Popular Post AV Madi Raven Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2023 AetherNetwork Re-Rank Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): AV Madi Raven, AN Madi Raven, Whattheever99, MadiCat247, DEVIL KILL 247. Age: 26 Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:25658589 Discord Tag: MadiCat247 #8646 Total Playtime: 4w 2d 7h 35m. Timezone: EST Steam Profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/whattheever99/ Highest Rank You've Obtained: Moderator Link your previous personal Trello Card: https://trello.com/c/DTrrm4Gr Re-Rank Questions When Staffing did you cause any issues that were brought up to you by another Staff member? 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. 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremor Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Madi, You are an absolutely fantastic friend and have been nothing but supportive and welcoming to new staff. You really had no issues in your last running as staff besides very heavy gaps of inactivity from sit taking. The only thing I do have concern about is that you are re ranking for the right reasons. The staff team is great to have fun with and have game nights and have as an overall friend group but at the same time that should not be the main reason you are pushing for staff. I do hope you have drive for actual sit taking as well, not that you didn’t before but that did seem towards the end of your last go around you were less interested in the not as fun parts of staffing like sit taking. In regards to your skill I have absolutely zero doubt you will have any issue conducting your duty’s as you did before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting stuff figured out schedule wise and the break REALLY helped alot. Ive been wanting to help more than I can as a player recently. It was alot of thinking and planning for everything but having this up gives me some motivation to get my stuff done aswell. I know what you mean, the vet mod app I forced myself to push it and it killed my motivation. Again being off for a couple months helped alot, but I couldnt seem to let aether go... kept checking forums, looking at discord, wanting to log back in and ended up doing so here and there and just got used to the thought of staying for a while. Thank you for the kind words and I understand the concern. I can always turn to you for advice if I need it. FIXED REPLY BELOW. Misunderstood.

ThiccYe Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 +/- While you are the friendliest friendly friend i've ever befriended, towards the end of you last run at moderator you seemed to really lack dedication to the staff team and to actually staffing in general. While I would love to see you come back in full force, it is still in question if you are coming back to staff for the right reasons, and that makes it hard for me to fully +1 your rerank. I understand the lack of motivation, it happens to all of us, I would just hate for you to come back to the team and fall back into the same loops and lose motivation again. It can ruin the game if staffing feels too much like a chore for you, so you gotta be 100% sure that you want to rerank for the utter betterment for the server, despite how many friends are on the team or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Changed to a +/- due to concerns, After having some thoughts about your re-rank staff app a few hours after posting my response. I've come to the decision and express that I am quite concerned about you becoming staff again due to the following reasons: 13 hours ago, Madi Raven said: Getting stuff figured out schedule wise and the break REALLY helped alot. Ive been wanting to help more than I can as a player recently. It was alot of thinking and planning for everything but having this up gives me some motivation to get my stuff done aswell. I know what you mean, the vet mod app I forced myself to push it and it killed my motivation. Again being off for a couple months helped alot, but I couldnt seem to let aether go... kept checking forums, looking at discord, wanting to log back in and ended up doing so here and there and just got used to the thought of staying for a while. I understand that most people within your friend group are staff themselves, however based on your responses to others and extra comment that you've provided on the app made me question if you're seriously reapplying for staff for the right reasons. Becoming staff itself is a privilege, but it's just as much of an importance to have good time management skills and having a drive for motivation to staffing in general as it's quite a chore itself. Surely, I get the fact that being apart of staff team gives you certain social aspects such as being allowed to participate in staff related events such as staff gaming night and making event for example are quite perk itself, however building a relationship within the staff team let alone the entire community as a whole is just as much of an importance which shows commitment. Hence, the last thing I wanna see is that if you were to lose motivation again on the long run, it will greatly affect not just staffing, but your love towards playing Garry's Mod itself in general and feeling extreme guilt for failing as a staff member. I've witnessed this with several former staff on servers I've actively play on and servers that I used to staff on. Edited January 17, 2023 by Enzo Was extremely sleep deprived while writing this.

AV Madi Raven Posted January 17, 2023 Author Share Posted January 17, 2023 I think I worded my reply really badly last night. Sorry about that. I must have misunderstood it and replied to the wrong thing, thats on me. My main issue last time was being too head strong and made staffing the only thing I did and nothing else which burned me out. Been doing a much better job at not doing that now. There was a more personal reason that affected me more than anything but its been handled at this point. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
