Harming players is illegal unless you are inside your base defending it Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted How many bases can you own per party?: A party can have 1 base with raidables/illegal items and 1 RP base. for a total of 2 bases. A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Depending on how uncooperative the player is, I would gag/mute them then if necessary I would freeze them and continue with the sit as normal. Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Definitely. If determined it has been intentional and targeted I would consider it harassment and punish them starting with a verbal/written warning if its their first offense and then escalating accordingly. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: There are many ways a staff member could abuse their powers. For example, they could be extra lenient on a friends warning, not punishing them appropriately. Punishing someone too harshly because of a personal grudge. Hiding raidables in adminland...etc A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: I would teleport them to adminland and freeze them, stopping any future harm. First I'd check their warns, I would then punish them (based on their history). If decided they were mass rdming they would be punished accordingly and obviously I would ask for an extension on ban from a higher up if needed. A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: I would first go to them asking for the reason behind the lockdown, and if they could turn it off. If they aren't cooperating and its determined there isn't a valid reason I would turn off the lockdown and warn them for job abuse.

made this a while ago and forgot to finish lol enjoy

FAQ What's the best money making job? This is probably the most frequent question asked by a new player, and the simple answer is all of them! Just at different times, the way Aether works is we circulate different types of job boosts to motivate players to do different things throughout the weeks! One week, Meth Heads might have a significant boost making them better than all the rest, and then the next it might be Bitcoin. This keeps players involved with all jobs on the server, and maybe even your favorite job will be boosted next! What is a Aether Shard? An Aether Shard can be considered as a "pity currency", meaning if you buy enough crates and receive enough Aether Shards you will eventually be able to outright buy a Limited from the Aether Shard Vendor instead of taking your chances with unboxing it. There is many crates that Aether Shards have a way higher chance than anything else, so how long it takes to save up enough shards is dependent on how often you try to unbox items! What are Aether Bucks (AB)? Aether Bucks are a passively earned currency that changes depending on your prestige level. This currency can be traded from player-to-player, spent on !unbox and/or !shop. The rate that you earn Aether Bucks are constantly changing depending on what kind of boosts are active, you can check which type of boosts are turned on in-game, or via the Discord Announcements channel. What is a casino reset? Naturally a Casino Reset will revert your gambling limit so that you may continue to gamble. These are very common in !unbox or easily purchased from other players. After you equip it from !unbox menu, it'll be sent to your 'Inventory' swep found in slot 1 of your hotbar which you can then drop and push E to pickup. Once you're level 400+, a casino reset will always reset your daily wheelspin but will not increase your 10 spin limit per day. So you can only use casino resets to spin again 10 times. What is a Aether orb? An Aether Orb is an entity you'll eventually come across in !unbox. After you equip it from !unbox menu, it'll be sent to your 'Inventory' swep found in slot 1 of your hotbar which you can then drop and push E to pickup. Each Aether Orb gives the player who 'eats' it +750AB. Where do I find a free, legal base? Whether you're new, or just not that interested into building bases, we've got the solution for you. Thanks to @Donnie for creating this completely safe and moderated Google Drive full of bases. If you're not Premium or Builder, don't worry there is still plenty of dupes for you to use, you just have to look for them! Get free dupes here! What is prestiging? In order to prestige, you must be at least 'level 350' and have '250M DarkRP' cash. Clicking the Prestige option will then remove the necessary amount of Cash, and deduct 350 levels total. You will now rise in Prestige count, offering many rewards and possibilities like; more passive AB, prestige exclusive jobs, and many other perks available/yet to come. What are perks, and how do I see/use them? These perks can range from Bonus XP all the way up to exclusive Discord Roles. Use !levels in-game to see the full list of opportunities, and stay on the hunt for XP Orbs if these perks seem helpful to you! How to disable sitting If you are getting annoyed by random people always trying to sit on your head in-game, you can easily disable this for yourself. All you have to do is go to the GMod Console using '~' key and enter; Disable Sitting sitting_disallow_on_me 0 Enable Sitting sitting_disallow_on_me 1 What is/How to use '!weaponproperties'? '!weaponproperties' opens up a UI that lets you customize your weapon loadout to your liking. You can edit the slot positioning of each weapon you own or entirely remove that weapon from your loadout if you don't want it shown. For example, if you want your favorite gun at the top of slot 4 simply type !weaponproperties, click on that weapon, and adjust "Slot" to 4 and "Slot Position" to 1 and click save. Once you respawn that gun will now be at the very top of slot 4. You can also use this menu to remove weapons/items you don't use. Say you never use the kiss swep or weapons that are automatically given to a job, simply open the !weaponproperties menu, click on whatever you don't use, and check off the "Enabled" box and click save. These settings will be saved permanently. If you ever want to revert your changes click on whatever item you modified, press "Set Defaults" and then save, and the original positioning will be restored.

Over the past few months, I have been working alongside @Jouaram to create an accurate and extensive list of item counts for every Limited. I am pleased to announce that the list is now fully complete. Every single item count in this comprehensive list was personally provided by Jouaram. The primary motivation behind my commitment to making this detailed spreadsheet is to offer a reliable resource for players. Many players, especially those looking to sell items or buy items, often find themselves uncertain about the worth of their possessions. By making this information readily accessible, I aim to empower these players with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their items’ values. This effort is intended to enhance the overall trading experience within the community, ensuring that all players have a clear understanding of what their items are worth. *here is the link to the spreadsheet* any questions dm me on discord "havoclovesmoney"

hi yes i return ez money i win these i hope to begin staffing again soon after gettin sum activity in and meetin all the new peeps who joined since i left much love and peace to all, i hope to meet soon 😀

Hello my friends, due to a lack of income and me losing my job about a month ago, come this Friday I am going to be homeless and living out of my car for an unknown amount of time. I am hoping I will be able to figure something out relatively quick but I'm unsure that I will. I am not leaving the server permanently, but I will be unable to play for an unknown amount of time until I'm able to save some money and find somewhere new to reside. I will remain active on forums and anyone can reach out to me if they need any help. I hope to see you all soon! 🙂❤️

I'm not completely sure when I'll be back, but there's a couple things going on irl that make it nearly impossible for me to be able to get on the server so I feel like I've got to post this. I've loved my time with Aether, I've made countless friends; some that I'll probably still talk too. Countless hours into reviews, mentees, and staffing overall was genuinely fun to me. I loved that I could logon and talk to so many different types of people at once, truly is an amazing experience when you look at it the right way. The longstanding members of the staff team have became some sort of a second family to me, I wish them all the best and hope we can still keep in touch. You all truly made a difference in my life. 😘

If so, what?: Not that I'm aware of no. How long can you guarantee you'll keep consistent activity for?: indefinitely. Are you currently happy with your activity on the server and Forums as a player?: Yes, I have been checking forums everyday even when I left the server aswell. Do you believe you deserve to hold the rank you're going back to and the responsibility's that come with it?: Of Course! How many hours can you play per week on average at this current time?: 30s as an estimate, more than enough for minimum. Have you read the most up to date rules and Staff Handbook?: Yes, I know they are being rewritten as I'm posting this also. Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish at least 50 sits every 2 weeks?: more than certain! Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: 10 Minutes to get in, do a lil shootin and scootin, and get out. 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?: That life is over baby! They gotta wait 30 minutes to raid that base again or 20 minutes for PD and Bank. What initiates a raid?: A Valid Raid Advert, those fancy ones are no no, keep it simple! If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: A player can steal ONLY if 2 things are true, they have a job that says "can Steal" and if they get to the raidables WITHOUT having to use any raid tools. Example being open doors and nothing between you and those tasty raidables. Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert Raid, /advert PD Raid, /advert Hit Raid, /advert Bank 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?: Nope, you have to advert FIRST and once you do ONLY if that owner is in interfering distance or trying to stop you then you can get a sick headshot to add to your MLG compilation. If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: No, that raid is over, you are a new soul. you gotta wait that timer for that base and you cannot go back and assist, that was the old you.. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: NO! You will get a revenge RDM warn, report that to staff to handle or use the player report system on forums if no staff are on. A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: I would issue an RDM warning assuming logs show atleast 1 damage was done to the victim and it was not for a valid RP scenario. Adjusting the warn based off PWs but starting with Written Warning for first offence. 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 defending bases. Shooting dangerous weapons in public is illegal. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted. Laws can be enforced with KOS if a players life is in danger. Non-default Laws must be things that players choose to do. Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are disallowed. The Mayor can choose to make dangerous weapons legal or illegal. How many bases can you own per party?: 1 Base Per Party! A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Gag, Mute, and Freezing would be used depending on severity. Taking charge of the sit in vital in this situation and in rare cases they can be warned for refusing to listen. Keeping the player from shooting, screaming, and spamming slurs would be my main priority if they are to that point, if they were not showing any signs of RPing on the serve I would issue NITRP aswell. Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, NITRP would be used in this case. Mingey and Trolling behavior is to be corrected if possible. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: Purposefully using God in RP to get an edge up on players and win raids, I would note this in logs and clips and send it to higher ups right away. We have to be fair and not power hungry as staff or it creates a very poor environment for everyone. A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?:Bring them asap and freeze them, if unsure I would bring atleast 3 victims to confirm they were RDM'd by the player and confirm that in logs. Then I would issue the ban depending on PWs (first being 3 days) and put the warn in. Next would be assisting the victims with lost weapons. A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: If mayor has not offered an explanation or its gone past 10 minutes I would ask them why the lockdown is up or to end it. If they refuse after this then I can do the not so fun fun demotion and filing a warning for Job Abuse. Mayor must state the reason for the lockdown and give a 10 second start for players to get inside. Extra Comments: Hey I did the thing, thank you for the fun times as staff before and the fun times currently as a player. you guys are all family to me and I love and care for each of you! Jouaram tricked me into coming back with my model and my cousin being on the staff team has really gave me more motivation for returning. Either way ill still be here, being a Raven. caw caw.

I think I like this place. Yeah, thanks ThiccYe for showing me the cool spot. I made a cool build.

I really think you have made good on pretty much everything you said you would change. You mentioned that you were going to get your activity back up to where it was previously was which I have seen as well as trackable on gamestracker that you have been incredibly active in the server. I also have not seen you been remotely toxic or anything that would indicate that behavior, I also have seen you go out of your way to help other players and for that I am willing to change my vote +1

AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): GTA V (Job Name) and Joe Nuts Age: 23 Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:49183091 Discord Tag: Joe Nuts#6969 Total Playtime (48 hours/2 days REQUIRED): 1w 1d Timezone: EST Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/eternalreaper123/home Times you're most active (If you have a unpredictable schedule let us know): My schedule is pretty much unpredictable as of now. As of now, I will be able to make a lot of time, but there will be times where I need to focus on myself which includes work, vacation, and/or trying to get the job I worked very hard for. Recently, had a family member pass away which explains the time I was out for a few days around 9/25-9/26. General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: I can provide moderation in times where there could be nobody else online to help out. I look forward to training others with the necessary skills it would take to moderate the server. I want to get to know the staff team more because out of all the servers I have played, this staff team is the most unbiased, respectable, outstanding staff team I have seen as of yet. I definitely made some mistakes on my last few staff applications but I own up to my mistakes and I become a better person as a result of them. 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, even if I, for some reason I am unaware of, don't respect them as a person, I have to respect them as my higher-up or as another staff member on the team. Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week?: Yes DarkRP Rule Questions Raids can last how long?: 10 minutes after a /advert 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?: 30 minutes. What initiates a raid?: Advertising it using /advert raid or using the police scanner tool to create the automatic advert if it detects any illegal raidable items that automatically warrants the player. If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: It depends on what job you are playing as (if it says you can steal or not). They are allowed to steal without adverting as long as they didn't use raid tools to get where the raidables are. Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert Raid, /advert raid assist, /advert pd raid, /advert pd raid assist, /advert bank raid, /advert bank raid assist. 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 haven't announced your intentions at this moment, therefore you aren't allowing them to react to what you're about to do. You also have no reason to kill them as of yet as it would be considered RDM since you haven't advertised your raid yet. If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: No, because the RP scenario between you and that cop ended entirely. You now MUST wait the 30 minute timer. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: No, you can absolutely expect repercussions for killing anybody for no reason even if it was someone who initiated the deathmatch onto you, this action is called revenge RDM and is definitely able to be punishable. A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: If it's a first time offence I would verbally warn them, if it's a multiple offence, I would refer to the staff handbook if I have any questions on what the next step should be for this person. There is also the option where if the player who got punched does not want to have the person punished, it can be considered resolved in sit (RIS). If they want the player punished, I could warn them for RDM, minge, NITRP. I would specify the issue in the warn by typing punching and running away from individuals unprovoked. List all default Laws of The Land: These Laws are active 24/7 with or without a Mayor and cannot be changed/modified. The Police Department does not have to follow laws related to shooting, harming and raiding when enforcing laws. Raiding and stealing is illegal. Entities detected by the contraband scanner are illegal. Harming players is illegal unless you are defending bases. Shooting dangerous weapons in public is illegal. Laws can be enforced with KOS if the player is wanted. Laws can be enforced with KOS if a players life is in danger. Non-default Laws must be things that players choose to do. Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are disallowed. The Mayor can choose to make dangerous weapons legal or illegal. How many bases can you own per party?: Only 1 base per party A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: I would bring them back into the admin sit and freeze them if they are just suiciding or running away. If they're mic spamming then I would mute/gag them until I can get the problem situated. I am able to just utilize the logs and investigate based off of what the person who made the admin request says and what I see in the logs list if I can't get the side of the story out of the person that was reported. Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, this is known as harassment and it is most definitely punishable. I can warn them for no intention to roleplay if they're doing nothing but causing problems. It also depends on what they are doing to specify what type of rule they are breaking and what warn they would receive. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: Examples include but not limited to: A staff member using noclip to get into a base during a raid or to steal raidable items, giving false warns, and letting sits slide by a trial by deathmatch. I would have the situation recorded and send it to my higher-ups because this behavior is extremely abusive and unacceptable and leaves a bad impression on the staff team. A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: I would quickly assess the situation first by teleporting to the player to see if there is a good reason for it, (it could be a normal raid, PD raid, or bank raid for example). If what I assess is legitimately mass RDM and multiple reports come through about it, I would immediately teleport to them and freeze them, or bring them to !adminland and freeze them. I would see if they have any previous warns and refer to the staff handbook to see what the next step I should take in punishing this person would be. I believe it goes to a ban for 3d first offense, 1w second offense, 2w second offense, and possible permanent fourth offense. A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: I would ask why they initiated it to begin with, if there is no reason I would demand that he takes off the lockdown and tell him if he doesn't he will get demoted from mayor. If he still refuses to take the lockdown off, I would demote the mayor for failRP. Extra Comments: My name's Joe Nuts. You guys aren't getting rid of me that easily. I'm very stubborn.❤️
