+/- Waiting for @Pooshito respond.

+1: I've had a couple interactions with you and the application is pretty good as well as your time.

I'm +/- because there will always be one person to get away with breaking rules. I like the idea of getting party members or just yourself to have a big gun fight over loot but I can see people trying to also use this as a reason to follow players there just to kill them and then not even take the loot. There's just some negatives and positives in the way you go about this. Because sometimes I will be flat out broke and this could help me/others get extra money. Then there is the new players who will not have read the rules most likely and break rules like NLR for this. And if your items get stolen by someone breaking the rules there is a chance they wont give it back even if in a sit. 

Then they get punished accordingly like any other rule breaker and like any other situation on the server. If someone follows u there i mean who cares people would obviously know if there being followed, the fights only start in that certain area. The kos zone will be designated in a certain place where the airdrop lands. Anyways we could always take a slow approach in the beginning like a couple staff cloaked and spectating the air drop fight go down just to see how it goes.

Unless You or someone can come up with some way to make this Not a cluster fuck of RDM/Prop Block

Thats just our job as staff tho. The server is usually an rdm/prop block cluster fuck anyways so what is your point. This is for the people; people need shit to do instead of just farming money for cases and perms. A lot of stuff in suggestions are just minor shit that new people wouldn't even notice we need something that brings people back a lot more.

Suggestion: Air Drops

Link To Relevant Addons: I believe there are quite a bit of air drop addons (whatever is more popular we would pick)

Media/Screenshots/Videos: NA

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: I feel in general the server needs more fun and this would do it. It would get people outta there bases and go with their party or solo and have massive gun fights with other people for loot. NLR would apply and the air drop should have a designated drop zone like an island or something so there outta the way of the rest of players and so logs aren't confusing. Also not saying the loot has to be anything special maybe a couple mil, guns etc but its more for the people to have fun.

I feel airdrops would add more excitement. They could be kos zones so fights would break out around them, people would go with their party or solo it would create these intense battles to fight over loot, it would also give something extra for the police to try and stop while there just sitting doing nothing. 

Btw sorry for not responding sooner i was watching "The Good Doctor" (very good show btw) 

Yes, I agree the ban should be shortened that is my mistake I wish you woulda reached out to me or creed first so we could have shortened it sooner. I hope to see you in the next 2 days.

General Questions

How can you contribute to Aether?: I feel i can contribute in many ways for example: I can understand when someone may be new and not understand whats going on which in that case I will enforce and teach as much as possible. I am on for mostly the whole day and night which i think is a big deal especially at night I feel most staff go AFK quite a bit at night so I will be there to ensure all players are having fun and to deal with mingers, rdmers etc that other staff may miss.

A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: Depending if i gave them a warning beforehand id say a few hours or more.

A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: Honestly, Id just demote and give a warning for not obeying staff.

I appreciate you, thank you for your time!!

so i see you don’t really understand how play time affects your ability as a staff and i’m gonna kinda break it down for you! More play time is really for other staff to spectate you and see how you preform as a normal player, find out if your toxic, easily angered, racist, a minge, that sorta stuff. It also helps the staff team form a bond with you, a lot of the staff are friends with each other before they even got staff which leads to a healthier staff team overall. And we like staff on aether to be pretty well known in the community. It helps when you know the people your staffing! Also, with the more playtime you have on the server, the more you get used to the rules and aethers vibe overall! There is actually alot of reasons playtime is a positive! 

And having a nice filled out application just looks nice, it shows that you really want the position you applying for! Slim apps just look like there wasn’t much effort or thought out into it! 

Also also, instead of arguing with other people who comment on your app, try to take their criticism and improve on it! Your comments just seem rather hostile and aggressive, so i recommend just reading what they have to say and being like “ah got it! Now i know what i need to work on”! and if you have any questions about their comment that’s when I would reply!! 

Hopefully this helped you understand a little bit more why people are saying what they are saying! Good luck on your application! 

Yes, i do agree and I also liked how you wrote so much I really do appreciate it, I will have more play time in a week i am very layed back as i said in my app and I really do hope you guys spectate me and see how I am with people and I did not take any of the comments hostile its a game and we are typing on a forum rn how could I be hostile or take anything hostile. And i love criticism as i said before as well I want to learn and take advantage of the opportunity to become trial mod. Also I know it would look nice to add more words but its not necessary to add a couple more sentences instead of getting right to the point, I added more to something when i thought it was necessary when i thought was a bigger question. I hope I can be trial mod cause ik i can do good and benefit this community.

I know I can do good as a trial mod and I wanna learn, in 7 seven days I will most definitely have a lot more hours so it comes down to what i said in my app

Because we want to see good and consistent activity before accepting you. And when you have playtime you are more likely to make friends and get community support which is necessary if you want to be accepted.

-1 for now based on playtime and low effort answers
