+1 this guy's swag is almost as high as mine

My finger is poised above the ban button, I am a moderator, an esteemed custodian of this niche, backwater server, I will not allow impudence. "Just one excuse", I shriek to the man, who seconds earlier, proceeded to mock my nasally, high pitched voice, "just try and make my day". The aggressor hesitates and then with a voice filled to the brim with confidence and charisma, proceeds to mock my status as a moderator of this esteemed server, a land in which I have dedicated hundreds of hours of soliciting sexual favours from the owners, in order to ascend up the hierarchy. He even had the audacity to question my life commitments, claiming that I am a loser who resides upon this niche game for the majority of my life, dishing out corporal punishments to unruly players. After these malicious words, the other players gather around and form a semicircle, laughing at his insidious words, whilst simultaneously hurtling watermelons in an attempt to make me dance, forming jibes of their own, and demanding that I abdicate my hold on Centrelink and go outside to live life productively. Tears, streaming down my cheeks, I permanently ban four players for repeated harassment and collect myself, to recover from the shellshock and trauma that I have endured at the hands of these adolescent children. I, as the watchful eye over this server, the esteemed sentinel had been violated by a group of young adults, by a band of miscreants, oh the woe, the utter injustice. They are unaware of the sacrifices I have made, to ensure that I retain my grand position. I have had to dedicate hours of my life, miss out on genuine real life evens, all so I could acquire my role as an prestigious admin of this server, emulating a My Little Pony landscape. Any who disrespect and mock that fact, subsequently mock the law and as such will be punished in full accordance to the ambiguous terms and conditions that I have at my disposal. If you believe that I am abusive, or an egotistical sociopath, then may I suggest exiled one, that you take your gripes to the forums, where your ban appeal will be judged by a group of illiterate, non English speakers, residing in New Delhi. After attempting for hours to appeal, I will await for your capitulation, pleas and inevitable apology, regarding the naughty and supercilious words to myself. I am not condescending, why in reality I am benevolent, omnipotent God, within this server all but the owner himself are subject to my every whim. If I want you to cease having fun, I can merely snap my fingers and distort the entirety of your existence. If I am in need of thralls, I can merely shackle and encage you within a hastily concocted box and parade you throughout the town square. In essence, I am your God, I am the vigilant warden of this pristine server and no matter of injustice will elude my watchful gaze. The following you have read, is an excerpt gleaned from the mind of a moderator from a Garry's Mod, My Little Pony server. This moderator in particular was acquired from Rivellions researching team, with the researchers being able to successfully abduct said admin, by luring him inside a steel cage, with the promise of My Little Pony magazines. After several minutes transpired, the moderator grew wary and soon realised that his beloved pony comics would not be bequeathed to him. Following this epiphany, the moderator proceeded to bellow obscenities and hastily concocted threats, informing each of the researchers that he is an omniscient deity, who would not hesitate to permanently extradite them from his server. Realising, that the stony faced researchers would not heed his warning, he attempted to delve down a unique route, attempting to console with his captors, ensuring them that their bans would solely be a swift two months and that they would have the privilege of appealing upon the community forums, which he assured are a reputable and effective way to appeal. Comprehending that his attempts at courtesy would yield no fruit, he began unleashing a rabid tirade, shrieking guttural pony mating calls, all the while attempting to gnaw upon the steel bars that ensured his captivity. The team, realising that the moderator was becoming increasingly volatile, proceeded to tranquilise him with copious quantities of horse sedatives. The moderator, subdued and slumbering within his cage was stored inside a cargo ship that set off to Madagascar. Reportedly, during the trip, said moderator was coerced into masquerading as a pony, being ridden throughout the ships bay and nicknamed as the famed Prancy the pony. The moderator furthermore was treated with utmost courtesy, wearing a immaculate collar and having the luxury of residing within either an oil barrel or crate. Upon arriving to Madagascar, the moderator was gifted to a tribe of Madagascan cannibals, in exchange for four coconuts, and a family of saltwater Crocodiles. The moderator, now contentedly resides under duress with the Madagascan cannibals, being hired as a professional jester for the tribe. The role as a jester bears many responsibilities, he is obliged to dance upon fire ants, consume raw food, copulate with livestock and become the chieftains personal steed. If the moderator hypothetically refuse to comply with his newfound occupation, then his failure to abide by indentured servitude will negatively detract from his resume, alongside the fact that the cannibalistic tribe may attempt to roast him alive and gnaw upon his limbs. Fortunately, the moderator has no intention of abandoning his duty and maintains a conscientious work ethic, parading around as a jester for the benevolent, cannibalistic tribe. Asides, from the moderators fate, there is still the matter of the characteristics of these peculiar moderating specimens, they present a morale quandary to the world, a philosophical inquiry that explores to what extent the socially inept will exploit a fragment of power, handed to them by the server owner atop a Mcdonald's kids meal. I often contemplate upon what compels these moderators, these emotive apparitions. I frequently ruminate on why they invest and squander their days within remote servers, it is an utter enigma. However, it is a tangible certainty, that these moderating hordes bear pride in their indentured volunteer work. They crave the power of regaling themselves to others, as the kings of niche servers, that are only capable of hosting eight individuals. They adore, how the masses of their server, which equate to four or so children, gaze upon them with a mixture of astonishment and awe, as the moderator parades around the town square, his aristocratic robes and affluent cowl flowing in the wind. It is the lust for power that compels him, that justifies the depraved acts he committed for the owners amusement. While the moderator was a regular player, he writhed in anger at every injustice he endured, recording each jest within his book of grudges. Every time he was hurtled out of a cannon, or coerced into becoming the owners personal harlot, he vowed to repay his grievances back tenfold. Now, he has his chance and all who mocked him will not elude his wrath, his oath will be fulfilled and all those who dishonoured his legacy will be permanently banned from his Equestrian My Little Pony server. May we all bear pride in our work, in a way identical to the fair faced lads who rule the My Little Pony servers and others with an iron gauntlet.

AetherNetwork Staff Application Template In-Game Name: Fakie Age: 21  Steam ID (Use steamid.io): STEAM_0:1:148809662 Discord Tag: fakie420 Playtime (!time in-game):  322hrs Timezone: CST When do you usually play? (e.g. Weekdays 5–9PM): I've been playing most recently 2-3pm-5am Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/fakieisopaf/ Why do you want to be Staff?: I've been playing Aether & Retribution for 9 years now, (not consistently) But I would love to just be here for the community. The community always brings a feel good mentality, and I've always loved it, I would love to host events, and games in game for every player to enjoy. I also enjoy my little span of, RolePlay in the server, and overall everyone in game, I feel like I bring an unbiased look on any situation that I see. Have you read the rules fully, understand and feel comfortable enforcing them as correctly as possible?: Yes. Space for any extra comments you might have (feel free to speak your mind): I have became active this last month or two, and honestly believe that I still will continue playing the server for years to come, until I cannot be active, I do love the players in the community, and I feel as if my out poach is only of good intentions towards the community, and the other players in the server, I've been past staff on Aether, (Admin), and got demoted for inactivity. I hope everyone has an amazing new year, and had the best of holidays with their family this year! Rule Questionnaire  Give one example of RDM: RDM Is Random Death Match, so and example would be: Fakie goes into fountain, and sees James, then Fakie decides "Man this guy looks cooler than me!" then Fakie decides to shoot James. Well then James kills Fakie, Fakie then comes back and kills James, as another initiate of RDM. Give one example of NLR:   NLR stand for New Life Rule, New Life Rule is a Rule that involves someone starting a "new life" after death. 3 minutes from when a player can contact his killer, as his new life. So, when Fakie shot James earlier, and James retaliated against Fakie and killed Fakie, Fakie broke NLR by going back and killing James. What sign would a player place on their base to avoid being raided whilst having no raidables?: A Building sign or RP Only, as the building sign represents someone building a base etc. and RP only which is Role Play Only, and you cannot have raidables, and a player(s) cannot raid. These signs must be minimum 75 in size, and must be in a visible area. If you get RDM'd are you allowed to kill the RDMer back?:  its also still RDM, but NLR would not apply as it is an RDM, but as my above example shows, you are initiate damage, you would be the RDMr. Give an example of a Staff abusing their powers: Beware sees Fakie, and decides Fakie is the biggest noob he's ever seen, and decides to freeze him with the physgun. Then after fakie finally  gets unfroze, he gets RDM'd, Fakie then calls a sit for RDM, then beware decides to RDM Fakie in the sit, and then give the person who RDM'd fakie miniguns, and tells him to continue to kill Fakie as much as plausible.

+/-  I'd be willing to change my rating if you changed these things: Your recent playtime could improve, for people to trust you as staff they would need to see you around and for you to interact with them so they build a connection with you.  Rule 4 on the questionnaire is somewhat wrong, NLR doesn't apply to an RDM, and you are allowed to kill them if they don't kill you first. I'm concerned about your replies to everyone. You seem a little defensive, and that isn't a good look to have as a staff member, you would want to show you understand the critiques and give a reply in a different manor. I like how detailed your app is, but I don't understand why your biggest factor of why you want to be staff is because your a long time player. If your a new player with the same hours as you, they would have more rule knowledge because of the changing rules and Aether enviroment.   Best of luck to you!

these two are contradictory, armana posted a screenshot of you playing last week. your 2 year old posts do not count as current activity, and thats what I was getting at, no ill will, just pointing out my opinion!
