  1. Hey Alex, Starting off, I've seen you in game quite frequently playing PD. Your activity is good and I've noticed your participation in a good amount of PD events. You have a good presence within the community especially through your role as a moderator. The application is off to a good start and I see a fair amount of activity from you on the PD discord. However, there are some key things I need to address. From what I've noticed, you are still somewhat new to PD. You've recently started to dedicate and apply yourself to PD, and I do think some more dedication and time is needed. PD Commissioner is a pretty big role and I just don't think I've seen an enough level of commitment required for this Commissioner role. You're Snr Sergeant which isn't bad but earning Inspector or higher would allow me to more confident in your ability as well as showing your dedication. Furthermore, I've noticed you aren't a probational trainer. Although probational trainer isn't necessarily a pre-requisite, training allows the Command team to see your dedication and commitment as well as ability to lead and your knowledge of the rules. Probational test marking and associated roles such as giving feedback are key responsibilities of a Commissioner, that would be greatly benefited through one's experience as a trainer. Your application is off to a good start but I would of liked to seen a lengthier response with more depth and specifics. Flesh out and expand on everything you've said, as well as including some new points, and you'll be good to go. I've also haven't really interacted with you a lot, so I don't have a good grasp of your traits nor personality and your fit within the Command team. Admittedly, I haven't on as much due to exams and I apologise, but from when I was frequently active - this is what I've gathered. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You on the right track but I do think more time and commitment will allow me to confidently +1 this application. Thus for now it'll be a -1 from me. Good luck!
  2. Hey Thyking, Starting off, what can I say, you are a great officer which is displayed through your large amount of dedication and care to the PD as well as to the other departments. You've put the work in, helping out command in game and out of game which is great to see. You've been on the server for a long time and have developed a solid understanding of the rules. You can definitely lead patrols and serve as a strong and firm presence. You've trained many probationals and co-hosted an event, already displaying multiple skills for Commissioner. Through your rank as 2IC and Chief Superintendent, you've shown your strong capability as a officer and player. However, despite all these positives, my main concern is that I cannot leave a confident +1. The main drawback is your maturity in accordance with how you sometimes act for a leadership role. Now, don't get me wrong, how you act and your maturity is fine, but for a position that comes with a lot of powers and privileges, I think there is further development needed. I think you sometimes have trouble controlling your temper or being too harsh. Having a leadership role such as commissioner, means being a role model, being the bigger person and remaining calm especially in situations of frustration. Furthermore, being positive and to emphasise teaching before criticism is something that is valued. You display these attributes, but like I mentioned before, I reckon these traits need to be improved on. Take an active stance and monitor your behaviour, remain calm in situations even if the other person is completely wrong. Unfortunately, I also have some level of doubt that you might overuse your powers but further observation through your role as 2IC will give me some more confidence. Also your application is good, but I reckon expanding on it more and changing it up a little. Include your more recent experiences as well as addressing feedback and how you've improved. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Considering everything and after a good think, I'm unfortunately going to -1. This was a tough choice, but just I don't have enough confidence for a solid +1. You have all the potential but it's just the one part you have to work on. Take on this feedback whether your accepted or not, and I'll look forward to observing your behaviour in game. Good Luck! <3
  3. All the best, love you Jack <3
  4. Hey Ragnar, Starting off, you've got 2w+ playtime and your active on the server and discord which is great. I see your dedication in PD, especially to detective where you've become DT-XO. You've matured a lot since I started and you are a great leader and player. You know how to better the RP experience and I enjoy playing with you. You've lead a successful event and participated in many which is definitely good to see. Despite having a few warns, I trust that you've learnt from your mistakes and improver your behaviour. Although, I do still have some criticism. Your application is somewhat low effort, I would of loved to see more content and depth in your answers. Moreover, I actually don't see you playing general PD too often nor train, of course this isn't a definite requirement but I would of liked to see more activity there. From what I've seen in game, you usually play detective so your only sergeant in PD. I understand that there isn't really any Detective positions to apply for, but just seeing more presence in PD would of made me more confident about this app. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But considering everything, it'll be a +1 from me. Although you have some negatives, I believe your ability as a leader and your general activity and dedication outweighs your flaws. I would definitely look forward to having you on the team. Good luck!
  5. Hey Dallas, So starting off, good start to your application as it is going in the right direction! However, there are some areas you need to improve on: Playtime + Warns: Now 3w isn't the greatest for 2d and although it was 3 months ago, I suggest you play some more and show us you've learnt from your mistakes. 2d is just the minimum for trusted and I feel as you haven't fully developed the needed traits for the role and are kind of rushing into this. In game presence: I've seen you in game occasionally but I haven't had any particular interactions with you. So along with increasing your playtime I suggest you develop your community presence as a trustworthy player. Discord and forum activity: Now, your forum activity is not bad but interacting with the community more will do a great deal. Help out more throughout the forums and discord, showing how you aid the community out of game. Application: Your application has some good content but you need to write some more and be more in depth. Take a look at accepted applications and write around how much they do. As I said, your off to a good start but expand on those points more. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything considered, I'm going to have to unfortunately -1 this application. Good luck!
  6. Yeah, are we focusing on wiremod or building itself?
  7. Hey thanks man <3, even though I'm sad I submitted it late, I'm still really happy as this event was really fun. I'm glad you made this and I'm looking forward to any other events! It was a good experience and helped me build something I'm happy about. Good job man and to all the participants!
  8. For those with high taste *sorry for the poor editing haha Good luck everyone <3
  9. Hey Slimes, Starting off 1w and no warns is excellent as everyone has said. Your playtime is great and shows dedication to this server. I have seen you in game and you discord activity is good. Your presence is good and you are pretty well known through the server as well as being a chill & friendly player from what I've seen. However, I don't think you've really gotten there just yet as there are some areas you need to work on. Application: Trusted is about helping out the community and serving as a role model. This should of been accomplished before you've even got the role. In 'Why do you believe that you deserve Trusted?' you go over how you've invested a lot of time into the server but haven't talked about how you have helped out the community. You go over this in 'Explain how you can help the community with your Trusted rank?' but as I said before you should be already doing this. The second question is more about how you can further help the community out after you've received the role - such as being more reliable. You can still cover how you intend to help but that should be mainly focused in the first question. A bit more content and depth would also be nice. Take a look at accepted applications, that really helps. Forum activity: As Kel has said, a lot of your messages are applications, so for the most part you aren't really active on the forums. Increase your activity here and help out through the forums. Rules: Unfortunately with a recent encounter, I saw you didn't know that you had to warn before KOS for citizens whilst in a raid. You also said that you didn't use binds which is sort of concerning. I hate bring this up and even though it's somewhat of a small thing, I do think it needs to be acknowledged. So maybe some more playtime and another read over the rules will help out here. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything consider, I unfortunately will have to -1. You've definitely improved from your last app but there's still areas to be improved. Good luck!
  10. Hey Thyking, To start off, 1w 2d playtime and 0 warns is great, so keep that up. I definitely trust you to know and follow the rules, so that's good. I do think you have learnt from your last demotion and application where you've started to act more mature and serve as a role leader. I've seen you helping out new players all the time and for the most part you've been a chill and friendly player. There has been quite a bit of thought and effort into your application which is good to see. You are also quite active in the forums and discord so your presence in & out of game is well known. Aside from that, there is just some small problem regarding your application. I would like to see just some more content, it's good at where it's at but I reckon a more in-depth response could of been better. Also your Explain how you can help the community with your Trusted rank? has some parts which vaguely belong in Why do you believe that you deserve Trusted? thus just having some more points on how you will help after specifically would have been nice. Also I know you've had issues with your maturity but I trust that you will keep that in check. With all things considered, this will be a +1 from me! Good luck!
  11. Hey Dan Andrews, To start off, your application has some good amount of effort into it. No warns and 2w playtime is great, keep it up. You seem like a friendly and chill player. And your trusted role definitely gives you some reliability. However, To be honest, I don't really know who you are and although I've seen you in game recently, I gather that you've started to play again or something along the lines of that. I do suggest increasing your playtime and presence within the community, especially in pd and swat. Dedicate some more time into the role, making even try out 2IC first. You are only Lance in Swat which would be fine if other areas of your prerequisites were excellent. Your application is good but there could be some more content and depth. Expand on your points more as you've got a good start. Considering all this, I am going to unfortunately -1. Give it some more time and you'll definitely be set. Good luck! *On a personal note: Let me know when you wanna get trained for probational trainer
  12. Hey Beanboi, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Starting off, good job on your playtime, 1w 1d is certainly a lot and shows your dedication to the server. And 3 warns for that amount isn't bad and given that it was 1-2 months ago it is much less of a problem. However, In game activity: I've seen you around the server occasionally but personally but I haven't had any interactions with you. Although you have 1w of playtime I suggest you interact with the community more in game. Get people to know you better and take some time by helping out in /ooc and elsewhere whenever you can. Forum and discord activity: There is not much forum and discord activity. Helping out through both platforms is a good way to show are trusted material by helping out the community there. Your lack of presence in the forum and discord community is lacking so I suggest to improve on this as well. Application: As Dexter says, you aren't getting to what we are looking for in trusted. It seems to me you have somewhat rushed this as your paragraphs aren't formatted well or as cohesive as it can be. Taking some time to format and read over what you have written shows you are putting more thought and effort into your application. Continuing on from what I said at the start, it's cool to know what your experiences are but you aren't focusing on what trusted is about - being a role model and helping out throughout the community. For 'Why do you believe you deserve trusted', not much of it shows us why you can be trusted/ of trusted material, talk about how you help out the community. Your 'Helping out the community' section is better but expand on it more and be more in depth. For both sections, I suggest you write more and take a look at accepted applications and see what they write about. >>> *addressing 'reply to Dexter' and application in general Keep in mind trusted is for those who want to further help out the community through this role. You can have some fun in your application, but there is a balance. You are not taking this seriously enough and comparing job roles to having fun in your application is not the same - trusted role is not for 'fun' and requires a good amount of effort to be put in. I appreciate that you play gmod to have fun, as do the rest of us, but if you aren't willing to take this seriously to the right level, VIP is always there. Trusted is given to those who are role models and have a dedication and care for this community which is evidently expressed in the effort of their applications. Immaturity: I'm not fond of your reply to Dexter, there is a right and wrong way to handle this and the way you have, shows a level of immaturity. Dexter has spend quite a bit of time writing this out, all for your benefit and I suggest you acknowledge this as I agree with everything he says. Take his constructive criticism more effectively. Also regarding your warns, you seem to be making somewhat of an excuse regarding that you were new. Now that is fine and the same happened when I was new, but you don't really acknowledge your mistake or say specifically that you have learnt from them. Instead you kind of pass the blame, which shows some lack of maturity. Address your mistakes confidently and show that you have learnt. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With all things considering, I am unfortunately going to have to -1. Sorry if my feedback sounds aggressive and please keep in mind that there's nothing personal in our responses, we are just giving our honest opinions and feedback. Good luck!
  13. Hey, To start off, there is obviously a great deal of effort and thought put into the application. You have taken more than 10 min to write this out which is a good impression. And 1 warn for 2 days, I guess isn't the worst especially considering it was when you started. You've also acknowledged your flaws such as your forum activity, showing a level of maturity. Although I appreciate the time you've taken to write this application, there are a few areas you need to work on. Playtime/activity: As Dexter stated, the 2d playtime is just the bare minimum. I definitely feel you have rushed into this application, represented by your lack of playtime and community presence - which I'll go over later. Furthermore, despite that you've received the warn when you were new, I strongly suggest that you increase your playtime to show that you have fully learnt from your mistakes. Also for 2d of playtime and considering you warn was a month ago, it gives me an impression that your activity is a bit spotty (for trusted). Obviously that could also mean that you've started playing again, which then I would suggest you to play more before applying for trusted. This continues onto our next issue. Community presence: One of the prerequisites of trusted is being well known throughout our community in game and out. I don't especially remember you and I think I've vaguely seen you in game once. As I discussed above, play some more and interact with players and members of the community. Although it seems others in this application know who you are, make yourself more well known with more of the community. As this is quite an important prerequisite. Forum and discord activity: Another point is that your forum and discord activity is definitely lacking. You've just made your forums account yesterday, and this was your first message. I also don't really see any discord activity either, where you only have one or two messages. You have acknowledged this, but considering there is essentially no presence out of game, much more activity is needed here. Show you help out and interact with the community in the forums and discord. Application: Despite the good amount of effort and thought put in your application through the amount of content and formatting, I'd have to say that a majority of it is somewhat irrelevant. For 'Why do you believe that you deserve Trusted?', you talk a lot about your experiences in game such as your ranks in pd and how you've attained 100% in every test. Good job on this, but this is not what trusted is about. Trusted is a reward for those who help out the community and even though you have a lot of individual talent, that isn't really trusted material. It also seems you are focused on the trusted perks which you highlight on during the second paragraph. Although you are mainly discussing how you will not abuse it, the emphasis on the trusted perks and lack of on how you help out the community, is a little worrying. When you say "Mainly my intentions lay in improving the quality of my base build/architecture to decrease the amount of "set-up" time required to play." but that's not what trusted is about, through your dedication and care for the community you gain reliability and a presence as a role model but along with are rewarded with trusted perks. I suggest you take a look over other accepted applications and really think about what being trusted is - helping out the community and being a role model. Mainly focus on this and your application will start to look a lot better. Warns: As Dexter said, I am a bit concerned but it shouldn't be too much of an issue. And also suggest you post the actual image of the date of you warns just for reference. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Considering all this, I am unfortunately going to leave -1. You definitely are off too a good start but some more time invested in the community will help out a great deal.
