<> Steam Name: Amber
<> Nickname if any: Amber
<> Age: 19
<> Time Spent Regularly on the Server: A couple hours a day, it was just Christmas, so I've gotten a lot of games recently, and want to play those.
<> When did you join the server: About the beginning of November? Mid of November?
<> Timezone: Mountain Standard Time
<> Have you ever been in trouble with a staff:  Nope.
<> Staff recommendation: Gray


<> Give us a reason to consider your application. I don't have many reasons. Maybe even just a single one. I wanted to learn how to be a GM, do events, be a good GM with NPC's, although I say my hate towards them. I do think that even as a GM, you should learn to use them.

<> Describe Yourself: Well, you know my age. I'm into Cosplay, I love video games, I am a vivid star wars fan, I in general just love RP, I have been RP'ing since I was 8.

<> Why do you wish to become a gamemaster? My personal ideas of being a GM, is that I wish for people to have fun, and interactive RP. A lot more roll based then other events have it. As bellow, I will do server wide events, but I would also like to do a lot of char development, as people find it more interesting.

<> How important is the gamemaster rank to you and the server? To me? I don't think it's that important, any admin can do event's, can make RP. But the gamemasters are the role that literally makes the events, they try and make it fun for everyone on the server.

<> Gamemasters are not considered staff, what is your opinion to or against it? At first I thought they were meant to only do Event's, but I have been informed otherwise, still. that doesn't change my original answer. Which would be, I think it's fine.

<> Create a format of your own passive rp event and an off planet/ NPC spawned events. I would be based around mostly Passive RP or event's on Nar Shaddaa, or even if I were to go off planet, it wouldn't include NPC's.

To elaborate on what I mean. I mean that I will be doing either Char development, if people want it. I'll ask in OOC, see who want's it then, I can go off that.

For server wide events, I would rather do roll based events then NPC based event's, because I find them tiresome, as they are all the same, but with different story and a different map (somtimes).
But, for event wise, this is what I would do for some scenario's.
Stealth Event - A new force has come into the system, they're looking for some help for some help with a (new name corporation or lore corporation), and they have hired the hunter's to infiltrate a factory and destroy a manufacturing site. With giving them no intel on what they are making. They have to enter, secure the site quietly, either make it so that people have to wave off a security team from an alarm, or have them fight them in RP. All sneaking around would be done with signs and an over watching admin. After they have infiltrated, they will find themselves at the heart of the factory, finding that the factory has been manufactoring medical supplies and weapons for the rebellion, as one of head's of the facility has told you, after that, they must exfiltrate and think of a plan towards taking down the new corporation.

Loud Event - (I don't hope for it but these almost always have to have NPC's, which is annoying to me as I don't like using them.) The hunter group has been tasked with coming in and helping one force with stabilizing a country, the lord of the land will pay heavily for them to eradicate a local rebellion. Either, they can do it, the rebellion on this planet (not currently named) is destroying the lord's lands and burning the villages that do not join them. Or, they can help the rebellion, the rebellion when you meet them, are farmers with blasters that barely know how to use them, and the king has lied to you as they are fighting the men of the king to protect their families, Not a single town has been burned by the rebellion, as they have gotten there to late to defend it from the kings men.


<> Past Experiences? As a GM? I have little, and that's why I made this APP, as I've wanted to learn more about being a GM. But I have experience on what player's want when it does come down to RP, and event's, or at least what I've seen people wanted. 

As a staff, about 6 months, but that's why I want to join GM's on this server, gives me a chance to fully learn and experience how being a GM is. To the extents of people wanting to know, I have had 3 months of being a Super Admin, and 2 months as a regular admin.


<>  Any issues with any rules or regulations or any suggestions? Negative.

+0 Because apparently people put these useless grade shit on applications now.
Saying this as not an asshole and as a person. Your events are half assed with literally a single sentence detailing only portion on an event and nothing else. You also have no GM experience other than this server. You explained what you want to do with the role but not why you yourself want it, and you seem to have a misconception on GMs only being used to do events. And finally you didn't actually even state why they would even examine your application just that people said you should which means you have no motivation to use this role, but this is all my opinions that should at the very least be taken with seriousness. 
Overall the application was not done that well at all and I suggest fixing it by using my criticism. Also I can feel Octavian or some other staff angrily typing something out to hate on me as they read this so just going to make this clear, don't try it please.

I don't necessarily disagree with this, whoever is to look at this +0 should actually read and take it seriously, I would give the same criticism in my own way if I was to do so.

Anatoli, I do somewhat agree with what you said. Amber as a friend, I am going to say this as nice as possible. This post seems like you really don't care about the GM position or really care to become one. You seem to have no passion or care to become one, you even said it yourself you don't have a reason to become a GM and that people told you to become one. Also, as a GM, all of your event can't be on one person, they must be server wide. and must involve most of the server, you can't just do what Cross did, or what Remnants did, and balance it around one person or faction, so please if you are going to try and do that, I recommend you become an actual staff. Also, with what Lady said, Anatoli does make great points, his posts should be looked at as any other normal post.

Don't roast Anatoli for his opinion.

I've been on other servers with different ways to handle applications, I had simply put one up as I knew people wanted me to at least apply. I'll fix it, but it'll be a bit of time from when I post this.

Otherwise to answer a couple things.

To Fuze - I care for this position, as if it were staff. That's why I'm applying, I've applied for other servers and they've declined me for even worse reasons. I may sound like I don't care through this app, but I would prefer to at least try becoming a GM. To the thing about events, It wouldn't be on one person. Yes, I will do single person char development, but I would also do server wide. I simply however do not like NPC based event's as, personally, I have found them to become boring and linear, being the same thing at all times. Same maps, same one shot if you get hit NPC's.

To Anatoli - The point behind those event's that I had stated, were simply as an example, as above I have had other places handle applications differently and I have adapted to what they have liked, thus I will be adding onto it. Really, thinking about it now, I don't have a good enough reason to become a GM. I seriously don't. Maybe it's that I can't think of one, maybe it's because I literally just don't have one. Either way, I'm not going to bullshit an answer, if I get declined due to that. Then whatever.

There is no good way to put this, as even I think you'll guys think me differently after reading this but here;
I may sound careless in this app, It my look like I just truly couldn't care if I got the position, but I don't care if I get declined, because I'm not actually in the position as of yet. There really is no downside to being declined, I tried and failed, if it's possible, I'll try again later after I get experience. If I get accepted, I'll do everything in my power to be the best I can be with what experience I do have. I'll ask all the questions I can, I'll try and get help from other gm's to try and get events done, even, I'll try to do NPC based event's. But my point, I want to put energy into something, but not all the energy I can put, just to get declined, I have done that before and it felt horrible afterwards, so my apologies for the lackluster app, I'll fix it. If I get declined for any of the multiple reasons, then whatever.

Thank you for your input.

ACCEPTED-I'm a firm believer of actions speaking louder than words. I'll be giving you details as to what you'll be doing as a Trial before you run any event, to see how much effort you put forward into the position.
