    Also im pretty sure jouaram has stated that he plans to implement a system in which the booster gets % profit from the boosties 

    this would be amazing. -1 for the original post because of things that have already been stated. +1 for this idea ^ of the boosters getting a kickback from the boosties

    General Questions

    • How can you contribute to Aether?: I think I would be able to positively contribute to the community as staff because I really enjoy playing on this server and I want to see it thrive and as staff I would be able to do my part to help keep it a great server to be on. I enjoy helping people and I think it would be awesome to get to help people understand the rules on the server, keep the “riff-raff” out, and be there when a person has questions for things that may not be clear to them, or just be there to give them advice or tips and tricks for newer players. There are many grey areas that I have noticed in the server and I would like to try to help contribute to making there be less of those. I know that that can be done as a regular player but I feel that you get a better understanding as a staff member. I know how to listen and I think I know how to be rational with decisions when it comes to punishments and corrective actions. 
    • Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Absolutely. Im sure there are somethings that I don’t know, which is probably the usual for most people that are trying to become staff, and that’s one of the many reasons I would like to become a staff member.
    • Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Absolutely. 
    • Are you certain you will be able to staff for several hours a week?: Absolutely. 

    DarkRP Rule Questions

    • Raids can last how long?: 10 minutes.
    • What initiates a raid?: To initiate a raid you must say “/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. That would be considered RDM. 
    • List all default Laws of The Land: 
    • -drugs, explosives and money printers are illegal 
      -bitcoin racks are illegal - the big ones, small ones are legal 
      -raiding is illegal
      -harming other players is illegal except for base defense 
      -making life threats is illegal
      -having a gun license makes all holstered weapons legal for the player 
      -its illegal to kidnap/steal/hurt someone else 
      -useof dangers weapons in public is illegal 
      -laws must be enforced with AOS unless the player is wanted or the officers life is in danger then the officer can enforce with KOS 
      -laws that bait kills are not allowed.
      -non default laws have to be things that a player has to go out of their way to do. 
    • 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?: 
    • if a player was refusing to cooperate with me, there are many ways that someone could do this but we’ll say that the player is mic spamming and not listening in the sit. I would mute/gag the player and then I would tell them that they need to stop what they’re doing and that they should take this more serious and explain that if they do not they they might not have a chance to explain their side of the story to possibly not be punished for whatever reason brought them to the sit. then I would explain the sit to them and then I would unmute/ungag them and if they became cooperative, situation over, if they were still uncooperative I would mute/gag again, then most likely depending on the scenario give them another chance to calm down and if they do not I would then say that their chance to explain their side of a story was over and proceed with punishment for whatever they did to get into the sit in the first place. Then unmute/ungag them again.
    • Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: 
    • I think there are variables left out that make this question a little difficult to have a great answer or maybe I’m just overthinking it but I would say, if a player is repeatedly (more than ONE time) ruining other players time, even if they say its out of fun, that they can be punished for toxicity or harassment depending on the situation. What is fun to this player could be irritating/miserable for other players and the player that is “having fun” should be punished. I would say if it is only one time to tell the player to stop and explain it to them and if they continue to do it then go ahead with the punishment.
    • Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it: 
    • No-clipping to see in or around a base and then raiding after they see the base lay out.
    • if I was staff and saw another staff member doing this I would immediately clip the incident if seen and I would escalate the situation to a higher up staff member and I would provide them with the information and clips I have taken.
    • A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?:
    • if I had seen a player MRDMing or had gotten a report of a player MRDMing I would immediately freeze them (i would only freeze if still RDMing) and pull them into a sit and talk to them to try and figure out what was happening. If it was just blatant MRDM I would give them a 3 day ban.
    • A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?:
    • I would pull the mayor to a sit and try to see why they won’t turn it off. Then I would try to explain to them that what they’re doing in my eyes is job abuse and that it is punishable. Then I would ask him that if I were to return him would he turn the lockdown off? if he says yes and did turn it it off then situation over. If he says no / gets returned and does not turn it off I would then look into their previous warns and punish them accordingly. (If it’s actually not job abuse then I would punish them for the correct thing, but that would be something I seek to learn as staff)

    Extra Comments:

    Thank you for taking the time to read my staff app! 

    if my name is something that I would need to change in order to become staff I can certainly do that and I do not want that to be something that holds me back. 

    Issues with the "Hunters Bow"

    This is coming from someone who doesn't even own the weapon itself, but if I did..I would be fine with better range for reduced damage...but at the end of the day, I guess it is just a gimmicky weapon to play around with

    i would be okay with an upgrade in range with a slight decrease in damage. with it doing 150 damage i feel like thats def a fair trade off, but i cant speak for the other people that have one.

    If I make it a solid option for use in combat it becomes a permanent weapon and increases the ceiling for future weapons requiring me to release a new and stronger weapon next time


    maybe we could put very limited attachments on it, one of them being a +50% range upgrade but with a -25% damage cost? maybe the upgrade could be under "ammo type", idk how changeable the attachments are but you could call it like "fiberglass arrows" them being light gives the range upgrade but being fragile gives them the damage loss.  🧠 🤷‍♂️  🤔
     

    Issues with the "Hunters Bow"

    Suggestion: fix "issues" with the hunters bow. (severe arrow drop off / arrows getting stuck in fences / stutter when walking and running)

    Link To Relevant Addons: N/A

    Media/Screenshots/Videos: will provide below.

    How will this improve the quality of Aether?: so i recently unboxed the hunters bow and have been playing around with it and have notices a few significant setbacks. which imo 2 of the 3 make it very impractical to use.

     

    we'll start with # 1 - severe arrow drop off.
    im not saying it should shoot like a laser beam but i feel that a little more range would make this so much better. maybe 50% more? (IRL this is a compound bow and would get better range than this, i also get this isnt IRL but 🤷‍♂️) this is one of the things that makes me feel like its just a cool cosmetic item rather than a practical weapon. this does not really need much more explanation, i will provide a video of the drop off and we can let that talk for itself.

    #2 - the arrows seem to get stuck in fences and also the window in PD that you are able to shoot through.
    you can see that in the video the arrows are much smaller than the holes in the fence and would clearly be able to pass through it. here is a video of shooting at both fences and also the window in PD. i dont know if this is just something small what was possibly overlooked or something that comes with it shooting the arrows which are visible but this is the other thing that i feel makes it more of just a cool cosmetic item rather than a practical weapon.

    will attach the video of shooting it out of the PD window in the comments below, i believe i have hit the limit

     

    #3 - when walking or running with the bow your screen will stutter a slight bit.
    this isnt really a big issue and is more of a QoL thing with the bow, and it might be unfixable because it could just be the way it is but i figured its worth a shot to call it out in case it is something that is fixable. this doesnt really need muck more explanation and here is the video.

     

     

    If the bow was just meant to be more of a cool cosmetic item and thats the reason for all of this then i understand, i just wanna call this stuff out in case it was more meant to be used as a weapon.

    Thanks for giving this a read and for your time!

    Counter raid cool-down.

    So yeah

    No, he's suggesting that if Group A raids a base and Group B counters the raid. That Group B must wait a timer before countering another one of Group A's raids.

    Yeah this is exactly what I’m talking about and well I don’t think it would be too complicated because when someone counter raids they have to advert so if there was a let’s say 10 minute cool down, Group A raids a base and then group B counters. they would have to advert counter raid (which in the chat is all time stamped obv) so then once that’s over if group A moves on to another base within that 10 minute cool down on group B and then Group B tries to counter again group A would be able to look at the time that group B adverted counter for the first one and then make a sit if they saw that it was within that 10 minute cool down. And then the admins could just also look at the time frame between the adverts in chat and see if it was within the cool down or not. I think yes it could get a little messy if group B doesn’t advert but as long as they advert counter raid as they should then it shouldn’t be messy at all. As Toby was saying that I agree with is raiding is already a problem and I just feel that this is just another thing that someone can take advantage of to make it even worse. I also understand that it probably isn’t often that things like this will happen but I have a feeling that if it’s happened once it’s going to happen again and it was super shitty that there isn’t a rule about it and I would honestly feel bad for other people especially someone newer to the server to have to deal with that as well. raiding is hard enough as it is with the way people make intricate bases that way they can just go like half AFK and only have to do something when they have to give their Bitcoin farm attention or defend their base. Sorry I went off on a slight tangent there but I feel it adds some valid points. 
     

    TLDR - as long as the people in group A and group B advert their raids and counter raids properly it shouldn’t be that complicated because chat has time stamps.
     

    possibly an even better option as Toby stated is to not allow counter raids on base raids and to only allow them on PD and bank raids. 
     

    Sorry this is so long but I thoroughly enjoy playing on this server and it really pisses me off when people take advantage of things just to shit on other players or to make them miserable. 
     

    thanks for the read and thanks for your time!

    Suggestion: Add a counter raid cool-down just like how there is a raid cool-down.

    Link To Relevant Addons: N/A

    Media/Screenshots/Videos: N/A

    How will this improve the quality of Aether?: There should be a counter raid cool down like there is a raid cool down. The reason im suggesting this is because me and my friends were raiding bases and we raided some guys and beat them, then they became thieves as well and were watching us and every time that we tried to raid after that they would wait until we were in the middle of fighting the base owner, to counter raid against us and kill us. Targeting us simply out of spite and abusing the fact that there is no counter raid cool-down.

    could always use the Default DarkRP Pocket swep witch drops items on death. Would be easy to set up simply make a whitelist. Only issue is when you pick up a item with pockets Say a printer for example The player could re-buy that printer and have a duplicate. I think there's a way to fix that but not 100% sure.a

    Player/Staff You Are Reporting's Name: xd darrenwingers

    Is This Complaint For A Staff Member Or Player?: PLAYER

    Reason For Complaint: i joined the server and bought a tommy gun and attachments from the hallway right outside of spawn and didn't put the tommy gun away because i am lazy. So i'm walking down the street and am waking up to PD to see the laws like i usually do if there's a mayor when i get on the server and i get smoked by xd darrenwingers sitting in the mayors office window. So i suspect that there may be a law against guns out so i spawn and then go to the law board as soon as i stop to read them i get killed again from him in the mayors office and i didn't even have a chance to read the laws. so i spawn for the 3rd time, buy a tommy gun and attachments and then walk over to the law board, i get to read the laws and see that there is no laws from the mayor, so i make a sit, and then i get killed for a third time. During these 3 RDM kills i saw that it was not just me who he was killing. I have the 3rd time he RDMd me clipped and i will attach it here. Tango took my sit, watched the clip, looked at the logs, and said that "08:20:07 PM 🔹 TangoDown: so for right now I can't prove that the law wasn't there so were just gonna proceed as if it didn't happen and I'll be trying to watch". Tango said that the law board can glitch and i might not see the laws, but my friend also looked at the board and saw that there were no laws. While in OOC xd darrenwingers was saying that having guns out is kos is a default law so i do not believe it was glitching.

    So would like to say its both fail RP and RDM because this rule states "Laws must be enforced with AOS instead of KOS unless the Police Officers life is in danger or the player is wanted." and based on that rule, him sitting in the mayors office, sniping people, instead of trying to make an arrest is blatant fail RP and should also be RDM.

    In the video you can see the laws scroll down to the end then scroll back up, so its not even like there were laws that i did not get to see.
