SCP-RP UK

Your Username:
Harry Nolan

Your SteamID:
STEAM_0:1:580878634

Discord Username:
Noodles1502

Age:
16

What's your current playtime (type !time in-game):
I have over 2400 hours on the server.

Do you have a mic:
Yes.

Your characters name:
MTF Omega-1 LT Darren 'Orion' Nolan (D. 'Orion')
Special Agent Daniel 'Danny' Nolan (Daniel D. Nolan)
CI-A Paddy 'Kilmainham' O'Brian


List all the names of the characters that you use (Foundation, Civillian, e.t.c.):
D. 'Orion'
Daniel D. Nolan
Paddy 'Kilmainham' O'Brian
Harry Nolan
'Defender'
'Shamrock'


Is this the first application you made? If no, link all previous applications:
(I struggled to read through these previous applications, I can assure you I have drastically improved since then😂)

Have you received any kicks/warns/bans, and if so, why:

How many hours can you be on everyday:
I am online most days and can be online from anywhere from 3-7 hours.

Do you have any previous experience as a Gamemaster/Event Manager in a community:
I don't have any previous experience as a Gamemaster or Event Manager in a community, though I have assisted in many events and RP enhancements during my time as staff.

Why would you like to become a Gamemaster:
I would like to become a Gamemaster because I genuinely enjoy RP in this server and as you know there are many different rabbit holes in the SCP universe and the servers lore which I wish to expand and deepen. I want to try to help make the server more immersive, changing the gameplay loop for some people from doing the same things every day to more of a 'workplace' with events and passive RP on the regular. I believe that regular passive RP and RP enhancements are better than infrequent large scale events (which is also a major part of the 'workplace' immersion, though I believe should be more seldom).

What do you think you would be able to help us with on the server? Why are you special over the other applicants:
I am special over other applicants because I have previous experience as staff on Civil Networks and I understand the responsibilities, duties and expectations of Gamemasters thoroughly. I understand and know how to use the Gamemaster tools and commands. As mentioned above, I also have experience assisting in events and RP enhancements. I have brilliant RP capabilities from my many different in character roles. I constantly create passive roleplay with other players and can improvise roleplay on the spot. I will be able to help on the server by as mentioned above changing the gameplay loop for some people from a repetitive chore to a workplace.

Please List 3 small event ideas (Which would involve at least one side of the server):

Event 1:

This event will consist of the Logistics Department coming onto site to deliver needs for the site. These needs can include ammunition, weapons, food, medical supplies, ect. This event will involve Nu-7 and DEA for escorting them to and from the site, Site Administration for overseeing and requesting equipment to be delivered to the site and possibly CI to try to intercept the equipment and fight off Nu-7 and DEA. The characters would act like stereotypical American truckers. Some of the boxes would be interactable and would give text such as 'A metallic smell arises from the box' or 'the smell of fresh fruit comes from the box'

This event will be conducted by 1-3 GMs, they will be modelled and their names will be set to something along the lines of "Logistics Agent John Doe". They will send an OC message to the Foundation requesting an escort to get to the site from Pinewood. The GMs will be in a truck loaded with boxes. Nu-7 and DEA will have to swiftly escort the truck to prevent any attacks. This event creates good passive roleplay and can lead for contracts and requests to be made by Site Admin to the Logistics Department to deliver more goods to the site, leading for long-term RP.

Event 2:


This event will be a Health & Safety Inspector coming onto Site-65 to inspect different aspects of the site. This event will only need 1 Gamemaster and will involve most members of the site. They will walk around taking notes and criticising the site for its unsafe conditions. The character will be snarky and sarcastic provoking site staff and making comments about the sites state. The character will conduct interviews with Foundation staff. At the end the Inspector will give a final report to Site Admin, telling them that the site has a very poor standard and if no action is taken budget cuts will be put in place by regional command.

Event 3:

This event will be Pinewoods Mayor election. People will be able to run for Mayor and will have to try to convince people to vote for them from advertisements to bribery while CI, Foundation and UNGOC may try to rig the election to get their own members into the position. A Gamemaster will take count of the votes at a voting station and a stage will be put in Pinewood to announce the new Mayor. This event will boost surface RP for the next hour or so with the new Mayor and their policies.


Please List an map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server):
A map change event idea I have is both CI and Foundation receive an alert from their respective Regional Command about a crashed Nu-7 SCPAF (SCP Air Force) cargo plane carrying SCP-939 instances over central Afghanistan. CI are tasked with capturing the 939 instances, capturing the Nu-7 Pilots and recovering any intel from the pilots, while Foundation are tasked with recovering the pilots and 939 instances and securing the crash site.

The event will need 5-6 GMs, There will need to be Foundation & CI transport, the Nu-7 Pilots, air support on both sides and the 939 instances. The map will be something like https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=133540980&. The crash site will have to be located and secured by both sides with only limited respawns. Optimisation and removal of some of the properties of the map will be required. The 939 instances will be moving around the map and will attack both sides. This event is supposed to show Nu-7s real purpose of being a more 'military' large scale force, and CIs gorilla warfare terrorist style.


List an example mission for each of the following (O-1, A-1, Nu-7, E-11, CI, UNGOC & Foundation Staff):

Omega-1


Site-23 in Eastern Europe has gone rouge, site staff are unionising and are torturing Class-D and SCP objects putting the Foundations mission statement at risk. By orders of the Ethics Committee Chairman, Site-23 is to be infiltrated by Omega-1 covert specialists to assassinate the leader of the union and cut all power to the facility followed by a full force raid by Omega-1, all site-staff are to be executed and all anomalies contained.

This event will need 5-8 GMs. One to act as the leader of the union, and a few for site site staff and the anomalies. A dupe will be made on GM plane. O1 specialists will have to enter the site covertly to assassinate the leader and cut the power before the rest of O1 can secure the site and contain all anomalies. The site staff will be armed and will respawn 4-5 times. The anomalies will try to fight Omega-1 and will have to be countered by Scranton reality anchors. One of the anomalies will be a memetic entity that looks like a large lizard (682 model scaled down with some additions with pac) but can mind control, this will be done by a GMSwep message saying 'You feel a strong urge to protect the mother'.



Alpha-1

O5-13 has been designated as treasonous by O5-1 and the Ethics Committee while on Site-52. Intel shows that O5-13 was funding a terrorist organisation to raid and destroy a site containing a weapon that the council bar O5-13 decided to create. The terrorists were killed when they attempted to enter the site. Alpha-1 are ordered to raid Site-52 and capture O5-13, intel shows that there will be heavy resistance.

This event will conducted on a site on the GM plane. Alpha-1 will be transported there and back by a helicopter. Once entering the site 3-4 Gamemasters set as terrorists will fight the Alpha-1 and respawn 4-5 times. After capturing O5-13 they begin to exfil the site when more terrorists block off the exit. Alpha-1 will have to contact air support to take them out (A GM modelled as an A-10 or MQ9). Once O5-13 is brought to Site-65 they will be interrogated by the other O5s and A1.


Nu-7

Regional Command tasks MTF Nu-7 to take out a Chaos Insurgency splinter cell located in West Iraq in the Al-Rutbah region developing an anomalous long distance electro magnetic pulsar (EMP) to use against Foundation sites. They will be transported by helicopter and will have air support on standby. They will destroy the weapon with explosives once all CI have been killed.

Nu-7 will be transported to a large GM plane dupe with a sand floor and pac3 skybox to show a desert. 4-5 Gamemasters will act as CI with lots of health and 5-6 respawns each. A Gamemaster will also act as air support. Once all the CI have been killed by Nu-7 they will have to explode the weapon with C4 charges.


E-11

A divine entity simply known as 'The Messenger' manifests within Site-65 preaching that the Foundation is treating God's creations like animals keeping them in cages and poking and prodding them, and if the Foundation doesn't comply with God's command the punishment will be extremely severe. To protect the Foundations mission statement E-11 contain and research the anomaly doing tests, interviews and analysis on it before it says something along the lines off 'The trumpets will ring, the lands will drought and the sky will hail fire where those who blaspheme God's words will be sent. E11 will contain the anomaly by using Scranton reality anchors and or any reasonable roleplay (rituals, satanic prayers ect). The character will speak in biblical English and will have a respectful yet firm tone. The entity will be modelled as an archangel. Once most RP has been concluded 'The Messenger' will sign off with something along the lines of 'How dare you imprison a messenger of God, the mighty wrathful vengeance of God will strike down on you.

This event will only require 1 Gamemaster acting as The Messenger. The site staff event will link into this event. These events are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy specifically Dante's Purgatorium.


CI

Chaos Insurgency Regional Command has delivered an unknown anomaly stolen in a raid on a site in Eastern Europe to be researched and possibly be weaponised. The anomality is a M1911 pistol that when shot at someone their uniform is randomly changed. CI do not know the capabilities of the weapon but it is only loaded with 5 bullets so they can't abuse it and have to use it scarcely.

This event will just need 1 Gamemaster and whenever someone is shot with it the person shot will be modelled to a random model. Once it is used 5 times a /it will be done along the lines of 'The gun clicks and feels lighter when a new magazine is inserted'. After that the gun will be used like normal.


UNGOC

A UNGOC cargo aircraft containing a high value Ambassador had to make an emergency landing near the UNGOC 255th Arctic Corp FOB. Unfortunately the plane crashed but the Ambassador was found with a gunshot to the back of his head. UNGOC will have to investigate and de-crypt the aircrafts black box and figure out who killed him and why. While investigating they find a hard drive, once decrypted it shows that the pilot and crew were all terrorists with intent of using the Ambassador as a hostage to gain para-tech. Once the black box is decrypted UNGOC find out that the crash was intentional because their demands were denied.

This event will only require 1 Gamemaster to do /its with the UNGOC interacting. There will be an open comms message like 'Overlord 1-1 - UNGOC 225th Arctic Corp> A UNGOC transport aircraft is not responding to comms and is decreasing in altitude. Please investigate this immediately.' then a csay saying 'A loud explosion can be heard on surface'. UNGOC will have to find and possibly defend the crash site while they investigate what happened.


Foundation Staff

A divine entity known as 'The Messenger' has warned the SCP Foundation of severe punishment by God for the entrapment and mistreatment of his creations. Staff around Site-65 die of varying means then are transported to a purgatory. This purgatory is described as an eternal punishment where the skies rain fire and monsters and demons torment those in it for eternity.

This is a part 2 for 'The Messenger' E11 event. This will require 1-2 Gamemasters. One will go around to random people on site and use the GM Swep to give a message on their screen along the lines of 'You feel a sharp pain in your chest' and they will be killed with the GM Swep. A /it could also be done along the lines of 'You see the -------- clutch their chest'. Once they are dead another Gamemaster will spawn and teleport them to the GM Plane. A dupe will be on it depicting a dark barren desert. Upon arriving they will get a message on their screen along the line of 'Despair floods your soul as you know you will remain in purgatory for eternity'. The other Gamemasters will act as demons/monsters scaring and tormenting the player. After around 5 minutes a message will appear on their screen saying 'Your soul shall remain in this... hell for eternity for your sins against God's beautiful creatures'. After that they will be slayed and this will be done to another person.

Hello,

The main issues I have with this application is the map change event, "Event 2" and "Event 3". The issues I see with this is the lack of detail and elaboration, on Event 2 and 3 I would like some more detail as to why there is a health inspector alongside how the event will play out, more than the inspector going about and commenting on "health hazards". Additionally on "Event 3" it seems very unclear as to why said factions would want to rig the election, "Event 3" is very much possible to do without a GM.

Going back to the map change event, the question is based on the Involving both sides and the entire server, I fail to see how you will be able to incoperate more then Nu7, ci and E-11. In my eyes the event is a rescue mission as they are attempting to rescue/capture the Nu-7 Pilots as well as the SCP-939 instances. The task that CI was given is to obtain the SCP-939 instances, the pilots and intel, what kind of intel will they be looking for? Additionally I would not say this event requires a map change and could be easily created on the current map, for example being as the event is based around a crash site there will need to be one built alongside the SCP-939 instances whom will be the GMs. As it stands the listed map change event could be classed as a minor/medium event.

However I see that you have put quite a bit of effort into the mission events which is the reason for the support not going negative.

Good luck!
 
Event 2:

This event will be a Health & Safety Inspector coming onto Site-65 to inspect different aspects of the site. This event will only need 1 Gamemaster and will involve most members of the site. They will walk around taking notes and criticising the site for its unsafe conditions. The character will be snarky and sarcastic provoking site staff and making comments about the sites state.​
More of an RP Enhancement above all else. Really just quite plain and not much substance to it.

Event 3:

This event will be Pinewoods Mayor election. People will be able to run for Mayor and will have to try to convince people to vote for them from advertisements to bribery while CI, Foundation and UNGOC may try to rig the election to get their own members into the position. A Gamemaster will take count of the votes at a voting station and a stage will be put in Pinewood to announce the new Mayor. This event will boost surface RP for the next hour or so with the new Mayor and their policies.​
Again, this is more so a RP Enhancement above all else. Furthermore players could likely organise this themselves. Big question though is how you'd manage people flagging on Mayor? It's a VIP job, so you can't kick people off it because it's paid.

Please List an map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server):
A map change event idea I have is both CI and Foundation receive an alert from their respective Regional Command about a crashed Nu-7 SCPAF (SCP Air Force) cargo plane carrying SCP-939 instances over central Afghanistan.

Optimisation and removal of some of the properties of the map will be required.
Although you've followed the guidelines for Map Change events to a t, it's quite bland. These are meant to last hours, and this just seems like MRP gameplay to me, or something that could be done to an extent without a Map Change. It does speak a lot to me when you put more potentially needed GM's in a regimental event, rather than a server wide Map Change one.

Going back to the map change event, the question is based on the Involving both sides and the entire server, I fail to see how you will be able to incoperate more then Nu7, ci and E-11.
As it is a Map Change event, jobs can be handled however they like. If they want to have only 2 jobs, 1 CI and 1 Nu-7 they can! They're weird like that.

Alpha-1

This event will conducted on a site on the GM plane. Alpha-1 will be transported there and back by a helicopter. Once entering the site 3-4 Gamemasters set as terrorists will fight the Alpha-1 and respawn 4-5 times. After capturing O5-13 they begin to exfil the site when more terrorists block off the exit. Alpha-1 will have to contact air support to take them out (A GM modelled as an A-10 or MQ9). Once O5-13 is brought to Site-65 they will be interrogated by the other O5s and A1.

Nu-7

Nu-7 will be transported to a large GM plane dupe with a sand floor and pac3 skybox to show a desert. 4-5 Gamemasters will act as CI with lots of health and 5-6 respawns each. A Gamemaster will also act as air support. Once all the CI have been killed by Nu-7 they will have to explode the weapon with C4 charges.
Just an idea, but if you wanted more numbers for these type of events, you can always ask a GOI like CI itself to assist you in an event, if you really wanted to. No issues with the actual events either way although.

E-11

A divine entity simply known as 'The Messenger' manifests within Site-65 preaching that the Foundation is treating God's creations like animals keeping them in cages and poking and prodding them, and if the Foundation doesn't comply with God's command the punishment will be extremely severe. To protect the Foundations mission statement E-11 contain and research the anomaly doing tests, interviews and analysis on it before it says something along the lines off 'The trumpets will ring, the lands will drought and the sky will hail fire where those who blaspheme God's words will be sent.

This event will only require 1 Gamemaster acting as The Messenger. The site staff event will link into this event. These events are inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy specifically Dante's Purgatorium.
You don't really describe the Event character at all. Are they tangible, how would E-11 go about containing them? Hell, would E-11 contain them? You immediatly say that they would, but people can be people.

Foundation Staff

A divine entity known as 'The Messenger' has warned the SCP Foundation of severe punishment by God for the entrapment and mistreatment of his creations. Staff around Site-65 die of varying means then are transported to a purgatory. This purgatory is described as an eternal punishment where the skies rain fire and monsters and demons torment those in it for eternity.

After around 5 minutes a message will appear on their screen saying 'Your soul shall remain in this... hell for eternity for your sins against God's beautiful creatures'. After that they will be slayed and this will be done to another person.
Again, no description of the event character. This also sounds very disruptive and MRDM'y, and for this you'd really have to be banking on the dupe/environment you make to carry people being awed by it, then dying. I also feel like this would do better as a event with only 1-2 GM's because of this, to slow down the disruption. Lastly, to me Foundation Staff events are ones for Research, Medical, ET&S, etc, but you don't mention any. Perhaps an explained way for Research to study the anomaly, or perhaps some survive being killed, and Medical have to give psycological help to them.


woa! that was written like im a normal person! i locked in too hard.
overall the application is good and well made with a few nitpicks, and iffy ideas, but the rest of the application shows passion and hard work through it all.

I'd be inclined to give it a +Support, but due to you being Irish and shit at DEA, i can only do a 🚋Support.

best of luck cuh

+Support

Good app, have had no negative interactions in game, seems experienced enough.
Only issue I have is that the map change event only affects 2 dept/factions, when it should include every part of the playerbase (All of F, UNGOC & CI.)
Hello thank for your feedback and support. I agree with what you are saying though the reason I did not implement UNGOC is because of their fluctuating relations with both CI & Foundation. If the UNGOC were to help one side I feel like it would be an unfair addition and that they would not be able to take on both CI & Foundation on their own.

I was meaning more about that the ENTIRE servers map would change. What would normal low level GENSEC staff do, research, general site staff and other MTF Regiments. CI and Nu-7 are a small part of the server compared to the entire thing and making a map change event just for them is going to be unfair for everyone, excluding CI and Nu-7 of course.

Hey, thank you very much for your feedback and support. I have implemented some of your advice into my application, though there are a few things that I would like to clarify.

Big question though is how you'd manage people flagging on Mayor? It's a VIP job, so you can't kick people off it because it's paid.
People will be able to be on the mayor job during the event and will be able to run for office again. They can be asked to flag off the job and if they refuse more roleplay can be done by UN "removing" them from the position.

These are meant to last hours, and this just seems like MRP gameplay to me

One of the main reasons I decided to use this event is because it was meant to return mostly Nu-7 but kinda DEA and CI to their actual purpose of large scale 'military' operations. I can understand how this can seem like MRP. Another detail I forgot to put into the application is that the 939s will be moving and, if and when they are captured the other faction can use their air support or flank to counter the attempt. This will drastically increase the time.

Perhaps an explained way for Research to study the anomaly, or perhaps some survive being killed, and Medical have to give psycological help to them.
They will be able to study the anomaly from comms of the people in the purgatory. One of the main points of the event is that they are in it for eternity which obviously can't happen, causing them getting killed but IC them being stuck in there forever. Research would be able to piece together bit by bit from the comms messages.

Thank you very much for your support and feedback!

I forgot to mention this as I'm not sure to the specifics of map changes, but I would think that the map file would be edited to have the changed placed somewhere away from the main map, preferably GM Plane if possible. There will be a lot more that CI and Nu-7. As mentioned in an above response GOC may be able to go depending on relations but, E-11 AO DEA, Combat medics and possibly GENSEC will be able to assist Foundation.

Hey thank you for your feedback and support. It is well known that Site-65 is an extremely low standard site with often containment breaches and taking a lot of funding, a inspector would be sent to figure out why so much funding is going into a poor preforming site. The event will play out with the inspector interviewing and criticising flaws within procedures and the design of the site.

The intel that CI would be looking for would be to find out from the Nu-7 pilots why and where the 939s were being delivered. There could also be more objectives such as hard drives added.
