Ohhh I love that version! I thought it was lost to the world. I would much prefer that one to Zero's.

This has been suggested before. 
 

My reasoning for giving it a -1 before and still gonna -1 this one is because part of the appeal of meth is how simple it is and easy to grind. Meth (job) is great for players new to the server and especially for players new to garrys mod. 

There is also Lean, Shrooms and Bitcoin. They're all relatively easy.

Suggestion: I believe that a new system for making meth should be added to replace the old (boring) system.

Link to Relevant Addons: I have two different suggestions Zero's Methlab or Zero's Methlab 2

Media/Screenshots/Videos: All can be found on the links above.

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: It seems that the jobs that most people play to make money are extremely passive and boring (like bitcoin miner & meth cook). It seems that the most active job (Weed Grower) is relatively under used and is not worth the work with how much you get paid. I believe that replacing the old meth system with this shiny new meth system will encourage players to start playing a more active and entertaining job that is worth the effort. Plus y'know, its meth man!

• You can't have printers in RP-Only builds.
• I think that a job limit of 3 is too much, I think 1 would be plenty since the prop limit is doubled.

Other than these two points I think that it's a really good idea!

+/-

I feel like there are far better ways to heal than the tactical juice anyways.

Didn't mean to post twice, my data sucks. My real response is below. 🥲

It's an interesting idea, I believe it would be a good prestige job.

Inappropriate.

+/-

It isn't RDM when a player gives another player permission to kill them.

I do want to add one thing. You added a few extra laws to the default laws of the land. Other than that, I wish you the best of luck with your application!

• Raiding is illegal.
• Money printers, drugs and explosive are illegal.
• Bitcoin Racks are illegal (small versions not included).
• Harming other players is illegal unless you are defending your base. 
• Life Threats are illegal.
• Having a gun license automatically makes all weapons on the user legal whilst holstered.
• Kidnapping, theft and harming another player are illegal.
• Shooting dangerous weapons in public is illegal.
• Laws must be enforced with AOS instead of KOS unless the Police Officers life is in danger or the player is wanted.
• Non-default Laws must be things that players have to go out of their way to do. 
• Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are disallowed.
• The Mayor can choose to make dangerous weapons legal or illegal when owned/held but no other weapon-based laws.

The current timer is balanced, reducing it is unnecessary.

Sounds like an interesting idea for a new SWEP. Although Skype? Discord OP!

It is quite a pain to have to add the servers individually to the miner.

+/-

In my opinion, the current timer works fine.

+/-

The duration seems to be fine as is.

This would be a great addition to the DJ job.

If the Tainted Shuriken was just given a cooldown then it wouldn't be that OP. Make it so it can only be thrown once every 30 seconds or something like that.

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far! I agree with some of the points you all have made, I do need to get more familiar with the updated rules as they are still new to me. However I disagree with the suggestion of having to go through the trial moderator process or examination again. In saying that of course, I would still do so if absolutely necessary. :)

That's fair, it's a shame though. It adds a lot to the job.

Suggestion: Please allow the Weed Grower to buy the seed lab.

Link To Relevant Addons: N/A

Media/Screenshots/Videos: Screenshot below, no seed lab 😞

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: I believe that the seed lab was previously accessible to the Weed Grower but was removed and weed prices were buffed. The seed lab gives more purpose to the Weed Grower other than just making money, splicing and growing enough until you get that 100% Seed is my favorite part about this weed growing system and may make the job more appealing.

Re-Rank Questions

When Staffing did you cause any issues that were brought up to you by another Staff member? If so, what?:  No, never.

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 am.

Do you believe you deserve to hold the rank you're going back to and the responsibility's that come with it?: Yes I do.

How many hours can you play per week on average at this current time?: My work schedule is on a 3 week rotation meaning on some days I'll be on after midnight and others I'll be on in the early to late afternoon. However on days that I have off I will be available to be online all day. In hours I would be able to guarantee a minimum of 20+ Hours on weeks that I work midnights (which is only once every 3 weeks). In regards to the other 2 weeks I will be able to guarantee a minimum of 30+ Hours per week.

Have you read the most up to date rules and Staff Handbook?: Yes I have.

Rule Questions

Raids can last how long?: 10 Minutes.

If a player in your party dies whilst raiding, how long do they have to wait to come back and raid the same base again?: 30 Minutes for regular bases, 20 Minutes for PD raids.

What initiates a raid?: Typing /advert Raid.

If no raiding tool is being used can the player steal the item from a base without an advert?: Yes, if no raiding tools are required to access the raidables then the player can steal them.

Give an example of a valid raid advert (type it as you'd type it in-game): /advert (Raid) I'm coming for your money honey ❤️

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 cannot kill them until you initiate the raid using "/advert raid" and you can only kill them if they are within interfering distance.

If you get arrested mid-raid can you return after your arrest?:  No, being arrested mid raid ends your raid attempt.

If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: No, if you're RDMed then you must call a sit using @ chat. If there are no staff online you must attempt to reach out to a staff member through the discord, forums or private messages if possible. Never take things into your own hands. If no staff are online then a player can use clipping software to gather evidence and create a player report on the forums.

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 bring the offending player and confirm with them if they know what RDM is. If they are unaware of what RDM is, I would check their previous warnings. If they have no previous warnings for this behavior then I would explain to them what RDM is and the the rules surrounding it. Afterwards I would let them go with a verbal warning and confirm with them that they understand what RDM is and why it is against the rules. If the offending player has previous warnings for RDM then I would follow the punishment guidelines.

List all default Laws of The Land:

1. Raiding is illegal.
2. Entities scannable by the contraband scanner are always illegal.
3. Harming other players is illegal unless you are defending your base. 
4. Shooting dangerous weapons in public is illegal.
5. Laws must be enforced with AOS instead of KOS unless the Police Officers life is in danger or the player is wanted.
6. Non-default Laws must be things that players have to go out of their way to do. 
7. Laws that are seen as baiting kills or arrests are disallowed.
9. The Mayor can choose to make dangerous weapons legal or illegal when owned/held but no other weapon-based laws. 

How many bases can you own per party?: 1 Base.

A player is refusing to co-operate with you in a staff sit, how do you handle the non-cooperative player?: I would calmy encourage them to cooperate with me during the sit to ensure that we reached a fair and quick resolution. If the player continued to refuse or became aggressive/toxic I would mute/gag accordingly and continue with the sit. Of course if they broke any additional rules during the sit like RDM, Racism, Etc. I would punish them accordingly.

Can you punish a player for intentionally ruining others time, even if they say it's out of fun?: Yes, depending on the situation it can be considered NiTRP (No Intent to Role Play) or Harassment. Depending on the severity of their offenses and their previous warnings I would punish accordingly.

Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers and how you would handle it:  A member of the staff team has been purposely and maliciously baiting players into breaking rules in order to punish them. If I saw such behavior I would gather the evidence required and submit a report on the forums so that the issue can be handled by the appropriate administrators.

A player is excessively RDMing, how would you intervene/stop them from continuing and what punishment would you give?: If I could see in the kill feed that a certain player has killed several people back to back without any clear signal of a raid I would teleport to them to investigate and freeze them if necessary. Of course if reports have been made that this player is mass RDMing then I would bring the offender into a sit and freeze them immediately then proceed with standard procedure by bringing in the players that have been killed/filed the reports to ensure that it is in fact Mass RDM and offer refunds if necessary. In regards to the punishment of this player I would check their previous warnings and punish accordingly, 1st Offence 3 Day Ban, 2nd Offence 1 Week Ban, etc.

A Mayor enabled a lockdown without reason and is refusing to turn it off, how do you resolve this?: I would teleport to the Mayor and inform him that a lockdown must have good reason and can last no more than 10 minutes. If the lockdown has been ongoing for more than 10 minutes or it is without valid reason then I would ask them politely to disable it. If they refuse, I would issue them a warning and demote them from the job.

Thank you for reading my application! 🙂
