Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:161766337


What's your name in game? How long do you have in game?: ODST A0 MSgt Trippy, I have been playing for about 3 months.

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 currently staff on a different server.


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


Experience with staffing (ULX, other servers, etc.): I was a Mod on Icefuse a year ago.


How active will you be on the server?: I will be on a lot, since I am also obligated to be on the server as an ODST.

Days,Hours Of Availability: About 4-5 days a week, From 3:00pm - 10:00pm (Roughly those times)



Explain why you're a better candidate than other candidates (75+ words): From what I have seen events in the server have been getting shittier by the day, I am willing to put a lot of time and effort into making the players happy. I want events to be worth the time spent on them, after my events I want people to say “Wow that was fun, when will there be another event like this”, and I'm willing to use all of my power to make that happen. As well I may not be good at using a tool gun, or physgun, but I have a very imaginative mind, and I always think during events, How would I change this to make it more fun.


How do you plan to benefit the server? (50+ words): I plan to make events where everyone is able to take something away from that event. I plan to give each individual unit taskings which fit their jobs. All I see are events only allowing ONI, and Spartans to have the most Fun and important objectives. I want to shift the important tasks that to different jobs like Marines, Army, etc…


List (10) Ulx Commands and what they do(List something other than: cloak,ban,Kick,Warn,TP,Maul,Slay,Gag,): !menu, !vote, !spectate, !god, !noclip, !hp, !ragdoll, !slap, !strip, !blind.


What is In character and what is Out of character?: In character (IC) is full RP, anything you say is what your character would say. I.E. “The enemy has been spotted over there”. Out off character (OOC), is talking about non RP matters either using an OOC chat, or in an OOC room. I.E. “My teachers gave me so much work today”.


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


What is the purpose of a Game Maker?: To organize onship or off ship events for the playerbase to enjoy.


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

Brief Overview: The event starts with a distress signal that comes from one of the UNSC’s outer colonies. They have been overrun by a Separatist group (URF, etc…), and that the capital of the planet has been seized. Nuclear devices, and EMP devices have been brought into the city, and the locations are unknown. UNSC forces stationed, are tasked to eliminate the insurrectionists, and get rid of that nuclear device. Marines, Army, FL, Airforce, QRF, are deployed to a front line to support it, and hold it. Army, FL are deployed early to destroy AA guns/MAC cannons, to allow more of the main force to come down. Naval will be in frigates attempting to get space/air superiority, aswell denying enemy reinforcements. SOS will be deployed in to destroy enemy comms. Behind enemy lines ODST, ONI, an Spartans are deployed. Everyone moves to their objectives, if the do no complete them their will be consequences (Explained in Individual Unit taskings). At the end everyone extracts off the planet.


Individual Unit Taskings:


Marines/QRF: They are tasked with holding a front line to distract the insurgents, as well as escorting any civilians back to safety.

Army: They will be going in early to destroy the AA guns/MAC cannons. After that they will be moving to a secure location to set up a medical depot to treat wounded (civilians or soldiers).

Freelancers: Aswell they will be going in early to destroy AA guns/MAC cannons. After that FL will be going to secure supply depots filled with Vehicles, Munitions, etc…

Airforce: They will be dropping in the troops after the AA guns/MAC cannons are gone. After that they will be securing the air above the front line denying enemy air vehicles.

Naval: They are tasked with destroying any and all frigates that are not friendly. Denying enemies from landing reinforcements, If this task is not completed enemies numbers will rise.

SOS: The are tasked to destroy enemy comms tower. After that they are to find a locate the EMP device, if it goes off all comms will be severed.

ODST: They are tasked with capturing, Insurgent ground commander Russell Corbett. He is located somewhere in the city. Russell would be surrounded by his special guards (Event characters). After that they are tasked with ambushing an enemy convoy carrying troops, Munitions, etc…

Spartans: They tasked with locating and disarming (If armed) the nuclear device. Once they disarm it they will have to extract it. After that they will be moving with ONI to their objective.

ONI: They are tasked with capturing Insurgent Lead scientist Karl Wach, Karl has developed and is planning to release a dangerous neural virus, Codenamed “Long night”, the info has been gathered by a insurgent defector. Aswell they are to execute any of the test subjects found. If the virus gets out, or the test subjects, it will spread to many people.


Enemy types: Insurgent forces, air vehicles, (zombies if virus is released)

Map: Any large city map.


Did any current Gamemaker refer you to apply? If so who?: Head GM lex/Atlas referred me to apply.


I,Trippy, Agree and understand that i am not staff, and it is not my job to do staff duties, unless there is 0 staff on I will not use my commands unless needed. I also agree that I will not noclip/abuse my powers.


I, Trippy, acknowledge that this application is to be filled out with complete honesty. Being accepted will hold me at a higher standard in behavior and demeanor. Not doing my job or abusing will result in an instant demotion.


I,Trippy, Swear to uphold the server rules, and enforce them.And to stay within the limits and rights given to me by my assigned rank within GM's.And to keep a calm head and clear judgement when dealing with staff and or players, in order to ensure fairness to all who join the server.


And that if I Trippy am found in violation of the rules I swore to uphold, and of this contract that I can and will be removed from GM's and or staff and forever barred from Re-Applying, along with any other Consequences that are deemed Necessary.

The Application is pretty text book. nothing out of the ordinary good or bad. The event gives almost everybody something to do during the mission. would say +1

Fine application.
I don’t trust applications where they need others to post for them (way around bans alt detection and such)

 

[Meridian]

+1 Great application, love the event, definitely gives everyone something to do, something that is very difficult to keep going. Only thing wrong is that it needs to have the explanations of the commands, not just list them. @Amenonuhoko please tell him to do this.

Also Coyote, That is the G.M. posting an app for someone who is unable to because he is new to the forums. Do you really think the G.M. of HaloRP would post to get around a ban or illegal alternate account. Use your brain please.

+1 I'll give him a chance.
Seems open to learn and willing to outperform other GM's while still willing to work together. Also seems to have quite some time on his hand.

Trippy, if you get accepted, i wonder how far you're willing to go for your event.
You say events have been getting shittier, so what would you do to fight that?
Would you plan days beforehand and perhaps do 1 big event every week so people know what to expect and when?
Would you put in the time to learn new skills, and learn new tools such as advdupe2, PAC3, ULX?
and how badly do you want to differ from other GM's, would you experiment with new story lines, remain true to halo lore, or even find a way to do both? How would your event, differ from ours?

Now this isnt a one-man-show ofcourse, you would be leading a team of GMs and event helpers during your event.
Which requires good and clear tasking, communication, and a document we can rely on should you D/C.

I will say this about your application tho
It's not about giving everyone 'specific' tasking to make them feel special. Nor is it to make sure everyone has equal fun because in reality that's impossible. I say that because sometimes you're gunna be faced with only 1 or 2 odsts or a single airforce guy who wants special tasking and as GM it's impossible to make everyone shine every single event. Marines don't get to do a lot besides pointing and shooting and sometimes thats okay. Naval or airforce dont get to fly around because; the skybox is too low, or the map and mission just simply dont require it. Sometimes its okay to have people work together, or make them do things they dont usually do. And personally as GM, i think it's not a bad idea to try and bring the factions closer by forcing them to cooperate and establishing a clear chain of command, even when they wish to be separated and feel as if their unit saved the day.

In the end the best thing you can do to get good at tasking and make everyone happy; is to sit down with them and have a chat about it. QRF likes to run around and 'quickly respond'. Valkyrie feels like their not valkyrie without jetpacks. Airforce doesnt care what vehicle they get as long as they get to fly at all. ODST's just wanna drop. These are not my words; these are the words of the faction members ive interviewed.
According to what i've seen and heard; SOS, marines and naval are currently the most unhappy factions.

So i'll leave you with a single question;

How far are you willing to go?
