Locust Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 AetherNetwork Staff Application In-Game Name (List ALL variations, if accepted your Forum/Discord name will be changed to your most used one): Locust, Hobo Builder, Nepeta, LOOT Goblin, Nechza Age: 23Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:421571997 Discord Tag: _nechza. Total Playtime (24 hours/1 day REQUIRED): 5d 23h 19m, however i had good amount of playtime back in 2021, but my time got reset unfortunately. Timezone: Pacific Standard Time Steam Profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198803409722 Times you're most active (If you have a unpredictable schedule let us know): I am Usually Active between the times of 6:00 PM PST - 2/3:00 AM PST. I am in the military so i am unavailable between the times of 7:00am PST - 5:00 pm PST on the Weekdays. General Questions How can you contribute to Aether?: The way I can Contribute to Aether is being able to provide a healthy experience to the Users of this server, help them learn the jobs, or maybe resolve an issue of strife between people. Even as a player on this server I have always considered the happiness of others and wanting them to have fun and enjoy themselves on this server. I want to be able to help out more for this server by being that guiding hand for players, helping them out with issues, or helping them get as much enjoyment as they can. some other ways I may be able to contribute is having a schedule that puts me awake at night where the most trouble is which i have noticed become a problem late at night. People will come on and MRDM, prop block and cause to much havoc due to staff not being able to get on due to how late it is, thankfully I am on late during those nights so I would be able to help deal with those issues. To wrap it up, I want to provide a healthy experience for players, make them enjoy their time here and have them coming back to play. Though I am also a builder at heart, so I also wouldn't mind hosting some creative events! Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: i have gone over the rules, and i am willing to enforce them as correctly as i can. 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 there is nothing wrong with guidance, even the smallest amount of help could change things. Are you certain you will be able to staff consistently every week whilst holding this position?: I am certain that I will be able to provide a consistent schedule for the server so that things are more easier to manage. DarkRP Rule Questions Give an example of RDM: Figure one is a hitman who recently got a hit on figure two. Figure one goes and completes his hit on figure two killing them. Figure two not so happy about this outcome comes to RDM the hitman who killed them. ending up as Revenge RDM. Give an example of NLR: Lets say theres a big PD force on the server, and figure one wants to raid the PD, and he ends up dying by PD. However figure one returns to raid the PD before the 3 minute timer is up and continues raiding, which leads to them breaking NLR How many entrances does your base need?: The base requires at least one valid entrance that doesn't break basing rules. What sign would a player place on their base to avoid being raided whilst having no raidables?: They would need to put up a building sign, or they can put up an RP-only sign. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back without repercussions?: No you are not, that would be revenge RDM and put you in the wrong as well. Instead call an admin on the player who RDM'd you and have staff help deal with the issue with you. If your party member gets damaged are you allowed to kill the attacker?: If they are in your party using the !party system, You are allowed to kill the attacker if they damage your teammate or kill them. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers: There are several ways an admin can abuse their power due to how much access they are given, some Common ones i saw in the past where admins false banning users, or using God mode in a raid, or Admin abusing on users who gotten into some small trouble. Extra Comments: The name is Nechza, however you may know me as Locust or Goblin. I have been in the Gmod community for a while now, but always interested in the building aspect, and I like making nice things for people to enjoy. I have staffed in a few moderately sized DarkRP servers back around in 2018/19 which have been closed now, but i will hold those experiences closely as it helped me understand how to have fun and help people at the same time.

Monika Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) +1 Only issue I clearly see with your application is the use of the phrase Revenge RDM. We don't have a separate classification for that. It's just RDM in every sense. Your examples aren't wrong, just the title really. Also the NLR example being a bit off but Vetes explained that pretty clearly. Other than that, app looks good, playtime is there so long as you remain active. You're a nice person to be around as well.

The only interaction I can remember having with you was last night, but it was a positive one; you seem to have a funny personality and can add humor to the game which is always nice. As for your application, it's fairly solid. As Monika pointed out, "Revenge RDM" isn't a thing, it just falls under the category of RDM. Also: Quote Give an example of NLR: Lets say theres a big PD force on the server, and figure one wants to raid the PD, and he ends up dying by PD. However figure one returns to raid the PD before the 3 minute timer is up and continues raiding, which leads to them breaking NLR I think there's potential misunderstanding here, if a player wants to raid but hasn't adverted yet, they can return so long as they don't interact with the people that caused their death (so long it was a valid death). However, if they adverted and died then they would have to wait both the 3 minute NLR cooldown and the 30 minute raid cooldown. Overall, I'm on the edge of saying +1, but for now I'm going to say +0.5 if that's even a thing. Be sure to re-read the rules regarding NLR/raiding as I think there may be a misunderstanding. I'd also like to see more interactions with you in game. Changing my opinion to +1. After some further interactions with you in game, you seem like a fun and kind person and I think you have a suitable attitude in general to be a staff member. Good luck! Edited January 18 by Vetes Changed opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegroundisintheair Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I haven't had many interactions with you in-game, and the ones I have had mostly end in you running away with my money... You seem like a nice guy that could do well as staff and I see nothing wrong with your app that would bar you being accepted. I look forward to seeing if you get the seal of approval from the brass. +1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Do apologize, previous servers i helped moderate had them seperate, as for the NLR situation I do see where the misunderstanding might be, though when I mentioned wanting to raid, I suppose I didn’t add anything extra to say they adverted. Which I do apologize on that part. what I was meaning to say is that he was wanting to raid the pd, and in doing so died during the raid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to use your microphone more would be my suggestion Yeah, only reason why I didn’t use it in the beginning is I was unsure of what was causing my microphone issue of not working in game, but I fixed it so it’s all good now.
