-
Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:
The last warning I got was on July ago and has expired, And before that any warn is a year or two old
-
Do you have any previous experience as a Gamemaster/Event Manager in a community?:
No, But we all have to start somewhere.
-
Do you have any previous experience with serious roleplay?:
Yes, as an Executive researcher I did a Cross-test between SCP 682 and 914, This involved a GM, The Test was pre-planned between me and the GM, 682 would be put in 914 on rough and a pile of dust would be in the output, Then I would use the "/it" Command and say the following "The dust starts to reform" The GM then TPed 682 to the output area in 914 and the pile of dust disappears to signify that 682 was the dust and regenerated into his normal form.

I have many other examples Some of which are in Nu-7 and E-11, But I didn't want to write too much in this part, You can ask me about it and I'll reply to you with the answer.

-

On school days I aim for 1 to 2 Hours, But on Thursday Friday, and Saturday I am on for 6-7 hours (I have no life).
-
Why do you want to become a Gamemaster on our server?:
The reason I wanted to become a GM is for two things, First I want to help out in the server, I know many people capable of amazing RP but are left out due to bad timing or them playing at different times than the server's high pop, Those who I want to become a GM for. The other reason is that the other day I was in a teamspeak and an event was happening, Some people were complaining about how events aren't like they used to be, And I somewhat agreed And Said that it could be that this event is just not for us, And this is gonna sound corny But someone said in the teamspeak to be the change I want to see.

Now it does sound corny but he is right, Complaining does nothing but annoy everyone, Hence why I want to be a GM.

-
What do you think you would be able to help us with on the server? Why are you special over the other applicants?:
I don't see how any applicant can differ from any other, All GMs have their own style of events and their own way of making RP, I mainly want to focus on DPTs who lack RP without events like medical and IA they don't seem to be doing much RP outside of some simple stuff, But this is only my point of view.

If I have anything different from other applicants it could be my timezone, As when it is 2 PM for me it is 12 PM for the BST, And I could host events for the early players before high pop arrives, But overall I think everyone has their own creativity and imagination they can use for events, As some events aren't even held by GM like the "baby 939" event that happened 5 months back.


Please List 3 small event ideas (Which would involve at least one side of the server):
Old
"The new chef", An experienced chef is hired by site to boost morale, He would be stationed outside medbay and would cook food for those who ask, He would have 3 stoves to cook for as many people as possible at once, And I wouldn't be the person who plays the chef, I would let Theresa the only chef who RPs play this role, She Would also have an assistant to help her get ingredients from Dblock kitchen, The reason for this event, Is because am always starving and that's the case for most combatives, This would be a nice little thing to add in between combat.
OOC: Lore about the chef, Age: 26, A 175CM female who worked at site 60, She has a culinary education from CIC(The Culinary Institute of Canada at Holland College in Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island), She graduated from the CIC at age 20 top of her class, And being hired a 3 Michelin star restaurant which is a cover-up to hire chefs for site, At site 60 She was booked out by DPTs as she has mastered the art of Culinary, She was most hired by the EC which what led to her being recommended to site 65 for morale boost.
New
"The new chef", An experienced chef SCP is moved to site to boost morale, He would be stationed outside medbay and would cook food for those who ask, He would have 3 stoves to cook for as many people as possible at once, He would also have an assistant to help him get ingredients from Dblock kitchen, The reason for this event, Is because am always starving and that's the case for most combatives, This would be a nice little thing to add in between combat.
OOC: This Chef is, in reality, SCP 9984.
The TL;DR of this is as follows: He is a
human male of eastern Basque descent with a height of 173CM it has no anomalous powers till asked to make food, He is able to make food out of weird abnormal ingredients, As long as they share a similar atomic structure(Molecules atoms Ions etc.), He is also able to make food out of unknown ingredients, Which show normal food properties.

This part is from me, If presented with weird ingredients, The food would also give effects such as nausea or an increase or decrease in height, teleporting away from the area ECT.

I hope this is all possible with the GM tools, And if not am sure I can come up with a way.
"The little guy", A new person is hired as a doctor for site, Issue is he was exposed to an SCP that made him tiny, Too tiny. This doctor would roam around site and do the job of any other doctor, He would heal people perform ESTs, Give out medication, and help in surgeries.

OOC: I would ask a consultant or the DPT head of Medical for the best SR Doctor or CM they have, I would then talk to that person and see if they are okay with the event happening, If so, We would put the event on a day that is good for as both.

The way he was turned tiny was by an SCP known as SCP-8084(This SCP does not exist).

This SCP is an insect that looks like an ant, It's immune to almost all forms of damage except drowning, Ironic. If placed within the game it would have 25K HP, It does no real harm other than turning people as tiny as it(0.78CM), It turns people tiny by just simply touching them, It as fast as a normal ant and has all its normal looks, The way you get turned smaller is through time, Meaning you will start shrinking slowly till you reach 0.78CM.

The doctor was held by the ant for 2.4Sec before he realised he was shrinking, Its believed that no true damage was done to his brain hence why he is able to continue being a doctor.

On the day of the event, I would size him down to 0.15, And give him the stuff a doctor would have, I would help the doctor in things that need commands and stuff like that, But most of the RP will be left between him and site.
"A need for law", On some normal day, Site-60 contacts Site-65 asking if they could send over someone who broke the FLC and needs to be Tribunaled, The Reason is that he is a well-liked guy and people are too biased towards his favor, thats why they ask that he is provided an ambassador as a lawyer and to be judged there.

OOC: He would be tried for unethical termination of three Dclass, Blurry videos and grainy photos would be prepared beforehand and sent to the judge of the case, Who would then give it to the defendant and prosecutor to review, This would be a CL3 tribunal so all could attend, This would also be a fair trail the only place i would come in for is at the start to introduce the guy to site-65, The rest is up to the players.

Edit: The three parties (Judge, Defendant and prosecutor) Would all be informed 2-3 days prior to scheduled a time when everyone is free, And the site will know about the trail an hour before it happens.
Old
"Weapons talk?!", While CI are in downtime, Johnson's weapon suddenly starts talking, "HEY, Put me down you are your dirty hands! :mad:", Why can the weapon talk?!, Well whatever it is it seems helpful, It gives us ammo and it not a bad weapon, And it can give call outs, But it does not like taking orders.

OOC: I would model myself into a weapon, And play the role, I would stay within the base of CI to not interrupt any other RP, This would be done in downtime when things are calm as well, It would just be a joke event to make everyone laugh a bit.



The weapon SCP, Wouldn't be hostile towards anyone, It can shoot but never at a player, If a player trys to harm it, It will run away instead and seek help from another player, It doesn't have a set HP but if needed to kill it, The way would be to put it in water to rust it or in acid or high heat to melt it.

Its powers are giving ammo, Shooting without a player, And high resistance to physical damage, Its also able to talk like a human without a mouth or vocal cords, And the sounds comes from the barrel as it can not shoot and speak at the same time.

I know you only asked for three ideas, But I got this fourth one involving CI.

New
"The sales man", On a normal day for CI loud consistent knocking can be heard on the CI entrance blast door, CI would ignore it, but it won't go away, After gathering the men and forming a firing line the door opens, They see a man in a brown suit with a black suit case, The man says "Interested in buying?", CI Can tell this isn't a normal human, wanting to figure out what it is they invite it in, And that's their biggest mistake.

OOC:

Lore of the SCP: Its SCP-1879.

TL;DR, The SCP 1879-1 is the door itself, It does not change how the door looks but it marks the door as a sort of "SpawnPoint", Whenever a human steps within 2 meters of a -1, A SCP 1879-2 is formed, The entity is approximately 1.7m in height and appears to be of Caucasian descent and indeterminate age, Being about 29~39, Once it appears a constant knocking will start of the door till it is opened, once opened the SCP would let itself in and introduce itself as a salesman.

This SCP sells stuff ranging from but not limited to LP record of "Abbey Road" signed by all four members of The Beatles, a leather belt, and a Glock 18 pistol.

Once you announce you are buying any item, it will give a price that doesn't involve money most of the time, Example(Taken from the SCP website):

Object Received: One (1) red rose
Price Statement: "All I'm asking for is your heart."
Results: Subject expired due to the demanifestation of his cardiovascular system.
Its to be noted once the SCP offers a price it will not go away till the sale is done, If it is attacked or wounded it will retreat for the time being.
This event would come back a few times as it takes new orders and gives the product to who ordered.
I know this SCP does not exist in Canada but I thought it would go nicely as an event and hey SCPs are abnormal so there shouldn't be a normal of where its at :3.

Please List an Map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server)
"Site Has Fallen" Its Code black, Every SCP is on the loose, ERT Has died all hope is lost, As O5 reaches for the nuke Type Green breaks down the door and kills the O5, The Nuke hasn't been called and the Site Advisors on the surface know that surface will be in danger if nothing is done, SA contacts whatever is left of the tech expert team and tell them to disable the elevators and that the very safety of pinewood depends on that, The tech experts just manage to do so before meeting their fate, The SCPs are sealed within the remains of the site, Most of SA has escaped and managed to call in more ERT, This time they can't fail.

OOC: The Idea of this event is the map would be changed to a destroyed version of the site, GSD Dclass E-11 and misc roles (Tech expert ect.) will be changed to a weaker version of ERT to try and retake the site maybe even with the help of GOC(depending on where they stand when this event happens), While CI see this as the perfect time to kidnap the CL4 staff that are hiding in garage, This is where DEA, Nu-7, A-1, and O-1 would come in, As they try to fight off CI and protect the SA, ECA Ect.

The people playing the SCPs will be non-GMs but would be handpicked by GMs to avoid Minges from playing SCPs like 939.

I have had this idea in my mind ever since they added triple breaches 2 years ago, And it would be difficult to pull off, But would be one hell of an event.
List an example mission for each of the following:
O-1: "Can't forget basics", On a normal day in site, An ECM Presses his panic button, O-1 starts sweeping ECO and one of them sees text on a wall, "Have you forgotten the basics?", As the O-1 reads that he gets teleported to a white room separated by a glass wall, On the other side is the ECM handcuffed with a gunman behind him, The O-1 is then asked questions about the COE, They have to answer 5 correct out of 8, And if they can't, The ECM will have a hard time.

OOC: I would first ask an ECM for permission to kidnap him for the event, I and the ECM would prepare the questions, They would be simple and not too complex, any O-1 who reads the text would be teleported so any amount of O-1 can be in the white room at once.


The SCP that kidnapped the ECM is something like the event "Site-24 The Death Game show", This SCP is also a reality bender and is much stronger than TG and 8837, Its able to make matter out of nothing and even change how others think, But what limit its powers is that for it to kill someone they need to be a victim of their death game show, Meaning it will never out straight kill someone but would put them on the game show and wait for them to get a question wrong before killing them.

This SCP is sentient and can be reasoned with, It has a functional brain and anatomy of a human, How it looks is unknown as it wears a mask and a suit with gloves, Its to assume that it has a height of 189CM, But that can change as it can change its own looks and body parts.

This SCP does have feelings but most of it is dulled out do to its powers, If an anchor is ever used on it, Its more human feelings would come out such as guilt pity sadness, And anger, When under no anchor effect all its feelings are fury bloodlust and hate, its recommended to only reason with it once an anchor is down, And if needed to reason within without one, Well It wouldn't listen.
A-1: "The Ordinary Man", O5-5 "The Ordinary Man" Comes to visit site-65 one day to remind them of normal, As A-1 escorts him to F3 They look away for a moment, and when they look back He vanishes, A-1 need to find him, But the issue is, he is too normal He looks like every other doctor and researcher, And its A-1 to find out where he wandered off to.

OOC: There isn't much to be explained but I wouldn't end the event once they found him, But would ask for a tour of site and comment about how abnormal things are, But wouldn't ask for anything to change, The reason for that is to give A-1 some laughs about how this person can be a member of O5.
Nu-7: "Have you trained?", [O-Comms] <Site-60(Nu-7)-Site-65> "Establish secure comms? Y/N", Once established, "<Site-60(nu-7)-Site-65> "We are wounded, We are about two kilometers from your site, We need aid, Open the gates for us."

OOC: This would follow a wounded Nu-7 LT from Site-60, Whose site got attacked and overrun by CI, As he was the only one to escape He heads to Site 65 to make sure they are prepared for something as bad as the raid that happened to him, This event would be somewhat of a training, That would include dupes on the GM plain.

Lore about the Nu-7 LT: Nu-7 LT Neal "Fear" Hyland from Site-60, At the height of 201CM, of Indian descent, He is the embodiment of bravery, Yet he failed. How ironic.

The Nu-7 LT would train the Nu-7 by using two Dupes made by me, One which would consists of a large forest area, And the other Which would include barricades broken down cars derbies ECT.

The training would be recommended to the Nu-7 CO's if refused the event would mainly focus on his story.

His story if used: On one quiet night, Nu-7 are in surface bunks playing cards, Except three who are watchman for the night, One of which is LT Neal "Fear" Hyland, Neal thought it would be a quiet night as it has been for the past month, As he was chatting to the man next to him, A sniper bullet goes through his head, Cold body falls on the ground, The LT is shambles hides inside the watchtower, But he forgot his job, He needs to warn them.

But no, He cares more about his life, He runs into garage, grabs a humvee and drives away from site as bullets go through his car.
He lied to site-65 Site didn't fall because of an overwhelming amount of CI,
it fell because he didn't do his job.
Old
E-11: "Stop mocking me", A weird SCP has appeared on site, It first appeared in medbay and it seems to just copy any word that is followed by "I just want to [Activity]" Or anything along those lines, It also shapeshifts to whoever says that thing Example: SR Doctor Alan crane "I just want to rest", The SCP would shapeshift into Alan crane and keep repeating the line "I just want to rest" Every 20-30 Seconds.

It's up to E-11 to secure and contain this SCP and find out if it's any danger to site.
OOC:

A full explanation of this SCP, The SCP would have 15K HP his normal look would first be like type green-A, The SCP has the following powers, Shapeshifting teleporting and cloaking, It can turn hostile but would do no physical harm but instead would try to do mental damage to the person who harms it, This would work by use the 323 swep on that player, The SCP will also cloak and disappear if it thinks its in danger.
New
E-11: "Deer in the walls", On one fine day in E-11 bunks, Its downtime and everyone is as bored as ever, CO's talking about changes, And while CPT REDACTED Was writing a document he noticed that his landline phone is missing, He put his clipboard down and looks around, When he came back his clipboard was gone as well. . . "What? Who is messing with me? This is not the fucking time for this." As the CPT turns around he sees IT, A deer with eyes so abnormal it's awful its legs are weird, And as soon as it appeared it disappeared. . . . . "/e11 I think there is a deer in our bunks. . . ."
OOC: The SCP is SCP-6448, The TL;DR is simply that its a deer with abnormal features as follows.
. Legs bent backwards
. Barrel-chested/bloated abdomen
. Emaciation
. Eyes belonging to unrelated animals
. Forward-facing eyes
. Jerky movements
. Loss of fear towards humans
. Tendency to walk on two hind legs
. General bodily disfigurement

This SCP is known to stalk humans and steal their weapons and objects, Its unsettling to see this deer, Now my part in it is to allow it to turn invisible to add suspense, The Deer would hunt E-11 and take items from dispensers that they used, suddenly appear behind them and disappear, Slightly damage them to scare them.

Its up to E-11 on what to do with the deer I don't really think there is a "Must-Path" They should use and I would adapt as the event goes.
CI: "Is this for sale?", CI was contacted by a usual buyer, He asked if he could go to their base personally and he consented to be blindfolded and taken there, The reason? Well, He is tired of just hearing about the SCPs he wants to see them with his very eyes, CI Agrees, As why would Johnson give up easy cash? And so he is transported to the base, After arriving he inspects the SCP, and starts a discussion about the price.

OOC: This would happen as SCP 323 or 8854 is kidnapped and not SCPs that are stored in the foundation, As if it's with Surface SCPs no harm is done to other factions if sold.


Lore about the "Buyer": Reed Walter who is known for his underground name as "The inspired", A wealthy man who gains his money from selling art, His Art is "Abstract" And suspected to be made from real human blood, This Man is from Asian descent whose height is about 189CM age ranging from 35~40, The reason he is called the inspired is due to the fact most of his paintings are inspired by people killed by SCPs, The SCPs which he bought.

His paintings was never suspected to be a result of CI due to the way he moves them around, Using mules trafficking ECT., To make sure he is never caught.

He has bought from CI before but never the one near SITE 65, He heard about SCP 323 and 8854, And he couldn't hold in his excitement when he thought about 8854 who can strip someones flesh and skin, And how 323 makes people go insane,
He was Inspired.
He knew some CI-C from the CI base near Site-60, And he used some phone calls to get incontact with site 65, Which brings us to today.
UNGOC: "The enemy of my enemy", In the main lobby of UNGOC a weird door appears, And out comes a man in a suit, "I know you guys are not a fan of people with powers like me, But I need help killing a... What do you call it? Ahh a Reality bender"

OOC: This can go both ways, If they want to help the man, They would be taken to a dupe of a broken down house that is twice the size of the ranger building, The TG would not be hostile as to give a chance for UNGOC to RP instead of shooting on-site, The TG Would comply till UNGOC becomes hostile towards it, If UNGOC Don't want to help the man, And instead try to capture him, The man would take on the appearance of a UNGOC and hide in their base, And GOC has to find him.

Both SCPs would have their own powers, Lets name the suited man TG-C and the other bender to TG-D, First TG-C, He would have all TGs powers and ontop the power to cloak teleport and regrow body limbs, Aswell as being able to summon doors to travel to different areas in the universe.

While TG-D would have 8837s powers he would also have super human speed and strength too fast for TG-C to escape from hence why he is asking for help, TG-D isn't hostile towards anyone except other reality benders.

TG-D would have 30K HP as he is physical stronger, while TG-C Would only have 10k.

"

Why the hatred?", reality benders think they are stronger and smarter, But they need to prove that over each other, They need to be the stronger reality bender, Buy TG-C Knows he is weaker and can't fight TG-D, He is the exact opposition of him, He needs help from someone smarter someone who deals with this stuff, "Ugh, I can't believe am doing this.", He sighs before escaping to GOC base to ask for help.
Foundation Staff: "The retired doctor", A doctor would be transported to Site-65 who instead of waiting in medbay would go around fixing injuries that aren't even there, and giving meds to those who don't need it.

OOC: This event would be more of a funny event, As I would give people weird effects, Example: "You crouched for too long now you are shorter, let the doctor fix that", The doctor would then do surgery that increases his height, I would just size him up to 1.1, Its also to give the medical DPT something fun to do as SR doctors would assist in these "Surgerys", And everybody would be included, It would be something like the interdimensional bar event that happened last month.

Also, The doctor is not an SCP he is just very incompetent and gives the wrong medication.

Event ideas are alright, not sure if your map change event would count as a real one but the premise sounds cool, like what if the alpha warhead was a dud, it just didn't detonate? Would be a cool event.

Thanks for the +Support, I don't understand what you mean by "Your map change event would count as a real one" The event would change the map, I didn't really understand what you meant with that.
+Neutral

Chill Guy lots of nice reactions

I do have most of the events planned out, But if everything is said and planned for, It would be a single-sided story and people would have no effect on it, I only give bare info as I think if players shape the story they would enjoy it more, I would only like to influence stories if they get stuck on the parts of the story, Is it all of them that are short or certain ones? I'll fix them with an edit.

Either way thanks for the feedback.

Added a slight bit of color, Reason its colorless is because my head hurts when I have to read text that is all red and whatnot. If more color is needed though I will try to add more. Thanks for the +Support <3.

Two of the small events, The New Chef and The Little Guy are a bit questionable. Bit low on the amount of lore mentioned in the events, but otherwise its good!

The little guy could be good if it was something along the lines of trying to figure out why he is small instead of simply being small, and the chef would be more of an RP enhancement which is absolutely fine. But overall Alex i know you're a great guy to work with and you're somebody who picks things up quickly so i think you'd make a great GM through the TGM period, Good Luck!

Hey thanks for the feedback, Well I have a reason for them being low on lore, Sometimes when an event happens it has a story and you have to figure it out, even in small events that don't last long like the Stone knight, I think that some people including myself would want to have a funny event that doesn't need understanding or lore so all of site is involved instead of it being RsD and E-11, But Am sure I can come up with some lore, I'll edit the post in the next hour or two with lore for both.

Same as stated above, Thanks for the feedback once more, Check back in one or two hours for the edited post. Done edited the post had motivation to add lore all of a sudden. <3

After some revision and elaboration, I belive this application meets our standards, and concerns I still hold will likely be addressed during a trial phase.

-Support

Hello Alex, Its nice to see you around again!
Regrettably, Im not fully satisfied with your application and find myself unable to support it as-is.
I'll go over my specific reasons Event-By-Event and then make some more General points.
-The Chef
I dont personally agree with the idea of making an event around giving one specific player a special role, though its not a big deal, i mostly think that this event is not particularilly interesting or imaginative, and thus does not tell us a lot about you and your creativity. I would have put this Event Into the "Foundation Staff" section, instead of the "3 Events" Section, which are intended to be the bigger ideas you have, while the missions are intended to be smaller in scale but more focused.

I do like that you turned the Chef into a Specific Character with a backstory in a revision, though i dont entirely think this is what people mean when they say your events are "light on lore". I imagine their complaints are accuratly described as "Your events dont draw from pre-existing stories, nor construct any of their own" but thats a bit wordy.

-The Little Guy
With how hitboxes and colision work, This could potentially cause issues in some scenarios, especially dependant on the players behavior, also, the event is likely to instantly end due to accidental death, which would be funny, but not ideal for an application event.

This is a nitpick (like many things I'll say) but I think inventing a fake SCP with a real designation could cause confusion in players who try to look it up, this could be avoided by simply Inserting a letter in place of the 0, or simply saying he does not know the designation, though I do like how you actually created the SCP Responsible, even if you dont think it would come into play.

-a Need for Law
I think this idea has potential, though i dont think that going to players and saying "you are preparing a tribunal TODAY" would work out well, as there is a lot of preplanning involved, granted, the main issue is scheduling, which wouldnt be as much of an issue with this.

However, where I think this idea really shines is if you were to commit to it and flesh it out, Im sure you are familiar with Ace Attorney and while I dont think it would be reasonable to expect someone to "match" that level of detail, i think taking a page from it and preparing evidence, testimonies, Etcetera and giving them to the Prosecution could make this into an exceptional Event.

-Weapons Talk
Very silly and inconsequential, im unsure if I like this event or not, so ill mostly ignore it, though i will note that just !model-ing yourself as a gun would not look very good and cause issues in regards to collision, either way, during your application you are meant to put your best foot forward, and I dont believe this event to be the best you can come up with.

-Site has Fallen
This is an idea we get all the time, if you were to check the past 20 GM applications, I feel like 10+ would have it. Not only is it very uncreative, its also not a good event idea. "CL4 hide in garage or get kidnapped by CI for money" is not a very interesting event, especially not considering the intended length of a map change (remember that the server would have to be restarted before and after, meaning the event would need to last more than just an hour or two for it to be worth it)

However, I dont expect people to make good map change event Ideas, as they are a herculean effort on the entire GM team, and have not been run in over a year, approaching Two.

I would however like to atleast see a good concept instead of the same one ive seen hundreds of times.

-Cant Forget Basics
a different spin on the death game show concept, though i dont think the stakes nor content is particularilly compelling.

-O5-5
I personally think making an O5 member effectively be a joke character is more than acceptable, as it could always just be handwaved away as a Fake Overseer and a Psyop to conceal the real ones (there is no canon). I just again do not think the concept is too interesting, but I think A1 would probably enjoy it.

-Have you Trained
Please explain this event in more detail, as-is, your description does not provide enough information for me to be able to understand your intentions with this Event.

-"Stop Mocking me"
On the note of feasibility, the 323 sanity degredation effect is hardcoded onto the job and not the Swep, and thus cannot be used like this.
Also, i belive the phrase is far too specific to be reliably said by anyone to base an entire event around.

-"Is this for Sale"
Again, the core concept is fine, just not executed in a very interesting way. "Just some guy wants to buy 323 or something" is not really application material in my eyes, I'll elaborate on this later.

-GOC
I think the idea of "Reality bender asks GOC to kill another reality bender he doesnt like" is a fun concept that could be executed well, though you do not elaborate on the reasons why. Nor do i belive the "disguises as a civilian and hides in pinewood" is particularilly fun, especially considering the State of Surface RP.

-The Retired Doctor
I like this one, having medbay assist a moderatly demented doctor doing medical malpractice is a fun concept that would involve people.

More General points:
Now, I dont see the issue with small, inconsequential events that just give parts of the playerbase "Something to do", theyre a good thing to have, and helps keeps even more casual players engaged.

What I dont think is good is having ALL of your events be that type of Event, when those are effectively events anyone could have done, this does not give us any particular reason to pick YOU out of anyone, we operate on a strict 15 slot limit, and limiting your application to at most moderatly interesting one-offs is not the best path to be selected.

Now, I understand that you are not interested in the larger scale or lore-heavy events or in making them, or perhaps you simply think that that is out of your expertise, but "high concept" events dont need to be heavy on lore, you could simply create a more elaborate Gimmick, or more indepth preparation.

This Application feels unambitious.

Lastly, I personally look for applicants to demonstrate a familiarity with the SCP universe beyond the content prominently featured on the server, as that is a quality i find very desirable as the SCP Wiki is a tremendously good thing to draw inspiration for events from, and I personally want to see GMs utilize this to their advantage. This is completely absent from this Application.

Thus, i find myself unable to support your application.
Nonetheless, thank you for taking the time to write this.

Hello Alex, Its nice to see you around again!
Regrettably, Im not fully satisfied with your application and find myself unable to support it as-is.
I'll go over my specific reasons Event-By-Event and then make some more General points.
-The Chef

Hey Jeremy nice to see you on forums, I'll try explaining why did what to each event by trying to do the same thing you did.


"The Chef": I understand what you are saying, I think the issue is I misunderstood the small event part, When I hear small event I think of something that has little to no affect on site, And just makes RP slightly better, I will change it and add another one.

"The little guy", So the issue for me here, Is that I have no idea how some hitboxes would work on SCPRP, As I was never a GM nor Staff on it, Its an idea that has a major issue. Still, I believe I can easily overcome it with trial and error when I start messing around with Hitboxes, When I say size him to 0.15, Its just an est. as I can't truly test it out, Its an idea I had. I think it would still be fun, About the SCP number, Well I just used a random number that came to mind, I could possibly find a SCP on the SCP net that does what I want it to do.

You called it a nitpick, So am unsure if you mean, You care about it but its a little matter so worries, Or its an minor issue that should be fixed, Type of thing I will change the designation either way to a number of an SCP that doesn't exist, So no confusion happens.

"Need for law", I think its a misunderstanding here on my part, I would give the defendant and prosecutor much more time, Half a day even, And it would be scheduled on the Event announcements as well, I would announce it in game an hour before the trail for the rest of the server, And I would schedule it with all 3 parties beforehand to make sure everyone have time.

"Weapons talk" The same issue for me as the little guy, Now the reason I didn't think this one would be an issue because 7 months ago, I saw a GM doing an event where Ammo boxes come to life, And they just give ammo and chat, That was my main inspiration for this event, I like it because when I played CI I loved the ammo boxes event, It made CI a bit more silly for one hour which was really needed as CI was all SRS at that time for me.

Again I will try my best to come up with an event for CI as a small event, I'll add it as extra in the small events area and keep this one aswell just incase.

"Site Has Fallen", Yeah, I know this is not a really original idea, but a whole map change event isn't something easy to come up with for me, I need to think about many parties at the same time while the map Is changed and I'll tell you now, Map change events are not my strong suits, I thought about it for a while when I was writing this, But the best I Could come up with is Site Has Fallen, Which I admit is pretty bad, I have no excuse for this but, I tried my best, I hope this doesn't effect the App much, As I feel like I Shine in small events and self-made lore events, If need be I would make an event based on any circumstance you give me, But again can't guarantee it would be the best.

"Can't Forget basics", I personally thought the stakes are much higher considering its an ECM, But my idea of the white room is to be unsettling with something like the noises played at the Death Game Show, And the unsettling buzzers for when we get questions wrong, I really don't want to change this event as the Death Game Show is what really made me apply for GM as I want to host one like it, And I know it won't be as good, But I still want to try my best.

"O5-5", This event is directed towards A-1, And I also think they would like something like that, I also wouldn't enjoy an event like this, but that's simply because am not A-1, A-1 (In my opinion) like to keep doing their duties, And stay professional, So an event around an O5 which isn't professional would be something different to them, And they would have something else to do than Sweeping site or watching POIs, I have never been in A-1 so I can't say with confidence I know what they like, But I also think I could do better and will try to come up with a better event for A-1.

"Have you trained", I'll edit the post with more information as well as talk about it here, The idea of this event would be mostly a semi-training but with different areas, I would make 2 Dupes, One that is made up of barricades broken down cars, Derbies ECT., While the other would be a forest like map, The LT Would talk to the Nu-7 CO, And recommend this training in these areas, The reason these areas are safe is because its a SCP foundation training ground, So it is watched at all times, I'll edit the post and add even more context and give Lore to the LT, I had a name for him Neal "Fear" Hyland Based on something I wrote for a Dclass RP but left it.

"Stop Mocking me", Now I didn't really know that the effect wasn't a swep, As again I don't have access to GM tools as am just using what I think would be available, And also, You misunderstood me in the mocking part, its anything along the lines of "I just want to", Meaning its the asking for Examples, "Could you" "Can you" "Would you", Or any thing that involves asking for another thing, I think this idea could be refined but I have no idea what I can use for the mental insanity effect as am unsure what Tools I would have as a GM, The main Idea of the event Could also be changed from Containing it to understanding it, For RsD to conduct tests and understand how it works.

"Is this for sale", The idea is not just some guy, I should of given him backstory aswell, But as far as I know CI in lore sell SCPs to rich people who like having weird things at homes, This guy would be one of them, He isn't abnormal But he is rich, I will change it to included lore about him.

"The enemy of my enemy", I should of came up with RP reasons on why this is happening which is what I will be doing, I wasn't too sure of what surface is like as it has been much time since I was last Nu-7, I will change it to something simpler like takes a disguise of a GOC member, I think this might be one of my best Ideas as I put a lot of thought into it.

"The Retired doctor" I also like this idea :3.

I'll add some notes here aswell.

I feel like most of my issues are branching from the fact I have no real idea how GM tools work, I have never been a gamemaster, But its something I really want to be, And I will work hard as a Trail Game master to prove that, I put a lot of work into my application about 3 hours, And I would be lying if I didn't say it sadness me to think that I was unambitious.

What ever the issue is Am willing to work hard to change it, I have been wanting to be a GM for 3 years but didn't have the courage till now, So I'll try my best.

About the reason I didn't use pre made SCPs, Well I thought if I used SCPs I made up it would show my ability of imagination and creativity, But Most changes that I will make from now on will be towards the SCP website.

Thank you for your response Jermey and I hope you reread my Application once am done with the edits and review the -Support.

Edit: I decided to edit the post before posting the reply.
Please review the application and keep what I said in mind, Either way thanks for the feedback, I hope I can better as a GM if that time ever comes.

Long standing member of the community, which hopefully earns him the experience and perspective of the various roles within the server. It also makes me happy to see him act on his desire to improve the overall health and enjoyment of the server. I find the events he listed to be creative and funny in nature, and would love to see some of his ideas come to fruition. Go get ‘em tiger ?

+The ideas are very cool and suitable for the server
- A-1 event seems pretty generic
- E-11 event has happened before, pretty much the exact way you described it.
Best of luck Alex.
