-------------------------------------------------
Long Answer
Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum.
What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I already dedicate time to playing this server & thoroughly enjoy it. To me? It's common sense, if I already dedicate so much time to it but do nothing to benefit it whilst playing, why not apply for staff? I get to dedicate time to server and support it and the players of it at the same time. Genuinely, I enjoy playing on the server and would like to support it through the time I already dedicate to it every day. I'd like to expand my knowledge over the server's script and the server itself.
Why should you be considered over other candidates?: Honestly? I don't have much going for me, other than the fact that I'm active and willing to dedicate time to the server. I've spent five years roleplaying on the GTA: San Andreas — GTA: V platform on text roleplay servers and recently stumbled across here. Been playing here for a few days just for some fun, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I think everyone has their own traits & talents and should be evaluated individually. I don't think I'm specifically better than anyone else in a certain area, and I don't think I should be accepted over anyone else.
Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): No
Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No
Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I'm rather new to the community. I don't think the community knows me at all.
Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: No.
-------------------------------------------------
Problem Solving
Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take.
Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Notify all other staff online with evidence and a narrative of what happened, via report or Discord. Never would I try to take care of it myself, unless I absolutely HAD to.
You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do?: Follow the chain of command and go to the next person with seniority. Inform them of the problem and provide evidence. Let them take care of it from there.
A very good friend of yours joins the server. Over the course of an hour, you’ve received multiple complaints about them not following rules, RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this can affect your friendship with them?: Take normal steps just as I would with a regular player. Punish them accordingly for the RDMing and minging.

Your application is hard to understand in some areas such as "I already dedicate so much time to it but do nothing to benefit it whilst playing, why not apply for staff? I get to dedicate time to server and support it and the players of it at the same time. Genuinely, I enjoy playing on the server and would like to support it through the time I already dedicate to it every day" the entirety of this answer seems to just be very repetitive also, and like you were just trying to stretch it to meet the requirement.
You do not feel confident in your staffing so why should we? "[b] I don't think I'm specifically better than anyone else in a certain area, and I don't think I should be accepted over anyone else."[/b]
[b]You state you are new to the community with only 150ish hours being less than a week, so I feel you should definitely play a little longer before applying. [/b]
[b]______________[/b]
[b]I do like your problem-solving part of your application [/b]
[b]I do think you could have potential if you played longer and if you researched about Nutscript commands [/b]
[b]Best Wishes,[/b]

I can 100% understand your concerns. What I will say, though? Multiple people have entered the staff team with less than or the same amount of playtime as me.

RE: sacred's Staff Application - Mudjug - 02-08-2021
-1 for almost the same points Mitch had. Your application just doesnt display "confidence". You have personally seen how our playerbase can be. If you cant have strong confidence in yourself, they will eat you alive and I would hate to see that happen to you. The only part I dont really agree with is needing more play time. But maybe more play time would give you more confidence.

Answers are bare or unfinished
Doesn't sound to be dedicated to staffing
No prior experience with Gmod staffing
His response is accurate. "Honestly? I don't have much going for me..."
I do not think you are fit for staff, sorry.
