This is my first application for Game Master
Have you received any kicks/warns/bans, and if so, why (type /warnings in-game):
Yes I have received the following warns
RDM: Forgot I muted my microphone, couldn't prove it
Mixing: Talking to some guys in D-Block tower about IRL stuff
RDM: Nailed a Tech Expert that I thought threw a gas grenade at Security
RDM: Accidentally killed a D-Class in cross fire
Metagamingboughtcheese: I metagamed CI making cheeseburgers to buy back one of their members, thought it'd be funny to buy all the cheese to see their reaction. I am aware this was very immature for my position and have not done anything similar since
RDM: Not quite sure where I got this one, my theory is something to do with D-Class based off my clips
Metagaming: Not too sure either, I think it was because I was tracking D-Class based off suit color

No
Do you have any advanced skills that would benefit the GM team, such as PAC-3, dupes building, art creation and others? If yes, give us your best example of putting that skill into practice:
Unfortunately no

Lighting Issues
Another day, another electrical failure. It seems to be a reoccurring theme here in Site-65, almost as if nothing in this god forsaken Site is wired to code. Things seemed to have been working for one, blissful hour then all the lighting in Light and PW suddenly cut. We sent over some of our Electricians to check out the LCZ Electrical Center, see if they can figure out the route of the lighting failure.
A simple little RP enhancement that involves ETS having to figure out the root of a lighting failure in LCZ and fix the lighting circuits to restore lighting to the zone. Techs and Engineers would have to inspect the wiring, voltage and amperage of electrical boxes throughout LCZ and PW to discover the faults causing the lighting failure.

Fugitive
Pinewood Ranger Station, this is Inspector Grayson with the Saskatchewan RCMP. We got a wanted fugitive heading to your jurisdiction, he is wanted for assault, resisting arrest and battery on a Law Enforcement Officer. He is known to be armed with at least a 9mm pistol and has made it clear he will use it to evade arrest. Attempt to arrest him but remember your ROE, if he endangers yours or other's lives do not hesitate to handle him. An RCMP team is ready to transport him back to Regina for prosecution should he be detained alive and a bonus will be given to all Pinewood Rangers that participate in his arrest
An event primarily for Rangers involving tracking down a criminal. The rangers will have to search the surrounding area for tracks and evidence of the fugitive. They are given incentives to act out an arrest and attempt deescalation in order to gain a reward from the RCMP. This event is intended to be a semi-realistic police like event

Refugee Crisis
Nexus Command to FOB 225, we have reports coming in that a previously undiscovered KTE has been discovered in the neighboring regions. We have already dispatched teams to find and eliminate the KTE however there is another problem. The KTE has caused massive damage to civilian centers in the region and refugees are going to be passing through your sector. It is of upmost importance that these civilians are taken care of but also that the veil is maintained. Please ensure all civilians are questioned regarding the incident. If any of them report of any incident relating to a possible KTE immediately deploy amnestics of Class-B level. We will be sending your FOB a batch of Class-B as well as humanitarian aid to ensure you are properly stocked to handle this situation. Take care 225 and ensure all the refugees are properly cared for.
An event requiring either a few GMs or a fair chunk of trusted players to play the roles of civilians fleeing an anomaly terrorizing nearby towns and villages. The GOC will need to balance taking care of displaced civilians and ensuring the Veil of Secrecy is maintained. The highest ranking GOC on at the time will be giving a liter or 2 of Class-B amnestics to use on civilians so GOC won't have to use their own chems for the event. The GOC will have to decide how to coerce civilians into their base to ensure they don't spread information about the anomaly, especially since some civilians would rather head further south then stay in the middle of no where

Inside Job
Good evening Cell-56, if you weren't already aware high command has recently been able to infiltrate the ranks of A-1 at Site-65 with a former member. He has been able to get close to the O5 council but A-1 is aware of an infiltrator and are growing more suspicious of him. We cannot lose a member of his skills so you must rescue him. We cannot afford him gaining any unneeded attention so ensure when you contact our agent that it is done through means of stealth. Due to the heat on him his comms are being monitored so do not unless absolutely needed attempt to contact him over comms. He was issued a code word and response word before being deployed which will you be debriefed on momentarily. Good luck
A CI event around infiltration and deception. A GM will flag on to an A-1 role and choose a code name. CI will have to get disguised individuals into the Foundation and attempt to contact the fake A-1 through clandestine means. A-1 will be made aware there is an infiltrator amongst their ranks but only higher ranking A-1 (Depending on who is on during the event) would be made aware of the suspicion on the GM. Should CI attempt a raid orientated at reaching F3 A-1 may keep the infiltrator on a tight leash to ensure nothing goes wrong. Should A-1 be made aware of that the infiltrator exfilled to CI base they may attempt a raid to kill or capture the infiltrator.

Rolling Thunder Pt. 1
Mobile Task Force Delta-45 wing C to Site-65 SOP do you read me? I am Major "Thunderer" with MTF Delta-45 "Rolling Thunder", we dispatched to give you guys some Close Air Support from the time being to help you fight the GOIs in the area. Just radio us a location and we will air strike it, just make sure you tell the civilians to get out of there. Also don't you dare ask my men to strike a civilian target lest I consider strafing you instead.
A more simplistic event that centers around MTF Delta-45 assisting Nu-7 and DEA. A GM would simply fly around cloaked using a tac tablet to call in airstrikes to help Nu-7 and DEA. CI and/or GOC depending on relations will be notified of the incoming CAS and would be notified of incoming MANPADS and Interceptors respectively. This event could include sections that could allow the Foundation to delay the incoming support for CI or GOC. Such as raiding a supply truck heading towards CI base or jamming/destroying a GOC comms device. Eventually however the MANPADs or Inceptors would arrive and down one of the strike aircraft, resulting in Delta-45 withdrawing from the area
Rolling Thunder Pt. 2
*A loud hiss can be heard over the open comms in the Pinewood area before a staticy message is heard* *Cough*, hello? This is uhh.. airman.. Cumberland from.. CAS wing C.. I was shot down and badly injured I see... in the distance the sign for a town called... Pinewood...? If anyone could help me reach the nearby military base.. that'd.. be apperciated
A follow up event to part 1, it involves the rescue/capture of the downed pilot from Delta-45 depending on the player's faction. Cumberland will be on the edges of the map and will wander aimlessly. CI will be tasked with capturing Cumberland, either ransoming him back to Foundation or made an example of. The GOC depending on their relations can save Cumberland to improve relations or arrest him and possibly try to prosecute him if civilians were harmed during the first part of the event. SOP will be tasked with saving him and transporting him to medbay for emergency surgery. This would probably be more of an RP enhancement since it will be more brief then Pt. 1

Investigation
Listen up guys, we have reports from our investigations branch that people have been traveling to the Pinewood area for work not returning. We have lost dozens, if not hundreds of Americans weekly to whatever is there. The Director has given us permission to set up a base there and monitor the area for a few days. We are to report anything unusual. Keep your eyes peeled and be prepared for some high risk ops, we are tasked with embedding agents in some of the local militant forces to investigate for any abnormalities that might be threatening American citizens. Alright, pack up your things, we move in 10
A major event introducing the UIU as a temp. faction for a few days. The UIU would be deployed to the Pinewood area to investigate the disappearance of numerous American citizens that have gone to the area for work. The UIU will attempt to infiltrate all of the factions involved with the anomalous world and may attempt to gather information from the civilian population. The more the UIU learns about what is going on, the more resources they will dedicate to their operations, possibly ending with a raid on one of the factions depending on how they react to the UIU's investigations. The UIU agents when not attempting to infiltrate a faction will attempt to blend in with the civilian population and observe faction activity on surface. This event would be more dynamic as it depends heavily on how much information UIU agents are able to aquire, how many agents go missing or are killed and how hostile the factions are towards the UIU.
What elements can make an event unenjoyable? Include one example, avoiding the typical answers if possible.
I find a lack of player control can make an event unenjoyable. Say for example we were doing an event involving an infection, I've seen a few of these events. Now imagine there is literally nothing players could do to control/influence the spread of the virus and it just simply spreads through the vents. That would be extremely frustrating since nothing you could do would help prevent the spread and is a mark of a poor GM. Players must always be able to influence the course of an event, maybe not have direct control, but their efforts should alter the event if successful or enough effort is given
And finally, what do you wish to achieve by becoming a Gamemaster?
Honestly, my primary motivation for becoming a Gamemaster at this point is to provide uniqe events for General Security. As many are aware I absolutely love GenSec and have been Chief for 11 months now. I have noticed that GSD despite still being fun for me GSD is usually the same routine, with the only events for us being about D-Class getting supplied weapons and armor so they can have a mega riot for an hour. I wanted to change that by providing new events for Security to spice up gameplay and provide the chance for Security to RP more, which there rarely is cases for us to RP as of late. I also found myself while writing this application also wanting to provide events for ETS, which rarely, if ever, is given any events or RP enhancements to do and tends to be a minge magnet role since there is literally nothing to do on it outside of repairs after breaches.
