Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:44971557

Do you have any bans/warns?: No


Age (Minimum 15): 18 (Turn 19 in 2 days)


Do you have a microphone?(Required): Yes


Do you have TeamSpeak? If so what is your TeamSpeak name? Naval OH CWO2 Blake


Do you have Discord? If so what is your discord name and ID? Peachy#0064


Are you currently staff on a different server? Are you willing to leave that staff position for the one you are applying for?
I am not staff on any other current servers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Experience with staffing (ULX, other servers, etc.): I helped with another server as a Moderator called AHC before leaving that server due to a lack of population,


How active will you be on the server? I already actively play the server nearly every day for 3-4 hours depending on the day and my schedule


Days,Hours Of Availability: Saturday/Sunday 4+ hours. Monday - Thursday 2-3+ hours


Explain why you're a better candidate than other candidates (75+ words):
As someone who has been active in the server for a large amount of time I have gained a lot of confidence and experience from my position. Unlike some other candidates my position in Naval is that of the head of operations which is a Role Play prioritized group. I have a huge focus on passive role play and an understanding of what operations and what the station can do. Since i prioritize a lot of those jobs and roles I can work well with the station and know more details about it than the average marine who plays.


How do you plan to benefit the server? (50+ words):
I have a prioritization on role play and passive role play in a whole. I do not believe that events should just be purely combat with zero other options and I feel that missions should be open ended with multiple different solutions. It is what separates us from regular single player games and a evolving multiplayer role play community. I feel that with a focus on more roleplay and talking I can bring more of this to the table for those who enjoy it. As someone who has already choosen to help the server with my available options I have joined the graphics team but I also feel that instead of furthering my complaints with a job I do not understand It would be better for me to join and do what I can to help rather than just be immature about it. I do love this server and believe that events could be better but I hope to help with the events and as bias as I am I am naval sided and would love to incorperate more naval events with objectives that are open ended and helpful. Until I am able to do that I would love to help events with busy work and such to allow the game makers to focus on more pressing issues such as roleplay commands and more.


List (10) Ulx Commands and what they do(List something other than: cloak,ban,Kick,Warn,TP,Maul,Slay,Gag,):

What is In character and what is Out of character?
In character are things to be treated as in universe for immersion purposes. Out of character are immersion breaking topics that are things related to real life. Like talking about how you need to go afk and such

Are you willing to work with a Game Maker Team?
Yes I am

What is the purpose of a Game Maker?
To provide an avid game experience for the players on the server and give them something to do and missions to complete or even just have events and smaller things.

Give us a full event idea you have. ( 3 Paragraphs )

An event Idea I have wanted to do would be introducing a smaller terrorist organization or using an existing once depending on how far to push the halo lore. With this organization there could be an incident where a group of people infiltrate into the station and this is where the options start. This mission will rely on the players and there ability to notice details. First layer will be on the security codes and if the Naval operations can properly check if this group is legitimate. They will claim to be a Naval officer who just fled from a recent assault on a nearby station with urgent news. They will demand to land immediately and talk to the highest ranking Naval. With this if operations where to ask them for security details they will fight back or say they dont have them and argue. If they are allowed on ship they will attempt to go to the NCC and request to be spoken to alone. From there they will attempt to kidnap a high ranking personel of any kind and escape VIA the airlock in the NCC or the hanger bay. These can be stopped though.
If they are stopped another event will happen at a future time where during an unrelated event with the game maker in charge's permission a group of unknowns will kidnap any high ranking personnel and fly them off.

Once the personel is captured what will follow is a prisoner negotiation event in which the actions of the players in charge can influence the future event with this mission. Players can choose to assassinate and kill the captors which will lead to more conflict with this terrorist group or it may go exactly as they play insiting more kidnappings. The options at that point are open ended to the players decision and adapting to those decisions can shape an entire mini campaign. Options like capturing a terrorist to find there base or hacking into a computer they leave behind and more. The main focus though will be that extream hostility will be punished.

This app is not bad, but I have a handful of things I’d like to say:
• It isn’t a bad idea to promote or experience the best of passive rp, and I would encourage you to pursue it to a limited extent. However I think making it your main focus is a massive risk on the individual level. Passive rp has a time, place, and certain connotation to it, and it’s not exactly something everyone can do, most of the time. A massive oversight in most passive rp is looking at one or two groups (you know the ones) and giving them the good rp experience, and then everyone else getting; “Move crates, handle supplies, do patrols, etc.”
• Your event is definitely tricky. I know it can seem easy to do on map events or mini-events with the way they usually go: A horde of game makers on the URF job go in kill a lot of people, and then just die or fizzle out. It is actually a lot more difficult and tedious than you think. Even with clever disguises and reliable set up, once things kick off they don’t go back on the rails for the game maker. I can think of so many times where I was trying to be clever in an on map event, only to find myself getting the absolute snot beat out of me a few seconds later.
• Also going with your event, what is the purpose behind it? Is it a part of a larger story, and are there things that you can introduce or expound upon? Any event can be fun, or good in my opinion, but only the best events have a story that nearly everyone has or can have a personal investment in. Maybe you’re ‘small band of terrorists’ have a special method of interrogation, or maybe they won’t need to interrogate at all. Maybe they think they need a sacrifice to open a door on some far off forerunner structure that no one has ever known about until then. Personalize your event, and ask yourself from the perspective of the player: What works in events? What do I not like in events? What is fun and what do I think is upsetting? Find commonality with other people and share your ideas with your friends or just other players. Personalize your event, find that niche that’s going to make players get on when they hear Blake is going to get on and do an event.

I can most definitely see the complains you list and I’ll go ahead and do my best to address them

In terms of the event and favoritism there is a bias which I attempted to help by basically testing all factions abilities during an event where people sneak off station. Operations with checking security followed by air force noticing anything with the ship or people on it and maybe over hearing anything or military police checking them and the aspect of anyone being a target

The main concern I had with my event was definitely the people involved to make it work as it would take way to many game makers to really stage this. An alternative would be similar to a recent event where a group is tricked to go off station only to be kidnapped instead which could prove much easier

I do agree that passive rp can not b the only element in an event and feel that i should revert a previous statement and instead point out the importance of both passive RP and combat/active events
Thank you for the advice. I will admit that I am new to Gary’s mod game making and managing multiple objectives for different factions and groups is something new to me


Oh and my bad going to edit this but
The main purpose of the event would be on station security and reminding people to focus on details in events and missions. Security clearances to asking for IDs and questioning little things like maybe the wrong uniform or using open comms instead of unsc and so on

in terms of story behind it I do like the concept of a smaller subset organization (figuring out how this all fits into the lore will have to be done) working more inside the UNSC and attempting to profit/abuse the mismanagement in the UNSC to gain military technology and assets. A group that is more professional but would rather not engage in direct conflict but act in more stealth and negotiation. Its extremely ambitious so in honestly scaling a lot of this down would most likley happen. But ive always enjoyed the idea of a hidden hand in the UNSC

 

[Frogster]

This is a nice event idea with many layers to it. Although the little clues may need to be more obvious. other then that this is a fine app. +1

 

[Jai]

Looks clean and well organized, +1 from me
