The way she described it for me was a system that works like the party system but you stay in it after rejoining.

 

Like clans or factions minus all the extra bits. Just a system for people to keep grouped up and maybe used for RP scenarios.

Im up for a basic system like that 

Yes!

We’ve tried this before and while it was a big hit, it was a huge hit on performance and I personally felt it was way too clique-y

That's understandable, do you think there could be a non-clique-y way to go about it possibly? Any further opinion on that, or resolve?

Yes, I do want it to be balanced and fair for all. So hopefully a compromise could be made to make everyone happy and feel safe within the rules, and basing.

Up for discussion, only allowed to be in one faction at a time. If you leave the current faction wait, three days or so before hopping to another faction.

AetherNetwork Suggestion

Suggestion: Another system along with the party system.

Link To Relevant Addons: No Relevant Links

Media/Screenshots/Videos: "a group or clique within a larger group, party, government, organization, or the like."

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: How this "could" improve the quality of AethereNetworks in-game, is honestly up for debate. The party system is good for making new friends and testing the waters with players for a few hours of basing. This system would be perma unless they leave. Although this will create a new set of rules in the rule book. I feel it would possibly be benefiting to those who always base together, always are the same job, etc. Restrictions, staff can't be in Factions (due to biased or other underlying issues.) But they could party with the faction owner or second in command? I feel like this system could be up for discussion, so comment below your thoughts on this and how it could help out the AetherNetwork community!

AetherNetwork Suggestion

Suggestion: Party Limit Upped

Link To Relevant Addons: No Relevant Link

Media/Screenshots/Videos: 6 party members, but 8 on door.
 

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: How this will improve the server, and servers environment is giving the players the security of being in a party. A lot of people see the gray area of the party system, and the door system. With this being said what I am proposing is the party limit being up. I have spoken with a lot of players that I have based with, and a few players I have never based with. There was a lot of mixed reviews on my opinion of the party system being upped, some never used it also so they have no opinion currently. I'm bringing it to the forms now for it to be fully reviewed. So although when you have a door you can add whoever to the door and they can base with you a lot of people feel more secure being in a party. If they are on the door can they defend the base without being in the party? And is there a limit on how many people can be on the door, and defending? We would feel safer with being able to be in a party all times, and the limit being upped. Also if you don't have a door then you have to have everyone in a party and the limit is only six, and if there's a lot of people that want to party or base with you you can't allow anymore. In the rules it states that everyone basing must be on the doors, but if you are in the party you cannot steal from party members; does that apply for people on the doors? There's such a big gray area in this situation and a lot of people feel like the party is a safety net for them and everyone involved in a base. Also saves a lot of sits or misunderstandings. A lot of players are looking to compromise on what the limit will be up to so I will not state a limit, but I’ll give my limit opinion. I feel the limit should at least be minimum 10, max 15. So in the comments below, tell me what your limit would be. This does not mean multiple bases, multiple readable bases, or megabases. People just want to be in a party to feel more secure. That is all there is to it, nothing more. Players are willing to compromise to have more of the security within the basing gameplay.

If possible it would be nice, there would need to be a new interface made that suits the server, that might take a while, and that’s if the body perms stay, they got removed at first because they caused too much lag

Of course if it takes time, we would all wait patiently. Plus it could cause less lag! (the possibility is there)

AetherNetwork Suggestion
 

Suggestion: Choosing which bodyperms are shown.

Link To Relevant Addons: [LINK] I don't have a relevant link, sorry.

Media/Screenshots/Videos: Example of some people and myself with looking kinda crazy with a lot of bodyperms.

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: How this would improve the quality of AetherNetworks in-game, is giving the players a choice. Choice in in what and about what? Well so glad you asked! It's a choice in which weapons or items they want shown as bodyperms. As some players within the community may find this cool showing off everything, some might only wanna show off a few items that match their "aesthetic." I love the bodyperms, it's fun and fresh.. but chaotic to me having everything shown at once. In my case, I love the color pink! I'd love to only have my syringe,and my heart staff shown. Also, I know you may be asking.. "Fang just unequip stuff." I enjoy having a lot of my things if not all equipped. Although it's a pain in the butt when finding a specific weapon or item, I still love it. But, for myself I'd love a choice in if I wanted all my bodyperms shown, some shown, or none shown. If this is a possibility, I hope it's considered!

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion ❤️ Have a nice day ❤️

General Questions

• How can you contribute to Aether?: Although I haven’t been a part of the AetherNetwork community. I’m positive, I’ve connected with most of the community who(s) active during the normal times I’m active. I have a fun side, which helps engage players and other staff within game play. But, I have a serious side (not too serious) but enough in which I believe it to be helpful to the staff team. As I stated in my last application, I have a lot of experience. My experience extends to being on the wrong side of staff in my early days of Garry’s Mod, and the good side were I was staff on multiple server(s) at different times of course because you aren’t allowed to multi staff unless it’s in different games. Besides that point. I know both struggles, although I’m not on the wrong side anymore (fingers crossed.) I wanna help those that understand that there’s more than causing issues within such a loving, and fun community like AetherNetworks. This is one of the first DarkRP servers in a long time that I’ve felt like a player, and safe to just BUILD. The staff help protect player(s) game play experience and the environment within the Aether Networks community. I’d love to be a part of such a hard working team, and help out in places some can’t or even during times some staff aren’t available. I feel I have the helpful energy, and pleasant personally to help out in sit situations. (and plenty of situations to come my way.) Although I’m not perfect, no one is, I’m always learning to grow and adapt when it’s needed.
   

• Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Yes, although my problem last time was I misunderstood a few rules. (KOS sign, and a couple issues in-game in which I got answers to and noted) I do read over them when I have any questions, or double check with staff. I’ve been working very hard to remember the rules and understand them to my fullest extent. I’m not a robot, so I won’t fully remember them, which is why I have the tab pinned on my google chrome and bookmarked within a AetherNetwork folder inside my Garry’s Mod bookmarks folder. (Very organized wow)
   

• Are you willing to listen to any Staff member guide you as a Staff, even if you feel you don't need to?: Of course, everyone has different experiences no matter the rank within a community. Everyone has useful knowledge and should be heard out. And you should always listen to your higher ups, but don’t ever put the lower ranks down. Plus everyone needs help sometimes, and everyone gets overwhelmed in situations. It’s always good to listen to someone that might overhear or even watch in on sits. And I know staff shouldn’t make mistakes, but if you do and another staff explains that. Take the information, process, and improve. That makes you a better staff, being able to know when to be reliable and to be able to lean on others. Teamwork makes the dream work!
   

• Are you certain you will be able to staff for 5 hours a week and finish at least 50 sits every 2 weeks?: 24h a day, 168h in a week (Totally didn’t look that up) It’s still quite possible to get more than 5+ hours in a week for staff requirements. And the amount of sits that occur each day, I feel it’ll be a piece of cake to complete 50 sits. When is there never not a situation that may require a staff? Well the answer is, most times but not all. But it’s completely possible and I’m up to the task.

DarkRP Rule Questions

• Raids can last how long?: Raids can last up to 10 minutes after your initial advert in chat, to the according base.
  
  [ Example: Party Raids, PD Raids, Bank Raids, and Normal Raids ]
   

• 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?: For raiding the same base the cooldown is 30 minutes from when your party finishes or fails. All cooldowns are shared within a party. If you are solo raiding, you [ yourself] must wait 30 minutes after finishing the raid or failing the raid.
   

• What initiates a raid?: How raids are initiated, are by doing the appropriate adverts in chat. If you have to lockpick a door, you must advert before using raid tools. If you don’t have to lockpick the door, and can walk in to a fading door then you can advert within the base. You CAN NOT raid before adverting. And you are allowed to be within a base, change jobs, and then advert a raid.
   

• If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: No, you need to advert in chat before using any raiding tools you have available. The only exception to this statement is if the raidables are within reach, and you don’t have to use raiding tools. So in that case, you wouldn’t need to advert any raid and no cooldown would be applied to that situation.
  
  [ Example ] Meth Head is making meth in the streets or even alleyways. If you can walk up and grab the meth falling from the barrels, it’s up for grabs because it’s not protected. Same for shrooms.
  
  [ Raid Tool Example ] As for bitcoin, you’d need to use a raiding tool to access any of the money since the system locks anyone out that isn’t the owner.
   

• Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game):
  [ Example No.1 of raid adverts] /advert BANK RAID
  [ Example No. 2 of raid adverts] /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, in this situation you have initiated a raid in advert chat nor has the owner of the base harmed you. Also KOS signs don’t extend outside the base, they only extend to lines / inside your base.
   

• If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?: No, in this situation you must have been counter raided. You would have to wait the raid cooldown. [ 30 minutes ] If you were party raiding, after your party finishes or fails the raid that’s when the cooldown begins for you to raid that same base.
   

• If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: If you are RDMed without a reason, make a sit. Don’t rage on other players or the one who wronged you. If the situation was severe and upset you, take a break from the game. It’s not fun being the one getting in trouble. Also there is an option to place a hit on said player, but don’t witch hunt them. [ That’s also bad, and can get you in major trouble ]
   

• A player punches somebody unprovoked and runs away, the player who got punched calls a sit - what punishment would you give the instigator?: In this situation, I’d inform the player they can do a warn advert. [ Example Below ] Players can also kill those who damage them, but always make sure it’s the correct person. If they are running away into safe zones, that is against the rules and is punishable. If they are constantly doing this, and depending on the severity of the situation… It is an attempt at RDM and ruining other(s) gameplay. Which is another punishable cause. I would try to reinforce the two options I listed first, if it continued and WITH PROOF. [ Action could be taken ]
  
  [ Example of advert ] /advert Warn 10 seconds to leave ]
   

• List all default Laws of The Land:
  - Raiding and Stealing is Illegal
  - Entities Detected by the Contraband Scanner are Illegal
  - Haming Players is Illegal Unless You are Inside Your Base.
  - Laws can be Enforced with KOS if the Player is Wanted.
  [ When Mayor disconnects or dies, their laws are removed while these laws stay]
   

• How many bases can you own per party?: One Rp-Only Base, and One Raidable Base.
  [Example No.1] If you are a Banker (Bank is your raidable base.)
  [Example No.2] If you are Mayor or Police (PD is your raidable base.)
   

• A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: Number one rule to situations like this is to stay calm. If it gets out of hand and you personally can’t handle it, give the sit to someone else or get help within the sit. Depending on the situation you’ll have to take steps to figuring out how to handle the player in question that’s refusing to co-operate. Asset the situation. Evidence needed depending on if logs can help, or depending on the situation. Both sides to the story, if they are talking over each other, prompt them that you’ll mute both parties and do one at a time if they can’t take turns. If you have no evidence from the reporting party, then there isn’t much you can do to convict a non-cooperative player if you can’t prove what they did.
   

• Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, it is possible to punish a player for intentionally ruining other(s) time within the AetherNetworks community. Depending on the situation, some can be verbally warned or given a warning. Other situations can lead to bans, or even perma bans.
  
  [ Example No.1 ] Targeting audiences in chat, and causing those player(s) to become upset could lead to only a chat mute and warning, or worse.
  
  [ Example No.2 ] Harassing Excessively. After being told / warned to leave the player being harassed alone,  and you continue that would end in a ban with the according time.
  
  [ Example No.3 ] Excessively creating an unhealthy environment for the server and players, would lead to a perma ban. (Drama, Toxicity, Malicious Intents, etc are not allowed or welcomed within the AetherNetworks community)
  
  I know we all wanna have fun in our own way, but treating others the way you wanna be treated is always the golden rule. Although this is a “video game” it’s also a place for people to unwind and relax. It’s also a place to make friends, and enjoy yourself. With that being said, it’s still the internet and a video game. Beware who you trust, and become comfortable with. Stay safe on the internet gamers ❤️
   

• Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it:
  Evidence from you or a player, and COC follows (chain of command.) But in situations with other staff, if you are a tmod go to a higher up not another mod. That’s how drama and issues are spread. Do keep the situation to yourself and the higher up involved. After the higher up handles it, the situation is over and dropped.
   

• A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: I would freeze, (to keep the player from ruining anymore players gameplay) & to give myself time to jail the said player for the amount of time I can jail. After that, I’d COC it up and have it handled further.
   

• A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: First, bring the mayor to adminland, or an area where I could speak with them privately and not be interrupted. I’d ask them why the lockdown was initiated, and why it’s continued for such a long time without reason in the advert chat. If they are non-cooperative, I would demote them from the job and give the punishment according to the staff handbook.

Extra Comments: Fun Fact: “Flamingos bend their legs at the ankle, not the knee”

** To save people time, and to set the record straight. Yes, I do have one warning on file. Yes, it was recent. The warning was given in a resolved sit, as a written warning. The warning was for RDM, due to a fail KOS sign. I learned from the situation and fixed my sign instantly.

** Thank you for taking the time to read my application!

I will admit, up until this I thought my KOS Sign was in within the rules. I never had an issue with it, and never had it reported. (Even had staff base with me, and we never had issues) I'm not blaming anyone but myself for this mistake, but at the time before re-reading over the KOS sign rules. I thought I was within rights to kill you. My KOS sign is wrong, and I will be making a warning bind for future purposes.

- -

Rules:
KOS signs can only be placed at your base's entrance and can only be enforced once the player is past the sign.
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.
If you are building a raidable base somewhere other than a building then you cannot have a KOS sign and can only KOS players for raiding your base.

loi·ter
verb
gerund or present participle: loitering
stand or wait around idly or without apparent purpose.

Thank you for making a report, and not causing issues in-game. I understand you and the other players were having "fun" but "fun" goes so far when I was seeking help on a topic and trying to figure it out. Not only was I seeking help in those moments leading up to the situation, but it was quite frankly very loud and annoying after a while. It was no longer funny, or "fun" for me and my party mate.

Fang RDM'd me and attempted to RDM another player. Me and some other players were saying cheese in chat to each other (listening to the wonderful dreams of cheese) when Fang came out of her base onto the street and killed me.

I came out to ask jerry a question about the keypad system. I was trying to upload an image. So I didn't just come outside randomly to kill you and the other players. I had a question that I wanted answered if it was possible. 

8 minutes ago, Creed said:

Once she killed me she claimed that her "KOS Sign" stated that loitering was KOS when we were in fact on the street

You were in front of my base, purposely spamming the cheese sound. I have a loitering sign in plain sight. You were barely in the street and when I was shooting I shot at Uncle Jerry first because he was indeed on the sidewalk. I understand if I was out of place to kill you, but you were still loitering in my eyes.

Is This Complaint For A Staff Member Or Player?: [PLAYER/STAFF] PLAYER

Reason For Complaint: [DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH, EXPLAIN AND USE EVIDENCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE]  This player first came up to my base as a gun dealer, soon after I saw them on my camera dropping their guns and changing into a thief. They proceeded to raid me without adverting, which I killed them. Not even three minutes later they came back and did the same thing. I killed them again. The third time they nlred and didn't advert raid, they killed me and continued with the raid. I lost my bitcoin and all the money in them.

I believe I'd make a great winner!
