Previous Admin Experience:
I’m just going to tell the whole story.
I have been roleplay since the start of my account. When I first got into Steam because of my friends, I played Team Fortress 2 for a little bit. The game was free and I didn’t buy any games. The summer steam sales came and I purchased Garry’s Mod. As soon as I got Garry’s Mod I was instructed to download the CSS textures to play Darkrp. I didn’t know much about Role-play, but I just went along with my friends. They showed me what I was missing. I didn’t play Steam for awhile. I was once a “Console player.” I regret those times (But I still had fun playing COD and other games, but to be honest, I would have had much more fun on Steam).
Well once I transferred to Steam I played Darkrp on Garry’s Mod. I played on the server called Dark Matter Role-play. It was once known as the number seventh best Darkrp server. I think the best times I have ever had were in Dark Matter. The community was great and my friends and I played so much. The server died out. This happens to a lot of servers. This happened for many reasons. The server owner treated the server with negligence, the server suffered from technical problems, many players on the server moved on in life, etc. Dark Matter was a simple server. To be honest, that is what makes a server great. Not the addons or plugins, but the community. That is one of the reasons why I found myself playing actively on Shockcore Gaming. Well next in the line was finding a new server. After complications on a couple other servers. I find myself on Evolution gaming. Another darkrp. (This is right before I found HL2RP). This server was cool. Not as good as Dark Matter, but still fun. I found myself in the staff and I had been beloved in the community and I returned that love by being the best that I could.
However, this is when I found HL2RP. One of my friends and I jumped into Revival HL2RP on City 17. My friend was very familiar with Half Life 2 and its lore. He taught me and there was the moment where I fell in love. We played for lots of time. We didn’t mostly play on Revival. While my friend was not around, I played on different servers. I was addicted. I played on many servers. These servers include Shock Core gaming. When I played on this server awhile back, I was not very informed on how to operate in a Half Life 2 roleplay server. I was noob. The funny thing was about when I try to apply to the server, I saw how long the application was (It was long when I was very new. I have come a long way since then). I was so intimidated that I never actually applied. I have some experiences to share, but I feel it unnecessary to share it here when I could just share it in the question below about how long I have played on SCG.
When I reconnected with my friend, we hopped between servers to find a good one. We found ourselves in Argon. This server was the first to entice me to apply for Civil Protection. This was the phase after playing as a citizen for awhile. My friend told me of the wonders of the whitelist and how it would spice things up for me. I applied; however, I was a mere novice and I didn’t really know much of the lore and how things worked. I was denied. Being that my friend was experienced, he was accepted. Being a great friend, he didn’t play without me. He didn’t play as the CIvil Protection because I couldn’t. We left Argon and was left to find another server. Later I would find that Argon would fall for a bit. Next, was the best part of the Half-Life 2 experience.
I played on Transcendence HL2RP. This was an amazing experience. After the disaster in Argon, I did not want to repeat the same mistake. I read up on the lore and shared games with my friend to play Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1, and Episode 2. I was very knowledgeable at this point. However, I only knew of the lore, the citizen role-play, and the mechanics of HL2RP. I applied at the forums of Transcendence for the Civil Protection whitelist. With my new knowledge of the gamemode, I was accepted. (Also, my friend and I applied and were the first applicants at the time.) We played so much. We played and played. However, my friend was much better than I. He reached the rank of SWORD O1 (Basically i1. Also, SWORD is an elite UNION unit that served in that server as a part of the army of the Sectorial himself). Me being new to the whole Civil Protection role-play, I reached O4. Then I got amputated in a research project in which a new vaccine was to be tested. (they called it the “Blue liquid” It was the butt of so much jokes by my friends. It was funny, but so unfortunate for me.) I restarted again, but this time, I was going to try to impress everyone. I got back to the same rank and then the server suffered a shutdown. This was a huge letdown for everyone apart of the community.
I was left to yet again find another server. To not suffer through the struggle of depending on other people to fulfill my friends and I’s fix for HL2RP, one of my friends hosted his own HL2RP server through his computer (This is the friend that I first played HL2RP with. Makes sense that he hosted it for what comes next later in the story). We played for awhile. Some people joined periodically, but we kept to ourselves for the most part. The next thing was a miracle. A person joined the server that would change our lives for the better. The player conversed with the friend that hosted the server. The player revealed that he owned his own server. I don’t quite recall what is was called, but it is not of importance for this story. The player felt for my friend, for they both ran their own server and sometimes the owner of a server goes through stressful moments while running a server. The player proposed to my friend that they jointly run a server. At this time, I had to go to sleep so I did not know what happened next. I was shown instead. The next revealed a new server that we played on called Viven HL2RP. This server was a very well done. This server was not the same server as the one the new player owned, but a newly coded server to replace that one. My friend was apart of a council of sorts. He along with the player met on the day and another very cool person that I met later in time.
This server involved me in a whole new experience in HL2RP: the CIvil Worker’s Union. In the Union, I was not a Doctor or Shop keeper. I owned a workshop. I invented new devices and tools. I also repaired items for a fee. One of the most fun parts was before I became a CWU. I was a street cleaner. To show my loyalty to the Union, I cleaned the streets for Loyalist points. I took this idea along with me into the CWU. I built a rake/broom tool that played as both of the tools. This was a fun idea to play with, because I could use the tool to clean more streets. (My character did really like cleaning the streets). The server had so many fun times. I saved an Officer from death. Also, I was the biggest snitch. It was the funniest thing. But hey, as a loyalist I was obligated to do so. I was just trying to survive in the cruel HL2 world. Well all fun things aside, the end was drawing near. One of the council member who actually ran the server broke the idea of the trinity. He began to make server decisions on his own and this really vexed the other two council members. The trinity broke. One of the council members (Which was the other member that I didn’t really know) broke off and said that he had enough. My friend really did not want to associate with the last other council member that much.
Now that we left the server, yet again for another time, we were left without a server to play on. During this time, we were not playing Garry’s Mod much. We played on the server hosted by my friend called Light Matter. We wanted to make it a thing and host it on a hoster. We did not have the funds because none of us had a job to keep the server alive.
To our surprise, Transcendence came back up later in time. Like before, I played a lot on this server. On the second time playing on the server, I was very experienced. I tried again at Civil Protection and I reached OfC. This time on Transcendence was even better. Also, at this time I received the rank of Administrator on the server and I did my best to outdo myself when I got the chance. The experience was action filled. The rebels had such a great area to cultivate and rise. I a civil protection had such a fun time try to foil the rebels. Through this, I was basically the most involved in the downfall of the rebels. One of my friends were actually apart of them. I captured him along with some of my commanding officers and he was used for so much than just to be amputated. He was converted to GENESYS. Wow, what a surprise. I was blown away. One of the most infamous units was the original GENESYS who rocked the UU symbol in his name. This new GENESYS was brainwashed into hating his old rebels partners. GENESYS and I busted in the base to find it was abandoned. This was just a bit of fun that I had. Well the server began to die out and then it was glitched and abandoned for awhile.
I transferred onto Inquisitive HL2RP which was started by a community member in Transcendence. The server was pretty good. Being known as a very great role-player, I became the City Administrator. This was a new experience and I learned lots. However, this new server was short lived for me. This is due to the fact that the server owner want to change the server into a Outlands server. Outlands isn’t my cup of tea, so I didn’t really play on it.
Transcendence resurfaced with a new fixed server. I was one of the people who first came back. At this time, I use my administrative power to make the server better. I gave the server owner many different ideas and suggestions. I built on the server to give it life. For my efforts I became a community owner. I earned the super admin rank and I did my best. I did my best to keep the server alive. The server was destined to die. The server owner began to neglect the server and it began to corrode away.
I stopped playing Garry’s Mod for awhile. I played some Darkrp for a bit which was a blast. I played other games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Grand Theft Auto V. Later I found ReynHolmes Industries. I played for a bit on the first day and the flame for the love that I had for HL2RP was ignited. I had so much fun so far. Now the rest of my role-play experience will turn out through time.
Give an example of FearRP in Twenty Lines:
1/request: I just witnessed an African American man mugging a man near the D-3 Fence.
2/me hears the static from his radio clear as a worried man starts to speak. The only clear words he could hear was ‘Mugging… D-3’ and with that he grabbed his radio, saying “Union 03 10-4, in route to last call,” and went into a full sprint into the D-3 area.
3** The man holding the request device would be seen at the end of the ally just before the fenced area. He is very well dressed and seems out of place.
4/me would run to the man, unclipping his stun stick with his right hand from his belt. “Citizen.” “Where is he?”
5**The citizen would have a look of horror as he responds, “He is just over there! Quick!” The citizen would point toward the corner leading to the fence.
6/me flicks the voltage to low on his stun stick as he rounds the corner. He sees a man grabbing another man while holding a knife. “Citizen! Drop the weapon!”
7**The mugger would look to the Unit, letting go of the man and dropped the knife in fear. He was like a deer in headlights.
8/me would cautiously walk to the man, holding his stun stick above his shoulder, ready to strike. “Wall! Now!”
9**The unit was not experienced enough to see what was about to happen next. The man who requested him stealthily walks up behind him and an auditable sound of a gun’s hammer clicking back could be heard.
10/me holds still as he hears the cocking of a gun just behind his head. He swallows hard as he contemplates as to what is going on.
11**The citizen stands behind him with a .357 pistol pointed to the units head. “Thank you for your… /amazing/ service.”
12**The mugger and the citizen in front of him start to laugh at the joke as the unit confirms in his mind that he was set up.
13**The gun is pressed against the back of the units head, forcing his head down under the pressure. The citizen behind him (Citizen1) says “Now turn off your little stick and drop it and drop any other weapons you may have… slowly.”
14/me would do as he is told. He uses his thumb to disengage his stun stick and opens his hand to let it drop to the ground with a thud.
15**Citizen1 taps the barrel of his gun against the back of the units head as he says “And your radio, too. Wouldn’t want your friends to join us, would we?”
16/me grunts in protest as he reaches his left hand down slowly and unclips his radio and lets it fall to the ground.
17**The mugger laughs as he kneels down to pick up the stun stick. He winds it up like a bat and hits the unit full force in the chest.
18/me would fall back from the hit, he gasps for air as the wind is knocked out of him. He tilts his head left to see his radio, he reaches for it while gasping.
19**Citizen1 would place his foot onto the Unit’s arm to prevent him from grabbing the radio. He would look down at the unit and hold his hand in front of him, wiggling his finger side to side. “Ah, no no no my friend.”
20 **Citizen1 would then wind his leg back and attempt to knock the unit out by kicking the unit in the head.
21/me would be knocked out from such a blow.
22**The group of citizens would loot the unconscious unit. They hear the boots of another unit coming down the alley and take off in the other direction.
Why do you deserve this position/Reason for Applying?:
Why do you deserve to be part of the staff team? Whoever may look at this application will see a whole deal of effort and passion. This is the first point of many to why I deserve this highly esteemed rank. Another thing is about experience on all of Garry’s Mod. In particular, I have mostly played Roleplaying servers. All in all, I have totalled around 2100 hours on Garry’s Mod. The two big game modes I have played on would have to be Dark Roleplay and Half-Life 2 Roleplay. Also, I have delved in the art of moderating on these particular servers. I did not list them in the section above about the ULX because Half Life 2 Roleplay servers do not include ULX. I have been staff on many HL2RP servers. These servers include LightMatter HL2RP and Transcendence Roleplay. Like I stated before, my time on the servers as a staff member was ended due to complications out of my grasp. (Not due to my moderating abilities.) I am a very hard worker and like to excel at everything I am participating in. This would also contribute to my ambitious quality. I see myself climbing the ranks and being the best. Also, I am very relaxed which means I don’t get frustrated or angry very often. I value roleplay and enjoy it highly. I believe that a person who appreciates his work will excel at it. Lastly to conclude this application, I would like believe that I am not biased nor am I favor certain people for their rank or anything of that sort. A violation of the rules is still a violation of the rules no matter who you are.
I understand that if I do not use this format, my application will be denied.
