Do you have any previous experience as a Gamemaster/Event Manager in a community: I have been a gamemaster on another gmod server, however it has been many years since then.
Why would you like to become a Gamemaster:
I will start off by saying that there is one big main reason I would like to be a gamemaster, along with a couple of smaller reasons. The main reason is primarily the GOC, created as what was, to my knowledge, supposed to be a gamemaster faction, to currently having no gamemasters inside the faction. To further emphasize this point I believe that the GOC is often neglected by gamemasters. When I spoke with Johnathan Doe he mentioned one time that GOC should have been getting SCP objects to roleplay with on a rotation, at that point in time we have not had any objects given to us in months. I don't believe situations like these to be intentional simply being forgotten about because its such a small part of the server without any gamemaster to advocate for GOC, but this is one thing I wish to change as a gamemaster, providing more RP to GOC as a whole through events.
I mentioned earlier that there are also a couple of smaller reasons as well. One of these reasons is that for a while there has only been a few gamemasters hosting events over and over. Looking at the event feedback channel in the past, I saw about 90% of events coming from the UK gamemasters, with the remaining 10% of events hosted on the US server hosted by a group of the same gamemasters. While this has changed recently and created a larger spread of gamemasters hosting events, I still look at it and feel somewhat bad for these gamemasters, as constantly being the one to provide the server with events will eventually lead to that gamemaster ending up burnt out of creating events.
The final smaller reason I have is that I just wish to run my own events instead of having a gamemaster work with me to run my idea. While I haven't had any issues with working with gamemasters to bring my event ideas to the server, there have been many events that were eventually lost because of the effort it would be to run them due to majority being storyline based, and I believe that these are the types of events that I would have more fun running myself with help from others, instead of having another gamemaster run the event with myself helping them.
What do you think you would be able to help us with on the server? Why are you special over the other applicants:
I think I would be able to bring new ideas and creativity when it comes to planning unique event ideas. My main goal is to bring enjoyment to as much of the player base as I can through engaging events that aren't just locked to high clearance level individuals. To say that I'm particularly special over other applicants would be discrediting them since everyone has their own unique style and ideas. One skill I have however is the ability to improv on the spot when something unexpected happens, and later build upon it in rp going forward.
Please List 3 small event ideas (Which would involve at least one side of the server):
OOC Information: This would hopefully be done using the map’s fog controller to create a whiteout on surface. Once the whiteout blizzard dissipates a gamemaster would be the first victim of the anomaly, wearing a pac that has a civilian encased in ice, to give exposition to surface GOIs once they are able to unfreeze him from the block of ice. Once the exposition has been given the anomaly will move on to targeting anyone out and alone on surface.
OOC Information: This would hopefully involve passive breach of SCPs such as 7722 to play the part of a paladin. It would also require multiple assistants to play the roles of shopkeepers, barkeepers, and monsters when the dungeonmaster calls for it to continue his story.
Please List an map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server):
Map: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3401474629
Strange murders have been reported in the outskirts of a city about 10 miles away from Pinewood. A civilian who was seen alive less than 10 minutes ago goes missing, a pile of bones appears at his last known location, and eventually he reappears… seemingly different. Reports eventually made their way to Foundation and GOC due to the potential anomalous nature of these murders, and a CI deep cover overhears this information and relays it back to their command. Nu-7, GOC, and CI all get deployed to investigate these murders blending into the town using civilian clothing. Local law enforcement has cordoned off the area, and are unaware of the involvement of GOIs. These police officers will also be investigating the strange murders that only leave behind a pile of bones. Each group has their own objectives, Foundation wishes to contain the threat, CI wishes to weaponize the threat, GOC wishes to destroy the threat. All sides are unaware of the others involvement in the operation, besides CI knowing foundation may be lurking in the town. In addition to these objectives, all groups will also be attempting to uphold the veil by quietly interfering with the police investigations.
OOC Information: Anyone who is not from the 3 groups deployed would be given the option to roleplay as civilians living in the town unaware of the murders. Everyone will be given only pistols and civilian models as this should be a stealth mission, upholding the veil of secrecy. All participants will have one life, once they die they are considered dead for the event. Radios would be preferably used over teamspeak in order to enhance roleplay and give clues to GOIs that they are not the only ones in the area. This event would use SCP-3114 as the anomaly.
List an example mission for each of the following (O-1, A-1, Nu-7, E-11, CI, UNGOC & Foundation Staff):
O-1: A researcher has been arrested multiple times for conducting unethical testing, and each time he was arrested he always claimed that site inspection ordered these tests to be performed. O-1 is tasked with investigating further and uncovering if the claims of site inspection ordering unethical testing are true. If the claims are true and O5 ordered a researcher to conduct unethical tests, what is the end goal of these tests. If the claims are false, is the researcher performing the tests for his own self gain, or just the suffering of d class?
A-1: A note is found at the floor 3 reception desk by A-1 operatives. This note is written with paper clippings and contains a credible threat to the life of site inspections with a date and time, exactly 24 hours from now. Who did this note come from? CI? Ethics? GOC? Someone from within the foundation? What is the end goal? So many questions with so little time to think. A-1 is tasked with investigating who sent the anonymous threat through any means necessary, and prevent the death of an O5 member.
Nu-7: An information leak has been detected in the foundation's computer network. It seems that someone has been quietly syphoning information from the network and waiting for the right time before leaking it. With the help of technical staff, a location has been found and Nu-7 operatives have been dispatched to contain the potential infobreach. In addition to containing the infobreach, Nu7 must figure out how the individual gained remote access to the network in order for technical staff to patch the security vulnerability.
E-11: A new animate anomaly has been discovered, captured, and transferred to Site-65. Response teams have learned how to keep it sedated for safe transport, however not much else is known. E-11 is tasked with a joint operation with research teams to learn of the anomaly’s abilities and the best way to keep it contained without sedation for future testing, as well as a way to safely transport the anomaly to another site without sedatives.
CI: A deepcover has uncovered information about a future shipment coming to site 65. The information contains a time for expected arrival, as well as a brief description of the shipment contents. The shipment seems to contain research equipment for future foundation projects. After digging further the deepcover uncovers schematics for a teleporter system scheduled to be built on the same day as the shipment. CI’s goal is to hijack the shipment in order to build the teleporter for themselves to gain easier access to foundation.
GOC: Intelligence from NEXUS Command has recently uncovered Serpent’s Hand operations near Pinewood. GOC in the Pinewood FOB are tasked to investigate what these operatives may be planning, observe and assess the potential threat to the veil, and report back to command teams. If immediate first or second mission concerns arise from Serpent's Hand involvement, a response level 4 is authorized to contain the threat ASAP without breaching the veil.
Foundation Staff: Recent neglect by technical staff has made the foundation prone to issues within the site. Loose and exposed wiring, lack of IT maintenance leading to unsecure computer systems, as well as many other issues have increased security and safety concerns for everyone working in the facility. Technical staff is tasked with running maintenance on all aspects of the facility no matter how small until these safety and security issues are fixed. Gensec is to increase security by maintaining patrols alongside doctors and medics to locate any accidents that may lead to loss of life if not acted upon quickly. ISD is ordered to observe technical staff in order to figure out why all this routine maintenance has been ignored, and to make sure maintenance is being done and a union isnt starting under their noses.

Please List 3 small event ideas (Which would involve at least one side of the server):
Event 1: “Freezing Point”
A large blizzard has been forecasted in the Pinewood area, Civilians and everyone in the affected area has been advised to stay indoors to stay warm and out of the blizzard. The blizzard rolls in and strange occurrences begin to occur, something is lurking within the blizzard, and it freezes anyone it catches out and alone without warmth. Eventually the blizzard fades and investigations may occur, GOC, Nu7, DEA, and CI must figure out what's going on before the blizzard rolls back in to claim more victims.OOC Information: This would hopefully be done using the map’s fog controller to create a whiteout on surface. Once the whiteout blizzard dissipates a gamemaster would be the first victim of the anomaly, wearing a pac that has a civilian encased in ice, to give exposition to surface GOIs once they are able to unfreeze him from the block of ice. Once the exposition has been given the anomaly will move on to targeting anyone out and alone on surface.
Event 2: “Dungeons & Dragons: Dr. Wondertainment’s Spellbook of Secrets”
Seeing the success of the dungeons and dragons series, Dr Wondertainment releases his own expansion book which eventually makes its way to Pinewood. An aspiring dungeon master is the current owner of this book, attempting to find players to run his very first game as a dungeon master. Unbeknownst to him, the anomalous nature of this book leads to his game coming to life in the Pinewood area, giving the players powers that mimic the characters on their character sheet. The dungeon master’s story begins to manifest itself inside pinewood. Goblin camps, Magical shop keepers, Blacksmiths, and various other creatures all appear in the Pinewood area, everyone begins playing along in this fictitious story. Once the story begins, the dungeonmaster is suddenly nowhere to be found, and Dr. Wondertainment’s expansion book is also missing. Can GOC, CI, and Foundation figure out how to stop the game before tragedy strikes?OOC Information: This would hopefully involve passive breach of SCPs such as 7722 to play the part of a paladin. It would also require multiple assistants to play the roles of shopkeepers, barkeepers, and monsters when the dungeonmaster calls for it to continue his story.
Event 3: “The Man in the Radio”
A radio begins randomly appearing in random locations. At first all the radio does is play static and is seemingly useless only playing static, but faintly through the static something can be heard, “Hello?” “Help me”. Once the radio is tuned and the static disappears, the words become clearer. The void will echo the words more clearly now, asking for help and saying he's stuck. Once interacted with, the voice will start responding to the person speaking with him, but how can the man hear? The radio doesn't have a microphone, it’s an old FM radio. The voice will start asking to be released from the radio, and once a verbal agreement has been made to release the voice, consciousness will be swapped, the person who agreed to release the voice will now be stuck in the radio, while the voice in the radio will take control of the body. If a verbal agreement is not made, the radio will disappear and reappear elsewhere trying to be freed by another person.Please List an map change event idea (Involving both sides and the entire server):
