(Check off the answer you choose with a “x”.)

Would you consider yourself an good builder?
[x] yes
[ ] no

Experience with Garry’s Mod construction and NPC control: (if none leave blank) I have used the NPC Tools that gmod has quite a bit and have a very good understanding of how all of the, except the NPC Controller tool works. I have messed around with it a bit, however I still have some things I need to learn about it. I am very creative with my use of the tools and the npc's and have crafted many events that utilized the majority of the tools to their fullest.

In terms of Constuction, I have spent on the plus side of 100 hours making dupes and rooms for past events and for other peoples events and have gotten very good at building strucures in gmod. I am not so good at fine detail, however for this server and how events work on here, my skills are more then enough to handle it.

Are you able to create a cohesive story?
[x] yes
[ ] no

Experience with the creation of storylines, and knowledge of star wars lore: From looking above at my past experience, I have had a lot of experience as a GM and so I have made a lot of stories about star wars. Many of the events I have done are campaigns and so they are a long story told through many events. I enjoy making events like this since it allows me to have both fun events for everyone and involve an rp aspect into the events and allow players interested in rp to stay along with the story and know who all of the people in it are. Down below this, you can see that there is a doc I have made with quite a few ideas I have had for events. On the other server's I have been a gm on, I would write a lot of stories (20+) for the other gm's so if they did not have an idea, or couldn't think of one, they would pull out the doc and pick one of the events I wrote. My knowledge of the star wars lore is not as expansive as some others, and I do not know too much about the things out of the movies and the Clone Wars series, however whenever I have a base idea or want to do a certain type of event that would require lore, I search deep into the lore to make sure that the event follows lore.

Have you ever assisted in an event on Reborn in the past?
[ ] yes
[x] no
If so how many times?
[ ]

Can you work well with others to plan and execute an event?
[x] yes
[ ] no

As a game master what do you desire to do? (ie: Build, create story, etc.):
One of the main reasons I play gmod is to have fun with a cancer community, the star wars rp community. And while having fun is amazing, it is hard for some people to have fun when there are not gm's doing events, or no small things happening to occupy them. As a Game Master, I want to be able to help the players of this community have more fun by creating thrilling events that keep you on your toes and can allow you to have fun with the community that you are a part of. After the first time, I was a Game Master on Wild Fyre, I began to have more fun doing events than I had participated in them. Being a game master on there sparked a fire in my heart to want to continue making events and having fun while at it. So basically, as a Gamemaster, I desire to have fun creating thrilling stories that are fun for the players to enjoy.

Plan an event (story based or building based):

The structure of the base would be 5 floors going up. Each floor has 2 rooms and you need to clear out the first room to move to the next. each floor would have a boss. The boss' would progressively get more difficult. Each floor would progressively change to different types of areas. The first would be fairly bare with no special things about it. The floors after that would progressively change the lower floors would have more cover and progressively less cover and areas to hide would be there as you get higher(There would still be cover just not as much). The first floor would be fairly straightforward, just kill the enemies and move on, the next floor would be a maze-like floor with npcs scattered through it. Then again it would be a fairly straightforward standard npcs in a room, this floor, the fourth, would be the largest room with stairs going upwards and a large block on the side that enemies can stand on that would be a little difficult for jedi/sith/ee to get to so they would need to work together to be able to deal with them and the enemies on the stairs. the fourth room would be fairly small only being about a 4x4 of the largest plastic pieces. It would be 2 rooms like the rest each being about that size. the first room would be npcs and the boss there at first. However, the boss would escape into the second room after losing 1/4th hp. The second room would be favoring the npc's and boss and not have cover close to the entrance which would force the players into the room. Once the majority of the players are in the boss would drop from above about a quarter of the room away from them and begin to move towards them to attack. After getting to half hp the boss would retreat and allow the players to finish the remaining npcs then go in to fight the players going back and forth from the first room of that floor to the second to confuse players. After he had been defeated, the remaining players would get their rolls.

I am currently still making more events, so if you want to read some more of them, then here is a link to a doc with all the rest of my ideas: https://docs.google.com/document/d/132Bs2GjeEi0jiKiRpDhBuuCxWaR5p2VAXTIin9M3K78/edit?usp=sharing

Player Interview
Why should we support your application, and what makes you more qualified than other players? (Please elaborate - the minimum effort will not be tolerated):
While I may be a new face to many or not well known to some, I still believe I am a good candidate for Gamemaster. I have been a game master many times before and have taught 30+ other people how to be a gamemaster and many of them later went on to make amazing events. As well as this, on Wild Fyre, one of the servers I was a GM for, I had been told by many of the players that when they saw I was doing an event they would get on just for that. I am very experienced making events that people enjoy and have even written events for other people to do as an event writer. When I originally wrote this app, I was not a well-known face and did not gain much support because of that. Over the past week and a half, I believe I have met a lot of people here on Reborn, and have grown to like the community so much more. On the servers I have been on in the past, I have never felt that the community was always there to support you, but after I started having issues with some things in games, there were many people there to help me, and none of them ever got upset or were rude. They would just help me the best they could or they would find someone else that could help me. It was these events that have made me want to be a gamemaster so much more so that I can give back to the community what they have given to me.


Note: Gamemaster are not staff. Gamemaster should not use their powers for anything besides their events. Unless instructed to do other wise by Head Admin +.

P.S. First post on this Category :D

edit: I have made this much longer so I am sorry to those who are reading it. I hope you will support me and if you have any comments for me specifically, then you can talk to me in game :)

+1, outstanding application. You clearly put an immense amount of effort, time, and detail into your application. I see your on daily both discord, teamspeak, and on the server. Your quite kind, experienced, and have a creative mind, which is the best quality for a game master. I see no reason why you wouldn't be accepted.

+2 You are a nice a mature person I have known you for a while, so you deserve a chance. Good Luck
 
Neutral.
Decent application, okay event and player interview.
However, I haven't seen you around too often, and you were banned from the server recently (even if it was appealed and accepted, you still broke a rule that got you banned.)

Edit: Changing my response to a -1 after seeing your response to criticisms and negatives on the app. Your responses show you may not be ready to take criticism, which is something gamemasters have to put up with a lot.

-2 Reasons that Primi brought up, my main issue with an extreme lack of activity and your ban. I doubt you could be trusted not to abuse GM powers or just misuse them

[EDIT] -1, After speaking with you I am willing to reconsider, but I am still hesitant. Keep working on it and it may be a + soon.

+1 My god is your application long Defo alot of detail
Yes i think your ban is abit shaky but everyone deserves a second chance go get em

Yea, the ban I got today was a definite mistake on my part. Also, Cruen, my ban is not a reason to think I will misuse my powers. If you look at the actual reason it isn't me messing around, minging, or anything of that sort. I made a joke that was a bit too far and should not have been made. I realize that is not okay for this server anymore. On servers I have played on in the past, no one would have batted an eye at that, and they had similar rules to this server, so I didn't think anything of it. I now know that it is not okay and won't make any jokes like this again. I wrote an event story that was involving the topic I was banned for, and I am going to edit it so that it is more okay for this server and won't cause any issues. And no terms of the "lack of activity" I am on literally all day everyday and active except for the 4 hours before the server restarts and 1 hour after I reconnect in the morning. So please, before you say anything actually fact check. That just gives me a lack of trust if you say lack of activity when I have around 10 people that can vouch for me being more active than you.

P.S. Love that doctor who signature. 2nd favorite doctor.

+2 you are a great person and I see you a lot. That ban you recently received shouldn't been a ban instead with a warn on your account, also being banned shouldn't influence your gm skills nor popularity within the community. Good luck b.

-2'd his application and got this message from him lmao.

Hello, Primster.

In the future, before you vote, Please make sure that you actually follow what you are allowed to do, or just simply read the freaking rules that are laid out. On my app, after you found out I was banned, you changed it to a -2 (which was kinda dumb since it was almost instantly removed and the owner agreed I should not have been banned.) However, You are not allowed to do a -2. If you look at what Charger posted "How to vote on gamemaster applications" https://reborngaming.net/forums/threads/how-to-vote-on-gamemaster-applications.40/ (link provided) then you would see that you can only -2 at a certain user rank, however, you are only a member. so you do not have the RIGHT to do that. You can say you strongly do not think I should be admitted as a GM, but as a user you can not do -2. If you have the audacity to vote on someone and give them such a bad review, then the least you could do is actually read the rules. I apologize if you actually are a mod+ but since you don't have that tag, I do not believe you are, plus you are not in the Disc from what I have seen and you are never in game.

If youre gonna get upset over this and btw I am a Gamemaster. Youre application can be the best thing in the world but your personality could be the worst. Sometimes events dont go as planned if youre not emotionally ready for criticism and other things that happen it might no be for you. If youve never seen me then thats interesting im on almost everyday and im very active.

I did not know that you are a gamemaster, so I was just telling you that you can not. And I know that events don't go as planned. I have told people many a time to not force events to go as they want. (Granted they were people I trained and taught how to be a gm and I preached that to them that they need to be flexable.) Me sending you that due to a lack of information and an Apology at the end if I was wrong is not me being upset, it is just me telling you that you can not do a -2/+2. As I said, I did not think that you were a GM, since I have never seen anyone with the name "Primster" In or out of game. I checked Discord, TS, and In game for a few hours looking for someone with that name but did not find them. I now know that you are Primi, but at the time did not know that.

-edit also, I am different when I type than when I am actually in game. When I type I am bolder because of practice I have done with writing stories for English class. If you want to actually get to know me and know my true personality, then find me in TS or in game and I will be more than happy to talk to you :)

Side note: I am in TS rn if you do want to talk to me so you can form an actual opion

-another edit: I re read it and made it a bit nicer. Sorry I was being rude, again... I was tilted since I did not know you were primi when I sent this message before, so I did not know that you are actually active since I never saw "primster" in game, ts, or disc like I said up there.

All that message shows the GM team is that you most definitely are not mature enough to take criticism, and that if you do receive it you lash back. Also Primi is constantly in game, and doing things. I believe the reason you have not seen him is because you are not active yourself and/or you are just not observant.

At this point, I do not believe I will be accepted, however if you have not voted on my app, then please do and explain your reason. It has been made clear to me that the GM's do not believe I am ready to be part of their ranks, and I will respect their decision. However, I want to improve and grow to be better. This will be the last post I make in this thread, unless there is a true need for me to reply. Again, pleae if you have not posted something in here, either tell it to me in game, TS, or post on here so that I know what I can improve on. If you would like to talk to me for something, you can find me on discord at Zennon Olav#4248 or in TS. If I am in game, then I am in TS. For everyone who has already posted, I am sorry if I seemed aggressive or rude. I was just a bit frustrated when people said "inactive" or "idk who this is" since I am on everyday for atleast 8 hours, and am in TS that whole time too. Thank you for taking the time to post on my app and read this message. I hope that in the future I will be able to gain all of your support.
 
Cruen you speak of matters you do not fully understand. If you are going to put such little thought into your message and your opinion. I suggest you say nothing. Assuming someone and who they are based upon a single typed up message, is quite immature in my opinion.

Who are you?

At this point why complain of what outhers think of you, and why doubt yourself? If I were you I wouldn't be complaining that I will probably not get accepted, If I were you I would get out there and prove to the people that I'm ready for this roll! -1 Reasons Cruen and Prim listed.
 
Im say be neutral here. The app is real good and I've spoken to you IG before but we already have a lot of GM's and whilst I have seen you in TS often it is normally in a secure channel with your group of friends. My suggestion is start expanding and speaking to more people and you will be more known. Also your responses as shown earlier do seem a bit extreme and remember this is a job with a lot of stress and that you need patience and control over your emotions.
 
+2, In my opinion, you are mature and creative enough to do well as a Gamemaster.

Keep the replies to the thread about the applicant in question, please.
