Have you received any kicks/bans/warning? and why?:
ARDM warning for accidentally throwing a grenade at a group of people.
no other warnings on record

Do you have any previous experience as a Gamemaster/Event Manager in a community?:
I have been an event manager for a few discord servers. but outside of that no.

Do you have any previous experience with serious roleplay?:
Yes, a lot of it. Especially outside of the CN servers.

How many hours can you be on every day?:
3-4 hours.

Why do you want to become a Gamemaster on our server?:
I want to make interesting events for non-combative personnel. all of the MTF get the fun stuff and I believe that is unfair to all of the Doctors, researchers, tech experts, chefs, and inter affairs agents of the server, not only is it rude but also very discouraging to play as a non-combative if you are going to miss most of the events. I believe I should make up for the lost time these people have to go through with sitting in boredom for minutes on end, especially if they find their job tedious and spice things u for them, I might even think of giving SCPs some events as well. because who really wants to sit and wait for 3-5 hours just to breach once and then have their day ruined by E-11.

What do you think you would be able to help us with on the server? Why are you special over the other applicants?:
I believe I can focus on non-combative, especially research, personnel to have a fun time and give them enjoyable events that they rarely ever get to see outside of MTF roles and other combatant-focused jobs.

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

A BROKEN FACILITY​	RESEARCHER RIOT​	LE GOURMET​
a Site wide power outage happens, breaking all of the F3 doors and computers in the facility except for the doors that thankfully got saved by the emergency generator (these doors would include SCP doors, O-1, and A-1 bunks, and the level 5 door in the HCZ hallway) all Engineers, tech experts and IT specialists are given 2 minutes to prepare before working together to fix every single door and computer as quickly as humanly possible. they would be put on an active timer and depending on what their time ends up being. they will get a different reward. this timer ends as soon as the last broken object is fixed.​	all of the researchers have had enough of waiting around for a gensec to come and pick up their d-class, and all rush into d-block DEMANDING for a d-class. the gensec must be quick and hopefully have the manpower to supply all of these researchers with their D-class. and the researchers after receiving their d-class must make sure their D-class survives their tests. after basically emptying their whole supply of them. the gensec will be set on a timer and will receive a reward on their time whilst all of the researchers if they can keep their d-class alive, will be rewarded as well, with the reward increasing based on which level SCP they did, Keter giving the biggest reward and safe giving the smallest.​	the site advisors and ethics members ARE HUNGRY a group of the best chefs will come and serve them. each of the site advisors and ethics members will have 0 hunger (and may even have their max hunger raised secretly unbeknownst to the chefs) (they will not be losing health at this time either) and each chef will have to personally provide food to their assigned SA or ethics member. they will eat anything AS LONG as the food is cooked and is average. the 3 fastest chefs will earn a reward and the ones who failed will be getting the backhand from their assigned SA or ethics member for being a terrible chef before Gordan Ramsey personally comes in to taste the food and scolds the chefs. (optional idea)​

Please List a Map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server)
THE FALLEN ANOMALY

it is a work day just like any other. until something crashes the earth. the floors shake and a loud crash can be even heard inside the D-class cells, a meteor landed nearby. opening a part of the map to a new set of roads that will lead to a giant smoking meteor.

it is ADVISED that you wear a gasmask whilst near it


an asteroid hits the earth and is believed to have an anomalous object inside of it. nu-7 and e-11 will be escorting senior and executive researchers to this meteor INCLUDING a tech expert which will Be carrying a mining drill that only the tech expert has the knowledge of effectively using, whilst having to fend off the CI who want to have whatever is inside of the meteor themselves. this will be a capture-the-flag scenario that is only available at certain times of the day (when the server is full) and each time the winning team gets a point leading to a multiple-day event. to capture this anomalous meteor there must be a researcher near its vicinity of it and a tech expert actively mining. MTF cannot capture it by themselves whilst CI has no such problem but may have to assign members on their team to carry around a Mining drill.

List an example mission for each of the following:​

A-1: THERE ARE IMPOSTERS AMONG THE A-1 they plan to kill the O-5 member that is currently on site after having done a meeting. they cannot mess up though. once they kill the target they themselves must not die and must leave the facility and make it to the CI bunker to win but they should also make sure to plan out their time since there is the inevitability of the O-5 leaving in the helicopter outside of the facility. they do not emit any fumes and are unrecognizable from any other O-1 member only difference is they've never worked for O-1. may their lack of knowledge be their downfall? this event will include the overseers, O-1, CI​	O-1: A-1 needs to protect their ethics members all of the Sentient SCP's have broken containment and are chasing after the people who are, what they believe to be, highest in command. their goal is not to escape anymore, but to take revenge on those who they believe made this place in the first place. this event will include SCP- ethics members, A-1, and E-11​	Nu-7: Nu-7 with their big egos stroll down with their newly captured CI and are preparing to brainwash him with a new experimental brainwashing machine! but something goes wrong. the CI experiences seizures and begins to transform. INTO A MONSTER, its skin looks melted and it is fucking massive. it stomps like SCP-682 cries and weeps for help like SCP-939 it looks like the tank from left 4 dead and the night creature from dying light. whatever that thing is now. it doesn't matter. it going to SLAUGHTER in a blind rage and will feast on the corpses of its enemies. it is going to be BRUTAL. can the Nu-7 and E-11 contain it and figure out what was wrong with the machine? this event will include E-11, Nu-7, CI​
E-11: E-11 contained a breach of 3 SCP's, tired they decided to take a little break from POIS and do some fun training together however. something goes wrong for them. they receive a message from their one guarding E-11 member at HCZ "something is wrong-" before the radio cuts out. the lights then turn off and all electronics are shut down. all the doors open including the SCP chambers. a code black is mediately called. and all Staff are to evec. all the SCPs, unprepared for such a breach will have their health lowered by half. but the sheer number of them will most likely be the downfall of all the MTF in the facility or maybe not. this event will include. all MTF regiments. site staff, SCP's, D-class​	CI: The CI finally get their hands on D-class that had escaped containment and accidentally stumbled upon the CI bunker just as soon as the CI were about to raid the facility. The CI takes them into the bunker and keeps them in there until they figure out what to do with him. however suddenly all the CI are waved with illness, they proceed to slow down and their health widdles. They feel their skin turn to stone as bullets deflect off it and they are invulnerable. They're fingers become too thick to hold their weapons and shoot them properly and begin resorting to melee. only explosives like grenades may damage them which they become especially vulnerable to. they can break down doors and the main gate, but all not is well and good for them. this illness is still going to inevitably kill them so they might as well use it to the best of their ability. this event will include CI Nu-7 E-11​	Foundation Staff: One of the D-class scouts managed to get his hands on something while on his way back from a test. a little bit of SCP-409 in a glass container. he managed to get it in inconspicuously with a pair of tweezers. scraping a bit of it off the crystal. he says this to all of the D-class in the showers before all would agree to riot and manage to infect their way outside of the facility. sadly with the little amount of SCP-409 they have they only have 10 uses. and they must make sure the GSD doesn't kill him or it is lost and their opportunity is gone this event will include D-class Foundation staff. E-11.​

edit 1: fixed the formatting slightly
edit 2: switched the A-1 and O-1 around

cool event ideas, some of them might be hard to do/balance and others feel a little like normal RP (eg the e11 event is basically just a mass breach + code black, and the A-1 event can be easily countered, they all have a codeword document for this exact situation where someone's disguised as them) but the rest are cool af

(you also got O-1 and A-1 the wrong way around - A-1 protects the O5 and O-1 protects ethics)

to be completely honest I have no clue what to do for E-11 I simply chose the safest option. but I definitely could've made some better ideas for A-1

Whilst I believe there is potential, these example events in the application are very basic with very limited interactivity or room for freedom; they seem like they are made to follow a very specific narrative, rather than letting participants interact with the event firsthand. The writing of some of these events is not very interesting nor do I think that any of these events would be fun/extensive enough.

• Small Event Ideas - Timing engineers and tech experts to fix stuff for a reward is not even an event. Same can be said for most of these "small event" ideas.
  I believe this is just a misunderstanding of what "Small Event" asks for; essentially, an event that can be held by 1-3 GMs and takes between 30 minutes to 1 and a half hours.
• THE FALLEN ANOMALY - All I can think of when I read this is that this was lazily planned. This seems less like an event and more of "get control of this just because it's an event". Very few people will actively try and maintain control of this objective and there seems to be very little reason to do so in the first place; there is no mention of why Foundation or CI would want control of this.
• Missions
  
  • The A-1 mission is just an ambitious CI deep cover.
  • The O-1 mission is just what O-1 do on a regular basis anyway.
  • Nu-7 - This idea is promising and would work better in the Small Event Ideas section, in my opinion. It can see this becoming a decent event, just needs a bit more work.
    
    • "Nu-7 with their big egos..." - This bias degrades the concept's value.
  • E-11 - I believe the gameplay and roleplay from this could be interesting. Just needs to be better written.
  • CI - This is my favourite one yet. Could still be written better, but I believe CI becoming monsters could be interesting. May be very difficult to pull off though.
  • Foundation Staff - This would end within 5 minutes.

- Support
Pretty much summed up perfectly above. However I do really like the Fallen Anomaly event and think it has great potential, all it needs is a second stage planned out - you mention CI want to have whatever is inside the meteor yet do not elaborate on what it is at all despite it being the crux of the event.

As said above, good concepts. Maybe a little bit more time put into the thought of them

Application Denied

Hi @volkgrid,

Thanks for taking the time to make a gamemaster application.

Ive decided to deny your gamemaster application. First the Events you wrote seem very undetailed. The events in "small events" aren't really small events its just more of a "you do this in 2min and gain that" Situation. The Map Change Event is very undetailed and doesn't state on what can happen with the Meteor. Currently its a Capture the Flag type of Event wich will get very boring for Players after the first 2 or 3 hours.

You may re-apply in 2 weeks​
